ATTACH YOURSELF TO JESUS


If you want to be part of the kingdom
of God and have eternal life, you have to ATTACH yourself to Jesus,
follow and obey Him until the end. Jesus said: “He who loves father
or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or
daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38“And
he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of
Me. 39“He
who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for
My sake will find it. “ John 10:37-39.
The apostle John wrote: “15Do
not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the
world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For
all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the
eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is
from the world. 17The
world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who
does the will of God lives forever.” 1 John 2:15-17.
Before
we can attach ourselves to Jesus we have to detach ourselves from
everything else. Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters; for
either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted
to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
John 6:24.
Just
believing in Jesus will not save anybody from hell and damnation. We
have to become His disciples, abandon our own plans interests and
ambitions, detach ourselves from the world and the things of the
world, attach ourselves to Jesus and go after Him, follow and obey
Him until the end. We have to live according to the words and
commandments of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
We must seek Jesus in prayer and live in spiritual communion with
Him, in holiness and total dedication to Him.
Have
we attached ourselves to Jesus and are we living for Him and the
kingdom of God? Are we detached from the world and the things of the
world? Is there nothing that holds us back from following Jesus?
May
Jesus bless you.

PROVE YOURSELF


Many believers say that they love Jesus
but they do not follow nor obey Him. Jesus said: " “He who has
My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who
loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will
disclose Myself to him.” ... “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My
words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s
who sent Me." John 14:21,23,24.
We prove our love for Jesus
by obeying Him, His words and His commandments, as recorded in the
gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We also prove our love for
Jesus by following and serving Him. Jesus said:“If anyone serves
Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be
also;"John 12:26.
If we really love Jesus, we will absolutely
obey Him, do as He commanded,  repent  and be baptized, and
go after Him, listen to His voice and follow Him. We will be where He
wants us to be, doing His will.
If we disobey Jesus and refuse to
follow  Him, we prove that we do not love Him, and are not
worthy of Him.
Many believers think they can serve Jesus by
being religious, according to their own plans and visions but they
are mistaken,  we can only serve Jesus and be fruitful for the
kingdom of heaven, if we listen to Him and follow His guidance.
Jesus
discloses Himself to those who prove that they love Him, by obeying
Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in them to be with them, to teach and
guide them. They experience His presence all the time.
Have you
proven your love for Jesus by obeying Him, and are you proving your
love for Him, by following and serving Him?
May Jesus bless you.

DO NOT EXCUSE YOURSELF


Many Christians are always looking for
excuses for sin and sinfulness. They are disqualifying themselves for
the kingdom of God. Sinners will not have eternal life. Without
holiness no one will see God.
Professional athletes subject
themselves to strict diets and rigorous training programs to be
competitive. They do not allow themselves to indulge in anything,
however tempting it might be, that can affect their performance.
They take utmost care to compete in such a way that they will win the
race. They abide by the rules and they mind their steps that they
might not stumble or hurt themselves, because that will disqualify
them. They do not look for, neither do they make excuses because
they know that they will only have themselves to blame if they do not
win the race and get the prize.
Sinners are losers. Sin separates you
from God. Sin disqualifies you for the kingdom of God, even one lie,
a “white “ lie, will soil your garment, and prevent you from
entering heaven. There is no excuse for sin.
Repent, stop sinning, be baptized in
water for the forgiveness of your sin. Be holy. Sin no more. Follow
Jesus until the end and He will give you eternal life. Obey His
teachings and commandments as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Ask Him for His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you and be
with you to guide you into all truth.
Do not look for
excuses. Do not sin. You will only have yourself to blame if you miss
heaven and spend eternity in hell.
May Jesus bless you.

Keep Yourself Clean Pure and Holy





Many Christian believers are living in
sin and unholiness. They are religious, they go to church, they know
the Bible, and they think they are saved, but they have no communion
with Jesus Christ, because they are living in sin. We have to keep
ourselves pure and holy in order to be in communion with Jesus. Jesus
has no communion with sinning believers. Our body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and if we defile our bodies, if we
allow ourselves to be soiled and dirty, filled with sin immorality,
then the Holy Spirit will leave us, we will not have any relationship
with Jesus.
We have to live pure and holy and then
Jesus will come and dwell in us, but if we do not obey Jesus, and we
do not live according to His Commandments, in holiness and
righteousness, in obedience to him then He will not dwell in us we
will not have any communion with Him we will not have the hope of
salvation.
We read the words of Jesus in John
chapter 14 verse 21, He said:"He who has my Commandments and
keeps them is the one who loves Me, and he who loves me will be loved
by My Father, and I will love Him, and I will disclose myself to
Him." Jesus is saying that if we obey His commandments then He
will love, us and He will come and dwell with us and He will disclose
Himself to us. He will speak to us. His Spirit will dwell in us. In
verse 23 we read Jesus said:"If anyone loves Me he will keep my
word, and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make
our abode with him."
Jesus will come and live with you and
me, if we love him and we obey Him, and we keep His words, but we
must keep ourselves pure and holy, because our body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and He does not dwell with
impurity and with sin. If we allow ourselves to be soiled the Holy
Spirit will leave us.
The Apostle Paul wrote in 1st
Corinthians 6 verse 9:" Or do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived, neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards nor
revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were
some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of
our God." We were all sinners, but if we have a come to Jesus we
are not sinners anymore, then we have turned away from sin and we
keep ourselves holy for Jesus Christ, for His Holy Spirit to dwell
in.
In verse 15 Paul says:"Do you not
know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away
the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it
never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a
prostitute is one body with her, for He says the two shall become one
flesh, but the one who joins himself to the Lord is one Spirit with
Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside
of the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you
not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
Whom you have from God and you are not your own, for you have been
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."
Many Christian believers live in
adultery and fornication. Many are homosexual. They live in morality.
Their minds are defiled through the media, video games, TV, movies,
pornography and bad company, worldly friends. They have become
conditioned to evil, watching soap opera, and participating and
worldly entertainment. They are of the world. They are not pure, they
are not holy and they cannot be in communion with Jesus, they have no
hope of salvation. Merely believing in Jesus cannot save us. We must
repent, stop sinning, be holy, turn to Jesus, be baptized in water
for the washing off of sin, and then keep yourself clean, be a temple
of the Holy Spirit, in which He can dwell. If you allow yourself to
be defiled again, then the Holy Spirit will leave you.
If you once knew Jesus, if you once
followed Jesus and you backslid, you went away from Jesus, then
repent and cleanse yourself, get rid of your sin get, rid of your bad
friends. Purify yourself of your cleanliness, your immorality. Make
yourself a pure vessel, clean and acceptable unto Jesus, or else you
will never be in communion with Him.
Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who seek Him, who obey Him and who live holy. Most professing
Christians have no relationship with Jesus. They have no communion
with Jesus. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to
Me and they follow Me." Very few Christians know the voice of
Jesus. Very few follow Him. It is because they're living in sin. It
is because they are not holy and receptive vessels, they are not
pure. They do not reserve themselves unto Jesus Christ and therefor
they are not fit for the kingdom of heaven.
We have to purify
ourselves of all uncleanliness, all immorality, all sin, all
worldliness, and put our focus on Jesus; be a suitable vessel for the
Holy Spirit to dwell in, and then He will speak to us. He will guide
us. He will teach us. We will be in communion with Him, but if we
allow sin to come in, if we give the devil a foothold, then the Holy
Spirit of Christ will leave us. He will go silent on us, because we
choose evil, and through our choice of wrong and of evil we reject
Jesus Christ and we stray from Him, we stop following Him and go on
the wrong path.
Many have never followed Jesus. They
have never been in that close relationship with Him. They believe
they are saved but they are on the broad road to destruction. There's
only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and obey
Jesus Christ, reserve yourself unto Him, seek Him always in prayer
and He will reveal Himself to you. Stay with Jesus until the very end
and you will be saved, but if you are not holy you will not see Him.
Without holiness no man shall see God. Without holiness no man will
enter the kingdom of God. Without holiness nobody will have any
relationship with Jesus Christ. Keep yourself clean and walk with
Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

Save Yourself



Jesus Christ is coming. He
is coming in his wrath and His fury and His power. He is coming to
judge the world. He will reward every man according to their deeds.
All sinners will be thrown into the lake of fire.
Every knee will bow and
every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, even those who
rejected Him, who mocked Him and who disobeyed Him. But for them it
will be too late because they will end up in Hell, in eternal
damnation. Jesus Christ is coming. Are you ready? Save yourself from
the wrath to come.
Repent and turn away from
evil. Seek Jesus while you can. Stop sinning and be holy. No sinners
will enter His kingdom. Jesus Christ is coming to judge the world.
Are you ready for Him? Are you ready to stand judgment? Believing in
Jesus will not save you if you do not repent. Save yourself from the
wrath to come. If you are standing on a railway line and the train
is coming you have to save yourself, get out of the way. You have to
save yourself from the wrath of God that is coming. You have to stop
sinning. Save yourself from this wicked generation. Come out from
among them. Be pure and be holy.
Obey Jesus Christ. Repent,
stop sinning, be baptized in water, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
and be led by the Holy Spirit. Save yourself from the wrath to come,
if you don't you will perish. Jesus Christ is coming. Are you ready?
Are you pure and are you holy? Is Jesus Christ pleased with your
works? Make sure while you can. Seek Jesus while you can.
May Jesus bless you.

Check your motives



Many Christian believers
are disappointed with Jesus Christ. Many of them are resentful; they
are even mad at Him because they feel that they are not getting what
they deserve. Many have been seeking after the baptism in the Holy
Spirit for years. Others want to hear the voice of God. They pray,
they ask Jesus to speak to them and they hear nothing. Others want
assurances off Jesus, but they get nothing.
These people need to check
their motives. They need to examine themselves, because Jesus called
us to be His witnesses. It is our duty to bring glory to Him. We
should not be entitled, we do not deserve anything, but we are called
to bring glory to our Lord and Master. Jesus said:"Seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things
will be added unto you." If we come to Jesus as beggars, if we
always want things our way, if we are disgruntled, disappointed,
anxious, despondent, it is because our motives are wrong. We are
focused on ourselves and our selfish desires, we should bring glory
to Jesus. That is our purpose.
If we live for Jesus and
to bring glory to Him then we will not even need to ask for what we
need. He gladly gives to His children whatever they need even before
they ask, because He is a good God. He is a good father, but if we
are selfish and ambitious and we want things for ourselves then we
have forgotten what the kingdom of God is about. It is all about
Jesus. All the glory, all the honor all the praise goes to Jesus. We
deserve nothing. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Once you start
thanking Jesus, praising Him, witnessing for Him, giving Him glory
then the joy of Jesus Christ will fill your heart and you will
receive more than you ever thought, more than you ever needed. Bring
glory to Jesus and He will lift you up.
May Jesus bless you.

Deny Yourself - What It Means



Jesus said that whoever wishes to come after Him must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and follow Him. Many believers want to know what it means to deny yourself. The most important person in the life of every human is himself, his own preservation, his own comfort, his own ambitions, his own opinion, everything about himself; and Jesus says that if we wish to come after Him we must say no to self. We must deny our self our own rights, our own pleasures, our own opinion and we must submit ourselves to Jesus. We must live for Him for His kingdom, for His approval.

The most important person in your life is then no longer you, but Jesus and that is why he taught us to pray:"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done." It is no longer my will be done, but it is God's will to be done. Unless we are willing to deny our self, to say no to our self, and live to please Jesus, to make Him the most important person in our life, then we cannot be His disciple, we cannot follow Him, we cannot please Him and we cannot enter his kingdom. That is the price, the cost of discipleship. We must say no to ourselves and yes to Jesus. We must deny ourselves and serve Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself



Some believers are forever correcting others, telling them what they should be doing. we only need to worry about ourselves. Is Jesus Christ pleased with you and me? Are we doing what He wants us to do?

We cannot fix other people, but Jesus can fix all of us if we submit to Him, if we follow Him and stay with Him. I cannot help you, neither can anybody else help you. That is why my advice to you is:"Go to Jesus."

Mind your own walk with Jesus. Get serious with Jesus and He will guide you into all truth. Worry about yourself and do not meddle with other people.

If we follow Jesus and do what He requires of us, then we will bear fruit and bring others to Him as well.

May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself



Many so-called Christian believers attack me and others who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. They want to correct us and accuse us of preaching a WORKS BASED gospel. The gospel of Jesus Christ is based on WORKS.

Jesus Christ will judge every man according to their DEEDS, what they have done.

My message to those who attack me and want to correct me is:  WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF. Each of us will stand before Jesus Christ and give account to Him for what we have done or neglected to do.

Dear friend, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR and TREMBLING. God is watching us.

May Jesus bless you.

You cannot baptize yourself


To be BAPTIZED IN WATER is a COMMAND, an ORDINANCE, a MANDATE of Jesus Christ to all those who believe in Him for salvation.

Jesus also commanded His disciples, as we read in Mark 16:15,16  'He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but he who has disbelieved will be condemned.”'

You cannot baptize yourself. You have to be baptized by another follower of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ showed us THE WAY. We have to follow His COMMANDS and follow His EXAMPLE, DO like He did and BE like He showed us to be. Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist.

We read in Matthew 3:13  '“Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Then he permitted Him.'

The words of Jesus Christ are RIGHTEOUSNESS for those who OBEY Him. He JUSTIFIES those who OBEY His words. Those who disobey Him are already condemned.

The words of Jesus are not open for interpretation or modification. We either obey Him and do as he commanded or we reject Him and we perish. Salvation through Jesus Christ is for those who OBEY Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Control Yourself SIN NO MORE


The wages of sin is death, if you sin you will burn in hell. You have to CONTROL YOURSELF and STOP SINNING or you will perish. People say that they cannot stop sinning but they believe satan's lies. Many people are addicted to nicotine, tobacco,  but they can abstain from smoking on a Trans-Atlantic flight, for 18 hours they can go without smoking, even though they are addicted. The same people who say that they cannot stop sinning can go for a job interview, control themselves, for 30 minutes, and just say the right things to make sure that they get the job. People go to all kinds of lengths to impress people. They can BEHAVE THEMSELVES for and hour, a day, a week because they really want something but when it comes to SINNING the BELIEVE that they cannot stop sinning.
You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you cannot control yourself. If you cannot control yourself and you are FORCED (compelled) to do certain things then you are DEMON POSSESSED and you NEED DELIVERANCE.
Jesus Christ sets you FREE from all bondage and He puts you in CONTROL so that you can FOLLOW HIM. Jesus Christ will not control you, He will not FORCE you, He will GUIDE you but YOU have to CONTROL YOURSELF, STOP SINNING, FOLLOW HIM  and DO what He commands you to do. You VOLUNTARILY follow Jesus Christ. You  follow Him because you WANT TO.
The reason why people do not stop sinning is because they do not think that Jesus sees them. They think that they can keep on sinning and get into heaven – that is a lie from satan! If you SIN YOU WILL BURN. Without holiness no man shall see God. To be holy means to be PURE, clean, without spot or blemish, not one single sin, not one white lie, not one impure thought. You have to CONTROL YOURSELF, control your mind, control your thoughts, control your deeds, get your focus on Jesus Christ, follow Him and DO what is pleasing to Him  or you will perish.
If you do not CONTROL YOURSELF and FOLLOW Jesus Christ, press on into the kingdom of God then you will not enter, you will not have eternal life. You have to control yourself and FOLLOW HIM, resist the devil and he will flee from you, but follow Jesus. Control yourself and follow Jesus until the very, very end.  Only those who endure until the very end will make it, only they will be saved. Control yourself and follow Jesus Christ or you will perish.
May Jesus bless you.
