SECOND HIM SERVICE THIS WEEK-01/11/24
THE BEST STATEMENT THAT A THOUGHTLESS AND DESPERATE OFFENDER WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE MOUTH OF A JUDGE, BETWEEN HIM OR BETWEEN HER AND THE PERSON THAT HE OR SHE HAS OFFENDED, WOULD BE, `YOU ARE FORGIVEN`. BUT THE MOST ANNOYING ADVICE THAT THE DETERMINED OFFENDER WOULD LIKE TO LISTEN TO, FROM A SYMPATHETIC FRIEND OR NEUTRAL PERSON, WOULD HAVE BEEN, `STOP FIGHTING THIS PERSON YOU CALL YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE HE OR SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR ARROW`. HOW DANGEROUS AND RISKY, IS A HEART THAT HATES AN INNOCENT SOMEBODY, WHOSE BATTLE, IS FOUGHT FOR HIM OR FOR HER, FROM ABOVE! FRANKLY, IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO HATE(ESPECIALLY IF THE CAUSE OR CAUSES FOR THE HATRED, IS RIGHT AND DESERVING). IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO ENVY, JELOUSE, BE GREEDY, BE PROUD, CHEAT,AND COMPETE TO WIN(ESPECIALLY, IF THE HEART OF THE PERSON IS NOT RE-GENERATED THROUGH NEW BIRTH, BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS), BUT AN INDIVIDUAL CAN GO BEYOND THE BOUNDARY, WHEN IN ANY OF THE SINS ABOVE, OR WHEN CHASING FOR THE ABOVE. INDIVIDUAL CAN GO BEYOND THE LEVEL THAT CAN BE ACCEPTABLE BY ANY AVERAGE HUMAN BEING WATCHING THE ENERGY USED IN PURSUING THESE DEADLY SINS. IF ANOTHER HUMAN HEART CAN BE SICKENING WHEN WATCHING SUCH EVIL COMMITTED CONTINUOUSLY, AND FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE PERIOD OF TIME, HOW MUCH MORE, WOULD THE HEART OF GOD BE GRIEVED AND MADE SICK, WHEN HE BEHOLDS SUCH ENERGY EXPENSED ON SUCH SINFUL ACTS!! EVEN BEFORE THE PERSON THOUGHT IN HIS OR IN HER HEART, OF COMMITTING ANY OF THESE SINS, THE SPIRIT OF GOD WOULD HAVE WARNED THE PERSON NOT TO EVEN CONSIDER IT, BUT TO RATHER `EXERCISE HIS OR HER CONSCIENCE TO BE FREE OF OFFENCE, TOWARDS GOD AND TOWARDS MAN`. IF SUCH WARNING STRIKES THE CONSCIENCE OF A BIBLE CHRISTIAN, HE OR SHE WOULD PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER THE HEART, AND BEG GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, IMMEDIATELY. SUCH THOUGHT THEN WOULD FLEE FROM THE CHRISTIAN, AND HE OR SHE WOULD HAVE NO CONDEMNATION IN THE HEART, BECAUSE IT IS NO SIN TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SIN IN THE HEART. IT CAN ONLY BECOME SIN, IF THE BAD THOUGHT IS ALLOWED TO LINGER AROUND THE HEART. THE RESULT COULD BE TO BEGIN TO URSE THAT THOUGHT, AND FINALLY TAKE ACTION, ACCORDING TO THE PRESENCE OF SUCH BAD THOUGHT. EVEN AFTER THE ACTION IS TAKEN, THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD SPEAK AGAIN TO THE PERSON, REPROVING THE PERSON, REQUESTING THE PERSON TO REPENT AND TO TURN AWAY FROM SUCH BAD THING/SIN. MOST SINNERS WOULD NOT LISTEN, BUT WOULD GO ON, DESPITE CONTINUOUS PLEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. SOMETIMES, THE LOVING FATHER IN HEAVEN, CAN ALLOW THE PERSISTENT SINNER TO SUFFER SOME PLEASANT THINGS, WHILST IN THE PURSUIT OF HIS OR HER WICKED WAY. GOD DOES THIS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE TERRIBLE CONSEQUENCES THAT THE PERSON IS ACCUMULATING FOR HIS OR FOR HER FUTURE. WITH THE LIGHT PUNISHMENT THAT GOD MAY SEND TO CORRECT THE SINNER WITH, GOD EXPECTS THE PERSON TO STOP THE EVIL PURSUITS, SITS DOWN AND CONSIDER THE LITTLE PUNISHMENT THAT HE OR SHE HAS ALREADY RECEIVED; AND REPENT, SO AS TO AVOID ACCUMULATING MORE, FOR WORSE FUTURE. THE SINNER CAN BE ADAMANT, AND MAY EVEN `SWEAR` NEVER TO STOP, UNTIL HE OR SHE GETS THAT WHICH HE PURSUES FOR. THEREFORE, THE SINNER CAN GO ON THE PURSUITS INDEFINATELY-MONTHS, OR EVEN DECACDES OF YEARS! AT A CERTAIN TIME, THE SPIRIT OF GOD COULD TAKE HIS FLIGHT, AND PLEADS NOLONGER WITH THAT WILFUL AND DETERMINED SINNER. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT, `MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN`. AT THAT STAGE, THE SINNER MAY NOT EVEN SUFFER ANY LOSS OR BE PUNISHED, LIGHTLY IN ANY FORM AGAIN-AS THE PUNISHMENT FOR HIS EVIL PURSUIT. THAT IS A DANGEROUS POSITION FOR THAT SINNER, BECAUSE HE OR SHE WOULD FEEL THAT, WHAT HE OR SHE IS DOING IS RIGHT. HE OR SHE THEN MAY BEGIN TO ENJOY THE EVIL PURSUIT, UNTIL HE OR SHE BECOMES A SLAVE TO IT, UNABLE TO THINK RIGHT AND TAKE THE RIGHT ACTION, YET UNKNOWN TO HIM THAT HE OR SHE IS BUILDING UP TOUBLES, DAILY, FOR THE FUTURE! GOD ONCE TOLD THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, HIS BELOVED NATION, THAT, HE WOULD LEAVE THEM TO CONTINUE IN THEIR SINS, AND THAT, HE WOULD MOCK AT THEM WHEN THEIR CALAMITY(TROUBLE) WOULD COME TO THEM. THE LOVING GOD EXPECTED THEM TO CALL ON HIM AT SUCH TIME, AND RECEIVED HELP. HE PROMISED TO FORGIVE THEM, AND TO DELIVER THEM, ONLY IF THEY WOULD REPENT AND RETURNED TO HIM. BUT A FEW OTHER TIMES, GOD PROMISED NOT TO EVEN HEAR THEM WHEN THEY WOULD CRY TO HIM FOR DELIVERANCE, BECAUSE, HE SAID THAT, WHEN HE HAD STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND TO DELIVER THEM, THEY DID NOT REGARD THE HAND, AND WHEN HE HAD CALLED THEM, THEY DID NOT LISTEN. GOD’S PROMISED ACTION, NOT TO HELP THEM, DURING THOSE TIMES OF THEIR TROUBLE, CAME AFTER SERIES OF WARNINGS AND PLEADINGS WITH THEM, BUT THEY WERE ADAMANT IN THEIR SINS. IT MEANS THEREFORE THAT, THERE IS A BOUNDARY FOR TOLERABCE, FOREBEARANCE, AND PATIANT FOR EVIL WORK. IF GOD THEN CAN WITHDRW, ATLEAST FOR A WHILE, AND ALLOWS A SINNER, WHOM HE MIGHT BE FADE UP WARNING AND PLEADING WITH, HOW MUCH MORE, A MORTAL MAN/WOMAN, WHO ONLY CAN DEPEND ON GOD FOR GRACE TO HOLD ON HANDS WITH THE WICKED-HER OR HIS ENEMY, WHOM HE HASN’T EVEN WRONGED, BUT SURFFERS UNSPEAKABLE FROM THE ENEMY! IF GOD DOES NOT GIVE THE GRACE, IT CAN NEVER BE DONE AS THE ENEMY MAY EXPECT, EVEN AFTER `REPENTANCE`. IMAGINE AN ENEMY WHOM YOU ARE SURE YOU HAVE DONE NO WRONG, ORDER THAN DOING THE WORK OF GOD WITHOUT PARTIALITY NOR FEARING MAN BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ONLY; IMAGINE SUCH AN ENEMY, PURSUING YOU LIKE A RAT, TO KILL, AND FOR MANY YEARS! WHEN HE OR SHE MAY FEEL THAT HE OR SHE WOULD NOT SUCCEED, THEN HE OR SHE, DECIDES TO FAKE REPENTANCE, AND YOU NOT KNOWING THE HEART, FORGIVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND BEGIN TO THINK OF RESUMING THE PAST GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PERSON. BUT SUDDENLY AGAIN, YOU HEAR THE ENEMY PROMISED THAT, HE OR SHE MUST FIGHT ON. YOUR HEART GRIEVES, FOR YOU THOUGHT HE OR SHE WAS FREE FROM GOD’S PLAN TO PUNISH A LOT. AGAIN, AFTER A WHILE, THE SAME PERSON FAKES REPENTANCE AGAIN, AND YOU NOT KNOWING THE HEART, FORGIVE AGAIN. IT COULD GO ON AND OFF LIKE THAT FOR A FEW MORE TIMES, AND THE PERSON IS STILL ON THE SAME EVIL/SIN. THEN ONE FINAL SAD DAY, YOU HEAR THE PERSON SWEAR THAT, HE OR SHE WILL NEVER STOP PURSUING YOUR LIFE, UNTIL HE OR SHE TAKES IT! THE WORST COULD BE THAT, THIS VERY ENEMY/ENEMIES, ARE COMMITTING ALL OTHER SORTS OF SINS, INCLUDING ABOMINATIONS OF ALL SORTS!!!! YOU AS A HUMAN BEING, IF THE PERSON `FAKES` REPENTANCE AGAIN, AFTER HIS OR HER FORMER DETERMINED HIGH TASTE VOW TO KILL YOU, WOULD IT BE THE RIGHT TIME TO EMBRACE HIM OR HER, AND BRING HIM OR HER INTO YOUR CLOSET. TO RESUME THE FORMER TRUSTED RELATIONSHIP WITH? MY ADVICE IS, DO NOT DO SO. THE BIBLE ADMONISHES EVERYONE TO BE `AS WISE AS A SERPENT, AND AS HARMLESS AS A DOVE`. EVEN IF YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE EXPECTED TO WALK AMONG THE `WOLVES`, WISELY. FORGIVE THE ENEMIES, ESPECIALLY THEY REPENT- WHEN THEY SAY THEY ARE, `NEW` PERSONS, AND HAVE REPENTED; BUT DON’T BE IN A HASTE TO TRUST THEM ANYMORE, OTHERWISE, YOU MAY BE CLEARING THE PATH FOR THEIR EASY WALK TO KILL YOU-THE PATH THEY COULDN’T CLAY TO BE ABLE TO KILL YOU WHEN THEY WERE PURSUING YOUR LIFE. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT, HUMAN BEING CAN TERMINATE YOUR LIFE, WHEN GOD HAS NOT FINISHED WITH YOUR LIFE ON EARTH YET, BUT DON’T `TEMPT` GOD, BY INVITING THEM TO KILL YOU, OR ATTEMPT TO KILL YOU. PRAY FOR THEM, ESPECIALLY TO CHANGE FROM THEIR EVIL PURSUITS, AND PREPARE FOR ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN. IF AT ALL SUCH ADAMANT AND DETERMINED ENEMIES, AS I DESCRIBED ABOVE, CAN GENUINELY CHANGE, LET THEM GO TO GOD FIRST, AND HAVE THE CONFIRMATION THAT THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED. ONCE GOD CAN TESTIFY THAT THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED, HE ALONE WOULD BE THE ONE, ABLE TO CONVINCE YOUR HEART THAT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY CHANGED; NOT THE TYPE OF PREVIOUSLY PROFESSED CHANGES THAT THEY HAD DECLARED TO YOU MANY TIMES. THIS TIME, THE CHANGE WOULD MEAN THAT, EVEN IF THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KILL YOU, A KNIFE IN THE HAND TO STAB YOU EASILY; BUT YET REFUSE TO DO SO, AND ACTUALLY HATED THEMSELVES, FOR EVER DESIRING TO KILL YOU, BEFORE, IN THE FIRST PLACE! THAT IS TRUE CHANGE. SAME CAN ALSO OCCUR, WHEN ANYONE CHANGES FROM ANY ABOMINABLE ACT HE OR SHE, MIGHT HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKING-THEY BEGIN TO HATE THE ACT, AND BE SORROWFUL THAT THEY EVER DESIRED SUCH. THAT IS CHANGE, AND GOD CAN FORGIVE, IF THEY ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS. GOD THEN COULD SPEAK TO HEARTS TO BELIEVE THAT, THEY HAVE GENUINELY CHANGED! SAME ADVICE THAT I HAVE GIVEN HERE ABOVE, IS FOR ME TOO-MY ACTIONS TOWARDS ALL THOSE WHO HATE ME, AND HAVE FALLEN INTO THE DESCRIPTION I MADE EARLIER HERE. THEY HAVE TO GO TO GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FIRST, AND WHEN YOU ARE SURE HE HAS FORGIVEN YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE GENUINELY REPENTED AND FORSAKE YOUR EVIL WAY; THEN, YOU CAN EXPECT THAT I HAVE ALSO FORGIVEN YOU, AND MAY BE READY TO RESUME THE PREVIOUS TRUSTED RELATIONSHIP OF `BROTHERLY/SISTERLY LOVE THAT WE ONCE HAD. SURE GOD WOULD SPEAK TO ME THAT I AM THEN SAFE WITH YOUR CLOSE COMPANY. BUT FOR NOW, JUST BELIEVE THAT I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU, ESPECIALLY IF I SEE SIGNS, OR MOSTLY, HEAR VERBALLY FROM YOU; BUT DON’T EXPECT ME TO TRUST YOU AGAIN, NOR BRING YOU INTO MY CLOSET RELATIONSHIP. GOD ONLY CAN CONVINCE ME TO DO SO, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT, YOU HAVE FIRST OF ALL GONE TO HIM, AND OBTAIN THE FORGIVENESS.
HOW FRUSTRATED WAS MY SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST, BEFORE HE WAS FORCED TO ABANDON HIS VERY CITY THAT WAS HIS BIRTH CITY; ALL BECAUSE OF SIN OF UNBELIEF, IN THE HEART OF MANY!!!!
SPECIAL BIBLE QUIZ FOR 28/10/24.
FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCES OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT, WHEN SOMEONE IS SAD AND HEART-BROKEN, BUT OBEYS GOD, CARRYING OUT THE TASK THAT GOD WANTS THE PERSON TO DO RIGHT THEN; MY EXPERINCE IS THAT, THE RESULT OF SUCH OBEDIENCE IS OFTEN BOUNTEOUS, FROM THE GOD THAT HE OR SHE OBEYS! RIGHT NOW, I AM THAT PERSON TOO, WITH HEARTBREAK, BUT OBEYING GOD RIGHT NOW. SO, I’M EXPECTING MY BOUNTEOUS BLESSING, FOR THIS OBEDIENCE.
I HAVE TO BRING OUT THIS MESSAGE, JUST AS I AM STRUGGLING TO DO SO, BECAUSE I DON’T FEEL QUALIFIED TO DO SO, ESPECIALLY AS I AM NOT SOUND IN MY SITUATION RIGHT NOW.
TO BEGIN WITH, I DO NOT FULLY SUPPORT THE POST BELOW, FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE TOO, BUT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THAT, A `SOWER OF SEED HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SOWING THE SEED`. PREACHING THE WORD OF GOD IS A NECESITY, JUST AS PAUL THE APOSTLE SAID. EVEN WHEN THE FRUIT OF THE LABOUR IS FAR AWAY FROM SIGHT, JUST SOW THE GOOD SEED OF THE GOSPEL, IF GOD CALLS YOU TO DO SO. OFTEN, IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, I SOMETIMES GET VERY DISCOURAGED AFTER A SERVICE AT HIM, BECAUSE THE NEXT MOMENT, THE SOME CHARACTERS DISPLAYED BY PEOPLE YOU THINK WOULD BE THE PARTAKERS OF THE GOODNESS OF THE SERVICE, TEND TO BE FAR OPPOSITE THAT EXPECTATION. I PAUSE HERE TO THANK GOD FOR THE GRACE OF CONTINUITY, AND FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO BRING ME COURAGEONE WAY OR THE OTHER, AND FROM TIME TO TIME. GOD BLESS YOU SPIRITUALLY, AND PHYSICALLY TOO. THANKS LOVE. MAY HE FEED ME WITH SUFFICIENT GRACE TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT HE EXPECTS OF ME, JOYFULLY TO THE END. AMEN. IT SHOULD BE TRUE THAT, WISEMEN/WOMEN, SHOULD SAY SOMETHING NECESSARY, IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE NOISE OF FOOLS, OR EVEN TO STOP THE USELESS NOISE. BUT IT IS NOT THAT EASY, SOMETIMES IT CAN SEEMINGLY WORSEN THE SITUATION, UNTIL GOD MAKES A STOP TO THE EVIL THAT MAY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED.THEREFORE, IT IS REASONABLE FOR EVEN THE WISEMEN OR THE WISEWOMEN, TO MAKE SURE FIRST THAT, THEIR VOICE IS HEARD, ONLY IF THEY ARE TRULY WORTHY TO SPEAK, AND IF THEY FEEL THEY MUST SPEAK, THE TIMING RIGHT TOO. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR A CHRISTIAN TO MAKE SURE THAT, HE OR SHE IS SENT TO CARRY OUT A TASK, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THAT TASK MAY BE; SO THAT, WHATSOEVER THE CONSEQUENCE OF OBEYING FOR THAT TASK, HE OR SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO BEAR, OR EVEN ENJOY. IF THE RESULT IS BAD, HE OR SHE CAN TAKE IT BACK TO GOD IN PRAYER, AND EXPECT GOD TO FIGHT FOR HIM OR FOR HER. CAN YOU IMAGINE STRUGGLING TO OBEY GOD, AND AFTER THE OBEDIENCE, INSTEAD OF GOOD REWARD IMMEDIATELY, ALL YOU SEE OR RECEIVE, IS OPPOSITION AND PERSECUTION! CAN YOU IMAGINE SURFERING FROM AN ILNESS YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT CAME ON YOU, BUT INSTEAD OF SYMPATHY FROM SOMEONE, SOMEONE TURNS AROUND, CRITICISING YOU AND BLAMING YOU FOR CAUSING YOURSELF THE DISEASE! I ONCE WOKE UP ONE DAY, AND SAW MY FACE WITH SOME LIGHT PATCHES OF BURNS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD CLEAR UP SOON, BUT RATHER, IT GOT WORSE EVERYDAY. MY FAMILY AND A FEW FRIENDS WHO SINCERELY ASKED ME WHY MY FACE HAD CHANGED, AND I HAD SINCERELY TOLD THEM MY INNOCENCE, REALLY PITIED ME. EVEN WHEN I WAS A SINNER, I NEVER BLEACHED MY SKIN. MY PRAYERS DAILY FOR GOD TO RETURN MY FACE TO NORMAL, SEEMED TO YEILD NO FRUIT, FOR THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORSE, YET, I HAD TO MANAGE IT THAT WAY, WHILST GOING ABOUT WORKING FOR GOD, EVEN IN THE CHURCH. I DIDN’T WANT SUCH A THING TO HINDER ME FROM SERVING GOD. TO MY SURPRISE ONE DAY, A CHURCH MEMBER SPOKE OUT THAT, A CHRISTIAN WOMAN SHOULD NOT BLEACH HER SKIN! I THEN REALISE WHY MANY DID NOT ASK ME ABOUT THE TERRIBLE CHANGE TO ME FACE. THE REASON WAS THAT, THEY ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER-I WAS BLEACHING! I MADE AN ATTEMPT TO STAND UP AND TESTIFY, SO AS TO BRING IN THAT ISSUE THAT I WAS NOT BLEACHING, SO THAT I COULD HELP CLEAR THE BAD IMAGINATION FROM THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE, LEST GOD SHOULD PUNISH THEM FOR THE FALSE ACUSATION. BUT GOD STOPPED ME FROM EXPLAINING MYSELF, EACH TIME THAT I WANTED TO DO SO. LATER, HE LET ME KNOW THAT, I HAD ALREADY DISPLAYED BEFORE THE CONGREGATION THAT I HAD BEEN WITH FOR OVER 20YEARS, THEN; GOD LET ME KNOW THE GOOD GOSPLE STANDARDS THAT I HAD ALREADY DISPLAYED, WHICH SHOULD HAVE HEKPED SOMEONE TO EMULATE, AND THIS TIME, CONVINCED THE PERSON TO BELIEVE THAT, WITH MY HIGH STANDARD IN THE GOSPEL, BLEACHING MY SKIN WOULD BE OUT OF QUESTION. MY PRAYER, AFTER HEARING THAT, WAS THAT, GOD SHOULD SEND ANYONE THAT WAS HAVING THAT BAD THOUGHT OF ME BLEACHING, TO COME AND ASK ME WHY MY FACE WAS LIKE THAT. I WAS WILLING TO EXPLAIN, SO THAT SATAN WOULD NOT PUT SOMEONE IN TROUBLE BECAUSE OF WRONG THOUGHTS AGAINST ME. I LEARN EVERYDAY AS I TRAVEL TO THE KINGDOM WHERE THERE IS NO SIN. DURING THAT TIME, I LEARNED MORE OF MAKING SURE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD WAS ALL THAT MATTERS IN MY LIFE, BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE WHO SEES DEEP INTO THE INTENTS OF THE HEARTS OF MEN/WOMEN. HE DIRECTS FOR PERFECT PURPOSES, HE GUIDES, HE PROTECTS, HE COMFORTS, LOVES, AND HE REWARDS EVERY GOOD DEED WITH GOOD THINGS. BUT HE PUNISHES, IF MISTAKE IS MADE, JUST TO BRING HIS CHILD BACK ON TRACT. THAT IS THE GOD THAT I OWE ALL MY ALLEGEINCE, TRUST, HONOUR, PRAISE, AND LOVE IN THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!! HE IS MY COMFORT, WHEN I AM ACUSED OF THINGS I CANNOT IMAGINE MYSELF DOING, AS I FOCUS TO MAKE HEAVEN MY FINAL ETERNAL HOME, AT ALL COST!!!!
FINALLY, IT IS A MUST, A NECESITY, AS IT IS LAID UPON ME, THAT I CORRECT THE MISTAKE THAT I BELIEVE A TEACHER MADE YESTERDAY, DURING SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON. HE REPEATED THE SAME STATEMENT MORE THAN THREE TIMES. IF IT WERE JUST ONCE, I WOULD ONLY PRAY THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE HEARD IT; AND EVEN IF MANY HEARD, SOME WOULD THINK IT WAS ONLY A SLIP OF TONGUE. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, MIGHT BE, GOD WOULD NOT IMPRESS IT UPON MY HEART, TO CORRECT IT.
THE TEACHER SAID THAT, EVERYBODY WILL STAND BEFORE GOD, DURING THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGMENT-THE THRONE OF THE JUDGEMET OF GOD(DURING THE WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT). THE TEACHER SAID IT WILL BE THERE THAT EVERYBODY WILL RECEIVE THE REWARD OF HIS OR HER WORKS WHILST ON EARTH. AS FAR AS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE IS, OVERCOMING SAINTS OF GOD, SHALL NOT APPEAR ON THAT JUDGEMENT SEAT OF GOD. EACH SAINT HAS ALREADY SENT UP HIS SINS TO BE JUDGED, AND THAT SAINT IS AQUITTED AND MADE FREE FROM SIN, WHILST HERE ON EARTH. HIS SINS ARE WASHED AWAY, AND HE OR SHE IS BLAMELESS BEFORE GOD, AS LONG AS HE OR SHE DOES NOT GO BACK INTO SIN. IF HE OR SHE DIES WITHOUT SIN, HE OR SHE GOES INTO THE PARADISE OF GOD, AWAITING THE RAPTURE OF THE SAINTS, INTO THE MARRIAGE SUPER OF THE LAMB. AT THE WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT, ALL SINNERS WILL APEAR THERE, AND WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE CONDEMNED INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE, TO BURN THERE ETERNALLY. BECAUSE THE SOUL WILL STILL BE ALERT, THEREFORE THE FLESH WILL FEEL THE PUNISHMENT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE SAINTS OF GOD SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOREVER, AFTER THE MARRIAGE SUPER, AND AFTER THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT OF GOD.
THE BIBLE, TALKES ABOUT JUDGMENT FOR THE SAINTS OF GOD. THAT JUDGEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE MILENIAL REIGN OF CHRIST, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS WHY THE BIBLE SAYS, `WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGEMENT SEAT OF CHRIST`. I UNDERSTAND IT TO MEAN THAT, JESUS CHRIST, WILL BE THE JUDGE THEN-JUDGING THE SAINTS. IT IS THAT TIME THAT HE WILL GIVE OUT AUTHORITY TO THE SAINTS, TO RULE OVER ONE, OR TWO, OR MANY ANOTHER,NATIONS OF THE EARTH, BEFORE THE EARTH SHALL BE DESTROYED, EVEN THE HEAVEN, WHERE THE FEET OF SINNERS HAD STOOD, WHILST THEY WERE RECEIVING THEIR FINAL DOOM. NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH, SHALL SUDDENLY EMERGED FOR THE SAINTS TO ENJOY ETERNALLY!!
I PRAY THE EXPLANATION ABOVE HELPS THAT LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER OF YESTERDAY. I PRAY THE PERSON DOES NOT FEEL BAD OR ASHAMED FOR THE CORRECTION, KNOWING THAT, NO CHRISTIAN KNOWS IT ALL HERE ON EARTH. IT IS WHEN A CHRISTIAN MAKES IT TO HEAVEN FINALLY, BY GOD’S GRACE, THAT HE OR SHE WOULD KNOW BETTER, WITH JESUS BY HIS SIDE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION. CHURCH ATTENDANCES, ALL THROUGH YOUR LIFE ON EARTH, CAN NOT GIVE YOU THAT PRIVILAGE. IMPLICIT OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, BOTH THE ONES WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, AND ANY PERSONAL COMMANDMENT THAT GOD MAY FIND YOU QUALIFIED TO BE GIVEN, MAY BE BECAUSE YOU ARE SEEN BY HIM AS `SPECIAL` BELOVED CHILD OF HIS, SUCH OPPORTUNITY WILL GIVE YOU THE PRIVILAGE TO SEE JESUS CHRIST, FACE TO FACE, ONE DAY, AND WEAR A CROWN WITH SOME STARS ON IT. KEEP IN MIND ALWAYS, THE ADVICE OF SOLOMON, `FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENT, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN`. THAT IS THE KEY TO `GOOD` SUCCESS HERE ON EARTH, AND AFTER HERE. THERE ARE MANY SUCCESSES ON EARTH, BUT A BIBLE CHRISTIAN LABOURS DAILY, FOR THAT `GOOD` SUCCESS.
BIBLE QUIZ FOR FOR 30/05/24.
This is our SECOND SERVICE for this week, following our promise, in Gratitude to God for Helping us to Locate our LOST QUESANSER FILE. We promise to SERVE THREE TIMES THIS WEEK, INSTEAD OF OUR USUAL `ONCE-IN-A-WEEK Practice. Tomorrow will bring our THIRD SERVICE for this week, and that will be the end. Since our Year’s Work Schedule for Month of May, only involes BIBLE QUIZ and QUESANSER, we have decided to Serve on BIBLE QUIZ, again, although we still have one for tomorrow(ANSWER TO THE ONE OF LAST WEEK).
For the fact that, the month of May ends this week, we are going to provide answers to the Quiz below, same time with the question too.
QUIZ QUESTIONS:
- 1) FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING AND BENEFITTING FROM OUR SERVICES, EITHER OFFICIALLY FROM OUR WEBSITE, OR FROM MANDU’S PRIVATE ARTICLES ON FACEBOOKS OR ON OTHER PLATEFORM:
HOW FAR HAVE THESE SERVICES IMPROVE YOUR SPIRITUAL STANDING AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD NOW?
ANSWER 1)
IF ALL OUR SERVICES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS, SO THAT YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM THEM, SPIRITUALLY,IF YOU ARE STILL THE SAME IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, YOU ARE RUNNING VERY LATE, AND MAY SOON FALLINTO THE CATEGORY THAT OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION 2 BELOW HERE, TALKS ABOUT! SO, PLEASE PRAY URGENTLY FOR GOD TO BREAK THROUGH YOUR HEART, THAT YOUMAY BEGIN TO ABSORB THE NUTREINTS FOR THE NECESSARY GROWTH.
2} IF YOU STARTED HAVING ACCESS TO OUR SERVICES WHEN YOU WERE AN ATHIEST, NOT BELIEVING THAT GOD DOES EXIST, DO YOU NOW BELIEVE THAT GOD ALMIGHTY DOES EXIST, AND THAT HIS ABODE IS IN HEAVEN?
ANSWER 2):
IF YOU ARE STILL IN THAT STAGE OF STILL NOT BELIEVING THAT THE IS A SUPREME BEING ABOVE, YOU ARE PROBABLY AMONG THE GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT THE BIBLE SAYS THAT; `THEY HAVE EYES, BUT CANNOT SEE, THEY HAVE EARS, BUT CANNOT HEAR; BECAUSE GOD HAS BLOCKED THEIR EARS, SO THAT THEY CANNOT HEAR THE WORD OF GOD; HE HAS MADE THEM BLIND, SO THAT THEY CANNOT SEE THE WAY OF DANGER AND AVOID, BECAUSE GOD WANTED THEM TO PERISH`. Well, that may surprise you, why The Loving and Merciful God Could Do that! Yes, God Did that to those set of HARDENED SINNERS, because THEY ALREADY CHOSE TO REMAIN BLIND, AND DEAF TOWARDS THE MESSAGES OF GOD THAT GOD IN HIS LOVE, HAD BEENSENDING THEIR WAY, FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME, YET THEY REPENTED NOT, NOR DESIRDE TO REPENT. SO, GOD, SEEING THEY WOULD NEVER REPENT NOR CHANGE FOR THEIR GOOD, DID HELP THEM TO REMAIN UNCHANGED KNOWING THEY ARE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY TO PEDITION! PRAY THAT YOU DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES NOR YOUR EARS TO ALL THE SIGNS AND WONDERS THAT GOD IS DISPLAYING ON EARTH, TO PROOF HIS SUPREME EXISTENCE.
3) IF YOU HAD ALREADY BEEN A BELIEVER IN GOD, DO YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT THE BIBLE SAYS, INCLUDING THAT, THERE IS HEAVEN TO GO TO AND ENJOY AFTER THIS WORLD, AND THAT, THERE IS HELL TO GO TO AND TO SUFFER THERE FOREVER, IF ONE DEPARTS THIS WORLD STILL AS A SINNER?
ANSWER 3):
IT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR EXISTENCE, TO BELIEVE THESE THINGS, AND ALL OTHER THINGS AS CONTAINED IN THE BIBLE, OTHERWISE, YOU RISK YOUR ETERNITY.
- b) HAVE YOU THEN MADE YOURSELF READY TO LIVE IN THE BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN WITH GOD FOREVER, OR HAVE YOU UNWISELY SETTLED FOR HELL?
ANSWER B):
HOW CAN ANYONE PREPARE FOR SUFFERING AND AGONY THAT WILL NEVER END! WITH CORRECT SENSES, NOTHING CAN FULLY PREPARE SOMEONE FOR THAT TRAGIC ENDING! SO, DO NOT BELITTLE YOURSELF FOR SATANTO DECIEVE YOU AND TRAP YOU TO SUCH LEVEL, NEVER!
4) THE BIBLE IS ALSO FULL OF RICH PROMISES FROM GOD, INCLUDING HEALING FOR SICK BODY, AND PROVISION FOR EVERY NEEDS. HOW MANY OF THESE PROMISES HAVE YOU ALREADY BENEFITED FROM?
ANSWER(4):
You CANNOT collect ALL the Blessings that are waiting for you, as are Told in the Bible, UNLESS YOU FULLY BELIEVE THAT, THOSE RICH PROMISES AND BLESSINGS, ARE FOR YOU TOO. You CANNOT collect ALL the Blessings that are due for you to collect, through The Mercy of God, and because of THE BLOOD OF JESUS; you cannot collect them all, if you DO NOT ASK for those Blessings. IT MEANS THEREFORE THAT, YOU MUST PRAY TO GOD AND TELL HIM ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT, THEN HUMBLY BEGG HIM TO GIVE IT TO YOU. HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT YOU WANT, BUT HE WANTS YOU TO PAY A LITTLE PRICE TO OBTAIN IT, AND THEN OBTAIN YOUR HEART’S DESIRE. BUT IMAGINE HOW EASY AND SMALL, THE PRICE HE WANTS YOU TO PAY, IS-A SIMPLE TRUST IN HIS POWER TO PROVIDE, AND JUST A LITTLE TALK OR SOMETIMES, AGONIZING TALK (DEPENDING ON THE ISSUE YOU PRESENT TO HIM FOR SOLUTION) WITH HIM, COMPARED TO THE AGONY THAT JESUS WENT THROUGH ON THE CROSS, TO PAVE THE WAY FOR ALL YOUR BLESSINGS, ESPECIALLY YOUR SIN-FORGIVENESS!! However, He Loves you so much that, He Will not Give you the desire of your heart that could bring you into a WORSE SITUATION THAN YOU WERE. But whatsoever He Brings to you as the result of your request to Him, He Can Bring you SATISFIED HEART TOO, TO ENJOY AND BE HAPPY WITH CONTENTED IN, FOR WHAT HE OFFERS YOU. So, if you are not satisfied with what God Gives you NOW, PRAY FOR THE SATISFACTION AND HAPPINESS, TOWARDS ALL WHAT GOD GIVES TO YOU AT HAND.

ANSWER TO THE BIBLE QUIZ ABOVE-24/05/24.
QUESTION 1:
SUMMARY FOR THE BIBLE READING PORTION A) JUDGE RIGHTEOUSLY WITHOUT HYPOCRISY.
B) DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE DONE TO YOU, AND WITH REGARD TO THE POOR.
QUESTION 2:
DEAD-CONSCIENCE: Many today, are SELF-LOVERS, that means that, they can do anything to make themselves comfortable, regardless of the impact that their action can bring to another person, their home, family, community, church, the country, or even the world at large! They would not mind any bad or worst consequence to others, provided they SATISFY THEIR DESIRE AND REACH THE GOAL THEY SET FOR THEMSELVES. But imagine, if every living human being would FEAR THE ANGER OF GOD, AND DO TO OTHERS, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE OTHERS TO DO TO THEM!
JUSTICE: Often, justice is lost, when someone or group of people judges a situation or another person, especially SOMEONE THEY HATE. A leader of an organization was brought into a case to pass judgement between a couple that he TRULY KNEW that, they had been RIGHTFULL(BEFORE GOD AND MAN) MARRIED for over 20years. This leader had witnessed the marriage flourished, as much as a marriage could, and had even turned out to be one of the happiest marriages around him. But years after, and suddenly, when the leader needed some points to support his selfish goal someday, he CLEARLY DENIED that HE EVER KNEW THE COULPLE WERE IN THE RIGHT MARRIAGE!!!! He as the leader, could have been the immediate human witness around this couple at this time, and he could have been the right person to REBUKE the man who was also like this leader himself; both looking for some points to carry out their individual evil desires and plans. But unfortunately, even the leader, joined hand with his devilish friend, to bring the innocent woman into contempt! Our reading portion above, condemns INJUSTICE, SELFISHNESS, VICTIMIZATION AND FALSE WITNESS.
TAKING A STAND FOR RIGHT: People today like to GO WITH THE CROWD, even iwhen they know that, the CROWD IS HEADING THE WRONG WAY. Many peolple do not like to be seen as being `ODD`, even if they know that they are being isolated for the GOOD, RESPECTABLE AND HONEST CAUSES THAT PLEASE GOD, AND SEEN AS GOOD TO DO, WHICH THEY ARE DOING, ALONG WITH JUST A SMALL SECTION OF THE WORLD WHO ARE MANNERED AS HIM OR AS HER. Among the youth, they could face peer-pressure sometimes, because of being alone, practising GOOD MORALITY, against the choices of his or her other youths. There are some testimonies, especially from someone around us at HIM. The person used to testify that, he used to be mocked at in his school, because of his firm stand for Biblical Standards. But he used to conclude that testimony with comparing his life at the present, and as a family man now, with the life of his former school mates who used to riducle him; and would say that, none of them reached the level that God had Placed him in life.. For anybody who TAKES A FIRM AND BOLD STAND TO DO WHATEVER HE OR SHE KNOWS THAT IS GOOD AND REPUTABLE TO DO IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS ALWAYS A BLESSING//BLESSINGS FOR SUCH PERSON, FROM GOD. The beginning may be rough for the person, but sooner or later, THE REWARD WILL COME TO THE PERSON HERE, OR AFTER HERE, OR AT BOTH WORLDS. GOD TAKES NOTICE OF EVERY SINCERE STRUGGLE OF ANYBODY, TO DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT, BRINGING PLEASURE TO GOD, AND DECENCY TO THIS WORLD.
BIBLE QUIZ FOR 06/05/24.
THE BIBLE READING PORTION BELOW, WAS MY ROUTINE DAILY BIBLE READING, WHICH I DO ONE CHAPTER EVERYDAY, IN A SEQUENTIAL MANNER; FOR EXAMPLE, YESTERDAY WAS EZEKIEL CHAPTER 8. TODAY CHAPTER 9, AND TOMORROW WILL BE CHAPTER 10 ETC. SINCE WE WERE TO SERVE ON BIBLE QUIZ STILL, I FELT, AS THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, THAT I SHOULD SHARE MY PERSONAL BIBLE READING WITH YOU HERE.

QUESTION 1.
AFTER GOING THROUGH THE READING PORTION, WHAT CATEGORY OF PEOPLE WAS GOD ADDRESSING HERE, THROUGH EZEKIEL?
QUESTION 2.
GOD IS A GOD OF MERCY, AND DOES FORGIVE ANYONE WHO REPENTS GENUINELY OF HIS OR OF HER SINS/MISTAKES. WHY DID GOD SAY HE WOULD NOT FORGIVE THIS SET OF PEOPLE, EVEN IF THEY REPENTED, IN THIS CHAPTER?
B) A FEW AMONG THIS PEOPLE, WOULD NOT RECIEVE THE PUNISHMENT THAT GOD PLANNED TO SEND TO THIS SET OF PEOPLE. WHY WOULD THIS FEW AMONG THEM. ESCAPE THE NATIONAL PUNISHMENT FROM GOD; AND WHAT LESSON DOES THIS TEACH TODAY?
QUESTION 3.
EZEKIEL WAS ONLY A MESSENGER OF GOD TO THIS SET OF PEOPLE, IS THERE SOMETHING HE COULD HAVE DONE TO CHANGE THE MIND OF GOD , AND THEREFORE CAUSE GOD TO FORGIVE THIS PEOPLE?
AS THE NATURE OF OUR BIBLE QUIZ IS, WE NORMALLY PROVIDE ANSWERS AFTER QUESTIONS-TWO WEEKS AFTER THE QUESTIONS. BUT SINCE WE DO NOT TAKE THE USUAL PATTERN THIS TIME, FOR THE QUESTIONS ABOVE, WE WILL POST ANSWERS FOR THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, NEXT WEEK MONDAY. THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPARE YOUR ANSWERS WITH OURS. PLEASE WRITE DOWN YOUR ANSWERS, SO YOU WONT FORGET.
QUIZ ANSWER FOR THE BIBLE QUIZ ABOVE-EZEKIEL 9:4-11:
ANSWER TO QUESTION 1.
God was Speaking to the children of Israel, His Own people. They were in a BACKSLIDING STAGE, at this time.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2.
The previous chapters of Ezekiel, and the previous Book-Jeremiah, Record SEVERAL MESSAGES that God Sent to this people-the children of Israel, PLEADING WITH THEM TO REPENT, AND WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD ALONE. But they refused to repent, rather, CONTINUED TO WORSHIP THEIR IDOLS. The Prophets of God WARNED THEM, AND TOLD THEM CLEARLY WHAT WOULD BE THEIR PUNISHMENT FROM GOD, YET THEY BELIEVE IT NOT. So, they left God with no option, but to BRING to them BEFORE THEIR EYES, the FULFILMENT of God's Word and the Punishment, which they believed not. They only BELIEVED, WHEN THEY SAW THE PUNISHMENT FULFILED. The lesson everyone in this present world can take from this, is that, THERE IS A LIMIT THAT MAN CAN REJECT GOD'S MERCY, AND STILL RECIVE MERCY. God is Merciful, and Ready to Forgive any sinner, his or her sins, no matter how terrible are such sins. The Spirit of God is Continually Pleading with sinners to repent, and Clearly Declares that, THERE IS WAGES FOR SIN. But it is only God Who Knows when a sinner CROSSES THE BORDER-LINE FOR FORGIVENESS. To add to that, THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS IN THE GRAVE. A sinner who dies in his sin, has no alternative DESTINATION, BUT TO GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE, AND BE TORMENTED THERE, FOREVER. The Bible Says that, `if you would hear His Voice, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART`; `TODAY, IS THE DAY OF SALVATION, TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE`.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 2B.
God is a FAITHFUL GOD, AND JUDGES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS TOO. He was to POUR out His Fury upon the `REBELLIOUS` children of Israel. But our Reading Portion above, Mentioned that, there were a few people who were SAD BECAUSE OF THE MAJORITY WHO REFUSED TO OBEY GOD, AND TURNED FROM THEIR IDOL WORSHIP. These few people were in constant weeping, because of the sins of the majority, and God's Promise to Punish the whole Nation. But God Took Note of these few people, who were not like the rest of them. So, God Told Ezekiel what to do to them, so that when the judgement(THE SWORD) would come to claim some of the people, THE FEW WOULD BE SAVED! So it is today, when God's earthly Judgement Falls on a FAMILY, A COMMUNITY, A GROUP OF PEOPLE, OR TO THE WHOLE WORLD, THE INNOCENT WOULD SUFFER THE LEAST, OR NOT AT ALL! The whole City of AI, in the Bible, was DESTROYED BECAUSE OF SIN, BUT RAHAB, AND HER FAMILY, WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WERE SAVED; BECAUSE THEY FEARED THE GOD OF ISRAEL, AND DESIRED TO GO WITH THEM AND WORSHIP THEIR TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH! Also, TWO CITIES OF SODOM AND GOMERAH WERE TOTALLY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF HOMOSEXUALITY PRACTICES; BUT ONLY LOT AND HIS FAMILY, WENT OUT OF THE CITY, ALIVE(the wife disobeyed The last Instruction of God, that Lot and the family should flee out from the city, and LOOKED NOT BACK TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CITY. BUT AS THEY FLEE OUT, LOT'S WIFE TURNED HER EYES AND LOOKED BACK. SHE TURNED INTO THE `PILAR OF SALT`-DIED). So it is today, even in a family, some may be saved or Blessed abundantly by God, whilst some may be lower beneath. God Gives out liberally to everyone on earth, out of His Mercy, but HIS EYES ARE ON THE SPARROW-SPECIALLY ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, AND PARTICULARLY ON THOSE WHO FEAR AND OBEY HIM!! ADDITION TODAY(15/05/24): Please see Ezekiel14:13-20. I came across these verses when I was going through my daily Bible Exercise this morning. Use it to support the points I make above.
ANSWER TO QUESTION 3.
Ezekiel, was only a Messenger of God, and he actually suffered quite a lot in the hand of his people, because he brought The Word of God to them. They did not like to hear the evil that Ezekiel prophsised to them. They imprisoned Jeremiah, the Prophet of God, because of prophesying the same evil to them. These Prophets were only OBEYING GOD, AND TOOK THE WORD OF GOD TO THEM. One time, they put Jeremiah in prison and other evils, they did to him, FOR OBEYING GOD, AND FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH. Ezekiel could have PRAYED FOR THIS PEOPLE, just as human being, playing his part. BUT IF GOD HAD DETERMINED TO PUNISH THIS STIFF-NAKED AND REBELLIOUS SET OF PEOPLE(THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL), THEN NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER, WOULD HAVE CHANGED GOD'S PLAN TO PUNISH THEM. So it is today, PRAYER WORKS, AND IT IS GOOD FOR CHRISTIANS OR ANYBODY, TO PTAY FOR PEOPLE AND THE WORLD. PRAYER CAN CHANGE THE MIND OF GOD, AND INSTEAD OF PUNISHING AS HE HAS PLANNED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF PEOPLE, OR NATION; HE CAN FORGIVE AND BLESS THE PEOPLE instead. He Changed His Plan to Destroy the City of Niniveh, BUT He ONLY CHANGED BECAUSE THE PEOPLE, BEGINNING FROM THE KING, REPENTED OF THEIR SINS, WHEN THEY HEARD THE PLAN OF GOD TO DESTROY THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS, THROUGH JONAH. So, sometimes, THERE IS NO AMOUNT OF PRAYER THAT CAN CHANGE WHAT GOD HAS DETERMINED TO DO TO AN INDIVIDUAL, OR TO A GROUP. THAT IS WHY PEOPLE SHOULD NOT INSIST IN DOING EVIL,, CONTINUALLY.
PREVIOUS QUIZ:
Before you can benefit a lot, or benefit in full from the Services that we offer, be it our regular ON-LINE Services or our outdoor Services, YOUR HEART HAS TO BE RIGHT WITH US. If there is anger or hatred in your heart for any of us, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU(Eka Uyom), you may never be SATISFIED with anything we do. Even our best Service, may not make you happy, therefore, you may not concentrate in the Service, absorb it with the Meaning Portrayed, and ponder on the Meaning to make a CHANGE in your heart, or in your soul. We now ask you these important questions below:
1) IS THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU, SOMEONE YOU LIKE, AND CAN PRAY FOR HER AND FOR THE WORK OF GOD IN HER HAND TO PROSPER?
2) IF SHE IS NOT SOMEONE YOU LIKE, AND CAN COUNT IN AMONG THOSE YOU WISH WELL IN LIFE, WHAT IS, OR WHAT ARE THE REASONS?
BEFORE YOU CAN ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION ACURATELY, ARE YOU A PERSON WITH GOOD MORALES IN THE SOCIETY THAT YOU LIVE, OR IS THERE ANY OUTSTANDING AND CONTROVERSIAL PART OF YOUR LIFE THAT IS NOT POPULARLY COMMENDABLE BY PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
4) EVEN IF EVERYBODY AROUND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE LIFE-STYLE THAT YOU LIVE, IS GOD, YOUR CREATOR, HAPPY WITH YOU TOO?
5) IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF THE ANSWER TO THE LAST QUESTION, IS YOUR CONSCIENCE A `LIVING` ONE, OR NOTHING REALLY CONDEMNS YOUR CONSCIENCE, EVEN IF YOU KILL AN INNOCENT PERSON, OR TAKE AWAY THE LITTLE THAT A POOR PERSON HAS, TO ADD TO THE MUCH THAT YOU HAVE?
6) CAN YOU HUMBLE YOUR HEART FOR JUST TWENTY MINUTES, KNEEL DOWN, AND TELL GOD, `PLEASE SEARCH ME, AND TELL ME WHO AM REALLY ARE`?
7) IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY YOU ARE, AND WHETHER YOUR LIFE/LIFE-TYLE IS PLEASING TO GOD, GOD WILL REVEAL ATLEAST A LITTLE, OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN YOUR LIFE, AND IF YOU BELIEVE HIM, CAN YOU GO A LITTLE DEEPER IN YOUR HUMILITY, AND BEG HIM TO FORGIVE YOU, BUT CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR BETTER?
The above are all the questions we believe you need ANSWERS to, before you can continue to hate Eka Uyom/Mandu, or begin to like her. If your answers are from God, but you continue to hate her, you WILL BE TROUBLING YOUR HOUSE AND YOURSELF NOW, AND YOUR FUTURE LIFE TOO. Nobody likes TROUBLE, so, if you have not yet got into trouble for HATING AND FOR FIGHTING TO KILL MANDU, praise God for that, but HURRY, TO END YOUR FIGHT AGAINST MANDU BEFORE YOU REGRET IT FOR LIFE. LEAVE HER FOR THE GOD WHO SEES THROUGH THE HEART OF MAN, TO JUDGE HER, ACCORDING TO WHO SHE IS(if that is His Desire), else, she may depart for a BETTER/BEST LIFE, whilst you remain for a short time, and SUFFER ALL THROUGH THAT SHORT TIME ON EARTH, AND IF YOU DONT STILL REPENT OF YOUR SINS AND PREPARE FOR HEAVEN, YOU DEPART ALSO INTO AN EVERLASTING SORROW IN THE LAKE OF FIRE! I believe that is NOT WHAT A SENSIBLE PERSON WOULD PLAN FOR, AND I SINCERELY PRAY YOU RECEIVE NEITHER OF THESE HERE, NOR AFTER HERE. AMEN!
OUR ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS ABOVE:
Before we fully and officially resume all our Services for this year, 2024, we Feel Led to begin with bringing Answers to the questions we asked here, last year Christmas. This is in an attempt to SETTLE ANY MALICE, HATRED, EGO ETC, THAT MIGHT HAVE EXISTED IN THE HEART OF SOMEONE AGAINST US, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE PROPRIETOR OF HATIFMANDU.
The Bible Admonishes Christians to settle any quarrel or problem that may exist between one another. The Bible Says that, a Christian’s prayer could be HINDERED, if there is bitterness in the heart of the person(against someone) who prays. Therefore, if the person brings an OFFERING to God(offer of prayer, self, money etc), but remembers that, he or she `has an ought(quarrel etc) against another person`; the Bible Says the person should leave that offering at the Alter, GO FIRST AND SETTLE THE QUARREL BEFORE COMING BACK TO MAKE THE OFFERING, for example; come back to PRAY TO GOD. In our case today, we don’t know someone whom we have PURPOSELY offended for our SELF-INTEREST, and even if we know any, we may not be able to reach them now, before we resume our FIRST Service here, for 2024. That is the reason we want to use our Answers to the Questions above, to bridge that gap. May God Bless our little Effort, with HIS DESIRED FRUITS. Amen.
Question1:
We believe Mandu, The Proprietor of HIM, is someone you should like, or even love, as a SISTER in a BROTHERLY sense of it. It is however a hard task to like someone like Mandu, because of THE MISSION THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO HER ON EARTH; MISSION WHICH MANDU DID NOT CHOOSE FOR HERSELF, NEITHER WOULD HAVE LIKED TO DO SO. But it is The Mission that she has DEVOTED HERSELF AND HER ENTIRE LIFE TIME TO CARRY THROUGH, FAITHFULLY AND WITH GLADNESS, because of the LOVE she has for her ALMIGHTY AND LOVING GOD. She finds THIS CALL FROM GOD, TO BE A PARTAKER IN THE WORK OF GOD’S KINGDOM, VERY INTERESTING AND AS A PRIVILAGE. In order to carry out this COMMISSION from God SUCCESSFULLY, and in The Way God Would be Pleased with her(which is her most Important GOAL throughout her life here on earth), in order to Accomplish that GOAL, she must make herself ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD, AND TO GOD ALONE, IN ALL HER DUTIES ON EARTH. It means therefore that, what may be pleasing to human being, MAY NOT PLEASE GOD. To keep her goal, she PREFERS TO HURT HUMAN BEING IF NEED BE INCLUDING HERSELF, TO HURTING GOD’S FEELINGS! This may be why many HATE Mandu, whilst she is carrying out her daily DUTIES, EITHER FOR GOD DIRECTLY, OR HER GENERAL INTERACTIONS WITH THE SINFUL WORLD. SHE CANNOT DO AS THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD DO! If that is the reason you hate her, humanly, we can excuse you for a short time, if you are still in your sins. But we pray that you would one day surrender your vile heart to The God your Creator, so that He Could ENLIGHTEN your spiritual eyes to see that, Satan is attacking the Blessings you should be receiving from God Daily, if you see her as THE MESSENGER FROM GOD, TRYING TO PREPARE YOUR LIFE FOR WORTHY BLESSINGS HERE ON EARTH, AND MOSTLY, LIFE ETERNAL AFTER HERE! The WORST and worse reason to hate Mandu, is COVETING OR ENVEYING THE EARTHLY BLESSINGS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TO HER, AND TRYING ALL YOUR BEST TO ROB HER OF IT, WITH SERIOUS HATRED IN YOUR HEART; AND THE DESIRE TO KILL HER, OR HURT HER, IN ORDER TO GAIN FROM HER BLOOD, OR FOR OTHER SELFISH WICKED REASONS. The `REWARD` for such reasons, are serious, and can be DEATHLY HERE OR ETERNALLY DEATHLY. PLEASE STOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU GO ON, OR BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
Question2: BEFORE YOU CAN ANSWER THE LAST QUESTION ACURATELY, YOU SHOULD BE A PERSON WITH GOOD MORALS IN THE SOCIETY THAT YOU LIVE. IF THERE IS ANY OUTSTANDING AND CONTROVERSIAL PART OF YOUR LIFE THAT IS NOT POPULARLY COMMENDABLE BY PEOPLE WHO REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE, IT CAN AFFECT TOUR ANSWER.
However, From the Answer that we provided in question one above, we strongly believe that, YOU HAVE NO ACCEPTABLE(Before God Who Judges RIGHTEOUSLY) REASON TO HATE MANU, OR TO PLAN TO REMAIN HER PERMANENT FOE FOR LIFE. That is why we bring out this Service today, and pray you would consider/reconsider your life here, and after this world.
Question4: ANSWER TO 4, IS IN ANSWERS ONE AND TWO, INCLUDING THE QUESTION BELOW:
EVEN IF EVERYBODY AROUND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE LIFE-STYLE THAT YOU LIVE, IS GOD, YOUR CREATOR, HAPPY WITH YOU TOO?
Question5:
This is the HUB of a man or a woman’s DAILY LIFE, especially if the person is not a BIBLE CHRISTIAN, WITH A RE-GENERATED HEART THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS! When someone’s CONSCIENCE IS DEAD, nothing is there to CONDEMN him when HE OR SHE IS WRONG. EVEN WHEN HE KILLS AN INNOCENT PERSON, WHO MAY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP HIM OR HER FROM TROUBLE, AND THE PERSON WITH NO-CONSCIENCE KNEW ABOUT THAT, YET, STILL KILLS THE PERSON TO `GAIN` FROM THE BLOOD; his or her CONSCIENCE could still be HAILING him or her, for succeeding in KILLING THE PERSON WHO WAS TRYING TO DELIVER HIM OR HER FROM EVIL! A dead conscience person can only fear what he fore=sees as a would-be instant punishment to him/her, usually from the law of the government that he or she is under. Such a person doesn’t want such immediate and unavoidable punishment, so he restricts his or her hand from committing such crime. NON-CONSCIENCE people can be the quickest to judge another person’s work or attitude. The person he or she judges, may commit the most common MISTAKE, for instance, a friendly(brotherly) on-line chat with an opposite sex; but here comes the judge with no conscience, who has just finished SEXUAL ACTIVITIES WITH SAME-SEX PERSON(our DIRTIEST AND MOST INSANED SIN OF ALL TIMES)! MAY ALL HUMANBEINGS, WHO WERE CREATED WITH CONSCIENCE TO CONTROL THEIR CONDUCTS WHILST ON EARTH(even before The Gospel of Jesus Christ Came Through Jesus’ Appearance on earth); may everybody Created, PRAY GOD FOR A LIVING CONSCIENCE, AND TO PROFITABLLY USE SUCH CONSCIENCE. Amen. It can help SHAPE someone’s life, whether a Christian, or not yet.
Question6:
If your conscience is DEAD, or you are not sure how it is before God and man, SURLY, YOU CAN HUMBLE YOURSELF AND KNEEL IN PRAYER BEFORE GOD, ASKING HIM TO LIVEN YOUR CONSCIENCE AND REVEAL HOW IT IS TO YOU. There is always a PART that a man can play, IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM GOD. GOD ALONE HAS THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE TO OFFER TO MAN. It begins with your DESIRE for that GOOD thing; then TO ASK, AND TO RECEIVE,; YOUR DESIRE WITH THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT GOD HAS IT ALL FOR YOU. From the desire to know God, to praying to God to grant you your desire, and to beliving that He CAN, AND HAS GIVEN IT TO YOU.
Question7:
Our Answer is as it is for question 6. We really believe there is HUMILITY in everybody, but Satan may not want an individual to GAIN from that humility in him or in her. So, Satan can harden the heart of the person, and bring out so much more pride in the person, that the simple words or simple action the person should take and get SERIOUS MATTERS SETTLED FOR THE PERSON’S FUTURE BLESSING AND HONOUR; CAN GET CRUMBLED INTO LONGTIME SHAME. We now remove the question mark from question 7, and turn it to statement from us. The below is how we end this Service:
7) IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY YOU ARE, AND WHETHER YOUR LIFE/LIFE-STYLE IS PLEASING TO GOD, GOD CAN REVEAL ATLEAST A LITTLE, OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN YOUR LIFE, TO YOU. IF YOU BELIEVE HIM, YOU CAN GO A LITTLE DEEPER IN YOUR HUMILITY, AND BEG HIM TO FORGIVE YOU, AND TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR BETTER. YES, WE BELIEVE YOU CAN PUT THE NATURAL HUMILITY THAT GOD GAVE TO YOU, INTO PRACTICE AND THUS GAIN FROM IT! May God Help you to do this all the time, for your own good, and for the peace of those who need that from you.
In conclusion, we are all human beings, and may have wronged you one way or the other, without us even knowing. We now ask for your forgiveness, because we want more of God’s Blessing on our lives, ESPECIALLY on THE WORK OF GOD IN OUR HANDS. We think you should also bring down your pride, and APOLOGISE to us if possible. Most of all, GO BEFORE GOD AND CONFESS THE WRONG, OR THE EVIL THING THAT YOU HAVE DONE TO MANDU, REPENT OF THEM ALL, AND ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU. The repentance MUST BE GENUINE, WITH DETERMINATION NOT TO REPEAT SUCH EVIL EVER AGAIN. When God Sees that you have GENUINELY REPENTED AND WANT HIM TO FORGIVE YOU, HE SURELY WILL. Do not block your PRESCIOUS AND GOOD BLESSINGS, by continuing to PLAN EVIL FOR MANDU. You may continue to LOSE, AND MAY CONTINUE TO PUT YOURSELF IN TROUBLE! God is The Keeper of Mandu, and THE ONLY PERSON TO TAKE HER LIFE FROM THIS WICKED WORLD, INTO A BETTER WORLD. NEVER FORGET THAT!. Are you already UNDER GOD’S ANGER, SUFFERING FROM HIS RIGHT PUNISHMENT, BECAUSE OF YOUR EVIL WORK AGAINST MANDU? God is Merciful, and is WAITING FOR YOU TO COME TO HIM IN REPENTANCE, AND TO ASK HIM FOR FORGIVENESS, THROUGH JESUS’ BLOOD. THE FASTER IT TAKES YOU TO TAKE THAT ACTION, THE FASTER YOUR PAIN CAN GO, OR ATLEAST, BE REDUCED. You might not be the LEAD PERSON plotting to kill Mandu, but if you are the SUPPORTER, and CONTRIBUTE TO THAT EVIL WORK’S `SUCCESS’ , you too need to take same ACTION ABOVE FOR FORGIVENESS. Mandu had/has gone through a lot because of EVIL PEOPLE(THANK GOD FOR THE RELIEF THAT GOD HAS BROUGHT TO MY SITUATION, IN RECENT DAYS. GLORY BE TO HIS NAME. MY HEART REMEMBERS MY DEAR AND WONDERFUL FRIEND HERE, TOO Thanks honey), AND THEIR EVIL WORKS,. But once God Forgives you, HE May TOUCH MY HEART TO PRAY A DIFFERENT PRAYER FOR YOU. I WOULD FORGIVE YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY, WHILST PRAYING FOR YOUR BLESSINGS HERE ON EARTH, AND TO MAKE HEAVEN YOUR HOME AT LAST(right now, I’m praying that last bit for all my enemies). May you play your own part to let that prayer work for you. Amen.
