CAIN-LIKE OR ABEL-LIKE WORSHIPPERS?

April 28, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

CAIN-LIKE OR ABEL-LIKE WORSHIPPERS? 

See Genesis 4: 1-26.

Not all who say “Lord, Lord” are recognized by Him in their judgment, and not all who worship God have their worship accepted by Him. That’s the life-and-death lesson and test much greater than what we are experiencing now in the covid-19 global pandemic.

“Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam, differed widely in character.  “Abel had a spirit of loyalty to God; he saw justice and mercy in the Creator’s dealings with the fallen race, and gratefully accepted the hope of redemption.

IGNORANCE OF GOD’S WORD IS SIN

April 26, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

IGNORANCE OF GOD’S WORD IS SIN. 

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Prov.16:25, KJV.

Good morning on this first working day of this week, four months now grappling with this covid-19 global pandemic with no certain path forward for the rest of the world, but not for those who have been diligently storing God’s Word in their minds.

We should be alarmed and afraid, not of being infected and dying of the corona virus but of committing the sin of negligence that results in the sin of ignorance of God’s Word! Observe:
“
The truth and the glory of God are inseparable; it is impossible for us, with the Bible within our reach, to honor God by erroneous opinions. Many claim that it matters not what one believes, if his life is only right.

SEALING TIME WILL NOT LAST LONGER

April 24, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

SEALING TIME WILL NOT LAST LONGER

“I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels…saying,hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.” Rev. 7:2,3,KJV.

The sealing, preparation for the latter rain, loud cry, mark of the beast test and the close of probation occurs simultaneously with the pre-advent judgment taking place in the most holy in heaven. Our lives are passing in review right now.

THE SECRET OF UNANSWERED PRAYER

April 20, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SECRET OF UNANSWERED PRAYER

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matt. 26:41, KJV.

Yes, you read it right. As there is a secret and a divine science to answered prayer, there is also a secret for the exact opposite!

But who in the world of praying Christians would ever want to know this “secret” at all? It is so counterintuitive you may say.  But of course.

NO VICTORY WITHOUT SUBMISSION & CO-OPERATION WITH CHRIST

April 19, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR ‘S DESK:

NO VICTORY WITHOUT SUBMISSION & CO-OPERATION WITH CHRIST

Good morning on the 31st day since our state’s governor declared a lock-down as a major mitigation strategy against the covid-19 enemy.

It’s for you to assess as to where tide is turning. Everyone has his own take and only time will tell if their hunches and determinations were sound or unsound.

Remember the first day of the Creator’s week, is today which the world, not the Bible calls Sunday, for that was what it really was, the day dedicated to the sun, an inanimate body to “rule the day.”

OUR SALVATION & JUDGMENT IS MUCH NEARER THAN WE FIRST BECAME BELIEVERS

April 16, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

OUR SALVATION & JUDGMENT IS MUCH NEARER THAN WE FIRST BECAME BELIEVERS. 

“And that knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than we [first] believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put in the armor of light. Let us walk [live] honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering [feasting/partying] and wanton was, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to fulfill the lusts thereof.” Rom. 13:11-14,KJV.

“We are living in the most solemn period of this earth’s history. The destiny of earth’s teeming multitudes is about to be decided. Our own future well-being and also the salvation of other souls depends upon the course which we NOW pursue. We need to be guided by the Spirit of God [not by our feelings nor what the majority says]. Every follower of Christ should earnestly inquire, ‘Lord, What wilt Thou have me to do?’

THE ONLY TIME THE SUN & MOON STOOD STILL

April 14, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ONLY TIME THE SUN & MOON STOOD STILL.

“Then Joshua….said in the sight of Israel, ‘Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon in the valley of Ajalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven; and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel.” Joshua 10:12-14,NKJV.

This incredible GLOBAL miracle when earth time literally stood still for a day, was a one-and-done occurrence by fiat and divine edict. Thus, neither the sun nor the moon, which regulate earth time, does not and will not ever stand still again.

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

April 9, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

“We also have the prophetic word made more sure, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet. 1:19, NKJV

Just like yesterday’s question, what would Jesus say, do and act if He were in my shoes today? Which I know some are still working on, recalling past experiences in trust and deliverance from lesser-sized crisis than this corona virus crisis, we need to ask ourselves this pivotal question:
