Following Your Leader To Fulfil Your Calling

Following your leader to fulfil your calling

2Kings 1&2

Biblical principal: – The teaching is focusing upon what our attitude as Christians should be towards God and God’s house. 

The initial verses of the first chapter talk about Ahab and his son Ahaziah.  Ahaziah is following in his father’s footsteps in his wickedness and continued to give glory to false gods.  After an accident he was bedridden and he sent for prophets of Baalzebub the false god to prophecy to him regarding his recovery. 

The father’s example today will determine the footsteps of his sons tomorrow. Every step taken by fathers should be taken with the intention of helping his sons and daughters tomorrow. God in His mercy has given us His Word to guide us how He wants us to live. 

Fathers need to be aware of every step they take, every word they speak and every action they make. Your children are watching you and will learn how you treat with your wife, how you behave with people, who your friends are and with whom you fellowship. That is why your life should reflect a life of quality praising God. 

God is very angry with king Ahaziah for consulting with false gods and sends Elijah His prophet to prophesy to him about his condition leading to death. 

Prophet Elijah is fearless of authorities to speak the words of the Lord. The power to speak fearlessly comes from the Holy Spirit. We need to ask to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily to be able to stand and speak boldly the Word of the Lord with His Power. When preachers become man pleasers instead of God pleasers, churches become cold and lukewarm. 

Versus 9-13 talks about how believers should not pray for baptism of fire as this baptism is for meant for unbelievers who reject Christ. We also learnt that humility is the best step to find God’s favor but it is the most difficult thing to have when we are blessed with everything in life. It is on our knees that we will see the mercy of God. 

We need to be very sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit like Elijah who is quick to obey the Lord when He tells him to stay silent or when He leads him to go and speak. At the same time when we come to the house of God, our desire should be to listen to what God is saying to us rather than what the preacher thinks or what is pleasant to our ears. If we delight in listening to the words of man rather than God, we will go out into the world and turn out wretched sinners instead of being transformed into Godly children of the Almighty. 

In chapter 2, after the fulfilment of the prophesy on Ahaziah’s death, Elijah is preparing himself to be taken up. Elijah knew that Elisha would go through a difficult process if he followed him from Gilgal, to Bethel, to Jericho, and then to Jordan. So, he discourages Elisha from following him. But Elisha is persistent on following the man of God and to follow God. In today’s world it is very easy for people to get offended by other people in the church or the preaching from the pulpit. They feel betrayed and due to the offence, they opt for an easy solution by stopping to go to church and stopping to serving God. Church is not about us but it is all about Jesus. Among the 12 apostles one betrayed Christ for some money. But the 11 didn’t forsake Jesus but kept their eyes upon Him. We need to follow Christ and keep our eyes focused upon Him. Peter while walking on water moved his focus on his surrounding and began to drown. Many of us drown in our spiritual life because we move our focus to other people instead of fixing our focus onto Jesus. When we have decided to follow Jesus and no turning back, we sometimes drown because we turn to our sides which is an easy distraction. 

 

 

 

Elisha insists on following Elijah wherever he goes and refuses to go back. Even though the sons of the prophets discouraged Elisha he refused to move his focus. Today if we want to be the one chosen by God to stand up and replace an Elijah, we need to be the person who is willing to go on God’s time from Gilgal to Bethel to Jericho and to Jordan. In humility willing to sacrifice everything like Elisha who made himself available and wanted to learn how to serve and learn everything else from Elijah. Even though Elijah himself told him not to follow him, Elisha continued to follow everything, learn everything and see everything so he could serve God better. If we need to serve God better, we need to learn this kind of diligence from Elisha. 

Like the sons of the prophets who came to discourage Elisha, in today’s time the worldly people know that the Christians are talking about the Lord’s coming and the rapture is going to take place but they are not willing to obey and follow Jesus. The return of Christ and the rapture is not a fantasy but the truth and a fact. 

When worldly people discourage us from following Jesus Christ, we need to speak boldly and say, “hold your peace. “

There may be many in our lives who will stand at a distance to find faults in our Christian walk. We should not be discouraged.  The Lord is a forgiving God. While we are following the Lord sometimes, we may stumble and fall. But we should not stay there. We should ask the Lord for forgiveness, keep our eyes focused on Him, get up and follow the Lord again. His mercy endures forever. His grace is unmerited favor. 

Elijah used his mantle for his last miracle in dividing the waters of the Jordan just like the dividing of the Red Sea. Both the men of God pass through dry land.   There is a difference between those who watch from a distance and those who are baptized in the Jordan. The difference is the onlookers and those who walk with the Lord and decide to serve him. 

There is a reward for those who follow the Lord till they end. And there is also a reward in following the man of God the Lord puts in our lives. Learning submission is key to be able to fulfil the will of God in this area. Those who aren’t able to submit become bitter and are not able to serve the Lord whole heartedly. Great rewards follow those who follow the Lord radically. Elisha is an example for us to be radical. When we are not going through the best time in our life, we still need to worship God. We were not worthy but God in His mercy still forgave us, He still loved us. 

2Kings2:9 talks about what Elisha asks from Elijah before he is taken. He doesn’t ask for any worldly blessing, for health or for wealth. But a double portion of the spirit that was upon him. The aggressiveness, the boldness, the fearlessness, the unshakable faith, the compassionate spirit, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of prophecy. He asked for a double portion of his Spirit to serve God better. 

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭

We need to put God first and genuine miracles will happen before our eyes. Our God is a wonderful God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Man may reject us, but God will forgive us and accept us. This is our God and His name is Jesus.

God the king with a sharp sickle in His hand

God the king with a sharp sickle in His hand

Revelation 14:14-20

Biblical principal: – by rejecting Jesus Christ, men makes the choice to go to hell and God rewards your choice.

 

While getting back into the book of Revelation in the 1st verse, we studied four things. 

1. White cloud 2. Son of Man 3. Golden crown 4. Sharpsickle

As per the four books of the Gospel we understand that the Son of Man is a reference to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus at His first coming was seen to have come as a servant, born in a manger and came to Jerusalem on a donkey. But unlike His first coming, His second coming will not be as a servant, rather as a King, with a golden crown. At His first coming He came as God-the Son, to seek and save the lost. But at His second, He will come on a horse, with a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. This signifies that He is coming as a King, to judge that which is lost, to punish and to condemn. Love, compassion and forgiveness over thousands of years has been taken for granted and man chose to reject Him. As a king judges and destroys what is not his, during His second coming, 

Jesus will do the same. He is not coming to love the sinners but to judge them. 

As a cross reference Daniel 7:13-14 also talks about the Son of man coming with the clouds. In Revelation 17 we will see that the antichrist is ruling the earth and already we see a lot of things have been happening with the Lord’s people. What has been written thousands of years ago, is happening now. Christians are being persecuted and tortured by unbelievers. Believers are not accepted without being blamed for converting people. People who don’t believe in Jesus as the living God, hate that which is true and are blinded to worship idols. Those who carry the true Gospel are hated because the spirit of Antichrist is already at work. During this time the Lord is preparing to defeat the reign of antichrist and take revenge for the sake of the believers, by pouring out His wrath. We are not called to take revenge from our end as the Bible says vengeance belongs to the Lord. 

A sickle which is used during harvesting, symbolises the farmer who sows and reaps at harvest time. Reflecting on the parable of the Sower, we are reminded of the different soil where the Word is sowed. When the seed of the Word is sowed the sometimes the evil one comes and takes it away through doubt or fear during troubles. There maybe some of us who are eager to sit and listen to the God’s Word, but there may be others who have negative thoughts about the preaching due to the works of the evil one. Hence it is very important for us, to pray before sitting under the preaching of God’s Word. Our prayer should be for our hearts to be ploughed to prepare for the sowing of God’s Word. We need to reflect on our lives to understand in which of the four soils we categorise. Even when the seed grows, we can think we are wheat but may actually be tares. The Lord discouraged the pulling of the tares lest the wheat also be damaged along with it. And we may end up growing thinking we are wheat but are actually tares. If we are not truly saved in the church, we may think we are wheat, but are actually tares. We cannot be considered Christians because we are in church, because we are born in Christian homes or because of our outward actions. We become children of God when we understand and believe in the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him. And if we are in the church without these, then we are tares. 

When the Lord comes to reap the harvest with the sharp sickle He will cut the wheat along with the tares, collecting the wheat and burning the tares. We do not want to be among the tares to be cut with the sickle and burn in hell. But we want to be in the presence of God when He comes with a sharp sickle. For this we need to be saved right now by understanding that we are sinners, on the way to hell. And without accepting Jesus as Lord there is no salvation. 

God created us in His image and this life is an opportunity to make a decision about our destiny. It is a myth that there is asecond life and people come as animals or birds on this earth. The Bible says “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” Hebrews‬ 

Where do we want to spend our eternity? With the Lord Jesus Christ or die and go to hell with the devil? The Bible says, if we reject the Almighty God, we are going to hell and if we reject Him, we are the ones making that choice to go to hell. When we accept the Lord Jesus Christ and we can spend eternity with Him in heaven. Or else, the sharp sickle will be upon us. 

The following verses are a preparation of the harvest and the judgement. 2Peter 2:9, 2Peter3:7, Hebrews10:26-27 & Isaiah 13:9-13 confirms the judgment of the ungodly to be punished. It is by fire that people will be destroyed. And today we can see how fire is the reason for mass destruction in wars and preparation for wars.

We need to be thankful for Salvation. 

During the harvest God will not pick which one to be harvested. Verses 18-20 talks about nations as they will fight against nation and there will be fire and bloodshed. This will be the fate of unbelievers. 

Verse 20 talks about the intensity of the bloodshed which will be up to the level of the bridle of the horse like an ocean of blood. 

For thousands of years God has already warned for us to come back and not to wait until the end. He came in the flesh and died by shedding His blood and rose again. If we come to himand believe, He will save us. Thousands are getting saved, but millions are rejecting Him. No one can take God’s love for granted and expect no judgement for sin. It is the love of God that is saving people, but it is people’s pride that is leading them to reject salvation. He came as a lowly humble servant once, born in a manger, seeking and saving and healing the lost. But people crucified Him. And now He is coming again as a righteous King, with anger and as a judge, with vengeance towards every sinner. 

This is the right time for anyone who is not saved, if anyone is not sure of the forgiveness of his/her sins and if they don’t know if they are going to heaven. If Jesus Christ is not trusted as our Lord God and Saviour, and if we die tonight, we will go to hell. And if death doesn’t come tonight, and if we missthe rapture, the suffering of these indignation and judgment mentioned in this book will surely be upon us. 

What needs to be done then? Repent of our sins. We need tostop following our religion, the religion of self-righteousness, idolatry and our own belief, following the devil, and turn away from it. We need to turn towards the Lord Jesus Christ, away from the religion of the idols, to have a relationship with the Almighty God, the true living God – Jesus Christ.

Jesus Belongs To Whom ?

Jesus Belongs To Whom ?

Many in our great country would say, “ your Jesus is an American God, or British God or Australian God or they would even say Jesus is a white God.” Unfortunately people say such things due to ignorance and absolutely lacks any kind of knowledge.

Jesus is not an American God nor a British God nor a White God . Than whose God is Jesus ?

First and foremost it is important to know that ONLY the Lord Jesus Christ lived a sinless perfect life. He had no sin in Him. The judges of that time couldn’t find any sin in Jesus. No other men or women ever lived a sinless perfect life.

Secondly , Jesus is not a white mans God and was not born in America, England or Australia , nor in any of the European country. Jesus didn’t have blue eyes or blonde hair and white skin. Many idolaters falsely draw a picture or sculpture or make an idol of so called Jesus as if he was an European .

Jesus was born in Asia , in the Middle East and to be precise, Jesus was born in a little town called Bethlehem. Jesus was not born in the White House of America , nor in St Peter’s Basalica in the Vatican , nor in the Taj Mahal of India. He was born in the manger to fulfill the prophecy of a LAMB of God that takes away the sins of the world.

Jesus came into this world in a miraculous way. Jesus did unimaginable miracles which He continues to do it even now. Jesus fed the hungry, healed the sick, forgave the sinners, raised the dead to life to prove to the world He indeed is the resurrection and the life.

The law required the shed blood 🩸 for the forgiveness of mankind . No one was qualified but Jesus alone . Jesus was qualified because there was no sin in Him, His blood was sinless . Only a sinless blood can wash away the sins of this sinful world.

No amount of cutting of animals can save you, no amount of dipping in the water can wash away your sins, no amount of donations in the form of money, gold, silver or diamonds can make you holy , no amount of sacrifices can make you righteous . Your shaving of your hair , shedding of your own blood, going and spending your life in the valleys won’t make you a saint. No amount of confession of sins to the priest can make you holy.

ONLY Jesus Christ can make you a child of God. Jesus alone can make you righteous. Jesus alone can forgive your sins. Jesus alone can regenerate your soul.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, exactly in the Center of the earth . Because Jesus came for ALL.

Yes Jesus belongs to America, Jesus belongs to the British , Jesus belongs to the white , Jesus belongs to the Black , Jesus belongs to the Brown, Jesus belongs to the Yellow , Jesus belongs to all the people of all colour .

You rejecting Him does not make Him any less . He was crucified by sinful men because Jesus claimed to be God.

Rightfully Jesus is God as He claimed . This holy righteous God became man and came into this world and gave Himself to the world , so all of the people in the world can have Him and belong to Him.

This world has no hope in the pope , nor in the dope nor in any soap nor in wearing any special kind of rope. There is hope ONLY in Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ belongs to me and I belong to Him. He showed his love for me by dying for my sins and shedding His blood and raising again. Yes my readers, Jesus is indeed God the creator . He can do anything and nothing is impossible for Him. He came into this world born through a virgin , lived a sinless perfect life. Shed His blood 🩸 and died on the cross to show His love , was buried and rose again on the third day victoriously. No one in the history of this world ever did what Jesus did, said and proved.

Don’t loose your life to your ignorance and pride . Be humble and come to Jesus Christ with a repentant heart.

The Lord will grant you repentance, He will give you faith to believe . Jesus will wash away your sins if you believe and receive Him. He will never force. It’s your choice !

Jesus belongs to Me. Jesus belongs to INDIA as much as Jesus belongs to America, England, Australia. Jesus belongs to all the people in every continent.

Jesus Christ WAS , IS and WILL be the Almighty God . You accepting or rejecting Him will not change Him but it certainly will determine YOUR DESTINY!

The Dangers Of Christian Mysticism.

Mysticism is a personal , higher, deeper, religious experience based on personal intuition. it simply means Vain, vanity, maya, emptiness , so that the evil spirit can posses you.

vague or ill-defined religious or spiritual belief, especially as associated with a belief in the occult.

This is NOT biblical, no matter even if they use words like jesus, holy spirt etc. Their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible and their “holy spirit” is the Evil spirit from the pit of hell.

Their first step to deceive you is to introduce you to philisophy, doubts in the scripture and cause you to reject the word of God , corrupt the word of God and then boldly say ” God spoke to me” God appeared to Me, ” God told me” so that they can now become the final authority and bind you from not searching the scripture to see if it so or not.

This perversions were prevalent even during the apostles times and Paul warns us and differentiates between TRUE Disciples and Fake Christians. 2 Corinthians 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

How do you identify the false perverts who call themselves as pastors and teachers, prophets and miss lead the people into Mysticism from the truth?

they will introduce YOGA in the church , they will talk a lot about Holy Spirit and LESS about Jesus Christ, they talk about gem stones and angel feathers . They will be pretending to talk to the angels in their church hall and command the angels, request the angels etc etc

Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Sadly such wickedness and spiritual decease is happening in Goa and when I stand up to warn the christians and call them out of such spiritual adultery, not many are able to see the truth.

I know they cannot see because God’s word says ‘ the god of this world has blinded their eyes. ‘ John 12:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

When you know the truth and you don’t warn your people of the lies, error and perversions , it is simply because you want to please everyone, you don’t care about the truth , you don’t mind if the people are deceived, may be you don’t really know the truth and mostly you could be ONE among them .

“Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭20:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

It is sad that many today who take the name of Christ feast on the unhealthy teachings of IMAGINATION which is in direct opposite to what Gods word says. False teachers prey on the goats and sheep’s and manipulate them to get into imagining things in their mind.

Such practices makes one proud, arrogant and skeptic towards Gods word and opens the window for the evil spirits that butters you up to think highly about yourself and love your self and exalts oneself instead of Christ. God’s word warns us
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

People who practice such have a foolish dark heart. Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Be Like An Eagle

If you desire to renew your strength and mount up with wings as eagles than you need to WAIT upon the Lord .

The word WAIT does not mean sit idle and do nothing, WAIT simply means SERVE. The waiter or waitress waits upon the table to be ready and be serving.

We who are Gods servants must be found occupied waiting upon the Lord. Enjoying God daily, loving God daily in His word and in prayer and fellowshiping with like minded believers. Expounding the word more clearly to the saints and exposing the wolfs in sheep’s clothings.

You should be a delight to the brethren and a terror to the false prophets and a nightmare to the evil doers.

Love the sinners by preaching the gospel to them.

Love your wife passionately and Love your kids diligently .

Rest in Christ always to be refreshed , be filled by the Holy Ghost everyday.

Waiting or serving the Lord will make you bold and courageous.

Though your outward man may perish yet your inward man will be renewed day by day!

Eagles 🦅 don’t fear !

But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Who Are The RICE BAG ?

Who are the RICE BAG?

In India, recently the anti Christian groups MOCK, Christians as RICE BAG ignorantly.

This simply exposes their lack of knowledge of history.

The truth is that the term RICE BAG was given by the British Rulers in India to every non Christians who came to the Christian missionaries for favours of food and clothing but still continued in idolatry.

They would take the benefits like Rice bag and other groceries from the generous Christian missionaries who cared for the soul as well as the well beings of the Indians who were poor.

Hence the Term ‘RICE BAG’ was coined by British rulers to those who took benefits but continued in Idolatry burned the wives alive after the death of the husbands, ate the flesh of the dead body, threw dead decomposed bodies in beautiful rivers of India etc etc.

Those who received Jesus Christ were called as Christians and those who only took benefits from the compassionate missionaries were called as ‘RICE BAG’.

So who are the RICE BAG ? It is those who took the benefits of the compassionate Christians but continued in Idolatry.

We as Christians will NEVER call you as RICE BAG because we love you and care for your soul. Each soul is precious to us for whom Jesus Christ died and rose again to redeem from hell and forgive from sin.

Get your facts right !

The Dangers Of Modern Day Prophets And Prophesy!

Why you should not take Morden day prophesy of modern day “ prophets “ seriously?

First of all , if you truly Love God and His written word , you will be satisfied by Gods word and reject every men’s words. ( Romans 3:4 )

Gods written prophesy of the past, present and future which is already writing and sealed will never lie to you but will always speak the truth even if it hurts. (Revelation 1:1)

Modern day prophets and prophesy is always manipulated with tricks and trade to make the audience feel good about themselves and giving them what they want to hear. Eg “prophesy of good job” “financial breakthrough “ “marriage proposal “ “ business prosperity “ “ Visa to America and Europe “ etc etc in the midst of all this greediness of feeding self with lust and pride satisfying the flesh and pride of life , people are taken far away from God given truth. This causes the innocent and some rebellious audience to heap up teachers that itches their ears ( 2Timothy 4:3-4)

Modern day prophesy often fails and the prophets are found to be liars and frauds majority of the times. History proves.

Morden day prophesy is like throwing a stone on a tree full of mangoes and expecting it to fall on anyone and it does fall when the tree is full of mangoes and so does an auditorium with few dozens of people.

If a men doesn’t settle down with the more sure word of prophesy ( 2 Peter 1: 19 ) which is the written and inspired word of God ( 2 Timothy 3:16 ) , that which God has given in a personal way which is settled in heaven forever ( Psalm 119:89 ) and God has magnified His word above all His name ( Psalm 138:2 ) than men will always be looking for mans prophesy to make their lust tasteful and will always be unsatisfied in life and this will lead to receiving false prophesy from man and woman in the churches, Facebook and YouTube etc ( Isaiah 30:10 ).

Read what God wrote through Peter

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭1:19-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

JEZEBEL AND HER BOY FRIENDS

1 Kings and 2 Kings is an interesting book and it tells us about the strange rebellious , religious , revengeful Jezebel.When the man of God exposes and calls out Jezebel, she becomes furious and gets sleepless night .

Always remember, her husband mostly will agree with the man of God and will say nothing but a loud Amen and will go to sleep in sorrow and fear !

Jezebel certainly will have some small boyfriends who will try to please her to get some gain and so the little boyfriend will try to act like man and pick a fight with the preacher of Gods word from time to time.

These small boy friends will claim to be religious, basically prophets of the Baal, who will deceive people with some fake tricks and trade and miracles , like manipulating emotional woman’s mind to believe signs, miracles and lying wonders . 2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, .

They certainly will get some success in deceiving as the pervert and adulterous generations will seek such signs and wonders. Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;….

Always remember such are not of God, not authenticated in the word of God and rebuked by our Lord God Jesus Christ and the Jezebel and Ahab’s and boyfriends will work to take peoples mind out of God’s word. Our God is a miracle working God and he will do great and mighty things and heal people and provide the needs and not the greed according to His will and pleasure in His time. Jesus Still heals and cleans and restores. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Jezebel and Baal, ( Jezebels boyfriends ) will manipulate tricks and games and do their best to destroy the faithful’s faith in the word of God so that the deceived will believe the tricks done by Jezebels boyfriends. Jezebel will celebrate it by posting such trophies of tricks and trade on the front page of her wall. Remember she is everywhere . From Church to YouTube to Facebook.

She is bossy , controlling, dominating and has a know it all attitude. Jezebel pretends to love God but her God is herself.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:1-7

When you expose the Jezebel and the spirit of Jezebel , then man of God must expect, that desperate Jezebel will take revenge but always remember don’t run to the Juniper tree for Jesus is more powerful than the Jezebel. Jezebel is no match for Jesus.

Man of God, Jezebel is looking to get your head on the platter , that is what she wants. If you allow her to rule your government, your church, your home , you are finished.

Man of God stand up and call out the Jezebels and the Baals that is hiding in the congregation to work against the work of God to cause hurts to the ministry and turning the grace of God into lasciviousness . Satan has planted them well inside the local churches.

Ever wondered why most of the churches in this day and age have gone to the world? Ever wondered why the church is become more and more worldly and carnal today? Ever wondered why the churches are become feministic? Ever wondered why most of churches are headed and led by the people that are not suppose to lead but to be in silence and submissive ?

Because most of the Elijah’s have gone to hide under the juniper tree.

Man of God be fearless, and bold and courageous. Don’t fear the Jezebels and their boyfriends. The Lord has ordained their end just very well written in the last book of the bible. You stand up, take that black book in your hand and preach and teach the word of God. Pray daily to be filled by the Holy Ghost. Pray for the power of the Holy Ghost every moment you need. Man of God, the Victory is yours. The defeat is of Jezebel and her boy friends.

Revelation 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. Revelation 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Revelation 2:22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

The Tragedy Of The Church Today

The real threat to the body of Christ today is not the media or worldliness but the proclamation of the false gospel.

Somehow in order to grab great crowd we have made a very friendly , attractive, non offensive , wishy washy gospel available to the sinners.

We have made the gospel as if that is one more necessity that is needed to be added to their lives.

We have made the gospel to be so sweet that sinner doesn’t even realise why he or she needs the gospel but is attracted to something that is so sweet.

We have made the gospel available in such a way that the sinner is so convinced that it is not the sinner who needs to be saved but God wants to fill the heaven.

We have made the gospel so weak that we can’t win people to Christ but without programs and tricks and entertainments and enticements.

We have made the gospel so repentable that now a sinner does not need to repent but the gospel repents according to the likes and tastes of the sinner.

Oh what a generation are we producing now a days , a generation full of ignorance of the gospel but wears a tag as a believer.A generation of people that has been convinced by leaders that your fruits does not determine your salvation anymore .

A generation of people in a church building where there is no conviction if and when we sin .

A generation of rebellious group that does not repent of their sin and confess their sins to God even when you grieve Him. My preacher friend if all you want to is make people to love you than we should be selling ice creams.

We have no right to change the gospel to suite the people.

We have no permission to do what we want and how we want with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We must realise that we will have to give an account to the Lord for how we did the ministry.Most who are faithful in the church building might end up In the everlasting fire along with you for receiving and preaching a false gospel . That is so painful and my eyes tears and my heart breaks . Inspite of all the crookedness of some willful sinful preachers , God has seen those who are seeking Him and has saved them by the true gospel which is an act of Gods providence.

The gospel begins with a bad news and bad news is , man is a sinner and will end up in hell.

The good news is that God is holy and God is loving. While our holy God can’t accept a sinner in His presence yet because of His great love , our God does not want to see anyone going to hell. So God did everything to save sinners.

God became man. 1 Timothy 3:16

His Name is Jesus Mathew 1:21

Jesus took our sins upon Him 2 Corinthians 5:21

Jesus Shed His blood to forgive us from sin Col 1:14Jesus died on behalf of us on the cross 1 Cor 15:3

Jesus was buried 1 Corinthians 15: 4

Jesus rose again on the third day 1 Corinthians 15:4

Anything less in the above is not the gospel but a false gospel and a lie .

The Lord Jesus who is God, loves you so much that he does NOT want you to go to hell and die and burn there forever . He is willing to save you by His grace and mercy through faith and that is the only way you can be saved today.

You must know you are a sinner and no amount of good works or religious ceremonies will save you. Isaiah 64:6.

If you will understand the gospel and believe it, God will grant you repentance.

Repentance does not mean clean up yourself and come to Christ , Repentance means realizing that you cannot clean yourself and cannot give up your sins by yourself so you turn away from sins and turn to Jesus to save you and deliver you and redeem you from sin and hell. 1 Thess 1:9

Everything that is against Gods word is sin. So we repent towards God and put our faith in Jesus Christ for what He did to save us Acts 20:21. Say no to Sin , that is repentance towards God and come to Jesus , which is faith towards Jesus Christ our Lord and He will save you today.

You cannot enter the kingdom of God if you don’t receive the God of the kingdom. Jesus Christ is not just a Saviour alone but He is The God manifest in the flesh!

Do you believe Jesus Christ is God? Do you believe God was manifest in the flesh? Do you believe He took your sins upon Him? Do you believe He shed His blood for your sins? Do you believe He died on the cross for your sins? Do you believe He was buried ? Do you believe Jesus rose again on the third day? If you UNDERSTAND the gospel and BELIEVE it than Say No to your sins and come to Jesus and RECEIVE the Lord God and our Saviour Jesus Christ now. Jesus will save you by His grace and mercy through faith ! John 1:12

You will be a regenerated person by the work of the Holy Ghost , a new creature by the Holy Spirit, a born again individual by the Holy Ghost , you will be in the body of Christ baptized by the Holy Ghost , All your sins will be forgiven and you will have a brand new start in life today! Titus 3:5, John 3:6.

Don’t waste your life !

Lamanis / Ghatis / Biknakars and Believers.

Believers who is a person of Goan origins should be careful when you use certain words downgrading a certain group of people who have migrated to Goa .
Words such lamani, Ghatis, biknakar etc etc. remember the certain majority of radical unbelievers use the word ‘ BELIEVERS’ the same way downgrading, insulting and defaming , as many residents or people of Goan orgin who is a believer use against those who migrated to Goa many years ago in search of job and better life and have settled and are active In both upper class and other class jobs and businesses etc.

The word Lamani or Labani comes from their forefather Laban the great nephew of Abraham. Don’t forget the country called Labanon and it’s people as Lebanese.

Laban’s father, Bethuel, was the son of Nachor, Abraham’s older brother. In addition, Laban was thrice related by marriage to Abraham’s family: his sister Rebecca married Isaac, and his two daughters, Leah and Rachel, both married Jacob. Thus Laban was Abraham’s great-nephew, Isaac’s cousin and brother-in-law, and Jacob’s uncle and father-in-law.

Man was created in Gods image

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Adam was created in the image of God and all man after fall was begotten in image of Adam.

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Everyone who is now Born again ( BELIEVER ) is created in the image of God

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Today man has his origin from the Noah’s ark and not a particular land

“And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons’ wives with thee.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:15-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God did not promise a land on earth for Believers but to the twelve tribes of Israel.

Believers should not be involved in such a fight of words and hatred but rather to win souls , for Christ Jesus loves them all and died for them all just as He does to us.

The unbelievers do not know this truth, for majority believe in evolution. But believers know that our ancestors didn’t just show up form a rock or tree or from feni but certainly from Noah’s ark , Noah’s descendants . It is a sin if believers call other believers with degrading and Mocking and insulting names.

Ones upon a time those names such a Lamanis, Ghatis and Biknakars etc were used with highest respect and in recognition of geographical locations . The ancestors knew very well and held these Lamanis and Ghatis with honour because these group of people came from the royal bloodline from Hydrabad ( Banjara) and from Bijapur Karnataka who even ruled all over India and offcourse in Goa as a whole before the British and the Portuguese came in , plundered their wealth and colonised Goa as their territory for trade. Many of these group of people may be poor today doing simple job in Goa due to their nomadic or migrating nature and life style , while many are holding highest positions in the state due to hard work and never give up attitude.

You will be shocked and be surprised to know if you will do some biblical historical studies that these people have Jewish blood in them and many have Jewish influences in their lives.

A historical study will clearly prove of Jewish settlements in Goa before the Portuguese arrived and also in Kerala and Maharashtra and Manipur before the British arrived.

Apostle Thomas with a Jewish team who were believers came to India but landed in Goa first and than went to Kerala and Tamil Nadu bringing the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to the Land of Goa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala and that is how Believers spread all over India and then through the missionary work of the Baptist missionaries from England spread all over North India and bringing godly Civilizations to the Indus land by abolishing many social evil practices.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Have you wandered why these Nomadic people Migrate and pitch their tent?

The people of Israel were nomadic people , they kept migrating and pitching their tents everywhere they went. Even today you will find many Lamanis and Ghatis living in tents wherever they settle for job and then take off and pitch their tent on the next place of job.

They do succeed in their business, no matter what they do , it is simply because of the business blessings they have and they are certainly hard workers, who wake up early and go to bed late, work for less and make more money.

“And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.”
‭‭Numbers‬ ‭1:52‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Abraham Was a Nomadic who migrated and became rich wherever he went

“Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭13:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Laban Pitched his tent

“Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭31:25‬ ‭KJV‬

Remember that the Jewish Christians who are in the body of Christ has scattered all over the world due to persecution and many of their children were born in those kingdoms and many saved and many unsaved .

“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Are you Ok with calling Jesus as Lamani or Ghati ? Jesus is not a person of a Goan origin but from the ghat and desert of Israel with connection with Lamani or Labani . Will you kick him out or is he already out of your church and still knocking at your church door ?

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:19-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There are many born again believers who are not of Goan origin but they attend your church in Goa and worship with you and they pray for you and win souls and contribute financially with their tithes and offerings and extras and many even do your paper work in the legal government departments and yet many call the believers who came from outside Goa with many degrading name .

“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬

This name calling In a very defaming and degrading and Inappropriate way must be stopped for Christ sake among the believers .

This earth doesn’t belong to us , we are to set our affection above.

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We are here to win all of them to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you showing them the love of Christ or are you pushing them far away?

Does the political germ and worm fascinates you more than Jesus Christ and soul winning and the church of Our Lord Jesus Christ ?

Is the brethren in your church who are not of Goan origin comfortable worshiping with you?

Do you make them accepted, loved and welcomed ?

Do you speak behind them the same way how you speak on their face ?

Brethren we don’t play politics , we are here to serve , to preach and make disciples .

Remember Jesus is not a person of Goan origin. Hope he can stay in your heart, hope he can stay in your life, hope he can take control of your business and job and hope He can stay in the state of Goa?

Or do you want him to leave the state and all that is related to it?

Could it be possible that He left your local church already and standing outside knocking at the church door ?

Spread love and share this with believers in Goa everywhere.
