DIVINE MESSAGES
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
Our LORD Jesus Christ said that “ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment”. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? (1 Corinthians 1: 9-13 KJV).
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3: 5-11 KJV).
And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star (Revelation 2: 26-28 KJV).
In this life, our primary assignments as human beings are to serve God and make good impacts in the lives of people. Whatever we have today is for us to serve God with it and also make good impacts in the lives of people with it. The talent that our LORD Jesus Christ used as a parable is a good illustration of it, He said that someone was given five talents, and he gained more talents when he used the five talents well, likewise the person He gave two talents, but the person He gave one talent failed to use his own talent, he went and hide his own talent, and he got the repercussions of it.
It is written that “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”. Meaning that you will know the kind of person everybody is through the kind of impacts that they are making and the kind of things that they are promoting. So the fruit of every talent is the service to God and making good impacts in the lives of people.
Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, LORD, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer Him, saying, LORD, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal (Matthew 25: 37- 46 KJV).
ANGER OF GOD
TEXT: Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath (Psalm 90:11 KJV).
No one knows the power of the anger of God, for His fear is according to His wrath. But from the past generations, we know that if God is angry with something or someone or some people or a nation due to their behaviour or action, He may decide to punish them by sending harsh treatment to them and also bring their fears upon them or curse them or even destroy them. (Isaiah 66: 4) (Deuteronomy 5: 6-9) (Deuteronomy 28: 15-45) (Hebrews 4: 5-6) (Psalm 28: 5).
