Parent Watch Out : I found my 14 year old son masturbating.I was shocked. I cried, I almost killed myself. He is an introvert and has few friends, so it surprised me how he knows to.He was moaning and licking his fingers and the wall.He would rub his penis on the wall.I also noticed he has a bottle of coconut oil I have been looking for beside him.he keeps putting the oil on his penis.I couldn't bear it any more. I called his name but he didn't hear, he was so engrossed, I had to scream his name. He almost fainted, he didn't know I would be home early.I decided to be calm and called his daddy who rushed home immediately.We decided to sleep on it.It was the longest night of our life.We are godly parents.We trained our children what we did wrong.We had time for them.We counsel them all the time against social vices.We refused to buy them phone until they completed secondary schools.We kept asking ourselves what we did wrong.So it baffled us how this son of mine in S.S1knew how to masturbate. His elder sisters were exemplary children. I begged my hubby not be harsh and violent but to let us be cautious.Early next morning, we went to his room, he looked sheepish.After praying with him, we asked him how knew about masturbation, he said watches pornographic movies on our phones.We were shocked. Hubby flew into rage, but I calmed him.I told my son how since we don't have pornographic mOvies on our phones but my son said he watches it online through the browser on our phones. He says he usually go into his bathroom to watch it to avoid us and his little brothers and he has been doing it for three years.I was surprised.No wonder, he disappears all the time.I remember certain times we would be looking for our phones.So it was all our fault that we didn't buy him a phone yet we gave him unlimited access to our phones.I couldn't bear it anymore so I left the room in tears.Hubby came to our room later and told me he examined(he is a doctor) our son's penis and he noticed the veins are already weak due to constant mishandling and that our son confessed that he's already addicted to masturbation.We decided to take him through counseling and prayers to help him stop.Now dear parents, you didn't buy phone for your children yet you gave them unlimited access to yours.This children are far more intelligent than we can imagine. Please set boundaries on your phones and let your children respect your phones as much as they respect you.Use locks if necessary. My son is healing but yours might not be lucky.You may not even know until some nerve endings are damaged and beyond repair. Parents please open your eyes and be careful. True, I just sent this to a parent I am helping deal with their teenage son.Most of the time, parents just assume they know their children but the kids are really smarter with all the gizmos around.Thank God for the parents above and may God open the eyes of our understanding be enlightened in Jesus name
Tips:1. We are always right and we never *accept correction*. A corrector is seen as an enemy.2. We love to sing in Church, but do not read our Bible at home.3.We are full of lust, sensuality and emotions and we call it love.4. We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had more boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.5.Sexual activities are now part of our relationships calling it romance.6.We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc, which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions.7. We do not pay our tithes and offerings claiming we are students.8. We say we are Christian men & women but dress like hollywood stars and we call it fashion.9. We love pleasures rather than God.10.In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but on our phones in our pockets, you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it.11.We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because our hearts have been hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.
But God foresaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That *In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.We need to change our ways.Be Inspired! IN CHRIST:Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJVS
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.IN CHRIST, THERE'S NO CURSE
Ancestral curse or generational covenant has no impact on you again as a believer!
This is the biblical that supercede all our experiences, he was a perfect substitute
Galatians 3:13 KJVSChrist hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Colossians 2:14 KJVS Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
In the description of a believer, Paul said old things have passed away and ALL things have become new..This includes everything about you including covenants or curse, it is a total rebirth!! You were born again! Not patch up!
Now, you are in God's family. A family greater than blood.
You are son to him as your father! That's your lineage!
You only have inheritance here now. That's why scriptures can say you have inheritance as a son of God, you are now a heir in this family which superimpose blood relations!*
meditate on the following scriptures.. John 1:13 KJVS Which were BORN , not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, BUT OF GOD .2 Corinthians 5:16-17 NLT,So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! [17] This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!Why then does it look like you have those curses? Fear!Not knowing you have the authority already, So, how should a believer pray concerning lineage curse and ancestral Covenant? You thank God for the victory already won, you pray for enlightenment, to see and acknowledge and walk In that victory. When we say this, many misquoted us and think we are not realistic.. But the fact is a Christian is delivered totally from it, choice to walk in it or not relies on the believer.. For example, some has been defeated on the cross for the believer, but a believer can choose whether to walk in this power over sin or not because he didn't know he have! A believer is curse free!!! A new Creature is a new creature. That's who you are. God blessed your day.I never knew this wow!
HOW THE APOSTLES DIED.
1. Matthew:Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound.
2. Mark:Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead.3.Luke:Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost.4. John:Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death.John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully5. Peter:He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross.According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
6. James:The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, hisenemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.7. James the Son of Zebedee, :was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew:Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.9. Andrew:Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.10. Thomas:Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.11. Jude: Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.12. Matthias:The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.13. Paul:Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament. Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.Pass on to encourage other Christians.Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer, but stay awake through a 3 hour movie?Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK, but find it easy to read other books?Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,Yet we forward the nasty ones?Why are Prayers getting smaller,but bars and clubs are expandingWhy is it so easy to worship a celebrity,But very difficult to engage with God? God said: If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment:When one door closes, God opens two: If God has opened doors for you, send preach to every today.Make this message your contribution to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, be blessed.
ECONOMICS SYSTEMS, BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE= SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. Youtake a consultant to understand this death.FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third.GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves.CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world.
BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community will give you others. You go to a church or a mosque pray to Jesus for other cows. You fast 40 days and 40 nights so that the cows will fall from Heaven. You recite "All the Prayers in a Prayer Book " a million times without success. You look for passages that speak of cows in the Bible or the Quran hoping to see the cows appear. At the end you have no strength to read the Bible. You become a prophet of the good news of the cows that will be coming soon. You die in extreme pover. 29 SILENCE FACTS ABOUT THE RAPTURE
1. It is going to be the next greatest event that will shock all the continents of the world.
2. It is going to take place suddenly, abruptly, unexpectedly, without warning and without prior notice.3. There shall be no second version of the event.
4. A greater percentage of Christians may be taken unawares.5. Careless Christians who miss the event will have no other similar gracious opportunity.6. The event shall have no regard or respect for ecclesiastical titles or church leadership positions.7. It shall be a day when the sheep shall be separated from the goats.8. The day shall differentiate between the Broad Way Christians from the Narrow Way Christians.9. The day shall separate sincerity from hypocrisy.10. The day shall differentiate between those who harbour secret sins from those who abhor secret sins.11. The day shall separate those whose lives are hidden in Christ from those who are hiding in the church.12. The day shall show a glaring, clear, conspicuous, demarcation between Christians who walk on the path of holiness from those who walk on the path of worldliness.
13. It shall be a day of double emotion: joy for some and unimaginable, indescribable, uncontrollable regrets for others.14. It shall be a day of surprises- some “Big names” may miss the flight while some “Less known” may be on board.15. Another surprise may be that a man or woman who had faithfully served the Lord for many years may defile his or her garment a few minutes before the sound of that summoning trumpet and miss the flight while a notorious sinner may surrender his or her life to Jesus within the same time frame and go to heaven. 16. This event may happen now, today, this week, this month, this year or next year!17. Wise Christians, like the five virgins that took extra oil, are expected to get ready, yes, to get prepared.18. After the event, all those who are bitter against one another, malicious, unforgiving, jealous, arrogant, haters, hypocrites, drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, adulteresses, murderers with weapons and murderers with tongue etc, shall have enough time to continue in their trade.19. When the event is over there shall be revival among those who have chosen to stay behind not because there will be a second chance, no, but because the reality of the event would have struck them like a thunderbolt. But they will have to pay with their own blood.20. When the event is over, those who are left behind shall no longer be safe to worship in their gigantic, fanciful and multi-billion Dollars/Cedis cathedrals. Instead they shall seek safety in caves, bushes and abandoned and dilapidated but hidden structures.
21. When this great event is over, each time those who will miss their flight manage to gather for worship, they will pay attention to only one sermon- whether they gather in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North or South America; the sermon will only centre on “How to Meet the Divine Standard and Join the Other Saints”.22. It is also worthy to note that those who will be left behind will never have any business with comedians at their altars anymore. No! There shall no longer be gatherings for entertainments. Whenever, they manage to gather, it shall always be for serious religious business only.23. The prayer pattern of those who will be left behind will also undergo a radical change. They will not be praying for things anymore. They will only be praying for strength to withstand the tortures of the Anti-Christ and die bravely to join the other saints. None will be praying for jobs, marriages, etc.24. It is equally worthy of note that some of those who will miss their flight will not be able to endure the torture of the Anti Christ. They will receive the mark of the beast and thereby be doomed forever.25. When the ready saints are gone, all our denominational walls of partition will collapse. The man or woman who use to worship in Omega Fire, Jesus Chapel, Exousia Kingdom Gospel Centre, Deeper Life, for instance, will hide in the same place with those who worship in Christ Embassy, Church of God Mission, Assemblies of God, Word Aflame, Action Chapel, Winners Chapel, Lighthouse Chapel etc and nobody will remember to claim superiority anymore because then they will be facing a common enemy.26. When this event is over, each time believers who will miss their flight manage to gather anywhere for worship, there will be an atmosphere of sobriety. This rowdiness we witness today shall be no more.27. There shall also be a radical change in the attitude of those who will miss their flight towards Bible study. What we have now is an attitude characterized by a high degree of nonchalance and indifference, but when the ready saints are gone, those who will be left behind will begin to take their bible study seriously.28. All the teens and youths who come to church to please their parents will repent after this great event; yes, they will begin to seek God for themselves.29. When the event is over, all those who will do any form of business in the schools, hospitals, banks, etc, will have to bear the mark of beast (666) or be hunted down and killed like common criminals.30. One of the gains of this reminder is that there may be someone reading this piece today who will take a firm decision to ensure that he/she gets on board that celestial flight travelling to glory. 31. However, one of the greatest tragedies of this reminder is that there may be someone too who is reading this piece today but who will see no need to heed this warning. A tragedy indeed. Please it time to awake the gaint in us . Wake up
Drama : WILL YOU FORGIVE?A man business was nosediving and he sought for spiritual help.

A PROPHET TO THE GENTILE:The Bible clearly teaches that God does not deal with Jew and Gentile at the same time. For a more detailed study of this thought follow the link to Jews Versus Gentiles In Scripture. God has appointed a limited time wherein he brings Salvation unto the Gentiles - calling out of the Gentiles "a people for His name" (Acts 15:14). This time frame covers approximately 2000 years and is divided into Seven Church Ages. Again you may follow the link to An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages for a more detailed study of the Ages.In the book of Acts chapter 28 and verse 28, Paul makes this declaration to the Jews AFTER they had refused to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah: "Be it known, therefore, unto you, that the Salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and they will hear it." In Acts 18:6 Paul bore witness against the Jews because of their unbelief... "He shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."From that time to the present age God has been presenting Salvation to the Gentile nations. When the "TIMES" and "FULLNESS" of the Gentiles be finished then God shall again turn to the Jews to restore them, not only nationally but spiritually. In our section on the "Fig Tree" above we have already considered the restoration of Israel as being a SIGN of the Second Coming of Christ. It is also a SIGN of "THE END" of the "Times" and "Fullness" of the Gentiles. It is written in Luke 21:24... "and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."The Last and Final Age wherein God deals with the Gentiles is the Laodicean Church Age. All evangelical Christians believe that we are living in this last age. In each of these ages God sent a Messenger with a Message to call the Gentiles back to Himself. The Last Age wherein God deals with the Gentiles also has its Messenger (Rev. 2:1,8,12,18; 3:1,7,14). In fact, he will be a PROPHET-MESSENGER. Unlike the other Messengers, his Ministry will be somewhat different in scope, power and purpose. In this Age the Lord, through His PROPHET-MESSENGER, will among other things....1. Restore the FULLNESS of the Word of God to the people - taking out what man put in and putting back what man took out.2. Call the elected predestinated seed of God to come out from among the systems of man-made religion.3. Finish the Mystery of God - the mysterious things and mysteries which other Messengers probed at through the centuries, is revealed and made plain through the Ministry and message of this end time Prophet-Messenger.4. Make an end of the Dispensation of Grace to the Gentile world.
5. Declare "The Day Of Vengeance Of Our God".6. Introduce [through the Revealed Word] the earthly Bride to her Heavenly Bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ.7. Quicken to the Bride of Christ the reality of the Second Coming, the Rapture and the Resurrection.Most professing Christians do believe in the Second Coming, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture [catching away] of the living Saints. (1st Thess. 4:16-17; 1st. Cor. 15:51-57; Acts 1:11, etc.). BUT What most people don't know is that, even as John the Baptist foreran the First Coming of our Lord, there must come a Prophet, having the spirit of Elijah who will forerun Christ's Second Coming. Such a Ministry is Promised in the Bible. Of course, even now there are many false prophets in the world, leading many astray (Matt. 24:11-24). But the same God who said there would be the false, also said there would come a TRUE Prophet. We have to be cautious in our judgments lest we find ourselves "throwing the baby out with the bath water".It is absolutely Scriptural that a Prophetic [Elijah-type] Ministry is to come into focus at the end of the world - not once but twice: FIRST, to the Gentiles, and SECOND, to Israel during the Great Tribulation. Be prepared.
Tips:1. We are always right and we never *accept correction*. A corrector is seen as an enemy.2. We love to sing in Church, but do not read our Bible at home.3.We are full of lust, sensuality and emotions and we call it love.4. We want to have wonderful marriages, but by the time we are 25 years we've already spent almost ten years in relationships. Sometimes, we may have had more boy lovers and girl lovers than even our parents.5.Sexual activities are now part of our relationships calling it romance.6.We want to be rich in life, meanwhile, we spend all our finances on the latest ipads, iphone, laptops, cameras, smartphones, etc, which in many cases we uses less than 30% of their functions.7. We do not pay our tithes and offerings claiming we are students.8. We say we are Christian men & women but dress like hollywood stars and we call it fashion.9. We love pleasures rather than God.10.In Church you will see us with our hands lifted up singing slow songs which we call worship but on our phones in our pockets, you will see pics of naked and half naked women, hip hop, Antichrist, etc and we have a nice way of justifying it.11.We are hardly convicted when we go to Church because our hearts have been hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and pride.
But God foresaw these and warned us in 2 Timothy 3 That *In the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.We need to change our ways.Be Inspired! IN CHRIST:Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJVS

ECONOMICS SYSTEMS, BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE= SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. Youtake a consultant to understand this death.FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third.GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves.CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world.
BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community will give you others. You go to a church or a mosque pray to Jesus for other cows. You fast 40 days and 40 nights so that the cows will fall from Heaven. You recite "All the Prayers in a Prayer Book " a million times without success. You look for passages that speak of cows in the Bible or the Quran hoping to see the cows appear. At the end you have no strength to read the Bible. You become a prophet of the good news of the cows that will be coming soon. You die in extreme pover. 29 SILENCE FACTS ABOUT THE RAPTURE
1. It is going to be the next greatest event that will shock all the continents of the world.
2. It is going to take place suddenly, abruptly, unexpectedly, without warning and without prior notice.3. There shall be no second version of the event.
4. A greater percentage of Christians may be taken unawares.5. Careless Christians who miss the event will have no other similar gracious opportunity.6. The event shall have no regard or respect for ecclesiastical titles or church leadership positions.7. It shall be a day when the sheep shall be separated from the goats.8. The day shall differentiate between the Broad Way Christians from the Narrow Way Christians.9. The day shall separate sincerity from hypocrisy.10. The day shall differentiate between those who harbour secret sins from those who abhor secret sins.11. The day shall separate those whose lives are hidden in Christ from those who are hiding in the church.12. The day shall show a glaring, clear, conspicuous, demarcation between Christians who walk on the path of holiness from those who walk on the path of worldliness.
13. It shall be a day of double emotion: joy for some and unimaginable, indescribable, uncontrollable regrets for others.14. It shall be a day of surprises- some “Big names” may miss the flight while some “Less known” may be on board.15. Another surprise may be that a man or woman who had faithfully served the Lord for many years may defile his or her garment a few minutes before the sound of that summoning trumpet and miss the flight while a notorious sinner may surrender his or her life to Jesus within the same time frame and go to heaven. 16. This event may happen now, today, this week, this month, this year or next year!17. Wise Christians, like the five virgins that took extra oil, are expected to get ready, yes, to get prepared.18. After the event, all those who are bitter against one another, malicious, unforgiving, jealous, arrogant, haters, hypocrites, drunkards, fornicators, adulterers, adulteresses, murderers with weapons and murderers with tongue etc, shall have enough time to continue in their trade.19. When the event is over there shall be revival among those who have chosen to stay behind not because there will be a second chance, no, but because the reality of the event would have struck them like a thunderbolt. But they will have to pay with their own blood.20. When the event is over, those who are left behind shall no longer be safe to worship in their gigantic, fanciful and multi-billion Dollars/Cedis cathedrals. Instead they shall seek safety in caves, bushes and abandoned and dilapidated but hidden structures.
21. When this great event is over, each time those who will miss their flight manage to gather for worship, they will pay attention to only one sermon- whether they gather in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North or South America; the sermon will only centre on “How to Meet the Divine Standard and Join the Other Saints”.22. It is also worthy to note that those who will be left behind will never have any business with comedians at their altars anymore. No! There shall no longer be gatherings for entertainments. Whenever, they manage to gather, it shall always be for serious religious business only.23. The prayer pattern of those who will be left behind will also undergo a radical change. They will not be praying for things anymore. They will only be praying for strength to withstand the tortures of the Anti-Christ and die bravely to join the other saints. None will be praying for jobs, marriages, etc.24. It is equally worthy of note that some of those who will miss their flight will not be able to endure the torture of the Anti Christ. They will receive the mark of the beast and thereby be doomed forever.25. When the ready saints are gone, all our denominational walls of partition will collapse. The man or woman who use to worship in Omega Fire, Jesus Chapel, Exousia Kingdom Gospel Centre, Deeper Life, for instance, will hide in the same place with those who worship in Christ Embassy, Church of God Mission, Assemblies of God, Word Aflame, Action Chapel, Winners Chapel, Lighthouse Chapel etc and nobody will remember to claim superiority anymore because then they will be facing a common enemy.26. When this event is over, each time believers who will miss their flight manage to gather anywhere for worship, there will be an atmosphere of sobriety. This rowdiness we witness today shall be no more.27. There shall also be a radical change in the attitude of those who will miss their flight towards Bible study. What we have now is an attitude characterized by a high degree of nonchalance and indifference, but when the ready saints are gone, those who will be left behind will begin to take their bible study seriously.28. All the teens and youths who come to church to please their parents will repent after this great event; yes, they will begin to seek God for themselves.29. When the event is over, all those who will do any form of business in the schools, hospitals, banks, etc, will have to bear the mark of beast (666) or be hunted down and killed like common criminals.30. One of the gains of this reminder is that there may be someone reading this piece today who will take a firm decision to ensure that he/she gets on board that celestial flight travelling to glory. 31. However, one of the greatest tragedies of this reminder is that there may be someone too who is reading this piece today but who will see no need to heed this warning. A tragedy indeed.

A PROPHET TO THE GENTILE:The Bible clearly teaches that God does not deal with Jew and Gentile at the same time. For a more detailed study of this thought follow the link to Jews Versus Gentiles In Scripture. God has appointed a limited time wherein he brings Salvation unto the Gentiles - calling out of the Gentiles "a people for His name" (Acts 15:14). This time frame covers approximately 2000 years and is divided into Seven Church Ages. Again you may follow the link to An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages for a more detailed study of the Ages.In the book of Acts chapter 28 and verse 28, Paul makes this declaration to the Jews AFTER they had refused to accept Jesus Christ as their Messiah: "Be it known, therefore, unto you, that the Salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and they will hear it." In Acts 18:6 Paul bore witness against the Jews because of their unbelief... "He shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."From that time to the present age God has been presenting Salvation to the Gentile nations. When the "TIMES" and "FULLNESS" of the Gentiles be finished then God shall again turn to the Jews to restore them, not only nationally but spiritually. In our section on the "Fig Tree" above we have already considered the restoration of Israel as being a SIGN of the Second Coming of Christ. It is also a SIGN of "THE END" of the "Times" and "Fullness" of the Gentiles. It is written in Luke 21:24... "and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."The Last and Final Age wherein God deals with the Gentiles is the Laodicean Church Age. All evangelical Christians believe that we are living in this last age. In each of these ages God sent a Messenger with a Message to call the Gentiles back to Himself. The Last Age wherein God deals with the Gentiles also has its Messenger (Rev. 2:1,8,12,18; 3:1,7,14). In fact, he will be a PROPHET-MESSENGER. Unlike the other Messengers, his Ministry will be somewhat different in scope, power and purpose. In this Age the Lord, through His PROPHET-MESSENGER, will among other things....1. Restore the FULLNESS of the Word of God to the people - taking out what man put in and putting back what man took out.2. Call the elected predestinated seed of God to come out from among the systems of man-made religion.3. Finish the Mystery of God - the mysterious things and mysteries which other Messengers probed at through the centuries, is revealed and made plain through the Ministry and message of this end time Prophet-Messenger.4. Make an end of the Dispensation of Grace to the Gentile world.
5. Declare "The Day Of Vengeance Of Our God".6. Introduce [through the Revealed Word] the earthly Bride to her Heavenly Bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ.7. Quicken to the Bride of Christ the reality of the Second Coming, the Rapture and the Resurrection.Most professing Christians do believe in the Second Coming, the Resurrection of the Dead and the Rapture [catching away] of the living Saints. (1st Thess. 4:16-17; 1st. Cor. 15:51-57; Acts 1:11, etc.). BUT What most people don't know is that, even as John the Baptist foreran the First Coming of our Lord, there must come a Prophet, having the spirit of Elijah who will forerun Christ's Second Coming. Such a Ministry is Promised in the Bible. Of course, even now there are many false prophets in the world, leading many astray (Matt. 24:11-24). But the same God who said there would be the false, also said there would come a TRUE Prophet. We have to be cautious in our judgments lest we find ourselves "throwing the baby out with the bath water".It is absolutely Scriptural that a Prophetic [Elijah-type] Ministry is to come into focus at the end of the world - not once but twice: FIRST, to the Gentiles, and SECOND, to Israel during the Great Tribulation. Be prepared.
