Who is Jesus and What is the Truth about Christ?

Who is Jesus and What is the Truth about Christ?

Jesus is not an incarnate of the Almighty GOD as speculated by the false teachers. They blasphemed against the LORD. So, who is Jesus? The response is not ambiguous; Jesus referred to GOD as His Father in His speech and in more than two occasions the LORD announced Jesus Christ publicly as His Son. So, how could you believe the false teaching of the incarnation or holy trinity?

Today’s sermon about ‘who is Jesus’ is a sensitive one which the Devil uses to mislead people, but I would share the truth about Jesus Christ with you through the authority of the LORD upon me.

In one of the great visions the LORD revealed to me to preach to the world about the Final Judgement;

“I saw two groups with their respective leader in the front. GOD in His Majesty said to the group on the left: “The Devil has been doing bad so he is judged to the lake of fire”. Instantly, the Devil and his members were handcuffed automatically, shaking their bowed heads in sorrow and hopelessness.

The LORD spoke to the group on the right and said: “Jesus has been doing good so He is Victorious”. There was a great immeasurable Joy, dancing, clapping and songs of victory in the midst of Jesus and his members.”

The vision I narrated above shows that Jesus is not equal to the LORD and it emphasizes the scriptural facts that Jesus is a servant of GOD and the LORD would forever be His Master.

Jesus says: “You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28)

When Was Jesus Born?

Jesus’ date of birth was not mentioned in the Bible, but most biblical scholars assume a year of birth between 6 and 4 BC. Note that the birthday of Jesus is not the Christmas day. 25th of December is a day for idolatrous festival which the papacy thought fixing the same day as Christmas celebration could attract the idol worshippers to the church. So, no record is available to tell us the exact day Jesus was born!

Where Was Jesus’ Place of Birth?

The book of Luke chapter 2 states that Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea. And he grew up in Nazareth of Galilee so, Jesus was a Galilean.

What Are Names of Jesus?

“Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.”

“He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.”” (Luke 1:30-32)

The LORD also announced Jesus’ identity to the people as recorded in the book of Matthew chapter 3 verse 16 and 17: “When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; … And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying,This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Yeshua is Jesus’ name in Hebrew (which means “the Lord is salvation.”) and the Greek transliteration of Yeshua was Iesous, and was transliterated into Latin as Iesus and later became the English name, Jesus.

What is the Difference Between Jesus and Christ?

Christ was not originally a name but a title derived from the Greek word χριστός (chrīstós), which translates to the Hebrew term meshiah and English as Messiah, meaning “the anointed one”.

So, ‘Christ’ qualifies the name of Jesus as the Anointed Messiah sent for our salvation.

Who is the Father of Jesus Christ?

The only One without an explicit origin is GOD and when you ask who is Jesus, it is important to know His Father. And, Jesus told us several times that His Father is no one other than Jehovah, the Almighty GOD in Heaven.

Jesus never mentioned Joseph as His Father (because Joseph was a caretaker) and He refused to celebrate Mary as His mother because she was a ‘vessel’. So, beware of churches that celebrate ‘Mary – mother of Jesus’.

Listen to Jesus in this bible reference: “Then one said to Him, “Look, your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You… And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12:46-50)

Does Jesus Have a Wife?

If there are four different books about the events of Jesus Christ when on earth and none mentioned Jesus’ wife then it would be wrong for you to believe anyone coming up with a conspiracy after 2000 years.

I felt bad when I heard about the book written by Simcha and Barrie.  And I knew it’s all about the effort of the devil to distract us with unnecessary argument.

When Matthew was mentioning the women ministering to Jesus in Matthew chapter 27 verse 56, he did not mention anyone as Jesus’ wife. So, why should you believe the book of someone or a group of people who were not there when Jesus was on earth?

Prophecy that Proves that Jesus is the Messiah

I would love to make reference to the prophecy of prophet Isaiah read by Jesus in the synagogue:

“And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written:

“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”” (Luke 4:17-21, Isaiah 61:1)

7 Major Mission of Jesus Christ to the World?

1. To change our old orientation about life.

2. The saviour who teaches us the best lifestyle to live.

3. To show us God’s passion and love for our salvation.

4. Paid the last sacrifice for cleansing the sins of all sinners.

5. Reconcile our relationship with the LORD.

6. Destruction of Devil’s bondage in our lives.

7. Manifest the Power of Resurrection for us to gain eternal life in Heaven.

Praise God-Hallelujah!

I believe today’s sermon explains who is Jesus and his role on earth. So, don’t be deceived by the evil conspiracy of the holy trinity in the church.

In every sacrificial rite there is a giver and a receiver, I want you to always ask those false teachers that; “who accepts the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross if GOD who ought to be the receiver is the ‘sacrificial lamb’?

Jesus specifically tells us His status and functions which are absolutely different from the LORD. Read the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible for more understanding.

I implore you to obey the teachings of Jesus Christ because the only way to enjoy eternal heaven is to stay firm in a steady relationship with the Almighty LORD.

12 Things to Know About Speaking in Tongues!

12 Things to Know About Speaking in Tongues!

To know about speaking in tongues is like acquiring a knowledge that tends towards infinity. Have you been side-lined in the church because you can’t speak in tongues? Are you confused about the subject matter? Or you are getting frustrated about Christianity because of this spiritual gift? Don’t worry!

Today’s sermon would clear the confusion and open your mind to understand the cogent facts to know about speaking in tongues.

What is Speaking in Tongues?

Speaking in tongues can be a temporary sign used by God upon you to show the unbelievers that you are from the LORD. It can also be a spiritual gift which has a permanent tendency in you to speak an untaught foreign language.

Controversy About Gift of Tongues

Many false teachings are everywhere about the gift of speaking in tongues and I am also careful not to contribute to the heresies online.

Every word I share with you today is based on the sincere content and context of the subject matter in the Bible coupled with my non-conflicting personal experience with the LORD.    

Note the following truth:

1. Speaking in tongues is solely controlled by the Spirit of the LORD.

2. There is nothing like meaningless language; you either speak an earthly meaningful language or heavenly one interpreted for you by the Holy Spirit. Don’t forget that the source of language starts from heaven. QUOTE Tower of Babel

3. If you speak and there is neither a human interpreter nor the divine Interpreter, it is wise to shut up so you won’t run into brain trouble.

4. It is absolutely wrong and ungodly to go learn ‘speaking in tongues’ in a school of theology or under the supervision of anyone.

5. The LORD chooses who would posses the gift, so it is not a mandatory ticket for everyone. However, it is not a factor for your entry into heaven.

12 Revelations to Know About Speaking in Tongues

1. The speaking in tongues on the day of Pentecost were real languages of some tribes.

“Then they were all amazed and marvelled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born?”” (Act 2:7-8)

2. Speaking in tongues is a sign from the LORD, you can’t acquire it through the church doctrine or School of theology.

“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.” (Mark 16:17)

3. None of the disciples of Jesus who experienced the Day of Pentecost made a sermon for compulsory “speaking in tongue”.

4. Paul mentioned another dimension of speaking in tongues which Apostle Peter referred to as confusing.

Paul says: “For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” (First Corinthians 14:2)

Apostle Peter referred to Paul’s statement: “as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.” (Second Peter 3:16)

5. I authoritatively share with you that Devil hears speaking in tongues, so don’t be deceived!

6. There are many false teachings about this topic, so don’t be desperate about this spiritual gift.

7. Speak in tongues is NOT the mandatory sign to show spiritual baptism. Many occurrences of spirit-filling without speaking in tongues were recorded. Please read: Act chapter 2:37-42; 8:26-40; 9:1-19; 13:44-52; 16:11-15; 16:25-34; 17:1-10a; 17:10b-15; 17:16-33; 18:1-11; and Act chapter 18:24-28

8. This spiritual gift is not a supremacy to others. Read First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 7 to 11.

9. It is an act of disorderliness when everyone is speaking in tongues in the church without any interpreter. (First Corinthians 14:26-29)

10. Paul’s wish is for everyone to speak in tongues and that is not God’s commandment. (First Corinthians 14:5)

11. When the Holy Spirit controls your private fellowship to the Lord, it is possible your tongue switches from the language you know to an unknown one. I experienced such, it is real! (First Corinthians 14:2)

12. Speaking in tongues was the first sign proving the evidence of Spirit-filled but it was not the only sign approved by the LORD.

It is obvious to know about speaking in tongues that it is utterance given by the LORD and not through learning a language sequence or saying rubbish. It is good to note that no misconception of Paul’s statement shall justify the bastardized model of speaking in tongues in our generation.

I speak in tongues and can interpret as well but I dear not abuse the gift if there is no inspiration from the Holy Spirit.

I encourage you to be focused in the LORD and appreciate the spiritual gift He gives to you. Please, don’t be desperate to speak in tongues because it might put you in more spiritual and psychological troubles you don’t deserve.

What Must I Do to be Saved? 12 Steps to Your Salvation!

What Must I Do to be Saved? 12 Steps to Your Salvation!

Question such as; what must I do to be saved? Comes to your heart when you get to a cross road and realized the need for a saviour. The good news is that there is Someone waiting to receive you for your perfect deliverance and His name is Jesus Christ.

Today’s message expresses the steps to take for you to be saved from bondage of sin and eternal punishment.

12 Major Steps You Must Do to be Saved

1. Self-realization that you need a Saviour and no more blind arguments.

2. Believe in the power of GOD and His salvation for you through Jesus Christ.

3. Sincere readiness to follow the “terms and conditions” of Jesus Christ.

4. Read the Bible to know the will of GOD, things the LORD expect from you and guidelines for your new lifestyle.

5. Hear the word of GOD always from genuine preachers who dislike misconception of the bible.

6. Confess your sins genuinely to the LORD and He would forgive you.

9. Invite the Holy Spirit and He would surely come into your life.

10. With great passion always obey the rules of the LORD given through Jesus Christ and the counsel of the Holy Spirit.

11. Pray to the LORD every day for His support.

12. Don’t allow the love of this world to hold you back!

What the Salvation of Jesus Christ Cannot Do?

Please be cautious of many false preachers who tell you that you have nothing to do than to confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour.

They may tell you that whatever you do would not stop you from entering heaven…They misinterpret many statements of Paul and quote some Old Testament verses which are not relevant for the New Testament era. Be careful!

The salvation of the LORD through Jesus Christ does not agree to the following:

1. Living a sinful life after confessing Jesus Christ as Lord.

“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit…

if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.” (Hebrew 6:4-6)

2. Using unholy powers or worldly features for the propagation of the Gospel.

“Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’”

“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” (Matthew 7:22-23)

3. Inconsistent relationship with the LORD.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.”

“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16)

4. Christians who claimed that this dispensation of grace gives them eternal security despite their active careless lifestyle.

Paul whom some Christians quote for their carelessness says:

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2)   

The salvation of the LORD through Jesus Christ would make you free from the bondage of sin and enjoy seamless relationship with the LORD.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)  

The Secret of Spiritual Discipline for a Christian life!

The Secret of Spiritual Discipline for a Christian life!

Spiritual discipline for Christians means giving everything about yourself to GOD to train you on how to live a holy life and the readiness to be chastised when you disobey the rules.

It is not a news that the brevity and victory of the army in any war is directly related to the training they received on camp. And the athletes that win gold medals after a tough competition went through strict disciplines by their coaches.

Today’s message would explain the significance of spiritual discipline and the best choice for you.

Why do You Need Spiritual Discipline?

Many Christians tried to avoid the spiritual training because of the pains related to it and when they face the storm of life, it becomes a disaster to their faith.

It is good to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour but that is not all about the Christian race to heaven. You also need the spiritual training from the Holy Spirit to make you a strong energetic Christian to the end of the race.

The parable of Jesus recorded in the book of Mark chapter 4 made it clear that there is more training to do after joining the Christendom:

“…Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow… Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth…some seed fell among thorns; the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop…

“And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts… and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble.

“Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”

7 Major Benefits of Spiritual Discipline include:

1. Acquisition of Divine Power.

2. Your spirit being would be strong enough to wrestle and win.

3. It becomes impossible for your body to move into sin.

4. You’ll find it easier to see and hear from the LORD.

5. Devil cannot steal your joy even during the hard times.

6. You treasure in Heaven is enormous than the richest sinner on earth.

7. Steady victory over unavoidable daily temptations.

What did Bible Say about Spiritual Training?

Some bible verses about spiritual discipline which you can read and meditate upon include:

1. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)

2. “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.

And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.” (1 Corinthians 9:24-25)

3. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

4. “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” (Colossians 3:16)

5. “Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” (Hebrew 12:11)

6. “Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” (Proverbs 12:1)

7.As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore, be zealous and repent.” (Revelation 3:19)

8. “You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.” (Deuteronomy 8:5)

9. “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore, do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.” (Job 5:17)

10. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:3)

5 Major Steps to Spiritual Discipline

Christians that would make it to the end are always referred to as Soldiers of Christ.

Note: This had nothing to do with attending a school of Theology because God Himself is your trainer!

Below are some key steps to take before you can make yourself available to God for spiritual training;

1. Your status as a born-again Christian must Love GOD more than anyone on earth.

“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:37-39)

2. Readiness to obey every command from the LORD without argument. To replace heart of flesh with heart of stone. (Ezekiel 36:26)

3. Set your mind to the reality that there are good and difficult times, joy and sorrow, sacrifices and pains on the training camp.

4. Trust no one on earth and make Jesus Christ your only Close Friend.

5. Put everything about this world behind you!

7 Spiritual Disciplines for Your Success as a Christians

1. Frequent Prayers

Daily prayers mean consistent communication to the LORD for direction and establishment of His will in your life.

2. Bible Studies

Reading and meditating the word of GOD with a humble heart to learn something new every day is essential.

3. Fasting

No room for gluttony or hunger for the worldly sweets. Regular fasting shapes your body and helps your spirit to concentrate.

4. Heartful Worship

You don’t worship God through the name of any pastor. You worship the LORD through His Name recorded in the Bible.

5. Evangelism

At least one person should hear about Jesus Christ through you every day. Make yourself available in your environment to propagate the Gospel likewise your internet availability.

6. Servanthood

Help the poor, the weak, the vulnerable, widows, orphans and the likes as directed by the LORD.

7. Check and Balance

Always do a self-examination of your actions and reactions all the time with the Word of God as your standard.

“Therefore, let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” (1Corinthians 10:12)

If all these spiritual disciplines are practiced by our Lord Jesus Christ when on earth then it is wise for you to get trained by the LORD.
