Y
THERE IS NO LONGER THE VERITABLE TESTIMONY TODAY BECAUSE
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE ENGAGEMENT ON THE BANKS OF THE
WATER TO DIE WITH CHRIST, TO RESUSCITATE WITH HIM, AND TO LIVE FOR
HIM ARE STILL LIVING FOR THE FUTURE OF THEIR STOMACH,
OF THEIR CHILDREN AND FAMILY.
It is the 355th message.
How can the testimony of Christ come from those ones who say to have been baptised in Christ, to have put him on, but who rather still live for the future of their stomach, of their children and their family as if they still had to live for themselves? For it is said: “and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised” (2 Corinthians 5/15). Today, the people say to testify Christ, but they still live and suffer for the future of their stomach, of their children and family. I ask myself if we have taken the engagement to bury the life of our flesh and his future in order to make our soul to live by providing to his future, how can we still live for the future of our stomach, of our children and family? That is even why the Lord Jesus says: “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple” (Luke 14/26).
To hate his father, his mother, his sister, his wife, his children and his own life is to prefer the Lord to all of them. That is why there is not a great presence of God when the people gather themselves while saying that it is in the name of Christ; and it is also the reason for which the devil cannot tremble on his side. As such, he is gaining the field more and more without having the veritable opponents who are the men of God. There are only hunters of demons in the bodies who are also hunters of money in the pockets. They say to the people who have demons: “demon, come out of this body”, and in the same way, they also say to those who have money: “money, come out of this pocket”.
In truth, it is pitiful and it hurts a lot in the heart to see the multiple of people who know that they have taken the engagement, who know that they have been baptised and believe to testify Christ with zeal, without understanding or listening and knowing the truth that must set them free from the ignorance. They recognise themselves to no longer be slaves of the sin, but rather free, meanwhile they are slaves of the future of their stomach, of their children and family. To understand that Christ is not victorious in us, it is when we are always saying: “if I also make like this, I run the risk to lose my life, if I put more of my time and my material to bring the people to know the truth near or far and to become saved, or to know the richness of the kingdom of heaven and to be freed from the spiritual poverty, I run the risk to lose my life, the future of my children will be in danger, as well as that of my family”. We have not yet lose our life and we say that we are living for the Lord or that we are testifying him. That is even why the affection, the attachment, the sacrifice, the time, the material, all what we have and all what we do for him represents only 10% at a maximum meanwhile we have taken the engagement that it is no longer us that are living, but rather Christ; meanwhile we still belong to ourselves at 90%. That is why what we are for Christ and what we do for him cannot even make the devil to tremble, and there cannot even be a great presence of God when the people are gathered in church. If the people who are gathered are at a maximum of 10% for the Lord and at 90% for themselves, how can there be a great presence of God in the middle of them?
In truth, the people did not die for the future of this world in order to live the future of the kingdom of heaven; they did not die in the fleshly glory and greatness or of the appearance and the material in order to live in the glory, in the greatness and richness of the kingdom of heaven. They did not die in order to prefer to become poor in the flesh and to live in the enrichment of the poor souls; they did not die in the fear of the physical death in order to live in the fear of the spiritual death; they did not die in the pity of those who lack the material in order to live in the pity of those who are not spiritually rich.
In truth, how do the people still living for their fleshly future think to accomplish or make advance the work of God? How do they still live for the future of their flesh and believe to testify God? In truth, if Christ gained a place in us or found a house in us for dwelling, therefore, we would not live or do things for ourselves at 90%. But when we remain in our corrupted prayer and we say: “Lord, I should decrease, and you should be the only one to increase, I should disappear, and you should be the only one who has to appear”. We say it while still living and seeking our own future. That is why we always say: “If I do not do this thing, my future, the future of my children, the future of my family will be how?”
What have we become for Christ and for the kingdom of heaven? If we died in him in order to live with him, we would do everything in the name of the soul, and the flesh would profit behind it; we would do everything in the name of the Lord, our children and our family would benefit behind this. That is why we always say: “it is for my children that I wake up early in the morning, that I walk under the rain and under the sun, it is for them that I cultivate, that I make a business, that I work…” and when it is for the men or in the name of the men that we do these things, we face difficulties to succeed and there are many blockages. Meanwhile if it was in the name of the Lord and for him, it would have succeeded and prospered a lot. It is like today, when we reserve money, we do not reserve it for the Lord, but for the diseases; and the demons of the diseases always come to take their due. The Lord himself says to the demons of the diseases: “this money is not reserved for my work, but for the cases of diseases, therefore, it is for you” and the disease comes and take what belongs to him.
In truth, looking at what we are today, the power of God cannot even explode in the middle of us because it is not in the name of the Son that we are gathered in truth. That is even why most men of God go and seek the power of Satan in certain renowned countries in order to make prayers of miracles, visions and prophecies, instead of seeking the veritable power in the knowledge of the truth. In truth, there are not the people who carry a strong light in this century so that through this light of the Lord in them, the others should become enlightened, just because the people still live for themselves. Apostle Paul says: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2/20).
And if our glory, greatness, richness and life were in Christ, we would thus seek our future in him, and this century would be full of the glory of God because there are many pastors, evangelists, priests, prophets, apostles, doctors, bishops, archbishops, cardinals, pioneers…, many buildings and denominations taken for church, and religious radio and television channels. But who have died in him in his life, his richness, his glory, his greatness and has resuscitated to live for the Lord bywanting and seeking everything for him? For it is even said: “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3/3). How can the testimony be made in this century when those who say to be spiritually alive envy the spiritual deaths, preferring to be in their place because of the material and the glory of the earth that they possess? In truth, the people will fast even for thousands of years, praying loudly with authority while praying God like the prophets of Baal, for they will not be in the presence and power of that one who we were to becomebecause we do everything for him at a limit of 10%.
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)
