Warm greetings to everyone. What happened at the Oscars this 2022 in the US? Will Smith smacked Chris Rock following a joke by Chris Brown on Will's wife, Jada Pinkett, losing her hair on her head—due to a rather clinically diagnosed syndrome. In my own opinion, after separately reading the testimony of salvation by one pastor from South Korea and later listening to a Q&A audio recording by the founder of a worldwide revival movement based in Nigeria they both required that one removes his or her pair of flip-flops and smacks them on their faces and move contrary and away from such demon-possessed teachings by and of the Holiness Revival Movement as well as the Korean pastor whoever they may be. I extend my warm greetings to the brethren at breadoflife.co.kr and to all the coworkers of The New Life Mission, for their indomitable reliance on the true faith as well, by meeting Jesus with the gospel of the water and the Spirit so far through some of the books published by the New Life Mission exceeding 200 titles from dozens of languages accordingly. 

Yeah. Chris Rock was slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars in America following a joke by Chris Rock on Will's wife, Jada Pinkett, losing the hair on her head, due rather to a clinically diagnosed syndrome. What is urgently needed when hearing the false gospel preachers' sermons is for one to remove his/her pair of shoes and smack them both on their faces. Is the Church a place to settle on our different scores in etiquettes? But of course not! Otherwise this is surely but a synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9). In the Pentateuch (from Genesis to Deuteronomy) the Five Books of Moses also known as the Torah God gave us 613 clauses of the Law and the Ten Commandments. Now, when I saw ladies with perm hairs, when I was young, and even as I grew up, being denounced according to the Law even though they are saved and born-again, it leads us to a misconstrued judgment from the vantage point of the Law. Of which the Law was given for us to recognize our sins (Romans 3:20). For trying to live according to the Law, though it is impossible with man, is tantamount to mocking God and eventually living as such is in vain, with sin in your heart. To be holy means to be apart from sin and not to be impeccably immaculate. Can you grasp this?

Hmm. What is sin? It is not to live by the Laws of God and according to His will. Sin means to miss the mark and in Hellenic it is "ἁμαρτία (hamartia)" with its verbal form "hamartano." The foremost precondition for one to be saved and to inherit eternal life in the Kingdom of Christ is to be a sinner at least once in your lifetime. That is it. Then you BELIEVE in both righteous acts of the Lord Jesus Christ's water baptism at the Jordan River and His sacrifice on the wooden Cross in our place to constitute one Man's righteous act for our perfect salvation from sin, our atoning grace and the saving Word of the Truth for all eternity. Do you believe in this? We need to definitely empty all our hearts and take in My gospel to our hearts' content and not through and with our own volition, for mankind's will and righteousness is like a used and filthy rug worse than excrement. Put it easier, at the crossroads, the everlasting remission of sin is for those who are poor in spirit and who possess the gift of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and inherit the Kingdom of God whereas unbelievers are doomed as sinners and who are to be seasoned with unquenchable fire in hell (Mark 9:49). Can you grasp this? The former remain the lighthouse in this darkening world illuminating the lost generation with the Truth of Jesus' flesh and blood as the true spiritual food and to satisfy our thirsts with the water flowing from the spring into eternal life. Gosh, God the Father listens only to the prayers of the righteous, "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil" (1 Peter 3:12, Psalm 34:15). To state summarily here what the content of My gospel is all about, it is what comes out of the heart of man that defiles a man and not artificial nails, perms and hairs (all what goes inside of a man exits the body as waste). This is a moral lesson taught even in a secular world. It's one's spirit that is born again out of the heart and not out of the flesh. Do you grasp this? For our Holy God looks at the heart not at the outward appearance of man. To be holy means to be apart from sin and not to be impeccably immaculate. Can you grasp this? And when you and I stand at the crossroads that'll be what is most important to determine, on the one hand, a life of splendor, enjoyment and glory with the Father God who is the Master of our lives, or to be salted with fire in the abyss forever. 

I learnt of the passing away of the father of a fellow coworker of New Life Mission and a member of the Gujarati Indian community in Kenya. For that I congratulated her on his demise because her father in fact became first of all a born-again before he was called to rest. So, many congratulations on the passing away of your father. A similar event took place in Ghana with the departure of the mother of a Ghanaian born co-worker of our New Life Mission. This is the will of the Almighty God although it must have been heart-wrenching. It's recorded in Matthew 10, it states, "Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will" (Matthew 10:29). Given this, we should pay careful attention to the way we live our lives. As they mourn over the passing of these loved ones may the Lord be our strength over our weaknesses and entrust us with new tasks and God-given talents toward the accomplishment and fulfillment of our mission tasks great commission here on earth by establishing us well enough alongside the leader in His Church according to the Church of God's spiritual order, positions and authority. On this Lord's Day, today, tomorrow and forever we give our congratulations to Jesus Christ for His birth, baptism, death, the Cross and rising from the dead. To fall asleep, that is death, is inevitable to happen once for those who walk in the fullness of the Spirit as well as for those who are carnally minded walking on their lust. It is stated in Ecclesiastes 7:2, "Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And the living will take it to heart." It's essential that we look retrospectively into our lives in this living years to repent and change into following the narrow and difficult way to the everlasting Kingdom of God and not to depart from this truth of the blessed path revealed in the righteousness of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus, about two millennial ago by being baptized by John the Baptist thereby washing away all our sins for all eternity, the sins of the future, present and past, blotting them all out from our hearts and His condemnation for those sins by being hung on the accursed tree.

Let's say this prayer together and conclude today's message: "Lord, provide us the workers who'll reap abundantly during the harvest. Dear God! I believe in all these Jesus-spoken words. God! But even so carve and inscribe these words into our hearts and may we bear spiritual children, good and holy fruits. Provide an immediate resumption of the literature ministry of the Church of God to every nook and valley of the world. I ask this in Jesus' name." Amen! See you online and have a nice day ahead in Christ and may God bless you. Hallelujah!
