GOD’S MERCY!

The content of this publication is not “Politically Correct.” The content is “BIBLICALLY  CORRECT.” Gods Mercy ?? YOUR LIFE DEPENTS ON IT ! God’s Mercy? Something to think about…… what about you? Can you live apart from the God who formed you in your mother’s womb? Has not every bite of food that has ever entered your mouth been given by this gracious God, who causes the rain to water the earth, and who enables man to harvest his crops? Has not God granted to you in his everlasting mercy the very gift of life? Never think that it has been your own ability that has ever added one single day to your own life’s span. Never think that you have been spared from sickness, injury or death simply because of good luck or coincidence. It has been the mercy of God alone. You have him to thank for every blessing that has came your way. It’s time you put your life in God’s hands. Give yourself to Jesus today! It is the wisest thing you will ever do. The Missionary Army should always be acting under the supreme, Sovereign royalty of Jesus Christ the captain of our Grand Salvation (Heb 2:10). Sadly, too many in this generation are under the crooked authority of mere “Religious” institutions run by “Carnal” men. The Missionary Army is for the glory of man, to be seen and heard of man without any care for the things of the spirit. Let us consider the first. Those of the Army make their oblation unto God in virtue by the way of the spirit. They work and war both for here and hereafter, for the good pleasure of their Lord and for the furtherance of his eternal empire. They risk all to serve their commander in the face of lost men who give themselves to lawless passions. Christ’s soldiers lay their lives down despite the constant tyranny as Satan and all his evil forces.
I want to concentrate, but not extensively, upon one distinct aspect in reference to the domain of the spirit: conquest the more we think about one Lord’s mission-field, the more this point comes into clarity.
CONQUEST
OUR God created the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, earth is now fallen. Earth occupied by fallen men and evil spirits who do not adhere unto God. And so earth particularly in reference to its inhabitants, now regarded to territory that must be won naturally and spiritually, its soil must be CULTIVATED and made fertile. So by “conquest.” We mean winning lands and souls to Christ thru the proclamation of the Gospel.
Once we win the field of battle, wherever it may be, we must seek God about the establishment of a mission –as ekklesia, or community of believers-whereby the souls who are won may be fully rooted and grounded in Christ then those souls may raise up an advancing army from their own ranks.
It was our heavenly priest who taught us “Thy Kingdom Come, thy will be done, in earth(on earth) as it is in Heaven.” He taught us such prayer knows that the kingdom will sure come, for he paid the price by his wounds and death…but he also knows it will cost, the lives of his missionaries, his officers and soldiers. Re-read Christ’s prayer of intercession found in John 17 verse 18 does not only refers to Jesus’ first disciples. “ As thou has sent me (i.e, Jesus, a missionary) into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word. “ (VV.18-20). The Babylonian Church may well continue to build her altars and make a big deal of her Sacerdotal office, but without the authorization of  THE HOLY GHOST ALL HER LABORS ARE IN VAIN. The rough and irregular work and the continual warefare of a simple missionary’s uncouth dress, plain foods, common living quarters, and so-on- everything about him seems out of place to the dignity and Church goers of today. Are we to win souls by our Churchy zealous works? Or by our money? Or our affluence? Will be win souls and keep them by the power of God? Shall we make converts kneel at the feet of “respectable” priests and kiss thy shimearing rings on the priests fingers? Should converts admire and even worship those who administer sacraments, thinking that the “pious ones” are a superior grade of human beings even better than the ones who walked with Jesus? Are we to win and keeps converts by social methods rather than by the power of the spirit? Does God honor the well paid government chaplains and overfed priest over his lowly, disparaged, yet spirit empowered servants? I SAY No ! God’s true servants will not be over educated, nor will they be merely mechanical without heart in their obedience, they will be taught and, tried by God’s fives of refinement in the execution of their daily duties. They will not whine themselves as Gods or Goddesses, for self-idolatry is wholly reprehensible, disgraceful, and absolutely abominable. We are not called to be “religious” but righteous. We are called to be his witnesses “unto the uttermost parts of the earth,” some soldiers are literally “sent out,” while others fight more “behind the scams,”
But all must fight. If we are ones who are “sent out” it is not for our worth, parse, but for God’s glory. Likewise, if we work “behind the scenes,” it is all for the glory of God. For the lord is worthy to receive the rewards of his sufferings, Jesus told his disciples, “ I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruits” we must bear fruit in our own lives and also bear fruit by winning souls to Gods’s family.
Christ died for ALL ! I believe it, though I know not ALL will receive our saviour nevertheless, we must be witnesses to ALL just the same. Let us never doubt the power of the cross or the outstretched arms of Christ that may reach both those who are near and far. Indeed God’s light can penetrate the darkest spots in the earth, even penetrate the darkest soul.
His blood cries out ! his Blood cries out ! our narrowness to see this truth is fatal. Christ died that souls could be redeemed, and we must do our part to win souls.
Universalism teaches that ALL will eventually be saved. Even Satan and his demons will be saved. This system of doctrine also causes trouble on the mission field. “Why preach against sin at all,” they say, “since ALL will go to Heaven anyway?” First of all, Jesus commanded us to preach the Gospel, second of all, everyone will not eventually be saved. Hell is real, Hell is forever, Hell is already full, too full, of dammed souls. Friends, if a man rejects Christ, he seal himself away from eternal life. Better read Revelation 20-22 again.
Let me get to the point: WE CANNOT MAKE EXCUSE FOR OUR LAZINESS TO LABOR FOR SOULS. Everyone has the option to be saved, and we are wise-more than that, we are COMMANDED to win souls, or at least die trying having spread the seed of the WORD.
When Jesus said, “I THRIST” (John 19-28), could he have meant “ I thirst for the redemption of humanity”? after all, Jesus died for the redemption of lost souls, not for something to drink. Man in his ignorance usually craves to drink what will never satisfy his parched perishing souls the LIVING WATERS, along with the BREAD OF LIFE, and not concentrate on carnal things that only satisfy the human appetites. Jesus tells us in His word that if we drink of his LIVING WATERS we shall never thirst again (for the things of the world and the flesh). Amen. Thus it is a privilege to spread the word, “How beautiful…are the feet of Him that bring the good tidings.” So, states the Old Testament. The New Testament says, “How beautiful are the feet of them…..speaking of we soldiers in Christ.
To believe in Christ, to accept Christ, and to follow Christ, we become both pries t and sacrifice (victim). God calls us and we accept Him, thus we become as living stones, (who) are built up a spiritual home, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ (1Pet.2-5). This is not all. Verse 9 continues. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people..” the chief privilege of a New testament priest is direct access to God (i.e. )  the very thing that has been denied to the masses by the Roman Catholic Church. And as one exercises his office as a New Testament believer priest, he must offer a threefold sacrifice.
(1). His own living body (He is the willing victim) see (Rom.12:1; Phil 2:17; 2 tim 4:6; Gn 3:16).
(2). Praise to God, the fruit of our lips giving thank to his name, “which is to be offered continually” (Heb   13:16; Rom 12:13; Gal 6:10; Tit 3:14). Furthermore, the New Testament priests is an intercessor (See 1 Tim 2:1; Col 4:12)
There are happy times on the field when we see sinners won to Christ, when God is glorified, or even when God rises up local support or encouraging news from headquarters. We live a missionary life here at “Outreach Challenge Ministries” without any declared organizations but looking upon our Lord alone. We thank you those who realized to be their missions and offers free will contributions times and again. May the good Lord alone bless you richly ! we have even experienced the death of some of our friends including our own loved ones in the family circle !
Let me end here, after serving the Lord since from the year February 1977, we still count it a special joy and privilege to be called, chosen faithful, commissioned, and command by God for the great more years ahead of us to serve our risen Lord.
