JESUS THE CHRIST MINISTRIES

The full Counsel Newsletter- No4


 

THESE PEOPLE DRAW NEAR TO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH AND HONOUR ME WITH THEIR LIPS BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME…AND IN VAIN…THEY WORSHIP ME TEACHING AS DOCTRINES…THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. ......Matthew 15:8,9.

MAN OR SON OF MAN...THIS IS THE QUESTION!

The first man…Adam, gives us all a basic understanding on whom man prefers to please first and foremost. If you thought it was women well you’re spot on, exactly right!

The decision that Adam made in the garden of Eden wasn’t only and solely to please the women but there was also something in it for him…hence there was a selfish streak there as well as a disobedient streak found in the first man…Adam!

  Therefore, I dare say that when we are born, that is everyone that comes from the womb of a women…we have deposited in us all, the instinct to look after number one…that is me!

  Are Christians and leaders of churches today in Australia more like the first Adam or the second Adam?…me or Him?

  AND SO IT IS WRITTEN…THE FIRST MAN ADAM BECAME A LIVING BEING…THE LAST ADAM BECAME A LIFE GIVING SPIRIT…THE FIRST MAN WAS OF THE EARTH MADE OF DUST, THE SECOND MAN IS THE LORD FROM HEAVEN......1 CORINTHIANS 15:45,47.

  Now I know why I used to sing “My old man’s a dustman he wears a dustman’s hat!” Before I met Jesus that was one of my top ten when I used to crawl home from the local pub…GODS GRACE IS AMAZING!

  Most professing Christians and church leaders today still behave as the sons of men rather than the sons of GOD. The first Adam offers a tastier road, with less conflict. Disobedience always brings an easier flesh life and a dead spiritual life but – obedience to GOD will always without fail place you in the presence of the ALMIGHTY. Jesus was known as the Son of Man!…would we rather follow man or the Son of Man?...1 SAMUEL 12:12.
                                                                                                                                                                                               If you want to follow Jesus The Son of Man…you must put your wife and yourself in second place and third place respectively…this is a hard thing to do without faith!…Selah.

  FOR YOU ARE ALL SONS OF GOD THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS...GALATIANS 3:26.

 Only a true son of GOD puts all their trust in what the Bible says and lives accordingly, without partiality!

  CURSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN MAN AND MAKES MAN HIS STRENGTH…WHOSE HEART DEPARTS FROM THE LORD.......JEREMIAH 17:5.

 Self-pleaser, man pleaser, woman pleaser or GOD pleaser? Enoch had this testimony, he pleased GOD!

  AND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH WHO IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD…THAT IN ALL THINGS…HE MAY HAVE THE PRE-EMINENCE...COLOSSIANS 1:18.
