How would the Judgment Day look like?

How would the Judgment Day look like?

Some people thought that there won’t be any moment called the judgment day. The Atheists believe there is no Judge, so the judgment day is a mirage. In Jainism and Buddhism there is no judgment day because they believe in re-incarnation after death.

Some Pastors in the Christendom teach their members that the great judgment day is for the sinners only, is that true?

Previously, I joined the school of thought that God so loves and cannot pass an incredible judgment on human beings. But, I was enlightened when the Lord revealed the great vision below to me:

Vision as regards the Judgment Day

“I saw some huge guards that surround a particular place which I could not properly describe but the place was white, and they were shouting at the top of their voices calling someone. I was wondering the need for such aggressive call…

After a moment, a Mighty Gigantic Being in white robe rose from the white place. Then I saw a golden crown descending upon His shoulder. The LORD is so mighty that the huge guards look like a cockroach beside HIM, I am sure my size can’t be more than a grain of sand.

The LORD moved forward and I saw two groups, one at the right, and the other to His left. And He proclaims judgment: “Satan has not been doing good, and he is condemned to eternal fire”. It was at that moment I knew that the handsome group leader was the devil. And after the proclamation, Satan and his followers automatically received golden handcuffs. They hopelessly bow their heads in deep sorrow.

The Great Judge and His hosts moved to the second group and said: “Jesus have been doing good, so He is victorious.” It was at that moment I knew that the handsome group leader was Jesus. Then, I saw Jesus dancing and His followers were filled with joy. They were clapping their hands, jumping and shouting Victory! Victory!! ”

It was 4am when the Spirit of the Lord came and explained the vision to me.

Scriptural Interpretation of the Vision – Judgment Day

  1. “… Some huge guards …” – they are the Hosts that surrounds God’s throne. Revelation chapter 7 verses 11 say: “All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God.”

 

  1. “… place was white …” – it was the throne of God. Revelation chapter 20 verses 11 says: “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.”

 

  1. “…shouting at the top of their voices…” – Revelation chapter 8: “…So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound…”
  1. “… golden crown descending upon His shoulder …” – means righteous Authority. Isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 says: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

 

  1. “… Satan has not been doing good and he is condemned to eternal fire …” – Matthew chapter 25 verse 41 says: “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels…’”

 

  1. “…golden handcuffs…” – Psalm 51 verse 4 says: “Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.”

 

  1. “…Jesus has been doing good, so He is victorious…” – Matthew chapter 25 verse 34 says: “Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world…”

 

  1. “…shouting Victory! …” – Revelation chapter 19 verse 1 and 2: “After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God! For true and righteous are His judgments…”

Note: Everyone I saw in the vision had the image of God. So, the cosmetic/make-up folks should have a re-think!

The group members of Satan were disobedient people/angels, while the group members of Jesus were the obedient children of God.

The judgment day would be sharp like a two-edge sword. The Judgment Day would be bitter for some people, and it would be superb for the other group.

I implore you to join the class of hot and obedient Christians who would never allow the sweet things of this world to make them depart from the rules of holiness.

Cling to the rules of Jesus and let the Spirit of the Lord control your lifestyle. Then you will enjoy the victorious judgment of the LORD.

How to Receive Restoration from the LORD

How to Receive Restoration from the LORD

Restoration is getting back someone or something precious you lose. This world entails the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, light time and the darkest time…

No one can escape the two sides of this world; the smooth and the rough.

I remembered how I received the restoration from the Lord some years ago; I got married to a beautiful lady who gave birth to a handsome boy. She went through hard times few hours to the delivery and we agreed on caesarean.

The mother was going through the mild pains and healing process that accompanied the delivery when the gentle boy began to experience an unexplained inconvenience.

We rushed him to the hospital and the doctor said that my child was fine. But, we lost him thirty days after his arrival on earth. I held the dead boy to my chest and prayed to the Lord who had used me to raise the dead before, to bring life to my dead son…

But, God told me that His peace is sufficient for me and He promised to restore us. I wept bitterly and mourned for a year. It wasn’t easy, but we held tightly to Jesus.

He fulfilled His promise and we enjoyed His restoration; a natural birth to a beautiful baby girl…

You might be going through the darkest time of this world; Jesus can lead you through the dark tunnel. Today’s message will teach you how to receive restoration from the Lord.

10 Ways to Receive Restoration from the Lord

1. Check and Balance

Some bad situations occur to us because we carelessly open the loopholes. So, check your lifestyle, balance it with the instructions of God in the Bible and you will enjoy His restoration.

For instance, the Israelites enjoyed restoration during the lead of prophet Nehemiah. “Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dust on their heads…” (Nehemiah chapter 9)

2. Fertilize your Faith

It is natural to feel bad in times of trouble, but do not let your faith to melt away. Some people become atheist, because they lost their faith when in trouble – a big disaster for their eternity!!

You cannot receive restoration from the Lord if your faith in Him is uncertain.

Matthew chapter 17 verse 20 says: “So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”

3. Fellowship with God

God promises to restore His children when they go through tribulation.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

You can speedily receive restoration from the Lord if you upheld your fellowship with Him. Fellowship with the Lord involves creating an ample time to sing, worship, praise and pray to the Lord. I assure you that God is not deaf. He heard my prayers. He will also grant your request for restoration.

4. Film the Patience

God’s time is different from yours, so wait patiently for your restoration. Was 400 years too long for the restoration of the children of Jacob? No, it was the right time! Was 4 days too short for Lazarus’ restoration? No, it was God’s timing! Thus, be faithful to the Lord and wait patiently for His restoration.

5. Weep Moderately

It is healthy to weep when going through hard times, but it is unhealthy to empty all the tears in the weeping closet. Uncontrollable weep can lead to; confusion, lack of focus, chronic depression and spiritual separation from the Lord.

6. Rejoice

It may sound strange to you that the best way to get restoration from the Lord is to rejoice in times of trouble. Paul discovered the secret and he said to the Colossians: “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church…” (Colossians 1:24)

7. Be Hopeful

Do not run to the Satanists, false Pastors or Prophets for solutions. Let your heart be filled with the promises of the Lord in the Bible and have a positive mind.

8. Fix the Humble Heart

The Lord tests the heart of His children. So, you would receive restoration from the Lord speedily if you pass the test of humility.

 

First Peter chapter 5 verse 6 and 7 says: “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

9. Meditate the Word

Read the Bible on a higher frequency when you go through hard times. This process helps me in a great way. Your heavy heart would be relieved if you meditate on the Word of God every day and night. Restoration from the Lord has its basis from the word of God.

10. Prayers

I remembered a song that says:

“Prayer is the key] twice

Prayer is the master key

Jesus started with prayers and ended with prayers

Prayer is the master key.”

 

Psalm 55 verse 16 to 18 says: “As for me, I will call upon God, and the LORD shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many against me.”

The Lord is not wicked and He is a faithful God. The world is filled with evil due to the presence of Devil in it. Don’t be afraid, because your restoration comes from the Lord.

Self-Righteousness: How to avoid Hypocrisy!

Posted by Aug 11, 2018 Holy Word, Church, Gospel Evangelism 1 Comment
Self-Righteousness: How to avoid Hypocrisy!

Self-righteousness is a lifestyle controlled by some pleasing doctrines created by the wise great men. Hypocrisy is pandemic in the Christendom. Why? Self-righteousness has replaced godly righteousness in the church. Why?

A big log of wood fell off my eyes and I want you to read today’s message with an open-heart, because it will help you to escape the trap of self-righteousness.

The Parable of Self-Righteousness

… Jesus spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men–extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

‘I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’

“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ’God, be merciful to me a sinner!’

“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Luke 18:9-14)

This parable reveals that self-righteousness is common among the religious people. The tax collector was justified, because he realized his sinful life and wanted God’s mercy for a change in lifestyle.

The Lord will never contradict Himself, only sinners who repent shall be justified. Proverbs chapter 28 verse 13 says: “He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.”

Thus, every Christian must be careful to avoid stumbling into hypocrisy.

8 Actions of Self-Righteousness

It is a virtue rated by man and not by God. Self-righteousness is highly esteemed among people, but it is an abomination before the Lord. Self–righteousness includes;

1. Unnecessary Segregation

The self-righteous people believe they rank higher in holiness than others, so they don’t relate with everybody except their caucus.

2. Blowing Trumpets

They announce the number of souls won, the amount spent on the poor and how important their presence and finances helps the church.

3. Sitting on the Fence

Self-righteous people put one of their legs in worldliness and the other in church doctrines. They might be physically clean but spiritually dirty or vice versa.

4. Self-righteousness Loves Praises

They want the Pastor to always exalt them on the pulpit for their wonderful gifts to the church. They prefer all eyes to be on them for admiration. The self-righteous present themselves as church celebrities!

5. Dislike Corrections

The self-righteous are educative, so they thought their knowledge of the Bible surpass others. They love to correct others, but they don’t want corrections.

6. Good Judge

The self-righteous condemns those struggling with the stronghold of sins. But, if you ask them to substantiate their hypocrisy with the Bible, you hear them say “thou shall not judge…”

7. Boastful

Self-righteousness is filled with pride. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’” (Matthew 23:29-30).

8. Inventors of new Doctrines

The most powerful tool that divides the Christendom is self-righteousness. Many church founders choose to be unique by creating diverse doctrines that do not originate from Jesus Christ. Each Founder considers theirs to be the right church.

 

5 Ways to Guard against Self-Righteousness

The antonym of self-righteousness is godly righteousness, thus;

1. Give the Holy Spirit the total control of your life.

2. Don’t put yourself under church doctrines but give yourself to instructions of Jesus in the Bible.

3. Don’t make Pastors and Prophets your role model, but make Jesus Christ your role model.

4. Believe in Jesus and don’t put hope in great men.

5. The lifestyle of many superiors is self-righteousness. So, imitate the lifestyle of Jesus written in the Bible.

Self-righteousness is like a filthy rag before the Lord (Isaiah 64:6). But, godly righteousness is the basic need for you to enjoy eternal rest in Heaven. In the book of Matthew chapter 25 verses 46, Jesus says: “And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Christian Discipline: The Tough Path of Christianity!

Posted by Jul 27, 2018 Holy Word, Church, Gospel Evangelism 7 Comments
Christian Discipline: The Tough Path of Christianity!

Christian discipline is organized by the Holy Spirit to make you do the things your body, soul and spirit will not ordinarily do. Discipline is essential for the continuous growth of every Christian.

“Pablo Casals was considered the greatest cellist (Someone who plays a violoncello) to ever live. When he was 95 years old he was asked why he continued to practice 6 hours a day. He answered, “Because I think I am making progress.”

Thus, Christian discipline enhances continuity on the lane of perfection to heaven.

Today’s message will broaden your understanding on the concept of Christian discipline and how to attain the acceptable margin.

What is Christian Discipline?

Christian discipline sounds restrictive, but it is a godly training for acquiring strength and victory. It is the act of total submission to the instructions of the LORD. Christian discipline involves obeying the directives of the Holy Spirit without argument or personal opinions.

The aim of Christian discipline is to tame your body, soul and spirit in the way of godliness. First Timothy chapter 4 verses 7 and 8 say: “But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things…”

The spiritual system for Christian to be disciplined is not readily acceptable to the human thinking. But, self-control is the key attribute needed for a successful Christian.

For instance, a lot of people get bored after prayers of 20 minutes. But, if you make yourself available for discipline, there are some times you won’t stop praying until the Spirit of the Lord ask you to stop, though your knees might suffer pains, but you have to endure like a soldier standing on the parade ground….

Christian discipline means pruning your life for fruitfulness. Jesus says, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” (John 15:1-2) 

Who is the Tutor for Christian Discipline?

The tutor for Christian discipline is God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. “Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (John 14:23)

The only successful way for you to survive this sinful world is to give yourself to consistent discipline in the Lord.

Don’t be scared of God’s discipline and don’t refer to it as a harsh punishment! Rather, it is an expression of love to save your life from eternal condemnation.

Hear God speaks in Revelation chapter 3 verse 19: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”

The Lord becomes your Father when you give your life to Him. Thus, a good child must always yield to the training of the father.

“You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you. Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.” (Deuteronomy 8:5-6)

How to Become a Disciplined Christian!

1. Readiness to give everything about your Life to the Lord

“Then Jesus said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” (Luke 9:23)

2. Avoid Distractions

Be focused on godliness. The Blood of Jesus washes away all your sins, but your focus on Him to live a godly life sustains His salvation in your life. Your thoughts, speech and actions must always fall in line with His instructions.

3. Create Time for Fellowship

There are many activities you encounter every day, and if care is not taken you might have no time for spiritual exercises. I am sure Jesus went through similar experience and that was the reason for His regular night fellowship with His Father on the mountain. (Matthew 14:23)

Christian discipline gives strength and mark of holiness. So, it is mandatory for you to allocate time for prayers, Bible studies, inspirational songs and meditation in the presence of the Lord every day.

“And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord…” (Ephesians 5:18-19)

4. Charge yourself always

Your heart must not be passive for a second. Christian discipline involves filling your heart always with the word of God.

I share this to you as a testimony; the gadgets that keep me away from mess include my mp3 audio Bible. I listen to it in the car or anywhere I go to. My computer has music files that can play for the next 24 hours…

So, my ear is trained to listen to the word of God always and my heart is adapted to the obedience of His word. That is the secret of any discipline Christian! Your heart must be updated always with godly information, and not with the latest deal of worldliness.

5. Obedience to Instructions

The success of the army in battle is always credited to their obedience and disciplined actions.

Similarly, the success of every disciplined Christian is solely dependent on obedience to the instructions given by the LORD. Thus, a genuine Christian is not a lawless person!

6 Benefits of Christian Discipline

1. Hearing God’s Voice

If you find it difficult to hear God’s voice, then give yourself to godly discipline.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.”

2. It gives you Strength and Power

Devil cannot defeat you. And, you will be free from the bondage of carnal nature.

3. You will always enjoy the presence of God

4. Free from sin

Many people in the church commit disobedience to the commandments of Jesus, because they refuse Christian discipline.

Only disciplined Christians are children of God. “Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” (1John 3:9)

5. Secured Salvation

Christian discipline is for those that are active and not for those who love Jesus Christ, but dislike His commandments.

Jesus says: “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” (John 14:21)

So, the disciplined Christian who strive everyday will enjoy secured salvation.

“Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able…” (Luke 13:23-27)

6. You cannot suffer deceit

“He who keeps instruction is in the way of life, but he who refuses correction goes astray.” (Proverbs 10:17)

 

Only the disciplined Christian can succeed in the Christian race on earth. So, make yourself available for God’s discipline every day and your spiritual growth will receive strength. Note: The Blood of Jesus does not support indiscipline!

10 Things Jesus Can Give to You!

10 Things Jesus Can Give to You!

What can Jesus give to me if I give my life to Him? This was a question from a villager to the evangelist after five consecutive days of ministering salvation to the poor man. A rational human being finds it difficult to engage in a relationship that has no benefit…

So, today’s message will open your heart to understand the gains that await your cordial relationship with Jesus Christ.

What is the Mission of Jesus Christ? 

His mission was to pay the greatest sacrifice for the permanent deliverance of man from the bondage of sin.

Romans chapter 5 verses 19 say: “For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.”

Jesus Christ fulfilled this mission on the Cross of Calvary.  His Blood that was shed at the Golgotha is able to clean the sins of anyone that looks up to Him for salvation.

What Can Jesus Give to You? 

If you give your body, soul and spirit to Jesus Christ, then the following gifts are for you:

1. You will Enjoy Peace: Many poor people thought that if they are rich they would have peace. But, peace is not in affluence, because the rich also cry. If you give everything about your life to Jesus, then He will set up His supernatural power of peace into your life.

2. He Takes off your Heavy Yoke: Heavy yoke include; spiritual and physical oppression, depression, poverty, hopelessness, slavery, bitterness and all form of suicidal circumstances. When you surrender everything about your life to Jesus, He will take off your heavy yoke.

Matthew chapter 11 verse 28 to 30 says: “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

3. Jesus Gives Love that Cross Curse: The presence of Jesus in your life exempts you from the eternal curse that awaits the sinners and the enemies of God.

John chapter 3 verse 16 says: “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.”

The love of Jesus would give you the boldness to overcome the hatred of Satan against your life.

4. Free Gifts of the Holy Spirit: The lord will test your heart to confirm the genuineness of your confession. If you are not tagged as hypocrite, then the lord will give you wonderful gift(s) of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God will control your lifestyle and you won’t misbehave anymore.

Act chapter 2 verse 38 says: “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

5. Healing: Jesus Christ would give you perfect healing if you trust Him.  I always find it difficult to forget the wind of healing that blew on my dead body many years ago.  Jesus can heal your broken heart if you genuinely give your life to Him.

6.  Beautiful Mansion in Heaven: If you give your wealth to the poor and for the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ, then the Lord Jesus will give you a well-furnished mansion in heaven.

This is not a trick! I am privileged through the Grace of the Lord to see mansions in Heaven.  The building components in Heaven are purely shining gold – very beautiful!

John chapter 14 verse 1 and 2 says: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

7. Jesus Gives Victory: Jesus would give you victory to all physical and spiritual battles on earth. You would also be a victor in Heaven.

Revelation chapter 12 verses 11 say: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”

All the power on earth, under the earth and above had been given to our Lord Jesus Christ, thus, no evil powers, principalities or rulers of darkness can prevail upon you!

Devil hates me because I always expose his secret plans to people. He tried to take me away… but at the end of the fierce battle, the two hands of the devil became leprous by the Power of the Almighty God, and he shamefully disappeared… I had victory!

8.  Daily Miracles: Everything about Jesus is Wonderful. You will enjoy wonders in your home, office/business center and everywhere you minister the Gospel.

Jesus would make you a source of miracles in the lives of people around you.  I can’t count the number of miracles that happens around me in a month. Jesus gives miracles to those that believe in him.

9. Goodies of life: Jesus can give you all the necessity of life without sweat. But, it is safer to seek for His kingdom before pressing the demand for money, clothing, shelter, cars and so on.

Matthew chapter 6 verse 32 and 33 says: “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

10. Eternal Enjoyment: Only Jesus can give you eternal enjoyment in heaven, because He is the only narrow way to Heaven.

Matthew chapter 7 verse 13 says: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.”

 

All the gifts above are true and confirmed.  I am a living witness!! You have nothing good to lose if you give your body, soul and spirit to the LORD. Read the Bible and obey the instructions of Jesus Christ. You will receive abundant blessings on earth and in Heaven.
