As Delivered By St
Paul De Evangelist
On Sabbath Day, The Seventhday, 11th January 2020
Arrival and Self-Introduction
Myself, St Paul De Evangelist, is now in your midst.
Opening Benedictions
Let the peace of God my Father abide with you.
Let the peace of Yahweh, who is the beginning and the end, who knows the
end from the beginning, abide with you all, in name of Jesus.
Work Before Eating
Son of man, I say that the way is narrow. You are to remain steadfast.
Do not backslide. But, how many of you are still standing firm? Many are
backsliding.
I told you that the kingdom of heaven is place where there is joy, and
no suffering.
It is after a child has endeavoured and completed training and
examinations, that he is given a job, for him to reap the benefits of his
sufferings.
Is it not when the army officer has gone for training and completed his
training, after undertaking all the necessary sufferings, that he is called a
soldier and given all the honours? It is so.
Is it not then that he is given all the honours and benefits? It is.
Then, why do your people want to eat without suffering?
This message and questions concern the children of God, for many of them
are walking in the way of salvation, doing so in flesh. Many are not walking in
spirit. That is why many are going astray, by their own ignorance. Even in this
ministry, many are going astray by their own ignorance.
Preparation Is Necessary
Whoever that is going for military school, is he hoping to eat rice and
lick sweet or to fast and suffer? He is going there to fast and suffer.
A person going to military school, is he going there to enjoy or to suffer?
He is going there to suffer.
He goes there to suffer.
Therefore, what does he do before going for the training?
He prepares himself very well.
You answered very well.
Many do not prepare adequately; they do not prepare very well.
Necessary Preparations
There are several types of preparations. There is physical preparation,
and there is mental preparation. Also, there is spiritual preparation.
Mental Preparation
The army recruit prepares himself, because he is going to a difficult
place. He makes himself ready to endure whatever suffering that he will
encounter there. He knows that his training shall involve several rigorous
training, many of which shall not pleasant. Therefore, he makes up his mind to
accept whatever training and instructions that shall be given to him from day
to day.
That is why he is happy to sleep inside the bush, satisfied to stand
under the sun, unperturbed to keep watch when a heavy rain is falling upon him,
etc.
An Illustration
Whenever you attend an event that ends at 12:00noon, you do stay there
till the end.
But, by announcement, you have been told that the next event shall end
at 10:00am.
Once it is 10:00am, and the event has not ended, you feel disturbed; you
feel restless and want to leave the venue.
Why?
That was an event that you used to stay up to 12:00noon. But this time
around, you feel disturbed and wish to go.
Son of man, why does it happen like that? Why do you feel
restless? And all you want is to go, to leave the event.
It is because of mental preparation – you have been mentally
prepared to stay there up to 10:00am only.
Do you people not know that everything in the body is controlled by the
brain?
Son of man, why does such a thing happen?
Why become restless?
It is all about mental set.
You feel disturbed and in distress, because you are not mentally
prepared for the change or long hour.
Relevance
Is this parable about the kingdom of heaven or about the earthly
kingdom? It is about the heavenly kingdom.
Today, my message is oji ncha
awu ahu mara
kwa onwe
ya. Meaning that this message is
for all ministers, who are not performing their duties as ministers of God.
Heaven is not pleased with so many children of God, because they are walking in
the flesh. They are not serious. They are not diligent. They are not regular.
Son of man, what did I say?
Many have become lost due to their own ignorance, because they are
walking in the flesh. Many are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.
Why People Are On The Move
A person going for training should decide to stay till the end and to
complete his training. Many people fail to do this. Instead, they wrongly feel
that they can move from one church to another. That is why they are busy
looking for one reason or the other, so that they continue to move, according
to their intentions and mental set. They have already programmed, mentally,
themselves to be on the move.
Physical Preparations
For good physical preparations, the soldier takes his bags, takes his
shoes and makes sure that everything he needs for the training is inside the
bag. Is it not true? It is true.
He tells himself that he is going to suffer.
Like Soldiers
All the people in the world are like soldiers in training. Many have
lost the way to salvation, because they did not prepare themselves to stay till
the end.
They forgot to prepare, and they forgot to pray in preparations for
God’s work. They forget to tell themselves that they may encounter disappointments
and embarrassments. They fail to prepare themselves to withstand all challenges
and overcome the challenges.
Mobility Of Membership
Many are quick to change mission, moving from one church, ministry or
fellowship to another. They do this the moment they encounter anything
embarrassing or unexpected. Many do so simply because they are given
corrections, which corrections are intended to save their souls from
condemnation.
General Failure
People fail to remind themselves that Satan is everywhere causing
troubles, obstacles, challenges, disappointments and embarrassments.
This Satan has one mission only. His intention is to mislead as many
souls of humanity as possible into the hell fire.
And people forget that all theses churches, ministries and fellowships
are the gateways into the hell fire, because they are not keeping the
Everlasting Covenant of God. That is false mobility of faith, people playing
religious harlotry, by …
Blessed, indeed, is he who remains steadfast in this ministry, because
he will certainly attain the kingdom of heaven.
Parable Of The Unfriendly Man
Son of man, if you were to go and meet somebody, and
you were told that the person makes very bad utterances, you will prepare
yourself before going to him. Even if he calls you names or curses you, you
will remind yourself that you were told.
So it is. So it has been made, that the children of God should be
prepared, even so in the morning, afternoon and night…
Negligence
Many people have abandoned their work. Many have abandoned the way for
salvation, because they did not prepare themselves.
Temptations
Before, Satan was in the world. Now, he is in the midst of the children
of God.
Son of man, temptation can come from any person or direction. It can
come from your fellow member, through the head, by your best friend, starting
with your wife or husband, through your role model or by the way of unexpected
sources. It is because people do not prepare themselves, adequately, that they
easily and quickly fall away.
Satan knows that there is no more time. That is why he is in the midst
of the children of God, doing evils, committing abominations, to discredit, to
disappoint, to disorganize, to confuse and to mislead many children of God, who
would allow themselves to be deceived.
As stated in the bible, "Whoever causes one of these little ones
who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung
around his neck , and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offences! For offences must come, but woe to that man by whom the offence
comes!” Matthew 18:6-7
Future Thrones And Glories
Children of God prepare yourselves. Many did
not prepare themselves. This world is for training. Many of you shall sit in glorious
thrones in heaven, after your trainings.
…
And the sole purpose of the covenant of God is for you to remain
steadfast in it, despite all odds.
Learn From Current Happenings
Tell the congregation, time is coming when they shall be far greater in
number than what they are now. What are they going to do then?
Therefore, let them learn from the current happenings in their midst,
which are meant to wake them up, to train them, to prepare them for greater
tasks and encounters that are coming in the future.
All Round Ministrations
Son of man, Son of man!
Tell humanity that we, the Angels and Saints of Heaven, are spirits. We
are also present in their midst. We do come into your midst from time to time.
We see, perfectly, as it pleases Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts, according to
the directives of Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts.
People think that it is only when anointing moves people that we are
present and manifest. It is not only when anointing moves people that we are
present and active.
Call For Vigilance
Therefore, children of God, be vigilant, be
vigilant, be vigilant, because temptation is coming. It is coming. It is coming
in various ways. It is coming in ways unexpected. Temptation is coming.
What does this mean?
Populations are coming. Multitudes are coming from various places, each
person with a different set of character, from different backgrounds. All these
teeming populations have diverse ways of reactions to maters. Many shall come
with their bad natures or misconducts. Others will come with their good
behaviours and useful talents. And there shall be occasional misunderstandings
and quarrels. But, let no one leave this ship of salvation because conflicts
and insults.
Besides, the Devil will seek out ways to sneak into the midst of the
congregation, to cause problems or crisis, in order to mislead many out of this
ministry, out of this end time ship of salvation, the only opportunity given to
humanity, into the hell fire.
Training Field
Tell humanity that this world is not a place for permanent residence.
Tell them, all the things given to them in this world – blessings,
favours and opportunities – are tools for work.
Many shall have their kingdoms taken away from them, because they fail to
prepare themselves. Already, many have their crowns taken away, because they
failed to prepare themselves.
Tell them to prepare themselves.
Tell them to prepare themselves.
Tell them to prepare themselves.
Jesus did not stop his work because of temptations and hindrances.
Likewise, the children of God are expected to continue in their race of
salvation, to continue in their divine work, until they reach the end and win
the crown of life.
Observations
Children of God do not prepare themselves.
Children of God do not remember that temptations shall come their ways.
Children of God do not remain steadfast.
Children of God are not vigilant against the enemy and his deceptions.
Children of God do not forgive and forget, to
free themselves spiritually, for them to grow very fast in spirit.
Children of God do not remember that this world is a training ground.
Children of God do not know that this world is not their place of
residence.
Children of God do not know that their blessings, favours and opportunities
are tools for work.
Irrespective of whatever they see or encounter in this ministry, let
them remain steadfast. And let them know that temptations can come from any
source.
Why Satan Is Contending With Humanity
What effort is Satan making?
He is doing everything possible to prevent humanity from gaining the
kingdom he lost.
Son of man, if your kingdom is taken away from you, and given to another
person, will you be happy?
What did Saul did when his kingdom was taken away from him? He became angry.
He became angry and wanted to kill David. If God had not been with
David, Saul would have succeeded in killing him.
Son of man, ask the congregation. If it were you, you will do everything
possible to regain and retain the kingdom?
Already
The Devil is tireless (relentless) in seeking to mislead the children of
God from gaining his lost kingdom. He is trying to hinder the church in every
way possible. Do not allow anybody to take away your throne. For many thrones
are already vacant in heaven. The occupants are no where to be found. Many have
lost their glorious thrones, because they were not prepared. Because the
occupants were not prepared, their efforts were in vain.
Sources Of Temptations
Temptations can come from various sources – friends, mates, family
members, colleagues, employers, employees, etc.
If you stop in your race of salvation, the distance that you have
already covered shall be lost. Therefore, be vigilant. And prepare yourselves
like soldiers who are going into battle.
Such soldiers are not frightened or discouraged by whatever they see in
the battlefields.
Vigilance
Why are you people not prepared?
Why are you people not vigilant?
The devil comes in various ways.
Be vigilant, so that whenever Satan comes, you shall be able to
withstand him.
Many shall fall on the way.
Many shall fall because they are mocked.
Many shall fall because they criticized.
Many shall fall because of earthly wealth.
Many shall fall because they are given corrections.
Many shall fall because they are insulted.
Many shall fall because of false allegations.
Many shall fall because of disrespect and dishonour.
Many shall fall because they are not recognized and praised.
Many shall fail, by giving so many reasons and excuses, which are
irrelevant excuses.
But what are all these things compared to everlasting treasures and
pleasures?
What are these earthly things compared to beautiful mansions, glorious
thrones and shining crowns?
For Training
Always remember that the world is not a place of residence. It is a
training ground. As soldiers are sent to various places and mountains for
training, so is this world a training school.
Whatever possession that you have here on earth is a blessing. Besides,
it is a tool for work. You are expected to use it in working for God and
humanity.
When soldiers are sent out, they are given guns or matchets,
and sent into the bush. Many shall be given various blessings. The blessings
may be talents, money, opportunities, etc.
Various peoples shall be sent to you from various places. They shall
come test you, to try you. But, you shall show them that you are immovable,
unbeatable, resolute and victorious. That is when they shall like to emulate
you, to become like yourselves.
The Victorious Soldier
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Be vigilant.
Prepare yourself like a soldier going into the battlefield. That is why
the soldier is not frightened or discouraged by whatever he encounters in the
battlefield. He believes firmly that he will scale over the huddles and
overcome the challenges.
Pray And Watch
Why are your people not prepared? Why are they not vigilant?
Do they think that the enemy will leave them alone? The Devil is
tireless, relentless. Therefore, do not get tired. Do not relent in your
efforts. Do not relent in your prayers and worship. Do not relent in your
services and works.
By Merit
Understand that all the sufferings and temptations, that you encounter
from day to day, is the price you have to pay to get the kingdom.
Many of the believers shall be criticized or mocked. Others shall have
their money and wealth taken away from them. Some shall be called names or called
so many bad names. Others shall be made a thing of play or entertainment.
Therefore, be vigilant and welcome whichever test that comes your way
with joy, knowing full well that your rewards shall be great in heaven.
Variety Of Test
The way of testing Peter shall be different from the way of testing
Paul.
The Devil is contending with you, because of the kingdom taken away from
him. He does not want you people to take over the glorious kingdom.
Let everybody be vigilant. And know it that this world is not a place of
residence. It is a training ground. Your existence here on earth is for your
training.
Blessings Are Tools
As I have told you before, your earthly
blessings, favours and opportunities are blessings. Above all, they are tools
for work.
Some have being given talents. Others were
given money and wealth. Some others were given wisdom, etc. Whatever that has
being given to you, is a blessing. The same is also a tool.
Be Diligent And
Fruitful
Whatever that has been given to you, as talent
or gift, is recorded in heaven, and you shall be judged by it.
Forwardness
Real battle is coming. Various peoples from
diverse places shall be sent to you. And all the evils that they have learnt or
gathered over the years shall not be removed in just one day.
If you retrace your step, what do you think
that the coming new ones shall do? By going back, you receive curse on
yourself. And because another person has defaulted by you, another curse is
levelled against you.
The Wisdom Of God
Whatever you encounter or experience here on
earth is for your purification and refinement.
Why Does God Allow Satan?
God loves His children. He will not afflict
them. Therefore, He allows Satan to afflict His children, in order to refine them,
to make them wise, experienced and useful.
But, what did God do? What wisdom did He apply?
He equipped every one of His children with
power and victory, so that they shall be confident and victorious in all
battlefronts.
Pray And Watch
Son of man, tell your people to be vigilant.
Reminder
There are several types of preparations. There is physical preparation,
and there is mental preparation. Also, there is spiritual preparation.
Necessary Physical Preparations
1. Relocate to a place
that will enable you do God’s work.
2. For best result,
relocate to a place that is both near and conducive.
3. Avoid such works
that make you miss the appointed times of God. It is very bad that many people
use God’s time for their personal, family, business or social matters.
4. Provide all the
approved dresses, even before you go for training.
5. Provide the
garments that are needed.
6. Make adequate
arrangements for feeding.
7. Etc.
Necessary Mental Preparations
1. Understand that the
work you are called to do is spiritual, and not physical.
2. You have been
called to serve, and not to be the lord of yourself.
3. You must be ready
to obey Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour.
4. Participate in the
orientation or call for one, if you missed the opportunity.
5. Understand the duration
of the training, which may be longer, if necessary.
6. You are not there
to give orders, but to obey instructions.
7. You are there for
training, which you must not play with.
8. That means that you
have to be diligent and regular.
9. You may receive
insults or minor wounds, but that is not enough reason why you should abandon
your training and work.
10.
You should know that there is hierarchy, seniority, in
every organization. Therefore, you must be ready to obey your seniors, obey
your mates, and obey your juniors where they are right.
11.
In an organization, there are policies, processes and
procedures. You should not do things just the way you want. Instead, you follow
the due processes as specified by the authorities.
12.
The way human beings like to do things may not be the
way the Holy Spirit wants you to operate.
13.
Temptations shall come in ways unexpected, but they
are not reasons why you should abandon your call.
14.
You are not in training to dictate what you should do
or what shall be done.
15.
You should take the time of your training very
serious, because the period of training, is an opportunity that does not last
for ever.
16.
Avoid side attractions, disturbances, intrusions and
distractions.
17.
A good soldier will know what likely hardships he is
going to suffer, what likely training events he has to undergo, the experiences
he going to have, the inconveniences he has to bear, the unavoidable things he
has to endure, the processes he shall go through, the things he does not like
which he has to put up with, have plan for personal medical condition, etc.
18.
And he bears all the sufferings, insults, likes and
dislikes, in
the course of the training, in order to qualify for approval, for
certification, for confirmation, for promotion, for deployment and for
benefits.
19.
Prepare yourself by studying the books of life, and
there are so many of them now available. Visit this website, www.divinebase.com, to study the numerous
Books of Truth
20.
Do not emulate those who love to stay idle and gossip,
from day to day, without knowing that they are denying themselves spiritual
growth and rewards.
21.
Etc.
Necessary Spiritual Preparations
1. You must remove
those things that are worldly, and direct yourself to those things that shall
help you grow in spirit.
2. You have to stop
watching series of films and videos every night. Watching films and videos once
in a while or weekly is good.
3. You have to stop
listening to worldly music and songs.
4. You have to carve
out time for quiet time and mediation.
5. You have to stop
going to certain places.
6. You have to stop
attending certain events.
7. Provide yourself
with separate belongings, which you shall use exclusively, to be used by you
alone.
8. Such belongings may
include cooking pots, plates, spoons, fork, knives, buckets, towel, comb,
chair, bed, etc, as the case may be.
9. When you go for
prayers and worship, bear in mind that you are only going to do some work. Do
not be among those who usually stay idle.
10.
Pray for the Holy Spirit for doing God’s work.
11.
Pray for the spirit of service, spirit of wisdom and
spirit of orderliness.
12.
Whatever that is your talent, pray for the angel
in-charge of it, to come and teach you, and to assist you.
13.
Pray for peace of mind.
14.
Pray for the spirit to overcome the world.
15.
Pray for the spirit of forgiveness, so that you do not
delay your work, or disorganize your progress, by bearing grudges.
16.
Etc.
Closing Benediction
Let the peace and blessings of God abide with you forever.
