LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAT ALL THESE THINGS?



LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAN ALL THESE THINGS?
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, yea, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, yea, Lord: thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him Feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said into him, the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord thou knowest all things, thou knowest tha I love thee, Jesus saith unto him Feed my sheep.
Veryily, verily, I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. (John 21:  15-18)
Heaven’s second name is surprise. It will be like a supporting film in a movie theater. Many, whom we respect on earth and call all sorts of names, will be missing in heaven. You may not believe it, but its true. If Jesus Christ comes to this world today, I am very sure that he will be asking most of our private Jet owning pastors the same question he asked Peter more than 2ooo years ago. Lovest thou me more than all these things.  The soul of his sheep entrusted into your care is more important, to him than private jet, and palatial mansion by an ocean shore. He knows that empty you came and for sure empty you’ll return to your creator to answer for yourdid on earth. The crowd you attracted and the biggest auditorium you preach in does not make you a candidate of heaven, your Christian life will. Mend your ways, death is sure heaven is real and hell is unquestionable.  What will the Master find you doing, and where will He find you when he comes? The choice is yours and you have the time to make a quality decision now.
There is a tin line between our pastors and motivational speakers, the former does not know that sin is no respecter of anointing; they are unmindful of the clause “least after I have preached I become a cast away”. Pray for your Pastors always. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a living God.



Who owns the Land of Cannan (Israel)


WHO OWNS THE LAND OF CANNAN (ISREAL)?
Many years ago by Divine mathematics the family of Jacob (son of Isaac, son of Abraham) whose name was changed to Israel by God ended up as slaves in a town in Egypt known as Goshen. God’s initial plan was for them to be in Egypt as slaves for a period of 400 years, during this time, God wanted to “format” Jacob and “install” Israel into their life in preparation for a very long journey, but somewhere along the line Moses who was born by a Jewish parents and trained in the Palace of Pharaoh decided to help God after reading the history of his people’s stay in Egypt. This attempt by Moses added another30 years to God’s initial plan, the lesson here being, that man born of a woman cannot help God. Moses a slave boy was trained in Pharaoh’s palace as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter by man’s wisdom to become the heir apparent to the throne of Egypt, for a period of 40 years. The wisdom of man is foolishness to God, so the Almighty and Omnipotent God by yet another Divine mathematics sent Moses to the wilderness for 40 years to erase some of the knowledge acquired by Moses in the palace which will not be useful for the assignment set before him. Any history of Egypt that does not have a reasonable slot accounting for the period the Jews lived and served them as slaves is fraudulent and an attempt to confuse the world because a period of 430years in the history of a Nation cannot be easily wished away.
The journey from Goshen to Canaan covers thousands of kilometers inhibited by hostile Nations who will not grant Israel access through their land except they have to fight a war. The Israelites never settled in any of the conquered land because that was not the Divine grant they simply moved on.  Moses led the Israelites through this journey until he came to the edge of the Land and was shown the promise Land by God before he died. God buried Moses himself, because till this day nobody saw his grave, but he died and was buried.
Then enter Joshua the commander of God’s people. The book of Joshua is a book of war. He fought his way to river Jordan, and when he crossed the Jordan he conquered 31 Kings, and their cities were destroyed before moving into the promise land.
The land of Canaan, the Promised Land, a land flowing with milk and Horney, which was promised by God to the people of Israel was not a barren or virgin land. It was occupied by people, the Canaanites and host of other people. But why will an Omniscience God who knows the end from the beginning ask His children to go and occupy another man’s land, after forty years of wandering in the wilderness and fighting so many wars? Is God an author of confusion? Never, God did it for a purpose, and the logic defiles human comprehension till this day, and this is the very reason no man living or dead can settle the issue of who owns the Land.
The world is at crossroad as to what to do with the country Israel. Almost all past American Presidents have attempted to make peace between Israel and Palestine in vain. The Bush administration pushed for a two state solution where Israel will live side by side with the Palestinian state in peace. Yes they may live side by side as designed by God, but not in peace. God knows that his Children Israel is very stubborn, and if they are not always on edge, they will forget Him. The Israelites have short memory, quick at forgetting the entire miracle which the Lord performed for them, and start worshiping strange gods. Whenever this happens God allows their enemies to have an edge over them, and then they will remember their God and the covenant He made with their father Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, they call upon Him and He delivers them. All the prophets in the Bible from Moses were sent to warn the Jewish people not to worship other gods, some they killed, others they ridicule and make jest of. When Jesus came they conspired with the gentiles and crucified the king of peace. If the Devil had known that the death of Christ was to redeem mankind, he would not have aided those that crucified Jesus Christ. They asked God to put his blood on their head, and that of three generations after them.
Why is Canaan called the promise Land? Who made the promise and to whom was the promise made? God made the promise to Abraham and his children by covenant. Abraham had other children, but the covenant was to Isaac and Jacob (Israel) in the eyes of God, Jerusalem is the centre of the world, and this is the city that inhibit His shekinah Glory, which means “the Glorious presence of God” which was visible in the pillar of fire that followed them in the wilderness. There is no city like Jerusalem on earth. A different feeling and atmosphere pervade Jerusalem. Jerusalem the very name is exciting and provokes deep emotions, memories of the past and the hope of a glorious future.  God said, I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there…..For now I have chosen and sanctified this house (the temple), that My name may be there forever; and my eyes and MY heart will be there perpetually….In this house and in Jerusalem which I have chosen…I will put, My name forever. 2 Chronicle 6:6, 7:16, 33:7.
The present country called Israel has witnessed more wars than any other country on earth, and it will continue to be threatened with war until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The reason could be found in the Bible:                                                                                            NATIONS LEFT IN CANAAN!!
In Judges 3 vs 1-4: The Lord left certain nations in the land to test those Israelites who had not participated in the wars of Canaan. He did this to teach warfare to generations of Israelites who had no experience in battle. These were the nations: the Philistines (those living under the five Philistine rulers), all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the hill country of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath. These people were left to test the Israelites – to see whether they would obey the commands the Lord had given to their ancestors through Moses.” Unfortunately Israel lived among those gentile nations and started worshiping their gods, to the anger of God. Today there are more idol worshipers in Israel than any other nation on earth, and as long as they worship strange gods, their enemies will continue to put them on edge and direct them to the sovereign Lord, whose help they must seek.
The Israelites abandoned the Lord. They chased after gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them, and they angered the Lord so He sold them to their enemies all around and they were no longer able to resist them. Till this day, the original owners of the Land will continue to fight for their land and will never get it because the creator of heaven and earth, the Lord God of the host of Israel, has transferred ownership to another. “As for Me behold. My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations….I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the Land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God” (Genesis 17:4, 7-8) He is the porter and we are the clay, we cannot question God. The very moment we come to terms that the issue of who owns the Land was divinely created for a purpose the easier it is for all the parties concerned to trade with caution.  (Harris Eluwah)
