LET GOD BE GOD

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR. 11 / 10 / 2021

       LET GOD BE GOD.

HEBREWS 10 : 27
Instead, all that is left is to wait in fear for the coming Judgement and fierce fire which will destroy those who oppose God.
I PETER 1 : 24
As the scripture says : ” All human beings are like grass, and all their glory is like wild flowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord remains forever. This word is the Good News that was proclaimed to you.
(GOOD NEWS BIBLE)

Religion is a choice. You are at liberty to make the choice or, even, be irreligious..
Nobody has the power to fight for God: If He is God and not god, be rest assured that the Living God can defend Himself.
Nobody has the authority to impose religious belief on another person. God’s right hand is able to deal decisively with any opposition: God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. God is neither shackled not manacled and He is never overwhelmed.
Make your religion attractive enough to win converts. Winning adherents to your belief must never be through coercion but by selflessness, hospitality and tolerance.
” The scripture says, ” Because of you Jews, the Gentiles speak evil of God.” Romans 2 : 24
Stop shedding blood in the name of religion. Stop the torture of innocent souls deemed to be unbelievers. The human life is most precious in the eyes of the Creator. Stop the slavery and pogrom perpetuated under the pretext of religious zeal. Stop this cruelty meted to fellowbeings in the absurd name of fundamentalism.
” This people will listen and listen, but not understand; they will look and look, but not see, because their minds are dull, and they have stopped up their ears and have closed their eyes. Otherwise, their eyes would see, their ears would hear, their minds would understand, and they would turn to me, says God, and I would heal them.”. Matthew 13:14-15.
We are all sojourners on earth. We are all assured of Judgement for our earthly deeds. The reward does not include harem of virgins to copulate with, but crowns of glory and everlasting life in Paradise. The unrighteous; the wicked; the sadist will surely be eternally doomed.
“Jesus answered them, ” How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you ! You are hypocrites, just as he wrote: ” These people, says God, honour me with their words, but their heart is really far away from me. It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were God’s laws ! You put aside God’s command and obey human teachings.” Mark 7 : 6 – 8..
Stop this bloodletting now. You are not ‘helping’ God. You are hurting yourself when you destroy your fellow man. God expects you to be your brother’s keeper, not his destroyer. God is not pleased with you. Listen and obey God’s word, today. You need Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour in your life that the Holy Spirit may fashion you into a vessel of honour; a being worthy of Divine commendation.
“Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God — Jesus, the Son of God.” Hebrews 4:14.
Strengthen my faith, O God, and deliver me from temptations, in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
LET GOD BE GOD.

SELF-EXAMINATION

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE . 10 / 10 / 2021
SELF – EXAMINATION
HABAKKUK 2 :1 – 4

  1. I will climb my watchtower and wait to see what the LORD will tell me to say and what he will give to my complaint.
  2. The LORD gave me this answer: “Write down clearly on clay tablets what I reveal to you, so that it can be read at a glance.
  3. Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.
  4. And this is the message: ” Those who are evil will not survive, but those who are righteous will live because they are faithful to God.” “
    ( GOOD NEWS BIBLE). TIME IS RUNNING OUT. GOD IS NOT MOCKED. GAINING THE WORLD AT THE EXPENSE OF LOSING THE SOUL IS TRAGIC. THE CALL FOR HOMECOMING CAN BE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE AND ANYHOW. IT IS NOT DETERMINED BY AGE, STATUS OR RELIGION.
    GOD WILL SURELY JUDGE OUR DEEDS. WE NEED TO BELONG TO THE FAMILY OF JESUS CHRIST AND BE FILLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ORDER TO BE GODLY. THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION. ANY OTHER WAY ENDS IN EVERLASTING DAMNATION.
    “THOSE WHO ARE EVIL WILL NOT SURVIVE, BUT THOSE WHO ARE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BECAUSE THEY ARE FAITHFUL TO GOD.”
    MAY WE NEVER FALL FROM GRACE, IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS CHRIST.

ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR
DEVOTIONAL SERVICE. 03 /10 /2021

ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY
GENESIS 8 :1 – 5

  1. God had not forgotten Noah and all the animals with him in the boat; he caused a wind to blow, and the water started going down.
  2. The outlets of the water beneath the earth and the floodgates of the sky were closed. The rain stopped,
  3. and the water gradually went down for 150 days.
  4. On the seventeenth day of the seventh month the boat came to rest on a mountain in the Ararat range.
  5. The water kept going down, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains appeared.
    (GOOD NEWS BIBLE). Octo in Latin means eight. Eight symbolizes a new beginning. October was the eighth month of the yearly calendar at a time when ten months made a year; before Julius Caesar, the then Roman Emperor changed the Calendar Year to twelve months and made October the tenth month: the month of harvest and abundance.
    The Holy Bible states that the first ray of hope that all would be well again after the deluge occurred in the tenth month when Noah sighted the “tops of the mountains” as the waters receded; the floodgates of the sky closed; and the rain stopped. The waters kept going down until the ark of Noah found a resting place on mount Ararat.
    The flood had destroyed the world save Noah and his companions in the Ark. The human occupants of the Ark had to cohabit with every type of creatures in confinement. It was definitely a sordid experience considering also the fact that all other beings had been destroyed. The eight human occupants of the Ark were largely bereaved. It was indeed a hopeless situation.
    But, God had not forgotten Noah. God “caused a wind to blow, and the water started going down”. At the Divinely appointed time, God gave Noah and the Ark a resting place.
    Hitherto, the floodgates of terror had caused you untold sorrow and pains. You have become despondent and inconsolable as hordes from the gates of hell, animals in human skins, parading under various banners trampled and afflicted you with horrific deeds. Your territory had become the slaughter house of barbarians and you had no place to hide; no place to rest.
    But, God has not forgotten you: This is the tenth month. God is already causing the wind to blow; the water of afflictions is receding; and the rain of sorrow over your life has stopped. It is a time of harvest and prosperity: your welfare is not tied to the economy of world. The Lord is your strength and sufficiency.
    “Do not be afraid — I will save you. I have called you by name — you are mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burnt; the hard trials that come will not hurt you.”. Isaiah 43 : 1 – 3.
    No matter the boisterous nature of the wind, fear it not. Call on our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ and you will experience peace.
    “The disciples went to Jesus and woke him up saying, “Master, Master ! We are about to die !” Jesus got up and gave an order to the wind and the stormy water; they died down, and there was a great calm. Then he said to the disciples, ” Where is your faith ?”. Luke 8:24-25.
    IS YOUR FAITH IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST STRONG ENOUGH TO ACCESS THE ABUNDANCE AND PROSPERITY OF THIS TENTH MONTH ?
    WILL YOU BE SET FREE THROUGH FAITH IN THE SUPREMACY OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL SITUATIONS OR WILL YOU REJECT HIS LORDSHIP AND DEJECTED ?
    THE CHOICE IS YOURS. MAY YOU FIND REST IN JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER

MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR

THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER

2 CORINTHIANS 5 :10.
FOR ALL OF US MUST APPEAR BEFORE CHRIST, TO BE JUDGED BY HIM. WE WILL EACH RECEIVE WHAT WE DESERVE, ACCORDING TO EVERYTHING WE HAVE DONE, GOOD OR BAD, IN OUR BODILY LIFE.
(GOOD NEWS BIBLE).

It is the truth that the moment anyone believes in the Lord Jesus Christ, God saves him/her.
“The jailer called for a light, rushed in, and fell trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas. Then, he led them out and asked, ” Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”. They answered, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved — you and your family.” Acts 16 : 29 – 31.
It is also the truth that no one merits being saved for all have sinned “Sin came into the world through one man, and his sin brought death with it. As a result, death has spread to the whole human race because everyone has sinned.” Romans 5 : 12.
It is, therefore, through grace that we are saved; through the sacrificial love of the Lord and Saviour of mankind, Jesus Christ, for all who accept him and trust him alone as their personal Saviour are saved. “We were God’s enemies, but he made us his friends through the death of his Son.” Romans 5 :10.
However, though we are saved through Jesus Christ, yet we will still be judged as to how we appreciate the grace through our works; through our obedience to God’s injunctions. “So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead.” James 2 : 17.
Thank God, you are now a Christian, but what type of Christian are you ? There are different kinds of Christians : the faithful and the unfaithful — Matthew 25:21; the spiritual and the worldly — 1Cor.3:1; the diligent and the careless — Ephesians 5:15-20.
WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF JESUS CHRIST. 2Corinthians 5:10.
WE WILL ALL RECEIVE REWARDS ACCORDING TO THE KINDS OF CHRISTIANS WE HAVE BEEN, FOR OUR WORKS WILL BE TRIED WITH FIRE. 1 Corinthians 3:13 – 15.
EACH OF US WILL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF: WHETHER WE LIVED FOR GOD’S GLORY; AND WHETHER WE WERE OF SERVICE TO HUMANITY. 1 Corinthians 3:13..
THERE WILL BE NO REPENTANCE AFTER DEATH. IT WILL BE TOO LATE TO MAKE AMENDS. THEREFORE, BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHERS AND FALL DOCTRINES. 1 John 18-29.
IF YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR; IF YOU ARE STILL TRUSTING IN FAKE APOSTLES, PROPHETS, AND RELIGIONS, THEN YOU ARE LIVING A MOST MISERABLE LIFE: ONLY JESUS CHRIST HAS THE AUTHORITY TO GIVE BLISSFUL EVERLASTING LIFE AND HAS THE POWER TO CONDEMN THE FINALLY UNREPENTANT TO EVERLASTING DAMNATION IN HELL. JESUS CHRIST IS THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER. ” Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge, so that all will honour the Son in the same way as they honour the Father. Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.” John 5 22 – 23.
If death comes for you today, will you be in Paradise with God’s family or languish forever in satanic kingdom of hell fire ?
Where will I be if death comes for me today ?
The choice is yours and I have a choice, too : we are either for Jesus Christ or against Him.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE RIGHTEOUS EXAMINER AND HE WILL REWARD US AS WE DESERVE.
LORD, DELIVER ME FROM GLITTERS THAT LEAD TO HELL, IN JESUS CHRIST’S NAME.
AMEN.
