How The
Apostles Overcame
By
The Twelve Apostles
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered very well. You answered correctly. As you people know, when Peter started to follow Jesus, as the ministers of God are following you now, when ourselves and Peter started to follow Jesus, ourselves had many various behaviours in ourselves, which behaviours were not good.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: But, how did we overcome the bad characters?
The Head: It was by obedience and by regular attendance, and all the bad powers and behaviours left by themselves.
Against Hot
Temperament
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what of the ministers of God who have hot temper?
It is pulling them backward, and they use the hot temper to disorganize works. By their hot temper, they disorganize this DivineBase Ministry.
Son of man, yourself have told them about hot temper, about anger and wrath of God.
Son of man, tell them, to start to remove all these bad characters. Themselves hall be obedient people.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Do yourselves know that Peter had hot temper?
The Head: Yes. In the place where they wrote about Peter, it was said that he was somebody who was quick to react. By the explanations, it showed that Peter has hot temper. He would like to take immediately actions or he simply takes action because he is angry.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, why did the hot temper not prevent him from being the head of the apostles, disciples and followers of Jesus?
Jesus saw the anger in him and still made him the head.
What is the cause?
The Head: One, there is division of labour. When Peter was sent to the world, being the head was one of the works that he came to do, his destiny.
Apostle Matthew: To fight?
The Head: No, to be the head of the apostles as was assigned to him.
Apostle Matthew: Two, when Jesus was making him the head, Jesus knew that eventually Peter will overcome hot temper. Let the Lord make us to know the other reasons.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered correctly.
Hmmmm?
Because Jesus saw what was going to happen, Jesus knew the perfect washing which He had given to us…
Love Is Very
Important
Apostle Matthew: And the love which Jesus put in ourselves was the love that remained steadfast. Himself knew that… that was why when he was going back to the Father, our hearts were strong. And Jesus sent the Holy Spirit who shall make the work perfect.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself have to tell all your ministers about hot temper. Tell them, all the various ministers shall have love. Son of man, they shall have brotherly relationship. Son of man, it is compulsory, because love is one of the laws which Jesus gave to us, which law remains steadfast in us. The love was steadfast when ourselves started work, and it remained steadfast while we were rounding off our work. Love makes the ministers of God to develop the heart that is used in serving and worshipping God.
Son of man, confusions and distresses shall not be there. Son of man, mockery and backbiting – gossiping – have to be removed, avoided. If there is no love in the midst of the ministers of God, their enemies will persecute them. And none of the ministers of God shall be able to withstand the persecution when the enemy comes in.
The Head: That is true.
Apostle Matthew: Because nobody is watchful. Son of man, love is highly important.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Love makes them to grow in spirit as the children of God.
Son of man, love brings progress to them.
The Head: Love is victory in all battlefronts, because when a person cannot win, and is assisted by his brother, the two shall overcome.
Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well.
Son of man, many of the ministers of God, who are praying, asking God for…something, themselves do not know that they have stamped themselves – blocked their ways to success and prosperity.
The Head: Because God answers prayer for one person through another. Where there is no love, if God wants to answer somebody’s prayer through another person, the person will block God’s move.
Apostle Matthew: Because there is no love. If there is no one heart, no unity, everybody goes his own way and none inquires of the other. Each person prays for himself alone. That is why when their enemies come, the enemies pull them down.
Parable Of Cemented Blocks
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, see these blocks in this building. All the blocks are cemented together. If you were to remove some of the blocks, the others shall not be able to stand. All the blocks on the other side shall not be able to stand.
The Head: Because their love is not perfect.
Apostle Matthew: Their protection is not perfect. Themselves are not watchful. If they are pushed, shall they be able to stand?
The Head: They shall not be able to stand.
Apostle Matthew: … Son of man, love brings the Holy Spirit in the midst of the ministers of God. It draws the Angels close to the ministers of God.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Love is what comes from heaven.
The Head: It is true.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven are one.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Themselves, the ministers of God, shall become one just as the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven are one.
Apostle Matthew: Send out message to all your ministers
Why Apostle John Is
Called “De Beloved”
Apostle Matthew: Why
do people call him Apostle John De Believed?
The Head: It is
according to human understanding. People think that Jesus has special love for
Apostle John.
Apostle Matthew: Number
1, the book of John is the first gospel.
Number 2, He started from the beginning to explain all
things.
Number 3, John made very great efforts. He strove in spirit,
to grow in spirit.
The Head: Number
4, of all the things written in the gospel, he was the one always walking in
spirit. His writing pointed out and explained more of the spiritual nature,
life and works of Jesus Christ. Others were writing mainly narrations of what were happening.
Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very
well. Making efforts, both physically and spiritually, is very important. But
many do make physical efforts and do not make spiritual efforts.
What of the spiritual efforts?
Number 5, John loved Jesus very well, very much. All of the
apostles loved Jesus, but some had greater love.
Do you understand this?
Chukwudi: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: How
was his love the greatest?
The Head: He was
among the most regular and punctual in attendance, from time to time. He was
among those who made efforts as was directed.
Son of man, ourselves have explained how. He was obedient
right from the time he knew Jesus, to the end.
Apostle Matthew: Son
of man, all the children of God who disobey Jesus, the Angels record bad marks
for them. When they start being obedient, the Angels will start marking good for them. if the total number
of marks is 100, and the person scored 70, his score cannot be written as 100
over 100. It shall be written as 70 over 100, which is not complete and
perfect. But as for all the people who started from the beginning to be
obedient, and have no spot, no bad records, and their records shall be 100 over
100.
Son of man, the forgiveness of Jesus is of different types
and levels. Some people are forgiven, and they enter heaven, and stay in heaven
to correct their lives. Some are forgiven by Jesus and all their sins are wiped
out. Such people enter heaven and stay. Even so there are grades of
forgiveness. Judas entered heaven, but he started afresh, from the beginning.
Is there anything you understand? Yes, my Lord.
