The Foundational Message Of Salvation

The Importance Of Witnessing

As it is, I am not writing this article to defend or promote our ministry, but rather our purpose is to share the Gospel truth. In a recent incident involving children physically attacking and verbally abusing two of the children in my family (Charis and Jaydeen), the Lord comforted us and said that we are not to turn a bad cheek when people insult or attack us unjustly. Despite their insults and actions, we must continue to love them. We should continue to love even those who hate us or persecute us because the Lord Jesus loves them too; He died for us that we may believe and hope in Him and be saved from hellfire (John 3:16).

Also, some time ago I read some disturbing remarks someone made against us, accusing us of being false while in all truthful conscience we obey the Lord by speaking the truth in love only. We do this whether in writing our articles or speaking to people when we witness to them. Brothers and sisters, I reiterate and I know that no matter how hard I try to convince you, some of you will not believe us. We are NOT LYING to you when we say that the Lord Jesus Christ the Messiah, born of the Virgin Mary, sent us to share His visions and messages with you as a warning and for your edification.  We act in obedience to the Lord and are sharing this for your good.

Why Does Mankind Need Salvation?

Biblically, salvation means deliverance from sin and its consequences. This is attained through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12; 2 Peter 3:9).  The Lord longs to save His children and gather them to Himself (Matthew 23:37) and His plan of salvation for humankind began at creation immediately when Adam and Eve sinned (Genesis 3:15).  God is merciful and gracious and longs for all His children to come to Him.  Contrary to what many people believe, God is a most loving and compassionate God:  The Lord is gracious and full of mercy towards us and does not delight in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11). The Almighty God desires for us to repent and return to Him that we may be forgiven and redeemed (Isaiah 44:22; Zechariah 1:3-6; Joel 2:11-13).

In the New Testament, salvation deals with the substitutionary nature of our salvation (Hebrews 9:26; Ephesians 1:7). It came about as a result of God's grace (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:3-7). This grace must be understood against the background that no human effort, however noble, could bring about salvation (Acts 4:12).

Furthermore, this salvation if accepted means deliverance from two evils: sin and spiritual death which is Hell (Galatians 1:4; Romans 5:6; John 3:16-18). Some time ago I received an email from a brother in the Netherlands. He questioned me asking why I always emphasized hell punishment and why the Lord rebukes in my articles. I told him quite frankly, that correction from the Lord means salvation and escaping God's judgments (Proverbs 3:12; Hebrews 12:6).

When John the Baptist started his ministry, he said, "Repent, for the kingdom of God is near!" (Matthew 3:2).  From the Scriptures we know very well that John the Baptist was sent by God ahead of the Lord to introduce Him to the world (John 1:6-7). As a witness of God, John encouraged repentance and forgiveness of sins (Mark 1:4).  At the same time he warned his listeners that if their repentance is fruitless there would be consequences (Matthew 3:7-10).

While we find many religions in the world offering various ways of salvation, our salvation is rooted in the completed work of Christ on the cross (1 Timothy 1:15; John 3:17; 12:47). The Bible uses many different ways to explain and portray the salvation we received; this is to help us understand what God has done.

How We Received Salvation

In the first instance, God the Judge declares believers in Christ righteous and He finds them not guilty (Romans 3:26; 8:33).

Another instance is our deliverance from the slavery of sin. God has freed us from the bondage of sin (1 Peter 1:18-19). Through this salvation in Christ Jesus we received adoption as sons of God (Romans 8:15). Having been God's enemies through sin, through our salvation in Christ we are now His friends (Romans 5:10-11; John 15:15). We are awaiting the fulfillment of our salvation at either our physical death (2 Corinthians 5:8) or at the return of our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; Hebrews 9:28; 1 Peter 1:5). For further understanding on this important teaching, kindly refer to our 'How To Be Saved from Hell’ article. In that article, we boldly point out that the reason we preach Christ is to prepare man for the hereafter judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

True Salvation

While it is good to attend church to fellowship with believers in the Presence of the Lord, church attendance should not be construed as salvation. Often times while witnessing, we meet people who say they are Christian and go to church but not born again. Salvation is not belonging to some church or body, neither is salvation merely our participation in church programs or taking of holy communion.  The Bible says we must be born again in order to enter heaven and escape God wrath (John 3:3; John 3:36). With true repentance from our sins and acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we become children of God (John 1:12-13). We become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). In this we also receive a new heart and a new Spirit leading us to obey the Lord’s commands (Ezekiel 36:25-32). Salvation came through Christ and it is made secure only in relation to our obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:12-13; Matthew 7:21).

Allow me to share this with you: Recently, a brother in the Lord asked us to inquire for him from the Lord if he is going to make it to Heaven.  The Lord answered and said: "My son J will only enter Heaven if he is obedient". The Lord went on to tell us that obedience is the key to Heaven and that our salvation is made secure through us obeying Him (Matthew 7:24-27). Like we acknowledged in our last article titled Developing Self-Discipline, salvation is God's free gift, but obedience is the key to enter Heaven.

Vision of Judgment Against Disobedience

Finally, I will share a very short vision Charis received from the Lord recently. This is therefore worth sharing as it might help save you. In this vision, she saw the Lord sitting on His Throne as Judge and dressed in dazzling white attire. She was allowed to hear how the Lord was delivering judgment on my wife and our 7 year old daughter. She heard the Lord saying to my wife that she was repeatedly warned not to be partial in her treatment of her children, and her disobedience has resulted in a punishment for her. She was warned to obey the Lord in order to avoid further severe punishment. After addressing my wife, the Lord turned to my daughter and told her that in this year (2014) she would turn 8 and that it is time for her to follow the ways of Charis and Jaydeen, by reading the Bible and living obediently and disciplined (Titus 1:6; Joshua 1:8).  Partiality in this case is taking sides with or favoring one child, while ignoring the correction another child gave by reporting the wrong.

The Lord told me to share this vision with you so that you must educate and prepare your children (including those who have turned 8, thus attaining the age of accountability) to do His will (Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Deuteronomy 32:46; Genesis 18:19). I mention this as a reminder because in a separate message the Lord told us that children age 8 and above are hell ready. This might sound absurd to you, and again we are not here to convince you to believe the revelations the Lord gives us; we point you to the word of God. The Lord said that He gave parents the responsibility to teach their children His word (Proverbs 22:6, Ephesians 6:4). I therefore encourage you to live your life in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ to complete your salvation.

Blessed Grace,

Discerning Of Prophets And Their Prophecies

Testing The Spirits By Faith

“Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man" (Luke 21:36).

Brethren, we are sharing this article again with this addition to the article. There is a very prominent prophet who claims to receive visions and messages from biblical saints. Also, we need to add that we have nothing against any person who receives revelations from the Lord. We have also heard him say that President Trump will be fighting the Beast, which is NOT TRUE! We will reveal in a future article the identity of the man of sin (2 Thessalonians 2:3), and it will prove this narrative wrong. The Lord confirms that this prophet has a lying spirit. Apparently, this prophet has been receiving revelations from various biblical saints and angels. Biblically, there is only one notable incident where Moses and Elijah appeared with the Lord Jesus Christ in the transfiguration account (Matthew 17:1-3). The frequent Heaven visits, angelic visits, and encounters with biblical figures that go beyond the Bible should be rightly discerned and rejected.

Let us therefore be careful and rightly discern what we are taught. The Bible is still the most trusted SOURCE for our spiritual growth and knowledge of God the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Now, this brief article is simply a deliberate work to draw attention to the reality of false prophets and prophecies. From the onset, the Lord revealed to me that many Christians would be overlooking this message, but the kind-hearted would be filled with peace and wisdom (Daniel 12:3). Regarding our message for this week, the time in which we are living has produced a lot of false prophets who use social media and other platforms to deceive. From our observations, some people are unable to discern the error in some teachings because some scriptural references are being used to justify a doctrinal position. However, in their desperation for riches, the motives of some are clearly evident. On some occasions, we have seen some ministers being ‘financial’ advisors to the flock and having an ‘anointing’ to operate in such an office. 

We need to mention, though, that greed, self-promotion, and the offering of quick-fix solutions to problems attract the spiritually naive. Now, we may have written a similar message in the past, however, let this not escape your attention that as the future unfolds and the DAY of the Lord draws near more false prophets would enter the scene (Matthew 24:11). I understood from the Lord that Satan would be using the activities of false prophets to sow confusion and to deepen deceit (Matthew 24:24).

Briefly, like you, we honestly don’t know the DAY of the Lord, and neither do the angels and the Lord (Matthew 24:36). The coming of the Lord and the Rapture have been a subject of intense discussion over the centuries, and this blessed hope has kept the hearts of countless Christians focused on the Lord. In other words, despite the troubles of the day, the hopeless challenges the brethren of old were comforted by the promises of the Lord and His coming (Hebrews 11:13-16). What a living faith these brethren had!

In contrast, some Christians today, when they hear or read about a prophetic message regarding the Lord’s coming, expect it to happen immediately, and if it does not happen immediately, the messenger is labeled as false. While we should test the spirits (1 John 4:1), we are encouraged to hold on to the good (1 Thessalonians 5:21), and encouragement in the name of the Lord is meant to edify. It is thus not prudent to label an unfulfilled word of encouragement as false. Also, a message from the Lord, which is intended to encourage or to warn us, is meant to edify and ready us for Christian service (Luke 12:35). Unless a brother or sister went ahead of him or herself by tendering a specific date for the Lord’s coming, a Christian should not turn to mocking a prophetic message. 

A few months ago, I had a conversation with a brother who told me that he was mocked by a fellow Christian when he shared a vision from the Lord regarding His coming. The tone of His message sounded urgent, as if the Lord would come at that very moment, but he did not set a specific date. He merely conveyed his conviction. Let us therefore not become mockers, remember we ought to be for the encouragement of the brethren and not be seen as the opposition (2 Peter 3:3; Luke 9:50).

Discerning False and True Prophets

True, some prophetic utterances may require some discernment, and there are repeated offenders who are in the habit of delivering false prophecies, and in our day, there are many notable false prophets. The Bible says that false prophets are known by their fruits (Matthew 7:15-20), and some of these fruits include the evidence of their message(s), which would turn out to be false (Deuteronomy 18:22). Often, despite evidence of some false predictions to the contrary, some Christians who lack discernment would still follow the false man of God.

How do we discern a false prophet? Firstly, a false prophet will defend his false prediction by offering an alternative interpretation, adding further falsifications. Biblically, a prophecy from God should always be 100% accurate (1 Samuel 3:19).

Secondly, a false prophet seeks attention, and they often try to draw attention to themselves more than to God (1 Kings 22:12 and verse 24). In other words, their egos are always crying out, saying, ‘Look at me and what I have, follow me.' However, a true prophet of God is always clothed with honesty, humility, and truthfulness, always pleased to serve others more than his or her needs (Deuteronomy 9:18-20). Thirdly, false prophets have a spirit of false humility and a spirit of greed and dishonesty (2 Corinthians 8:9). They love and enjoy the luxurious worldly lifestyle, and in their greed, they charge and set a price on their preaching engagements (Matthew 10:8). 

Kindly allow me to add, the Lord does provide for His children’s needs, and it often comes through others the Lord commanded, and it would often be in the quantity that we need (1 Kings 17:4 and verse 9; 2 Corinthians 8:14-15). Additionally, we may add some other characteristics of false prophets, like their deceitful behavior, false promises, lying, and their appetite for recognition. Since the devil operates in the background, hidden from people, his identity is easily recognizable through falsehood. God willing, we will devote an entire article to the identity of Satan shortly. The Lord has revealed a great deal of his personality to us over a period of more than five years.

People are Not Your Enemies

Brethren, by unmasking these workers of deceit, we are not implying that they are our enemies and that we should harbor ill feelings against them. Scripturally, when two of the Lord’s disciples expressed disgust at some residents of a Samaritan village, who opposed the Lord’s message, He rebuked them. Why, because we are commanded to love and to pray for those who persecute us (Luke 9:54; Matthew 5:44). Humans are special in the sight of the Lord, and He came to save us (Genesis 1:27; John 3:16-17). Additionally, we are scripturally charged that our wrestle is not against flesh and blood, but against demonic powers (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, our aim as the body of Christ is to expose the identity of Satan behind some people he is using. Our prayers are that those who find themselves under his ‘cloud of deceit’ should be able to recognize his schemes, one of which is the spirit of greed. Biblically, Satan is known to use material prosperity to reward those who submit and obey him (Matthew 4:8-9; Mark 4:19; 1 Timothy 6:8-10).

We repeat, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8 NIV). We know that he is loaded with every trick of deceit! Finally, do you want to be able to discern false prophets and prophecies? Well, your Source to help you identify falsehood is the Holy Spirit. He is not our servant but our helper (John 14:26), and since He is our helper, we need to allow Him to teach us the Scriptures to discern the truth (John 16:13), and falsehood would be laid bare. We ought to spend time in God’s Presence through prayer, Bible reading, and worship sessions. We also further need to give the Lord our undivided commitment.

Finally, don't miss this opportunity, we would like to extend an invitation to anyone who does not know the Lord Jesus Christ yet, or of you are not born again, to pray our suggested prayer on this link Prayer of Sincere Repentance by faith and come follow the Lord (Matthew 4:19). You may also contact us for any questions or comments about this article or our ministry.

Don't Say Things To Hurt Others

 Uttering Useful Words

"Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them" (Ephesians 4:29 TLB).

LATEST VISIONS 

PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT DAILY THE LATEST VISIONS PAGE, AS WE WILL POST UPDATES ANY DAY THE LORD PROVIDES A VISION OR A PROPHETIC WORD!

Brethren, we hope to share a short article with you this week, which was given by the Lord. As you all know, we commit many sins through the things we say in our daily communications with others (James 3:2). I'm sure many of us confess our mistakes daily on the things we did and thought, while we ignore the things we said, don't we? However, let us not forget that our words, spoken or unspoken, will also be considered when we are being judged by the Lord (Matthew 12:36-37), and this includes deceitful words  (flattery or misrepresentation) and false promises.

Furthermore, the Bible says, "A good man produces good deeds from a good heart. And an evil man produces evil deeds from his hidden wickedness. Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech" (Luke 6:45 TLB).  As it is, this verse is particularly true of people who are bearing grudges and harbouring feelings of unforgiveness against others.  Additionally, this is not only about our words,  but it also takes into account our non-verbal actions as well, which include our facial expressions and demeaning gestures. 

Generally, in our work in the Ministry, we have come across many people who simply have no conviction when it comes to speech control. When we asked the Lord, He said they are not asking Him to give them a conviction (Psalm 141:3), to drive slandering and gossiping away.

Now, without mentioning the people's names, we have the Lord's permission to use His rebuke of others to both encourage and to teach us (Romans 15:4). The Brother was in the habit of speaking the truth from the heart; he always sounded judgmental, accusatory, angry, and unkind. In a rebuke to the brother, the Lord said he should not say things to hurt others; instead, he should use the opportunity to encourage and build up.

In conclusion, let us strive to limit our words and think carefully before we speak, while weighing our intentions. If we are going to use our words to hurt let us learn to hold our peace. Being moody is equally destructive behaviour, which is intended to hurt those at the receiving end of it. 

Blessed Regards

Brother Glenn

 

Being Patient With God

Waiting On God Produces Hope

 "The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him... it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD" (Lamentations 3:25-26 NIV).

Date: 06/04/2026 By Brother Glenn

Just after my evening prayers, I fell asleep and heard a strong choir singing loudly WITH THEIR VOICES BEING HEARD  ACROSS THE WORLD, "SOON AND VERY SOON, WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE KING" repeatedly...End of Vision!

A few years ago, I received a precious and most beautiful promise from the Lord, which I'm not going to disclose here. As we all know, it is very hard to exercise patience while waiting, but the spirit of hope kept the anticipation alive. I was looking forward to each new day, while praying for the fulfilment of the promise. Without any exaggeration, there is nothing so completely fulfilling and refreshing as a direct prophetic WORD on a person's life, knowing the Almighty God Himself watches over His Word to bring it to fruition (Jeremiah 1:12), and this comes with an overwhelming sense of being favored by the Lord and His reassuring love.

While holding on to the promise, our faith is being tested (Romans 4:18-22), and dark shadows of doubt enter us, leading us to despair and impatience (Exodus 32:1), which comes with severe consequences (Numbers 11:26-35). Having known the Lord for more than 30 years and being exposed to various Ministries, I have observed that many Christians have been taught incorrectly to demand things from God, following the "name it and claim it" deceptive doctrine.

Brethren, when the Lord has promised us something, He requires us to humbly approach Him in all fear and trembling (2 Samuel 6:9; Hebrews 12:21). The Lord is no respector of persons (Acts 10:34), and while we wait on Him to deliver on His promises, we should be mindful of His authority and Lordship over our lives (Ephesians 5:23). We once had a brother in the Lord requesting us to ask the Lord for a Word for him. The tone of his request was at best disrespectful, demanding, and inappropriate, and the Lord's response was a gentle yet stern rebuke.

In conclusion, let us exercise patience and persevere in prayer while waiting for those precious promises of the LORD.

Blessed Regards

Brother Glenn
