Features, outfits, wealth, and bank accounts do not make a person a prophet, seer, apostle, evangelist, pastor, or teacher.
What comes out of his mouth says who he is.
Our God is all-holy and all-perfect; He will not reveal Himself to tainted, sinful hearts.
We have to see our God. We have to see our Father. We have to know Him.
We have to know that which we have not known. Knowing the Unknown is what we should know.
The number of times one has been in the spirit, visited the Throne Room of God, and spoken to God the Almighty face to face makes him a true man of God.
“And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:8,9,10,11).
Let us be obedient to our calling and ministry, just as the Lord Jesus Christ was obedient to the Father, doing His perfect will.
Judas betrayed Him once and nailed Him to the cross. We have been betraying Him every day and crucifying Him constantly. He weeps because we have turned from Him. He weeps because we no longer look at Him. He weeps, for we are engrossed with this sinful world and have shown the least interest in Him.
When we taste sin, we scourge Him. When we look at sin, we pierce Him. He weeps that His children have betrayed Him. He weeps that His children have gone far away from Him. Every time we sin, He bleeds.
You have gone to the place you shouldn’t have gone, His legs are bleeding, and He weeps. You have committed sin with your hands, therefore His hands are bleeding and He weeps.
Every now and then we keep whipping Him, lashing at Him, slapping Him, and piercing Him. He weeps.
“My children, My children, lo, I give myself to you” The Lord Jesus Christ.
Treat every woman with honor and respect. Help them if they are in need. Consider them as your own mother or sister. If you help or serve them with purity, someday when your own mother or sister needs help, God will provide them with the necessary support.
“I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire” ( Matthew 3:11).
Lord Jesus Christ was baptized by water and by the Holy Spirit. Since we follow Him, we must be baptized by both water and His Spirit. By the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we become one with Him.
“Jesus answered, truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” ( John 3:5).
Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.
God tests the heart. He is always pleased with the integrity. He tests us and refines us like the silver. He knows the way that we take. When He tests us, we will have to come forth as gold.
This world cannot help us during the trials and temptations.
God will surely test us before He could bless us. If we overcome all the trials and temptations, then we will be commissioned for the mission.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST hung on the cross alone. It pleased the FATHER, for He was offered as the sin offering. He stamped death, hell, and Satan on that cruel cross.
He accomplished it in such a way that every knee bows to His Name and Hell trembles and fears.
Our LORD JESUS CHRIST has chosen us before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
The Lord seeks our hearts. He wants to cleanse all uncleanness from the humble soul. He does not dwell in altars of gold and brazen metal; we are His altars. We are His sanctuary, and our hearts are His dwelling place. Let us follow the Lord Jesus Christ in holiness and righteousness. Though we are not free to worship in this evil world and persecution is everywhere, we remain His.
Our Lord Yahweh descends into the prison and the palace, the dungeon and the deserts.
God seeks your heart, not your church. Your heart is His sanctuary. As you humble yourself before the Great Yahweh, He will make way for Himself in your heart, rooting out the uncleanness, making it a holy and perfect place to dwell.
None of us is holy and perfect. He makes our hearts holy and perfect so He can dwell in us.
Following the Lord Jesus Christ is being obedient to Him in following the Word of God and His Commandments.
Your soul alone will stand before the Lord Jesus Christ for judgment, not the church, not your community, and not your family.
Only you—yes, only you—will face the Almighty, All-Powerful King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. The God above all. He is mighty and terrible. He is magnificent. His throne extends to an infinite height. Imagine His greatness and His features. He is the Consuming Fire.
Are you prepared to face Him?
His holiness makes us tremble. Follow Him.
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” (Col 3:17).
”For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s” (Romans 14:8).
