BUT OUR LORD J ESUS CHRI ST DOES NOT SAY ANYTHI NG. HE I S DOI NG HI S WORK, ORDERLY. THERE I S NOTHI NG THE CHURCH DENOMI NATI ONS HAVE NOT DONE TO ME. YOU ARE AWARE OF WHAT THEY SAY WHENEVER THEY COME I N HERE, AND THEY ARE NEI THER J ESUS NOR HI S BROTHER, NOR KNOW WHERE HE COMES FROM. A MAN WHO SUFFERS FROM HERNI A DOES NOT COMPLAI N OF PAI NS BUT THE NEI GHBOUR COMPLAI NS OF SLEEPLESSNESS BECAUSE OF HI S PAI N.

DO NOT SEEK AFTER MANS GLORY Do you not r emember w hen Our Lor d J esus Chr i st made br ead f or t he peopl e and t hey at e t o t hei r sat i sf ac t i on.

WHEN OUR LORD J ESUS CHRI ST PERCEI VED THAT THEY WOULD COME AND TAKE HI M BY FORCE TO MAKE HI M KI NG, HE DEPARTED FROM THEM AND HI D HI MSELF. (J ohn 6:15) WHY DI D HE RUN AWAY? HAVE YOU FOUND WHY HE WAS DELI VERI NG HI S MESSAGES I N PARABLES? HE DI D NOT SEEK AFTER ANY GLORY FROM MAN BUT AFTER THE GLORY OF GOD BECAUSE THE GLORI ES OF THI S WORLD ARE TRANSI TORY AND PERI SHABLE. NO MAN CAN EVER GLORI FY YOU. I AM TELLI NG YOU THI S THAT YOU MAY KNOW YOURSELF SO THAT WHENEVER SOMEBODY WI LL COME TO LI FT YOU UP AND YOU ACCEPT I T
AND START TO PUFF UP, YOU HAVE FAI LED.
THE CHRI ST WAS VERY RESERVED Do you r emember w hen Our Lor d J esus Chr i st ask ed Hi s di sc i pl es, " Whom say t he peopl e t hat I am?" They sai d; " J ohn t he Bapt i st , but some say El i j ah, and ot her s say one of t he ol d pr ophet s." He t ur ned and ask ed t hem, But w hom do you say t hat I am? Pet er answ er ed and sai d, Thou ar t t he Chr i st , t he Son of t he l i vi ng God. Then Our Lor d J esus Chr i st sai d: " Bl essed ar e you, Si mon Bar -J ona: f or f l esh and bl ood had not r eveal ed i t unt o you, but my Fat her w ho i s i n heaven. But at t he end He c har ged t hem t hat t hey shoul d t el l no man t hat He w as J esus t he Chr i st unt i l t he c onsummat i on. (Mat t 16:13-20) WHY DI D HE BEHAVE THAT WAY? I F HE HAD STARTED TELLI NG PEOPLE THAT HE WAS THE CHRI ST, GOD WOULD HAVE ABASED HI M.
THE CHRI ST WAS EQUAL WI TH GOD WHEN THE PEOPLE WANTED TO MAKE HI M A KI NG, I F HE HAD ACCEPTED AND ALLOWED HI MSELF TO BE ENTHRONED, I TELL YOU OF A TRUTH, GOD WOULD HAVE REDUCED HI M UNTO OBLI VI ON. SI NCE HE WAS GOD, HE COULD NOT ASSUME SUCH A POSI TI ON BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT SUCH CARNAL THI NGS ARE TRANSI TORY AND PERI SHABLE. HE WAS GOD. HE WAS THE SON OF GOD AND EQUAL WI TH GOD BUT DI D NOT THI NK I T ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WI TH GOD. BUT MADE HI MSELF OF NO REPUTATI ON AND TOOK UPON HI MSELF THE FORM OF A SERVANT AND WAS MADE I N THE LI KENESS OF MAN.(PHI L 2:6-8) THAT WAS WHY MEN BATTERED HI M ON THE FACE, AND ASKED WHO BATTERED HI M, BUT HE DI D NOT BUDGE AT ALL. Even at your pl ac es of w or k t he Head of Depar t ment says you w i l l not be pr omot ed; you shoul d go t o Ol umba t o gi ve you pr omot i on.

Rej oi c e and be ex c eedi ngl y gl ad f or gr eat i s your r ew ar d i n heaven. (Mat t hew 5:11-12) DO NOT ALLOW ANYTHI NG TO I NDUCE YOU TO EXALT YOURSELF. EVEN I F YOU ARE MADE THE CHAI RMAN OF THE OCCASI ON; HUMBLE YOURSELF, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT THE CHAI RMAN. EVEN I F WHI LE YOU ARE SI TTI NG

(Ex odus 9:16) HE EXALTS YOU HI GH, AND HE ABASES YOU TO OBLI VI ON. I F MAN WERE WI SE AND I NTELLI GENT WHENEVER HE I S LI FTED UP BY GOD OR MAN, HE SHOULD MAI NTAI N ABSOLUTE HUMI LI TY.

He i s t he doer of t he w or k , but have you hear d Hi s voi c e? SOME PEOPLE ARGUE THAT THE CHRI ST I S DEAD, AND HE MAKES NO STATEMENT. SOME MAI NTAI N THAT HE I S I N THE SKY; OTHERS ARGUE THAT HE NO LONGER EXI STS. OTHERS SAY HE HAS NO POWER. BUT HAVE YOU HEARD HI S VOI CE?

ARGUMENT AGAI NST THE DEI TY OF OUR LORD J ESUS CHRI ST Thi s ex pl ai ns w hy peopl e do not bel i eve t hat Our Lor d J esus Chr i st i s t he Son of God. They ask w hy God so c ondesc ends t o t he ex t ent of ent er i ng i nt o t he w omb of a w oman, and how a w oman del i ver s God. They ar gue t hat suc h c annot be God. So t hey r ef use t o bel i eve i n t he dei t y of Our Lor d J esus Chr i st . They al so ar gue t hat i f He w er e God, t her e w as a guest house w her e men of al l st at i ons of l i f e i nc l udi ng l aw yer s, doc t or s; pr of essor s l odged. But He so c ondesc ended Hi msel f t o be bor n i n t he manger . Thi s i s, as i t w as, i ndi c at i ve of t he absol ut e humi l i t y of Our Lor d J esus Chr i st .

THE CHRI ST DI D NOT COME TO DESTROY BUT TO SAVE When Our Lor d J esus Chr i st w ant ed t o go t o J er usal em, He passed t hr ough a smal l Samar i t an vi l l age.

(Luk e 9:52-56) BRETHREN, BROTHERHOOD HAS NOT COME TO PUFF UP, OR TO BE ARROGANT OR TO BLOW I TS TRUMPET, BUT TO HUMBLE I TSELF TO THE POI NT OF PROSTRATI NG. AND SO BRETHREN, I DO NOT WI SH TO TAKE YOU FURTHER THAN THI S. THE GOLDEN TEXT WI LL NOW BE READ.
