His Righteousness - Attaining it
It is the will of God to give us all things freely. But what separates us from God is sin. We are concerned about food and clothing and all those things but Jesus said: We must not be concerned about those things. We need to be concerned about RIGHTEOUSNESS.
We must GET RID OF SIN and LIVE RIGHTEOUSNESS then God will supply all those things to us freely. We read in Matthew 6:33 Jesus said:“ But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things will be added to you.” What is the righteousness of God? The righteousness of God is the STANDARD that JESUS came to demonstrate for us. Jesus came to show us what God’s standard of righteousness is. We must live like Jesus.
The scribes and the Pharisees, the religious people of the time were RIGHTEOUS, SELF-RIGTEOUS according to the law of Moses but Jesus said in Matthew 5:20“ For I say to you, that UNLESS your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you shall not enter the Kingdom of God.” Jesus knows what is in our hearts. He searches our hearts and God wants purity in our hearts. That is why we must be BORN AGAIN, born again of God. We must accept Jesus into our lives and He will give us the new birth. He will make us a new man and then we will SIN NO MORE. We will live like Jesus lived in UTTER RIGHTEOUSNESS.
If we are born again we DO NOT SIN any more, we do the will of God. We read in 1 John 3:9 “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.” If we are born again, we DO NOT SIN and then we come into the presence of God, we are living like Jesus, LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT in the presence of God and we have need of nothing because there is no sin between us and God. There is no separation between us and God.
We must ABIDE IN JESUS, in HIS WORDS, in those Words that He spoke. That is the way that we should live. JESUS is the WAY, and the TRUTH and the LIFE. And the righteousness of God is demonstrated IN JESUS and we are righteous as He is righteous when we ABIDE IM HIM, when we OBEY HIS WORDS. We read in 1 John 2:28 “And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.” That is the sign that we are born of God is if we PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Jesus said SEEK YE FIRST the KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS RIGHTOEUSNESS. Obedience to Jesus brings us into the Kingdom of God and then we practice the righteousness of God according to the standard that Jesus gave us. That is HIS WORDS as also written in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, that is the righteousness of God. God’s standard of righteousness is what Jesus demonstrated to us. If we live according to that standard of righteousness then we are not separated from God any longer and He gives us all things freely, even eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.
Sandy - Punishment from God?
Hurricane Sandy left a trail of destruction and many people died unexpectedly. The question is being asked whether it was an act of God. Nothing happens on this earth without the hand of God in it. God's hand was also in hurricane Sandy.
The truth of the matter is that we will all die, we just don't know when. Many people are dying every day and they go into eternity lost. Most people are so busy with material things and living their life that they don't take the time to prepare for eternity. They are suddenly swept away and they end up in eternal damnation.
The love of God wants to turn us around, turn us from evil and wants to give us the opportunity to prepare for eternity. It is rather better that God takes away those things that we love more than Him, so that we can get our focus right and prepare for eternity.
Were those people who were suddenly swept away, were they bigger sinners than us that were not affected? Jesus answered that question: Luke 13:4 “Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but UNLESS YOU REPENT, YOU WILL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.”
If we do not REPENT, TURN AWAY FROM SIN, seek God, obey Jesus and live righteously, we will all likewise perish. It is a warning to us because God loves us. Eternity is a very long time to spend in damnation. Many people die every day and they stand before Jesus and He says to them:”Go away I never knew you, you who work wickedness.” If we don't have time for Jesus now, we will not know Him when we die and we will not be received into His kingdom for eternity.
Let us REPENT and seek Jesus, get to know Him, before we likewise perish.
May Jesus bless you.
Living Water - You will never thirst again
We look for peace and joy and fulfillment in many things in life but the only one who can satisfy our soul is Jesus Christ. We read in John 4:9 about a Samaritan woman. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. “The Samaritan woman therefore said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.” 11She said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? 12“ You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?” 13Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again; 14but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM SHALL BECOME IN HIM A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE.”
That water, that LIVING WATER is still available, only from Jesus and it will become in you a well of living water that springs up into eternal life. This was a sinful woman, she had five husbands but Jesus offered her LIVING WATER. None of us is deserving of the love of God. None of us is deserving of the living water that Jesus offers us.
All He says is:”Come to Me and I will give you that LIVING WATER.” If you are thirsty and dry, if you are thirsty enough, if you have tried everything and your life is a mess, it is time to go to Jesus for the LIVING WATER. Fall down on your knees before Him and say:”Lord, give me that LIVING WATER.” It will become in you a well that springs up into eternal life and if you want to have that living water and always drink of it, then STAY WITH JESUS. Turn away from everything else, all those dry wells where you you have been, where you have been looking for peace and joy and happiness, and where you were disappointed, because Jesus, ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE YOU LIVING WATER.
Are you thirsty and dry? Then it is time to go to Jesus. Fall on your knees, cry out to Him. Say:”Lord, give me that LIVING WATER,” and He will give you of that LIVING WATER. If you are not thirsty enough, if you are not dry enough, FAST and PRAY and SEEK Him and He will FILL YOU with the LIVING WATER!
May Jesus Bless you.

Why a rich man will hardly enter heaven
Jesus said that is is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. The reason for this is that if we have riches, earthly goods and possessions that we trust in and that are our security then we will not follow after Jesus.
It is easy for riches and earthly possessions to become our crutch, that which we trust in and then we have no need for God, we become captives of our possessions, of our qualifications, of the knowledge that we have acquired over time and that is why a rich man, a person who is rich in money or in knowledge, educated people, find it very hard to follow Jesus. They trust in their own abilities and in their own means.
God knows what we need. Jesus knows the future, He knows what you will need in future, He knows what I will need, but above all He knows what I will need to do His will. If I go after riches and qualifications, education, knowledge then my focus is off Jesus and onto those things which I trust in, which I believe that I need to sustain me. That is why Jesus said:”SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS WILL BE ADDED TO YOU.” Once we have acquired earthly riches and established ourselves through that which we achieved, qualifications, education, whatever, then we despise God because “I can do it for myself, my way. ” That is why a person who is rich in earthly goods and abilities will hardly enter the kingdom of heaven. He WILL NOT TRUST JESUS, he will not let go of his earthly securities, and that makes him UNFRUITFUL AND USELESS for the kingdom of God!
Everything belongs to God and He gives freely to those who serve Him, who serve the kingdom of heaven. He knows what you need and He will supply but if you go after those things then your focus is off Jesus. A lot of people don't have those things, they don't have riches, they don't have knowledge but they are going after them, and because they are going after those things they are not following after Jesus and they will not make themselves available for the kingdom of God. In the end they are fruitless and they are cut off and burned.
Jesus said:””SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God and His righteousness AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.” Do you trust in Jesus that He will guide your footsteps and that He will supply in all your needs, that He will tell you what to study, where to live, whom to marry, what house to buy, when to sell it, what to do for His kingdom? Or are you doing it your way?
We cannot enter the kingdom of heaven and be useful for the kingdom of God UNLESS we deny ourselves, be willing to let go of these things, of our own ideas and DO what God tells us to do. Study what God tells you to study, live where He tells you to live, but first we need to get close with Jesus. Listen to His voice, seek Him and follow Him and He will guide you every step of the way. He will supply in every need and He will make us fruitful. If we do not remain IN CHRIST, IN HIS WILL, listening to Him, obeying Him, following Him then we cannot bear fruit and we will get cut off and burned.
We must seek Jesus and His will and stay IN HIS WILL and then we will bear much fruit for the kingdom of God.
May Jesus bless you.

Pumpkin Disappointment
We arrived in the USA with hurricane Isabel in 2003 and soon after that it was Thanksgiving and Halloween. Where we come from pumpkins are food and I did not know that you cannot eat a Halloween pumpkin.
I was excited to find this beautiful big pumpkin in the supermarket and I paid $5 for it. I took it home and I said to my wife:”Guess what! I found us a nice pumpkin!.” We cut the pumpkin, put some of it in the freezer and my wife cooked some of this pumpkin for us to eat, but what a disappointment, it was not edible. You couldn't eat it. I was so disappointed to learn that these pumpkins are only for show, only for Halloween. I was amazed to learn how much money is spent every year on a pagan festival, on Halloween where back in Africa people are dying of hunger, where pumpkins are planted for food and in this wonderful country that we came to it is for a pagan festival, for Halloween.
Will God excuse us if we waste so much money on pagan festivals? I even see Halloween parties advertised at churches. What kind of churches are these? Pagan churches? Will God leave us unpunished if we have become conformed to the world and if we waste what He has given us on pagan festivals, worthless pumpkins?
May Jesus bless you.
Making Wise the Simple
Knowledge is power, that is what we have been taught, but knowledge and education does not make a person wise. I have done a lot of studying myself and I have a few post-graduate degrees but in my studies and in my work I have met some very educated people that were extremely foolish. I have met many people who have a lot of Bible knowledge but they are FOOLISH BECAUSE THEY DON'T FEAR GOD, they don't know Jesus. Because of their knowledge they think that they know more than God and they reject true wisdom. They reject Jesus.
Jesus Christ is the wisdom of God and he gives wisdom to the simple, to those that do not lean on their own understanding, their own education, their own knowledge, their own knowledge of the Bible, but who are teachable and who humbly come and bow before Jesus, who walk with Him, day by day and He teaches them wisdom. True wisdom is in the words of Jesus Christ, those words that are written in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) that are rejected by the world, that are rejected by theologians as impractical, those are the words of life, the words of Jesus as they are also written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we OBEY them and DO them, then we come closer to Jesus. If we OBEY Him He reveals Himself to us and HE IS THE WISDOM OF GOD. If we lean on our own understanding and we treasure other things, other wisdom and other knowledge above knowing Jesus then we are foolish.
True wisdom comes through our relationship with Jesus. It is only when we start OBEYING Jesus; we REPENT of evil, and live in RIGHTEOUSNESS, PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS and HOLINESS THEN HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO US, then He teaches us true wisdom. Jesus makes wise the simple, those people who humble themselves before Him. Jesus was rejected by the scribes and pharisees, the educated people of the time. They were the ones who had Him crucified, and even today those LITERATE, EDUCATED, BIBLE BELIEVING folk are those ones who don't know Jesus, who reject Him in favor of their own knowledge because they lean on their own understanding and they reject Jesus Christ.
If you want true wisdom and guidance, if you want eternal life, humble yourself before Jesus, take His words seriously because His words are the words of eternal life to those who BELIEVE HIS WORDS and OBEY Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Hoodies and Bumper Stickers for Jesus
We have been offering t-shirts with the message of Jesus Christ printed on them for free, for some months now. Winter is approaching and obviously people cannot wear t-shirts. We have the printing facilities available, we have the screen printing screens and we can print these designs and some others on hoodies (sweaters) for those who wish to continue to be a witness for Jesus even in the winter months.
We are not a ministry, we are just two servants who are willing to print these messages on t-shirts and on hoodies to enable those who want to witness for Jesus. We do not get t-shirts and hoodies for free, we have got to buy them. We have also got to pay for the postal services if we send these things out. So obviously we are not receiving freely. If you want a hoodie with a message printed on it you can go to my website, the link is at the end of this videos and also in the description box below this video. You will need to send me a donation to cover the cost and I will do the printing for you free of charge.
We have received some donations but we have sent out hundreds of t-shirts FOR FREE. Most people are happy to receive something for free. I just hope that they are wearing these t-shirts and witnessing for Jesus, as intended. Whether they do that is between them and Jesus.
I am also looking at printing bumper stickers for those who are willing to put a bold message of Jesus Christ on their motor car. The link is also in the description box below this video and you are welcome to email me and I will send you some bumper stickers.
For those critics who believe that I am making a profit out of this endeavor I want to assure you that there are very FEW people who are willing to wear the truth on their bodies and to stick the truth on their motor car. Those who criticize will in any case not be associated with Jesus in public. We are making this service available to the FEW who are serious about witnessing for Jesus.
We are here to serve YOU and to help you to be a witness for Jesus. The service is available, we are available and you can make use of it if you want to. We are doing it for you and for the Kingdom of God, not for ourselves. Jesus is the fair judge of our deeds and our intentions. He KNOWS what we are about. He knows His children. We are here to help you spread the truth and to bring souls into the Kingdom of Heaven. You can make use of us if you so wish.
May Jesus bless you

Abide IN Jesus - PRACTICE Righteousness
Jesus Christ is coming for those who ABIDE IN HIM, those who OBEY His words. We read in 1 John 2:28 “And now, little children, ABIDE IN HIM, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 29If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS is born of Him.”We need to PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS, we need to live in utter OBEDIENCE to the words of Jesus as also written in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).
We read in 2 John 1:6 “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.” Verse 9 “Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the TEACHING OF CHRIST, does not have God; the one who ABIDES IN THE TEACHING, he has both the Father and the Son. 10If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; 11for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds.”
Many people preach a GRACE GOSPEL, that the grace of God tolerates sin. That is a doctrine of demons, that is from satan. With such a person, do not even eat, do not talk to him, do not associate with him because you are participating in his evil deeds because his deeds are evil. Our deeds show what we are. Our fruit show what tree we are. PEOPLE WHO KEEP ON SINNING DO NOT KNOW JESUS, they are not Christians, they are not followers of Christ , they are not born again, they are of satan.
We read in 1 John 3:6 “6NO ONE WHO ABIDES IN HIM SINS; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who PRACTICES RIGHTEOUSNESS is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.” Verse 10 ”By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.”
If we do not PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS we are not of God and we do not have salvation. We only ABIDE IN Christ IF we OBEY His teachings, His words (as also written in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), and then we will PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS.
May Jesus bless you.

A New Man
Faith in Jesus Christ produces a NEW MAN. A person who believes in Jesus is BORN AGAIN, He is not the same person any more. He does not DO the same things any more, he does not sin any more but he OBEYS the words of Jesus and DOES the will of God.
If a person is not changed, if he is not a NEW MAN then he never believed in Jesus. He who is in Christ is a NEW CREATURE, THE OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY , he has become a child of God and he DOES the will of God. He OBEYS the words of Jesus. He totally repents, turns away from his previous lifestyle, his previous way of thinking. He stops sinning, he is baptized in water. He follows and obeys Jesus.
If that change has not taken place in us then we are not born again and we are not children of God. A tree is known by it's fruit. If we are born again we WILL BE LIKE JESUS. We will SPEAK the words of Jesus, we will live like Him and we will DO like Him. We will OBEY our Father, GOD.
Have YOU become a NEW MAN? Do you TRULY believe in Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Deadwood Believers
The vast majority of believers have been deceived into believing that they only need to believe in Jesus to have salvation, they don't need to do anything. But that is a lie from satan that will cause many to end up in hell. We are called to be fruitful. If we belong to Jesus and we are IN Him, IN HIS WILL, then we will bear fruit. We will bring others to Jesus. Jesus will be seen in us, but if we do not ABIDE IN Christ, if we do not have a living relationship with Jesus, serving Him as Master then we become DEADWOOD and we will get cut off and burned.
Jesus said (John 15:1)“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.”
We must abide in Jesus, we must stay in His will, we must stay in that close relationship with Him, DOING what is pleasing to Him. If we do not stay close to Jesus we WILL GET CUT OFF AND BURNED. Salvation is not a possession, it is not a guarantee. If we do not stay WITH JESUS and IN HIM we will get cut off.
We read in Hebrews 6:7 “For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.”
MANY BELIEVERS WILL END UP IN HELL. They will be burned. Jesus is talking about BRANCHES IN HIM. He is not talking about unbelievers, He is not talking about the world. He is talking about those who have believed in Him. If we do not bear fruit, if we do not testify for Jesus and if we do not obey Him, do what is pleasing to Him, we will get cut off.
I was cut off. I WAS ALSO A DEADWOOD BELIEVER. Everything was about me, my focus was on me and what God has done for me and what I wanted to be and what I wanted out of the kingdom of God. It is not about US, it is not about OUR LIFE, it is about Jesus. I was cut off. I had a heart attack, I died. I found myself on my way to hell but Jesus had mercy on me. He gave me a second chance and that is why I am back. I am here to bear fruit. I am here to warn you that if you are deadwood you are close to being cursed, close to being cut off and burned. Come alive for Jesus, friend, before you are cut off.
If we do not bear GOOD fruit we will get cut off. If we do not ABIDE IN CHRIST, if our relationship with Him is not right we CANNOT BEAR FRUIT. How is your relationship with Jesus? Are you close with Jesus, or have you become DEADWOOD? Seek Him and bear fruit before it is TOO LATE.
May Jesus bless you.

Hell is REAL - TURN or YOU WILL BURN
All sinners will end up in hell, when
they die they will open their eyes and find themselves at their
destination if they do not REPENT and OBEY Jesus Christ. That also
goes for BELIEVERS WHO SIN. The wages of sin is death and there will
be NO EXCEPTION.
I was a believer when I had a heart
attack in 1998, I died and I found myself on my way to hell. I was
baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit but I found myself on
my way to hell. God requires ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE TO THE WORDS OF
JESUS. No deviation will be tolerated. If we want to enter the
kingdom of heaven and have eternal life we must OBEY Jesus Christ
ABSOLUTELY. YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS, you will love the one and
despise the other. If you love sin and yourself you hate Jesus. There
will also be no delay in the punishment. IF YOU DISOBEY JESUS YOU
WILL OPEN YOUR EYES IN HELL.
As we also read the words of Jesus in
Luke 16, the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. I read verse 22:
“Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to
Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23“In
Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far
away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24“And he cried out and said,
‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am
in agony in this flame.’ 25“But Abraham said, ‘Child,
remember that during your life you received your good things, and
likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and
you are in agony. 26‘And besides all this, between us and you
there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over
from here to you will not be able, and thatnone may cross over
from there to us.’ 27“And he said, ‘Then I beg you,
father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28for I have
five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not
also come to this place of torment.’ 29“But Abraham said,
‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30“But
he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the
dead, they will repent!’ 31“But he said to him, ‘If they
do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded
even if someone rises from the dead.’”
I am here to warn you that HELL IS REAL
and there is no DELAY. Do not believe what other people say to you.
Believe the words of Jesus, the words that He spoke as written in the
gospels as O just read for you here. Those are the words of truth. If
you do not BELIEVE Jesus and OBEY Him, you will end up in that place
of torment. There will be no second chances, there is no way out.
Either you repent now and you obey Jesus or you will end up in
eternal damnation for eternity. NOW IS THE TIME TO REPENT. Seek Jesus
NOW! Be holy, OBEY Him, do not let anybody tell you that you can go
on sinning and still have eternal life. That is a lie form satan
because he wants you in hell.
REPENT! TURN OR YOU WILL BURN! SEEK
JESUS NOW!
May Jesus bless you.

Use your talents or you will lose them
God has given us all talents and abilities, so that we can give glory to Him. He made us to be a Temple of His Holy Spirit in which He can dwell. We are the light of the world and Jesus must dwell in us. Our talents and our abilities must be applied for the Kingdom of God. Jesus said:"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where rust and moth destroy but store up for yourselves treasure in Heaven where moth and rust do not destroy, because where your treasure is there your heart will be also."
Many people only apply their talents and their efforts for their own gain, for their own pleasure and they have no interest in the Kingdom of God. Their treasure is on this earth. They have no business in the Kingdom of Heaven. Dear friend, you will lose it all. Everything that we accumulate on this earth, we will lose. It doesn’t matter how much you accumulate. It doesn’t matter what you achieve, you will lose it. The moment you die, all you will have left is your treasure that you have stored up in Heaven, that which you have done for the Kingdom of God.
Jesus has called us to be witnesses. One of the biggest treasure He has given us is a voice that we can speak, that we can testify for Him but many believers do not testify for Jesus because they don’t know Jesus. Many of them deny Jesus, they disown Him and He said that whoever disowns Him, in front of this wicked generation, He will also disown them in front of His Heavenly Father.
Where is our treasure? What are we applying ourselves to? Are we busy with ourselves, our own pleasure, our next holiday, the things that we want or are we concerned about the Kingdom of Heaven? Because Jesus said: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you." There is nothing more satisfying and more lasting than to invest yourself into the Kingdom of God, to apply yourself to the Kingdom of God, to apply your talents to the Kingdom of God. We all know the parable of the talents, the person who received 10 the other with 5 the other 1, and how the one who had one talent went and He buried it. We also know his end. That which he had was taken away from him and he was cast out in utter darkness, but those who had applied their talents and multiplied their talents receive more talents. What are we doing with our talents? Are we applying them for the Kingdom of God or are we squandering them and hiding them? Where is our treasure and what will we have to show when we stand before Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
LOST in church - salvation deception
It is a sad tragedy that most people
who go to church are lost. They are busy with religion, doctrines,
Bible studies and they dedicate their lives to the church but they DO
NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST. Eternal life is about KNOWING Jesus FOR REAL.
You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
if you are not born again of water (baptism) and of the Spirit of God
(Holy Spirit). You must become a spiritual person who is in
relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. If you are born again
your entire life is about Jesus, your relationship with Him, being
led by His Spirit, LISTENING, FOLLOWING, OBEYING Jesus, not a church
or an organization.
No man can serve two masters, he will
hate the one and love the other. You cannot serve Jesus AND church.
IF you belong to Jesus then you ARE the Body of Christ, the CHURCH,
then He lives IN YOU and you ARE the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, you testify
for Jesus and you bring other people unto HIM, not to a church.
Because YOU know Jesus you take people to HIM so that they also can
have eternal life. If you do not have Jesus, you are LOST.
Churches are a deviation, they take
people away from Jesus, unto themselves and people are committed to
the church. They become slaves of the church, in bondage to the
church and the church organization. Jesus will set you free to be a
CHILD OF GOD who witnesses for the kingdom of God, not for some
earthly organization. Do you belong to Jesus? And are you a citizen
of the Kingdom of Heaven or do you belong to a church, because if you
belong to a church YOU ARE LOST. You need to belong to Jesus and
follow Him to have eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

Do not trust in Spiritual Mentors
In our search for direction in life and
for spiritual wisdom we often look for spiritual mentors and that is
why people go after people who they regard as as spiritual leaders.
Sadly these people do not guide them to Jesus, they lead them the
wrong way. True wisdom is to follow Jesus. No man knows what is going
to happen tomorrow, nobody knows. And if we look at people those
people will disappoint us.
Many people look at these spiritual
leaders and they are severely disappointed but then they hate God,
but they were never following Jesus, they had nothing to do with God.
They were busy with some spiritual leader, a spiritual man.
Jesus sent us His Holy Spirit to guide
each and every one of us into the whole truth. We must not look at
men, we must not look on the arm of flesh but we must call on Jesus.
The apostle James wrote:”If any man needs wisdom LET HIM ASK IT OF
GOD who gives to ALL men FREELY...” Go read James chapter 1, verse
5 onwards. Wisdom comes from God. Wisdom is to know Jesus, to TRUST
Him. Jesus will NEVER let you down if you TRUST Him. If you come to
Him with a pure heart He will not let you down, even though you are
dumb. If we are serious with Jesus then He makes sure that our feet
do not slip. Your feet cannot slip if you are pure in heart, if you
are serious about following Jesus, if you are serious about being
pleasing to Him. If you ask His counsel when you go to Him and you
mean it with all your heart He will NOT fail you, He will NOT let you
down, but people will (let you down) because they are fallible –
men fail!
We must follow after Jesus ALONE. We
must seek our wisdom from HIM. We must pray and ask Him and He will
answer us. But if we go to Him we must TRUST HIM with all our heart,
He rewards those who diligently seek Him. If you don't trust Him,
don't bother going to Him. If you do follow after men you will
certainly be disappointed. That is why it is our task as disciples of
Jesus, to point others to the Light, Jesus Himself. Follow Jesus and
you will NEVER be in darkness
May Jesus bless you.

Preach Jesus Christ not the Bible
The Bible cannot save you, Jesus Christ saves those who believe in Him and who OBEY Him. It is the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST, that saves those who BELIEVE and who OBEY Him. Jesus said to the scribes and the pharisees: “You search the scriptures in there to find eternal life but you refuse to come to Me to have life” (John 5:39). Eternal life in is Jesus, NOT in the Bible. The gospels are contained in the Bible, the four books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In there the words of Jesus were recorded and IF we BELIEVE those words, FALL on our knees and cry out to Jesus, IF we REPENT of sin and OBEY Him, and are baptized in water and if we FEAR Him and LOVE Him and FOLLOW Him we will have eternal life, but the Bible cannot save anybody. There are many Bible churches and there is a lot of Bible study but most of those people do not know Jesus, they do not have salvation. The POWER OF GOD is in the PREACHING OF JESUS CHRIST because that makes people turn away from sin and OBEY Jesus and they are saved. Churches are full of sinners because they don't believe Jesus. If you believe Jesus and the words of Jesus you will turn away from sin, you will FEAR SIN, you will FEAR GOD, you will HATE SIN and you will seek Jesus with all your heart. The preaching of the Bible cannot save you, it is Jesus Christ who saves! You need Jesus in your heart, in your life, Jesus needs to be YOUR LIFE! If Jesus Christ is not your reality then YOU DON'T have eternal life. Jesus does not live in sinners. You need to REPENT, TURN AWAY from sin, STOP SINNING and then you can follow Jesus, but you cannot go on sinning and be a child of God. You must TURN AWAY form everything, turn your back on the world, turn your back on your SELF, your own ambitions and GO AFTER JESUS. It is the gospel of Jesus Christ that saves. The apostles preached JESUS. Paul said to the Corinthians: “When I came to you I knew nothing BUT Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Corinthians 2:2) He did not go to them with fancy stories, He went to them with Jesus Christ and the POWER of Jesus Christ TRANSFORMED them into children of God because they REPENTED and they BELIEVED in Jesus. The power of Jesus Christ transforms those who BELIEVE in Him, who REPENT, who TURN AWAY FROM SIN and FOLLOW Him with all their heart. Jesus does not dwell in a sinner. You can go on doing Bible study and you will end up in hell. If you don't have Jesus in your heart, YOU ARE LOST! Seek Jesus and OBEY Him. Jesus must be real to you. May Jesus bless you.

Not all are preachers
Not all of us who believe in Jesus, have been called to be preachers. We have different talents and abilities that Jesus has given us and He will use us in different ways but we have all been called to follow Him. We have all been called to be witnesses, we have all been called to be in relationship with Jesus to serve Him and Lord and to LISTEN to His voice. All His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him, all His sheep bear fruit. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned.
Jesus did not call us to be Bible students and church members, He called us to be His body, His Church that He is building and He lives inside of those who OBEY Him, who have received His Spirit. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us, we do not belong to Him. He called us to be shining lights in this world, to be the salt of the earth. If our light is not shining in this world then we are not serving the purpose for which He has called us. Our light might be small but as long as it shines it will draw people to Jesus. He has called us all over the world to be shining lights for His Kingdom. Are we shining for Jesus? Are we witnessing for Jesus? Are we serving the purpose for which He called us? A light that shines, even though it might be small, minute, it drives out darkness.
Millions of small lights shining all over light up the world but if we are not shining for Jesus and we are useless for His kingdom. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off. If our light is not shining and if we do not light up this world, if we are not witnesses for Jesus then we are not serving our purpose.
We are ALL called to be the light of the world. We are all called to be witnesses of Jesus. Are we serving that purpose?
May Jesus bless you.

Why the Christian Church is REDUNDANT
The institutional Christian church has
become irrelevant. It has no effect on society. It is secularized, it
is exactly just like the world and it is obvious when you look around
you. When you look at the political scene the Christian church has NO
EFFECT. It is DEAD. The reason for that being that THEY HAVE DENIED
CHRIST, they have turned their back on Jesus Christ and that is why
they have become irrelevant. Jesus has spewed them out of His mouth
like vomit because they have turned their back on Him.
Salt is good but if it has lost it's
saltiness it is good for nothing, it is not even good enough for the
dung pile and that is the situation with the the Christian church, IT
IS DEAD. IT HAS A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT IT HAS DENIED THE POWER
THEREOF, JESUS CHRIST. They do not preach Jesus any more, they preach
myths (stories).
The church has become a haunt of demons
with everything that you find in the world. They are following the
world, not Jesus Christ and that is why THE CHURCH IS ROTTING AWAY.
If you stay in the dead church you will rot away with it because
Jesus is not there.
Invite Jesus into your life, submit
yourself to Him and obey Him and His power will be manifested in and
through you. YOU WILL NOT BE IRRELEVANT. If Jesus is in you, you ARE
the light of the world, you ARE the salt of the earth, the power of
God IS manifested through you.
Come out from amongst them and seek
Jesus or else YOU WILL ROT WITH THEM. You can only have LIFE in you
if you have JESUS IN YOU. If the Spirit of Christ is not in you, YOU
ARE DEAD like the modern day Christian church. COME ALIVE and let
Jesus Christ be seen in you.
May Jesus bless you.

Do you have the Spirit?
Many people claim to be born again but
they are not. Jesus said that unless a person is born again he cannot
enter the kingdom of Heaven. I read from John 3:3 Jesus said to him,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God.” In verse 5 He says:“unless one is born
of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
Verse 8 He says:“ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the
sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is
going; SO IS EVERYONE who is born of the Spirit” of God.
A person who is born again is LED BY
THE SPIRIT OF GOD. He is not led and motivated by his own mind and by
the desires of the flesh. He is led by the Spirit of God and he goes
where the Spirit of God sends him. His only purpose and duty is to DO
what God wants him to do, he is a child of God.
If we do not have the Spirit of Christ
living in us we are NOT BORN AGAIN and we do not belong to Him, as
Paul also wrote in Romans 8:8 “and those who are in the flesh
cannot please God. 9However, you are not in the flesh but in the
Spirit, IF INDEED THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU. But if anyone does
not have the Spirit of Christ, HE DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM.” Verse 14
he says: “14For ALL WHO ARE BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, these
are sons of God.” That is what qualifies you as a child of God, as
a son of God. You MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, you must have
received the Holy Spirit of God and you must follow Him, you must be
LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
Belonging to a church, owning a Bible,
doing Bible study, none of those things make you a child of God. What
makes you a child of God is if you are BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF
GOD and you are only born of the Spirit of God if you OBEY Jesus, if
you REPENT, if you turn to Him, turn away from serving yourself and
sin. You repent of your sins, you OBEY Him, you are baptized in water
and you FOLLOW Him. You SEEK Him with with all your heart and He will
give you the Holy Spirit, He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and
the Holy Spirit will GUIDE you. You will not do what YOU want to do
any longer. You will DENY yourself and you will follow the guidance
of the Holy Spirit to be pleasing to God, not to yourself. A CHILD OF
GOD SERVES GOD!
Have you received the Holy Spirit! Are
you led by the Spirit of God? ARE YOU TRULY BORN AGAIN? Because if
you do not have the Spirit of Christ you do not belong to Him. Seek
Jesus with all your heart and ask Him for the new birth, for His
Spirit to come and dwell in you because the Spirit of God dwelling in
you is GOD HIMSELF DWELLING IN YOU. You become a temple of the Holy
Spirit, and if you are not a temple of the Holy Spirit you do not
belong to Him, you do not have salvation, you are not born again.
Some people have received the Holy
Spirit and they are not following the Spirit. THEY WILL GET CUT OFF
because every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off
and BURNED. We are called for duty in the Kingdom of God. We are
called to be witnesses, we are called to build the Kingdom of God and
if we do not build the Kingdom of God, if we are not led by the
Spirit of God we are not part of the Kingdom of God.
Have you received the Holy Spirit and
are you led by the Holy Spirit? Do you OBEY Jesus every moment of
your life?
May Jesus bless you.

Don't let church take you to hell
Many people wrongly believe that their
church membership and church attendance, their Bible knowledge, their
preacher, those things, that they can give them eternal life, secure
their eternal security. That is not true. You need to be born again,
you need to become a child of God to have eternal life and to enter
the kingdom of heaven.
Only Jesus Christ can give you the new
birth. Only Jesus can give you eternal life through your REAL
RELATIONSHIP with Him. Nothing and nobody else can help you but
Jesus. YOUR CHURCH MEMBERSHIP HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. Your Bible knowledge cannot help you to
enter the kingdom of heaven, it is KNOWING JESUS and BEING KNOWN BY
HIM.
Many people know the Bible like a
history book. They can quote the verses and the chapters but they are
not born again, they do not really know Jesus. Many people believe
that they are born again because they have said some sinners prayer
but they DON'T KNOW JESUS, they are not in a real relationship with
Him. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they FOLLOW Me.”
Jesus puts His Holy Spirit inside of a person who is born again and
that person communicates with Jesus all the time. He HEARS from Jesus
all the time. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him and
they DO what is pleasing to Him. They are led by His Spirit.
It's got nothing to do with your church
membership, your church attendance or your Bible knowledge. It is
whether you know Jesus and whether He knows you. Have you met Jesus
Christ? Are you truly born again? Are you in a REAL relationship with
Jesus? Or are you just a church member? Do you just know the Bible,
or do you know Jesus of the Bible? Reading in the Bible how other
people walked with Jesus, how they were led by the Holy Spirit, that
should ENCOURAGE US to get into that same real relationship with
Jesus, but if we ourselves do not get to know Jesus the way that they
did then we don't know Him and we don't have salvation. Then we are
LOST.
You need to get to know Jesus. Fall on
your knees and cry out to Him. Say:”Lord, I want to know You
PLEASE!” Repent of your sin. Say:”Lord, forgive all of my sins
PLEASE!” Cry out to Him UNTIL He answers you. Cry out to Him UNTIL
you know that God is REAL and that you have met Jesus. He will CHANGE
you inside. He will wipe out your past sins, He will make you NEW
INSIDE. He will make you a child of God, but you NEED TO MEET JESUS
and you need to have a real relationship with Him. You need to follow
Jesus, be led by His Spirit every day UNTIL the very end of your
life.
You cannot go on sinning and be in a
church, and know the Bible and quote verses and think that you are
saved. NO man can help you. A preacher who has gone to Bible college
for three years, does not know God, he knows about the church
business, but he doesn't know Jesus. He cannot lead you to Jesus. You
need to know Jesus. Don't trust people. Get to know Jesus! Get on
your knees and cry out to Him UNTIL He answers you, until He fills
you with His peace and you KNOW that you have met the living God and
then keep on seeking Him. Keep on following Him until the end of your
life.
If you don't know Jesus and He doesn't
know you then He will say to you one day:”Go away I never knew
you.” Do you know Jesus and does Jesus know you?
May Jesus bless you.

Why the truth is NOT preached in churches
The truth is not preached in churches
because the truth is hard, it hurts, it hurts our flesh. It hurts our
ego but if we listen to the truth and we do it, we apply it, then it
will set us free. People love lies and that is why they go to these
popular churches, these Mega churches.
Churches cannot afford to speak the
truth because their doors will close. People don't want the truth,
they love lies. As Paul also predicted and wrote in 2 Timothy 4:3,4.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for
themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; 4and will
turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.”
SOUND DOCTRINE is, the WORDS OF JESUS because those are the words of
life. Churches will not preach the words of Jesus (The words Jesus
spoke as recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John). They
preach myths, they preach their own interpretation of the words of
Paul, their own thoughts and their own doctrines, which are doctrines
of demons. They are lies, because those lies will take you to hell.
The truth will set you free but people
love those lies and that is why they support and build these churches
and why there are myriads of preachers that are supported by people
who LOVE LIES and who love to pay for lies, for entertainment,
dancing girls and entertainment, lovely music, but THEY ARE NOT
HEARING THE TRUTH. They are being accepted by the church but they
don't know God, they don't know Jesus. They don't know the truth.
They are on their way to hell.
Paul also wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1-5.
“But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant,
revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving,
irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal,
haters of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God; 5HOLDING TO A FORM OF GODLINESS, although
they have denied its power; and AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE.” He is
talking about the MODERN DAY CHURCH. They are not believers, they are
not followers of Jesus Christ, they are FAKES. That is why Paul said:
AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE
because if you associate with them and
go with them you will go into the same place where they are going,
YOU WILL GO INTO THE DEPTHS OF HELL. Paul writes:”AVOID SUCH MEN AS
THESE.” COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM!
He writes in 2 Corinthians 6:14 “Do
not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have
righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with
darkness?” These preachers say:”We are all sinners!” They are
unrepented sinners that are running churches. THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWERS
OF JESUS CHRIST, THEY ARE DECEIVERS, WORKERS OF SATAN, they are
unbelievers. They don't believe the words of Jesus, neither do they
preach them, THEY PREACH LIES.
I read verse 15”Or what harmony has
Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an
unbeliever? 16Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For
we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I WILL
DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY
SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. 17“ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE
SEPARATE,” says the Lord. “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And
I will welcome you. 18“ And I will be a father to you, And you
shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.”
The followers of Jesus has never been
many, He calls then a SMALL FLOCK. NOT MANY WILL BE SAVED. Few will
be saved. Only few are willing to accept the truth and to live the
truth, to follow Jesus Christ. Do not be deceived by all the churches
that you see and all the deceived souls that go there. Don't be one
of them. If you want eternal life you need to follow Jesus, read His
words in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and DO them. And
COME OUT FROM AMONGST THESE DECEIVERS. Be separate, REPENT! Cleanse
yourself of all unholiness and seek Jesus, and YOU will be a temple
of the Holy Spirit. You will not go to a filthy temple where they
have got temple whores and all types of unholiness, entertainment for
the flesh, but you yourself will be a temple of the Holy Spirit in
which Christ dwells. SEPARATE YOURSELF, COME OUT FROM AMONGST THEM
and BE a child of God.
Seek Jesus, follow Him, OBEY Him, KNOW
HIM FOR REAL and STAY WITH HIM, ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END. Many are
called but FEW are chosen, very few will go in through the NARROW
DOOR. Will YOU be one of them?
May Jesus bless you.

Give to God
Jesus came into this world to save, to
heal, to GIVE Himself as a ransom for many. He did not come into this
world to take anything out of it. He brought us salvation. He showed
His compassion to those who were poor, needy, sick and hungry.
If we are children of God and the
Spirit of Christ lives in us we will have that same attitude that was
in Jesus Christ. We will also rather GIVE than receive. We will GIVE
ourselves to this world and to Jesus, and to God our Father. We will
not be on the TAKE.
Many believers have open hands. They
just want to receive. They want salvation FREE, they just WANT and
WANT and WANT. If we have the Spirit of Christ in us we will be
givers. Jesus said it is more blessed to GIVE than to RECEIVE. If we
do not have anything to give we are POOR. If we don't have Jesus in
us to give to this world then we are the poorest of all men even
though we might be rich. Many believers are rich but inside they are
poor because they don't have Jesus, they don't have LOVE, they don't
have compassion. They maybe have money and earthly possessions but
they are poor and naked and blind because the love of Christ is not
inside of them.
If we have the love of Christ in us we
will be giving, love and adoration to Jesus our Master, and to God
our Father; we will give God the respect due to Him. We will give
Jesus who lives in us to the world around us. How much Jesus do we
have inside of us? How much are we giving of ourselves for the
Kingdom of God? Are we on the TAKE or are we giving, our time, our
resources? Are we giving of ourselves for the Kingdom of God? Because
if we don't GIVE we will not RECEIVE. If we want eternal life we
have to give ourselves to the Kingdom of God.
May Jesus bless you.

Cure violence, hatred, bullying, murder and FEAR
The world is dark with fear, hatred and animosity. There is no natural love. People don’t care to murder their own offspring in the womb. Children have no respect for parents. There is no respect for life. People don’t care for each other. We all know about criminality, the wickedness of mankind but how do you cure it? How do you stomp it out? More policing, more force? How do you stop bullies?
There is only one thing that changes a person and that is when Jesus comes into his heart because then He is changed inside. What is inside comes out. When you are born again from God then you love each other. You love your neighbor. You don’t discriminate against other people because the love of Christ has been poured out in your heart. Only Jesus can make that change inside of a person. The world is full of religion and religious fights, religious wars but only Jesus can make that change inside. T that is not religion, that is being born again from God, when the Spirit of God comes and lives inside of you. Because Jesus said hereby they will know that you are My disciples when you have LOVE for each other. Do you have Jesus inside? Do you have love inside? It’s not about what you receive, it is about what you give, because you can only give love if you have love to give.
Many people are rich, materially but they are poor because they have nothing to give. No love, no compassion. How much love and compassion, how much Jesus do we have inside of us?
May Jesus bless you.
Keep Knocking
Jesus said:”My sheep listen to My
voice and they follow Me.” Many believers do not know the voice of
Jesus, they have never heard Him and they are not following Him. The
reason why people do not hear the voice of Jesus is because they are
not seeking. If we seek Him, we find Him. If we knock the door is
opened to us, but we need to seek Him with all our heart. Where else
can we go?
On occasion when the disciples were
offended at Jesus and many of them left Him, then He said to the
twelve:”Do you not also want to leave me?” Peter said to
Him:”Lord, where shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”
Only Jesus has the words of eternal life. Only Jesus is the way and
the truth and the life. If we do not hear from Him we do not have
life in us. So if we want to hear from Him, we need to be knocking,
we need to be asking, we need to be seeking UNTIL the door opens,
UNTIL He answers us. We have got to pray and plead and seek Him
UNTIL He speaks to us and then we have got to stay with Him and keep
on listening and keep on following Him.
We need to KEEP ON KNOCKING UNTIL that
door opens. Where else can we go, only Jesus has the words of eternal
life.
May Jesus bless you.

Give it all up
If we are not willing to totally submit
our will to the will of God and DO His will, then we cannot be
children of God. If we are not willing to pray the Lord's prayer and
MEAN IT saying:”THY WILL BE DONE, THY KINGDOM COME,” then we
cannot be children of God. We need to make up our minds to TOTALLY
submit to the will of God and be UTTERLY OBEDIENT to Him or else we
cannot have salvation.
Salvation means to follow Jesus and to
be reconciled with God being brought into total obedience to God
through our relationship with Jesus. Jesus connects us with the
Father and He conveys to us the will of the Father through His Holy
Spirit that He makes to dwell inside of those who have decided to
SUBMIT THEMSELVES TO THE WILL OF GOD.
Jesus said:”If anyone wishes to come
after Me, let Him deny Himself, pick up his cross DAILY and follow
Me.” If we are not willing to give up everything, even our lives,
for Jesus and for the kingdom of God then we cannot be children of
God and we cannot have the hope of salvation. It is all about Jesus.
It is all about the will of God and it is all about the kingdom of
God.
Are we willing to UTTERLY submit to the
will of God and pray:”THY WILL BE DONE, THY KINGDOM COME?”
May Jesus bless you.

Brightly Shining
Jesus is the Light of the
world and He brought LIGHT into this darkness, this dark world, but
He also called us for a purpose, so that we shall be LIGHT. If the
light of Christ is in us then we will bring LIGHT wherever we go
because we will shine with the radiance of Jesus Christ who lives in
us.
The prophet Daniel said in
Daniel 12:3 “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of
the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars
for ever and ever.” That is our purpose, to shine the LIGHT of
Christ into darkness.
Jesus said in Matthew 5:14
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be
hidden; 15nor does anyone light a lamp and put it
under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who
are in the house. 16“Let your light shine before men in such a
way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is
in heaven.” Matthew 5:14. Jesus said that we will be His witnesses,
His LIGHT will be in us and we will light up this world.
The question is: HAS OUR
LIGHT SHONE BRIGHTLY TODAY? Did we shine the LIGHT of Christ? Did we
light up the world? DID WE SERVE OUR PURPOSE? Or did we fail? Do we
have any light in us? Because Jesus said:”If the light that is in
you is darkness, how great is not the darkness!” Matthew
6:23.
Did we shine the LIGHT of Christ into
this world today? Or are we darkness?
May Jesus bless you.

In hot pursuit
A person who is born again has made up his mind to turn his back on the world and to follow Jesus, to be pleasing to Jesus and to seek the Kingdom of God. He is not interested in the things of this world any more but his mind is set on Christ. He is following Jesus. If you decide to follow Jesus and you LOOK BACK, you look back to the things of the world and you crave the things of the world then you are not worthy of the Kingdom of God. You are not worthy of Jesus. We need to pursue Jesus every moment of our lives. He’s got to be on our mind. If we do not follow Jesus with all our POWER and if every living moment is not about Jesus and His Kingdom and pleasing Him then we won’t make it.
It is not an easy road. Only those who OVERCOME, who overcome the obstacles, the trials, the tribulations and endure until the very end, only they will win the prize of eternal life. If we are not ZEALOUS for the Kingdom of God. If we are not continually SEEKING JESUS, pursuing Him, pursuing righteousness, holiness, the will of God. Seeking to be fruitful we will not make it into the Kingdom of God. There is no easy way. You’ve got to PURSUE JESUS. You’ve got to go after Him with all your POWER. Your mind has to be on the Kingdom of God and building the Kingdom of God. Doing that which is pleasing in the sight of God. Having the APPROVAL of Jesus Christ all the time. If you don’t have that mind set you won’t make it. If you are still struggling with SIN, DISOBEDIENCE and you refuse to be baptized in water. You are NOT INTERESTED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD you are PLAYING GAMES. If you are still looking for SCRIPTURES to JUSTIFY your DISOBEDIENCE to GOD, you are PLAYING A GAME, you are NOT SERIOUS. You got to PURSUE JESUS with all your POWER and with all YOUR HEART or else you won’t make it. Make up your mind my friend, if you want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Take Jesus SERIOUSLY and pursue Him with all your power. May Jesus bless you.
Garments with the POWER of God
We must be careful what we touch and
what we bring into our homes because those things affect us. The
apostle Jude wrote (Jude 1:23) that we must not even touch the
garment that has been soiled by the flesh. On the other hand also,
clothing that was worn by the apostles was laid on sick people and
they recovered. The power of God worked through the clothing that was
once worn by the apostles.
We have been sending out these t-shirts
to people to use, to witness for Jesus and we are receiving back
reports of the effect of these t-shirts. We have received reports
that people that opened these t-shirts, that they started vomiting
and demons that were in them left them. These t-shirts have brought
healing but they have also brought conviction in some houses. If we
receive something from the hand of God then it has an effect on us.
If you receive one of these t-shirts from us you must know that the
power of God is going to work on you and in your house. You cannot
continue in sin, He will convict you and the judgment of God will
come on your house. You cannot just use that t-shirt as a cloth to
wash your car. The judgment of God will come on you, it belongs to
God, not to us and not to you. Be careful how you use it.
We have made some new t-shirts to
convict people of sin, righteousness and judgment. Here is a new one:
“Do you teach your children about Jesus or are you raising them for
hell?”, “YOUR CHILDREN ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY”, “Let the
little children come to Me and do not hinder them for the kingdom of
God belongs to such as these.”
The message of Jesus Christ is LIFE to
those who obey Him and judgment to those who reject Him. Will you
wear this t-shirt? Will you be a witness for Jesus? Will you touch
this garment, (holding up a t-shirt) and know that the Spirit of God
has touched you and will have an effect on your life in days to come?
If you want one of these t-shirts you
are welcome to contact us, my details are at the end of this video
and the link is also in the description box below this video. We need
to be touched by God and we ourselves who have the Spirit of God
living in us, need to touch this world because this world is sick
and it needs healing. We need to be vessels of the Spirit of God. Are
you willing to be a vessel for the Holy Spirit of God or will you be
used by the enemy?
May Jesus bless you.

Why believers fail
There are many reasons why believers
fail in their walk with Jesus but there is one very big cause of
failure and that is that they underestimate God. They underestimate
the power of God and they also underestimate the enemy, the devil.
They trust in themselves and that is why they fail.
Jesus said:”Without Me, you can do
nothing.” If we underestimate God we trust in ourselves and we
fail. If we underestimate the enemy and his cunning then he deceives
us because we trust him and then we also fail.
It is all about our trust in Jesus
because He is not limited by our capabilities and our abilities, by
our means and by our wisdom. God is unlimited, but if we ignore Him
and trust in ourselves then we have no defense against the devil and
we are bound to fail.
We must trust Jesus fully and FOLLOW
Him because without faith it is impossible to please God. Without
faith in Jesus and utterly trusting Him we will not FOLLOW Him and we
will certainly fail, we will not make it into the kingdom of heaven.
Without Jesus we can do nothing.
May Jesus bless you.

Churchism - Highway to HELL
Churchism is the highway to hell. It is
the broad road to destruction and many are on it. Many people belong
to churches but they do not belong to Jesus, they are not born again,
they are not children of God.
You cannot enter the kingdom of heaven
if you are not born again of water and of the Spirit of God, You
need to be a new man, born of God, with the Spirit of Christ living
in you. You need to be changed, regenerated inside, become a new man
with new interests, interest in the kingdom of heaven, in being
pleasing to God, in being righteous and holy.
Many people go to church and belong to
churches because they believe that it gives them some security for
eternity but they don't know Jesus. Fellowship with other people is
not fellowship with God. If you are not in fellowship with Jesus then
you are LOST. If you are not DOING His will then you are LOST. If you
are not following Him and obeying Him you do not belong to Him. Are
you following Jesus? Do you have a real relationship with Jesus or
are you on the broad road of churchism, Methodism, Mormonism,
Catholicism, all those isms will take you to hell because that is the
broad road to hell. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Are you
following Him and does Jesus know YOU? Are YOU pleasing to Jesus all
the time? He will say to many in that day:”Go away I never knew
you.” What will Jesus say to you? Does Jesus know you and will He
allow you through that narrow door into the kingdom of heaven?
Jesus said:”Straight is the gate and
narrow is the door that leads to life and few there be that find it.
Many will try hard but not be able.” Are you trying hard to enter
the narrow gate?
May Jesus bless you.

Light drives out darkness
Light drives out darkness. If we have a problem with mean people and bad people around us then it is because we do not have light in us. If the light of Christ is shining in us then the darkness in this world will not overcome us but we will overcome by the light of Christ that dwells in us.
I recall when we moved into an apartment in Baltimore some years ago. We were living in mean street amongst mean people. But then when the Lord called us we started testifying and shining our light. We had a problem with mean neighbors but when we started testifying then the devil started running. The bad neighbors moved out and when I came out of the door then suddenly the street cleared.
Dear friend, if the light of Christ is in us then the darkness will not overwhelmed us. How much light do we have in us?
May Jesus bless you.

Busy Believers
Many believers are very busy people but
unfortunately they are unfruitful because they are busy with the
wrong things. Instead of following Jesus and doing what is pleasing
to Him they are busy with unfruitful things; they are judging other
people, they are criticizing, they are meddlers, they are gossips,
slanderers, they are so busy living their life and doing what they
want to do that they don't have time to follow Jesus. They don't have
time to pray, they don't have time to listen to Jesus, they don't
have time to spend with Jesus and that is why they will be extremely
disappointed in the judgment day when Jesus says to them:”Go away I
never knew you.” They never had time to serve the King. They were
too busy following their own mind and doing things their own way.
Jesus said:”Without Me, you can do
nothing.”
We need to closely follow Jesus to be
pleasing to Him.
May Jesus bless you.

OBEY Jesus or you will PERISH
The world is full of churches and religious people who BELIEVE that because they adhere to the teachings of their CHURCH and they belong to a church that they have eternal life, but they do not OBEY JESUS. If we do not obey Jesus, we will not see life and we do not have life. As Jesus also said, I read from Mark 7:6,7 “And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 7‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
Believing like your grandfather did and like your father did, cannot save you. It is the Words of Jesus that will save us if we OBEY them. The Gospel that saves is the Words of Jesus. Jesus said: I read from Luke 6:46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and DO NOT WHAT I SAY? Many people hold on to the doctrines of their church and onto what THEY BELIEVE, the way that THEY READ THE BIBLE but they DO NOT OBEY JESUS. Many people refuse to be BAPTIZED IN WATER. Jesus will NOT EXCUSE ANY DISOBEDINECE. Jesus also said: I read from Mark 16:15,16 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 “He who has believed and HAS BEEN BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.” You need to be baptized AFTER you have BELIEVED and REPENTED in OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST or else that baptism is of no value. We need to OBEY JESUS utterly if we want to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. There will be NO EXCEPTION. We will be judged by the WORDS OF JESUS. As He also said: and I read from John 12:47-50 “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. 49 “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” The Words of JESUS are the Words of Life, no other words. They are eternal life for those who OBEY them. Those who DISOBEY the Words of Jesus will not have life.
If we want eternal life, if we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must UTTERLY OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS. The Words of Jesus were recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John. Those are the Words of Life, and those are the Words by which we will be judged. DO NOT DISREGARD the WORDS OF JESUS. You will regret it for eternity. OBEY JESUS and LIVE. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. His Words are eternal life for those who OBEY them and those who DISREGARD them will perish.
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus is calling YOU
Jesus is calling you to be a child of God, to be part of the Kingdom of God and to have eternal life. He is not calling you to be a church member or to be a member of some group or clan. NO! He is calling you unto life, eternal life.
But you can only have eternal life if you are born again, born again of the Spirit of God and only Jesus can give you that new birth that you are new inside. He can make you a child of God, if you follow Him, if you repent, turn away from serving yourself and sin, and you turn to Jesus and you accept Him as your Lord, your King your Master. He will give you the new birth. He will make you a child of God. He will forgive your past sins and give you a new clean slate, a new beginning. You must be baptized in water for the washing off of your sins and then He will give you the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is the first fruit of the inheritance of the children of God. He will give you His seal, like an engagement ring the prove that He has accepted you. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and give you a new tongue by which you can speak to God the Father, that is your proof, the first fruits of your inheritance as a child of God and then, if you follow Him, He will baptize you with FIRE, He will TEST you and TRY you, He will CLEANSE you, He will TEACH you OBEDIENCE and if you ENDURE you will become a servant of the Kingdom of God, constantly led by the Holy Spirit that lives in you. You will be able to hear God and do what He tells you to do.
If you endure until the very end of your life then you will have the prize of eternal life. You will never die. When you leave this body you will move on into the Kingdom of God but that is only IF you FOLLOW JESUS and you ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END.
The choice is yours, whether you want to carry on and live your life, do what pleases you and in the end you perish, or you can make up your mind to turn around, to turn to Jesus and follow Him until the very end. The decision is yours, you have to decide whether you want to follow Jesus. It is not going to be easy but if you endure until the end, you will have eternal life.
If you have made up your mind that you want to follow Jesus, then you need to go on your knees and cry out to Him, ask Him to accept you as a child of God to make you new, to give you the new birth. He will forgive your past sins and He will give you a new beginning. He will give you peace and joy like you have never experienced in your life. You need to pray, keep on praying UNTIL the light breaks through, UNTIL you KNOW that Jesus has come into your life, you will be changed in a MOMENT and THEN? You must OBEY HIM. REPENT of everything that is wrong and live your life to please Him. Be baptized in water. Your relationship with Jesus starts on your knees, praying and that is how your relationship will be forever, PRAYING. It is a communication with Him, constantly. He will reveal Himself to you if you are serious with Him. He will guide you, He will teach you. It won’t be easy, but if you endure until the end, you will have eternal life. You will know Jesus, you will be approved us a child of God. You will be proven to be worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because you have walked the walk with Jesus.
Do you want to carry on as you are or do you want to follow Jesus? You want to keep on wasting your life or do you want to have hope and purpose, following Jesus. It is up to you, to make up your mind whether you want eternal life, whether you want to follow Jesus? Don’t wait to long, the door might close on you. We don’t know how long we will live or when we will die, it could be today. Don’t wait to long.
I want to sing you a song and I pray that it touches your heart.
Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish.
As I walk down the pathway of life.
Turn around, turn around, the Lord is calling.
He’s calling you from a life of wasted years.
Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish.
As I walk down the pathway of life.
Turn around, turn around, the Lord is calling,
He’s calling you from a life of wasted years.
Don’t wait to long.
May Jesus bless you.

Who are you working for?
Many people will confess to believe in
Jesus but very few will obey Jesus and will serve Him as Lord and
Master. Very few will work for Him. Jesus said that you must be born
again to enter the kingdom of heaven. If you are born again then you
find the King, the Lord and you serve Him.
Jesus said:”Seek ye first the kingdom
of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added
unto you.” People will believe in Jesus but they will not get into
that close relationship with Him where they are led by the Spirit of
God, by the Spirit of Christ that dwells in them. So who are they
serving? Who are they working for? They are working for the things of
this world. They are working for recognition. They are working for
themselves, some are working for the devil, they are busy with evil
works. But God will reward each one of us according to our deeds. We
are called to work for the kingdom of God as servants of His kingdom.
If we sin we are a slave of sin. If we
please ourselves then Jesus is not our Lord, we are not working for
the kingdom of God, we are not part of His Kingdom. The question we
need to ask ourselves is: “Who am I working for?” For myself, for
gain for myself, recognition? Who do I want to please? Many people
will buy off their responsibility, they are willing to give 10% of
their income to church or to God. They are willing to make donations
but they are not willing to do what Jesus tells them to do, they are
not in that relationship. They are like a rich parent who gives his
child money just to get rid of him so that he himself can go on with
his life. A lot of people think that they can buy off God in the
same way. You cannot buy off Jesus. Either Jesus is Lord of your
life and you are a servant of the kingdom of God or you do not belong
to Him and you have no place in His Kingdom, you don't have
salvation.
It is about serving Jesus as Lord and
as Master. Who are we serving? Are you serving Jesus or are you
serving yourself?
May Jesus bless you.
From Within - Not Religion but REALITY
There is nothing that compares with
knowing Jesus for real, that Jesus LIVES in your heart and you know
Him as your King, your Lord and your Master, and you serve Him
because YOU WANT TO. That is why I am here, because Jesus came into
my life and He changed me. He made me a new man, He even gave me a
new name. He spoke to me one night, He said to me:”I have given you
a new name.” I said:”Lord, what is this name?” He
said:”Justice.” I couldn't believe it. The person that I was
“Jan” is not a person that I am proud of, He was a wicked and a
crooked person, but I was born again.
Jesus made me new, I am a new man, I am
in Christ. He has put His Spirit in me and He has given me hope. It
is not about me, it is about JESUS who lives in me and I am so glad
that I can give Him glory and honor.
I have got a song in my heart because I
know the King of kings and the Lord of lords and I KNOW that He is
pleased with me because I am walking in His ways. I have turned away
from the person that I was, I am born again. That person died when I
was born a gain and I am a new man in Christ, I am here to do His
will and I am here to testify to the glory of Jesus. I have got His
joy in my heart and I want to sing a few songs for you today to lift
you up and to give you a taste of the joy that Jesus Christ gives to
those who seek Him. May Jesus bless you as you listen to this song.
There's a new name written down in
glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine
And the white robed angels tell the
story
A sinner, has come home!
There's a new name written down in
glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine,
With my sins forgiven I am bound for
heaven,
Never more to roam.
There's a new name written down in
glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine
And the white robed angels tell the
story
A sinner, has come home!
There's a new name written down in
glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine,
With my sins forgiven I am bound for
heaven,
Never more to roam.
I want to stay with Jesus until the
every, very end.
He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives,
Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart!
He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives,
Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart!
May Jesus bless you.

This is the Judgment
Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life and He Himself came and showed us the Way to eternal life. He gave us the Words of Life, so that if we OBEY HIS WORDS we will have eternal life. Jesus came and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel of Eternal Life. And if we obey Him, we will have eternal life but if we disobey Him, then we will be judged and this is the judgment, the Words of Jesus in John 3:19 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their DEEDS were evil.20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his DEEDS will be exposed. 21“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” Jesus is the Light of the world and His Words are the Words of life. The judgment is if we disregard those words, if we disobey Jesus and we disregard Him. Then we are already judged. If we want to have eternal life we must OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS. Many believers do not understand that, they quote the Bible, the Scriptures and they seek eternal life in the Scriptures but eternal life is in OBEDIENCE TO the WORDS OF JESUS and those Words are recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John by those people, who were the eyewitnesses, who heard what Jesus said and who saw what He did. We will be judged by those Words of Jesus, by nothing else. Jesus said in John 12:47 “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; THE WORD I SPOKE IS WHAT WILL JUDGE HIM AT THE LAST DAY.” That is the judgment and on top of that, He has written His laws in our heart because Jesus said: Do onto others as you wish that they would do onto you. Nobody will have any excuse in the judgment day. We need to take heed to the Words of Jesus if we want eternal life or else we are already judged. Jesus IS the Light of the world. We need to come to Him and obey His Words to have eternal life. May Jesus bless you.
