The Good Shepherd

By

The Twelve Apostles

Jesus Is The Good Shepherd

This account is the first continuation of the case of the man born blind, who washed at Silo’am and was healed by Jesus.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber; but he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the gatekeeper opens; the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. A stranger they will not follow, but they will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” This figure Jesus used with them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. John 10:1-6

So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them. I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that you humanity may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hireling and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hireling and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.” John 10:7-17

There was again a division among the Israelites because of these words. Many of them said, “He has a demon, and he is mad; why listen to him?” Others said, “These are not the sayings of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” John 10:19-21

Jesus Is Rejected By The Israelites

It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Israelites gathered round Him and said to Him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all that is created, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”

The Israelites took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of these do you stone me?” The Israelites answered Him, “It is not for a good work that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are Gods’? If God Almighty called them Gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken), do you say of Him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the FirstSon of God’? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Again they tried to arrest Him, but He escaped from their hands.

He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John at first baptized, and there He remained. And many came to Him; and they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” And many believed in him there. John 10:22-42

The Sheep And The Gate

“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber… John 10:1

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, who are those people that Jesus was explaining?

… Who are the sheep?

Who are those people?

The Head: The sheep are the people, called the Saints, who believe in Jesus Christ, who do what Jesus tells them, who follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who keep the laws of God. They are the Saints who enter the kingdom of heaven through the gate.

But, all the others, who reject what Jesus tells them, are the people who have lost the way. All such religious leaders, their churches, ministries and fellowships, and their members, drive themselves away from the kingdom of heaven.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself explained it very well.

But these people do not believe in Jesus?

The Head: Yes. Yet, Jesus is salvation. He is the way, the truth and the life. Only Himself shall everybody follow to inherit the kingdom of heaven.

The Thieves, Wolves And False Christs

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the thieves that Jesus was talking about?

Who are they?

The Head: They are the various religious leaders and their churches, ministries and fellowships. They mislead the souls of humanity. They pretend to work for God, but they are not working for God Almighty. Instead, they are doing their own personal opinions or working for various gods. Included among the thieves and wolves are those people in government and leaderships. They include the presidents and governors, and people in leadership or people in positions of authorities, from the least to the greatest. They are among those who block the way of truth and salvation. All the laws they make and all the works they do are not according to the will of God. Their laws are against the laws of God. For example, God says “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” But religious leaders and other leaders introduce, keep and enforce Sunday worship. That is why it is hard for people to do what God wants.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, you answered very well. Son of man, it includes all the people in their various homes, who claim to Jesus.

Chukwudi, have you heard it?

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, such people claim to be Jesus, but have we the Saints said so?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: Have the Angels of God said so?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: Has the Holy Spirit given revelations to confirm their claims?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, ourselves, the Saints of heaven, have not said that all these people who claim to be Jesus are Jesus indeed. The Angels have not said so. The Holy Spirit has not given revelation in confirmation of what they say.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: What happened at the time of John?

What happened then?

The Head: The Angels testified that Jesus is the FirstSon of God. The Saints of heaven testified that Jesus is the true Christ. The Holy Spirit and God the Father bore witness that Jesus is the FirstSon of God. It was God Almighty Himself that came in the midst of humanity in the person of Jesus Christ.

Apostle Matthew: Then why do all these people who claim to be Jesus claim to be Jesus?

The Head: It is self-deceit. Many of them were given message about Jesus. They did not understand the messages given to them. They misinterpreted the messages – prophecies, visions and revelations.

Apostle Matthew: Chukwudi, what do yourself have to say?

Chukwudi: One reason why sometimes, they claim to be Jesus is because they worship various gods, thinking that they are worshipping God Almighty. And the spirits they worship call themselves FirstSon, respectively, without the claimers knowing that the spirits they worship are not God Almighty. All these claims are due to various spirits that give messages to them. Many spirits are giving messages. Therefore, the ministers of those spirits see themselves as Christs, because they have seen that themselves have grown in spirit.

Apostle Matthew: Yes.

Chukwudi: Such claimers speak and their words come to fulfilment and manifestations.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, you know that when people hear what the false Christ say, they support the claimers as if the claimers are true.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what are the evidences?

Where are the proofs?

The Head: What Chukwudi said are true.

Confirmatory Signs Of Jesus Christ

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what are the proofs?

The Head: Showing that they are the FirstSon of God?

Themselves do not know the proofs which show that a person is the FirstSon of God. And they explain it in their own understanding. The proofs which show that a person is the FirstSon of God are the following:

Number 1, the person is the FirstSon of God indeed, in spirit and in truth.

Number 2 is transfiguration.

Number 3, the Angels will testify that the person is Jesus Christ.

Number 4, the Saints of heaven will testify that the person is truly Jesus Christ.

Number 5, God Almighty will bear witness that the person is Jesus Christ.

Another thing that will prove the true Christ , if all of the claimers were not stand before humanity, in a stadium televised all over the world, the sign by which to know the FirstSon of God is to give them chance to teach a topic or speak to the world. And humanity shall see that the teaching of the true Jesus shall excel the teachings of the others, false Christs. But the churches, ministries and fellowships do not what to do this needful contest. That is why when the religious leaders and claimers are being called, summoned to this DivineBase Ministry, they keep on running away, and they refuse to attend.

Warning To The False Christs

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, send message to all of them, all over the world. Tell them, all those people who claim to be Jesus Christ. Tell them, it is the spirit of shame and disgrace that ourselves, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven, are coming with – they shall be disgraced in such ways that tingle the ears. The mouths of people shall not be able to say what shall happen to the false claimers.

Themselves, do they know what themselves are saying?

Do they know the weight of what they are saying?

Do they know the consequences of what they are saying?

The Head: They do not know.

Apostle Matthew: Do they know the meaning of the FirstSon of God?

The Head: They do not know.

Apostle Matthew: Themselves, ordinary living human beings claiming to be Jesus?

The Head: They do not know.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, tell all of them to close that chapter – to stop claiming to be Jesus Christ.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Let them do so now.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, tell them, if they continue to say such, what shall happen to them, what shall happen to them shall tingle the ears. Son of man, when it shall set – when the time comes and disgraceful afflictions befall them – tell all those who claim to be Jesus not to tremble, and let them not run away. Tell them, it shall be ourselves, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven, flogging them. Son of man, we shall continue to flog them, until themselves shall no longer have the mouth to claim to be Jesus. Hmmm! They shall not have the mouth to say that themselves are Jesus.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, this person claims to be Jesus. That person claims to be Jesus. And another person claims to be Jesus. They are causing confusions.

The Head: Yes. They are struggling for power, contending for leadership.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, themselves do not know that they are belittling the Holy Spirit.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what did God the Father tell St John De Baptist?

God told John, whoever that the Holy Spirit shall fall upon, in the form of a dove, the same person is the Lord and Saviour.

Apostle Matthew: Which shows confirmation. Son of man, themselves are belittling the Holy Spirit.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: For Jesus is the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, tell them that ourselves shall kill them. We shall flog and flog and flog them, until themselves die. Then, when they die, we shall know which other spirit that shall take over from them.

When Jesus ascended to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit?

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Themselves, we shall know whether it is the housefly that themselves shall send.

Humanity make things very hard for us, the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven, and they make things to be very hard, making a very short and simple journey to be a long journey. Tell them, ourselves the Hosts of Angels and Saints of heaven have taken the cane and swords, to strike down all those who do not have manners – the disobedient ones.

Son of man, all the people who claim to be Jesus, how many sheep do they have?

The Head: They have none, because they are not the lords of humanity.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man … Yourself, who is the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ reincarnated in the midst of humanity, ourselves the Saints of heaven are with you, - always, in all areas of life - including what you humanity see physically and what you see spiritually.

Themselves that claim to be Jesus, how many sheep do they have?

The Head: None.

Apostle Matthew: How can the Saints leave the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, and follow the person who is not the FirstSon?

It is not possible.

A person who does such a bad thing, is the person still a saint?

The Head: No.

The True Christ

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10:11

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, humanity who are the children of God supposed to conduct themselves like the Angels.

Son of man, how many times have all the people living in this world heard that Jesus told an angel what to do and the angel refused?

The Head: There is none.

Apostle Matthew: How many times have the people living in this world …?

The Head: There is none.

Apostle Matthew: son of man, … God is telling all the children of God in this world and all the people living in this world, that Himself God is the FirstSon. Himself. Jesus Christ, came from God the Father and as the God the Father. Themselves supposed to obey and follow yourself as Jesus reincarnated, the man who saw God face to face, before more than forty (40) times, and now more than seventy (70) times, Raphael Okechukwu Nweze.

Son of man, how many times shall they be told this?

The Head: Once is enough for them, but they have being told that several times.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, many times.

How many of them believe it?

The Head: Only very few. One or two persons.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, tell them, themselves are going out of line – doing the wrong thing, following the wrong way. Themselves are breaking the laws, but themselves do not know that they are breaking the laws.

Son of man, tell the Saints living here on earth, themselves shall be emulating the behaviour of the Angels, just as the Angels do… in righteousness and holiness.

Son of man, tell them to pray and get the Holy Spirit, with which themselves shall … emulate the Angels of God.

From time to time. They have to do this because all of them are blind. Themselves are blind. Many do not want to open their spiritual eyes. And there is none of them who is making efforts to open their spiritual eyes, in order to see.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, ask them a question.

Do they want to remain in blindness?

A person who does not know the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ; a person who does not believe in Jesus, what is the person living for and doing?

Hmmm?

Hmmm! Tell all of them, the way that they are walking in, there is no way there. That place they hope on – churches, ministries and fellowships – there is no hope there. Let them come back to DivineBase Ministry, where Jesus Christ is spiritually present and physically manifest as the man who saw God face to face.

In Diaspora

And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. John 10:16

The children of God are scattered all over the world, as various nations, tribes, visitors, tenants, workers or tourists.

God Almighty As Jesus Christ

For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again; this charge I have received from my Father.” John 10:17-18

It was God Almighty that came to the world in the person of Jesus Christ. God is able to make Himself three. The three is called the Holy Trinity: almighty God the father, almighty love as Jesus Christ and almighty presence as the Holy Spirit. Even so as water can exist in the triple modes of solid as ice block, liquid as water and gas as vapour. God Almighty came by Himself as Jesus Christ to save humanity.

People could not recognize God as Jesus in the midst, because they are looking for God where He is not. God appears in His simplicity, honesty and naturalness, and not as a frightening spirit that is awesome to behold. Again, in this end time, it is the same God Almighty who is Jesus, that has appeared in the midst of humanity, as the man who saw God face to face, playing the roles of God and man, Master and servant, and Teacher and student.

In My Father’s Name

So the Israelites gathered round Him and said to Him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness to me; John 10:24,25

The name of God is God . Therefore, when Jesus says that He came in the name of God, it simply means myself is the God Almighty.

“I And The Father Are One.”

Myself, who is standing before you, is the God Almighty, Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts. John 10:30

Man Is A Perfect God.

Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are Gods’? John 10:34

Mani is a perfect God. Just like a tree-in-the-seed form, which is sown, to germinate, grow, mature and bear fruits. This is the great mystery of life. The earlier a person believes this, the earlier he seeks to grow in spirit and return to the kingdom of heaven, from where he came to this world. This earth is a school, a farmland, a workplace and a training college, where the children of God stay to realize what they are, Just as a bird stays inside the egg, to develop into a true bird.

Both the singers and the players on instruments say,

"All my springs are in you." Psalm 87:7

The expression, “All my springs…” Meaning that all the qualities and powers of God are inherent in a man. The same is true of woman.

Generally, it is disappointing that even in this end time, after so many years and several reincarnations, people still do not recognize their Lord and Saviour, because they are spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy. They failed to study and practise Spiritual Science. They want revelations, but have not prepared themselves for great things of the spirit, and are not ready for great revelations about heaven and salvation. Blessed, exceedingly, is he who seeks for the Truth and continues to seek until he finds.

The FirstSon

… do you say of Him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the FirstSon of God’? John 10:36

The expression, FirstSon, simply means direct from the original dna the same as the original; complete and perfect as the original.

Co-Existence Of Spirits

… believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” John 10:38

Two or more spirits can exist in the same place or thing, just as different types of light can shine inside one room.

The Consequences Of Not Knowing Jesus Christ

You should know that the failure to know Jesus and the failure to believe in Him, have the same consequences for not recognizing Jesus Christ and for not supporting His works and ministry.

Number 1, the person is spiritually blind, ignorant and lazy.

Number 2, the person suffers spiritual downfall.

Number 3, the person experiences spiritual backwardness.

Number 4, all these bad consequences become worse from day to day.

Number 5, if you do not make the necessary efforts to find and follow Jesus, you may miss the way and fail to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Number 6, it is true that Jesus warned humanity against false prophets and fake Christ. But, He never said that the true Christ will not be in the midst of humanity. His warning simply means that you should avoid the false Christ to find the true Christ.

Therefore, the fact that many people claim to be Jesus, giving this fact as your reason for not knowing and following the true Christ, is not an excuse acceptable in heaven. You should go into prayers, and also observe quiet time and meditation, to inquire from God, for you to know and follow the true Jesus Christ. This is a very important duty which everybody should for himself, and none can do that for another.
