Manifold Grace of God (CW48)

   World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words

John 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

    Grace is freely given to men so that we will know truth, which will set us free from the snares of Satan. Grace is the unmerited favour (empowering, mercy, etc.) of God at the expense of His Son Jesus, on condition that we believe and receive Him (New Covenant) .

John 1:12  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

A. Saving Grace - unmerited favour

Eph 2:8  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

   To obtain God's saving grace, we must walk out our faith by doing the following:-

1. believe that Jesus the Son of God was the Word made flesh, He died on the cross as the propiation for our sins and on the third day He rose having victory over death,

2. acknowledge that we are sinners by confessing our sins,

3. accept and confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior,

4. believe that we are now the temple of God with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as His seal.

    Only after walking out this faith in Him, can we receive His grace of salvation.

Rom 10:9  that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

B. Manifold Grace of God

1Pet 4:10-11  As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

   Similarly, God will grant to those who fulfills the conditions for receiving each of His manifold grace.

1. Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts

Acts 19:2,5-6  he said to them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"  So they said to him, "We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.".. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

    The Holy Spirit and His gifts are given to those who are saved and also believe and desire them.

1Cor 14:1  Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2. Empowering for good Works

1Cor 15:10  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

3. Empowering for Holy living

Heb 12:14-15  Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

4. Building the Temple of God

1Cor 3:9-11  For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

    Brethren, these are only a few examples of the manifold grace of God given to help His sheep.

Knowledge of God (CW47)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Exceedingly Precious Promise

2 Pet 1:2-4  Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust._

   We thank God for the exceeding great and precious promises and His divine power through the knowledge of God, that men can be perfected, being partakers of the divine nature, which is our transformation into His image.

Obedience to Perfection

    In 2nd Peter, God has shown us a step by step to perfection. So, if we diligently follow the instructions and with the understanding of the seven Spirits of God, it will be easy to trace our walk with Jesus to perfection.

2 Pet 1:5  But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,

1. Spirit of the Lord - Faith

    As soon as one is saved, he is giving the Holy Spirit. From the Bible he will begin to know Him and find his faith in Him and His word.

2. Spirit of Wisdom - Virtue

add to your faith virtue

    a man of virtue is a wise man - one who does what he believes (faith) or doer of the word.

Mat 7:24  "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:"

3. Spirit of Knowledge

add to virtue knowledge

    Having kept His word, he now understand it. He can be a teacher.

2 Pet 1:6  to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,

4. Spirit of Counsel

add to knowledge self-control

    One who can control oneself from sins and evil thoughts, and helps and counsels his sheep to righteous living - a fatherly figure or pastor

5. Spirit of Might

add to self-control perseverance

    One who can endure pains and sufferings reaching out to the unreached - an evangelist

6. Spirit of the Knowledge of the Lord

add to perseverance godliness or godlikeness

    One who understands the very heartbeat of God - His will, delights, pleasures, ways and sadness. He is worthy to be His prophet

7. Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

2 Pet 1:7   to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.

    One, who fears that his good and righteous works are done without the sincere love of the brethren - an apostle of the Lord.

Five Fold Ministries

Eph 4:11  And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

    These are Jesus' anointed servants.

Doers of the Word

2 Pet 1:8   For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    A doer of the Word of God will be fruitful in the knowledge of Christ, and he will be able to walk in the light with Him until perfection.

The Spirituality Blind

2 Pet 1:9  For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

    All those rejecting the words and commandments of Christ are spiritually blind. Without the truth and the knowledge of God, they are just mouthing out worldly opinions, which are outright nonsense in their walk with God. They will always distort the truth and promote wrong doctrines and heresy.

New Covenant of Jesus (CW46)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

   The bible, both Old and New Testaments, comprises covenants of God made with men.

    The Old Covenant was made with the Israelites and followers of the Mosaic Law of the Old Covenant were called Jews.

   The New Covenant of Jesus' blood was made with all men and believers of the Gospel of Christ are called Christians.

Heb 8:13  In that He says,  "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Rev 3:20  "If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

  So when we fulfill the 'if', then our faithful God will fulfil His part by granting us more grace. Heresies are usually doctrines where the 'if' is left out

John 14:23a  Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;..."

    We can sing, proclaim, declare and say that we love God. According to God, if we have not kept His word, we do not love Him.

John 15:24a  "He who does not love Me does not keep My words;.."

John 15:14-16   "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you."

'whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.'

    The above is the favourite verse of preachers of prosperity gospel, positive confession, extra grace and other heresies. This promise is given only to Jesus' friends who have kept His commands.

John 14:15-17, 26  "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.... But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

    Similarly, we cannot get the anointing of the Spirit of truth to enable us to understand His truth, will, prophecies, teachings, unless we keep His words.

John 16:13-14  "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you."

    Brethren, if you have signed a contract and yet without fulfilling the contract of payments, you demand the delivery of the house, then your action is lawlessness and wickedness.

    Similarly, all these blind, lawless and wicked Christians blaspheme God's name by demanding Him to keep His promise of blessing them when they have not kept their part of the contract of loving Him by keeping His word and commands.

Brethren, remember the 'ifs' , which will guide you to Him or warn you of sufferings, or damnation. Please keep away from all these wrong doctrines and heresies. Keep His word and commandments, and then our loving Father will manifest in you His joy, peace and love. He will also remind you of your needs, the help, miracles, and healing that you have forgotten to ask Him. Amen.

Last Days Saints (CW45)

    World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Dan 11:32b  "but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits."

   Christians, who know their God, are strong in their faith in Jesus and His words.

    They believe that He is the Almighty God who is the Creator of heaven and earth and to Him nothing is impossible.

1. He will reveal the End-time truth, will and plans (esp.  World War 3)

2. He can anoint and empower us to do great exploits (healings, miracles, etc) 

3. He can protect us in WW3

Psalm 91:9-11  Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

4. He can provide us with food,  light, water, electricity and gas to our home during World War 3 when the towns and cities are in complete darkness.

   

Great sufferings during World War 3 (4th  Seal)

Rev 6:8  So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

   WW3 will see the destruction of powerplants, factories, transportation, farmlands, warehouses. Without power, fuel and transportations, everything will grind to a halt. Food will be left to rot in farmlands, warehouses and places of storage. Along with the natural calamities of great earthquakes, huge tsunamis, pestilences, plagues, famines, everyone will starve and this will be worse than the starvation during the siege of Jerusalem where parents ate their babies and little children. Plagues from camels, pigs, dogs, cats and rats, (beasts) will be responsible for the death of many.

Last Days Saints

Col 3:12  Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

   These last days Christians who love the Lord keep His words. They will be led by the Spirit of truth to know the truth about God, His words, will, plans, time and seasons and endtime prophecies and events since they are living in the last days.

   They know that World War 3 is around the corner and mankind will suffer greatly from insecurities, pains, sicknesses, wounds, sufferings and fear of theft, robberies and death, starvation, loss of loved ones, and this is the ripe time and ready for harvest. Christians are entrusted with the responsibility of comforting, caring, feeding, evangelizing and discipling them.

   So they have prepared themselves for this great End-time harvest (for faith without works is dead) in:-

1. Comfort and Care – learn from charitable homes for children, aged, handicap. Be sheep in Mat 25:33-46.

2. Feeding – Those starving will come daily for food and when they see the empty containers being filled up by prayers, and also the many other miracles, they will glorify God by accepting Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

3. Discipling – stock up bibles and hymn books in appropriate languages for your area so that His pure words are taught.

4. Understanding endtime prophecies is important for the new converts' faith will increase when they rejoice seeing the prophecies of our Lord being fulfilled one by one in chronological order as recorded in Mat 24.

The Horrific Fourth Seal (CW44)

     World War 3 is at Hand

Judgment of God

1 Pet 4:17-18  For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God. Now "If the righteous one is scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?"

    The wickedness, lawlessness and abominations against God make the West (so-called Christian nations), unlivable to bible believing Christians. God will use WW3 to judge the world starting from His house (church and countries). All apostates and heretics, abominable, unmerciful, lawless, carnal and covetous pastors, false prophets, leaders and televangelists will be killed, so that He can prepare the bride of the Lamb for Rapture.

Rev 14:6-7  Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."

    As nations after nations are dragged into WW3, godly and bible believing Christians will rise up to help, care and miraculously feed all those affected. The love of Christians and the miracles of God will convince the heathens including Muslims to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. This endtime harvest just before rapture will be the greatest ever. So brethren, be ready to be involved in His endtime harvest.

Rev 14:8  And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."

   The mighty US and the West will be defeated because through UN they force their abominable human rights (especially sodomy) upon all nations.

Judges 2:14-15  And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for calamity, as the Lord had said, and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

    Similarly, God will judge and fight against the abominable West by allowing the jihadists and sympathizers to sabotage their own countries (West). Nations after nations will be handed over to the Iranian conquerors.

Mat 24:7  For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

    A quarter of mankind will be killed during this period of the beginning of sorrows or Fourth Seal by bombs, missiles, famines, diseases, pestilences, earthquakes and tsunamis.

Nuclear Bunkers and Shelters

Rev 6:15-16  And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!"

   God even prophesied that during the last days the faithless rich and powerful with their servants will hide in underground bunkers and shelters to escape the WMD warfare and fallouts.

Love covers a multitude of sins.

Brethren, repent from worldliness, carnality, covetousness, which are the results of distorted truth and heresies for

  the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins." Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.   (1 Pet 4:7-10)

Last Days Christian's Perils - 5 (CW43)

   World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Christians becoming Satan's Cohorts

Dan 11:32a   " Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery (deception);"

   In the last days, misled Christians will do wickedly against the New Covenant of the blood of Jesus and unknowingly serve Satan.

   These wolves who had turned their ears away from truth are Christian leaders, whose distorted truth, heresies and abominable practices blaspheme the holy name of Jesus.

2Cor 11:13-15  For such are false apostles deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Savage Wolves in the New Testament Church

Act 20:29-30   For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

    Paul prophesied these heretic savage wolves since the days of the New Testament church and in the last days they will reveal themselves as the cohorts of Satan by approving and promoting sins leading to death (e.g. homosexuality, same sex marriages, heresies).

   These cohorts have destroyed the faith of Christians in Jesus and His words with their demonic doctrines and heresies.

Last Days Antichrists

1Jn 2:18-19  Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so when (now) a number of antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour. They went out from us but they were not of us; if they had been of us they would still be with us: but they went out from us so that it might be made clear that they were not of us. (BBE)

    Before the End-time Antichrist (man of sin or the Devil's incarnate) appears, many antichrists (false christs or fallen church leaders) will reveal themselves with their heresies and abominable sins, behaviours and practices (e.g sodomy, covetousness).

Fallen Pastors

2 Tim 4:3-4  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

    Today, false teachers with their destructive heresies, which were welcomed by many Christians, have brought damnation to Christian nations, church leaders and Christians. Some of the common heresies are:-

1. Partially keep the Law - thinking that they are holier than thou. These Judaizers willfully forget that they have fallen from the grace of Jesus if they do not repent damnation awaits them.

2. Sodomy - approved by Bishops Gene Robinson and Mary Glasspool and most of the Clergies in US and the West, Pope Francis, President Obama, liberal Christians, etc.

3. Reducing the bible, which is the infallible word of God, to fables and history (e.g Daniel, Epistles)

4. Prosperity gospel produces covetous pastors, church leaders and televangelists who (without the fear of God) lie in their testimonies, healings, miracles, etc.

5. Robbing God - hoarding God's money in the last days thereby depriving His many ministries from the much needed finance.

6. Secret Rapture - Christians do not have to go through the great tribulation thereby reducing Jesus' teaching of end time signs as lies.

7. Once saved always saved, produces untransformed Christians who are without good works - merciless, unloving, selfish and even wicked.

1Pet 4:17a  For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God;

   Repent brethren for His judgment is the coming World War 3.

Last Days Christian's Perils - 4 (CW42)

   World War 3 is at Hand

While we wait for Israel and the West to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities to start World War 3, let's check our own Christian faith, doctrine and knowledge of Him and His words.

Days of Noah

Luke 17:26-27  And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

   In the days of Noah, why did God send the deluge to wipe out the entire human race (except for Noah's family)?

Gen 6:5-6  Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

   Before Rapture mankind will  be as wicked as those in the days of Noah, There is no fear of the Lord and the love for one another is absent. Christians and churches are building their own empires. They are selfish, disobedient, unloving, unfaithful, rebellious, heretics and hypocrites.

2 Tim 3:1-5  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud,  blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Days of Lot

Luke 17:28-29  Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

   What abomination did Sodom and Gomorrah commit for God to annihilate them?

Jude 1:7  as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

    God annihilated Sodom and Gomorrah with fire and brimstone for the abominable homosexuality, which is a sin leading to death.

   Homosexuality is depraved, shameful and unacceptable legally and socially and same sex marriages were unheard of until this generation.

   Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, the West (esp US and EU) comprises former Christian nations, churches and Christians who have approved and accepted homosexuality and same sex marriages, will be annihilated in World War 3.

Rom 1:21,26-32  because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened... For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness...

love will cover a multitude of sins

1 Pet 4:7-8  But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for "love will cover a multitude of sins."

   Brethren, love your poor and needy brethren. Unless you repent of having fallen to the perils of the last days - wickedness, unloving, unmerciful, unforgiving, heaping up treasures in the last days, approving and accepting homosexuality and same sex marriages, etc., you will definitely be killed in the coming World War 3 and then condemned to Hades.
