WISE OR FOOLISH VIRGINS?

February 5, 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WISE OR FOOLISH VIRGINS?

“Behold, The Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!” Matt. 25:6.— “The great controversy is nearing its end. Every report of calamity by sea or land is a testimony to the fact that the end to all things is at hand. Wars and rumors of wars declare it. Is there a Christian whose pulse does not beat faster as he anticipates the great events opening before us? The Lord is coming. We hear the footsteps of an approaching God.” OHC346. 

What/Who are the Foolish virgins? “The state of the CHURCH represented by the foolish virgins, is also spoken of as the Laodicean state.” 2RH420.

KOBE’S SUDDEN DEATH REMINDS US TO LIVE EACH DAY AS OUR TOMORROW

January 27 2020

KOBE’S SUDDEN DEATH REMINDS US TO LIVE EACH DAY AS OUR TOMORROW.

“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, but and sell and make profit, whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears a little time then vanished away.

Instead you ought to say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. But now you boast of your ignorance. All such boasting is evil.” James 4 :13-17, NKJV. — We are being reminded lest we forget or are deceived as to the uncertainty of the future outside and independent of Christ the Life-giver.

FAITHFULLY ENDURE TO THE END

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

January 22 2020

FAITHFULLY ENDURE TO THE END.

“As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man.” Matt. 24:27,28.

“He that endures to the end the same shall be saved.” Matt. 10:22.

“As Noah proclaimed his warning message, some listened, and worked with him in building the ark. But they did not endure. Evil influences prevailed. They turned away from the truth and became scoffers (2 Pet. 3:3). 

Thus it shall be in the last days of this earth’s history. Those who today hear the message of truth, but do not believe, will fall amid the MORAL infidelity, even as in Noah’s day those who were not FIRMLY grounded failed to stand till the end of their probation.

NEW GLORIES FROM GOD’S WORD DAILY

January 20 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

NEW GLORIES FROM GOD’S WORD DAILY.

“Let us know. Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning. He will come to us like the rain, like latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:2, NKJV.

— “In the Scriptures thousands of gems of truth lie hidden from the SURFACE seeker. The mine of truth is never exhausted. The more you search the Scriptures with humble hearts, the greater will be your interest, and the more you will feel like exclaiming with Paul ‘O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out.’

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” So, what is it?

Friday Morning Manna

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” So, what is it?

That’s in John 8: 36. It is a solemn thing to die but a much more solemn thing to be alive in these times in which we live in for the people identified in prophecy as “they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” and “have the Spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus.”

Rev. 14: 12; 19: 10.

    “Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. Coming events cast their shadows before. The Spirit of God is withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security? There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly are they waiting and watching the movements of their leaders

THREE SURPRISES IN HEAVEN IF WE GET THERE

January 8 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THREE SURPRISES IN HEAVEN IF WE GET THERE.

– “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” See Matt. 7:21-23 first. “

A Christian once said that when he reached heaven he expected to meet with three causes of wonder. (1) He would wonder to find some that he did not expect to be there.(2) He would wonder not to see some that he expected to meet, and lastly, he would wonder most to find so in worthy a sinner as himself in the Paradise of God.

The “Fullness of Time” Never Specified Specific Time

Friday Morning Manna

December 27, 2019
By Nathaniel Fajardo                                                                                                                                                           email:[email protected]

The “Fullness of Time” Never Specified Specific Time

      “But When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the [condemnation] of the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.”  

Gal. 4: 4, 5, N.K.J.V.

Sent forth by the Father, the only-begotten Son of God was “born of a woman” and became the Son of man “when the fullness of time had come,” not a “twinkling of an eye” earlier or later. As the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, He was the subject of the first and beginning of all promises and propheciesof the Bible, coming first as “the seed” (Gen. 3: 15) and at last, “the Lord Jesus,” “King of kings and Lord of lords” in His glorious second coming!

THE DIVINE POTTER MOLDS HUMAN CLAY INTO HIS IMAGE

December 4, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE DIVINE POTTER MOLDS HUMAN CLAY INTO HIS IMAGE. 

Ask yourself: Is it my way or God’s way that I am following. Here’s a vital part of the sealing work: Submiting our will to God, resisting the devil and his temptations, particularly the pesky, persistent besetting sins “that so easily ensnare us” (James 4:7; Rev.3:21; 1 Cor. 15:31; Luke 9:23; Heb 12:21). – “While the human agent is devising and planning for himself something that God has withheld him from doing, he has a hard time. He complains and frets, and has still more difficulties. But when he submits as clay in the hands of the potter, then God works the man into a vessel of honor (Rom. 9:21; 1 Thess. 4:4; 2 Tim. 2:21).
