The MISTAKE that Most Christian Believers Make



There is one a big mistake
that most Christian believers make and that is, they never become
disciples, never become followers of Jesus Christ. Most believers,
after they have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, they become
religious. They join a church and they start working for the church,
but they do not work their relationship with Jesus. Others believe
that they have to abandon everything, quit their job, and go after
Jesus, but they do not know Jesus yet. They do not know His ways.
They do not know His voice, they have not been taught how to follow
him.
The disciples that Jesus
first called went after Him. They did not go out preaching and trying
to win the world. They followed Jesus and He taught them His ways and
it was only after He had qualified them and that He sent them out. We
are called to follow Jesus. Jesus said:"Follow me." We have
to work our relationship with Jesus. Firstly we have to obey His
commands, repent and be baptized in water, live our lives the way
that Jesus commanded. Live according to His words. Live holy and
righteous, seek Him with all our heart and He will reveal Himself to
us. He will teach us and He will guide us. He promised to give the
Holy Spirit in those who seek Him, those who truly love Him, and the
Holy Spirit will teach and guide them in all things.
Most believers never
follow Jesus. Very few believers obey Jesus. Very few repent of their
sin, repent of their own futile ways, repent of a thinking the
worldly way, and living according to the words of Jesus. Very few get
baptized in water, as He commanded and even fewer receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit. Of those who receive the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, very few follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They start
running after people. They become part of a group, a church, an
organization or they follow after some person that they regard as
spiritual, but they are not following Jesus Christ. They all make the
same mistake. They do not go after Jesus. They do not work their
relationship with Jesus, they do not get to know His voice and they
do not follow Him.
Others are serious, they
start seeking Jesus in prayer and in fasting, they receive dreams and
revelations and then they jump to conclusions. Often they run after
their revelations or revelations that they have heard from others and
they are disillusioned. Their life falls to pieces and they blame
God, but they did not stay with Jesus. We have to go after Jesus.
Seek Him with all our heart, clean up our life, live according to His
words; live holy, righteous, seek His approval, seek to hear His
voice. We are not called to change the world and convert the world,
we are called to be witnesses of Jesus. We can only be a witness of
Jesus if we know Him, if our life testifies of Jesus, that the world
can see that we are changed, we have not just taken on religion but
we have become like Jesus.
We can only testify for
Jesus if we have a real relationship with Him. Anybody can go to a
Bible School, become indoctrinated, and then start preaching, start
his own church, start his own organization. That is the way of the
world, the way of the worldly Church; that is not the way of Jesus
Christ. It is not about proselyting and building churches. The gospel
of Jesus Christ is about being disciples and making disciples of
Jesus Christ, walking with Jesus every day in your situation, where
He has called you, getting to know His voice and then, if we cleanse
ourselves of unrighteousness and we make ourselves available for
Jesus, in His time He will use us. He might send us, He might tell us
to go somewhere. He might tell us to go to a different country, or to
a different city, but we have to follow Him. We have to be sure that
we heard from Jesus. We must not look for human sponsors or an
organization or an infrastructure. Our walk must be with Jesus
Christ. If that walk with Jesus is not real, then we are only
fooling ourselves.
Some people abandon
everything; they abandon their responsibilities their wife their
children, their debts, that is not what Jesus called us for. We have
to take care of our responsibilities. We cannot just irresponsibly
leave everything. That is not of the Lord. He calls us to live
righteously in this world, to live according to His words, to be led
by His Spirit. Always go back to Jesus, always ask Jesus. Keep on
praying, keep on seeking Him. Keep on trusting Him, keep on expecting
Him. If you're not sure, go back to Jesus. Our duty is to bring glory
to Jesus, and to be pleasing to Him. We can only be pleasing to
Jesus, if we receive feedback, confirmation from Him, we hear His
voice.
His sheep listen to His
voice and they follow Him. They are not trying to win the world. They
are not trying to preach to everybody. They just want to be pleasing
to the Master and the only way to do that is to be led by the Holy
Spirit, to walk with Jesus day by day. Most believers never come into
that close relationship with Jesus. They get drawn away by other
things and in the end they will stand before Jesus and He will say to
them:"Go way I never knew you." Many will say: "But
Lord but I built churches for you and I preached the gospel and I did
so many things," and He will say:"But you were never with
Me. You maybe did things that you thought were for Me but you did not
follow Me."
Do we know Jesus?
How is our relationship with Him or are we just being religious? Or
are we following after other people, following after our mind? We can
only please Jesus if we are led by the Holy Spirit day by day, moment
by moment. It is all about following Jesus Christ. Are we following
Jesus Christ? Do we know His voice? Do we listen to Him? Are we doing
and what is pleasing to Him and are we receiving confirmation from
Him that we are in His will? Do we have a real relationship with the
Living God, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

The FATAL Mistake that most Christians make





The fatal mistake that most Christian believers make is to disregard Jesus Christ, to disregard His words and to disobey Him. They believe that they can have salvation by only believing in Jesus Christ but they refuse to follow and obey Him. They refuse to obey His words and that is why they will perish.

If we believe in Jesus Christ then we OBEY Him, we deny ourselves, pick up our cross every day and follow Him. We repent of sin be baptized in water for the washing off of our sin and we SIN NO MORE. We seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ who will guide us into all truth.

Most Christian believers disregard the words of Jesus. They rather read the Bible and choose scriptures that suit them. They prefer the writings of other people above the words of Jesus Christ. They go after the doctrines of men and their own opinion but they refuse to obey Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is GOD. His words are the words of eternal life. Those who disobey Him will PERISH.

Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. If we reject Him we will perish. There is only one way to have LIFE and that is to follow Jesus Christ, the LIVING GOD. Without Jesus there is no future but you have to OBEY Him and endure with Him until the very end. Jesus Christ is LORD. He is GOD ALMIGHTY. He is the final authority and He will say to most professing Christians:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." They rejected and disregarded Him, they never truly knew Him.

Do you know Jesus Christ? Do you know His voice? Do you listen to Him and do you follow Him? Or do you disregard Him?

Follow and obey Jesus Christ or you will perish.

May Jesus bless you.

The Big Mistake Most Christians Make



Many people hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and they believe, they respond and they accept Jesus Christ, they commit to follow Him for the rest of their lives and they are touched by the power of God. The experience the peace and the joy that Jesus Christ gives to those who accept Him.

Many of them are immediately delivered from addictions and from bondage, from sin. They experience the joy of salvation, but these people do not stay with Jesus Christ, they become religious, they become church members and Bible scholars . They seek the fellowship of other Christians and the acceptance of men and they turn away from Jesus Christ. They do not keep their promise and very soon they go back to their sin. They become entangled again and the end of this people is worse than the beginning because they get into worse sin, they get into worse bondage. It is all because they have turned away from Jesus Christ, they became distracted.

Without Jesus Christ we can do nothing. Without Jesus Christ there is no life, there is no peace, there is no hope. These people lose Jesus Christ, they become slaves to sin again and then when they want to turn back to Jesus satan starts preaching to them, starts quoting them Bible verses. The devil tells them that Jesus Christ doesn't want them any more, that they have overstepped the mark, he quotes them passages like Hebrews 6:4 onwards:"For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned."

If we turn away from Jesus Christ and if we are fruitless then we are close to being cursed, close to being burned, but we have to go back to Jesus Christ. We have to repent and turn away from our wicked ways. Most Christians never turn back, They continue in their wicked ways and many of them try to justify their sin with Bible verses. They believe that once saved is always saved. But Jesus Christ said that if we do not bear good fruit we will get cut off and burned. Do not let the devil lie to you and prevent you from going back to Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is our only hope for eternal life. There is also no such thing as "once saved always saved." It is only those who endure with Jesus Christ and stay with Him , who follow Him until the very end, it is only they who will be saved. We need His fellowship, we need His approval, not the approval of other people, not the acceptance of other Christians. We need to be pleasing to Jesus Christ. we need to follow Him, obey Him and stay with Him until the very end.

If you have fallen away from Jesus Christ, if you are backslidden, if you have gone back to your previous lifestyle, to sin, REPENT, get back to Jesus Christ and live your life to please Him, SIN NO MORE and Jesus Christ will accept you. Bear fruit in keeping with repentance and you will experience His fellowship and His approval. Get back to Jesus, don't wait!

May Jesus bless you.

The MISTAKE most Christian Believers make



Most Christian believers make the mistake of thinking that their faith in Jesus Christ will save them. It is only those who OBEY Jesus, who FOLLOW Him and endure with Him until the END that will be saved. Most Christian believers never FOLLOW Jesus Christ, they do not obey Him, they do not obey His words, they do not deny themselves, pick up their cross every day, and they do not follow Him and therefor they never get to know Him.

I read the words of Jesus in Luke 13:23

“And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. “Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ “Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from;DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ “In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Many hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and they respond, they repent, some of them are baptized and then they become religious. Very few of those who believe actually go after Jesus. Very few of them follow Him. Very few of them receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ and very few of those follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit every day of their lives until the very end. Many believe in Jesus. Many go to church, they become religious, they read their Bibles and they do religious things but very few of those have that close relationship with Jesus.

Fellowship with other Christians might make you feel good but it is fellowship with Jesus Christ, that close walk, that is all that matters. That is the only way that you get to know Him. That is why He will say to most believers:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of evil, you evildoers." Why? They follow their own minds, they do what they please, they play religion but they do not know nor follow Jesus Christ. We can only please Him when we are in close relationship with Him, follow Him and OBEY Him and DO what He commands us to do DAY BY DAY under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ is ALIVE and He gives His Holy Spirit in those who seek Him. Those who are led by the Spirit of God  they are the children of God, not just those that believe. Believing will not save you if you do not LISTEN, OBEY and FOLLOW Jesus Christ and DO what He commands you to do. That is why most believers will not enter into the kingdom of heaven - THEY DID NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST because they did not follow Him.

Are WE following Jesus Christ? Do WE know Him and does He  know us?

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.
