True Servant in the Kingdom of God; preparing the earth for the return of the Bridegroom
I am writing this message for all honest seeking men and women of God who feel the call to serve the Lord Jesus Christ as a True Servant in the Kingdom of God; preparing the earth for the return of the Bridegroom.
“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh”. (matt 25:1-13)
Do I have to spell it out for us today that ninety nine percent of the Servants are not prepare for the coming of the Bridegroom? Do I have to tell you that the Bridegroom is packed and prepare to return to the earth? Most servants today are not preparing their flocks for the ‘Day of the LORD’ and that is very sad. Many run behind the false shadows of materialism, earthly recognition and power and have change the True Word of God to suit their evil desires. Everyday we see a new translation, of the Bible; not because they want to make the word simple but because they want to interpret the word of God to accommodate their evil deeds. God did not leave us in darkness but told us how it would be before that great and terrible day and it is the duty of the true Servants to preach and live by the true. I took a survey before writing this message of the lives/pictures/historical background of the servants of God written on the internet. 99.9 percent glorified themselves and not God Do you know that yesterday in life Servants of God were ranked among the most honest; most charitable, most understanding to the plights of others and above all they put first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first in their lives and visions. Yes in those days most of them were very lean in the body from the overload of their duties; fasting and praying, sharing their substances for their flocks, walking from house to house to visit and evangelize to/with their flocks regardless of social status, class, lifestyle, or nationality. Some risk their lives to enter the deepest of jungles of the earth to carry the word personally and never returned alive. They did all this to prepare the earth for the coming of the Bridegroom. “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not”.
On the other hand; today is another story, quite contrary to the one I just painted. Today Servants seek first materialism, worldly power and influence, From my survey majority are among the first class citizens in their communities not because of their righteousness but because of their financial power and social standing, they do not affiliate with the poor, sick, abused, or depressed, but with the rich and influential who can donate huge amount of money to their coffers. Most cannot remember the last time they visited the sick, poor, and drugs addicts, prostitutes on the streets or in their homes. Most of the choirs these days are the nest for breeding lust, adultery, fornications and the Clergymen & women (to include all church workers) are chosen by worldly standards; these days most claimed to reach millions through the TVs, satellites, internets, but dare not visit the deepest jungles where their cars and planes cannot go; they throw sinners out of their church claiming they are a holy church, and the majority are very fat and or rich while their congregations members die from lack. Beware for it is written: “But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be”. Go to google and take a look at the pictures of Servants of God around the world (I believe half their wearing, chains and rings; properties if sold collectively can solve all of the problems in countries of crisis around the world without rising a dime from anyone else) ; and contrast them with the majority of their members and you will weep. Do not get me wrong; I am not implying that they should be poor and wretched but from what I experienced and see daily; Servants of God are on the forefront among the seekers of power, fame, and materialism. I wonder if they are reading the signs of the times and are capable of preparing their congregations for the coming of the Bridegroom. Sometimes I wonder if they are not praying for disasters to happen in parts of the world so that some can rise money that will never see the face of the victims. Yet I know that all these are signs of the end of times “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many”.( Matt 24:11)
Why do I say the Bridegroom is packed and ready to come to earth? I want to list a few of the signs of our days for you to understand that indeed we are in the last days. Look around you in the various churches and other so called holy centres of our world today and you will know that the True God have been replaced by the Bishop, founder, Pastor, etc. Christ has been replaced and these men and women are claiming to be Christ instead of His messengers in words and deeds. It is written “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many”( Matt. 24:5). They might not be shouting it but it is imply in all their sermons, the way they run their various Ministries, and the way the live their lives expecting their congregation to worship and uplift their names above the name of Jesus Christ. “Do you know that pastor this and that; Bishop this and that heals peoples, preaches the truth….” What a shame because instead of giving God the Glory it now goes to the so-called religious man or woman. Another indicator is the conflicts in the various countries of the world, war, HIV/AIDS, terror, pestilence of various types, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, joblessness, homelessness, cruelty, lack of value for human life etc . This is only an indicator that we should be prepare for what is coming in the end. “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows”.(Matt 24:7-8) We are just seeing and experiencing the tip of what is yet to come and we are moving steadily towards that path. Do not expect things to improve even through all signs are there and the know how to make it happen. We are not just to sit and do nothing but to awake from our sleep and put oil in out lamps and remind others to do the same for the time is here. It is written: “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand” (Joel 2:1) . Listen carefully the accumulation of wealth and power can not save you. Look back at the year that we just left behind and you will see that stars and super stars of the earth with great fame in the eyes of men die just like that and left all they earn on earth. Death crept upon many of them like a thief in the night and they had no power to buy it off. The Bank notes of our world are useless in the eyes of God and your boasting and proud deeds are foolishness to God. It is written: “For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low”. This is just the beginning of what is to come; and what we have seen. DO YOU KNOW THAT HEAVEN AND HELL REALLY EXIST? What is in store for those who do not have oil in their lamps right now? What are the benefits for those who have oil in their lamps and are ready to receive the bridegroom? Servants of the Most Highest God are you really reading the indicator? Are you Prepare enough to prepare others? “Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light”.
DURING THE DAY DID YOU PREPARE THEM FOR THE NIGHT?
