Have you learned the LESSON?


Those who follow and who obey Jesus Christ and who endure until the end will enter the Kingdom of Heaven through MUCH SUFFERING. Jesus teaches us through SUFFERING because we learn through that which we SUFFER. There is no other way to learn but to suffer and therefor those who follow Jesus Christ will be put through suffering, with good reason, so that we can be transformed and changed into His likeness.
If we are not willing to endure suffering and hardship then we will not follow Jesus Christ, we will not be willing to follow Him, we will turn away and we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus OFTEN puts us through suffering to TEACH US A LESSON. He puts ALL of His children through suffering but some of them never learn the lesson. They suffer in vain and in the end they will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
When we experience suffering we have to PRAY and ASK Jesus and say:”Lord, what must I learn from this?“ Because it is through suffering that He teaches us, He molds us and He makes us into His likeness, He makes us useful for His Kingdom. Jesus Christ Himself, even though He was a son, LEARNED THROUGH THAT WHICH HE SUFFERED. If we are not willing to suffer for the Kingdom of God then we will not enter, we will not be worthy.
Many believers suffer in vain because they DO NOT LEARN, they do not gain understanding. Instead of humbling themselves before Jesus and learning from the experience they try to run away, they try to find their own ways and means to get out of the suffering. They run to the doctor, they run to other people, they look for other reasons, causes for the suffering instead of bowing before Jesus, asking HIM and GAINING UNDERSTANDING.
Once we have learned our lesson from the suffering then we overcome. Many people do not learn from their suffering, they reject and hate God. Have you learned from your suffering or are you suffering in vain?

May Jesus bless you.

My BIG Mistake



When I was young I was eager for Jesus. I was witnessing, praying for the sick, street preaching and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. But then I met up with a group of people who were casting out demons and prophesying (personal prophecies), and I got involved with these people. They were also following after the teachings of some American prophet. They influenced me to leave my job and join them to evangelize. While I was with this group I became attracted to a girl but they prophesied to this girl that she should marry some other young man in the group and they tried to influence me to marry another girl in the group. This girl that I was attracted to immediately responded to their prophecy and became affectionate to the other person whom they prophesied about.
I was mad. But I was mad at God not mad at the people that I had wrongly followed. The mistake I made was that I was following Jesus until I became part of a group and followed after people. Then I left Jesus and for many years I did not serve the Lord.
That is the mistake that many people make, they take their eyes off Jesus and they follow people. After many years away from the Lord Jesus, with much suffering, because of my own foolishness, the Lord Jesus brought me back to Him. But the lesson that I learned was to NEVER TRUST ANY PERSON again, to put my trust in Jesus ALONE, to LISTEN to HIM and to FOLLOW HIM, because Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE.
I learned a very tough lesson but today I can WARN other people NOT TO GO AFTER ANY PREACHER, NOT TO JOIN ANY GROUP but to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST ALONE! Do not take the advice of people, PRAY and ASK JESUS and He will guide you, He will give you wisdom and you will get to KNOW HIM. After some forty years I learned this girl that also listened to the prophecy had a disastrous marriage, she was divorced after five years and her life was wrecked.
If you follow after people you will be destroyed. You need to follow after Jesus Christ. Serve Him and TRUST HIM ALONE. Trust no man. Get your focus on Jesus. He will guide your footsteps and He will never forsake you, He will never let you down. But when you take your eyes off Jesus YOU ARE DOOMED!
Follow Jesus Christ ALONE. Follow no man.

May Jesus bless you.
