The
Righteous Jealousy
Of
Apostle
Mary Magdalene
By
The
Twelve Apostles
Mary Magdalene Was One Of The Apostles
By Apostle Thomas
She was among the Apostles, Disciples and Saints. She was
making efforts. Whatever that was asked to be done, herself joined in doing so.
During our lifetime, we thought that it was not necessary
that women joined in the work. That was why it was embarrassing, confusing and
shame to us, when she joined us to do God’s work. We thought that she supposed
to stay aside.
It was true that she was following Jesus Christ about. She
was staying in our midst and doing various works, which the women should do,
because ourselves were very far from home.
She was moving about, giving various teachings, giving
various corrections, but ourselves were seeing it that it was not her work. Herself was among the Apostles.
Many people whom you humanity do not know were among the
Apostles, but the Twelve Apostles were counted out, selected. And many people
were disciples, and were also teachers of the law. But all these facts were not
written.
Jealousy For Restoration
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, many people do say that Mary
Magdalene has various characters. Many people do say that she is jealous, and
many are telling various stories. But herself later
became an apostle…
Mary
Magdalene has reincarnated here on earth. Many people are judging her
characters according to what they see. But ourselves
do not judge.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, who is Mary Magdalene in this
present and modern generation?
The Head: It is Ngozi Nwachukwu.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, many, many, many
are having doubts. Many people, after ourselves have spoken, they send their
time discerning the messages.
In your
presence, they believe the messages. But inside their hearts, they do not
believe.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what is the cause?
Doubt pulls
somebody down and behind – spiritual downfall.
True Meaning Of
Jealousy
Son of man,
Mary Magdalene committed adultery. They say that she is jealous. They complain
that she does this and does that. She does this and that. Ourselves
are asking,
She is
jealous?
Or, is what
she is doing not jealousy?
Apostle Matthew: What do you people call somebody who is
contending for something..?
The Head: Jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, when she dances, what do yourself
notice?
The Head: She dances with joyfulness and gladness of
heart, and adds dance styles to her dance. She dances like somebody who is
proud of God. She dances like somebody which is kicking things away from her
sides.
Apostle Matthew: She dances with jealousy. If you observe her
dances, she dances like somebody who is struggling to keep another person away.
She dances as if contending, are you the person to go before me?
Myself
must stand at the front.
The Head: What you said are true. Even so in her
speeches, and the way she calls her names – as if struggling to stand and be
noticed in the public…
Apostle Matthew: In heaven, many of the DivineBase congregation
are there. What people call jealousy is not jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what is jealousy?
The Head: In Igbo language, jealousy means “ekworo”. If somebody wants to come and sit in a chair, the
person sitting there before will resist. If the second person is already
sitting in the chair, the first person will want the person to get away, so
that himself will continue sitting in the chair.
Apostle Matthew: But why did God the Father said that He is a
jealous God?
God said it
for humanity to understand God’s behaviour, for humanity
to understand who they should worship God. For people to know that they should
give God undivided attention. If God were jealous in the way He said it in the
holy book, there shall be nobody remaining here in earth, no idol shall exist,
and humanity shall not remain on earth. But God said it for humanity to know
that it is God that they should give their undivided attention to.
Son of man,
you have to explain it to the children of God in this same way, because many of
the people who call God various names do not know the meanings of the names.
Son of man, humanity call God a jealous God.
The Head: Humanity should not be calling God the name,
jealous God, because God through Father is not like that.
Apostle Matthew: Because God Himself said that He is a jealous
God.
The Head: People do not understand what God the Father
was telling them.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, themselves do not know that there
is something called righteous jealousy.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, if somebody is struggling for
something is going on, he strives to recover and restore what is being taken
away. Is that jealousy?
The Head: It is not jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: And if he succeeds in getting that thing, he
will hold it, keep it.
The Head: That is not jealousy, because it is right for
him to contend for that thing, it is right for him to recover that thing.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, that is why God the Father called
Himself a jealous God – somebody who recovers and restores what has being lost
or removed. Many misunderstand the statement made by God, and they because of
that use it the bad form of jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, ourselves…concerning that person,
Mary Magdalene. If humanity do not believe that she is Mary Magdalene,
themselves shall not leave, because many are judging her. All her jealousy is
not sin. Many of things that humanity call sins are not sins, because ourselves
are explaining the word, jealousy, in the right way. There is something called
righteous jealousy, and there is ordinary jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, jealousy, the bad type, is called
envy.
The Head: Thanks be to God, who make us to understand.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what is jealousy?
Number 1,
if somebody is doing something, and another person wants to learn the same
thing and do it. People say that the second person is jealous. What ourselves
want to … explain the word, jealousy, because it is a problem to the children
of God . It is hard for the children of God to
explain.
A woman is
cooking a delicious food. Another woman is learning how to do the same. After
learning it, she goes to cook the same food. The first woman says that the
second woman is jealous.
The Head: Such is not jealousy. It is a good training
learnt. A person is expected to learn what is good from another person.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself have a dress and I ask
you, how much did you buy it?
You
answered, N10,000.
And the person who asked, went and started making efforts, and bought the same
dress. Do you know what the children of God will say, “You see. He is jealous.
Everything that I do, he goes to do the same.”
The Head: That is not being jealous.
Apostle Matthew: It brings … quarrels, misunderstandings,
enmity,
Son of man,
many are …
There are
some people whom ourselves have taught something, and said to the person, tis
thing is yours. Go and take it.” As he is making efforts to take that thing,
other people call it jealousy. He is making efforts, making efforts and making
efforts, and we encourage him.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: Is it jealousy?
The Head: No, it is not jealousy.
Apostle Matthew: That is what ourselves have taught the person.
Heavenly Jealousy
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, teach them what is jealousy. Also,
teach them what envy is.
Ourselves,
if we hear that somebody is jealous, it means that the person is making
efforts, to get something and to do something, just as the first person has
succeeded in getting it.
Apostle Matthew: What do ourselves call jealousy?
Ourselves
may see you, like the dress you are wearing. Ourselves
will say, “We are jealous of your dress.”
What do ourselves mean?
The Head: It means that yourself shall go and make
efforts, to get the same dress and wear it.
Apostle Matthew: Son of man, jealousy of the bad type, is
planning evil, planning to kill the person wearing the dress.
The Head: Or, planning to do a bad thing to the person
wearing the dress.
What is it
called?
The Head: It is called wickedness or envy.
Apostle Matthew: Envy.
Son of man,
the children of God have to inquire about many things. The ministers of God
have to know many explanations and the meanings of many words.
The Head: Yes.
Apostle Matthew: And they should know how ourselves, the Hosts
of Angels and Saints of heaven, are making righteous judgments, because various
nations are coming. As the nations shall come to DivineBase ministers, even so
shall various words come – have to be explained. In
the midst of two persons, there must be at least one judge.
