The Request Of The Mother

Of

James And John

The Christians Begin Their Journey To Jerusalem

Then Jesus and His mother, and the twelve, and Miriam and Mary, mother of the two disciples, James and John, and many other loyal souls who loved the Christ, went to Jerusalem, that they might celebrate the Lord’s feast. And as they journeyed on their way they came to Enon Springs, near Salim where the harbinger once taught.

The Request Of The Mother Of James And John
And as they rested by the fountain, Mary, wife of Zebedee, and mother of the two disciples, James and John, came to the Master and said, “My Lord, I know the kingdom is about to come, and I would ask this blessing and advantage: Command that these my sons shall sit with you upon the throne, the one upon the right, the other on the left.”
And Jesus said to her, “You know not what you ask.”

And then he turned to James and John and said, “Are you prepared and are you strong enough to drink the cup that I will drink?”
They said, “Yes, master, we are strong enough to follow where you go.”
Then Jesus said, “You shall indeed drink of my cup; but I am not the judge of who will sit upon my right or my left. The men who live the life and keep the faith will sit upon the throne of power.”

Now, when the Apostles heard the pleadings of the mother for her sons, and knew that James and John were seeking special favours from the Lord, they were indignant and they said, “We surely thought that James and John had risen above the selfish self. Who can we trust among the sons of men?”

And Jesus called the ten apart and said to them, “How hard for men to comprehend the nature of the kingdom of the soul!
These two disciples do not seem to know that rulership in heaven is not akin to rulership on earth.

“In all the kingdoms of the world, the men of power, they who exalt themselves, show their authority, and rule with iron rule. But you must know that they who rule the sons of light are they who seek no earthly power, but give their lives in willing sacrifice for men. Whoever would be great must be the minister of all. The highest seat in heaven is at the feet of him who is the lowest man of earth.

“I had a glory with our Father-God before the worlds were made, and still I come to serve the race of men; to be the minister of men; to give my life for men.”
And then the Christians journeyed on and came unto Jerusalem.

Mother Of James And John Pleases God

1. Many have being called to do the work of God, but they refused to do so.

2. Many others who readily and willing accepted to do God’s work or have started doing so, have being prevented by their parents, children, relations , husbands or wives.

3. It is the duty of the parents to encourage their children who have call to do God’s work, to encourage the children to do the work.

4. Even so the husbands should encourage their wives who are ministers, and the wives encourage their minister husbands.

5. And even support them, by providing them with essentials for God’s work. Such essentials include money, foods, accommodation, land, or other necessary materials.

6. But many Christians, many people, are hypocrites. Inside the temple of God, they declare to serve and worship God. They are ready anointing doves quick to tell you, “Let God’s will be done.”

7. But they go behind to discourage their children or relations from doing God’s work.

8. All the people, who fail to do their work, who fail to answer their call, are guilty before the throne of God, and many of them end up inside the hell fire.

9. Such people shall reincarnate in future, if they still have more opportunity to come back to the earth, to the work of God, which is compulsory.

10. Any person, who fails to do and complete his earthly assignment does not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

11. And if you love your wife, husband, children or relations, the best thing you can do for them, is to encourage and support the person to do God’s work, if they have the call.

12. What shall profit your husband, wife, children or relation, if he makes money, accumulates wealth and enjoys all the riches in the world, but eventually is cast into the darkness of the hell fire, where he will be tormented by heartless, merciless and relentless evil spirits and demons?

What Determines Who Sits On The Right Or Left Hand Of God

1. Division of labour. In heaven and on earth, everybody has being destined to perform various roles. Therefore, the persons who stand before the Lord, or sit on his right or left hand, are the people whose services are needed.

2. Merit. You cannot sit on the right or left hand, simply because you want to do so. The person on the right hand today, may need to be on the left hand side tomorrow. In heaven and on earth, every position and reward is by merit. A person cannot occupy a position simply because he wants to do so. You have to first make all the necessary efforts, even so successfully, readily and willingly, and with purity of heart, and joyfulness and gladness of heart. Whoever that wants to stay on the right or left hand side should make the necessary efforts.

3. Necessity. As works and occasions change, in the presence of God, even so the positions change from time to time. Just like in an occasion, where various groups and performers take turn, to mount the stage and entertain the gatherings.

4. God’s master plan. God has a master plan which He follows, and which must not be disrupted by the various desires, plans and actions of humanity. Our prayers are not usually answered when they contradict God’s plan for our future wellbeing.

5. Destiny. The destinies of the righteous have been determined in heaven, and those of the sinners in hell fire.

6. Service. “In serving others is your success and prosperity,” says the Almighty.

Only By Merit

The Head: Sometimes, the position of Jesus Christ changes. He may speak as an ordinary man, as the FirstSon of God, as a saint. When you ask a question, the answer you get is also determined by his spiritual vibration at that time.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, in the present time, in whose hands are all the judgements?

It is in the hands of the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, who has the final power and authority.

The Head: But it is up to every set of parents, all families, to join in the work of God, either as a call or in supper. Even so as the mother of James and Jesus took her sons to Jesus Christ, and desired that they sit on the right and left hand side. Even so everybody, has to strive in doing the work of God. Right from the past, many have avoided their destined works here on earth.

As the work of God is progressing, as people participate or avoid their works, even so positions are being given to those who merit it. Even so various thrones are being given.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, humanity do not know that it is not easy for them to see or meet Jesus Christ, when they come up to heaven, because they do not merit it, and because Angels are on the way. Merciless Angels are on the way as security. The only people that can come to Jesus Christ are the people, who have made efforts.

Glory With The Father

“I had a glory with our Father-God before the worlds were made …”

Jesus Christ and God are one and the same. That is why Jesus Christ said, “The Father and I are one.” It was God Almighty that came to the world, in the person of Jesus Christ. The same God Almighty is the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the FirstSon and God the Holy Spirit.
