THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT: “Thou shalt not kill.”

June 7 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT:  “Thou shalt not kill.” Exo. 20: 13; Deut. 5: 17; Matt. 5: 21,22, KJV.

O if only men would understand the spiritual magnification of this commandment (and the rest of the nine), the nation and mankind would not be suffering all the prejudice, racial hatred and killings hemorrhaging society today!

“Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and you know no murderer has life in him.” 1 John 3:15. “The spirit of hatred and revenge originated with Satan: and it led him to put to death [thru his combined Jewish and Roman agencies] the Son of God. Whoever cherishes MALICE or UNKINDNESS is cherishing the same spirit; and its fruit will be unto death. In the REVENGEFUL THOUGHT the evil deed lies enfolded, as the plant in the seed.” E. G. White, Mount of Blessing, p.89.

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.

THE “LITTLE FLOCK” IS GOD’S ARMY

March 23 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE “LITTLE FLOCK” IS GOD’S ARMY.

“Watch ye. stand fast in the faith, quit ye like men, be strong.” 1 Cor. 17:4, KJV (See 1!Sam. 4:9). “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee.” Isa. 60:3.

The Holy Spirit woke me up early this morning by these verses. Lest we forget, we are as it were, on the very borders of the eternal world. We are entering the last conflict for which we should have been training for all these long years. This is the time to manifest strength and courage amidst conflict and calamity. This is no longer boot-camp. We are facing live-fire. The confrontation between the “little David’s” versus the giant Goliaths in the actual field of battle is about to take place. By this time, we should, like David, have already left guarding the sheep in the pasture against wolves and stepped to the greater challenge of facing the giant Goliaths of the last days.

Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man: No Assurance in Anything Human or Earthly both of State and Church: Part I

Eroding Laws and Institutions of Man: No Assurance in Anything  Human or Earthly both of State and Church: Part I

What is currently unfolding in rapid-fire action before us, particularly with the state of affairs of the state and its three branches of government— executive, legislative and judicial and their respective institutions, legal, constitutional and traditional, in relation to the church and its religious institutions and powers—will impact and shape our immediate future and eternal destiny in ways most still haven’t yet imagined, figured out or have been fully warned of. (Fast forward: The work of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14, culminates in “enlightening the whole earth with knowledge of God’s glory” in the last invitation “to come out of her, My people” called the fourth angel of Revelation 18. God, through the Holy Spirit takes over the reins of the work of salvation in the promised latter rain. Then earth’s probation ends.)

THE NATURE OF THE PREP CLEANSING WORK ON EARTH

February 3, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE NATURE OF THE PREP CLEANSING WORK ON EARTH.  

“Having therefore these promises dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves of all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Cor. 7:1.

The testimony of Jesus says: “Again and again I have been shown that God is trying to lead us back, step by step, to His original design—that man should subsist upon the natural products of the earth.”

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

ONLY A NEW HEART CAN MAKE A NEW YEAR

December 30, 2019

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

ONLY A NEW HEART CAN MAKE A NEW YEAR.

“There is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, See, this new? It has already been in ancient times before us.” Eccl. 1: 9, 10.


     The only things that can be made brand new, inside out, according the only One who has and “creates/makes all things new” (Ps. 51:10; Eze. 11:19: 18: 30-32; 36: 26; Heb. 8: 9-13; 10: 16, 17), producing “the new creature/creation where old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17).

Here’s “the truth as it in Jesus”—“that we put off, concerning our former conduct, the old man, which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of our mind, that we put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and holiness” (Eph. 4: 17-24).

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHO IS THIS CHILD IN SWADDLING CLOTHES?
