INTERPELATION OF THE LORD JESUS: ARE WE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE WE FIGHT AGAINST SIN OR BECAUSE WE LOVE IT AND FIGHT AGAINST OUR FELLOW MAN?
It is the 613thmessage.
The lord Jesus left his glory in heaven to take the human form, becoming similar to man in the flesh and appeared like a simple man, he sacrificed himself up to death on the cross because of our sin and for the love that he has for our souls. In these end times, he awakens us, he enlightens us and warns us against sin that he has carried, overcome and destroyed for us so that we should not be deprived from salvation, or for our souls to not be deprived from the eternal rest in the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord Jesus came the first time to sacrifice himself by carrying our sins, he will come for the second time for those who are waiting him in the righteousness, justice, mercy and holiness for the salvation of their souls.
That is even why it is said: “so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him” (Hebrews 9/28). The Lord Jesus has overcome the devil, and willing to see us victorious in the fight that we have against the devil during the time that we still have to live on earth, he reveals us all the cunning and fighting techniques of the devil. The Lord Jesus has promised us a place on his throne, but it can only happen if we are victorious, that is why he tells us: “The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne” (Revelation 3/21).
In truth, the devil through his cunning brings us to confuse our enemy and opponent; he turns us away from the true battle which is against him (the devil) and put us in a conflict with our fellowman that we take for our enemy. Sin which is the devil is what we like and commit. That is why in this generation, the man fights more against his fellowman and thus, commits more sin which is his veritable enemy. When we fight against one another because we are enemies, sin becomes our pleasure. Sin or the devil entered the world through one man, and it has produced death in man’s soul. As such, the men who came out of a sinner all inherited sin; that is why it is said: “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned” (Romans 5/12). Since all of us have committed sin, we were deprived of life or the glory of God as it is said: “ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3/23).
In truth, all the Christians should know that sin is greater, stronger and more powerful than man. Sin dominates the world, even great men of God before us who were making great miracles, defeating strong men, but they were unable to overcome sin. I take the example of King David who was physically strong, he defeated Goliath, for it is said: “ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. There was no sword in the hand of David. Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled” (1 Samuel 17/50-51), but he was unable to overcome sin. Moses had power to divide the red sea into two as it is written: “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left” (Exodus 14/21-22).
But he was unable to overcome sin. Elijah the prophet had power to bring down fire from heaven, for it is said: “Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty men with his fifty. He went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “O man of God, the king says, ‘Come down.’” But Elijah answered the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty . Again the king sent to him another captain of fifty men with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, “O man of God, this is the king's order, ‘Come down quickly!’”But Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty” (2 Kings 1/9-12), but he was unable to overcome sin. Therefore, nobody was able to overcome sin that was dominating the men or the world and that was preventing souls to live.
Who was able to take away sin that was upon us, or who was able to save us from this sin if not the Lord Jesus Christ alone who, by love and mercy came to save us. That is why before he was coming on earth, the angel of God announced to Joseph that the child who will come from Mary will be called Jesus, for he is the one who will save the world from his sin as it is written: “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1/21). The Lord Jesus is the only one who takes away sin upon men and that prevent them from being righteous before God. That is why John the Baptist seeing the Lord Jesus, recognised him and said: “...Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1/29). We must bless and not curse the person who persecute us, who does not want to see us live and be in good health, who does not want us to have a job or what to feed on... that is why the Lord Jesus says: “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them” (Romans 12/14). Who is then our enemy that we must hate? Is it man or sin? Because men are victims of what their fellowmen make them suffer. Man takes his fellowman to be his enemy while forgetting his veritable enemy who is the sin. This state of ignorance has resulted to the high rate of evil in this generation.
Jealousy, pride, contempt, divisions, snitching, hatred, calumnies, insults, lies, adultery, fornication, fake, corruption, embezzlement, stealing, robbing, attacks, magic, witchcraft, murders... are our friends, but we have to know that all these are our enemies in truth because they destroy us and prevent our soul to live. The bad works that we accomplish give glory, greatness, power, richness and satisfaction to our fleshly body, but impoverish, humiliate, defile and maintain our souls in malediction and eternal death. In truth, if sin is fought in churches like the spirits of celibacy, unemployment, misery, drought, impossibility, limitation and blockage are fought, there will be a brake of evil. The men of God have power to fight against evil spirits and to overcome them, but they do not have power to overcome sin.
Some men of God drunk of adultery go up to touching and even seeing sensible and private parts of women; and it is illustrated on the first page. It is for these men of God that it is written: “They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children!” (2 Peter 2/14).
To God is the glory, praise by Jesus Christ our saviour for the eternity.
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)
