THIS TIME, NO MORE TIME EXCUSES REMAIN

April 6, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THIS TIME, NO MORE TIME EXCUSES REMAIN. 

“Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast Thou made all men in vain? Ps. 89:47. “So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Ps. 90:12, KJV.

God gives, and takes away but only for our benefit and His glory. This corona virus is taking away a lot but is also “giving back,” depending on how you view it spiritually.

Many who have pleaded the excuse that they “just had no time” in their madhouse daily routine to study God’s Word briefly, much less in depth, just saw “Mr. Excuse” walk out of the door, slammed it shut, leaving them inside their homes alone with a long-ignored VIP guest named “Mr. Time.”

GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOU IS BY DESIGN, NOT DEFAULT

April 5, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOU IS BY DESIGN, NOT DEFAULT.

Good morning on this first working day, Sunday! Let me share with you thoughts that have emerged in my mind as I turn my eyes away from a world in turmoil and focus them on God’s Word, seeking for comfort, strength, wisdom and guidance.

Here’s a set of thoughts which I wrote down and entitled with the above:  “We are by design, not a mere default.”

How God Chose Gideon’s Elite Force of Three Hundred Men

How God Chose Gideon’s Elite Force of Three Hundred Men

   “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me.” Ezekiel 3: 17, vs 18-21; cf. 33: 1-20.

The gospel-prophet said: “His watchmen are blind, they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yes, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, everyone for his own gain, from his own territory.” Isa. 56: 10, 11, NKJV.

The counterfeit watchmen are the unfaithful, cowering, self-serving religious shepherds of the flock “who cannot understand,” spiritual guardians of the people, pastors, ministers who are not proclaiming God’s warning messages today. God further describes them as “dumb dogs that cannot bark,” “lazy and greedy dogs which never have enough.” If ever!

AS THE COVID-19 CRISIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE OF CONCERN SO WILL THE FINAL CRISIS.

April 1, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

AS THE COVID-19 CRISIS IS A GLOBAL ISSUE OF CONCERN SO WILL THE FINAL CRISIS.

“We are to be put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.” 1 Cor.4:9, Bible in Basic English.

There is a difference between “cure” and “solution” in the present context of this Covid-19 pandemic. If a cure is not quickly found but instead more calamities follow in its train, prophecy tells us what happens next: the final blame game is resorted to by those who themselves are responsible for causing them— as in the time of apostate king Ahab and Elijah. The ones who will be blamed are those faithful to God’s law, the Bible Sabbath in particular.

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS

Mar 29, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS. 

Happy first working day of this week! Time to get up from bed, pray, eat your breakfast of God’s Written Word and roll up your sleeves and get to work. Work? Yes? Whether at home or where mandated essential jobs or work places- the work described by our Savior and protective Shepherd of the flock as “work” or “occupy” yourself for the night cometh when man works no more.”’

Unchain Your Heart from Worry and Fear

Unchain Your Heart from Worry and Fear

    “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and a sound mind” (1 Tim. 1: 7).

“People are Afraid’: Sen. Kamala Harris on What the Government Should Do About the Coronavirus & Life in one of the Epicenters.”: Sean Neuman, People, March 23, 2020.

Dear fellow Bible-believing Christians. Be honest. Are you worried and fearful because of this mysterious sudden emergence as if from nowhere (the blame-game is on) of this novel (new) corona virus that rapidly evolved into a global pandemic overnight, as it were like no other known previous to it—catching all flat-footed, instantly revealing how proud and self-confident finite mortals are and yet how shamefully and clumsily unprepared they are to deal with the bigger and greater catastrophes, calamities and conflicts that will be played out in the biggest stage and theater of the world.

BEHOLD THE SUN NOT THE CLOUDS, THE ROSES NOT THE THORNS.

March 26, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

BEHOLD THE SUN NOT THE CLOUDS, THE ROSES NOT THE THORNS. 

  “But unto you that fear My name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.” Mal. 4:2. “We also have the prophetic word made sure, which you would 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.

The counterfeits Sun of righteousness is the “son of perdition,” the “man of sin”(2 Thess. 2:3)—symbols of Satan whose vicegerent on earth is the Antichrist, the papacy— who has a lot to do with what is taking the world by storm in this current covid-19 crisis, in case you don’t know or lost sight of in the manufactures excitement, panic, confusion and fear-mongering. It has been said that “Back of the clouds the sun is always shining.”  That is, behind and far higher than the dark, foreboding, glowering storm clouds is the steady bright sun, always shining, never dark. By nature, we tend to absorb what we gaze at and then bounce it off or reflect it on others as either a “savor of life unto life or death unto death”(2 Cor.2:15,16).

WALKING IN THE LIGHT BRINGS COURAGE

March 25 2020
MESSAGE FOR THE DAY:


WALKING IN THE LIGHT BRINGS COURAGE.

Good morning Daniels and Daniellas, servants of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you last night from the lions crowned as a terrible virus? (Dan.6:20). If we have been faithfully walking in the light of all the truths we have been learning, our joint answer should be just like faithful Daniel recorded in verses 21, 22.
