It is Easter. Before I got born-again on a Good Friday I participated vigorously in the Passion of Christ known as 'The Stations of The Cross' by the Roman Catholics, which culminated their 40 days of fasting, that is to say Lent, and the beginning of Easter. On that Passion Week, which was the last week of Lent according to the Christian calendar, I bore a wooden cross—taller, bigger and larger than myself—up to a number of stations with interludes of prayers and hymns then I was replaced by other volunteers to complete the stations. All in all though I did merely realize how Jesus suffered and I later on felt how it pained this Hero as well and wept for it sorrowfully, which was totally erroneous, whether that was based on faith or on emotions. Instead, through Jesus' death on the Cross, after He was baptized in the Jordan River for the transferral of our sins, we need to remember our own sin state and accept the just sacrifice of the Messiah on our behalf for the absolute remission of all our sins. It will remain falsehood if we cling to the fact to pity Jesus' death on the Cross and to be oblivious of the sins that remain intact in our hearts He already took from the arms of John the Baptist at the Jordan River during His baptism, which has got to be where our self-pity should spring forth from. No one needs to participate in the Passion of Christ as such. We can take part in it by believing in His baptism and death on the Cross. Only faith saves us from all sins. We can take part in the Passion of Jesus by faith. And we take part in His death and resurrection by faith. Like that, now in the Church of God, we the born-again saints only observe and celebrate Christmas once every year. This is the viewpoint from the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Not strictly on Christian holidays like the nominal Christians who out of hypocrisy religiously and rigorously follow such Christian holidays. 

Jesus was born in AD 1. He created everything from the beginning with His Word. Jesus is the Son of God and God Himself who in the beginning created the heavens and the earth with the eternal world Heaven and hell and man on the sixth day of creation but His priority was to save mankind from their sins and He made it thus. God's purpose and His work was to save mankind from all their sins in its entirety through His only begotten Son who came on earth incarnated in the flesh of man while abandoning the splendor and the glory of the throne of Heaven, borne the sins of mankind by being baptized at the age of 30, after three years He died by getting crucified on the Cross and rose again from the dead on the third day and bore witness of the righteousness of God for forty days. Let us praise and all our thanks be given to the name of Jesus Christ.

For quite a while I have been serving the righteousness of God as revealed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit alongside my colleagues, but, to begin with, coming across this Southeast Asian nation of South Korea it's so so telling yet was a dream come true. Uh-oh, what a country! This is truly honorable to meet with you through The New Life Mission where we break bread with the little shepherds together and have a true spiritual fellowship and communion. Oh, this is truly honorable when male and female servants meet in Christ and for them to have a nice day together in Christ. I believe the rose in the desert will blossom with you and I as such perfect ornamental knobs of the golden lampstand, which was made up of a talent of hammered pure gold, for the flower of the gospel to bloom. We move on irregardless in plowing all the fields of the hearts of mankind and plant the seeds of the gospel of the baptism of Jesus and His vicariously shed blood on the Cross for the Lord God to provide for us workers who'll reap abundantly during the harvest. 

At the Twitter handle of the president of my homeland I tweeted an invite to the beautiful gospel of the water and the Spirit. President Paul Biya of course, in terms of longevity over power, in that order, becomes one of the longest serving presidents of Cameroon. Just like this, the Lord desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). Paul the Apostle's spiritual son was this Timothy. The Lord God appointed the Apostle Paul as the twelfth disciple after Judas died by hanging himself. That is why Paul said that he was called by God to be an apostle. The Apostle Paul was a Jew. And Hebrew is the language spoken by the Jews. He studied under the great rabbi Gamaliel and he was versed enough in the Law and in the Old Testament Scriptures. He was circumcised when he was 8 days old. 

Matthias was picked by lot when the eleven apostles cast lots. In Acts 1:15-26, in order to understand how Matthias was chosen by lots, the apostles stressed on picking someone who can account for Jesus' baptism by John on the River Jordan. Matthias was one of the peoples who accompanied the apostles and saw the things that happened during the public ministry of Jesus Christ. One can't fully grasp every bit of a thing in a cursory manner. Apostle Paul's name was Saul before he met the resurrected Lord while on his first mission trip on his way to Damascus. His old name was Saul. Saul means the best. Paul means the least. He was a tent-maker in order to make a living and earn money. His ministry was known as the "tent-making mission" (Acts 18:3). Prior to receiving the remission of his sins he was of Judaism which is a religion of the Law that doesn't believe in Jesus. And the Holy God hates Judaism awfully that is why He calls Judaism as "the synagogue of Satan" (Revelation 3:9). Like for most Christians today who are pragmatic with this religion and who are equivalent to the Early Jewish Christians, who don't believe in the perfect Savior Jesus Christ, the only way out is the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which remits your sins and where redemption is found. Paul was a teacher for the Gentiles (and he preached equally to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews from the beginning in the Ephesian Church). He was from the tribe of Benjamin. He remained single all his life preaching this gospel until his martyrdom in Rome. Thanks upon thanks for this Jesus-given gospel of the water and the Spirit. Hallelujah!
