Order Of Compilation

In compiling the following narratives, the writings were not arranged in chronological order, because the records were from different sources.

The Law, The Prophets, And The Kingdom

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail. Luke 16:14-17

Explanations:

1. If people refuse to obey the word of God, they shall be wiped out and shall be replaced with another set of human generations, who would do what God. This has been the trend of the world, which trend majority do not know about.

The kingdom suffers violence

Fasting Is Good

A Tree Is Known By Its Fruit

"For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Matthew 6:44,45

Herod Seeks To See Jesus

Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by Him; and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead, and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen again. Herod said, "John I have beheaded, but who is this of whom I hear such things?" So he sought to see Him. Luke 9:7-9

Jesus Forbids Sectarianism

Now John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us."

But Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is on our side." Luke 9:49,50

A Samaritan Village Rejects The Saviour

Now it came to pass, when the time had come for Him to be received up, that He steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before His face. And as they went, they entered a village of the Samaritans, to prepare for Him. But they did not receive Him, because His face was set for the journey to Jerusalem. And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did?"

But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them." And they went to another village. Luke 9:51-57

Explanations:

Apostle Matthew: The incident actually happened. Even you DivineBase ministers do the same.

The Head: Yes, some ministers do so when they say bad prayers against somebody, and when they pray against various powers of darkness and wicked people in the towns and villages.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, let the children of God learn to be serious. When it comes to what shall spoil things for God, let the children of God be strict, against the defaulting people. Whatever those people want, let the children of God confront, oppose and give the same to them. But let the children of God first inquire from the Angels, so that at the end, the event shall give glory to the name of God.

Note:

1. Today, many people are rejecting Jesus, because they refuse to hear or read the end time messages and warnings from God.

2. As Jesus said to His disciples, ministers of God have been sent not to destroy men's lives but to save people.

3. This statement of fact is particularly for those ministers who engage in wicked prayers against their fellow human beings, those who curse others or plot against their fellow men.

4. It is better to bless people than to curse them, just as it is better to light a candle than to curse the people who are in darkness.

Mary And Martha Learn The Most Important Thing

Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me."

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her." Luke 10:38-42

Explanations:

Apostle Matthew: What happened that day was examination and teaching for humanity. On many occasions, the Angels in the forms of visitors visit families. It is the heart with which the family welcomes the Angels that shall determine the power of the Holy Spirit that shall be given to the family. The condition of their hearts will also determine whether the power of the Holy Spirit shall be perfect or not, and whether the power of the Holy Spirit shall be manifest or not.

On many occasions, it is not all the visitors that are ordinary human visitors. There are saint visitors, angel visitors and evil visitors. It all depends on the …

And every visitor sent by God has power of the Holy Spirit that comes with him. If the family welcomes him, and welcome all the words spoken by the visitor, the light of God shall shine and remain steadfast. But if the family do not welcome the visitor, as he is leaving, the power of the Holy Spirit leaves with him.

As evil visitor comes into a family, if the family is not under the protection of God, and the family welcomes the evil visitor, even so evil spirits and powers of darkness follow the visitor into the family. Even so the powers of destruction and devastation follow the visitor to come into the family.

When Jesus Christ visited their family, the intention of Martha was to cook a very good food. She wanted to entertain the visitors - Jesus Christ, His apostles and disciples. Her intention was very good.

But which one is more important?

The Head: It is the word of God that is most important.

It was not the food being cooked by Martha that was most important to Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ did not come into their family to eat food. He went to the family because of the word which the Holy Spirit wanted to speak, to teach humanity that the word of God is the more important than earthly foods, drinks, and other things. The things of God should have priority over the earthly needs and desires of humanity.

1. The most important thing is to hear the word of God.

2. The second most important is to do it.

3. And the third is not to allow the cares and worries of everyday life deviate you from the word of God.

Not By Beelzebub

Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw. And all the multitudes were amazed and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons."

But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can one enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. Matthew 12:22-29

Beware Of Hypocrisy

In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, "Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.”

Confess Christ Before Men

"Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

"And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

"Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."

Make Peace With Your Adversary

"Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right? When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, make every effort along the way to settle with him, lest he drag you to the judge, the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you, you shall not depart from there till you have paid the very last mite."

Leaving All To Follow Christ

Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it — lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Many Are Scattering

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Matthew 12:30

Explanations:

1. Today, the ministers of God are doing things contrary to what God said.

2. Jesus prayed for one flock and one shepherd, but the minister are diversifying and multiplying the number of churches, ministries and fellowship. Every one of the wants to be a head of founder, without doing what Jesus said.

3. Every one of them wants to be a head or founder, without doing what Jesus said.

4. They are not gathering God’s people.

5. Instead, the religious leaders are scattering the flock.

6. They are not directing their numerous members to the end time holy land, Abagana, the city of the rising sun, where God Almighty is the Rising Sun that Never Sets.

7. The religious leaders are more interested in lording it over others than in doing what God says. Thereby, they make themselves hypocrites, who pretend to serve their master, but are busy serving themselves and filling their pockets with stolen money and ill-gotten wealth.

8. Every church wants to be the greatest, when already the greatest religion is Truth.

9. Every church claims to be the best, when the best is the Holy Spirit.

10. The pastors and reverend fathers are busy preaching prosperity, whereas Jesus said they should first seek the kingdom of heaven.

11. Religious organizations are busy holding adorations, turnarounds, novenas, Shiloh, congresses, synods and conferences, without keeping the Lord’s Sabbath and without observing the seven annual festivals of God.

12. They are busy worshipping on Sunday, after Jesus told them that He is the Lord of Sabbath.

13. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Jesus Warns Of Offenses

Then He said to the disciples, "It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you shall forgive him."

Faith And Duty

And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith."

So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come at once and sit down to eat'? But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.'"

Jesus' Authority Questioned

Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him and spoke to Him, saying, "Tell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?"

But He answered and said to them, "I also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: The baptism of John — was it from heaven or from men?"

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet." So they answered that they did not know where it was from.

And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."

Beware Of Reasons And Excuses

And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: "The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."' But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests. Matthew 22:1-10

Explanations:

1. Beware of reasons and excuses in this end time.

2. All the arguments, debates, reasons and excuses given by humanity are irrelevant excuses in heaven.

3. The following statement refers to End Time Sweeping Operations - But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

4. People do not heed the end time messages and warnings from God. That is why the Warrior Angels with merciless swords are now removing people off the face of the earth.

Repentance Is Better Than Self-Righteousness

"But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go, work today in my vineyard.' He answered and said, 'I will not,' but afterward he regretted it and went. Then he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, 'I go, sir,' but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?"

They said to Him, "The first."

Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him; but tax collectors and harlots believed him; and when you saw it, you did not afterward relent and believe him. Matthew 21:28-33

Explanations:

1. Many people count on their self-righteousness to enter the kingdom of heaven. Such people are deceiving themselves, because entrance into the kingdom is free gift form God to humanity.

2. Only those who accept the salvation get it.

3. Today, so many churches are busy claiming to be the first, and they refuse to hear and obey the end time messages and warnings from God.

4. Many are busy giving all kinds of reasons and excuses on why they would not comply with what God said, which reasons and excuses God consider as “irrelevant excuses”.

Spiritual Dimension Is Different

So they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords."

And He said to them, "It is enough." Luke 22: 38

Explanations:

Jesus said the two swords were enough, because the disciples could not understand that the work of salvation was indeed a spiritual battle, which is not fought with swords and spears. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12-13

The two swords were not necessary, but were enough to dowse the tensions, worries and expectations in the disciples.

Jesus Buried In Joseph's Tomb

Now behold, there was a man named Joseph, a council member, a good and just man. He had not consented to their decision and deed. He was from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before. That day was the Preparation, and the Sabbath drew near.

And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and they observed the tomb and how His body was laid. Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
