Message for reflection – Sr.Angelica

Worship in vain

While we were in Kerala for conducting APT, one believer who is  an auto rickshaw driver shared his experiences. The Lord has given him a special gift. While he is driving his  rickshaw, he is shown certain incidents in the lives of the  passengers. Once the Lord showed him in vision one of the famous actors in Kerala who is invalid and bedridden now. (He has acted in the largest no. Of films in the world) He saw in vision  one  pastor(by name)  visiting this man and he is sprouting  up on his feet. The rickshaw driver didn’t have access to this pastor. The Lord connected this pastor and one film producer who is a believer. They went to visit him. The Lord did a miracle. When the pastor prayed, he started weeping. Till then, he had no feelings, no reactions. He was moving on a wheel chair. This gave tremendous hope to him and to his wife.

He had been taken to many temples and to many human gods. Nothing  could  help him. His wife noticed the change and started weeping. The Lord  has this comment about majority of the worships which are taking place in this  world today.

“They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.

You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." Mar 7: 7, 8

Know Your Enemy series

Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them”

Ephesians 5:11

Section 1 - The OldTestament

From Adam to Nimrod (cont)

But when the Bible reports that Nimrod is the first mighty man in history; a fierce warrior and a great hunter, we should avoid being tempted into thinking highly of him because the Hebrew root of the word for “mighty man” actually translates into English as “tyrant”. The Jewish Talmud calls him a ‘hunter of the souls of men’ and the famous Jewish historian, Josephus also talks of Nimrod as a tyrant or dictator. Indeed his name “Nimrod” literally means “let us revolt” or “the rebel” and unlike the other descendants of Ham who mostly ended up in Africa or China.

Nimrod (who it was believed was born in modern day Ethiopa) headed towards the Tigris-Euphrates valley – that’s right, the exact spot where the Garden of Eden had been. The fact he was returning to the scene of the original fall of man to build his empire is significant in itself. He clearly meant something symbolic by it. Perhaps he was identifying with that scene of original rebellion. Perhaps he was metaphorically trying to build a new Eden by his own power and apart from God.

Perhaps he was identifying with Cain by stubbornly returning to the area he had been banished from. Perhaps it was all of these reasons. But it was here that he built the city of Babylon. He also built the city of Nineveh nearby and conquered the others that already existed in the area, thus creating his empire.  As the first to learn the arts of war, Nimrod ruled and subdued his empire with  an iron fist and was noted for his use of sorcery and fire to gain his victories. Like many men of renown in the ancient world, myths and legends arose around him to the extent that it’s impossible to discern which are true and which are not. You may recall a scene from Braveheart where the Scots are about to go into battle with the English and many, upon seeing William Wallace for the first time, refuse to believe it is the man they have heard so much about. In the legends that have arisen around him he is 10 foot tall and can shoot fire from his behind. This is the kind of thing that surrounds the legends of Nimrod.

TEACHING – Bro C.Umashankar IAS

HE COMES FOR THE SPOTLESS AND WRINKLE FREE BRIDE, A VIRGIN!

     A formal teaching on the pathology of sin has been long overdue. Bro. Justin attempted it two days ago. This paper is intended to shed more light into it and it is also intended to thrash the false preachers and their false preaching’s.

     Jesus is the ONLY holy God. He expects His bride to be holy. Unless we are holy we cannot reach His presence. In simple terms, in a sinful environment (heart) this Holy God (Holy Spirit) cannot not reside- HE WILL NOT RESIDE. The question of these sinners listening to the last trumpet sound does not arise (1 Cor.15:51,52 and 1 Thess. 4:16-17).

     Before going into this vital topic, let me quote the qualifications of the “bride to be” of Jesus.

     Ephesians 5:27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

    The Lord is coming down to rapture his spotless and wrinkle free bride – a pure virgin. He is not coming down to pick up and wed the rotten one. An adulterous bride will go into the lap of the king of adultery, Satan.

 FALSE PREACHERS SAY - “SIN NO PROBLEM FOR JESUS”

     Let us look at the preaching of the end time preachers. Recently I attempted to read a book written by a famous pastor cum preacher of a western nation, titled “Sin no problem for Jesus”.

     I read only a few pages of that dirty book and thereafter I got so wild, I threw it out. This book is supposed to have created waves in USA. Oh yes, USA creates waves and ripples all over the world with its triple ex rated porn movies. Now USA, including its illustrious President advocate homosexuality as the norm. No wonder, this adulterous book also topped the chart.

     But the surprise is that the book was recommended and gifted by a young woman to my wife saying that the book contains the “real truth” and my wife should go through that! This young woman is a believer of our church (AG).

     She had a running battle with my wife, trying to convince my wife that Jesus had paid the price for all the future sins as well and so we can do any amount of sin and finally enter into the Kingdom of Heaven! Pure serpent thinking! No wonder that the Americans fell for it. Any sinner wants such soothing words to comfort them and Satan feeds them enough. The Lord allows such stumbling blocks as He never wants junk to enter into His Kingdom.

     My wife countered her with the word of God (supported by me) for a while and thereafter the battle became silent. My wife does not discuss about this battle with her friend any longer, meaning the battle ceased with both the sides holding their turf!

     End times are like this. People would want to do all dirty things and hope to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. False preachers also would side with them because if they tell the truth, the believer would not give tithes. It is a good deal between spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of mammon. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

THE FINAL  AUTHORITY:

JESUS ON SIN/SINNERS

      Jesus has made it abundantly clear that He came down to the earth to save the sinners. He never loved sins but He always loved the sinners. This love was meant to save them and not meant to encourage them to continue in their sin. This aspect has to be clearly borne in mind. Jesus is the ONLY Holy God and none should play around with Him and His grace. Amen.

     This is a never changing position of Jesus. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Amen. (Heb.13:8).

     Matthew 9:13 (NKJV) But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Mark 2:17 (NKJV) When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Work of Nicolaitans (Contd)

And those members of the body which we think to be less honourable, on these we bestow greater honour; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, 

but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honour to that part which lacks it, 

that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 

And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honoured, all the members rejoice with it.

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. 

And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. 

Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? 

Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 

But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.

Corrected Translation of 1 Corinthians 12:28

“For Elohim has placed among the called out people, first messengers, after them, inspired speakers, after them instructors, after them workers of miracles, after them spiritual gifts of healing and helpers, and guides, and diverse languages.”

When we read 1 Corinthians chapter 12 in its context, we understand that all of the messengers work as one to bring people into the body of the Messiah. Everyone is to look after each other and help each other. 1 Corinthians 12:28 is not talking about a hierarchy; it is talking about the gifts that Elohim gives to “His servants” so that they can support other members of the body and thus we all become one in the body of the Messiah.

Christian Girls Kidnapped in Pakistan, Forced to Convert to Islam and Marry Captors

Five Christian girls have been kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam just this month, according to a human rights group that monitors ongoing abuses of religious minorities in Pakistan."In April in the area of Kasur alone, five Christian girls were kidnapped and converted to Islam and forced to marry their captors. These girls are denied the legal protection of individual rights," said Sardar Mushtaq Gill, a lawyer with Legal Evangelical Association Development in Pakistan.

Fides News Agency reported Monday that the latest victim was 23-year-old Laveeza Bibi from the Kasur district in Punjab, who earlier this month was kidnapped by two Muslims who stormed her house armed with guns, kidnapping the girl and threatening her parents. One of the abductors, identified by the name Muhammad Talib, reportedly forced Bibi to marry him and become a Muslim.

Sarwar Masih, the girl's father, reportedly went to the police, asking them to register a First Information Report of the crime, but officers had to be persuaded by Gill and a local pastor before finally agreeing to do so. Gill said the 'phenomenon continues to have unacceptable proportions,' with many cases every year of Christian girls being forced into Muslim marriage going unreported.

Lead has vowed that it will continue to fight for justice for women in Pakistan, especially minority religious populations such as Christians and Hindus, which Gill said are the most vulnerable and defenseless people in the country. There have been several different reports this past year of Christian girls in Pakistan being targeted, injured, and even killed by Muslims for refusing their sexual advances.

Back in January, the British Pakistani Christian Association reported that three young Christian girls were walking home at night in Lahore, Defence Colony, when they started being harassed by four drunk Muslim men in a car. After the girls rejected the lewd advances of the men, the Muslims crashed their car into the girls, seriously injuring two of them, but killing the third, 17-year-old Kiran.

"All three families are really shook-up, Shamroza and Sumble are grateful to God for saving them but have been inconsolable at the loss of a close friend. Other girls in the local area are now too scared to travel at night and are being accompanied by the men in their families. The community wants justice for poor Kiran and seeks an end to the targeting of young Christian girls," Naveed Aziz of the BPCA said at the time.

Other persecution watchdog groups, such as International Christian Concern, have also warned that Christians are "considered second class citizens" by the Muslim majority in the country, with Christian girls and women especially subjected to violence and threats.

Muslim Brothers Turn to Christ After Watching Slain Mother Beaten for Converting to Christianity

The sons of a slain Ethiopian woman who was beaten mercilessly by her husband after she converted from Islam to Christianity last year have given their lives to Christ after witnessing their mother's strong faith in Jesus.

According to global Christian persecution watchdog Open Doors USA, a Christian convert named Workitu, a mother in her 50s, was killed by her husband and a neighbor at the end of March in the Addis Ababa after she refused her husband's demands to sell government drought relief aid.

Christians in the Muslim-dominated town told Open Doors that Prior to Workitu's fatal beating in March, she had already endured a number of relentless beatings from her husband after she converted to Christianity last August.

Not only did she endure regular beatings from her husband, she also received threats from community members who demanded her to return to Islam. The local Christians also explained that Workitu's husband, who spent most of his time with his other wife, had promised to kill Workitu unless she renounced Christ and returned to Islam.

Church officials in the town urged Workitu to tell the local police about the threats that she had received. She did so by writing a letter to police in February that explained how the threats made her fearful for her life.

Open Doors' report states, however, that local police ignored her letter and denied they ever received it. After Workitu was beaten badly by her husband and neighbor in March, she was taken to a clinic located in a nearby town. After spending a few days in the clinic, she was referred to a hospital. Unfortunately, Workitu succumbed to her injuries while being transported to the hospital. Police have arrested the husband and neighbor and charged them with homicide.

Pakistani Christian Man, Pregnant Wife Burnt Alive in Kiln Case: Main Suspect Granted Bail by Court

One and a half years after a young Pakistani Christian couple were tortured and burnt alive in a brick kiln after being accused of blasphemy, a court has granted bail to the prime suspect in the case, which had caused national outrage.

Yousaf Gujjar, who was granted bail this week, is the main accused among more than 100 others who were charged with beating and burning alive Shehzad Masih and his pregnant wife, Shama Bibi, parents of four, in the same klin where the couple worked as bonded laborers in November 2014.After the bail hearing at Kasur district in the province of Punjab, the victims' family was in tears, according to a Pakistani Christian non-profit, Legal Evangelical Assistance and Development.
