CHRIST THE LAW-GIVER MAGNIFIES HIS LAW IN HIS GOSPEL

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

CHRIST THE LAW-GIVER MAGNIFIES HIS LAW IN HIS GOSPEL

“The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify His law and make it honorable.” Isa.42:21.

The gospel-prophet prophesied that central to Christ’s mission and work on earth as the Messiah, was to magnify His law that was transgressed by His backsliding people, trampled upon by apostates and corrupted by the wicked.

How did God give His law? Only after the grand and awful preparation for it, in silence.

What Have We Learned Thus Far from the Divine Teacher?

What Have We Learned Thus Far from the Divine Teacher?

“God is to be exalted by His power; who teaches like Him? Job 36: 22, K.J.V.

Jesus, the great I AM, is “the Teacher sent from God’ (John 3: 2). He is the “Prophet” prophesied by Moses to come “from among His people.” Deut. 18: 15, 18. (See also Acts 3: 22; 7: 37). Christ began teaching and instructing from the very beginning. 

Before incarnating 4,000 years after the fall in “the great mystery of godliness that God was manifest in the flesh” (2 Tim. 3: 16), partaking of the “flesh and blood”  human nature that had no preexistence in His existence as the great I AM, He was already the Teacher and Instructor of the His very first students, Adam and Eve, the father and mother of mankind.

MEEKLY WAIT AND MURMUR NOT

May 4, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

MEEKLY WAIT AND MURMUR NOT

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” Isa. 40:31, KJV (See verses 26-31).

The reason why our failing strength is not renewed or replenished is because we don’t wait upon the Lord, and therefore we do not have the “patience of the saints” who truly wait with long endurance. As Jesus Himself said, “He that endureth to the end the same shall be saved.” (Look that up in your Bible).

WE DESPERATELY NEED GENUINE GRACE IN THIS COVID-19 MOMENTOUS MOMENT

May 3, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WE DESPERATELY NEED GENUINE GRACE IN THIS COVID-19 MOMENTOUS MOMENT

Good first working day morning of this week! Time to roll-up the sleeves of our mind. Check its spiritual oil dipstick first and see to makes sure you have enough oil of the Holy Spirit before starting its engines! Failure to do this has wrecked too many “brand new” Christian “character” cars. It lacks the “lubricating” power and properties of the Holy Spirit!

Let’s prayerfully and humbly turn to Jesus, the light, life, peace, wisdom and healer of our souls as He reveals Himself in the Written Word and ask Him what GRACE IS FOR.

God is Speaking. Do You Know Recognize His ‘Voice’?

God is Speaking. Do You Know Recognize His ‘Voice’?

    Jesus said: “My sheep know My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10: 27.

And He continues:“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them [His lamb and sheep], is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hands. I and My Father are one.” verses 28, 29.

In these short verses alone, God in Christ, through the Holy Spirit in the written and spoken Word, is speaking volumes of present, testing truth to two classes of people in this moment of earth-time in the vicinity of the prophesied startling closing events leading to the end of earth’s six-thousand-year probation. Jesus was born four thousand years after the fall. We are now “living and moving and have our being” (Acts 17: 28) in the year 2020.

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH FIRE

April 30, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH FIRE

Good Thursday morning! I was led back last night to the precious subject of the Holy Spirit, who is slowly withdrawing from the earth, as evidenced by the continuous train of calamities quickly following one another to the global covid-19 pandemic.

Let us therefore humbly and prayerfully ponder upon the following:

“The Relationship of Calvary and Pentecost.”

“The baptism of the Holy Spirit is described by John the Baptist to the the ESSENTIAL, VITAL purpose of the ministry of Jesus Christ. 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.” Matt. 3:11 (See also John 1:33.

WE ARE STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE CRISIS OF THE AGES

April 27, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WE ARE STANDING ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE CRISIS OF THE AGES. 

“Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isa. 26: 21, KJV.

God’s Message for His people today:

“Satan is now using every device in this SEALING TIME to keep the minds of God’s people from the present truth, and to cause them to waver. I saw a COVERING that God was drawing over His people to protect them in the time of trouble; and every soul that was decided on the truth, and was pure in heart, was to be covered with the covering of the Almighty. Satan knew this, and he is at work with mighty power to keep the minds of as many people as he possibly could, wavering and unsettled in the truth… I saw Satan at work… to distract, deceive and draw away God’s people, just now in this SEALING TIME.

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.
