Four Minutes of Fullness

19/08/2020

The Pandemic is not only a reset button but also a REFINING FIRE sent by God to those who are elect, saved and are called to burn away all the dross and dirt making them holier more committed sincere and sanctified, making them pure. It is also a SEDIMENTARY EVENT the Lord use to separate the chaff from the wheat , the goats from the sheep and the mere professors of Christianity to the true believers, and those who are living in false security to those who are truly saved.

With the pandemic you can see the sheep are prayerful while goats are prayer less or no prayer at all; the sheep support the church by their tithes and offerings, the goats never; the wheat germinates evangelize and brings fruits of repentance as they lead souls to Christ ECQ or quarantine can not chains their witness. They always find ways to tell their story about the Savior and influence others by their talk and by their new walk..And the true believers are not contented with zoom broadcast if there are opportunity to gather, they will, with all sensibility responsibility and care, just like in the days of the apostles even it will cost them their lives they will gather secretly and will not forsake the assembly or gathering to worship and study the Scripture. when in zoom broadcast, they prepared themselves with video not just a blank screen with their names, as if to make good impression or cheat, they are not ashame of everything and anything for and about Christ and His Word and the Holy Bible. They come prepared for zoom worship and study of God's word for it is a Holy Engagement on line far sanctified than googling, twittering or fb.

The goats or mere professors of Christianity are careless and dont mind at all. They dont wholeheartedly prepare and just do it for convenience. They are not excited about the Holy Bible, worship and serving God , Now coz of zoom broadcast the more they are duped by the devil not to be totally personally engaged for they could do it electronically and could hide under the impression of participation but without integration and integrity YET WHEN IT COMES TO OUTINGS, .MEETING WITH FRIENDS, GOING TO GROCERY OR WORK THEY BRAVE IT OUT THERE NOT AFRAID OFCOVID, THEY ARE SO HAPY WITH THE FREEDOM TO TALK LIKE THE WORLD TO DRESS LIKE THE WORLD TO THINK LIKE THE WORLD AND BE WITH THE WORLD --- They are enemy of God. Please read James 4:4. Jesus is not their friend, the Holy Bible is not sacred to them and the Church is the greatest threat to their freedom. Yet they call themselves Christian's.

Last night in between my study I was so strucked by the effects of pandemic on the souls of people especially those who claims to be Christian's yet apathetic and no difference from the world. No light of God in them, no salt in their conversation, no fruits and their only boast are church membership, knowing gospel song and having said the acceptance prayer.

I believe that the PANDEMIC is GOD'S SPECIAL GRACE BEFORE THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS. It is God's means of awakening sleeping church members, believers who slumbers and are drunk with the spirit of the world, who live in hatred, no forgiveness and uncommitted.there is still hope for them if they awake from slumber, lukewarmness and backsliding. The present pandemic suffering is just a foretaste of the terrible times coming if they will not be included in the rapture of the saints, the TRIBULATION AND THE GREAT TRIBULATION is no joke.

This is a call to be prepared and be included in the IMPENDING RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS!

Are You Adding Flavor to the World?

If you were to describe your city, environment, or world, what words would you choose?

In Matthew 5, Jesus described the world using several metaphors for us, His people:

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (vv. 13-16).

Two thousand years ago, salt was primarily used to stop the decay of meat. So for Jesus to say that we're the salt of the earth implies that the world is corrupt and rotting, like meat that's been left out for too long. He also said, "You are the light of the world," which implies that the world is dark.

But, like salt, we're to add flavor to the world. Sometimes food can be dull and tasteless, but if you sprinkle on a little bit of salt, it brings out the flavor. In the same way, this world is flat and dull, but you're to add flavor to it. Your life ought to be something that attracts people to the Lord because you're bringing out the real flavor in the Christian life.

Something else about salt: if it's doing its job, it creates thirst. This world is already spiritually dehydrated. We should come along and create a thirst in people to want to know God and live the kind of life we profess.

To sum it up, we're to live differently from the world and be noticed by the world. As Jesus said, "A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." But this means we have a responsibility. Jesus said that salt must keep its flavor, otherwise it's not good for much. As salt and light, we are to create a thirst in people and then help lead them out of darkness.

This is why we are needed in this world; we are here on earth for an important mission. When Jesus said, "You are salt and light," it would be better translated from the Greek as "You and you alone are the salt of the earth and the light of the world." In other words, no one else in this world has what we have. No one else in this world can do what we can do. If people don't see Christ through our lives, then guess what? They won't see Christ.

As kingdom dwellers, we're to live differently than the world. We're to be countercultural. At the same time, we are needed ambassadors of Christ to the world. That means being an influence as salt and light. Is that how you're living your life today?

If you were to describe your city, environment, or world, what words would you choose? In Matthew 5, Jesus described the world using several metaphors for us, His people:

Lovable! | Jeremiah 31:1–6

Much of the book of Jeremiah deals with the prophet’s anguished appeal for God’s people to turn back to Him. Those pleas were ignored, making judgment inevitable. But God’s love is relentless, and in chapters 30–31 Jeremiah gives hope to the remnant who would live through the coming invasion. “The people who survive the sword will find favor in the wilderness,” God said (31:2). This “favor” would show up in ways the scattered survivors likely thought no longer possible. What the invading horde destroyed, God would rebuild, causing the people to “take up [their] timbrels and go out to dance with the joyful” (v. 4). Their farmers would plant fruitful vineyards (v. 5). No longer would watchmen cry out in warning, but would instead call the people to Zion (Jerusalem) for worship (v. 6).

When we begin to understand the scope of God’s love, we can accept His correction and learn from it. As we embrace His everlasting love, we find that God’s discipline is for our good and is proof that we are His children (see Hebrews 12:5–7).

Do you see God as our gentle and loving heavenly Father? In what ways have you sensed His loving correction?

Humble Love | Philippians 2:1-11

Philippians 2 teaches us that how we behave is rooted in what we believe. Paul says the call to humble love and service is built on the example of Jesus. We are to be “like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” He then adds, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others” (vv. 2–4). This type of living does not come naturally. Only when we allow the Holy Spirit to enable us can we live out the humble love expressed perfectly by Christ.

Jesus shows us the ultimate example of humility. God’s Word tells us, “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” (Philippians 2:5–7).

Jesus demonstrated the greatest humility of all. Though eternally with the Father, He chose to bend beneath a cross in love so that through His death He might lift any who receive Him into the joy of His presence.

We imitate Jesus’s humility when we seek to serve our heavenly Father by serving others. Jesus’s kindness helps us catch a breathtaking glimpse of the beauty of setting ourselves aside to attend to others’ needs. Aiming for humility isn’t easy in our “me first” world. But as we rest securely in our Savior’s love, He will give us everything we need to follow Him.

The movie "Corpus Christi "is due to be released this June to August. It is a disgusting film set to appear in America later this year which depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theaters for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Body of Christ". It's a revolting mockery of our Lord. But we Christians can make a difference.That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we just might be able to prevent this film from being shown in Australia, Canada and America etc. Let's stand for what we believe and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior. Where do we stand as Christians? I am forwarding this to all I think will respect and appreciate being informed. Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. There is no petition to sign, no time limit, or minimum number of people to send this to.It will take you less than 2 minutes!If you are not interested and do not have the 2 minutes it will take to do this, please don't complain if God does not seem to have time for you. Imagine what would happen if this film were depicting Mohammad in the same way...the Islamic world would be in flames!!. Apparently, some regions in Europe have already successfully banned the film. All we need is a lot of prayer and a lot of E-mails.JUST GET THE WORD OUT!....Will God be able to find at least 50 righteous people who are willing to express their concern and voice their opinion against this act of blasphemy?

Boycott it.... spread to all your contacts

Is your patience running out more quickly … are you often disappointed than normal …do minor things suddenly become big and upsets you and makes you quick to react? If yes, then you are frustrated! Please read before frustrations robs you of opportunities and joy.
FRUSTRATION IS NOT THE END,
IT COULD LEAD TO YOUR PROMOTION
Life is full of frustrations. So, you are not alone, everyone experience it. However, not all who experience it ended up LOSER, some in fact are so thankful for such experiences for it makes them DISCOVER, RECOVER and becomes a WINNER! I do not know the source and magnitude of your frustration what I know is that you have a choice to be enslave by your frustration and be its victim, or to master your frustration and be its conqueror!
Gideon is one of the most frustrated individual in the Holy Bible. His family, and country was devastated because of war and the whole nation was in turmoil and fear. From Judges 6:11-16 we saw him threshing small quantity of grain using a flail instead of the customary treading of cattle, and in a very unusual place, near a wine-press, under a tree, and on the bare ground, and not a wooden floor so as to prevent noise out of fear of the Medianites. His frustration springs not from external source alone but from internal too. When the angel told him that he was to save Israel he says that his family is poor and he was the least in his father’s house (Judge 6:15). After having all the signs he requested, he agree to lead the Israelites against an enemy that is described as “thick as locust” with “camels as numerous as the grain of sand on the seashore” {Judge 7:12) with 32,000 soldiers. Frustrating though the odds, but in obedience to God he reduces them by 22,000 (Judges 7:2-3). Again in obedience to God he decreases the remaining 10,000 by a further 9,700, leaving him with just 300 men (vss. 7-8). Gideon was not hindered by waves of frustrations. With the battle finally won, the people suggest that Gideon rule over them as their king, but he declines their accolades and tells them the Lord will rule over them (Judges 8:22-23).
Gideon’s example teaches us that FRUSTRATIONS are no match to the FAITHFULNESS, TRUTHFULNESS AND ALMIGHTHINESS OF GOD!
STOP FRUSTRATING START TRUSTING!
Prov. 3:5-8
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
STOP FRUSTRATION GET THE PROMOTION
YOU DESERVE AS A BELIEVER!
Jer. 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
INSTEAD OF FRUSTRATING KEEP ON PRAYING
Php. 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Php 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

THE GREATEST AND MEANINGFUL CAUSE:
JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL
Christianity is not just an ordinary religion, it is more than that - it is a RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER-GOD IN CHRIST THROUGH THE GOSPEL, apart from the Gospel, no such relationship will exist, maintain, mature and multiply to conquer the world.

I remember almost 20 years ago, Christianity is the number one "religion", now it is not. Churches, ministers, and believers are are asking what happened? What are we missing? What should we do? In response came a host of programs, systems, methods, and activities directed to church growth and duplication of "the Apostolic Church" experience in the New Testament. Amidst all of these, we are still at a lost and in an enigma. Is there a solution to these perplexities? Where is it?
WE always believe that THE WORD OF GOD IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN ALL MATTERS OF LIFE AND DOCTRINE ... therefore let us all goes back to the Holy Bible. In our text, we find the secret how St. Paul and the Apostolic Churches made it. It is not in any methods, systems, or gadgets, not even in the environment. It is all in the heart: THEY HAVE A PASSION FOR THE GREATEST AND MEANINGFUL CAUSE. Its Jesus and His Gospel!

This made St. Paul and the Apostolic Churches abandon their status and comfort zone for a WORLD VISION AND MISSION. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, they helped one another, and they lend to each other not only material things but also their souls for the fulfillment of their PASSION!
In other words, they all discovered JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL, they all believe in JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL, they all put their life to JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL and they all fight for JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL.

This is what is lacking ... this is where we missed!. Many just joined the church but are not "born-again" or have experience conversion. Lacking the passion and not have yet given their lives ... they are not fighting for JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL and so sad ... not even prepared to meet the challenges they will face. They remain as members and watcher and not an army and movers ... so the impact becomes less and less.
The good-news is: This is not IRREVERSIBLE. Let us all join hands together to reverse this curse upon us and create an impact that becomes greater and greater! As believers of JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL let us all put our life to JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL and fight for JESUS AND HIS GOSPEL.
Now, would you like to remain just a member and watcher or belong to an army and movers, and possess and live St. Paul's motto:

Php 1:20 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

PRAYER:
Lord, touch and keep my heart very passionate to you and your Gospel that nothing can replace that passion in me by what I see, what I hear and what I feel, that I may abandon my status and comfort zone to win and conquer the world for you and your Gospel. To love and help my fellow Christians, to impart not only things but my soul as well, and to be bold and not ashamed to magnify you in my body, and in my life so that even "to die is gain".
I love You, Lord! Holy Spirit, never ceased to anoint me!
