00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 30 January 2016, a Saturday titled Worldly funeral Rituals. Worldly funeral rituals. Brothers and sisters.
00:14 Many times I have mentioned that today I started last night. We got rid of all the things before sleeping, the anger and all that. If not the spirit of anger will be waxing your spirit all night long.
00:27 Your body may be sleeping, but your spirit man is fighting the demonic forces. Spirit of anger. Spirit of anger will harm us.
00:35 Anything that’s left there. The spirit will be harming you. Health will go.
00:40 All this unnecessary. God has given us. Jesus Christ has given us the power to cast out these things.
00:45 Power to overcome our heart and mind and to be right with Christ, to be pleasing in his sight. Now what we have to do, we have to strive for another level of this. For instance, the Spirit of God, Holy Spirit is in you.
00:59 And he will convict you when you’re going wrong. When something happens, he’ll convict you. There will be a stress in your spirit.
01:04 There will be a disturbance in your spirit. There will be something that bothers you. Then you know you have to stop.
01:12 Stop. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Stop and examine yourself and clear it.
01:17 And clear it. Ask for forgiveness. He is a good God.
01:20 Jesus Christ is a holy God. God, good God. He loves you.
01:24 He loves you and he’s died on the cross for you. He’s not now going to just chuck you away. No.
01:30 He’ll never leave you or forsake you. But we should not continue doing something and running away from him. No, we stay with him.
01:36 And when you are disturbed, talk to him. Talk to him. Like talking to a person who you can see, but you’re talking to him.
01:43 Talk audibly, even quietly in your room. Talk to him. Lord Jesus.
01:48 I’m sorry, Lord. I feel distressed. I’m not sure what it is.
01:52 I’m sure must be something the Holy Spirit are convicting me. Holy Spirit, make me know what it is so I can confess. I want to confess.
01:59 I want to clear this. I want to settle with the people. So this is an ongoing thing throughout the day.
02:06 Because whenever. And suddenly, if you are following Christ, it will not be happening so many times. You will not be doing so many wrongs, going lesser and lesser and lesser.
02:15 Finally, in between, suddenly stress. Then you know you have to settle some things initially, of course, you may be actually doing so many times the Holy Spirit is convicting you or whatever. Because you just came into the Lord, into Jesus Christ, the Lord.
02:29 You have allowed the Holy Spirit to convict you. But after that it will go less and lesser and lesser because you immediately will say sorry brother, sorry sister, sorry sir, or whatever. And continue and don’t want to offend people.
02:40 You want to believe in Christ. One of the biggest thing is we keep on reading newspapers and news articles and all coming from TV and all, always withdrawing, crushing your faith, taking your faith out of Christ and putting it what the world is saying. In the economy this happened.
02:55 The politicians take this. These two political parties are arguing or whatever. And then you are forced to in your heart you begin to take some strikes.
03:03 Don’t take strikes, leave it be. Have your faith in Christ. Do not put your faith in man.
03:09 That’s commanded by Jesus Christ. But, but if you put your faith in man, oh, I support this political party. Yes, but finally the political parties are human beings.
03:18 They too make mistakes. Your faith has only been Christ. Now the two political parties may be arguing, quarreling and all.
03:26 They all want one person want to think they can rule the place better, that particular country better or whatever. But when the circumstances change, they have no control because Satan is the ruler of the world. Satan.
03:36 So leave all this behind. You want righteousness, peace and joy to keep your health, to keep your family properly. You live a humble life.
03:44 Jesus will see you through. Now, today, the worldly funeral rituals. Now brothers and sisters, yesterday because of time we couldn’t complete a few things.
03:52 One of which is remember there is no Jew or Gentile. God says there is now no Galatians 3:28 says Galatians 3:28. I am reading from the Catholic edition.
04:05 There is no longer Jew or Greek. Jew or Greek means Greek. Last time is a reference to unbeliever Jew or Greek.
04:05 There is no longer slave or free. There is no longer male and female. For all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
04:18 There is only one Christian. That is why the Bible the verse is saying to us, don’t follow any custom, follow what Jesus Christ has said. So therefore there’s whether to bury or cremate.
04:32 There is no instruction there. And I said everyone is destined to die once. And then I said judge.
04:39 But you’re not involved in the decision making process as to whether you’re not involved in what they’re going to do with your body. And you’re not bothered now you’re with Christ. Now, brothers and sisters, now also remember in the Jew custom, people generally buried.
04:55 But Also remember in 1 Samuel 31:12, the Bible is clear. Saul and his son, sons, King Saul, you know, and his sons, they were Killed by the Philistines. When they were killed by the Philistines.
05:08 The Philistines, the Israelites. I better read this. 1st Samuel 31:12.
05:17 All the brave men stood and walked all night and they took the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Bashan and they came to Jabesh. Jabesh and cremated them there. Cremated, amplified cremated them there.
05:35 So there are cases in the Old Testament among the cremated because the theologians say they cremated them. That because they’re afraid the Philistines may take the body and desecrate the body more and more, you know, put it on poles and make an example of them or whatever. So they’re afraid of that.
05:51 So they cremated them. So that issue issue simple brothers and sisters, do not bother about. There’s no command for bearing or cremation this one.
06:03 Leave it to each one. Jesus, God is whatever impossible for man is possible for God. And a lot of apostles and disciples have also been burned to death and all that.
06:16 Okay, now that’s clearly yesterday. Now today, today the issue is worldly funeral rituals. This is even worse.
06:24 What has happened is Satan is the ruler of the world. So what he does, he must withdraw your faith out of Christ and put into something else. Take your faith out of Christ and put into something else.
06:35 So that’s what is out to. As long as they can do that, your faith will reduce and your faith will go into some of the activities and some of the customs. Now one of the things that people do, let’s take some Chinese funerals and even Christian Chinese funerals.
06:51 Some of them do not know what they’re doing. So what happens? They burn things in the Chinese funerals. Actually they believe if they burn paper made bicycles, paper made cars, sometimes they make the scape of Mercedes Benz and they burn all that.
07:04 And believing that this is all follow the soul to heaven and the soul can use it. Now that is a bondage. But we all came from bondages.
07:13 So I’m not condemning anyone here. I used to do all kinds of funny things. Now having said that, next thing is this.
07:20 So these worldly customs will catch you. And you may come from a tradition of set worldly customs and rituals, funeral rituals. And why is this devil allowing this or doing this? So that it can suck the money out.
07:33 Suck the money out of the next generation. The people who are alive now. So a father passes away.
07:39 People use whatever the money. First of all, the hospitals bills would have been tremendous. Already there are many hospitals, as I told you would have just gone and say give you Hope, false hope or whatever go on and on and on.
07:51 And then some chemotherapy. Thousands of dollars per vial of injection or whatever going on and all went into debts. And then they have to do this again.
08:00 Then when they do this, it can be thousands of dollars. Now one of the customs that I’m familiar with is the Nigerian situation, whereby I know several Nigerians, my son in law is a Nigerian. So thank Jesus he is aware of these things.
08:17 Now these Nigerian customs, they keep the body for so long, people are poor, you know, they’re not all well to do. But they want to make sure that and they keep for months. They want to make things ready.
08:29 Some of them keep for several months. And it’s a costly thing in Nigeria. Why? Because they have to have the morgue, they have to have these private places where they can keep the body frozen.
08:39 They need double generators and all that people can’t afford. They have to pay monthly thousand dollar bills or whatever. They have to keep pouring that.
08:46 And then they want the custom or everybody to bear the same dress. They’ll be making, sewing dresses, they’ll be making suits. All this sucks the money out of the living.
08:56 That is the game plan of this Satan. Satan’s game plan is okay. He has already destroyed this soul.
09:03 Now to destroy others they were living make them poor. As long as the Satan can keep people poor, then the poor also will commit sin. It’s not only hard for the rich man to get to heaven, it’s also hard for the poor man to get to heaven.
09:17 Because every day he’s seeking out a living and he’s tempted so many ways to get money. So because of this, the game plan of this satanic Satan, the world ruler of the world, is to make people, keep people bondaged and captive by. And he said many Christians do this.
09:37 Now first of all, let’s look at the word of God first. John 2, 15, 17. Do not love the world or the things in the world.
09:47 If anyone loves the world, the love of Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father, but of but is of the world. And the world is passing away and the last of it.
10:03 But he who does the will of God abides forever. Now you know from this scripture alone that it’s not good following worldly customs. But they are so stuck.
10:13 They are afraid the people will condemn them if they don’t do this. Or people condemn what these children didn’t care about their father. The Father has done so much for them.
10:13 They are afraid of this condemnation from this world. And then so they afraid and they end up falling. This custom is still going on among Christians.
10:31 And then impoverishing them, keeping them captive. And it’s a tiring thing to do this, you know, this kind of. It’s a very tiring thing.
10:39 Can you imagine, brothers and sisters? So this goes on. So now I’m begging any Nigerian brother or sister listening to this, take a stand. You have to take a stand for what is right.
10:51 That is not right. It’s actually if you want to follow your disciple of Christ. Christ says what? That bury the dead.
11:01 Of course he said that. He’s trying to say what? He’s letting us know that the burial thing is not a big issue. Leave it be.
11:09 Because everybody is destined to die once and thereafter judgment. Now I beg you, brothers and sisters, use the money, the wage. If you.
11:18 If they meditate and ask Jesus Christ, Lord, do I spend this money on this kind of things in this funeral? Do you really think the spirit of God will say yes? Put on the same uniform, make all dresses for everybody, 20 people, all same wearing same. Let’s do all the songs and dance and going on and on. Keep the body for months at an end in the funeral parlor or in the morgue or whatever.
11:23 Do you really think that Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ will say this? The Spirit of God will say this to you? No. So you. But why you do it? Because sometimes our hearts want it.
11:54 Sometimes our hearts are afraid. People condemn us. That’s why we end up following some of the worldly things.
11:59 Because why we are afraid? Do not be afraid. Fear not. Jesus Christ says fear not.
12:06 Now remember, everyone is responsible for your own. Now that person thank Jesus Christ, prayerfully, hopefully, mercifully, must be with Jesus Christ. Now the living are committing sin.
12:20 The living are committing sin by having these kind of things. Now remember, everyone is responsible for, accountable for their own thing. Galatians 6:5.
12:30 Solely accountable. So now what do we do? That is why, brothers and sisters, today Satan has many, many plans. He has moved into every area.
12:42 He is the God of this world. Actually small God, God of this world. Our Father calls him God of this world.
12:50 The Bible says he is a God of this world. If he is a God of this world, can you imagine how many tricks he will have? But he has no power over a Christian, but a Christian to have power over Satan. But to do that, the Christian must be abiding in Christ.
13:04 If you abide in me and My words abide in you. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, then you are my disciples. And then you are my disciples.
13:19 Then you obey what my commandments Are you my disciples? Then you know the truth. And truth will set you free. So you can only know the truth.
13:27 You begin to abide in the Word. Keep on knowing the Word and following the word. Oh yes, we can do powerful worship songs.
13:36 And now this drum business again. Drum. There’s a focusing day, a lot of music focus coming on.
13:43 Now remember, as I said, you can do very good to your flesh. But let’s ask this question again for ourselves. To be sincere, if a truthful Christian, let’s ask this question to ourselves.
13:54 Do you really imagine the apostles in the first hundred years or so, Apostles Peter, Paul, James, Jude, John, were going around and having these music sessions everywhere. Ask yourself this. Or were they going around and convicting people of sin and saying, God is good, Jesus Christ is holy.
14:17 Turn to him. He washed away your sins and you become the child of God. The power to become child of God.
14:23 You have been given the power to be the sons of God. Those who believe now with the power, what you do, you use the power and act as children of God. Use the power and act as children of God.
14:34 Brothers and sisters, today these things you must be watchful. Do not love the world or things in the world. If you love the world, the love of Father is not in him.
14:44 So if the world now who is going to condemn you? Even in the funeral rituals and all this, the world. The world will condemn you. The world condemns you.
14:50 The world will surely condemn you. Then you are doing something right. That is a sign.
14:57 If the world condemns you, then something right. But two or three followers of Christ tell you, don’t do this, don’t do that. But it’s difficult because you are in a.
15:08 The whole church world in a certain area may be doing this. And then how so, brother, you have to stand out as light, salt and light. You be the salt and light.
15:19 Take a stand for Christ and saying that I have to care for the living the devil. I will not let the devil suck. Make the people who I care for fastest, you take a stand.
15:24 I will not allow the devil to impoverish my people whom I care for. I’m entrusted. The souls of me entrusted to me.
15:39 I’m not. I’m going to care for. Yes, many will leave.
15:41 Maybe even some may leave the church. Many may even leave the church. But that’s not your call.
15:46 It’s not your church. The souls are not yours. You are a caretaker, you are under shepherd.
15:52 So now you have to make the stand. If the pastors don’t make the stand and say, this is not on, this is actually a way of the devil sucking away, making people more impoverished. And then for years, then another funeral will come.
16:07 Oh, I’ve seen this disaster, you know, sad, you know, because one funeral comes soon after another. Something happens in the family, somebody else passes away and this same thing goes on. They suck up, they sell land.
16:21 They have to sell land to support these funerals. So finally, what is the devil doing? Sucking up the assets that the parents have built up over through blood and sweat and toil. So this the way of the devil.
16:33 So, pastors, you have to take a stand. Yes, people will condemn you, but that is the calling. The world will condemn you.
16:40 If the world doesn’t condemn you. I think you are part of the world. Brothers and sisters, today let us start and stand for Christ.
16:46 Let us examine ourselves. Pastors in Nigeria, I’m begging you, those who are hearing, I’m begging you, I’m begging you, make a stand. Make a stand for Christ.
16:55 In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray amen.

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 29 January 2016 to bury or cremate brothers and sisters, let’s remind ourselves as we examined ourselves last night as to what we did, what didn’t do. Ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness and ask Jesus Christ for mercy and that will change everything. Today mercies are new every morning and therefore this is a very important exercise.
00:29 I find that those who do not examine themselves and then they get into a lot of trouble After a while, step by step, Satan begins to tempt their hearts. And step by step they fall into sin. Step by step become a captive again and they lose a lot.
00:45 Now, first of all, the devil comes many many ways. Become a. Uses fear of people, uses pride.
00:52 He uses pride, he uses shame to stop confessing. He’ll use all kinds of things to tempt our heart. Temptation.
01:01 How does temptation come when we are drawn by our own heart? Our heart wants to be proud. Then we are drawn there. And then the thing damage.
01:08 And I’ve seen this damage again and again, not good. It damages both on earth and finally our position in heaven is questioned because we may reject Christ finally. Don’t do this.
01:21 Examine ourselves and get our things right with Christ. Brothers and sisters, today the question is marry or cremate. This is a very critical issue because over the years this became concreted in people’s hearts, concreted in the mind, concrete in the hearts of people.
01:38 So much so they panic as to, you know, years ago, I’m talking about say 15 years ago and I’m listening to people, they wouldn’t want to come to the congregation I’m ministering. Why? They say you don’t have land to bury the dead. I don’t have land.
01:54 He said, yes. So I don’t have land to bury the dead now. So they rather be the huge congregations or huge churches because they believe that if they are not buried in a plot of land, in a Christian plot of land, they won’t go to heaven.
02:12 Can you imagine the bondage? Can you imagine the bondage? So it’s a pity. That is why before there are a number of things like this the devil uses to capture people, keep them as captives. So they are under the belief they are doing sin.
02:29 You know, they have unforgiveness their heart against their parents or sons or daughters or somebody other son in law, whatever. They can’t forgiveness, all that they will have. But the only question is, can I be buried when I’m dead in a Christian plot of land? And if you cannot provide me the burial plot of land.
02:47 I cannot come to your church. They’ll say not my church is Jesus congregation. But they’ll say that.
02:53 And I know one particular instance. Everything that the woman wants to follow. Finally, because of this I don’t want to come.
03:00 Don’t want to come. I felt sorry for the person. But horses and that.
03:05 Imagine this, the Bible. First of all we must know the precept of Christ. Remember there are two things there.
03:14 One is the Old Testament and the other one is the New Testament. The New Testament is a better covenant in Christ. Christ God has the covenant by suffering, shedding blood, dying on the cross, going into hell and being raised up by the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit.
03:29 Because Jesus Christ believed his Father that his Father will not let him be in Let your soul be in soul. Let your soul be in grave let your soul be in hell. Believe that and that belief that faith.
03:41 Of course Father God could then send the Holy Spirit to bring Jesus up. So our faith is only dependent on his faith, on Jesus Christ’s faith. All we need to do is believe on the faith of Jesus Christ what he has done.
03:54 And we believe on what he has done for us. Everything will settle. We are not even required to generate a lot of faith within us to settle things.
04:03 Settle, healing settle. No your those of you following the pocd those in the in the POCD non posting will not be seeing all this. But those on the posting side.
04:16 We’re not talking about free posting. Free posting people post all kind of things. We are not there, we’re talking about posting but posting only this thing calling for prayers.
04:27 Somebody is not well and and issues regarding the testimonies with respect to the POCD message itself. That kind of POC1 POCD2 that are posting that you see that when somebody becomes so seriously ill, you find that when people get to pray, the people have been healed by Jesus mercy of mercy of Christ. That’s so sorry this flu is lingering than Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
04:58 Now the issue is now we must know the precept of Christ. The nature of Christ. Not just know some scripture or what somebody has told over the years and it become concreted in us.
05:11 If that’s the case, you do not know Christ. You know of Christ. You only know what people have told you means you know of Christ.
05:18 You do not know Christ. To know Christ, you must know the nature of Christ. You must have relationship with Christ.
05:23 You are talking to Jesus Christ and he is talking to you. He is guiding you through the spirit of God. And you know, miracles are happening in your life.
05:30 Maybe they’re simple, simple miracles, but these are just miracles. Because a simple car park, you can’t get a car park. And you talk of Jesus and say, lord, your word says whatever you ask us.
05:40 Think, Lord, I need this car park. In Jesus Christ’s name, I command the car park to come or whatever. And then it happens.
05:47 So when you begin to do things like that, and then you begin to walk in the Spirit, only then you can get out of this kind of problem. That’s why Jesus Christ says, my people perish for lack of knowledge. Without knowledge, they perish.
05:58 People abuse them. Now, so what are the precepts that we need to know? First of all, we need to know that we need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Fear, awe, divine.
06:11 This is in Philippians 2:12. Work up your own salvation, I.e. cultivate, bring it to full effect.
06:17 Actively pursue spiritual maturity. Working out the salvation is actively pursuing spiritual maturity with awe, inspired fear and trembling, using serious caution and self critical self evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ. Now of course, self evaluation examination.
06:38 That is what working out our salvation means. Work critical is self evaluation. Actively pursuing spiritual maturity.
06:46 Now. Galatians 6:5. I’m reading my amplified.
06:50 I am alone responsible for what I do, what my faults are, what my shortcomings. For every person will have to bear with patience his own burden. The burden of sin, burden of faults, burden of shortcomings.
06:50 I am alone responsible. Hebrews 9:27 that means you must take accountability. You can’t depend on the Az I said or Chrissy Lut said.
07:10 What’s the use? You have to take accountability. Jesus wants you. You are his child.
07:15 He wants you to take accountability. I’ve mentioned this before. I have four children.
07:19 Four children. If one keep on asking favors for the remaining three I say, why the other three no mouth to speak? They don’t speak to me. They hate me.
07:26 Is it they don’t come talk to me or each one must come and talk their own things. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray that we will understand this.
07:36 I pray the eyes of understanding opens to everybody today on this the princeps of Christ. Hebrews 9:27 it is appointed and destined for all men to die once. And after this comes certainly judgment.
07:51 Hebrews 9:27 and just as it is appointed, it is appointed. It is already written down and destined for all men to die once. And after this comes certain judgment.
08:03 So Died, finished. Judgment. Matthew 8:22.
08:08 But Jesus said to him, follow me. Let the dead bury the dead. Let the dead bury the dead.
08:16 Now, sometimes they will say, yeah, of course, the dead buried the dead. He’s trying to impress upon people following him is more important than the burial part. Let the dead bury the dead.
08:26 Because one man here would have told that, you know, I’ll follow you. But you know, I wait for my father, who’s old, to bury my father and then follow you. Why, the customer will be the eldest son, or somebody must do something, isn’t it? When the father in the family dies.
08:41 So he will say, give me time. There’s no time. When Jesus said, follow me, you follow now.
08:47 Now follow me as a master and teacher and Lord and master and Savior. Allow the spiritually dead to. Now, here, of course, they put a bracket.
08:56 Spiritually dead to bury the dead. Now, Romans 14:23, whatever is not buried, done from faith is sin. That means whatever we do must be done in faith.
09:07 Faith of Jesus Christ. Faith in Jesus Christ, brothers and sisters. Now let’s look at these few things.
09:12 There are few precepts. There are many more precepts of Christ. First, he’ll only make you accountable for what you are responsible for.
09:18 Whatever you have done, whatever you have, your fault, your shortcoming, all that I am responsible right now. Appointed, destined for all men to die once after my death. That’s it.
09:29 Immediately judgment. My actions do not continue because my body has died. And now judgment.
09:36 Now, listening to this, listening to these few scriptures, let’s look at what has happened. Jesus Christ clearly will not hold you accountable for what you don’t do, Whatever you do, only you’ll be accountable. Whatever I do, only I’ll be accountable.
09:55 Now, after when I died, my body has died. Am I accountable for whatever people do with my body? Yeah, I can write that. Bury my body, or even cremate my body.
10:06 I don’t know. I’m not going to bother. You know why? In my case, I said, I am not responsible.
10:13 Accountable. After my body dies, full stop. So whatever people do after that, Jesus Christ, the perfect judge, the perfect justice, perfect love, will not hold that against me.
10:31 Will not hold that against me. So whatever I do is done in the world. While I’m alive, I’m dead.
10:41 No more. No more counting. I’m not responsible for those actions.
10:45 I can give instructions. So what, you think people will follow? They may follow, they may not follow, depending on their circumstances. Now you see the situation.
10:54 So people say, if you bury, then the dust to dust now cremate means ash. Go become ash. Jesus Christ can’t get a body for you in the second coming.
11:05 Hey, what is impossible for man is possible for God. Don’t worry about that. First of all, you just go there.
11:10 You think Jesus Christ, the perfect judge, the perfect love, will hold you accountable for something you didn’t do? No way. No way. He loves you, he loves you, he loves you, he loves you.
11:24 He’s not going to hold you accountable for something you didn’t do. Now even there, let the dead bury the dead. It’s because of course, spiritually they say, don’t bother about that.
11:34 Don’t borrow dead business and burying business. You follow me? That’s all? No. So we follow him.
11:40 We follow him. So whatever happened to my body after that? Not constant. Now you know how many disciples were burned when they were persecution? They were burned to death.
11:54 Burned. They were put in an iron bull with a side door. They throw all the disciples inside there.
12:01 If they do not want to recant Christ, do not want to reject Christ, they put them there and light the fire under and they all be screaming and they burn to death inside the iron bull. Now what about war zone? People are burned to death. What about fire? People are burned to death.
12:18 So what happened to them? So therefore it is not a question of burying a cremate. You know, in Hong Kong, I understand that the land becomes so expensive burial flood so much, so many people are burying their dead standing. That means the body is standing.
12:32 Because they can use as little space as possible, not lying down because the land is not there. Now what happens in the bad places in the slums of the world, when tortured or even in large disasters, people may just cremate entire bodies to avoid the sickness, the plague or whatever. But that is not you who’s doing this.
12:58 People are doing this after your death. You are not accountable for this. Jesus Christ is not going to have you accountable for this.
13:07 And so there are people in bondage. I must have a plot of land to be buried, then only I can go to heaven. All these are lies.
13:14 Not true. And there are people using plenty of scriptures. They’ll put you know and complete out of context.
13:20 So they won’t quote the scriptures. They quote the numbers only. Plenty of numbers of scriptures and tell you.
13:26 Look here, Jesus Christ, Father God always talked about burying. So you must bury, otherwise you have offended Christ. In fact, the apostles say, Dan, there are only four things.
13:38 The Gentiles that mean those non Jews coming to the Lord, make sure they only do four things. Let’s not burden them. One, keep them away from sexual immorality.
13:46 Two, keep them away from idolatry. Keep them away from strangled animals. Don’t eat.
13:51 And then keep them away from blood. Do not consume blood. That’s what apostles got.
13:56 The apostles, they made a decree and they wrote it down in the book of Acts. You see, twice they were mentioning this brothers and sisters, therefore you must know the precept of Christ. Precept of Christ.
14:08 You know how many disciples were all tortured and burned to death. You know how many Christians would have been burned in war zones and all that. So brothers and sisters, this is all the work of government to bondage you, to keep you under captivity.
14:25 Again, I repeat, once you are dead, God doesn’t hold you. Jesus Christ doesn’t hold you accountable for what you do. Because you’re not doing anything.
14:31 It’s judgment time. Judgment time. So please.
14:34 And secondly, if you believe these kind of things, then you are not having faith in Christ. You’re not having faith in Christ. You’re being a bondage.
14:42 You’re being captive. And the number of large organizational churches will hold this captive. They’ll use this maybe to keep you there.
14:50 Hey. Some. Some in the congregation high minister may not reach heaven.
14:56 I won’t know. Only Jesus can decide this. Some in the large organization also some won’t reach or many may not reach because they do not have.
15:06 They do not know Christ. They know of Christ. They have.
15:08 Religious activity may be going on. So only Jesus Christ will know this. Our desire.
15:13 Each of you, including my desire, what God given me. The work is to make you have a relationship with Christ. To know Christ more and more become so close with Christ.
15:22 It’s Jesus. Jesus. Jesus Christ.
15:25 Christ idolize him like that. The way you know football fan, like a fan. The fan comes from word fanatic.
15:32 Why let’s be fanatic for Jesus Christ. Why be fanatic for the world? Let’s be a Jesus fan means Jesus fanatic. But these fancy terms we don’t need.
15:40 We need to be awe and reverence to love Jesus Christ with all our heart, mind, soul and strength. But before we go into any of these things, make sure you understand the precept of Christ. The precept of Christ.
15:53 He wants you to keep the temple of God holy. He wants to give the temple of God holy. And that one nobody cares.
15:59 They care about the plot of land because how bondage only pity. Really sorry. Pity.
16:05 Pity because they keep people in bondage and they don’t let people. And some of them do not check the scriptures, they my people perish for lack of knowledge. Today, brothers and sisters, always look for the preserve of Christ.
16:22 The nature of Christ. The love of Jesus Christ. The love of Jesus Christ.
16:28 So as I said this. Bury or cremate? There’s no scripture saying to bury or to cremate. People are taking a lot of history put together.
16:36 This is your choice, but even that’s really not your choice. Let it be. Let people decide at a certain date.
16:43 Why are you concerned? Your judgment has come. Your body has died. You’re going home to Jesus.
