THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST 2 (The Relevance of the Christian)
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing , but to be
cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid . Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16 KJV
We have five types of
people in the world. Below are the list.
1. The Children of God
2. The Creatures of God.
3. The Children of the
Devil
4. The angels of God and
5. The minions of the
devil.
The children of God are
those who are born of the Holy Spirit. These people are washed by the blood of
Jesus Christ. Their names are recorded in the Lamb's book of life. The creatures (human beings) of God are those created by God, but have not surrendered their life to Jesus
Christ. The children of the devil are human beings who have covenanted with the
devil to serve him all the days of their life. For example, the vicious occult
group, the magicians, evil traditional priests, the Satanist, the sorcerers, the
magicians, the illuminates, and the secret demonic groups.
The angels of God are
spiritual beings created by God to serve Him and His children. The minions of the
devil are spiritual beings who serve and follow the instructions of the devil. They
can possess human beings, animals, hijack territories and posses the tangible
things (trees, buildings, and objects) and they are in categories. All these forces and people live in the world. Scientists
have discovered that we have nine planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto).
- The earth realm.
- The spiritual world.
- The Metaphysical world.
- The animal world.
- The water world and
- The underworld.
The spiritual world is
the abode of spiritual beings. It is a world of the spirits. We have God’s
kingdom (Heaven). There are different departments in Heaven. We have the third heavens (the abode of God, His angels
and the saints). The second heavens (the abode of wicked demonic forces) and the first heavens (the sky, the stars and where we can see the moon and other planetary objects). The metaphysical realm
is the realm of the soul and psychics. The underworld is another realm of Satan, his minions and dead sinners (creatures of God who died in their sin). The earth realm is the
abode of human beings, which includes the animal world.
Jesus said we are the
light and the salt of this world. This means we control the entire world. Light provides vision and enables us to see hidden things. Without
light, we cannot see in the darkness. Without Christians, the world will be
full of calamity, evil, and corruption. Our presence makes the creatures of God
and other entities see the glory of God. Every Christian must know these
truths.
- We are the hope of this world.
- Our life is a miracle to the world.
- We are the pacesetters of this world.
- Without us, the world will be full of hopelessness and confusion.
- Our presence breaks the
power of darkness because the Greater
light (Holy Spirit) lives in us. - Our presence brings joy to the world.
- Our presence brings the power of God to the world.
- Our presence brings hope to the world.
- We are the directors of this world.
- We are the leaders of this world.
- We are governors of this world.
- We are the managers of this world.
- We are Kings and the Priests of this world.
- We are the controllers of this world.
- We are the ministers of this world.
The reason many
people are suffering in this world is that we have allowed the creatures of God
to be the light of this world. This is not how God intended it! We are the
light of this world! We are supposed to lead every organization. We have
allowed the creatures of God to dominate the high position of this world and it
is affecting us. JESUS SAID WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THIS WORLD.
The government must rest
upon the shoulders of Jesus Christ (the church). Christians must take every
leadership position because we are the light of this world. Without us, there
will be corruption and wickedness. We have the power of Jesus
Christ to enforce the will of God because of our dominion mandate ( See Genesis 1:26-28).
We can command the
spiritual world to defend us because we are the light. We have Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the Holy Spirit without a body and He lives in us. The Holy
Spirit is absent in the creatures of God. If we don’t rise as one people and apply
wisdom, the creatures of God will lead us into destruction.
Some Christians may argue
that we are not of this world. Remember, we are living in this world. Every
decision the creatures of God makes in this world will affect us whether or not
we like it. War, corruption and injustice prevail in most countries
because the creatures of God are the ones leading. Jesus said we are the light
of this world. This world, not any other world.
Jesus is talking about
this world. We are perishing and facing injustice because of ignorance (See
Hosea 4:6). God wants to establish His kingdom on earth. The constitution of the Word (Holy Bible) must lead every family, country and organization because the Word contains the perfect constitution (the Word contains moral,
spiritual and intellectual principles).
Most countries accept
lesbianism, abortion, gay marriage and other immoral practices because of
human rights. We must take dominion through prayers, the principles of God’s
Word and godly leadership. We must take the leadership position. If we allow
the creatures to take the leadership position, the kingdom of God will not
prevail on earth.
People will continue to
suffer in the hands of the wicked if we don’t take responsibility. The wicked
will continue to abuse the innocent if we don’t take responsibility. The Word
of God is the will of God. It is written in the Word. WE ARE THE LIGHT OF
THIS WORLD.
Prophet Isaiah prophesied
that the government shall rest upon the shoulders of Jesus Christ.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given :
and THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
This means, every
leadership, constitution and family must rest on the leadership of the Word (the Church).
The Christians must occupy the high seats of this world because we will the ones to decide. If every nation's constitution rests on the authority of God’s Word (Holy
Bible), there will be peace, unity and development. Remember, this will not happen
until godly Christians take every leadership position in the country.
We are the salt of this
world. Salt gives taste to our food. Without salt, the food will be tasteless.
This means we are the joy of this world. You don’t need a large amount of salt
to make your food taste good. You need a little drop of salt to bring out the
taste of the food. We don’t need many Christians to enforce (intercession)
the will of God on earth.
We need Christians who
are full of faith and divine love. These
two virtues combined activate the power of God. When we pray in agreement, God
will intervene. We must earnestly
intercede for those in authority because if we fail to intercede for the world and
those in leadership positions, the world will be full of darkness (See 1 Timothy 2:1-4).
