thisgospel


Please refer to Matt. chapter 26 (KJV).


 



There
were two people whose lives were changed as a result of their reactions
to Jesus. One for the better and one for the worse. Of course,  there
were many others whose lives were changed by their reactions to Jesus.
Some are shown in this very chapter.



Let us find out about the one who was near to Jesus for about three years---Judas Iscariot.



Judas
Iscariot was an apostle of Jesus. He was the one who looked after the
money. Money in the form of  silver pieces became his undoing. Look at
verses fourteen and fifteen. Judas made an agreement to betray Jesus to
the chief priests for thirty pieces of silver.



Judas'
reactions to Jesus before that time was one of friendship. On that very
day all the other apostles counted Judas as one of them. Judas was
their friend from their point of view. But from Judas' point of view
they were deceivers just like Jesus.



Judas
had three major strikes against him but he was not aware of them. He
was chosen for the office of apostle, but he was not chosen for eternal
life. Strike one. He was swayed by financial gains, even to the point
of selling out his friends. Strike two. He was a child of the devil.
Jesus referred to him as a devil. See the words of Jesus (John 6:70). No
wonder Satan was able to enter Judas after he ate the bread that Jesus
broke on that passover day. Strike three.  



Satan
cannot enter a child of God because the new passover protects the child
of God. Jesus was the passover lamb, and the unleavened bread He gave
to His disciples did not represent the unleavened bread of the passover
that Moses established. The bread, Jesus said, was His body (verse 26).
Judas could not shelter in the passover. Jesus will not protect you from
Satan if you refuse to come under the protection of His passover. He is
the passover. If you are seeking protection under Moses' passover you
are in error. For all those who reject true friendship with Jesus, the
new passover cannot cover them. They are exposed to Satan. Jesus does not lift all other protections from the unlearned and
ignorant unbelievers. Because He is merciful and not willing that any
should perish, He does not allow Satan to always attack people as Satan
would like. This does not mean that those unbelievers will have eternal
life and live forever. Like Judas, they also will be known as enemies
of Jesus, unless they repent and become children of God.



There
were probably more strikes against Judas than these three. These are
the three that came to my mind. They are sufficient to give light
to unbelievers to understand that they are in the same boat as Judas.



Then,
there was Mary. Her reactions to Jesus was one of intense love. She
displayed the right use of money (money in the form of precious
ointment). She preferred Jesus above financial gains and her own
enjoyment of the ointment. Look at verses six to thirteen.



After
Mary poured the ointment on the Lord Jesus, He established a memorial
for her. He linked her to the preaching of the Gospel. Note that Jesus
said, "...this gospel...". What would His disciples consider as "this
gospel"?  Look at verse two. Do you understand from that verse that the
gospel Jesus Himself spoke about included His crucifixion?  That meant
death. He made it clear that betrayal would come before He would be
crucified.



Jesus
gave the next important truth about "this gospel" in verse twelve.
 Jesus would  be buried. Those who believe that Jesus did not die on
the cross are in error. Those who believe that God spared Jesus from
death and took Him bodily to Heaven are not in agreement with Jesus.
 In verse twenty-four Jesus made it clear that He was going away from
this world according to what was written in the scriptures. This means
that the scriptures were to be fulfilled. It means that anyone
(including false messiahs and false prophets) who teach contrary to the
scriptures are in error. The prophets and messiahs that do not teach
that Jesus died on the cross and was buried are false teachers. Do not
fear them.



Jesus
made it clear in verse thirty-two that death and burial was not the end
of Him. He spoke of His resurrection. Jesus Himself is the resurrection
and the life. So "this gospel" was made clear by Jesus Himself.



Jesus
did not give His disciples "this gospel" halfway. No one can
come to Jesus and receive eternal life with a halfway gospel.



As
for Mary, she gave that which was precious to Jesus for the full
gospel. Many people don't like to give to Jesus for the full gospel.
Some of them are angry when others are following Mary's example. Some
are glad when Jesus bless them and heal them but they are not glad to
give for His gospel.



As
for those who are teaching that Mary was Jesus' wife, they are the
mouthpieces of Satan. If Mary were such, she would have received a lot
more fame than that one memorial. According to their teaching Jesus is
like a sinner. How then could Jesus fulfill the gospel according to the
scriptures? Is it written anywhere in the scriptures that Jesus would
have a bride or wife, except in a figurative and spiritual sense? "This
gospel" is not according to the imaginations of wicked people (children
of Satan).  It is according to the written word of God. That word will
judge the wicked.



Be blessed all you who fear the Lord Jesus. Be warned all you who like to see the end of Jesus. He has no end.

Terrors And Tragedies From Old Devils In Guyana

Friday, February 01, 2008


Read about what happened in Guyana recently to get the most

from this message. Check out the Guyana newspapers. Find in

the archive, the January 26th to 28th, 2008 issues. Check

some earlier issues to learn about the killing of a pastor.


Weep, wail, and mourn O Land of Guyana!


Cry until the tears are dried up.


Howl and scream with pains. Pound upon your chest and groan

while you can still hear and feel the terror that is in your

midst.



O daughter of Guyana, who will bring comfort to you? Who will

defend you from the fierce anger of the wild Jackals? From the

subtlety of the dark and heinous serpents, who shall give you

wisdom enough to withstand?



Where are your heroes and heroines? Where are your brave

young men? Are they swallowed up with grief or are they asleep?

Have they remained silent because they are afraid or because

they are led by the weak? Are they trusting in politics more

than in the God of Heaven? Are they looking to gods who are

serpents and beasts? Are they looking to the same subtle gods

(Old Devils) who stir the spirits of the serpents to break

into your houses?



The Old Devils are back. Nay, they just came out of hiding.

They were always there. They have their places in your midst.

You have helped them by giving them drink offerings and food

offerings. You have entertained them and sang unto them. For

generations they have deceived you and you love to have it so.

You have sown and now you are reaping.



Understand and be ashamed. Your own gods in whom you trusted

are behind the evils that are visiting you. Tell me, how else

could such things happen unless the land has turned away from

the God of Heaven? Were you never warned by the preachers He

sent to you? Did they not tell you that God is not mocked? Did

they not say, that if you sow evil by raising your voices to

other gods and entertain them, then you will reap what you sow?



Will the God of Heaven come to your aid when you do not welcome

Him into your life? Will you reap the rewards He has promised

to those who love Him? Can you go on hating Him by serving

other gods and still expect Him to come and comfort you in your

distresses?


No, you are wrong! He will not bless you, but curses will plague

your houses and your children because you will reap what you sow.

You cannot serve those Old Devils and be a friend of God. You

must turn. You must repent. You must become humble. You must

believe in His Son, Jesus. You must receive His teachings and

refuse the teachings of devils. Your pandits are deceived. Your

Imams are deceived. Your soul is not precious to them. They feed

you lies and keep you in the grip of the Old Devils. How long

will you sleep? How long will you let them deceive you?



Wail and lament, be scared and live in terror. Let the curses

continue if you will not listen to the Most High and bow before

Him. You have no one to blame for your distresses. The Gospel

was preached to you for generations, but you have slept. You

have rebelled. You have lived in pleasure with devils. You

made bed with those Old Devils for too long. You fill yourself

with booze when it is Jesus' birthday. You bare your nakedness

in your " jump ups" and your beauty shows. Woe unto you! You

are sowing wrong!



God has been calling you to His table to eat. Eat His words and

refuse the lies. If you continue to stiffen your neck and harden

your heart don't expect your calamities to go away. Expect the

rains that will not move until His wrath is appeased. Expect the

sun to scorch and dry up your fields. Expect your poverty to

crush you and bow your inhabitants' backs until they go to their

graves. You should know, if no one ever told you before, that

the earth is the Lord's. It is given to the inhabitants at

Jesus' good pleasure and not at the pleasure of the gods you

honour. Those who love the Lord Jesus should know this truth.



Those Old Devils are oppressors. Their nature is contrary to the

nature of God. They will promise you life but are unable to

deliver life to you. They will suck from you but they cannot

comfort you in your distresses. They are evil tormentors.

Torments are their games. Lust and envy are their ways. They are

corrupt in every possible way. You don't see them unless God

opens your eyes to see them. Sometimes you are not aware of their

heinous desires until they break forth into the lives of your

people.



Jesus is still calling you to repentance, O land of Guyana. Seek

Him while He may be found and watch Him bless you and bring

comfort to you. Don't call upon the arm of flesh. The arm of

flesh will fail. Trust in the Lord Jesus. He will not fail you or

forsake you. Love Him and then you will not have to call upon

every new god that comes up. Trust in Him and don't lean upon

the new god called "International community". "International

Community" is for those who want to be eventually oppressed by

the "International Community".



Now, change your voice O Land! Cry and mourn for the only

begotten Son of God. Mourn for Him because He was innocent

but suffered for your sins. Mourn for Him as you mourn for

your children. He may still turn to you and heal you.



O Lord, grant unto all those who read these words and do not like

them, to understand the severity of them. Grant unto them peace in

their minds that they may not be blinded by self-righteous anger.

Let them see that you still care to warn them to escape your wrath

that is coming upon the earth.

Woman---MOTHER of Jesus

Hi! I hope you have come prepared to receive the teachings with a believing heart. You would be wise to check out some of the things I wrote to see whether I am in line with the scriptures. It is a good idea not to think too highly of people. People are not perfect. Mistakes are made by experienced and well taught teachers of the scriptures. Check out the messages carefully and prayerfully. Let your main teacher be the Holy Spirit. If the teachings are of God, you will be able to get a witness from the Holy Spirit if you are a child of God. You may even get filled with the Spirit as you read the messages. You may get a witness of increased faith and joy or increased peace.


Let us find John 2:1-11 (KJV).

The first verse gives us a name of a place in Galilee. That place was Cana. The occasion was a marriage. One person in particular was at the wedding---the MOTHER of Jesus.


The second verse shows us that Jesus and his disciples were invited to the marriage in Cana.

In the third verse we learn that there was a problem at the wedding. They ran out of wine. Jesus was at a wedding where they served wine? Surely, that wine couldn't have alcohol in it, some of you may be saying. It was probably just fruit juice---grape juice you know. Well, we don't know. At this point there is no mention of the type of wine they were using.

One thing was for sure. They wanted more wine. It seemed that having more wine was very important. It was so important that the MOTHER of Jesus went into action to save the marriage feast from disaster due to lack of wine.

She took the matter to Jesus. She said to Him, "They have NO wine."

Let us consider what happened next in verse four.

Jesus responded to His MOTHER by addressing her as WOMAN and not as MOTHER. Why? Did Jesus mess up then and displayed disrespect to His MOTHER?

He told her that His hour was not yet come. In other words, I may not (not I cannot) supply you with more wine at this time. I have to wait for the time to be right. Jesus was not giving an answer that was written in stone. His MOTHER knew that.

In verse five, she turned her attention to the servants and gave them the instruction, "Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it." She did not accept the answer that Jesus gave her as a final NO. She acted in faith and expected that her faith would be rewarded.

But who would reward her faith? And in whom should she put her trust? She could not get more wine by miraculous means if she had placed her trust in Jesus as the son of Mary. No Sir. She understood that she must place her trust in Jesus, the Son of God.


Jesus, the son of Mary, also knew that He could not grant her request just because He was her son. Both Mary and Jesus understood that Mary must come to Him as Lord Jesus in order to get the desired result. It was for that reason that Jesus never addressed Mary, His MOTHER, as MOTHER, but as WOMAN. She, like all other women, must make request with FAITH IN JESUS AS LORD GOD. God spoke through Jesus, His Son. As God, Jesus had every right to address His creation as MAN or WOMAN. No wonder the officers in the temple at Jerusalem, when they went to arrest Him, could not do so. Their reason was that He spoke with authority.

Jesus was not disrespectful to His MOTHER when He called her WOMAN. If Jesus was disrespectful to His MOTHER, He would have been guilty of sin. That would have made it impossible for Jesus to proceed to the next step in providing a suitable solution to the problem of lack of wine.

Proceeding to verse six, we see that there were six stone containers with water in them. The amount of water in each container was about eighteen to twenty-seven gallons. Do the math. We should realize that there were more than enough wine to supply the wedding feast. Jesus would have made sure of that. He would not allow His glory to be diminished by another shortage of wine at the wedding feast. He had to do a good work.

In verse seven, Jesus went into action. Yes, the objection that He made to His MOTHER---about His hour not right for the miraculous supply of wine---was overcome by Mary's faith in the LORD Jesus. Jesus moved into creative power by the anointing resting on Him. He was working a miracle which His Father in Him was working. So when Jesus moved He was moving as His Father in Him was moving. Jesus was not moving to do such a powerful work as the son of Mary but as the Son of God. So the Father in Jesus spoke, "Fill the water pots with water."

Read the rest of the verses and see what happened. What I would like you to retain is the teaching that Jesus was not disrespectful to His MOTHER, Mary, when He called her WOMAN. He did the same thing at the cross (John 19:26). You should understand, like Mary understood, that you must bow to Jesus as your LORD. To round off these teachings and to block any resistance, you should consider other scriptures where Jesus, as LORD, speaking by the Father, called some disciples children. Jesus could have spoken to Mary and called her child and He would not have offended her. He could have called her daughter also. Check the scriptures for yourself.

Peace be to you.

Christmas Greeting From Abdool N

His name shall be called Jesus. His name
means Saviour. He shall save His people
from their sins.

His other name shall be Emmanuel
Matt. 1:23. It means God is with us.

God is with us to save us from our sins.
That is what you can see if you combine the
two names.

This Christmas take the names of Jesus
as seriously as you would take the names of
your father, mother, chief rulers of your
country, and your own name.

Your name is precious to you. Let the name
Jesus become more precious to you. Your name
may even be great in some way, but the name of
Jesus is greater than your name. Let the greater
name, Jesus, become light and life to your soul.

Have yourself a pure Christmas. Have a
Christmas without sins in your life. Have a
fantastic Christmas with a friend who sticks
closer than a brother. Have a Christmas with
Jesus. After all it is His birthday not yours.

To all my friends, neighbours, countrymen,
aquaintances and visitors to my blogs and
web sites, I wish you a very merry Christmas
and a new year filled with many good things.

Jesus loves you.

Salvation is of the Jews, but...



Look at John chapter four (KJV).


Verse twenty-two: Salvation is of the Jews.
The word of God did not stop there because God's
Salvation is for anyone, anywhere. The next verse
says But... Read it.


In verse twenty-two Jesus told a Samaritan woman that
she does not know what she was worshipping. She was
certain that she and her people were doing well by
going to a particular mountain to worship. See verse
twenty.

The same thing is happening to many other nations and
tribes. They have set apart a particular temple, river, city
or other things where they must go to worship. They do
not understand that God must be worshipped in spirit
and in truth (verse 23).

Even Jerusalem is not the place where God meets with
His true worshippers, just because it is called the holy
city (verse 21). Christians are also making this same
mistake. They are willing to fight and die for Jerusalem
because they think they ought to worship God there.
People who don't know God's truth are prone to
deceptions. How can they please God, who is a Spirit,
by restricting Him to a particular mountain or city?

Are you making pilgrimage to Rome, Jerusalem or some
other place to worship God? Do you think that you will get
more blessings than those who stay at home and worship
God in spirit and in truth? Think again.

God is looking at the hearts of people more than at their
outward parts and their buildings, clothes, rivers, etc. Those
who are pleasing God are presenting to Him a pure heart.
Their hearts are washed in the blood of the Lamb of God.
No one can enter into God's holy presence through a city,
a river, a mountain, or anything else, except through the
precious shed blood of Jesus Christ. It is His blood only
that can purify the hearts of people. It is only through the
cross of Jesus can sins be forgiven and sinners be made
clean to enter into the presence of a holy God.

Those who are born of the Spirit of God through faith in
Jesus Christ are living in God's Spirit and God's Spirit
is living in them. They are in God wheresoever they may
be on the Earth. They can communicate with God and
worship Him anywhere. Of course they still need places
to assemble to worship God together. Those places
should not become like the mountain in Samaria that
the Samaritans were believing to be the way to enter into
worship with God.

When you learn this truth from God's word you can make
corrections if you were not aware of this truth. You will be
able to see the folly of going to any pilgrimage to worship
the God of Heaven, who is a Spirit, and must be worshipped
in spirit and in truth. Start with this truth to refuse to worship
you know not what. Refuse to be fooled. Treat the truth of
the living God with reverence and turn to Him to guide you
into a walk with Him by faith in Jesus Christ through the
Spirit of God.

Hell is Real

Hell---a place for the wicked, both people and angels.

Hell is God's way of executing vengeance upon those
who rebelled against Him and did not receive the
common salvation delivered to the saints.

Preachers who want to do away with Hell by teaching
that God will not condemn unbelievers to the damnation
of Hell fire are basing their teachings on their own ideas
and doctrines of devils. God, even the Lord God (Jesus
Christ) is a God of justice. Justice consists of vengeance.
God cannot become unjust and do away with vengeance.
Therefore God cannot do away with Hell. Men's wishful
thinking and dreaming cannot change the plans or ways
of the Most Holy God. Payday is coming soon---sooner
than some think.

Sodom and its neighbours did not think that vengeance
was near. Even Lot lingered because he did not think
vengeance was at the door. Lot's wife still could not
grasp the severity of the God of vengeance even though
she was fleeing. She should be an example of those who
think that God is mocked. She rebelled and mocked at
God's severe instructions and so perished under the
vengeance of God.

Hell has everlasting fire. Don't mock God with unbelief.
Don't mock God with doctrines of devils and man made
teachings that say there is no Hell.

Don't think that you can escape the damnation of Hell
by religions that clearly despise and mock the
common faith of the saints that is found only in
Jesus Christ.

Don't follow the way of Cain who was of the wicked one
(that is the Devil). Cain tried to make his own religion by
offering that which offended God. Cain chose envy and
murder to out do his brother. Cain showed no mercy to
his own flesh.

There are religions that have gone the way of Cain. They
have set up their own systems of offerings to God and
have not submitted to the way that God has set out.
Those who offer sacrifices and burnt offerings to God
contrary to the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ are
going in the way of Cain. Cain's way is the sure way to
Hell and eternal damnation.

Turn! Turn! Why should you think that vengeance will
not come to your door if you continue to mock God?

Also, Hell is for fools.
