Amos Olusegun Omoboriowo

December 2014

The following message was preached by Brother Amos on the morning of Friday 15th November, 2013, at the November 2013 Convention at Bible Faith Tabernacle, Lagos, Nigeria. The concluding part of his two part message is seriously urging us to see the value of rebuke; that God chastens as many as He loves, and that truth and truth alone is the determining factor for everything.

Good morning brothers and sisters. May God bless you all. We want to continue the message we started yesterday night. Open with me to the Book of John Chapter 3, verse 16, and it reads: “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.”

Saints of God, we have been emphasising a very crucial point, and that is that even though John 3:16 is true, for it is the saving truth of Jesus Christ, nevertheless, it is not all of God's truth, for there is a lot more that goes into the m e s s a g e o f s a l v a t i o n . Consequently, you cannot make one Scripture knock away another Scripture, and neither can you reject any Scripture of truth, because they all make up the message of our Saviour Jesus Christ, and all have their place of application, in bringing a b o u t t h e o b j e c t i v e o f redemption. For instance, the i s s u e o f J u d g m e n t s i s

something a true believer must understand and also expect, if the true church is to be kept clean and pure, although I know that the religious world kick against all manner of judgments, which is precisely why they are in the spiritual rot that they are in. Hence they always want to keep a little baby with a rattle snake in the same cot, in the name of love, and all on account of their carnal conception of the Words of the Master in Matthew Chapter 7, verse 1, which states: “JUDGE NOT, that ye be not judged.” Brothers and sisters, this is all they quote without any understanding of truth, for they use this lone verse to take away all manner of judgments in the church, when in fact that is not what the Lord is saying, for there must be discipline in the church, if there is to be spiritual sanity and sanctity; if the church is not to decay! The truth is that that is not what that verse is saying in true essence, for we have to take it with verses 2-5, to see the true context in which to apply that verse! Verses 2-5 adds: “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you a g a i n . A n d w h y

beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine o w n e y e ? T h o u hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” The Lord is simply saying that we should not condemn or judge people for the very things we ourselves are guilty of, for that makes us hypocrites! Secondly, we are also being admonished by this statement to show love and mercy to people in their weaknesses, because we also have ours! Therefore, we must all understand, that the admonition of the Lord in verse 1, saying: “Judge not, that ye be not judged”, was not made in order to take away true judgments from the church, for the true church of God cannot survive without it! It is our responsibility to judge people who make confession of faith; people who profess that they believe, but who live contrary lives! That is precisely why in John Chapter 7, verse 24, the

same Jesus now declared: “Judge not according to the appearance, BUT JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT.” Did you hear that? We are asked to judge righteously! This is exactly what God also admonished under the law of Moses, as recorded in the Book of Leviticus Chapter 19, verse 15: “Ye s h a l l d o n o unrighteousness” (or w i c k e d n e s s ) “ i n judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt t h o u J U D G E T H Y NEIGHBOUR.” It is on this very principle of divine Judgement which the church of the living God upholds, that Apostle Paul declared in 1 Corinthians Chapter 5: “It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, HAVE JUDGED ALREADY, as though I were present,

concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the L o r d J e s u s . Y o u r glorying is not good. KNOW YE NOT THAT A L I T T L E L E A V E N L E A V E N E T H T H E WHOLE LUMP? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is s a c r i f i c e d f o r u s : Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of SINCERITY AND TRUTH. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to c o m p a n y w i t h fornicators: Yet not a l together wi th the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.” (Exactly! However, now watch): “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any

man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without G o d j u d g e t h . THEREFORE PUT AWAY F R O M A M O N G YOURSELVES THAT WICKED PERSON.” This is divine judgment, and it must be upheld, for the church has to be kept clean, or she will only be a b ig j oke ! There fo re , somebody has to exercise true judgment, one which is strictly by the Word, and according to the Word, for there is certainly discipline in the church! People cannot be living horrible lives and still expect the fellowship of the saints, when he or she is nothing but leaven in the midst of God's people! Come on! Yet, all we hear in the religious world is “Judge Not”! This allows people to live in sin and still profess to be believers, and they want love, rather than mourn for their iniquity and outright shame! It is not for nothing Jesus warned explicitly or clearly in Matthew Chapter 7, verses 15-21: “Beware

of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly t h e y a r e r a v e n i n g wolves.” (Yet, today, it is church going folks who readily defend these false p r o p h e t s , s a y i n g concerning these wolves in sheep's clothing: “Judge not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”, ca rna l l y quo t ing the Scriptures, 1 Chronicles Chapter 16, verse 22, for they are grossly deceived and misguided folks! Jesus continued in verse 16 of Ma t thew Chap te r 7 , declaring): “YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS.” (For we are expected by the Lord to judge the fruits of every ministry, as well as that of all those who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ. Verse 17): “Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; bu t a cor rup t t ree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. WHEREFORE BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. Not every

one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Period! The Ephesian church was commended by the Master for rightfully judging and throwing out false apostles in their day, as revealed in the Book of Revelation Chapter 2, verse 2: “I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.” And if there is any day we are to have our s p i r i t u a l s e n s e s sharpened, in order to discern good from evil, it is now at this gleaning time of ha rves t , f o r i t i s a dangerous time! We need a measure of discernment to judge between good preachers and WOLVES in sheep's clothing, for wolves abound much more in the earth today behind the pulpits, for they are now twenty a penny! Hence Apostle John also warned, and the time has now come that we pay great heed to this inspired and wise warning, recorded in 2 John Chapter 1, verses 9-

1 1 , w h i c h s t a t e s : “ W h o s o e v e r t r a n s g r e s s e t h , a n d ab ide th no t in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” It shows indeed that we also have the scriptural right to judge the teachings of men, so that our soul is not ensnared, and lured away into darkness! If the Ephesian saints could see through false apostles, we should be able to do that with more vigilance and discernment, for the days are evil! Consequently, brothers and sisters, IF we can see Matthew 7:1, we should also be able to see John 7:24, for both have their place, and both relate and apply to true believers of Christ! There is no point ha t ing and re jec t ing S c r i p t u r e s r e q u i r i n g judgment within the body, all because of our carnal conception of love, for it is by the application of such Scriptures that the true church of Jesus Christ is

kept clean, for there is discipline in the body of Christ! There must be, and t h e r e c e r t a i n l y i s ! Therefore, if we accept the admonition of Jesus in John 15:17, “that ye LOVE one another”, we should also see and accept the admonition he also gave in Matthew 16:6-12, that we should “BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees”, for it will kill your salvation, IF you drink their poison! The barrage of Satan with his “leaven” of untruth or falsehood, through his messengers of darkness, “false apostles, deceitful workers” , men who masquerade as ministers of light, as expressed in 2 Corinthians Chapter 11, verses 13-15, is a very serious reality we all face in this way of faith, and we had better wake up, and realise that this thing is much more than holding to just a few pet Scriptures! You can hold to them and still be lost and damned at the end of the road, for there is a true divine revelation of Jesus Christ that God expects you to follow, IF you are truly saved!

Saints of God, the bitter truth remains that IF we are to attain unto the spiritual

generation of vipers? That is not of God! A true man of God must be gentle and preach in love, for God is love!” Yes, you stay there! If all you want to see is carnal love, then suit yourself! However, I will tell you now that true love is also corrective, for Jesus saw into the serious pathetic state of their souls, and he knew that they needed nothing but a terrible shaking! Brothers and sisters, true divine love also comes with serious rebuke when necessary, apart from the absolute fact that sometimes, it also comes with spiritual judgment, divine judgment, divine pronouncement, which exposes evil deeds! It does! And if all you want to take are commendations, and lovely speeches, but you do not want to take rebuke, scriptural rebuke, you have someth ing coming down the road! There is none of us above rebuke! No man is above rebuke! And if you will not be rebuked, you are bound to err somewhere, and derail! You will stumble on a stone along the road and derail, because this is not a game ! Cons ide r t he admonition of the Lord recorded in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 30, verses 9 - 1 7 , w h i c h s t a t e s

concerning the children of Israel: “That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, PROPHESY NOT UNTO US RIGHT THINGS, SPEAK UNTO US SMOOTH THINGS, PROPHESY DECEITS: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of I s r a e l , B e c a u s e y e despise this Word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; He shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit. For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye

image of Jesus Christ, in true readiness for his imminent return, then, we must be ready to let Scriptures dealing with rebuke and reproof also have their application, for it is all part of the washing process; part of the sanctifying process of God, for we must all be washed “with the washing of water by the Word.” We cannot simply dwell on John 3:16, and deny the application of corrective Scriptures, and Scriptures of divine judgment, for by it we are purged! Come on! That is why Jesus declared in Revelation Chapter 3, verse 19: “As many as I love, I REBUKE AND CHASTEN”, (for it is to the end that you should change, for which purpose he now implores): “be zealous therefore, AND REPENT.” Exactly! In Matthew Chapter 23, Jesus said to the Scribes and the Pharisees in that day, as recorded in verse 33: “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers…” The people must have felt very bad, thinking and saying to themselves: “How can the Messiah, a man who is supposed to preach in love speak like this? Can you believe that? He looked at people in the face and called them serpents, and a

would not. But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue y o u b e s w i f t . O n e thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.” Just think about that seriously, and take instruction! As ministers of the Gospel, we must all bring ourselves in total subjection to the rulership of the Word of God, for no one towers higher than the Word! Consequently, there is no man above rebuke, and there is no man we will not rebuke, IF the situation demands it! You can call me any name you want to, but I will rebuke anyone who deserves to be rebuked, If I am in the place to rebuke him or her. We have to do it in order to be faithful to God and His Word! And God requires faithfulness, for as it is written in Luke Chapter 17, verse 10, that is the least that is expected of us as ministers of the Gospel, be ing “unpro f i t ab le servants”! Everything has it payday, and it pays to be faithful, for God loves and

rewards faithfulness. This reminds me of one of the meetings I held in The Apostolic Church of The L o r d J e s u s C h r i s t , Fairhope, Alabama, USA, in March 2002. During the e v e n i n g s e r v i c e o f Saturday 23rd, I took a message titled, ENTICING S P I R I T S , t o d e a l specifically with the threat and the fear caused by a few deceived men in Canada, who had informed the pastor, Russell Davis, that they were coming down to identify the seven thunders to the church. The Lord helped me to tear down th is deluge of darkness in no uncertain terms, and the Lord gave a prophecy through Russell Davis, right after my message, which I will quote only in material parts, where the Lord declared: “Yea, I have spoken unto thee th is n ight my children. Surely, I the Lord thy God have spoken through my servant this night… And surely thou hast heard the words that I have spoken through my servant. And yea, my Spirit has vindicated those things he has spoken as true. I say unto thee, TAKE HEED TO THYSELF. For surely not every spirit that shall

come thy way shall be true, saith the Lord.” (And hence the need to judge spirits, by scripturally judging ministers and brethren through whom spirits manifest. The Spirit of the Lord continued): “But I say unto thee, rejoice when you see a true servant of God come, that bares his mind and soul before t h e e ” , ( s p e a k i n g vehemently, seriously, and truthfully with all his heart, not minding the mud the opposition will throw at him as a result). “For truly he imparts words to thee that thou mayest live; that thou mayest see the way of truth… I say unto thee, TAKE HEED TO THYSELF, that thou would not give your ear to every word that is spoken by man. But thou shall hear the Word of God; for surely it is the Word that thou livest by. It is the Word that proceedeth from my mouth, saith the Lord, that shall give thee life, and that shall give thee the promises that I have given to thee. I say unto thee my children, when thou hearest the words of life, I say to thee, Give thanks to that one that the Lord has anointed. For surely that one

speaks as my very own.” That prophecy from God means more to me than all the money and fame this world can offer. Saints, I did not find anything wrong in unmasking the spirit which motivated these deluded Canadian folks in that day, for it was done in order to deliver the people from being barraged and led astray, which was why it was needful that I called a spade a spade, and I did, and the Lord blessed me for it, even though I did it solely by His grace! Here in Matthew Chapter 23, Jesus Christ our Lord stood before the spiritual leaders of the children of Israel in that day, and openly d e n o u n c e d t h e m , unmasking them for what they truly were. However, the carnal religious Jews, people who were taken up by the ministry of the Scribes and Pharisees, looked at him, and they must have thought in their hearts, and they must have also said it to one another: “This man is supposed to be an epitome of love and gentleness, IF he is truly what he says he is. But what was his message to the ministry of the men who have laboured tirelessly over us all these years? He called them Serpents, and he also cal led us a

generation of vipers! How can he call us serpents, and a generation of vipers? That is why we say that he is not the Messiah! We believe the Messiah is coming; we are not denying that. The true Messiah is coming, and when he comes, it will be with gentleness and meekness, and with the love of God. But this man; he has a wrong spirit. There is no love in him! Away with that kind of spirit, for we do not want it!” Jesus continued lacing it into them, defying their anger and hatred, declaring publicly in verse 33: “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, HOW CAN YE ESCAPE THE DAMNATION OF HELL?” What a question, what a rhetorical question! It is rhetorical because it is more of a statement than a question! The Master was really making a statement here, declaring: “Just tell me how you will escape hell?” In Other words, “You cannot miss going to hell, for you are certainly hell bound!” What a message from the Messiah! He looked directly at them, and said, “Tell me exactly how you will avoid hell?” My! This is serious! However, I know that some will be quick to tell me: “Brother Amos, but that is the Lord

Jesus, the Son of God, our Saviour; he can say such things; he can make such pronouncements, because of who he is!” These carnal religious folks simply forget that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever, and as such, he can make the very same pronouncements today, by his Spirit, working through a vessel of clay! Yes, he can! And he will not ask for your permission before inspiring such pronouncements of divine judgment! You just have to learn to judge everything by the Word, and see what is being addressed seriously, and why! Let me warn you brethren: If all you want is carnal love, you have something else coming down the road: Because if y o u c a n t a k e commendation, you should also be able to take rebuke, for it is part and parcel of the package. It is to keep us on the “stra i t” and “narrow” way! 2 Timothy Chapter 3, verse 16 says so, as it is written: “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, f o r R E P R O O F , f o r C O R R E C T I O N , f o r i n s t r u c t i o n i n righteousness: That the man of God may be p e r f e c t , t h r o u g h l y

furnished unto all good works.” Again in 2 Timothy Chapter 4, verses 1-4, it is written: “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; REPROVE, REBUKE, e x h o r t w i t h a l l l o n g s u f f e r i n g a n d doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts sha l l they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” I do not have to tell you that we are living in the days Apostle Paul spoke about, and as such, truth must be laid out bare, for it is for deliverance, even though it may hurt. The fact is that truth is spoken in love, and true love is corrective, so that things may get better. Therefore, you had better know how to relate to something, even when it is hard, for you must still be able to see the truth in projection! Moreover, it is absolutely impossible to pro jec t t ru th wi thout exposing error and vessels

of error. That is a spiritual fact! Nevertheless, they were mad in that day, for they could not relate to the Master's raw exposition of the ev i l and w icked religious leaders of the Jewish nation. The Scribes and Phar i sees were religious demons, men who were ruled by the spirit of the devil, and who had held the children of God captive f o r m a n y d e c a d e s , relentlessly; and Christ saw them right down to their roots! If only they had taken this rebuke with humility, cons ide r ing the end objective of it, and had repented. He pronounced spiritual judgment on them, denouncing them openly for their evil influence over the nation, for as Jesus said to them in Matthew Chapter 23, verse 13: “But woe unto you, scribes a n d P h a r i s e e s , hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: FOR YE N E I T H E R G O I N YOURSELVES, NEITHER SUFFER YE THEM THAT ARE ENTERING TO GO IN.” That is exactly the same problem we are facing today with the men who say that they are following the End Time Message of Elijah. They a r e n o t i n t e r e s t e d in making it into the

kingdom of God, but they must block the way for all others who desire to enter in!

This reminds me of a letter I received from an American fellow ministering brother who once followed this ministry, and who had been on our mailing list. He was also a follower of Brother Jackson in his days. When he read our publication, our book titled Religo, written to rebut and to deflect the s e r i o u s “ w i n d s o f doctrine” which Richard Gan had created around the world by his book, titled, Religo, he wrote me a letter requesting that we take him off our mailing list. He said he does not want to have anything to do with my ministry anymore, because of the spirit by which I wrote the book, and for the things I said. He said words to this effect: “Read Brother Branham's sermon on The Stature of a Perfect M a n , a n d c o n s i d e r b r o t h e r l y k i n d n e s s attribute for this age. We are too close to the end for this kind of spirit.” I simply thanked him for his mail, and assured him that we will take his name off our mailing list, and we did. Brothers and sisters, we are grateful that the brother did not allow us to waste

December 2014


Page 9

our highly limited res-ources, sending materials he would probably throw in the dustbin. However, the point is this: Even if you do not like the manner of the delivery of a message; even if it is hard and harsh; nonetheless, what are you going to do with the truth? For instance, in his carnal interpretation of Genesis Chapter 4, verse 12 “ F U G I T I V E a n d a vagabond… in the earth”, which Cain became by God's judgment, Richard Gan wrote that Cain was running and hiding from place to place, as a literal fugitive, when as a matter of scriptural fact, Cain built a whole city, with an e l a b o r a t e n a m i n g ceremony, as verse 17 c o n f i r m s , s h o w i n g evidently and plainly, that God only made him a spiritual fugitive! So, I ask again, even if you have problems with the manner of the delivery of the message, what of the truths the book also laid out most succinctly and scripturally? What about the truths in our Religo? That is the point! Are you going to reject the truth because of its manner of delivery? Is that a valid reason for rejecting the truth? Is there even any reason good enough for rejecting the truth? If you do

not like a particular book, what about the truths in the Scribe? What about the truth of THE MAN THAT WAS CAUGHT UP? What about the truth of THE INPUT OF HAM? What about the truth of THE PROMISE OF JOHN? What about the truth of THE EATING OF THE SCROLL? What about the truth of THE PROMISE TO THE OVERCOMER? What about the truth of the Eternal Objective of God for THE CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE? What about the truth of THEY CAME TO PRESENT THEMSELVES? What about the truth of THE THREE GREAT THINGS OF THE THIRD PULL? What about the truth of T H E T H R E E F O L D M Y S T E R Y O F T H E SEVENTH SEAL? or of the truth of THE PRESENT DAY IDENTITY OF THE SERPENT? Come on! What about all these other Bible truths of Jesus Christ? What are you going to do with them? Are you also going to throw ALL of them away, simply because you do not like the spirit by which one book was written? I think not! My, oh my! I also remember a brother in Australia, who once appreciated and supported this ministry,

when Brother Jackson was still on the ground. When we wrote our book titled, Revelation, Tares, And 99% Truth, he wrote to inform me that I should take his name off our mailing list, for he no longer wants to have anything to do with me, as long as I stand against the present day ministry of Faith Assembly, whom he referred to as his friends, and whom he said were carrying on after Brother Jackson, and whom he said I was bashing. We simply obliged his request, although I wonder where he now stands with regard to the warped and heretical teachings of James Allen, who declares firmly and c a t e g o r i c a l l y o f t h e prophecy in Hosea Chapter 6, verse 2, that “We are now in the Third Day”; “WE ARE LIVING IN THE THIRD DAY.” I can only hope and pray that he retraces his steps before it is too late, for this is not about friendship, but about our eternal destiny. We are getting old, and as such, we want to be ready to meet our Maker. Coming back to the letter I received from the United States, asking us to take them off our mailing list, for they no longer want to have anything to do with me, the

December 2014


Page 10

question is this: Even if he has a problem with one book, what about all the Bible truths which are laid out in the other books and the Scribe Magazines? Are you now going to take yourself out of the loop of God for the universal body of saints? I think not, because you must still consider how you can be one with a universal body, in the light of revealed truth! Exactly! If you go your way, staying in your little cocoon, just how do you become one with the universal body of God's people IN the Faith? For you must still S E E T H E B I G G E R PICTURE, for it gives us a universal picture, for a universal body of ministry and saints! It does! What a world! Men are only looking for any excuse that they can find not to follow something! And it is only because they have no revelation of anything! To think that the man is supposed to be a follower of Raymond Jackson's Continuity Message! In his book on Religo, Richard Gan had called Brother Jackson “Nicolaitan”, (which means a person having a contrary spirit, both in deed and in doctrine; a spirit of error and of domination; a spirit that the Lord said in

Revelation Chapter 2, verses 6 and 15, he hates). He also called Raymond Jackson “Ba loney” , (which is a pretentious person, or a person peddling tommyrot); he called him a deceiver, and ridiculed him in that book, saying that he “made a fool of himself instead!” He also lied against Brother Jackson, and God helped me to stand up against Richard Gan, in defense of a dead man, the chief apostle to this age, a most gallant and faithful soldier of Christ, one who can no longer defend himself! And instead of this ministering brother being happy for it, he was annoyed, and parted ways because of the book, throwing away not only the truths in that book, but also every other truth that the Lord has opened up for the bride of Christ in this last move, through the Scribe Magazines! That is how he sees the attribute of brotherly kindness! My! As far as characters like that are concerned, brotherly kindness is to see an antichrist and to call him brother; for to them, a snake is no different to a brother, for they take them as one! My! What can you do with such men? He does not even know what the day is saying, and what the

spirit of the day demands, and neither does he really care! They are men motivated by a carnal conception of love and brotherly kindness, and it is obvious that men like him do not care for how much evil Richard Gan has done to the Word of God, and to the faith of people all over the g lobe, for many decades, despite the constant and consistent warnings from the chief apostle, before he passed away in December 2004! He forgot that God, throughout Bible Times, has a lways anointed somebody with a hard message, a message which sometimes looks very harsh, particularly if you do not consider the circumstances, and in particular, the situation being judged, and the evil activit ies of the men concerned! Come on! P r o p h e t I s a i a h w a s eventually sawn asunder for his harsh but true judgment of Jewry, just as A p o s t l e J u d e w a s martyred, because he wrote some serious things, things which if spoken by another man in the ministry today, would invite total condemnation, because they would refuse to consider the spirit of the day, which is the spirit of the

Anti-Christ, and what is required to checkmate it! At any rate, regardless of how s o m e b o d y w r i t e s something, you cannot turn down the truth, simply because you take offence at his manner of delivery of the truth! FOR TRUTH REMAINS THE TRUTH! Every true seed of God must be able to look past how something is written, and see the truth for what it is, because there is no excuse any man can have for rejecting the truth of the infallible Word of God, for truth remains the truth! These men just have a carnal way of looking at love and the ministry! Brothers and sisters, I was very saddened by the attitude of the brother, but I had to respect his wish, for he is at total liberty. We cannot force truth on people. However, the Lord seeing the heaviness on my heart, decided to lighten this burden. One day, which was now quite some time after I had received the brother's letter, as I was studying the Contender, I came across a statement Brother Jackson made concerning Richard Gan, speaking of a spiritual judgment coming down the road for him, IF he failed to stop his utterly erroneous a n d m o s t c o n f u s i n g

projections, for they have caused a lot of injury to the universal body of saints, over the years. Brothers and sisters, I suddenly realized that I had been used by the Lord to fulfill a prophetic statement which the chief apostle had made back there, without even knowing of the quote! God be praised! You can only imagine the comfort and joy it brought to my heart, when I read that quote! In J a n u a r y 1 9 8 7 , i n a C o n t e n d e r t i t l e d , CHILDREN OF LIGHT, Part 1, Raymond Jackson was dealing with the erroneous teachings of Richard Gan, relating to the evening light of Zechariah Chapter 14, verses 6-7, amongst many other Bible subjects which Richard Gan had seriously muddled up, and flung completely out of joint. Church, I want you all to know that I have read Richard Gan's books, and I also have them, and more importantly, I have read his teachings on the particular subject which the chief apostle was referring to. Back in the early 90's, I had compared Richard Gan's most confusing and contradictory teachings with Brother Jackson's beautiful exposition of the truth of the matter, laying e v e r y t h i n g o n t h e

Scriptures. I had to do this, because we were also adversely affected by the conflicting teachings of Richard Gan, at the b e g i n n i n g o f t h e establishment of Bible Faith Tabernacle; for in that day, we were also receiving his books, through one of the ministering brothers standing in the gap over this assembly. On account of this conflict, I was forced in those days to write a book to deal with the various issues of conflict, which I titled: They Shall See Eye To Eye: The Watchmen. The book was written specifically on account of Richard Gan's con fus ing teach ings , although I had left out his name entirely from the book. That is why I knew precisely who Brother Jackson was referring to, in h i s m e s s a g e t i t l e d , Children Of Light, Part 1, even though he did not mention his name. Brother Jackson probably did not realize just how prophetic his statement was, even though there is no doubt that he made it under a strong conviction of truth, knowing the ways of God! I will now give you the quote of January 1987. Speaking about the hazy or dismal spiritual condition which was pushed back at this

evening time, as recorded in Zechariah Chapter 14, verses 6-7, the chief apostle declared: “... What drove the rest of the darkness away? The revelation given to the 7 t h C h u r c h A g e Messenger, here in the 20th Century. The full glow of that wonderful Gospel of Jesus Christ can once again be seen by hungry souls; and we are still in that same dispensational day; the sun has not set yet”, (contrary to the teachings o f R i c h a r d G a n ) . “Presently, we have Full Gospel Light, just as it was in the Book of Acts. B U T S O M E O N E I S FOREVER COMING UP WITH SOMETHING THAT CAUSES CONFUSION, UNTIL GOD ANOINTS SOMEONE TO EXPOSE THE THING FOR WHAT IT IS.” (Did you hear that? Brother Jackson said that God will anoint somebody to expose the spirit behind the deliberate conflicting of the truth which this minister is given to, which always creates confusion for the children of God around the globe. The chief apostle now concludes): “I will refrain from mentioning names at this time, and pray that it will not be n e c e s s a r y . B u t

nevertheless, GOD WILL NOT LET MEN WHO KNOW THE TRUTH, JUST STAND BY AND LET FALSE TEACHING G O , W I T H O U T SOMEWHERE DEALING WITH IT.” And although I did not know of this quote when I wrote Religo, nevertheless, God in His sovereign election used me to do precisely what the chief apostle said God will use somebody to do, for I was forced to deal with the man, over his book on Religo, and expose the spirit motivating him, which is none other than the spirit of the Anti-Christ. It is no th ing but sp i r i tua l judgment, and you must be able to know how to look at something, for you must always see the truth, regardless of the wrapper in which it comes. Period! And to the man who asked me on what authority I called him a “son of Lucifer”, I now reply: I will tell you by what authority, IF you can also tell me by what authority Apostle Paul, a sinner saved by grace, declared boldly and categorically, that Brother Clement had his name written in the Book of Life! It is recorded in Philippians Chapter 4, verse 3: “… CLEMENT also, and w i t h m y o t h e r

fellowlabourers, WHOSE NAMES ARE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE.” Yet, we all know that Saint Paul is not Jesus Christ, and neither does he have the Scroll of redemption in his hand, laying out the list of those in the Book of life!

In this extremely dark and apostate world in which we live today, a world where great injury is being done to the Word of God, and to the faith of God's people around the globe, IF you cannot see and appreciate somebody who is fighting for the honour of God, and for the defense of the truth, a s a c h i l d o f G o d , something is seriously wrong with you! Because you should be able to see God's zeal and indignation being expressed through a mortal man, for the peace of the universal body! When the Lord Jesus was here, and he saw the horrible spiritual state of the temple, what it had been reduced to, with the priests buying and selling in the house of God, the Bible says that he went out and made a serious whip, “a scourge of small cords”, and came back to overturn the tables of the money changers, and literally flogged them out of the temple. The religious

people in that day only saw a mad man, but spiritual men saw it differently, for it is written in John Chapter 2, verse 17: “And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.” An action which some saw as being totally out of order and unacceptable from a man of God, particularly one who is supposed to be the Messiah, was applauded and appreciated by others, who had spiritual sense, for t h e y h a d a p e r f e c t revelation of the Word! In the days of Moses, when the children of Israel committed whoredom at Baal-Peor, and the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel, consuming twenty four thousand people, Phinehas, by killing two people, executed the judgment of the Lord, and stayed the hands of God thereby, fo r he was consumed with godly zeal, and a holy indignation. Now listen to what Moses recorded concerning him, in the Book of Numbers Chapter 25, verses 7-13: “And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;

And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while HE WAS ZEALOUS FOR MY SAKE AMONG THEM, that I c o n s u m e d n o t t h e children of Israel in my jealousy. Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my Covenant of peace: And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the Covenant of an everlasting priesthood; B E C A U S E H E WA S ZEALOUS FOR HIS GOD, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.” Just think about that, for our God does not change! The question also is this: Who exactly did Phinehas slay, for it is not different to the men we are facing today? Please do not forget as it is written in Romans Chapter 9, verse 6, that “… they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.” So, who did

Phinehas slay? Numbers Chapter 25, verses 14-15, gives us their names, declaring: “Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was ZIMRI, the son of Salu, A PRINCE of a chief house among the Simeonites. And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief h o u s e i n M i d i a n . ” Brothers and sisters, IF God Almighty could inspire Phinehas to do what he did in that day, and he was blessed by God for the zeal he displayed for the honour of God, and it is written for all time and for all saints to emulate, the Lord can do the very same thing today, right in this our day, for God remains the same! How you relate to something is what makes the difference, for you must always look at the situation that is being addressed, and the spirit of the day, and the truth that is being established, for regardless of the hardness of a message, TRUTH REMAINS THE TRUTH! You cannot reject ANY truth of God, for God still has men that are His battle axes in the earth today. Wait till Moses and Elijah

December 2014


Page 14

step on the scene, to execute God's judgment in the Middle East, and you w i l l s e e s o m e t h i n g , although it is also a judgment for which they will likewise be hated with a passion, and for which they will also be literally killed, although they will be greatly blessed and loved of the Father! You had better know how to relate to conflicts of truth, for it is in order to preserve the lives of the true eagles of God in the pathway of life, keeping them from the deluge of the enemy of our soul, which is Satan! There is a place in the Holy Bible for divine judgment, and you must understand this, and SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE; for it is much more than just about the individual person or persons involved in any issue which engineers conflicts of faith; but it is about the spiritual sanity and welfare of the universal body. That is the truth!

In Matthew Chapter 17, Jesus took the three core apostles, the inner caucus apostolic ministry, Peter, James, and John, to the Mount of Transfiguration, as living witnesses of something. They saw Jesus transfigured, exactly as he will be adorned when he is coming on that

glorious day, dazzling with a trillion lights, as he comes to establish the Millennium. All of a sudden, a cloud of glory covered him, and here came Moses and Elijah, who began to talk to him concerning the things he was to suffer. God was using the images of those two great prophets, to give c o m f o r t a n d encouragement to His Son, thereby enabling him to face the ordeal that was to come. And when they came out of that vision, because they saw Elijah, then they remembered the teachings of the Scribes concerning him, and they asked Jesus: “How come the scribes teach that Elijah would first come?” But remember, as we stated yesterday, that the Scribes that were referred to by the disciples in that day, were not the scribes Jesus promised us in Matthew Chapter 23, verse 34, for the Scribes in the earthly days of Christ were men without a revelation of the things they taught, for they had no clue to anything, being blind guides, which was why they always sought to ensnare Jesus Christ with their tricky questions. The Bible says in Matthew Chapter 17, verses 10-13: “And his disciples asked him,

saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, THAT ELIAS IS COME ALREADY, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the B a p t i s t . ” N o w t h e y realized that John the Baptist was Elijah. They knew this truth, because they were privileged to see and hear something! The children of Israel, on the other hand, had no clue, even though they knew of the promise of Prophet Elijah. Saints, we are not talking about “Jah-jahorah” prophets, false prophets; and we are not talking about false preachers either; men that are making the Gospel into money making machines; men w h o w i l l t e l l t h e i r congregations: “I will take cash or cheque, and I need ten men who can give ten million Naira, for the Lord says that there is a special blessing f o r y o u t o d a y , i f you do it. I need ten men to

Page 15

give ten million Naira.” These are not the prophets of the end time which the Lord promised! These are strangers in “The Way” of life! God did not send them; Lucifer did! That is why they picked the message of their father, Lucifer, and they are doing well with that message. And we too, are also doing well with the message of our Father, the God of Abraham, who is “The God of TRUTH”, which is why we are rich in things divine; rich in the things of Christ! (Brother Amos starts singing):

My Father is rich in houses and lands,

He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands! Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,His coffers are full, He has riches untold.

Chorus:I'm a child of the King! A child of the King!

With Jesus my Saviour, I'm a child of the King!I'm a child of the King, a child of the King!

With Jesus my Saviour, I'm a child of the King!

Halleluiah! Do not worry, our kingdom is coming, and it is coming with great power, mega divine power! (Brother Amos starts to sing):

Kingdom come by power, by power!Kingdom come by power, by power

Kingdom come!

Kingdom come by power, super power

Kingdom come by power, by powerKingdom come!”

Halleluiah! Our kingdom is not of this world! It is coming with mega, mega

divine power! And when we are coming on that day, every knee shall bow, and Presidents shall run to the rocks and to the mountains, saying: “Fall upon us, and hide us from the power of the King of kings, who cometh on a white horse!” Saints, our kingdom is coming with power, and it is coming soon. Just a little while more to labour and wait, for the Master is atthe door; Jesus is coming soon. Soon and very soon we are going to see the King. Brothers and sisters, the truth is that the Jews have a promise of Elijah. And to think that according to Malachi Chapter 4, verse 6B, a verse of Scripture which we also considered in a measure yesterday, we Gentiles also have a promise of an end time Eli jah, a man whose message will turn our hearts back to the faith of the early church apostolic founding fathers of our faith, which is recorded in the Holy Scriptures. Yet, the Gentile religious world does not have a clue to this, for they are not even aware that there is such a promise, let alone have any reve la t i on concerning it, however remote the revelation may be! However, the sad thing

is that the Branham Movement also do not see the promise of end time “fathers” OF FAITH, the end time apostles, which the restored Bible Faith gives to us in Ephesians Chapter 4, verses 11-13, and as spoken of by Prophet Malachi in the same Chapter 4, verse 6B; men who are ordained by God as the head of the Ephesian Fivefold ministry, and who, along with the other four folds of the ministry, are to bring the bride into the Unity of the Faith and Perfection, in readiness for the rapture. The truth is that Malachi Chapter 4, verse 6B, therefore, not only gives us a live end time Elijah, it also gives us live e n d t i m e a p o s t o l i c “fathers” of our faith, which the restored faith of the Word of God gives to us! So, just how can you see Elijah, a live ministry, and also see live subjects, who are the elect bride saints, and not see Apostles, who are also expressed in the same verse? If we have live teachers, live pastors, live evangelists, and live prophets, surely we will also have live apostles! In fact, we h a v e t o f i r s t h a v e live apostles, before we

December 2014


Page 16

can have any prophet or evangelist of the original stock, because that is where the entire original Ephesian ministry starts! But who is marking the r e v e l a t i o n o f J e s u s Christ; who is watching it? These are things the Master said when he was here on earth, and it d o v e t a i l s w i t h t h e prophecy of Malachi, for Elijah must first come, who was John the Baptist. It also dovetails with his prophetic revelation laid o u t i n t h e B o o k o f Revelation Chapter 11, verses 3-13, which also gives the Jews an Elijahin the 70th Week of Daniel. In other words, the promise of Elijah which Jesus mentioned, is based upon the prophecy of God recorded in the Book of Malachi, alongside that of Prophet Isaiah, which speaks in Chapter 40, v e r s e s 3 - 4 , o f t h e ministry of John the Baptist, the forerunner of J e s u s C h r i s t i n h i s first advent! In essence, these are things pertaining to the ministry which Jesus laid out in his message when he was here on earth, which truth he also confirmed in his revelation on the Isle of Patmos to John. What, therefore, are you going to

do with Elijah in Matthew Chapter 17, verse 12, which doveta i ls w i th Malachi Chapter 4, verse 6, which in turn, also dovetails with Isaiah Chapter 40, verse 3, and Revelation Chapter 11, verses 3-13? We must not and cannot forget, that the Lord Jesus also promised the Jews an Elijah at this end time, in the 70th Week of Daniel, on the full authority of the Book of Revelation Chapter 11, verses 3-13! It means in essence, that there are two promised Elijahs at this end time: One for the Gentiles, and the other one for the Jews, in the Last Week of Daniel! Brothers and sisters, if you see John 3:16, what are you also going to do with the ministries in Ma t thew 17 :12 , and Revelation 11:3, for they are all sent in furtherance o f G o d ' s p l a n o f salvation? What are you going to do with the “scribes” in Matthew 13:52, and the ministries in Matthew 23:34? They are all part of the message Jesus gave in his day, and every last one of these ministry promises, form a crucial part of the plan of salvation we have in Christ Jesus, for as I stated a short while ago, they are all

sent in furtherance of God's plan of redemption. What are you therefore going to do with them, for how on earth can you see John 3:16, and not see the rest of the plan which the Bible lays out? Then you must S E E T H E B I G G E R PICTURE.

Let me bring you back to an i ssue we dea l t w i th yesterday, in order to reinforce a fundamental t r u t h o f t h i s h o u r concerning the building of the church, for as people who are following the Continuity light, we must a lso SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE, which is the Universal objective of God. This issue relates to the declaration Jesus made in Matthew Chapter 16, verse 18, stating: “… and upon this rock” (of the divine revelation of God), “I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Then in the Gospel of Saint John Chapter 17, Jesus prayed a very crucial prayer, one which the rapture event is contingent or dependent upon, as recorded in verses 20-22: “Neither p r a y I f o r t h e s e ” (apostles) “alone, but for them also which shall believe on me THROUGH

THEIR WORD; That THEY ALL MAY BE ONE” (UNIVERSAL BODY); “as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be ONE in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be ONE” (universal body), “even as we are ONE.” Hence, in the Book of Revelation Chapter 3, Jesus warned all the plural churches or assemblies making up the universal body in this Laodicean age, declaring in verses 22: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto THE CHURCHES” (of the bride around the globe, in this last age of Christendom). Based upon these three fundamental Scriptures, (Matthew 16:18, John 17:20-22, and Revelation 3:22), saints of the living God, we have to realise that the church concerned, the church the Master is building, goes beyond a local body, ANY local body, for he is speaking strictly of the nation of the bride, a universal body of elect people, who make up the royal seeds of Abraham, and as such, we must see the GLOBAL PICTURE. This church takes us right

back to the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis Chapter 12, verse 3, involving all nations, or as it is written, it involves “ALL FAMILIES of the earth”, which gives us a universal picture, for the church of Christ is one, though a universal body. As we all know, and as we touched upon yesterday, there is a specific way, or a specific avenue, of how the Lord is building his church, and we want to retouch it today, for there is a truth that must be lifted up for all to appreciate, because it is very fundamental that we see the Universal objective of God. Here came Apostle Paul, the bearer of the light of Christ for the Gentiles; the man who carried the b l u e p r i n t o f G e n t i l e salvation, as “a wise masterbuilder.” He said in 1 Corinthians Chapter 3, verses 9-10: “For we are LABOURERS together with God: ye are God's husbandry, YE ARE G O D ' S B U I L D I N G . According to the grace of God which is given unto m e , a s a w i s e masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth t h e r e u p o n . ” H e i s s p e a k i n g a b o u t t h e

Ephesian Fivefold ministry, and he is saying that they are partners with God, for they are God's builders; they are the vessels that the Lord is using to build His church, which is the body of Christ, whom he refers to as “GOD'S B U I L D I N G . ” Consequently, brothers and sisters, the builders of the church are men anointed by the Spirit of Christ, and although Jesus is not here to physically build his church, he is building it by his Spirit, work ing th rough the Ephesian Fivefold ministry. This is the exclusive way the infallible promise of Jesus in Matthew Chapter 16, verses 18 is being fulfilled in reality. It is Christ by his Spirit, working through the men God has ordained for the ministry, that the church is built, for the bui lders are the Ephesian Fivefold ministry, the ministry expressed in Ephesians Chapter 4, verses 11-15. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, he divested himself of the f i v e f o l d m i n i s t e r i a l attributes of God for salvation, he being the apostle, the prophet, the evangelist, the pastor, and the teacher, and invested them in the fivefold plural ministry of men. These are

December 2014


Page 18

the men referred to as “thy w a t c h M E N ” , i n t h e prophecy of Isaiah 52:8; men who are to bring revelatory Uni ty and Perfection to the universal body of saints, AFTER God had first used the end time E l i j a h t o r e l a y t h e foundation of faith for the re-establishment of the end time builders. In other words, after spiritual Zion had been brought out of the world of organized religion. Brothers and sisters, there is harmony, continuity, and consistency in the Holy Scriptures. It means in effect, that if we are considering the fulfilment of the declaration of Jesus Christ in Matthew 16:18, we must add it to Malachi 4:6B, which gives us the end time Elijah, AND the e n d t i m e A p o s t l e s . Furthermore, we must add it to Ephesians 4:11-13, which gives us the entire folds of the Ephesian ministry, and also add I s a i a h 5 2 : 8 , w h i c h s y n c h r o n i z e s w i t h Ephesians 4:11-13, in the United working of the ministry, in fulfilment of the prayer Jesus Christ offered for unity or oneness. In its final analysis or final application, we will have the complete bride church standing in true spiritual readiness for the return of

Chr is t , a t ta in ing the “ g l o r i o u s c h u r c h ” STATURE laid out in Ephesians 5:26-27. That is what she will become at the end of the day! Therefore, Matthew 16:18 does not stand alone, and neither does John 3:16, and as such, you must SEE THE B I G G E R P I C T U R E . Consequently, it should be plain to one and all, that merely believing John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B, alone, will not do. However, we must appreciate the united functioning which the ministry must uphold, for there is an exclusive way in which the church of the Lord can and will be built, and that is in the exclusive manner which Isaiah 52:8 gives to us, as also confirmed in Ephesians 4:11-13, for these two Books of the Holy Bible synchronize perfectly, in their prophetic projection of the united working of the builders of the church of Christ; how they wil l function or operate, for they will operate in absolute “UNITY”, for “they shall see EYE TO EYE.” Ephesians Chapter 4:11-13 gives us the breakdown of the spiritual “watchmen” recorded in Isaiah 52:8, and what their Unity of revelation will accomplish in the universal bride, for by

it, Christ's glorious building wil l be achieved, for Abraham's elect royal seeds will attain perfection. It all ties right in with Genesis 12:3B, for it is all for the fulfilment of the promise God gave to Abraham, as it is written: “And… in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be blessed.” I repeat: We are looking at the universal nation of the bride, and we a r e a l s o l o o k i n g a t precisely how God is realising this promised goal, for it has a universal application. I will remind you of the Word of God recorded in 1 Peter Chapter 2, verse 9, which states: “But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, AN H O L Y N A T I O N , a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath c a l l e d y o u o u t o f d a r k n e s s i n t o H i s m a r v e l l o u s l i g h t . ” Brothers and sisters, what this means, therefore, is that it is very important that we understand that we must walk in Unity or O n e n e s s , a b s o l u t e Oneness of the faith, seeing EYE to EYE, for we must see the universal picture, for the divine plan of God for the church goes b e y o n d o u r l o c a l

assemblies. Therefore, we a l l b e a r a d i v i n e responsibility upon our lives to walk in this Unity, and as such, we cannot afford to do our own things, and go our own ways, because we must SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE of a universal body. Listen to me now, church, for as I said earlier, we must also apply this message, this truth, to the body of people following the Continuity Message of Jesus Christ, because we bear a very serious responsibi l i ty, having been privileged to have an unrestrained and unlimited accessibility to the rich and deep things of the Spirit of Christ. And as it is written in Luke Chapter 12, verses 47-48: “And that servant, which knew his lord's wil l , and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with MANY STRIPES. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, OF HIM SHALL BE MUCH REQUIRED: and to w h o m m e n h a v e committed much, of him they will ask the more.” IT I S C A L L E D R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y ! Brothers and sisters, it is

easy for a preacher or a pastor to sit in his local c h u r c h , a n d p r e a c h anything he likes, and also do as he pleases. But I will ask you this, in view of Christ's desire for universal oneness among all true believers of the apostolic message of Jesus Christ: What you are preaching and doing in your local assembly, is it aligning your l oca l body w i th t he universal body? That is the issue, the fundamental issue! What you are doing and preaching, is it making the local body in tune with the universal body? I ask that because a builder can e i t h e r t a k e a l o c a l assembly, and align it with the universal body, or he can take that local body, OUT OF THE LOOP! I say this because this plan of salvation is more than your local assembly! It is beyond any local assembly! It is also beyond any nation! This is about the plan of UNIVERSAL SALVATION, which God has ordained for the Gentiles, a universal s a l v a t i o n w h i c h H e promised Abraham! It is b e i n g a c c o m p l i s h e d through Jesus Christ, the Testator of the New Covenant, working through an army of faithful and completely yielded body of builders! If the body of

Christ is to become “a glorious church”, and we know it will be, for John already saw her in heaven, having first been made ready on earth, then, there must be Unity of revelation, for we must ALL see EYE to EYE. Because this glorious chu rch can on ly be o b t a i n e d t h r o u g h Perfection, and perfection cannot be achieved except through Unity of divine revelation, “Unity of the fa i th”! Per fec t ion is noth ing but sp i r i tua l maturity, taking out any and every negativity! Perfection is knowing how to look at things, knowing what goes and what does not go. It is also knowing how to c o n d u c t o u r s e l v e s ; knowing how to live our lives; knowing what is right f rom what is wrong; knowing truth from error. Perfection is knowing what is acceptable from what is not acceptable, particularly as men in the ministry, so that we can be true examples to the flock, for that is precisely what is expected of us, as leaders or as the head of the g e n e r a l b o d y . Consequently, it is not do what I say, because anybody with opportunity can preach: It is do as I do, because the life of the ministry is supposed to

December 2014


Page 20

challenge and positively impact the body of saints, for as ministers of the Gospel, we are the light of the people, and we should live the Word, showing the way by example! Any minister who falls short of this, is having only a head full of knowledge, for it is written in 1 Corinthians Chapter 13, verses 1-2: “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I AM BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of p r o p h e c y , a n d understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I AM NOTHING.” Saints, Perfection is the removal of anything and everything that is contrary, m o s t p a r t i c u l a r l y confusion! Therefore, every man in the ministry must look beyond his local assembly, because you must SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. This thing is a b o u t t h e u n i v e r s a l salvation of God's elect Gentile seeds, for the Spirit of God and His light is the same, for the body is one. A s G o d d e a l s w i t h assembly “A” concerning the true revelation of His

Word, in the very same way He will also deal with assembly “B” concerning the same truth, GIVING T H E M T H E S A M E U N D E R S T A N D I N G , because the message of the “nation” of the bride, or of the body of Christ universal, IS ONE, for her revelation IS ONE; the message of the ministry IS ONE. This is particularly so, because the Spirit of the Lord by which she is saved, which is the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit she possesses, IS ONE! That is why Prophet Isaiah did Not say in h is prophecy recorded in Chapter 52, v e r s e 8 , t h a t : “ T h y watchmen shall lift up THEIR VOICES”, plural; but he declared that: “Thy watchmen” (plural) “shall l i ft up THE VOICE” (singular), One Voice! It is one voice, THE VOICE, which they lift up! It is the true revelation of Jesus Christ they lift up, a divine revelation which is one, wherever the location of the men may be around the world, whether Togo, Niger ia, India, Uganda, United States, Canada, the Philippines, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, or Ghana.

Therefore, the fact that a man is the pastor of his

local assembly; the fact that he is the shepherd over his local body, does not give him any right to preach what he likes, or to do as he likes, IF he is truly a part of God's true “WATCHmen”, whom Isaiah saw in his prophetic projection, for they are definitely not “ B L I N D m e n ” . I t i s hirelings that do what they like, and preach as they like, making themselves lords over God's heritage, just because they are the pastors, rather than being faithful servants! I have to say this because men do a lot of things! They stand b e f o r e t h e i r l o c a l assemblies and preach what they like, and they do what they like, because they are the ones in charge, and you dare not challenge them, for they are the lords of the Manor! When any man does that, do you know the implication of that foolishness? When he does that, he is only taking that local body out of the loop of the Universal bride. Period! I have to warn you sincerely, for YOU CAN BE TAKEN OUT OF THE BIGGER PICTURE! You can! May the Lord help me this morning. You can be taken out of the universal loop of God by your pastor! I repeat: You can be taken out of the UNIVERSAL

LOOP of God by your pas tor ! There is a Universal Oneness of God! This thing is more than any pastor, and it is certainly more than your pastor, whoever he may be; for it is about the Universal body of Christ; it is about God's Universal plan of Gentile redemption, which is much more than your local church body! Brothers and sisters, speaking specifically concerning the s a l v a t i o n w e h a v e received, I want you all to know assuredly that this salvation is one, for it is a “common salvation” we all have, regardless of our location in the earth, for it goes beyond any local assembly, being a universal one, even as it is written in the Book of Jude Chapter 1, verses 3-5: “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of THE COMMON SALVATION, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you tha t ye should earnestly contend for THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of o ld o r d a i n e d t o t h i s condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of o u r G o d i n t o lasciviousness, and

DENYING the only Lord God, AND our Lord Jesus Christ”, (by Denying or by rejecting His truth, for Saint Jude was speaking strictly of spiritual denial, and not of outright denial of Christ! Consequently, Saint Jude warned): “I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, A F T E R W A R D D E S T R O Y E D T H E M THAT BELIEVED NOT.” The same fate awaits all men today, who will also preach or teach contrary to the revealed truth of the Scriptures. Moreover, such men are all under a divine curse placed upon all perverters of the Truth, as p r o n o u n c e d b y t h e inspiration of the Holy Spirit in Galatians Chapter 1, verses 8-9, where Apostle Pau l dec la red : “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other Gospel unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.” Apostle Paul also had to give a warning before he passed

away, similar to that which Saint Jude gave, as recorded by Doctor Luke in the Book of Acts Chapter 20, verses 28-30, which states: “TAKE HEED t h e r e f o r e u n t o yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers”, (Saint Paul referring to the pastors and all the other ministering brethren, the p r e a c h e r s , w h o a r e referred to collectively as overseers), “TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD, which He hath purchased with His own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall MEN ARISE, s p e a k i n g p e r v e r s e things, to draw away disciples after them.” These are bitter realities Apostle Paul laid out in that day, and we are facing the same problems today; the very same pressures, from men in the ministry. In the Year 2004, Raymond Jackson took this same passage of Scripture, Acts Chapter 20, verses 28-30, and he warned in his message titled, The Seals of Revelation 6, Part 2, stating precisely that this evil development could

happen right at Faith A s s e m b l y , a n d unfortunately, it has. For James Allen and Bud Thompson have taken that assembly down a sad and dead road, for not only have they broken it up by the i r e r roneous and heretical teachings, after having first broken up the universal followership of B r o t h e r J a c k s o n ' s message, James Allen has a lso taken over the Contender, the medium of t r u t h w h i c h G o d established to carry only the voice of the chief apostle. But as it is written, every man will receive the reward for what he has done. The chief apostle warned on page 4, columns 4-5: “Who are the grievous wolves he is referring to here? Are they a bunch of bank robbing bandits on the loose? Are they fellows who have had too much to drink? No, they are these preachers who have been anointed by an antichrist spir i t , coming along with their very own version of the Word of God, instead of a pure revelation by the Spirit of God. They always have a new revelation. Oh it is so thrilling to listen to the man preach. I have to use

these i l l us t ra t ions , because of how many times through the years we have heard said, Oh I like the way he preaches, or I like the way he says things; and he has such a pleasing tone to his voice. Well there is nothing wrong in saying that, but have you really heard what was said? I caution you, Remember, brothers and sisters, you are human beings just like I am, and there were different people from various places that heard Bro. Branham through the years; but I ask you, How did those who heard him, come out with so many different ideas about him and his ministry? They did not all hear it the same way. Likewise, when you go back two thousand years, you find that there were different elements of people that did not all hear what was preached, exactly the same. Many of them got a different picture of the things being preached and taught; and they wanted to be known for what their revelation was, so here they came with it. They came into the different congregations so enthused, Oh I am so

ano in ted . Wel l you everyone know what came next. It was always c o n f u s i o n a n d squabbling in those assemblies after such visits. This is exactly why Paul could write, in 1 Tim 4:1-2, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; S p e a k i n g l i e s i n hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” and that is why John could write, “Even now there are many antichrists.” Let us go on and read some more from this 20th Chapter of Acts. (Verse 30): We find Paul saying, “Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples a f t e r t h e m . ” ( 3 1 ) : “Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with t e a r s . ” Ye s . F a i t h Assembly: Be assured, THAT CAN HAPPEN R I G H T I N H E R E , especially if we are not listening to the things that are presented to us, the right way; and with

Page 23

the right attitude and motive.” (Brothers and sisters, this prophetic projection has been fulfilled today, r ight at Fai th Assembly, just as the chief apostle warned in 2004, for James Allen, aided and u r g e d o n b y B u d Thompson, in wilful and flagrant disobedience to Brother Jackson's open declaration, stepped into a shoe that was too big for him, a shoe that God did not give to him, openly supported and urged on by Deva Govender of South Africa, and Russell Davis of Alabama. And in his desperate bid to show that he has what that lead aposto l ic o ff ice demands, when the man cannot even preach, he had to manufacture a most heretical teaching that we are now in the Third Day of Hosea 6:2, directly and blatantly conflicting the truth Brother Jackson laid out with absolute clarity ON this subject , IN h is very p r e s e n c e , I N m a n y sermons, a truth which is IN m a n y C o n t e n d e r magazines. He even has the godless audacity to place this heresy as a notice on the Contender page of the website of faith Assembly. And by this horrible and incredible

tommyrot teaching which J a m e s A l l e n c a l l e d revelation, the Jackson Movement was scattered to the four winds! He also took over the Contender Magazine, a medium God ordained to carry only the Continuing Message of Raymond Jackson, using it to carry his Non-message. If this is not the Anti-Christ spirit at work, then, I do not know what else it is. Darkness indeed has set in, for it has taken over, and strange things are happening in the earth. T h e c h i e f a p o s t l e continued): “Well Bro. Jackson, how do we know tha t you are preaching the truth? Well I have been preaching for fifty years, and I HAVE N O T C H A N G E D M Y REVELATION YET. God has graciously added to it, but I have not had to go back and apologize for anything I have taught in the past. Furthermore, I never have asked God for a halo over my head, but I have asked Him to help me make certain I have it right before I teach it. That goes for everything else also: I do not just suddenly get an idea and start running with it: I make sure I know what I am talking about, before I make a move. I will

confess to all of you, that there have been many times in my life, that God has had to propel me, and almost force me, before I would do certain things. Since the death of Bro. Branham, which is going on close to forty years now, we have travelled a r o u n d t h e w o r l d preaching the things God has put in my heart. I have letters from those places, thanking us for the truth we have stood for during this time. I have to say, I am not going to back down, nor sit down for ANY MAN that may think he has a better revelation this late in my life. Let us continue on here, because I want to emphasize what Paul said, “Also of your own selves shall men arise, s p e a k i n g p e r v e r s e t h i n g s ” , F o r w h a t reason? “to draw away disciples after them.” THEY WANT SOMEBODY TO KNOW, I HAVE A REVELATION. May I say this? I have seen a lot of that kind of manoeuvring in the past forty years… I have to say these things, because through the y e a r s T H I S H A S HAPPENED RIGHT HERE IN FAITH ASSEMBLY. Listen carefully to what I am saying, because I am

not pointing the finger at anyone in here at this time.” Just how prophetic t h a t p r o j e c t i o n i s , particularly as James Allen came out with his heretical teaching that we are now in the Third Day, just so as to show that he has the ability for an office he took over presumptuously, an office which God did not give to him, and an office for which he has no grace to bear! Earlier on in the same message, page 1, column 2, Brother Jackson also stated concerning Apostle Paul: “When he wrote the letter to the Roman Assembly, he had heard things that the Roman believers had already been troubled with. They had been faced with the t rouble-makers that c a m e a n d t r i e d t o convince them that they would still have to keep the Law of Moses, in order to be saved… Then he closed out his letter with this admonition, (Rom 16:17-18): “Now I beseech you, brethren, MARK THEM which cause divisions and offences contrary to the Doctrine which ye have learned; AND AVOID THEM. (18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by

good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” It is e a s y t o s e e a n d understand why Paul did not hesitate to lay it on the line where necessary, so I ask you, Should it be any different in our day, w h e n m e n a s s u m e authority to teach and lead believers, AND THEY THEMSELVES ARE FOUND IN ERROR?” Exactly! If men who are supposed to be the head of the body of saints are teaching things which babies in the Continuity light will not even teach, then, what right do they have to expect God's children to sit under them? That is the point, for this is not a game, and neither are we playing politics! Holding a ministry, particularly being a pastor, a shepherd, is a great responsibility, and as such, men have to be very careful in what they teach or project, for they can derail their local a s s e m b l y f r o m t h e universal body, taking them out of the loop of God, for no local assembly can go it alone, because no local assembly bears a different faith to that which the entire body holds, and by which the entire universal body is being built! I say all these th ings, knowing that

someone will take heed, even though it will not stop men who have a hidden agenda in their hearts, for we are yet to see the true ministry.

Church, it is a fact that every revival produces twins, and as such, there are some sad realities we will also face in this move, for no move is removed from it, because there are men in the ministry who are also riding this train, only because of what they can get out of it, or for what they can use it to accomplish for themselves, and no one c a n s t o p t h a t f r o m happening. You just have to know where you stand, and keep your eyes on the Scriptures, for “winds” will definitely blow. However, we must know, brothers and sisters, just as it is written, that God makes “ALL THINGS” work together for the progress of the plan of salvation, a plan which is ever on course, for it is ever moving forward, because it can never be derailed, for God and His Word are sovereign! No one should take offence at these things, i f your consc ience i s c lear. Moreover, you can show yourself as a true and faithful minister of the Gospel, by staying in line,

December 2014


Page 25

for no one will condemn you for not bringing out new revelation, for it is written in 2 Timothy Chapter 2, verse 15: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, A WORKMAN THAT NEEDETH NOT TO BE A S H A M E D , r i g h t l y dividing the word of truth.” The desire to be recognised for having a new revelation is what kills many ministries, for it is what motivates them to teach things they should not teach, for they see something where there is practically nothing. In essence, I am making a very serious point by these statements, and that is that it is written of the true “watchMEN”, that they shall lift up “The VOICE”, t he One VOICE OF TRUTH, because “they shall see EYE TO EYE.” This is absolutely so, for it is made possible, Not only because the plan of God's Universal salvation is one, for the body of Christ is one; but also because they see the Scriptures in the very same light, having been dealt with by the same Spirit of Christ, whose revelation is one, working through the lead ministry. I repeat: It is so because they are drinking from the same fountain, and they have the same taste bud for

the truth they are hearing from God's readers! As such, IF your pastor will move with God in the truth, only to a certain point and stop, then, you must find your way, IF after many corrections he will just not mend. In addition, IF all your pastor or preacher can see is John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B, but he cannot also see Matthew 13:52, please run for your life! At least you can run for your life! You may not be in the ministry, but at least you have legs, and you are supposed to have a true divine revelation that should motivate you, for it is what propels all true eagles of God! You do not have to be in the ministry before you can know when something is not right or true; for as a child of God, you should be able to see when someone is turning white into black, or when he is making black to be white, particularly because the revelation of the plan of salvation has been made very plain today, for it is crystal clear, and it is of universal accessibility! Consequently, walking with God in this revealed way of life is more than your love for your pastor, or your love for your local assembly, because this is about the “common salvation” of

the universal nation of the bride. Therefore, you have to SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE! This has a Universal application, and the bride must be aligned as one in her revelation, for Jesus is coming back for a universal body of saints that are perfectly United in their revelation of the Word of Christ! Therefore, IF you do not see the Universal picture, and you think that your local assembly is yours to do as you please, because you are the pastor, you will only take yourself out of the loop of God, for this is much more than your local assembly! May the Lord help me. I am at the highlight of this message. I repeat: This thing is more than your local body, because God is dealing with the Universal body as One. And the true ministry will therefore function as One, for there will be no conflict in what they teach, in order to bring Unity of revelation to the Universal bride of Christ. Consequently, it is most certain that as men in the ministry, we will see the same picture, because we see the one picture drawn by God's current Scribe, and hence draw the same picture OF TRUTH, for the local body of saints, wherever our individual

December 2014


Page 26

locations may be, and this we will certainly do, IF WE ARE BEING DEALTH WITH BY THE SAME SPIRIT OF CHRIST. There will be no conflict of faith, creat ing unnecessary confusion, and so, you cannot tell me: “Oh, well, this is the way God showed it to me, and I must preach it. I know God called me. Just wait, and you will see.” Is that thing which you are h o l d i n g o n t o m o r e important than obtaining Unity within the Universal body? Would you rather divide and destabilize the body of saints because of your so-called revelation? And what is even in the little toy you are dying to peddle to your people? And since when is it given to each and every man in the ministry to be peddl ing his own personal revelation? Who are you? Are you the bearer of the blueprint? Saint Paul c h a l l e n g e d t h e C o r i n t h i a n s , s a y i n g : “What? How dare you question me! Did the Message of Christ, the revelation of Christ, come from you? Did it come by you? Or are you the only ones that received it, that you want to argue over issues of truth?” It came from Apostle Paul, for he held the divine blueprint of Gentile salvation, as “the

apostle of the Gentiles”, “a wise masterbuilder”! In 1 Corinthians Chapter 14, verses 36-38, Saint Paul challenged: “What? came the Word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write u n t o y o u a r e t h e commandments of the Lord. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.” In the same vein, I will say today, that the true light of Jesus Christ of the Bible is being carried by John! The Continuing and Climaxing light of Christ is not coming from you, and it is not coming to you alone either! It is coming from John to the Universal body of saints! Out there in the Branham Movement, they will not believe what I have just said, and they do not have to believe what I just said; b u t i t i s t h e t r u t h nonetheless, because everything that has a certain beginning ministry point, also has a definite concluding ministry point. A n d t h e c o n c l u d i n g ministry point for us Gentiles is John, the man that eats the entire scroll of redemption, because the eating of the scroll speaks

of completion; it gives us the conclusion of God's plan of Gentile salvation. Full stop! That is precisely why according to the Book of Revelation Chapter 11, verses 1-2, John takes the plumb-line, and moves with it to the land of Israel, and he measures “the temple of God, AND the altar, AND them that worship therein”, showing that true s a l v a t i o n , t r u e r i g h t e o u s n e s s , t r u e worship, is restored back to Israel, through the Jewish Connection! Oh, I feel religious! Unity is on, brothers and sisters. But p lease, do not take yourselves out of the loop of the Universal body. This message is not for those carnal so-called Message believers, and neither is it for Denominational folks. We are speaking to one another as God's eagles, for we are God's eagles! We are not chickens, and we are not crows or hawks; we are eagles, God's eagles; and as eagles, we are flying, and will continue to fly, for the anointing we have received is not a stationary one, but it is the anointing of “a flying eagle”, one which puts us in perpetual spir i tual motion! We are in perpetual motion because “THE E A G L E I S S T I L L

FLYING.” Come fly with us, for we are mounting ever higher on the wings of divine revelation of the Word of Jesus Christ! It is not by our righteousness, and neither is it by our smartness. It is strictly by the sheer grace and mercy of God.

Brothers and sisters, the truth remains that the true light is now shining today. And whilst famine is all over the lands, for it is all over the world, famine for hearing the True and Original Word of God, one more time, all roads lead to Africa, because in Africa, there is bread, unleavened bread galore, in the lighthouse! Halleluiah! Because Jesus Christ, our Joseph, is here by his Spirit in Africa, as he is unveiled in his Word! Who can deny it? Deny it as much as you want, it is still the truth! There is bread at this evening time in Africa! Saints of God, you have to S E E T H E B I G G E R PICTURE . Th is is a Universal plan, very rich, and very glorious, for it is much more than John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B, and it is also beyond your local assembly, AND it is much more than any local ministry! May I therefore say this afternoon, that

there is no man in any part of this globe that can operate in isolation of the Universal body. You will die w i th you r assemb ly, sp i r i t ua l l y speak ing ! Period! I repeat myself: There is no ministry in any part of this world, and there is no local body of people, tha t can opera te i n i s o l a t i o n , w i t h t o t a l disregard to the present tense revelation of the Word of God given to the Universal body of Christ; for if you do, you will die, because you are out of the loop of God! However, if there are seeds of God in such local assemblies, God will take them out from such graveyards! You cannot afford to take yourself out of the general picture, the global picture, for the plan of redemption is bigger than your ministry and your local assembly! It is much more than Bible Faith Ta b e r n a c l e , L a g o s ! Consequently, you must S E E T H E B I G G E R PICTURE, for IT IS A UNIVERSAL PICTURE! If y o u g o a g a i n s t t h e Universal plot, God's plot for the universal “Nation” of the bride, you are out of the loop of God. YOU JUST CANNOT OPERATE IN ISOLATION, for it will not work! It will only show that you have no understanding

of anything, for you lack divine revelation, which is precisely why you lock yourself up in your little cocoon, and think that that is the all of it! Please! I p l ead w i th you th i s afternoon, because I am at the end of my message. I p l ead w i th you th i s afternoon, for you must see the revelation of Jesus Christ. He has a Universal plan, One Plan for the entire Gentile Universal body, before salvation reverts back to Israel, once the days of Gentiles come to a close. And it will come to a close, when Gentile salvation is complete. And once the plan of Gentile salvation is complete, God will lead John to take the plumb-line of the Word, and restore it back to Israel in the Jewish Connection, re-opening the door of salvation to the Jews. In that day, he is going to give an elect element of the children of Israel the testimony of where God has been in the past two thousand years; what He has been doing, and what He now has in store for the nation of Israel, thereby causing them to look forward to the coming ministry of Moses and Elijah. The rain will fall in that day, during that C o n n e c t i o n , a n d a n

December 2014


Page 28

element of Jews will be sealed into the tree of life, as God re-opens the door of eternal life back to the Nation of Israel, signifying the fact that the door has already been closed to the Gentile world, and the rapture will come. Saints, it is a Universal picture, and we must all see it, and let this understanding temper our teaching and manner of life. Consequently, you must understand today, that it is not enough to see John 3:16; it is not even enough to see the four Synoptic Gospels; you must also see all the Epistles, for together with the Epistles, we are given the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ; the Full Message of the New Testament. Do not also forget the promise Jesus Christ made in John Chapter 16, verses 12-13: “I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and HE WILL SHEW YOU THINGS TO COME.” It is precisely on account of this promise, the promise that whatever the junction of t ime we l ive in, the

Comforter will shew us the things of Christ to come, that in 96 AD, Jesus revealed himself to Apostle John, on the Isle of Patmos, through the instrumentality of his angel, and he tells us in Revelation Chapter 22, verse 16: “I JESUS HAVE SENT MINE ANGEL to testify unto you these t h i n g s i n t h e CHURCHES” (p lura l ; churches collective; none excluded, being a universal picture, and having a universal application). The angel of Christ came to John, expressing the very image of Jesus Christ, and also spoke in his person, thereby letting us know assuredly, that what he laid out in this prophetic Book, are the prophetic things of Jesus Christ to come. Jesus now sealed this great and indispensable p r o p h e t i c t r u t h i n Revelation Chapter 22, when he declared in verses 18-19: “For I testify unto every man that heareth t h e w o r d s o f t h e prophecy of This Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in This Book: And if any man shall take away from the words of The Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the

Book of Life, and out of the Holy City, and from the things which are written in This Book.” That is how serious the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ for this day is, for the things written therein, have an end time application, in the main, and it was written for the end time bride, as the crowning of her divine revelation. It has Universal application to the bride, and there is No man, and No assembly in the entire Branham Movement, that can walk contrary to the light of this prophecy, without paying an eternal p r i ce . Consequen t l y, brothers and sisters, you must SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. In the plan of the wrapping up of Gentile salvation, and according to the prophetic revelation of Jesus Chr i s t t o the Universal bride, the picture is finished off by the ministry of the seven thunders of Revelation Chapter 10, verses 3-4. And in the seven thunders, there is the lead thunder, who is John, the man whom Jesus gives the entire scroll of redemption for his consumption, as recorded in verses 8-11. Therefore, if you can see John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B, you must also see Revelation 10:3-4,

December 2014


Page 29

as well as verses 8-11; for to reject the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ in any measure, however small, and no matter how much Gospel of salvation you think you believe, and no matter how much you think you are saved, IS CERTAIN DEATH! For to believe the Gospel of Christ, is also to believe the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ, for we cannot believe Jesus in part and disbelieve him in part! That i s a n a b s o l u t e a n d unchanging truth! The Full Gospel of Christ is the whole Message of Jesus Christ, and it takes in e v e r y t h i n g t h e N e w Testament gives to us, from the Gospel o f Sa in t Matthew, right through to the Book of Revelation, for this is what the total Message of salvation entails, for it takes in ALL the revelation of Jesus Christ, both the Gospel message, as well as his Prophetic revelation! You have to wholly believe it, otherwise, as Jesus says in Revelation Chapter 22, verses 18-19, as a Gentile, IF you reject or deny ANY part of this prophetic revelation, because all you see are the Gospels, your faith is in vain, and you are certain of the Lake of Fire! The choice is yours, for you

must SEE THE BIGGER P I C T U R E . F o r t h e prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ is as much truth as John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B! If we see what Jesus said in John 3 :16 , as we l l as in Revelation 10:7, we must also see what he said concerning the ministry of the end time John, which is also recorded in Revelation 10:8-11, as well as what he also said concerning the ministry of the seven thunders, in Revelation 10:3-4, for it is all the same revelation of our Saviour Jesus the Christ! You cannot deny any, or you m a k e y o u r s e l f a n unbeliever! Saint Jude warned in verse 5: “I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.” Apostle Paul also warned in Hebrews Chapter 3, verses 7-19: “Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My w o r k s f o r t y y e a r s .

Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known My WAYS. So I sware in My wrath, They shall not enter into My r e s t . ) T a k e h e e d , brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, IF we hold the b e g i n n i n g o f o u r confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your h e a r t s , a s i n t h e provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware He that they should not enter into His rest, but to them that believed not? SO WE SEE THAT THEY COULD N O T E N T E R I N B E C A U S E O F UNBELIEF.” Unbelief will separate you eternally from

God, for unbelief is too costly. You must therefore believe the prophetic r e v e l a t i o n o f t h e resurrected Christ; for as I keep emphasizing, it is as much truth as the Gospel message he gave us when he was here on earth.

When we come to the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ recorded in the Book of Revelation Chapter 10, what do we see? We not only see the seventh star messenger to this age in verse 7, we also see John in verses 8-11, as well as the seven thunders in verses 3-4. But before we see the thunders, we must first see John, for he is the stepping stone, the ministry stepping stone into the thunders; “the NEXT STEP in there”! It is rightly dividing the Word of truth, reading between the lines! Saints, it is an undeniable fact that there will be seven thunders. But the issue is: Who w i l l t he seven thunders be? You are not going to have seven thunders outside of the “Wise Men” of the end time, as promised by Jesus in Matthew Chapter 23, verse 34. And who exactly are the “wise men”? They are none other than the apostles of the end time; for out of these “wise men”,

the Lord will choose seven m e n a s “ s e v e n thunders.” Period! Any idiot can make himself a wise man, for any idiot can make himself an apostle; but like the Ephesian believers in Revelation Chapter 2, verse 2, we also know fa lse apost les, because we have tried them by the Scriptures, and found them to be liars! Consequently, when we are talking about the apostles out of whom God will anoint seven thunders, we are not talking about false apostles, but about the original apostolic order which the Lord will set in place today. So, the seven thunders are going to be seven apostles known to the Lord, chosen from the apostles which God will establish around the world, for the bride of Christ, from the solid grounds of the revealed continuing truth of Jesus Christ! But like I always say, if God will use seven apostles, common sense will tell you that He cannot leave the lead apostle out of it, for God d o e s n o t o v e r t u r n leadership. Brothers and sisters, before you think of the seven thunders, you must first think of John, for he will be the lead thunder. That is why many years a g o , i n o n e o f o u r

Conventions, we took a message titled, LOOKING FOR THE THUNDERS: LOOK FOR JOHN. If you a r e l o o k i n g f o r t h e thunders, just look for John, and you will eventually get the thunders. There is nowhere else to get the thunders; because John in that day will be the lead thunder, being the final candlestick of Jesus Christ to the Gentile bride, the man who eats the entire scrol l of redemption. Brothers and sisters, we do not care what the Branham Movement says about that! They do not need to believe, and we do not care whether they believe it or not, although we pray they do; but the good thing is that the bride believes it, and that is all that is important. Halleluiah! So, before you think of the thunders, and as a matter of fact, before you see the thunders in Revelation Chapter 10, you first have to see John, the man whom the Lord gives the open s c r o l l f o r h i s t o t a l consumption. So, if all you see is John 3:16, and Malachi 4:6B, where are you going to put John? Because it is John who sees Jesus coming with the fully open scroll, as he is characterized by Archangel Michael, the Angel of the

Page 30


December 2014

Covenant, who is THE ANGEL OF TIME! I am showing you the closing plan of God's plan of U n i v e r s a l s a l v a t i o n ! Michael has been in charge of this plan of redemption all through time, right from the Old Testament. He has watched over this great plan right from the Old Testament days, right up to and through the New Testament days. And where is Michael in the spirit today? He is right here in Africa, watching over the progress of the Gospel, for he is the one responsible for its movement to Africa in the first place, after the passing away of the chief apostle, and after having watched over it in the United States f o r d e c a d e s ! T h a t revelatory anointing, the revelatory unction of the Spirit of God that was first invested in the Elijah of this end time, which he took, and subsequently invested in the end time Paul, he now took, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean with it, on his way to the Land of Israel, in the Middle East, and invested it in John, in Africa, the Last Gentile “Candlestick” of Jesus Christ: Because with this third and final move of redemption for the elect bride in this last age,

salvation comes to a close for us Gentiles. It has been a long journey, but this is the end of it; for every journey, however long, has a last step. And when you take the last step, you say, “It is now ALL OVER”, and the rapture will come. However, until it is over, it is not yet over, and as such, you must keep marching on with the Lord Jesus Christ, in the light of his revealed Word of God, firmly and unashamedly BELIEVING EVERYTHING OF CHRIST THAT IS WRITTEN. You will be hated and despised for it, but as the Lord promised in his Word, he, Jesus, will also confess you before God the Father and His holy angels, and you will also leave a glorious testimony, one which Saint Paul left as recorded in the Book of Acts Chapter 24, verse 14, where he declared: “But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, BELIEVING ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE LAW A N D I N T H E PROPHETS.” We are in the days of Bible Scribes, for BIBLE DAYS ARE BACK. Yes, any idiot can make himself a scribe, but it is the fruits of a man's

ministry that will show, for the true ministry gives perfect understanding to God's children. Divine revelation makes truth plain; it makes it so simple, as Christ by his Spirit, work ing th rough the ministry, begins to connect the dots, and the giant complex puzzle of salvation begin to take shape, coming together most beautifully, and the Universal picture begins to get clearer, brighter, deeper, and wider, thereby enriching the elect bride of Christ on an unparalleled level, for she is ordained for eternal glory in the rapture. And as it is written in Ecclesiastes Chapter 7, verses 8: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…” For the anointing of the bride ministry will change from a salvational anointing to a prophetic one. I thank God for the prophetic revelation of Jesus Christ, because were it not for his prophetic revelation, recorded in the Book of Revelation, which spel ls out the entire prophetic events of the end time; we would have had no clue to the prophetic realities we are facing today. It is on account of it, and the igniting of the ministry of the first end time Scribe, William Branham,

that we know what the Mark of the Beast is. Otherwise, we would have had no clue! And if the Lord had not opened this deep prophetic truth up for us, just how would we have known what it is? We would have united with it, thinking that it is in the best interest of all Christians, on account of the global persecution and hatred of Christians, not realizing that we are joining the great “Image of the Beast”! Some preachers actually think that the image of the beast is a giant c o m p u t e r l o c a t e d i n Brussels, and they have written books on it, for I have read such things in times past! Thank God for the light! What is the Image of the beast? It is the World Church Council, or the World Council of Churches! That is why we have absolutely nothing to do with Ecumenism! How could we know if God did not also give us prophetic revelation? It simply means that you cannot only believe t h e s i m p l e s a v i n g Scriptures, like John 3;16, without also accepting his prophetic plan, because it gives us serious insight, not only to what God is doing, but also to what the devil is also doing, in order to keep us from the snare of the enemy. Knowing the devil's

plans and ways, by divine insight, puts us ahead of any move he may make, for by divine insight, we are posted ahead. And by k n o w i n g a h e a d ; b y knowing precisely what Satan will do, what then can he do that will make a difference to the bride of Christ? Think about it! Revelation puts us one step ahead of the devil, for we have been assured by Jesus that we will not walk in darkness, IF we are truly following him; for he will give us the revelation of life! That is why the Book of Proverbs Chapter 1, verse 17, says that it is useless laying a trap before a bird that is watching you. Here you are setting a trap for a bird, but it is seeing you as you put the bait there for it. That bird will never come for that bait! You are only wasting your time! That little canary bird, though with only its bird brain, will look at you, and say, “These human beings really think we have no sense. They forget that we are also God's creation, and that there is also a divine unction in our lives. When they do not know that an earthquake or a tsunami is coming, we know before it comes, and we fly to safety, whilst they, the humans are caught by it.”

How come before an earthquake strikes an area, all the birds and animals are already gone? It is the divine unction of God working in their lives to preserve them! So also, what is the use of the move of Satan, when Jesus has already posted us ahead? That is the power of Jesus showing us things to come in our day, for it is prophetic insight!

Consequently, brothers and sisters, You must see THE BIGGER PICTURE. God's plan of Gentile salvation, which started with the ministry of Saint Paul, the Chief Apostle, in the first church age, is ending with the ministry of Saint John, the Lead A p o s t l e , a n d b o t h ministries are clearly and plainly laid out in the written Word. May I therefore say this, brothers and sisters, for although the road is steep and lonely right now, however, there is a glory coming for the bride! The world does not know who we are; but our time of showing is coming. Right now, we a re in the wilderness, hidden away from the world, as the Spirit of Christ is dealing with us revelatorily, in quietness, and without any noise, for it is the secret working of the

Page 32


December 2014

Lord, the working of the still small voice; the Holy Spirit unveiling of the Word. But when the hour of our showing comes, heavens will open; a torrential downpour will fall like the world has never seen before! Then, out of obscurity will come forth a bride, the bride of Christ, straight into the limelight, taking on the centre stage of the globe! What bride? The “glorious church”; the “super church, a super race”, A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AND A PECULIAR PEOPLE!!! And as it is written, the glory of the latter shall be greater than that of the former. Look at the Book of Acts, and multiply whatever the Lord did in it, for that is precisely what is coming for the end time bride; for the apostolic glory is definitely c o m i n g , o n a n unprecedented scale! Glorious times are ahead

for the bride, even though evil times are ahead for the unbelieving world. Saints, we have a glorious future on this earth! It does not appear so now, because God is dealing quietly, revelatorily with the bride. When the Word has anchored, and the bride has been established; when God turns the ministry of the bride loose, it is fire that He sends down for the Universal Nation of the bride: A revival will break forth throughout this earth, strictly in the camp of the bride, and what a people will emerge before the unbelieving world! At the end, we will stand in his glorious image, and the world will wonder: “Who are these people? Where have they been?” Because right now, we are not on television; we are not on radio; we are not on cable satellite; we are not in the newspaper; we do not have any advertisements; we do

not distribute handbills, and neither are we on any bill boards. If you are not looking for revealed truth, and you do not have an ear for revealed truth, you cannot find the elect bride. For as it stands today, as it is right now, she is called and revealed in the truth. And if you cannot see the truth, IF you cannot see her light, it is utterly impossible to see the bride, for she is not yet in shape; she is still in the making. And yet, she is a universal body of elect seeds of God; for there is a universal loop to the bride, a loop that must be kept in serious view by all who want to make it as bride, for the Bride is One. Brothers and sisters, SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE. Shall we bow our heads in prayer. (Brother Amos prayed).

The Lord bless you.
