  • THE UNDEFILED

    What we see, hear, speak, think, where we go, what we touch, and what we do can all defile our body, soul, and spirit.

    A stain on the soul and spirit causes us to be viewed as someone wearing filthy garments.

    Can we participate in the wedding wearing filthy garments?

    Being clothed in white means living a life like Christ.

    The Lord says only a few have kept their garments undefiled.

    Let’s strive to be among those chosen few.

    He offered Himself as a spotless, holy, and perfect Lamb so we could be worthy to dwell with Him.

  • CHARACTERISTICS OF TRUE PROPHETS

    The Prophet Ezekiel was a priest among the captives.

    God called him, revealed Himself, and commissioned him to be a prophet; his spiritual eyes were opened.

    “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).

    Yahweh appeared to him as fire, for the Father, the Almighty God, appears as fire.

    The LORD then revealed to him the characteristics of a prophet: a prophet must be as bold and courageous as a lion; humble, obedient to the Master, hardworking, sincere, and loyal as an ox; and vigilant like an eagle.

    When you humble yourself and pray, wherever you are, God will reveal Himself to you, bless you with the prophetic anointing, and ordain you as His prophet.

  • IGNORANT ATHEISTS AND INNOCENT AGNOSTICS

    Many scholars, scientists, philosophers, and mathematicians who deny the existence of God are considered the wisest among us. However, upon leaving their bodies, they will realize that God is the supreme Judge of every soul.

    The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God; pride blinds the eyes of agnostics and atheists. While agnostics question the existence of God, atheists do not believe in God. Conversely, astronauts who have been to space often become very spiritual, with some even becoming monks.

    Ignorant atheists and innocent agnostics, the time has come to seek the truth before you face the TRUTH.

  • RIGHTEOUSNESS & RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD

    “But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” (Isaiah 64:6).

    Association with the church or a minister of God will not save you.

    The righteous deeds of loved ones cannot save you from the terrible judgment.

    Every individual is accountable for their own actions.

    Only your personal righteousness and relationship with the LORD can save you.

    Let us lead a life pleasing to God and be righteous in His sight.

  • LOOK UNTO ME, O BACKSLIDING CHILDREN.

    Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart.

    “Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you” (Jeremiah 7:23).

    Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you.

    “Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet My people have forgotten Me days without number” (Jeremiah 2:32).

    The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

  • COME LORD JESUS

    “You will be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8).

    Let us deny ungodliness and worldly lusts.

    Live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world.

    And wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • MAUNDY THURSDAY

    “Even My own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate My bread, has lifted up his heel against Me” (Psalms 41:9).

    My children, this day I was betrayed by My own. Yes, My children whom I loved and cared for, betrayed Me. Those whom I fed and guided betrayed Me. I was put to shame. Though I loved and gave everything and revealed everything, they did not realize My love. They were not prepared to be vigilant for Me. Slumber was sweet for them when I was in agony.

    I came to do the will of My Father. Being obedient to My Father was much sweeter than the agony that was ahead. Doing the perfect will of My father is what I preferred. I submitted wholly to My Father’s will. The torture was unbearable, which I already knew. During the torment, I was very much in flesh. I was man and not God.

    First and foremost, I was wounded by the betrayal of Judas; later, the men who were close to Me fled from Me. They were with Me all through those three years, yet they left Me alone. They were also very much in the flesh and were tempted.

    To do the Father’s will, one should have strong willpower. One has to surrender wholly to Him. And be prepared to face anything and everything. I was not forsaken by My Father. He was with Me all through the suffering. He allowed it because it is written that I must die for the redemption of the sins of every man.

    Be brave like Me. Be courageous like Me. When you are prepared to do My Father’s will: nothing that is contrary will trouble you. My focus was on the mission, and I accomplished it.

    I submitted Myself as the Lamb of Sacrifice. When I came here, I knew that I was to be slaughtered as the Lamb of Sacrifice. I was crucified as the Eternal Sacrifice.

    When a lamb is slaughtered, it dies immediately. I was crucified. I was hanging on the cross for six hours.

    My children, I had to undergo this in order to save you. I suffered for you so that you need not and will not suffer. You are mine. I am thine.

    My children, I love you for you remember My agony and suffering. I understand that you feel it. My blessings are abundant on you.

    My children, I have conquered the evil. Be of good cheer.

    The Holy Spirit.

  • TEMPTATION

    The wind blows gently. There is a subtle silence. Floral fragrance around. The sun has almost set and the dusk has begun. Judas is alone. The tempter is by his side. His weakness is known. He hears the sweet gentle voice. He lends his ears and the devil moves into him and dwells in him.

    Judas, this world will know you.

    Judas, every mother will talk about you.

    Judas, your name will spread far and wide.

    Judas, you will be known till the end of this world.

    Judas, every writer will describe you.

    Judas, eyes have not seen, nor ears heard the things prepared for you.

    Judas, you will not lack anything.

    Judas, you will be like the olive tree.

    Judas, you are the candlestick, and you will sit beside me.

    Judas, you will be with me eternally.

    Judas, I am the king of this world, and you are my son.

    Do it!

    “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

    John Mark

  • THE SON OF MAN

    The Son of God became the Son of man so that the sons of man would become the sons of God.

    The Lord Jesus Christ, being God Almighty, was so humble that He did not regard equality with God, but came as the Son of God and addressed Himself as the Son of Man.

    He was fully divine and fully human in one person. He had all the feelings and attributes of human.

    “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously ; Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (Peter 2:21-24).

  • HONOUR YOUR FATHER & MOTHER

    Honour your father and mother. Take care of them when they are aged. They have sacrificed a lot in raising you. If you take care of them, your children will care for you when you are aged. It is the divine responsibility of every parent to care for their children, and for children to care for their parents when they are aged.

    Remember the countless hours your dad worked hard to bring you gifts, the hands that fed and embraced you—but now he has become a stranger to you.

    Your mum has done everything for you: she dressed you, cooked food for you, packed your lunch, and fasted and prayed for you. But now, she is an alien to you.

    Once you began earning a little money, you felt on top of the world and started hurting and abusing your loving parents. You then left home, leaving them in tears.

    If you cannot love your parents who are in front of you, how will you love the Father whom you have not seen?

    God will judge you.

    “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37).

    Many people leave their parents in an old age home. Will God not judge such a cruel and unloving heart?

    Love your parents, and take care of all their needs in their old age. Remember all that they have done for you. Speak to them, dine with them, care for them, and love them. If you hurt and mistreat your aged parents, tomorrow, your children will do the same to you. Do not hurt them with your words or gestures; they need your love. Express your love to them today; tomorrow, you might regret it, for life is like a vapor.
