The Long Road Ahead – Health Update

Yesterday I saw the surgeon that operated on me when I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and he told me something that I did not want to hear. He said:”You have a long road ahead of you.” I was hoping for better news since I had undergone chemo and radiation that was completed a month ago. He told me that the damage in my rectum was the most severe that he has seen in all his years of practice. He scheduled me for an MRI, to better determine the extent of the damage and is planning extensive surgery four weeks from now. We were hoping for a ileostomy reversal but indications are that it is not possible.

It has been a difficult painful experience since I became ill more than a year ago and the medical prognosis of my situation is not favorable. However, our hope is in Jesus, I belong to Him and He determines my life. I died twice in December 2017, while I was in the intensive care unit of the hospital for a month, after I had complications. Very few people believed that I would survive, but I did, all because of Jesus, He brought me back and kept me alive.

We are all one breath away from eternity. We might die today and then eternity awaits us. We must always be ready. We do not know how long the road ahead of us is. What is important is that we follow Jesus all the way, until the end or else we will spend eternity away from Jesus in damnation. We have to bear fruit for the kingdom of God and bring glory to Jesus, or else we will get cut off and burned. Jesus warned that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned, unfruitful believers will end up in damnation.

Many Christians wrongly believe that if they believe in Jesus they have a ticket to heaven. They think they can sit back and celebrate their salvation. Nothing can be further from the truth. ++

+We have to follow Jesus, live in obedience to Him and endure with Him until the end, through all circumstances. To follow Jesus is not easy. The road that Jesus guides us onto is not for the faint hearted and unbelieving. We will face many trials and tribulations and only those who stay with Jesus until the end, will win the prize of eternal life. Without Jesus, we can do nothing. Jesus warned, He said:”Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 17:13,14.

It is when we go trough trials, tribulation, pain and suffering, that we learn to trust in Jesus. It is in those times that our faith is tested, and if we endure we learn to overcome. It is in those times and through those circumstances that our character is built and we are transformed into the likeness of  Jesus. We read in Hebrews 10:36 ”For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,

HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;

AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”

We do not know how long the road ahead is, but we need to endure with Jesus until the end, to win the  prize of eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Strength for the road ahead

If you decide to follow Jesus Christ then you enter a war zone because satan and all his demons will come at you to try and distract you.
You will be persecuted from all sides and you will need strength for the road ahead. That is why Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit baptism to those who want to follow Him. They will need that strength for the road ahead, they will need the power to overcome; but very few believers want to overcome. Many of them believe the lies of Satan that they will be raptured out of trouble that they can carry on living in sin as long as they
believe in Jesus, and then before the tribulation comes Jesus will come and snatch them away, take them out of trouble before the wrath of God comes on the unbelievers. That is a lie from
satan. Believers like that lie. They do not want Jesus, they do not want holiness and they do not want the Holy Spirit, they do not want the power for the road ahead.
When you talk about the Holy Spirit baptism believers run away
because they think that they will just be snatched away from trouble, Jesus will fetch them.  They are deceived and they will perish. There is only one way and that is to be righteous and  holy, to obey Jesus Christ; turn away from sin, repent be baptized and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit; come and drink of that Water because without that Water of the Holy Spirit, that strength that comes from Jesus every day, you will not make it.
Eternal life is for those who endure with Jesus until the end, those who overcome; overcome the flesh, sin and the world, and who endure with Jesus Christ in holiness. He is not coming for believers who live in sin, believers who do not care for Him and believers who do not want Him, neither do they want is Holy Spirit. You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. You can point people to Jesus and tell them the
truth but you cannot force them to follow Jesus, you cannot force them to drink of the living water that Jesus offers to all those who wish to follow Him; all those who wish to come after Him.
Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Are you filled with the Spirit? Do you drink from the fountain of Life every day? Do you eat of the Bread of Life every day? Do you hear from Jesus? Are you filled? Are you equipped to stand against  satan, or are you also deceived and you believe that Jesus will come and fetch you because you believe in Him?
Jesus said:"Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?" If we do not obey Jesus, obey His teachings, His commands, repent, be baptized, be holy, we will perish. No sinners will enter into the kingdom of heaven. If you do not want the Holy
Spirit, the power that He gives to those who thirst for righteousness and for the Spirit of God in them, if you do not
have that, if you do not want that you will perish. There's only one way; humble yourself before Jesus seek Him with all your
heart and come and drink of that water of life that He offers to those who want eternal life, to those who are willing to deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus Christ until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Stay On The Road

If you hear the confession and testimony of most believers today, they should all be in prison and they dare definitely heading for HELL because they say they cannot stop sinning, and they say it is impossible to stop sinning and we are all sinners.

So they are all CRIMINALS and should all be in PRISON and they will definitely end up in HELL.

They should not be allowed on the road. the should not be allowed to drive a motorcar  because if they cannot stick to the rules of the road and if they cannot stay on the road they should not be allowed to drive because they are not only a danger to themselves but to other people also.

If we follow Jesus Christ and have the HOPE of salvation we have to stay on the STRAIGHT AND NARROW ROAD and we have to OBEY Him. We have to SIN NO MORE. No sinners will enter the kingdom of Heaven.

If you are one of those believers who believes that you cannot stop sinning then you do not know Jesus Christ and you are certainly on your way to HELL. Unless you REPENT, STOP SINNING and OBEY Jesus Christ, be BAPTIZED IN WATER, be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT  and FOLLOW the guidance of the Holy Spirit without sinning you will certainly end up in HELL.

Stay on the road or you will perish.

May Jesus bless you.

The Road Ahead

When I look back on my life I remember many mistakes that I made. The biggest mistake that I made was not following Jesus Christ. I knew Jesus from very young but many times I strayed. I went after my own desires, I followed after other people, I listened to other people and then every time I ran into trouble.

But Jesus never left me. He brought me back to Him. I am thankful for all the times that Jesus fetched me back because, like a sheep, I strayed. I went my own way. What is important is not the road along which we came but where we go from now onwards, the road ahead.  There is only one way that leads to life and that is to follow Jesus Christ until the very end. We have all strayed, we have all made mistakes, we have all followed our own mind and listened to other people but the only way that leads to eternal life is to follow Jesus Christ. If we keep on going stray then our life might end while we are on the stray.

The only way to make sure that we end up in the kingdom of God is to be serious and never stray again. Stay with Jesus Christ until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Churches on the WRONG ROAD

Most churches are on the wrong road. They are on the broad road that leads to destruction and they are taking all their members with them. They all use the Bible but they have different teachings. Jesus Christ alone is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE and His teachings are the teachings of eternal life. His words were recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we read those words that Jesus spoke and taught in the gospels and we OBEY them, we REPENT of sin, TURN away from wickedness, are BAPTIZED IN WATER and we obey the words of Jesus then He will reveal Himself to us, He will give His Spirit, the Holy Spirit IN US and He Himself will guide us into all truth.

There is only ONE WAY to eternal life and that is to FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ. If your church does not lead you to Jesus and obedience to HIM then they are leading you to HELL.

Are you following your church and their doctrines or are you following and obeying Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.
