ORLANDO KILLING : A MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS



I will like to use this opportunity to condole with the families of those who lost their lives in the shooting incident that happened in Orlando, Florida. The loss of a life or lives brings sorrow to men, and when those souls miss heaven for any reason, our Lord Jesus Christ is grieved because the price He paid on the cross and all He suffered for the salvation of those souls is wasted. The news of the Orlando shooting and the loss of lives, brought grieve not only to the United States but the world in general, but many feel indifferent to the incident because of the reference to the location (gay club) where the victims met their untimely death. Many believers are of the opinion that the victims got what they deserved and as such deserve no pity. Every life is important to God our creator, and despite our iniquities, He gives us a second chance for repentance, and that is why we should always grab the offer when there is still life in us.

The Pharisees questioned the disciples of Jesus Christ, saying “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” and on hearing this, Jesus said “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Our Lord Jesus Christ did not condemn or drive away sinners on account of His righteousness but reached out to them in love while talking to them about the Kingdom of His Father, because their souls were precious to Heaven. However in the world today, we see a lot of Christians exhibiting hatred towards lost souls on account of their sin, while some take it a step further by building very tall and thick fences around their lives to act as a preventive measure against anyone they perceive as a sinner. My question to these set of believers is, how can you then save a soul for heaven? Love is the greatest form of evangelism, because when you love a soul, that soul will listen to you even though you were talking gibberish. The Bible in the book of John 3:16 says “ For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. Love is what brought about our salvation and that is why we can boldly say we are saved.

However it will be wrong for any believer to be of the view that those who died in the Orlando gay club deserved what they got, but instead lets us grieve because souls were lost as Heaven grieves also. Christians all over the world should reach out to the gay community and preach the message of salvation to them, instead of hating and wishing them dead, because by so doing you will be saving a soul for heaven. We should speak to them in love and bringing to their understanding the great danger of being a gay, while proffering possible exit ways from this destructive behaviour using the Holy bible as the standard.

The act of homosexuality is an abomination before God, and a gay club is certainly not a place for anyone to exit the earth. In the beginning, it was not so because God created a male and a female, not a male and a male, or a female and a female (Genesis 5:2). The concept of Homosexuality is not from God, but a manipulation from Satan to drag men and women involved in this abomination to hell. The Bible in the book of 1 Timothy 4:4, makes us understand that every creature of God was good, and there was nothing to be refused, but while men slept, the enemy came to sow tares among the wheat, and went his way ( Mathew 13:25). God did not create anyone a homosexual, so stop saying “I was born that way”. Homosexuality is a spirit from Satan which possess and reverses the emotions of his victim, making him or her to act contrary to his original design by God. The good news is this, the spirit can be cast out of the victim through the name of Jesus Christ, and his or her original feelings restored. If you are a homosexual or you are noticing reversed feelings in your system, stop saying “ I was born that way”, but do something about it, and these are a few steps that will lead you to total freedom:

1.       You must surrender your life to Jesus Christ, because He loves you and wants to save you.
2.       You must confess all your sins and promise Jesus Christ, that you will never go back to them again.
3.       You must go for deliverance, so that the spirit will be cast away from your body and your original feelings restored.
4.       You must live a holy life.
5.       You must get a Bible and read it daily to know the standard of God, and what He promises when you obey His commands.
6.       You must pray fervently against any plot by the devil to drag you to hell.
7.       You must keep away from bad friends and old sexual partners.
8.       You must keep away from gay clubs and other demonic locations capable of polluting your salvation.

Moreover,our God did not spare Sodom and Gomorrah because of this abomination, and He will destroy every homosexual and their supporters on the day of judgment. Our Lord Jesus Christ is using this article to call you to repentance, because the next second might be too late. God bless you.

Story of how LESTER SUMRALL met with HOWARD CARTER

LESTER Sumrall was a 20th century giant of faith, and worldwide missionary statesman, who demonstrated the power of the gospel in his pastoral and evangelical ministry. He also had a personal relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. And travelled widely with Howard Carter. This, culled from Dr. Sumrall's 'Pioneers of Faith', is the story of how he met Mr. Carter. It was 1932. Brother Lester was 19, and brother Howard was 41: I was sitting in a little church in Tennessee looking at the young man who was leading the music. Suddenly, the scene before me vanished, and I saw thousands of Japanese, Chinese, Lndians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans and people from the ocean islands on one road going one direction ...Trembling and crying, I asked, "What shall I do?" God said, "You have to go to these people." I said, "I don't like those people. I have never seen a Japanese person in my life. I don't know tho...

THE OLD CONVENANT IS A SHADOW OF THE NEW CONVENANT [pt 4] - Min. Awe Hilary

It is an interesting fact to know that 99.99% of most religions practiced today are imitations of either the Mosaic law as given to the Jews by God or idolatry as invented by men through the interface of spiritual entities as a way of worship. Idol worship and the Mosaic law are the oldest well known religious institutions that have existed on the earth. The Mosaic law which is the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant which could not come into effect as long as the law was still in place. Hebrews 9:8 [AMP]: By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution]. More also, if the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant, then it signifies that they both have One Spirit [The Spirit of God], same pattern with different realities but one purp...
