Chapter 1
The New Commandment
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the
Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in
Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. 33
Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me;
and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you cannot come,' so now I say to
you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have
loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you
are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:31-35
Explanations:
Chapter 2
Jesus Predicts Peter's Denial
Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You
going?"
Jesus answered him, "Where I am going you cannot
follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward."
37 Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow
You now? I will lay down my life for Your sake."
38 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your
life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till
you have denied Me three times. John 13:36-38
Explanations:
1. In your daily prayers, whenever you recite Our Lord’s
Prayer, do say, “Do not allow us to fall into temptation,” for the Lord does
not tempt anyone.
2. And do not boast of what you can do, for nothing is
possible without God.
3. And do not be quick to make promises because you do
not have perfect control over the future.
4. In whatever situation you find yourself, pray for the
Holy Spirit to lead you aright.
Chapter 3
The Way, The Truth, And The Life
"Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in
God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were
not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that
where I am, there you may be also. John 14:1-3
Explanations:
1.
In heaven,
everybody has his own mansion.
2.
The state,
condition, level or value of your mansion is determined by the following.
3.
Selfless services
you rendered to people.
4.
How often you
participate in true worship of God, by keeping the Sabbath, which God ordained
on the Seventh Day after creation, and which Sabbath Jesus attended in Mathew,
Mark, Luke and John.
5.
How regularly you
participate in rendering services in the temple and house of God, by sweeping,
by fetching water, by packing and setting chairs etc.
6.
How much support
you give to God’s work, which support may be finance, services, connection,
advice, suggestion, skill and so on.
7.
How regularly you
pay your tithes of money, tithes of land, tithes of food crops, tithes of
gifts, tithes of properties, tithes of possessions and tithes of earnings.
8.
And I add that in
the kingdom of heaven, there is more than enough for everyone.
Chapter 4
Spirit Is The Way, The Truth And The Life
4 And where I go you know, and the way you know."
5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how
can we know the way?"
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:1-6
Explanations:
1.
Jesus is the way,
the truth and the life, because Jesus is spirit.
2.
You know these
facts and more by observing quiet times and meditation.
Chapter 5
The Father Revealed
"If you had known Me, you would have known My
Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him."
8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father,
and it is sufficient for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so
long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the
Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Do you not believe that I
am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not
speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for
the sake of the works themselves. John 14:7-11
Explanations:
1.
People fail to
recognize God in His simplicity and naturalness. They expect to see a
frightening being sitting in an awesome throne.
2.
Jesus made it
clear that He is the manifest God.
3.
People should
believe the Truth, because only Jesus did what God can do, just as everything
is known by its name, form, nature and works.
4.
God appears in a
very simple form, in the midst of creation, just as a very rich man does not
carry all his money and wealth while on visit to his estate. He takes only what
is necessary.
5.
The Father and
the Son are one (God and Jesus), because it is God Almighty that came to the
world in the person of Jesus Christ.
6.
The same God
Almighty is the Holy Spirit. Hence, Trinity is both true and working.
7.
The word Trinity
means one person in triple forms.
8.
In verse 7 above,
Jesus made it clear that He is God Almighty, present and manifest in the midst
of humanity.
Chapter 6
The Answered Prayer
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in
Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will
do, because I go to My Father. John 14:12
Explanations:
1.
Even in the end,
there is still much to hear, to learn and to do.
2.
All those called
for God’s work should open their hearts and welcome the Holy Spirit that has
being waiting to use them in very great and wonderful ways.
3.
They shall be
able to do their works, in righteousness and holiness by abiding in the Sabbath
way as Jesus did.
4.
So many ministers
of God are not recognized in heaven because they have abandoned the Sabbath,
which God established as an Everlasting Covenant and as a sign between God and
His people.
Chapter 7
Ask And You Shall Receive
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I
will do it. John 14:13,14
Explanations:
5.
The expression
‘anything you ask’ does not include evil or disobedience.
6.
And it does not
allow any person to make requests or petitions that are against the laws, times
and word of God.
7.
God answers
prayers.
8.
By God is meant
God Almighty, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit or Angels of God.
9.
When you ask in
the name of Jesus, your prayer is the same as presented before God by Jesus.
10.
Whatever Jesus receives
a petition or prayer point, He sends it to the throne of God, saying, “Father,
you will be done”.
11.
The privilege to
ask in the name of Jesus does not mean every prayer shall be answered,
especially if the prayer point is wrong, unnecessary or contrary to the will of
God.
Chapter 8
Jesus Promises Another Helper
"If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I
will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide
with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with
you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
John 14:15-18
Explanations:
1.
Here is the sign
by which you shall know the true Christians.
2.
One they keep the
original Ten Commandments of God, as in Exodus 20.
3.
Two, they observe
the seven annual festivals of God, as written in Leviticus 23, and which
festivals Jesus attended.
4.
Three, they are
filled and led by the Holy Spirit, because they keep the above tow conditions.
5.
that is why Jesus
said,
"If you love Me, keep My
commandments. 16 And I will pray the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever
— 17 the Spirit of truth,…” John 14:15-17
6.
Evidence that the Holy Spirit, the spirit of
Truth, is not in the churches, ministries and fellowship, is that falsehood
abounds in the midst of humanity. In the forms of lies, fabrications,
deceptions, forgery, diplomacy, lobbying cheating, haggling, crisis and immorality.
7.
Christianity lost
the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Truth, when Emperor Constantine, a pagan roman
army general, took over the leadership of the church.
8.
Up till now,
people have not understood that the beast in the end time prophecies means
kingdom and horn means a king. The same Roman Empire is not called Roman
Catholic Church, and now Catholic Church. Check their sign boards.
9.
Today, God has
sent down Warrior Angels with merciless swords, to wipe off humanity, because
people do not obey the original Ten Commandments or the seven annual festivals
of God.
Chapter 9
Indwelling Of The Father And The Son
"A little while longer and the world will see Me
no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day
you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who
has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me
will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to
him."
22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how
is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?"
23 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone
loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come
to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My
words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
John 14:19-24
Explanations:
1.
People hate to
hear the Truth.
2.
They refuse to
repent, though they claim to be Christians, born agains or believers.
3.
Everyday, people
disobey the word of God, without remorse, without restraint and without
repentance.
4.
The worst thing
is that they do not know that they are working against God.
Chapter 10
The Gift Of His Peace
"These things I have spoken to you while being
present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all
things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid. 28 You have heard Me say to you, 'I am going away and
coming back to you.' If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, 'I am
going to the Father,' for My Father is greater than I.
29 "And now I have told you before it comes, that
when it does come to pass, you may believe. 30 I will no longer talk much with
you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. 31 But
that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me
commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here. John 14:25-31
Explanations:
1.
Jesus is the
Truth.
2.
The Holy Spirit
is the comforter.
3.
The same Holy
Spirit is the counsellor.
4.
The Holy Spirit
relieves the children of God of their burden, cares and worries of everyday
life.
Chapter 99
The True Vine
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the
vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. John
15:1,2
Explanations:
You bear more fruits by:
1.
Studying
spiritual science and practising it.
2.
Doing your divine
work as God wants, and not as man-made churches demand.
3.
Learning the
Truth and abiding in it.
4.
Keeping the
original Ten Commandments of God as in Exodus 20, and not the man-made ten
commandments forged by your fellow human beings.
5.
Observing the
seven annual festivals of God as written in Leviticus 23, which festivals Jesus
attended.
6.
Rendering
selfless services to God and humanity, without expecting rewards, thanks,
praises, force or persuasion.
7.
Spreading the end
time messages and warnings from God.
8.
Wining souls for
God.
9.
Teaching the true
way of worship, as Exodus 20:8-11.
Chapter 11
The Word Of God Purifies
3 You are already clean because of the word which I
have spoken to you. John 15:3
Explanations:
1.
The word of God
delivers people from the bondage of Devil and sin.
2.
It purifies the
children of God.
3.
And it makes the hearers
holy, especially when they abide in it by keeping.
4.
By the word of
God people learn the Truth which sets them free.
Chapter 12
Abide In Me
4 Abide in Me,
and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in
the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who
abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do
nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is
withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are
burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you
desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that
you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
9 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you;
abide in My love. John 15:4-9
Explanations:
People should abide in the
teachings of Jesus Christ, by practising and teachings the explanations and
correction that He gave.
Chapter 13
Love And Joy Perfected
10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My
love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
11 "These things I have spoken to you, that My
joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:10,11
Explanations:
1.
By saying all
these, Jesus made it clear that He neither changed nor abolished the laws and
the prophets.
2.
He made it clear
that Himself kept God’s commandments, saying, “… as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.”.
3.
The joy of the
Lord is your strength if you remain in the true way of worship, the Lord’s
Sabbath, as was ordained by God, as was commanded humanity through Moses and as
was observed by Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
4.
Chapter 14
The Same Old Commandments
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another
as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down
one's life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command
you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his
master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard
from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose
you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit
should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17
These things I command you, that you love one another. John 15:12-17
Explanations:
1.
Make sure
whatever you do is out of love for your fellow human beings.
2.
Without love, all
services, ministrations and works are valueless, null and void.
Chapter 15
Hatred
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated
Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its
own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you. John 15:18-19
1.
The world hate
Jesus Christ.
2.
They hate His
corrections.
3.
Because of the
same hatred, the world have refused to keep the Sabbath, after Jesus told the
world that He is the Lord of Sabbath.
4.
The same hatred
makes people to reject the end time messages and warnings from God.
5.
The real problem now is that people have forgotten what
Jesus said. That is why people do not heed the end time messages and warnings.
None is wise enough to take corrections. People hate to hear the Truth. No one
devotes time to think. Nobody wants to do the right thing by investigating.
6.
That is also the reason why God complains, saying,
“Instead of people taking corrections and doing the right set of things, they
are busy giving me all kinds of reasons and excuses, which are irrelevant
excuses. Simple obedience is all that is required from them, but they are not
ready and willing to comply. Each person is busy giving me uncountable reasons,
unacceptable reasons, all of which are irrelevant excuses."
7.
Today, the world have rejected the original Ten
Commandments and the seven annual festivals of God. Instead, they are
practising pagan festivals (Saturnalia and goddes), which have been baptized
with Christian names (Christmas and Easter).
8.
And the religious leaders, who supposed to teach and
guide, are the very ones misleading the ignorant multitudes.
Therefore the following words
of Jesus still applies today: “Remember
the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.' If
they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they
will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name's
sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken
to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23
He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works
which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also
hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be
fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.' John
15:20-25
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you
from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will
testify of Me. 27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me
from the beginning. John 15:26-27
Chapter 16
Jesus Warns And Comforts His Disciples
"These things I have spoken to you, that you
should not be made to stumble. 2 They will put you out of the synagogues; yes,
the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God
service. 3 And these things they will do to you because they have not known the
Father nor Me. 4 But these things I have told you, that when the time comes,
you may remember that I told you of them.
"And these things I did not say to you at the
beginning, because I was with you. John 16:1-4
Explanations:
1. People troop to the churches, ministries and
fellowship for what God would do for them, when they supposed to be asking for
mercy and abiding in keeping the covenant. They are looking for miracles, signs
and wonders, and the Devil is using these things to deceive so many souls, both
ministers and members, into the hellfire.
2. People do not want to know the truth.
3. They do not want to keep God’s laws and commandments.
4. They do not want to know what God wants from them.
5. They do not want to study Spiritual Science, to be able
to grow in spirit and in truth.
6. Among the worst set are those who like to receive
blessings and answers to their prayers, without contributing anything to God’s
ministry.
7. Double blessed are those who dine and wine, who eat
and drink, in the house of God, for they partake of both earthly and heavenly
life.
Chapter 17
The Work Of The Holy Spirit
"But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none
of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?' 6 But because I have said these things
to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It
is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will
not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has
come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go
to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this
world is judged.
12 "I still have many things to say to you, but
you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come,
He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority,
but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He
will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All
things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine
and declare it to you. John 16:5-15
Explanations:
1.
There is still so
many things to learn, to hear and to do.
2.
But, majority are
spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.
3. Even so the religious leaders.
Introduction
Truth supposes to be the most
precious thing. As such, people suppose to seek God and delight in His ways.
Unfortunately, Truth is the very thing worst hated by humanity, and they
trample on it everyday of their lives. After they have done everything possible
to crush Truth, people turn round to say that they are born again, religious,
Christians or Godly. And they deceive themselves all the more by claiming their
various religious to be the best. Indeed, many are ignorant, blind and lazy
hypocrites.
Why Many Are Blind
Many are blind because they
neither understand the things of spirit, nor believe those who explain
spiritual realities.
Why Many Are Lazy
Many are lazy because of the
following reasons:
1.
Every religion or
church regards their holy book as the best and final book written about God and
life. Each fails to understand that their holy book is only an introduction.
2.
People are lazy
because they are not seeking for the truth, to find it and to know it. They
deceive themselves by making themselves ordinary members of their respective
churches, where as they were asked to seek for the Truth and to continue to
seek until they find it.
3.
Almost the entire
humanity have not read the three hundred and sixty-six (366) books written by
Enoch after seeing God face to face, after his visit to the heavenly kingdoms.
Even religious leaders do not know that such books were written, and no efforts
are being made to find, publish and distribute the books. Of all that Enoch
wrote, the only thing in the Bible is the statement “Enoch walked with God, and
God took him”. When did one sentence start to represent 366 books?
4.
After seeing God
face to face, more than forty (40) times, I have written over seven hundred
(700) books and topics. The writings include narrations, descriptions,
corrections, teachings and prophecies. The religious leaders in the world have
not yet read these books. Yet, they are bold enough to stand before the public
and misinterpret the spiritual statements in the holy books. Other books that
people have not yet read include the following:
5.
The Book Of
Abraham.
6.
The Book Of
Isaac.
7.
The Book Of
Jacob.
8.
The Twelve (12)
Books By The Twelve (12) Sons Of Jacob: Great lessons meant to guide humanity.
9.
The Book Of Job:
You suppose to learn the unknown details.
10.
Kebrah Nagast:
Details of how the Ark of Covenant was transferred to Ethopia.
11.
Book Of Jubilees:
Details of creation, revelations and end time warnings.
12.
Book Of Jasher:
The great and wonderful exploits of the men of God.
13.
The Book Of
Melchizedek: The unknown details and teachings.
14.
The Gospel Of
Thomas: A great book of spiritual knowledge and wisdom.
15.
The Aquarian
Gospel Of Jesus Christ: The detailed records of His life covering the time from
His twelve (12) years of age to thirty (30) years. This book has over one
hundred and seventy (170) Chapters. It also covers how Jesus
went to Persia, India, Tibet, Greece, Egypt, etc.
16.
The Shepherd Of
Hermas: Everybody still has many things to learn, to hear and to do.
17.
The Lost Books Of
The Bible: What do religious leaders gain by leading ignorant masses? Surely
nothing. And what do they gain by hiding important books from the public?
18.
The Forgotten
Books Of Eden.
19.
About 20 books on
spirituality: Most of the religious leaders are spiritually ignorant because
they have not read very important and juicy books. And the public does not know
this fact.
20.
The Bible you
carry about is not up to 10% of the original Bible sent down to the world by
God. “The Bible is incomplete,” says the Almighty. How come that many churches
claim to be the best when they have not even started doing what they were
commanded to study and to do?
21.
Individuals,
groups or churches have not conducted research to confirm their beliefs,
teachings and practices. This alone is a sign of spiritual blindness, laziness
and deception.
22.
Why is that
religious leaders are not zealously publishing and distributing the end time
messages and warnings from God? They are more interested in prosperity while
souls are perishing into the hell fire? Are they not deceiving themselves and
misleading the ignorant masses into the hell fire?
The Great
Disappointments
Many are deceiving themselves
with the following attitudes:
1.
Everybody feels
that he is qualified to enter heaven, without knowing that he is not qualified.
People are not qualified because they are not making the right efforts.
2.
Instead of
teaching the church members what is written in God’s books, which are numerous,
the religious leaders hold people captives and prevent them from seeking,
finding and knowing the Truth.
3.
Finally, they
hold people captives by telling them that their church is the best, when indeed
their church is among the worst.
Be Warned!
Your everlasting fate
(Salvation or Doom) is not something to play with. Such an important matter
should not be carelessly entrusted into the hands of ignorant religious
leaders. You should study Spiritual Science to know the Truth, because only
Truth, not religion or church, can set you free.
Explanations:
Chapter 18
Sorrow Will Turn To Joy
"A little while, and you will not see Me; and
again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father."
17 Then some of His disciples said among themselves,
"What is this that He says to us, 'A little while, and you will not see
Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the
Father'?" 18 They said therefore, "What is this that He says, 'A little
while'? We do not know what He is saying."
19 Now Jesus knew that they desired to ask Him, and He
said to them, "Are you inquiring among yourselves about what I said, 'A
little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will
see Me'? 20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the
world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned
into joy. 21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has
come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers
the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world. 22
Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will
rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
23 "And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most
assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give
you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive,
that your joy may be full. John 16:16-24
Explanations:
1.
A little while
means during and after His death, and before His second coming.
2.
Physically, Jesus
seems to be is no longer present.
3.
But, spiritually,
no one is ever alone.
4.
Like a woman in
labour, humanity have to pass through trials and tribulations, for their own spiritual
growth, experience and maturity.
Chapter 19
Jesus Christ Has Overcome the World
"These things I have spoken to you in figurative
language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in
figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. 26 In that
day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the
Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me,
and have believed that I came forth from God. 28 I came forth from the Father
and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the
Father."
29 His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are
speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! 30 Now we are sure that You
know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we
believe that You came forth from God."
31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? 32
Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each
to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father
is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have
peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have
overcome the world." John 16:25-17:1
Explanations:
1.
You overcome the
world by keeping the original Ten Commandments of God and by observing His
seven annual festivals, as written in Exodus 20.
2.
By selflessness,
in serving God and humanity, without expectation.
3.
By devotion,
through quiet times and meditation,
Chapter 20
Jesus Prays for Himself
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven,
and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also
may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He
should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is
eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom
You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work
which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with
Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was. John 17:1-5
Explanations:
1.
Before His coming
to the world, Jesus was God Almighty, the same and one with God Almighty, for
it pleased God to make Himself three, the holy trinity.
2.
The Holy Trinity
is God the Almighty Father, God the Almighty Love (Jesus Christ) and God the
Almighty Presence (the Holy Spirit).
3.
It is the same
God in triple forms, just as water has the trinity of being solid (ice block), liquid
(ordinary water) and gas (water vapour).
4.
For Jesus to down
to the earth, He underwent transformation into a lower being.
5.
And at the end of
His work, He was restored to His original position and authority.
Chapter 21
Jesus Prays For His Disciples
"I have manifested Your name to the men whom You
have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they
have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given
Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me;
and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You;
and they have believed that You sent Me.
9 "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world
but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are
Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in
the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep
through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You
gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that
the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I
speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I
have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of
the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take
them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They
are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your
truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent
them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also
may be sanctified by the truth. John 17:6-19
Explanations:
1.
Everybody shall
give account of the work assigned to him.
2.
The prayers of
Jesus showed how Saints should depart from the midst of the people of God.
3.
Jesus was busy
mentioning future problems, providing solutions and praying for the unity of
faith.
Chapter 22
Jesus Prays for All Believers
"I do not pray for these alone, but also for
those who will believe in Me through their word; 21 that they all may be one,
as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that
the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I
have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You
in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that
You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
24 "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave
Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have
given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous
Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known
that You sent Me. 26 And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare
it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
John 17:20-26
Explanations:
1.
What God wants
from humanity is not the multiplicity of religions and diversities of churches.
2.
God wants simple
obedience.
3.
All ministers of God
should return to the Everlasting Covenant of God, from which they have
deviated, because God does not change.
4.
God wants unity,
and not divisions.
Chapter 23
Before The High Priest
Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the
officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound Him. 13 And they led Him away to
Annas first, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was high priest that
year. 14 Now it was Caiaphas who advised the Jews that it was expedient that
one man should die for the people. John 18:12-14
Explanations:
1.
So many soldiers,
police officers and security men have landed themselves inside the hell fire,
because they maltreated the Saints of God or persecuted innocent people.
2.
The fact that a
person is an army officer, police official or security personnel is never an
excuse for him to start molesting people.
3.
Every person in
authority must make sure that he does his work, without attracting curse,
condemnation or hell fire for himself.
4.
In every
situation, remember that God is the Judge of all.
Chapter 24
Jesus Questioned By The High Priest
The high priest then asked Jesus about His disciples
and His doctrine.
20 Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the
world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet,
and in secret I have said nothing. 21 Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have
heard Me what I said to them. Indeed they know what I said."
22 And when He had said these things, one of the
officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do
You answer the high priest like that?"
23 Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken evil,
bear witness of the evil; but if well, why do you strike Me?"
24 Then Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the high
priest. John 18:19-24
Explanations:
1.
During the time
of Jesus, two persons were high priests, just like the modern day situation
where so many people are high priests.
2.
The fact is that
the church of God has only one high priest at a time. Not two or more.
3.
Several high
priests or heads means that the religious leaders are creating numerous
religions and diverse churches, ministries and fellowship.
4.
What God wants is
one flock and one shepherd, just as Jesus prayed that all may be one.
5.
Do not be in
haste to effect punishment, especially when you do not know who is right or
wrong.
6.
Many lawyers and
judges have put themselves inside the fiery chambers of hell fire, because they
persecuted or maltreated the Saints of God.
7.
Therefore, every
lawyer or judge must study spiritual science, before being recognized as a
lawyer or judge, for there are so many things which the ordinary eyes do not
see, and there are spiritual dimensions cases which dimensions should be taken
into consideration, before making final judgement.
8.
For example, who
would you blame in this case? The driver who knocked down a drunkard on the
road, or the native doctor that used charm to manipulate the driver into
killing the drunkard?
9.
In this above
sample case, three persons are the possible defaulters. One, the drunkard,
because he was drunk and misbehaving. Two, the driver, because he killed
drunkard. And three, the native doctor, because he used charm to manipulate the
driver into accident.
Chapter 25
Peter Denies Twice More
Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore
they said to him, "You are not also one of His disciples, are you?"
He denied it and said, "I am not!"
26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative
of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden
with Him?" 27 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.
John 18:25-27
Explanations:
1.
Always pray God
to deliver you from bad prophecies.
2.
Do not think or
boast that you can deliver yourself
3.
Also, be as wise
and humble as Peter, to readily admit your offences and ask for forgiveness.
4.
Failure to do so
leads to hell fire.
5.
Trying to prove
yourself right or complaining will only land you inside the hell fire.
Chapter 26
Pilate's Decision
Then Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the
purple robe. And Pilate said to them, "Behold the Man!"
6 Therefore, when the chief priests and officers saw
Him, they cried out, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "You take Him and crucify
Him, for I find no fault in Him."
7 The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according
to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God."
8 Therefore, when Pilate heard that saying, he was the
more afraid, 9 and went again into the Praetorium, and said to Jesus,
"Where are You from?" But Jesus gave him no answer.
10 Then Pilate said to Him, "Are You not speaking
to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release
You?"
11 Jesus answered, "You could have no power at
all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who
delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
12 From then on Pilate sought to release Him, but the
Jews cried out, saying, "If you let this Man go, you are not Caesar's
friend. Whoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar."
13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought
Jesus out and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called The
Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the
Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold your
King!"
15 But they cried out, "Away with Him, away with
Him! Crucify Him!"
Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your
King?"
The chief priests answered, “We have no king but
Caesar!"
16 Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. Then
they took Jesus and led Him away. John 19:5-16
Explanations:
1.
People who are
bent on doing evil do not listen to genuine excuses.
2.
And they do not
mind the grievous consequences.
3.
Jesus knew that
Pilate was ignorant of the Truth and should be innocent by not crucifying Him,
and Jesus warned Pilate against shedding blood, when Jesus said, "You
could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above.
Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
4.
When evil men
plot to do evil, they count their enemy facilitators as if they were friends.
Imagine the Israelite leaders, who detest Roman Empire calling Caesar their
king - The chief priests answered, “We
have no king but Caesar!"
Chapter 27
The King On A Cross
And He, bearing His cross, went out to a
place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18
where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and
Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And
the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
20 Then many of the Jews read this title,
for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written
in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews
said to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews,' but, 'He said,
"I am the King of the Jews."'"
22 Pilate answered, "What I have
written, I have written."
23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified
Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also
the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24
They said therefore among themselves, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots
for it, whose it shall be," that the Scripture might be fulfilled which
says:
"They divided My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots."
Therefore the soldiers did these things. John 19:17-25
(Matthew
27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:26-49)
Explanations:
??
Chapter 28
Behold Your Mother
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and
His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus
therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to
His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" 27 Then He said to the
disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took
her to his own home. John 19:25-27
Explanations:
Jesus handed Mary over to
John, so that John would take care of Mary, who was by then an elderly woman.
Chapter 30
It Is Finished
After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I
thirst!" 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they
filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30
So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!"
And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. John 19:28-30
Explanations:
1.
The son of man ha
no where to lay His head even on the Calvary, because they gave Him a vessel
full of sour wine, when He asked for pure drinking water.
Chapter 31
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that
the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was
a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that
they might be taken away. 32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the
first and of the other who was crucified with Him. 33 But when they came to Jesus
and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. 34 But one of
the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water
came out. 35 And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and
he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. John 19:31-34
Explanations:
1.
Preparation Day
means the day before Sabbath.
2.
In other words,
the disciples were keeping the Sabbath with Jesus.
3.
The blood and
water that came out from the sides of Jesus were offering of sacrifice for the
remission of sins.
4.
If the offering
of sacrifice were not still relevant, Jesus would not have offered His own
life, blood and water.
5.
The same blood of
Jesus is the blood of God Almighty, and the blood of God is God.
6.
The water from His
side is the water of mercy.
7.
Use the consuming
fire of the Holy Spirit to shatter, destroy and remove the powers of darkness.
8.
Use the blood of
Jesus to wash the children of God, for them to become good, pure and holy and
as original as when God first created them.
9.
Use the water of
mercy to wash the feet of the children of God, so that they shall be able to
withstand the second coming of the Devil.
Chapter 32
Fulfilment
36 For these things were done that the Scripture
should be fulfilled, "Not one of His bones shall be broken." 37 And
again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they
pierced." John 19:36,37
Explanations:
1.
His bones were
not broken, in confirmation of the word of God, as prophesied in the Old
Testament.
2.
Even so the Passover
ram was roasted without breaking any of its bones.
3.
This is a proof
that Jesus is the Messiah.
Chapter 33
Mary Magdalene Sees The Risen Lord
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she
wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in
white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you
weeping?"
She said to them, "Because they have taken away
my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
14 Now when she had said this, she turned around and
saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to
her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?"
She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him,
"Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I
will take Him away."
16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!"
She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!"
(which is to say, Teacher).
17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have
not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am
ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'"
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she
had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her. John 20:11-18
Explanations:
1.
Jesus did not
allow Mary Magdalene to touch Him.
2.
Thereby, Jesus
showed and proved that people should observe the rites of holiness.
3.
People neglect or
reject the rites of holiness and are therefore dying in numbers and enmass,
everyday.
4.
Mary Magdalene
called Jesus, “Rabboni!" (which
is to say, Teacher).
5.
Jesus is the
Teacher of the Truth.
Chapter 34
Seeing And Believing
Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was
not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him,
"We have seen the Lord."
So he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands
the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put
my hand into His side, I will not believe."
26 And after eight days His disciples were again
inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in
the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" 27 Then He said to Thomas,
"Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and
put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord
and my God!"
29 Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have
seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have
believed." John 20:24-29
Explanations:
1.
Blessed are those
who have not seen and yet have believed the Truth.
2.
Already, many
have deceived themselves by believing all kinds of ungodly teachings and
practices, as if the beliefs and practices were from God.
3.
Thomas did well to
call Jesus, “My Lord and my God”.
4.
Yourself should
do better by calling Jesus, “My Lord and my God and my Father”.
Chapter 35
That You May Believe
And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence
of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written
that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that
believing you may have life in His name. John 20:30-31
Explanations:
1.
Right from Adam,
God made it known that keeping record is very important.
2.
Therefore, every
generation should keep up-to-date and accurate record of the God’s works during
their time.
3.
That is how the
bible became a book that was written by several men of God and by one
generation after another.
4.
Many churches
have neglected this very important record keeping.
5.
All the same it
is even better that many of them did not write to keep records, because they
were following the antichrist.
Chapter 36
Breakfast By The Sea
After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the
disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 2 Simon
Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of
Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to
them, "I am going fishing."
They said to him, "We are going with you
also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night
they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the
shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to
them, "Children, have you any food?"
They answered Him, "No."
6 And He said to them, "Cast the net on the right
side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast, and now they were
not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to
Peter, "It is the Lord!" Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the
sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far
from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. 9 Then,
as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid
on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you
have just caught."
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land,
full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so
many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and eat
breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are
You?" — knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the
bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to
His disciples after He was raised from the dead. John 21:1-14
Explanations:
1.
The visitations
and appearances of Jesus after His resurrection were convincing proofs that
Jesus is the Lord and Saviour.
2.
Jesus did all
these to show the world that death is not the end of life, and birth is not the
beginning of life.
3.
By so doing,
Jesus proved that there is life in spirit, after death.
4.
Again, He did so
for a sign to the world that reincarnation is true, for He died and came back
to life.
5.
The disciples
offered baked bread and roasted fish to Jesus, who in turn gave it back to them
to eat.
6.
Thereby,
providing a convincing example that the offering of sacrifice is still
relevant, for when we offer sacrifice to God, we receive blessings and grace
from His abundant love.
Chapter 37
Jesus Restores Peter
So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon
Peter, "Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love
You."
He said to him, "Feed My lambs."
16 He said to him again a second time, "Simon,
son of Jonah, do you love Me?"
He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love
You."
He said to him, "Tend My sheep."
17 He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of
Jonah, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third
time, "Do you love Me?"
And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things;
You know that I love You."
Jesus said to him, "Feed My sheep. 18 Most
assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked
where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and
another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish." 19 This He
spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken
this, He said to him, "Follow Me." John 21:15-19
Explanations:
1.
You feed the sheep
by teaching them the word of God, making sure that they remain steadfast in
keeping the original Ten Commandments of God as in Exodus 20 and by observing
the seven annual festivals of God as written in Leviticus 23, which festivals
Jesus attended.
2.
You tend the
sheep by ensuring their everyday welfare.
3.
All these very
important duties and assignments are being neglected by the religious leaders,
who are parading themselves about.
4.
The religious
leaders are more interested in building their personal church businesses,
whereas they were called to work in the Lord’s vineyard, which is the
Everlasting Covenant.
5.
That is why
religions, churches, ministries and fellowship are multiplying all over the
world. Yet, the souls of the billions and billions dead are not entering the
kingdom of heaven. Majority are inside the hell fire.
Chapter 38
The Beloved Disciple And His Book Of Revelation
Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom
Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and
said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?" 21 Peter, seeing him,
said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"
22 Jesus said to him, "If I will that he remain
till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."
23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that
this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not
die, but, "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to
you?"
24 This is the disciple who testifies of these things,
and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things that Jesus
did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world
itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen. John 21:20 -25
Explanations:
1.
John remained
until Jesus came and gave him the contents of the book of Revelation.
