Disciples’ Contention
For Supremacy
And The Parable Of The
Good Shepherd
By
The
Twelve Apostles
The Disciples Contend For The
Supremacy
Now
Jesus heard the twelve dispute among themselves. The spirit of the carnal self was
moving in their hearts, and they were questioning among themselves who was the
greatest in the sight of God and man. And
Jesus said, “You men, for shame! The greatest is the servant of the rest. “
And
then He called to Himself a little child. He took it in His arms and said, “The
greatest is the little child, and if you would be great at all, you must become
as is this child in innocence, in truth, in purity in life. Great men scorn not
the little things of earth. He who regards and honours such a child, regards
and honours me; and he who scorns a child, scorns me. If you would enter through the gate of the kingdom, you must be
humble as this little child.
“Hear
me, you men: this child, as every other child, has one to plead its cause
before the throne of God. You
scorn it at your peril, men, for behold, I say, its counterpart beholds the
face of God at every moment, every day.
And hear me once again, He who shall cause a little one to stumble and
to fall is marked, accursed. And it were better far if he had drowned himself.
“Behold, offences everywhere!
Men find occasions for to sin and fall, and they grow strong by rising when
they fall. But woe to him who
causes other men to stumble and to fall.
Be on your guard, you men of God, lest you make another man to fall.
Beware lest you fall into sinful ways yourselves.
“Now,
if your hands cause you to sin, you better cut them off. For it is far better
to have no hands and not be guilty in the sight of God and men, than to be
perfect in your form and lose your soul. And if your feet should cause offence,
you better cut them off. For it is far better to enter into life without your
feet than fall beneath the curse. And
if your eyes or ears, cause you to sin, you better lose them all than lose your
soul to hell fire.
“Your thoughts, words and deeds
will all be tried by fire. Remember
that you are the salt of earth. But if you lose the virtues of the salt, you
are but refuse in the sight of God. Retain
the virtues of the salt of life and be at peace among yourselves. The world is full of men who have not
in themselves the salt of life, and they are lost. I come to seek and save the
lost.”
The Parable Of
The Good Shepherd
Speaking further, Jesus said, “What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them
has gone astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine, and go out in the desert
ways and mountain tops to seek for the one that went astray? Yes, this you
know. And if he finds the one that went astray, behold, he is glad, and he
rejoices over it far more than over all the ninety-nine that did not go astray. And so there is rejoicing in the
human courts of heaven when one human being, who has gone forth into the ways
of sin, is found and brought back to the fold. Yes, there is joy, more joy than over all the righteous men who
never went astray.”
God Does Not Have Favourites
And John said, “Master, who may seek and save the lost? And who may heal the
sick, and cast the demons out of those obsessed? When we were on the way, we
saw a man who was not one of us cast demons out and heal the sick. He did it by the sacred Word and in
the name of Christ. But we forbade him, for he was not among us. And Jesus said, “You sons of men, do
you imagine that you own the powers of God?
And do you think that all the world must wait for you to do the works of God?
God is not man that He should have a special care for any man, and give Him
special gifts. Forbid not any
man to do the works of God. There
is no man who can pronounce the sacred Word, and in the name of Christ restore
the sick, and cast the unclean spirits out, who is not a child of God. The man of whom you speak is one with
us. Whoever gathers in the grain of heaven is one with us. Whoever gives a cup of water in the
name of Christ is one with us. So God shall judge.”
The Greatest
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, this is explaining about the shepherd. Son of man, tell the religious leaders, ministers of God and all shepherds, let them read this portion and start doing it. Let them pray and do quiet time and meditation, while they read it. There is a power of the Holy Spirit which God put in this portion. All the leaders, who join Jesus Christ, in gathering, truly, truly and truly, physically they are working, but spiritually, they are scattering and disorganizing.
Son of man, how many of them are gathering?
How many?
How many of them?
The Head: There is none, because every minister of God is doing his own personal will. That is why their names, prayers, worship, teachings and practices, are different, in diverse forms.
Failure Of The Ministers
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what did the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, tell them?
About who shall be the greatest in their midst?
The Head: He said that the greatest shall be their servant.
Apostle Matthew: That is number 1.
When He brought one child in their midst, what did Jesus Christ said to them?
The Head: They have to be like little children.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, number 3 is obedience, obedience and humility.
Son of man, yourselves have to answer us this question.
How many ministers of God are doing so, in the various churches, ministries and fellowships?
The Head: None. Every religious leader, every minister of God, is doing his own will. Nobody wants to listen to the Holy Spirit.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered very well, because that is what is happening. That is why ourselves said, let them read the above portion and do so, because as they read it, the Holy Spirit is entering their body. The Holy Spirit will tell them diverse things. Son of man, the Holy Spirit will speak various words to them, cleanse their hearts, cleanse their spirit and brain, and give them power to understand the word of God and join those who are doing it, and also be among those who teach it. If we are to score them, the best among them can score only 5%.
Son of man, are they doing very well?
The Head: No. They are not doing good works. They are not even making the right efforts.
Apostle Matthew: Ourselves shall start from now to look at them, to examine them, the children of covenant all over the world. Son of man, the only people we are giving second chance.
Son of man, T B Joshua, Pastor Chris of Christ Embassy, even Sabbatharians, and all these religious leaders and ministers of God, we are no longer interested in them, and we no longer have time for them. Ourselves are not giving the religious leaders and ministers of God second chance.
We take no chances – we do not allow for any loophole or misconducts.
The Head: It shows that many people in the governments and leaderships, many police and army, do things by violence.
Apostle Matthew: They fail in many laws, fail in many laws of the spirit.
