MESSAGE TO PREACHERS AND TEACHERS OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS.

-

Beloved, whoever you were called to be, be it priest, pastor, evangelist, bishop etc, do not be annoyed when you preach the gospel and no one pays attention to you. It is very wrong to be angry or condemn people you preach to, simply because they didn't understand or show interest or even pay attention to the word God has annoited you to speak for the good of men and their salvation. You cannot be annoyed on God's behalf. God's anger is enough, yours doesn't count as a preacher or a teacher. The assignment is to speak the word and leave the rest to God, who is the rightful judge. 
When Apostle Paul was writing to the Thessalonians (1 Thess 5:14) he wrote,

....."We urge you, our brothers and sisters, to warn the idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone".

Beloved, the part of Paul's message that I wish to point out is the part where he said, "be patient with them ".
Beloved, that no one listens to you when you preach the gospel, should not make you feel like it was not God that sent you.

If you are familiar with the 'Parable of the sower'', in Matt 13: 1-9 and where Jesus explained it in Matt 13: 18-23, you will realize why you shouldn't be angry on God's behalf, when people refuse to repent through the gospel you preach.

Pray for them and be patient with them like Apostle Paul adviced. Remember you were once a sinner for years and God was patient with you. If God's anger didn't take away your life when you were a sinner, why then should it be now that you want God's anger to pounce on those who refuse to pay attention to the gospel that you preach. Beloved, if God's anger should start pouncing on these sinners that you preach to today, it should have started from you? Because you were once a sinner......  Remember, God was patient with you until you became the preacher that you are today by 'His' grace.
Beloved, this message is strictly for preachers and teachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ and not to encourage sinners in any way or give them the impression why they should continue in sin, with the idea that God is so patient. This message is a reminder for preachers and teachers of the gospel, to be aware of the importance of being patient with sinners while they embark on their divine call to evangelise.

CAN GOD EVER FORGIVE ME AGAIN?

Have you done something that you think is unforgivable? Beloved, cry no more because God has not condemned you yet. The only group of persons that has been judged by God is satan and his fellow fallen angels. Be reminded that satan is the one that keeps refreshing your past sins in your mind, to make you feel condemned like him, when God has not yet passed judgement on you or condemned you for your sins. Beloved, if you have made huge errors or committed shameful sins in the past, such that you feel and think they can never be forgiven by God, then this message is for you.  This message is designed to seperate you from those satanic voices that keeps whispering into your mind, saying ' GOD CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU AGAIN '. Beloved, you have to know that the aim of these satanic voices is to keep refreshing in your minds, memories of your past sins or mistakes, to make you live with guilt and condemnation for the rest of your life. Do not forget, satan has been judged a

Bibery and corruption is a global issue and it seems to have been institutionalized in many organizations all over the world. In recent times, political leaders, national security agencies and tax collectors of nations are the most accused in connection with bribery and corruption. This has made the society to take their eyes off other individuals, organisations who secretly indulge in bribery and corruption. Bribery and corruption has been in practice for more than two thousand (2000 BD) years ago before the death of Christ. This is true because the book of 1Samuel 8:1-3 reported that the two sons of Samuel, Joel and Abiah who were both judges, accepted bribe and perverted justice. 1Samuel 8:1-3 " And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his fristborn was Joel; and the name of second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after after lucre, and took bribes and perver
