Y
AS THERE WERE THE JEWS OF THE LAW AND THE JEWS OF THE FAITH
YESTERDAY IN THE TIME OF THE APOSTLES, THERE ARE ALSO THE
CHRISTIANS OF THE LAW AND THE CHRISTIANS OF THE FAITH
TODAY; AND IT IS TIME TO READ, TO UNDERSTAND AND
TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE
It is the 328th message
The revelation of the Lord Jesus, source of knowledge, power and truth from above have been given to me so that the people of this century should know and become free from the ignorance and the powerlessness. In truth, as there were the Jews of the law and the Jews of the faith yesterday in the time of the apostles, as well as today, there are also the Christians of the law and the Christians of the faith
Since the donation of the alliance of the circumcision of the flesh to Abraham for his offspring by the Eternal God, and that of the law and the blood of bulls and goats to Moses in the desert as the alliance with the people of Israel, this people respected literally the alliance of the circumcision and the obedience to the law of Moses and this was done up to the rule of Rehoboam. But, from the moment Rehoboam was still king, the word of the Eternal God was to be accomplished under his reign as he said to Solomon while he was still living in his old age. As he has not kept his alliance and his laws like David his father did, the Eternal God will take away the reign from him and will give it to his servant, but he will not do it when he is still alive just because of David his father, but he will do it during the reign of his son. Because of David and his town Jerusalem, he will leave a tribe to his son (1 Kings 11/11-13). Ten tribes will then be taken from Rehoboam son of Solomon for the accomplishment of the word of the Eternal God and given to Jeroboam old servant of Solomon.
As soon as Jeroboam takes the reign of the ten tribes, he made two golden calves and said to the ten tribes that were under his reign that they will no longer go to Jerusalem to worship God and he presented the golden calves to them as the God who brought them out of Egypt. Ten tribes will then prostrate in front of their new god. He placed one of these golden calves in Bethel and the other one in Dan, and he appointed the priests on a 15th of August, and who make the service or who are the mediators between the people and the monuments, and this had effect till today. This day remains a great day of feast and of joy because it is on this day that they have seen the day; but since the chameleon changes colours and not the form, they have changed the celebration of the 15th of August to the celebration of the rising of Mary in heaven (Assumption day). Meanwhile, the chameleon is not recognised by its colour, but rather by its form or shape (1 King 12/28-33).
The Lord Jesus is born in Bethlehem in the town and tribe of David according to the flesh. He grew in Nazareth were he started to teach the faith. He was less received and less loved. He choses twelve disciples called apostles, among whom Judas who was to betray him. The Lord Jesus will then be delivered in the hands of the chief priests; Judas will then hang himself after recognising his fault. The apostles remained eleven in number from the death, the resurrection up to the rising of the Lord Jesus in heaven. Willing another person to replace Judas according to what is written, they would draw lots on two people who were accompanying them and they were Barnabas and Mathias, but the lot fell on Mathias who replaced Judas so that the number of the apostles should come back to twelve.
After they had received the Holy Spirit, they started working in Jerusalem. Not willing to leave Jerusalem for Judea, Samaria to go and preach the good news up to the extremities of the earth as they have received the recommendations from the Lord Jesus, they were persecuted and these persecutions made them to disperse everywhere to announce the good news. The chief orchestra of this persecution was Saul who later on became Paul. They all announced the faith because they were no longer Jews of the law but rather Jews of the faith. The Jews of the law were saying to them: if somebody is not circumcised according to the rite of Moses, he cannot be saved (Acts 15/1). From this, the Jews of the faith were answering that the Jew; the veritable Jew is not one outwardly, he who strikes the eye, but it is the one inwardly, and the circumcision is not the one that is visible in the flesh, but it is that of the heart according to the spirit and not according to the human customs and others (Romans 2/28-29).
The Jews of the law who were seeing themselves to be saved by the law found that those who were teaching the faith were only sectarians and followers of their founder Jesus of Nazareth; the sower of divisions. That is why when they held apostle Paul, they treated him as a sectarian of the Nazarenes and in the same time, they wanted to judge him according to their law, that is why they have said: “For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: Who also had gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.” (Acts 24/5-6). It was the same thing when they held the Lord Jesus; they judged him according to their law. That is why in their law; he was to be killed because according to them, he had blasphemed against God. That is even why it is said: “When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God” (John 19/6-7).
The Jews of the law were preventing the faith to be announced in Jerusalem, and they were threatening the apostles by telling them: “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us” (Acts 5/28) or as it is said: “So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus” (Acts 4/18). The Jews of the law did not want the faith to be announced that is why they held all those who were announcing it. That is why the tribune beard witness to Felix the Governor concerning Apostle Paul when he said to him: “This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman citizen. And desiring to know the charge for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their council. I found that he was being accused about questions of their law, but charged with nothing deserving death or imprisonment” (Acts 23/27-29). And Felix the Governor gave account to king AGRIPPA when he said: “When the accusers stood up, they brought no charge in his case of such evils as I supposed. Rather they had certain points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive” (Acts 25/18-19).
Apostle Paul bearing witness of these Jews of the law said: “who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!” (1 Thessalonians 2/15-16). The Lord Jesus spoke of these Jews who have previously killed the apostles… and wanted to bring them in the faith in him, but they have refused as it is said: “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Luke 13/34). These Jews refused the faith and they have preferred to stay in the law as priests or doctors of the law. After the death of the apostles, the doctors of the law or priests became the universal church, in the year 607, the universal bishop of Rome was named pope, few years later, the universal church was now called catholic church, and the pope declared himself to be the representative of Apostle Peter.
In the 7th century, Islam saw the day in Saudi Arabia and many Jews became attached to this belief to the detriment of the faith in Christ which must save them. The catholic church became implanted everywhere in the world. Arriving in Africa, principally in Cameroon in the night of the 24th and the 25th of October 1890, the adepts of this doctrine were carrying the bible in which is written the gospel of the teaching of the truth , but they rather taught their customs, not willing that the people should read the bible in order to discover the truth. They were teaching the people how to pray Mary, to pray with the rosary… and many of these doctrines called church today arise from this doctrine. In America, certain people have risen and they say that they are rather witnesses of Jehovah and not Jesus, but they have writings where neither the prophets nor Jesus himself or the apostles who are his first witnesses never spoke of Jehovah. Some say that they are pentecostal Christians. Others again say that they are Branham’s Christians; the belief in Branham. But if Paul, Peter, John…were also in the law, they would also have adepts like Branham in the law. What makes that today, the knowledge of the faith is very rare because the people are not in the faith in Christ, but rather in the law and they are rather Christians of the law and not of the faith.
Therefore, being Christians of the law, all what concerns God, his value, his greatness, his glory, his richness… is found in the appearance… they are not Christians of the faith to seek for the glory and the richness of one person (Christ), but they are rather Christians of the law that is why they seek for the glory of man, the material and make divisions, wars, the conquest of people (believers) for their offerings and tithes, making challenges for the construction of great buildings called churches or houses of God, the purchasing of fields, radio and television channels as well as the broadcasting, thus bringing people to suffer in the searching and the donation of money for these challenges of madness. The faith is not taught in the pastoral schools or seminaries so that those who come out from them should come and teach it in return. That is why the Christians of today are only Christians of the law and they have filled the world, and the evil is not worried, but it keeps on rising or taking roots more and more. The people being dominated by the glory of man and the material as well as the human charge that weigh on them, the men and the material can only be their gods.
The Christians of the law are too far from running behind the demonstration of the power of the word of creation or of truth which through the practice brings them to become the gods; to become the miracle, but they are rather behind the prayers of miracles and the materials said blessed or spiritual, they are behind the recitation of psalms. The Christians of the law call or are called “papa”, “my father”, “my lord”. In the law, they have the love of the blood, the skin colour, the spoken language and the tribe. The Christians of the faith are too rare because the faith is not announced for it to be known, because in the faith, we are disciple or believer of only one person known as the Lord Jesus; in the faith we are not Christian of a denomination or of a man. In the faith, we are disciple of Jesus Christ, and eating his body to become this body (Jesus Christ), we become Christian of the faith. Only the Lord Jesus is called “my father”, “papa” and “my Lord”. Being Christian of the faith, the value, the greatness, the glory and the richness are not found in the brain like the intellectual luggage, in the skin colour, in the spoken language, in the form or the beauty of the flesh, in clothes, in shoes, in money and other materials, but rather in the heart and the spirit of God.
Being Christian of the faith, even if we do not have children or other people in charge, we have a load which is the Lord and the advancement of his good news. Being Christian of the faith, what we search and gain is firstly for the Lord and his god news and not for our own children, our wife, our father, our mother… Being Christian of the faith, we do not run behind prayers of miracle, but we rather run behind the demonstration of the power of truth, we do not spend much money in the building for God’s house, but in the endowment of the spiritual documentation which is to make these documents to freely reach people near or far so that they should be edified in the word and thus become a dwelling of God in spirit (Ephesians 2/22). Being Christian of the faith, we do not ask money to people for a prayer of healing, of grace, of blessing… and again, we do not take a material by saying that it is spiritual or blessed… Being Christian of the faith, the gift of our brother or sister is the gift of God and also our gift, and to be jealous of it is to destroy oneself. When we are Christian of the faith, the fear is spiritual and not physical, and we do not share in order to make pleasure to the physical man, but to the spiritual man who the Lord Jesus is. Being Christian of the faith, we do not love his children, his wife, his sister, his brother, his father, his mother more than the work of God; we have more the feeling and the pity by the spirit and not by the physic and it is the lack in the spirit which makes us to cry, to lament and to become sad, and not the lack in the flesh.
The Christians of the faith mourn for someone who is dead in the spirit and who can still come back to life, and not somebody who is dead in the flesh. In the faith, it is the good news which makes our presence and it is because of it that we can leave everything behind us without any regret. We remain poor in the physic because we give all what we possess so that people should be able to read the teaching of the faith and become saved in their soul. Therefore, we prefer to become poor in the physic so that others should become spiritually rich. In the faith, we can abandon everything for the good news of the kingdom of heaven. In the faith, the shame does not come because of the lack of knowledge to speak and to write an official language, the lack of a material, what to eat, what to wear, but rather on the fact of being poor in the spirit. There are many illustrations on this subject but I will stop there for the moment.
CHAMPI Apostle not behalf of man, nor by a man but by Jesus Christ and God the Father. God’s power is the knowledge. To know, avoid sin and to be free from the eternal death. (John 8/32)
