THE FINISHED WORK
As I looked at a congregation, I discovered the pastor was telling the members that there is a WORK(DIVINE) that was finished! Well done Pastor, but I see your church almost like a club(the devil's house). He quickly looked at me and asked why? Yes, immediately a man gives his life to Christ, he is not expected to REMAIN idol lest he falls into great danger. Danger of what? Danger of what? Yes, a girl in a brothel was arrested and he came into church only to see that the trousers ( attire of an harlot) which she burnt by my Spirit (Holy) is still worn by women in your church seeing you told them that I(Christ) don't look at OUTWARD APPEARANCE but only inside the HEART. Look! Mr Preacher, I look both at the outward appearance and inside the heart. How can I arrest an HARLOT and you tell her I don't look at the OUTWARD APPEARANCE. Looking at the devil, I discovered he was LAUGHING at man seeing he has used a lot of Men of God to POLLUTE the HOUSE of God. Yes! Mr Preacher, you told your members I don't look at the OUTWARD APPEARANCE but you have not gone to implant artificial hairs on your hands and chest! So because they(women) saw the devil one on one at the GARDEN of EDEN , you still want them to see the devil after DEATH! As I looked at the FINISHED WORK, I discovered humanity are too foolish to believe ONCE A MAN gives his life to God that is all. The devil is still LAUGHING (evil of demon). Yes, he(devil) knows there is a BATTLE whether man likes it or not. The battle of life.
THE BATTLE OF LIFE
As I looked at the above topic, I discovered that the Writer has written a book like that on Amazon. Looking at the topic, I discovered once a man is born into the world he is in a battle and that battle TERMINATES once the man finally BREATHE his LAST upon the face of the earth. Now looking at the finished work, I mean, I(Christ) had to buy man back through my BLOOD(MONEY)! Man was initially mine but were sold out due to DISOBEDIENCE at the garden of EDEN. Now I had to REGENERATE through a woman that knoweth not a man in order to die and purchase MAN(hindi, budist, Ishmaelites etc) back to me (Christ). Looking at the FINISHED WORK(purchasing man back), I discovered that the devil saw the weakness of man at the garden of Eden. What is the weakness? What is the weakness? he(devil) knew that man hates the truth(Christ) and the inability of man to accept the truth(Christ) into his heart. Yes, devil saw the weakness of man and he is using it against man till TOMORROW. Okay, talking about the finished work, a man cannot accept me(Christ) into his heart and sits without WORK. What is the work? What is the work? Yes, immediately a man(sinner) gives his life to me (Christ), a garment (holy) will come upon him known as garment of SALVATION. After which my SPIRIT(HOLY GHOST) will make the person(New Convert) hate many THINGS(evil of evil) he used to do before( false eyelashes, false finger nails, false lips- red, yellow, orange,purple,green, false hair, false skin- bleaching, false ....) Now if truly such a person genuinely gives his or her LIFE to me(Christ), he(she) will truly DETEST these things. Now I have an enemy(Lucifer), who was banished thousand and thousand of years ago. He was not happy the way he was chased away and because of that , he has vowed to make all humanity test where my father(Jehovah) prepared for him. Now before he was banished he was CURSED(CHANGED) by my father (Jehovah) and because of that, he(lucifer) is CURSING(CHANGING) man(women most especially) to be like him in spirit. Now any woman that dies with these FALSE ATTIRE(false eyelashes, false genital-transgender, false finger nails, false ...) will NEVER, NEVER see my God. She may pray in TONGUES and the dead RISE, she may sing and the deaf hears, she may clap her hands and the barren conceive, she may wave her hands and people fall under the anointing. But if she dies with any FALSE ATTIRE upon her body, she will wish to be born without eyes, legs and hands again on EARTH just to make it to ETERNITY. Once a man receives me, it is not FINISHED there, there MUST be WORK(fasting, prayers, reading christian literature, listening to gospel messages, listening to gospel songs, neglecting not the assembly of Brethren etc) in order to MORTIFY(DESTROY) the deeds(evil) of the FLESH so that the INWARD MAN can be renewed. It is finished! It is finished!!
