LOOKING UNTO JESUS

 

Looking Unto Jesus!

And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel.

Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven.

O’ what a day this was for the one hundred and twenty disciples! To be the only witnesses of Christ’s Flight to Heaven.

It was necessary for these Believers to know their sufferings for the Gospel and Jesus was worth dying for!

This steadfast gazing towards Heaven and immovable faith armed these Believers with death and Hell defying stance never seen before.

 And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The Preaching of the Gospel to the end of the world, is the only reason why God hasn’t folded this world like a dirty rag as He promised to. It has nothing to do with Israel.

Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith, is more than a metaphor. It is faith in action.

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God.

Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand! These were the very first words Jesus uttered as He preached His first sermon in Galilee of Judaea. Repent, Repent!

Today’s prosperity and motivational false preachers, are avoiding to call their congregants to repentance like cancer. Are you surprised?

If you want to receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, please repeat this prayer after me!

I hear this flippant empty invitation across TBN, God TV, Day Star and all over the world.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

While America behaves like it is the Capital of Christianity, Islam remains the fastest growing religion in the US, according to religious polls.

America is the world’s capital for false preachers and teachers. Hello, this is factual.

Hollywood entertainment and reality show carnality inside the so-called house of God, defies logic and Scripture.

Sad but true, we live in a world of fakes! Fake churches, fake preachers, fake apostles and fake prophets!

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the Joy that was set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the Right Hand of the Throne of God.

He must increase and I must decrease, John the Baptist shut down his Disciples when they complained Jesus was becoming more popular than him!

Who for the Joy that was set before Him endured the Cross and despised the shame, and is now seated at the Right Hand of the Father!

The Cross Jesus endured was the precursor for acquiring the Joy God had prepared for Him. It had to be the Cross before Joy. Take up your cross and follow me, says Jesus!

The False Teachers of this world have deceived you into believing that walking in the Fullness of Christ, is all about your bling-bling of prosperity.

Your tithes and offerings are the only keys you need in order to be more blessed than your so-called personal enemies! I beg to differ…

Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. Whose face do you see emblazoned inside the pages of your Bible?

Which voice do you hear? Jesus’s or your false teachers? Are you following Christ or mortal men? Do you even fear God in your heart?

Hello, all the Apostles of Jesus Christ died a cruel death for preaching the Message of the Cross… they were persecuted, killed and fed to starved lions for witnessing for Christ!

Do you mind showing me the scars suffered by your false teachers who you esteem higher than the Apostles of Jesus Christ?

Were any of these charlatans ever imprisoned for an hour even, for following Christ?

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory which shall be revealed in us.

And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the Will of God abides forever.

Jesus Christ… Yesterday, Today and Forever. Give me Jesus or leave me alone!
