House On The Rock

The word of God teaches us that “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent. Has He said and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19.

I am amazed at the manner with which we have and are presenting God to the world as if He was a man.

Humanity is different from Divinity.

God is sovereign and His counsel stand Supreme over the counsel of man.

As an African by birth, our tradition taught us about that power of divinity.

No true African can deny the fact that spirits are real. Their world is real, there assignment is real. John 10:10

Some of us were delivered from their hands through the death and resurrection power of Jesus Christ to good works which God ordained before the foundation of the world and so coming out of that background, we know that spirit realm is real.

I have also come to know that this is true of other culture in the continent of the world but I will build my case on my African root.

Spirits speak.

Now in Christ we know their testimony is not true but back then, before we believe and accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord of our lives, the words of these spirits and their priests were taken serious and never questions.

Now in Christ, (glory be to God,) those of us who have made Jesus Christ Saviour and Lord should not forget that God is the God of all the spirits of all flesh and the creator of all spirits. His word is held Supreme over all the words of all spirits. Numbers 27:16

We read in the Book of 2 Chronicles 18:18-22, the account of Micaiah before Ahab king of Israel.

“I saw in Heaven the Lord sitting on His throne and all the Host of Heaven standing on His right hand and His left. And the Lord said, “Who will persuade Ahab the king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead? So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will persuade him’ The Lord said to him, in what way? So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, you shall persuade him and also prevail, go out and do so. Therefore look, the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours and the Lord has declared disaster against you.’

Ladies and Gentlemen, I come to inform you through this message that God is not a man that he should lie. If He says peace there is peace, but right now what is the point of saying peace when there is no peace and we have deceived many “in the name of the Lord” saying “the Lord told me to tell you that you are to go in peace, you shall prosper and all our messages have centred on physical blessings when you yourself know that your work right now will definitely not give birth to peace!

I am of opinion that many of us are under the influence of lying spirits from Heaven. As it was in the day of Ahab, so it is today.

Ahab was a weak king who submitted himself to the wicked counsel of his wife Jezebel and as a result of this, God pronounced His judgement on his entire household including his wife Jezebel.

As God is not a man, what He said came to pass.

Let us look into our lives now.

What made us to believe that we will live a covetous “Jones” lifestyle and not pay the price of such lifestyle if we refuse to repent?

Is it because we know how to pray, fast and associate ourselves with certain men and women of God?

Is it because we tithe and give so call offerings to our churches or because we run charity work to cover our wickedness?

Who has bewitched us like Paul said to the Galatians! To think that we can be as canal as we can be, and expect the Spirit of Christ to empower us is unbelievable. Ok I get it, we are empowered alright especially us who are supposed to be custodian of the Truth but not by the Holy Spirit but by lying spirit to cause many to stumble from faith!

Beloved God is never moved by polluted offerings from heart that is corrupt and wicked. Please read what the Psalmist wrote in Psalm 50:7-15.

We have become a generation that refuse listen to the word of God especially because we live in a civilised society. We have become so civilised that we made ourselves to become pals with God of Heaven.

In the African religions no one dare made the gods their pals. The words of the gods through their priests are final authorities.

Our daughters are marrying pagans just to be seen to marry, even some are marrying heathen for right to live in UK, afterwards they dump them and we smile all the way to the altar. Our sons are on the altar of Jezebel and with women who are turning their hearts away from the living God and no one is saying anything. Have we forgotten the story of Solomon so soon?
All that we do now is partying every Saturday and go to church on Sunday to fulfil our religious duty. Oh I forget, Friday night of prayer, Saturday party (for some after choir practice) Sunday Service and we drop the dollar from last night party in the basket (in a country where Sterling is the currency) and we Pastors smile that we have heard a great service today! Is there no one who will cry out to God for TRUE AND FRESH FIRE TO START FROM SUCH PULPIT OF BAAL?

Remember, God is not a man.

I want you to consider for a minute what He allowed His Son to go through on the Cross in order for my sins and yours to be judged.

What do you think will happen to those who continue to walk in an ungodly manner without repentance?

A man was given opportunity to repent but he said he was not ready. He said he will do so when he is ready. Unfortunately he was never ready till he met his “Waterloo”.

Time is running out beloved. Remember God is not a man. Purpose in your heart to change before change is enforced on you.

It is with sincere love that I communicate this message to you as I do not want you to miss the greatest event of the ages.

RAPTURE!

I have been told that according to the scripture some will be tribulation saints. Yes this is true but you should not live your life to be one.

You see beloved, I believe we are product of our choices after Salvation. You did not choose Jesus, He chose you before the foundation of the world and since your Salvation is not of your making but by His grace, the choice you made after that is yours. You become what you believe by choice and what you believe is shaped by what you hear, read or see. These are all ancient truth that modernisation cannot take away from us.

When was the last time you listen to the news about the political events happening around the world lately? Some of us take it as if it is not your business after all “the press never tell us the truth anyway”

There is element of truth in that approach to the press but to ignore what they say in the news is to live deliberately as a blind man at the edge of a cliff.

My advice is to hear and look into the matter yourself (am not talking about rape and murder cases; even with that, it is often proved that the culprit is a close person known to its victim etc.)
Political stories often hold the clue to end time prophecy.

Beloved, let us not live our lives with settlement mentality. We are going Home very soon!

You may say where is Home?

Home is Heaven.
By the way, Heaven is not for moral people. The best of our morality cannot take us through the Gate. It is only accessed by accepting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord. All our righteousness are like filthy rags. No man can stand in the Presence of Holy God in their morality. We must be born again. That which is born of the flesh is the flesh but that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.

To be born again is to acknowledge that in you there is nothing good and you need the saving grace of Jesus Christ into your life.

You may not kill but that does not mean that if exposed to someone with attempt to kill you, your “wife” “husband”, your children, you will want to defend yourself or even your loved ones. The tendency and potential is in all of us to do so. Sinful Adamic nature is unpredictable.

The followings are important at this point.

If you have not made Jesus your Saviour and Lord please see the following steps to take:

• Acknowledge that you are a sinner

• Admit and confess your sins

• Ask God through Jesus to forgive you of your sins

• Invite Jesus Christ to come into your life to be your Saviour and your Lord

• Ask the Holy Spirit to come and help you live the life of Christ in and through you.

I want to hear your testimony

Now if you are my paddy (for the people with such language) or brethren through the Redeeming Blood of Jesus Christ the good news is that we are going Home soon!

Our redemption drew near! I am not saying you should resign from your job that will be an act of irresponsibility, neither walk away from your family, do not stop living. Get busy living His life in you to the fullest! Occupy till we are called.

“But I do not want you to be ignorant brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no home. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

When was the last time you hear this type of passage read out to you in your church assembly?

Some claim it is only those who want to escape the world that teaches such message, some claim it is for those who are not productive. If you are productive you will not even think about such because you are busy.

I ask you this question? If you are made an Ambassador of your nation to a foreign nation and at the back of your mind you will not be in foreign land permanently, will you not consciously remind yourself of the day you will go back to your Home country and with that mind-set knowing that you will return to give account to your Head of State, will you not do all in your power to serve your nation to the best of your ability with the resources at your disposal? The resources at your disposal include:

Free accommodation, financial security, security and secret service agents who watch to protect you and your family till you fulfil your charge, the diplomat building which is under the jurisdiction of your sending nation. Opportunity to be invited to key functions in your host nations where the interest of your Home nation will be presented, the list is endless and in case of major crisis arising in the host nation, you will be recall back to your Home nation!

We are in such situation now. We have been enjoying all these resources (only our greed and the fact that we lost focus of who we are and our assignment has robbed us of abundance of the above resources).

Crisis is mounting up in our Host nations and the people in our Host nations are tired of their governments. They are crying for self-rule. Those under self-rule are also tired of the government they voted into power. I am glad I am an elect child of God without human election so no man need be tired to vote me out of government.

Democracy is the rule of the people by the people.

Beloved our Head of State will soon recall us Home. Re-align yourself with His agenda in your Host nation wherever you are in the world that He sent you to and be expectant.

We are going pretty soon!

Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus!
