The Rewards on the Road to the Celestial City (11)

 

Loved one in Christ Jesus, I believe you are growing in the strength of the Lord. In this article, I will share the revelations Apostle John had on the island of Patmos. These revelations connect with the church. The Holy Spirit will speak to you through this article if you follow every text.

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

And I will give him the morning star.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 2:18-29 KJV

Jesus Christ knows our labour of love (evangelism, fasting, offering, intercession, and other activities done to expand the Kingdom of God). Never give up in your service to the church because the church and some leaders don’t recognize you.

Jesus Christ is speaking to you. He says, “I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works.” Working in the house of God differs from organization jobs. In government and private institutions, the employer pays you (salary) based on your work done and value.

In God’s Kingdom, Jesus Christ is the rewarder. In the vision of Apostle John, Jesus Christ revealed Himself as the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass. This should let you understand that the eyes of Jesus Christ are full of power and authority.

The fire can destroy and refine. Jesus Christ is a consuming fire, and He stands against anything that challenges Him. He sees everything done in secret. His feet are like fine brass, which means He is undefiled in all His ways. Wherever Jesus steps, the place becomes holy.

The eye of Jesus Christ is a symbol of His Sovereignty. Jesus Christ sees with the eye of judgment when He sits on His throne as a Judge. We must understand that Jesus Christ is both the Saviour and Judge of the whole world. Christ Jesus is against church leaders that promote ungodly doctrines.

Jezebel in the context of the scripture is a symbol of witchcraft, seduction, manipulation, sexual immorality, wickedness, and idolatry. In some churches, the spirit of Jezebel reigns. Although these churches evangelize, help the poor, labour with their heart to build God’s kingdom on earth, they allow the spirit of Jezebel to contaminate the body of Christ.

Jesus recognizes our labour of love in His kingdom, but we must not allow the spirit of Jezebel to dominate the atmosphere of the church. The moment we allow the spirit of Jezebel to dominate the church, it opens the door for other demons to control the weak people in the church.

This is one reason we see many church buildings with nominal, carnal Christians and false leaders who are weak in the Word, prayer, and spirituality. The angel of the church (leader (s) in the ministry) has opened the door to the Jezebel spirit to control the ministry, so the leaders and members of the church are corrupt.

I remember I had a vision of some churches. In the vision, I saw a group of people sitting in a public transport vehicle. The people sitting in the vehicle were happily rejoicing, not knowing they were heading towards a bottomless pit.

There was another vision I had. I was sitting with a group of people in a vehicle. I could discern in the spirit that the people were jealous of me. I couldn’t express myself on the bus! As I sat on the bus with the people, over ninety-five percent of the people wanted to destroy me!

The bus represents the ministry, and the people inside the bus are the souls in the church. In some churches, jealousy, carnality, immorality, and ungodly behaviour rules, and the church leaders accept it as a tradition. Jesus Christ is against such leaders and their congregation.

As I am growing in the Lord, I have observed that Jezebel's spirit has dominated some churches to the extent that they have enforced Jezebels' doctrines as the church's doctrine. It has become a tradition in the church so these leaders see no error in the body.

Darkness is dominating the atmosphere of many churches, and these blind people (leaders) see themselves in the light. It is like an illusion. It makes people think they are in the right place, not knowing evil spirits control some aspects of their lives.

Some churches are also operating with occultic powers. In public, they act like sheep. These are the ravening wolves we must be careful of. The Holy Spirit has shown me several visions of some men of "God" I honoured out of ignorance.

Some of them have evil eyes. Some of them are dangerous in the spirit. The Holy Spirit has revealed to me in the spirit; some of them are covetous. They are only concern about church money, not the salvation and welfare of the lost souls. I speak from visions God has shown me.

The Holy Spirit has shown me several visions about some men of God. They don’t care about the poor souls in the church. Some of them, too, are like chameleons in the spirit. I never knew them until I got closer to them in the spirit. Some of these false leaders abuse the people in the church. Jesus Christ has revealed these visions to me in the Spirit, but I have not published some of them.

There are some men of God I have honoured them from my heart. Some are from God (genuine). Some of them anointed and imparted me in the Spirit. If I should write all the visions, God has shown me, child of God, you will be surprised because some ministers of "God" look innocent in the outward appearance.

I need some clarifications before I can publish these visions. Some ministers of God I honoured attacked me with strange sticks (disgrace and betrayal) and knives (wickedness and repentance) in the spirit, but God delivered me. Glory to God! 

Some ministers of "God" also tried to initiate me into strange groups through dominance and strange foods (meats). Jesus Christ has delivered me from these wolves in sheep clothing! Hallelujah!

Some ministers of God, too, came to my rescue when the false ministers of "God" attacked me in the Spirit. Some ministers of God too are waiting for me to climb to a specific ladder so they can walk with me. 

Jesus Christ has revealed all these visions to me in the Spirit. I am sharing with you some of the visions God showed me because I want you to be vigilant in these last days (Meditate on 1 Petr 5:8-9 and Matthew 7:15-20).

Failure to conform to deceptive tradition in the church makes you an enemy. Christ Jesus is commanding corrupt leaders in the body of Christ to repent or else He will allow the world and some religious people to exceedingly trouble and persecute them.

Sometimes God allows the unbelievers and some religious people to persecute the church because the church has enforced the Jezebel spirit to operate in the ministry. Jesus Christ can allow the spirit of death to strike His people because of their disobedience.

Jesus Christ can allow evil. These are the words of Jesus Christ to leaders in His Kingdom. Read for yourself.

And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Revelation 2:21-23 KJV

Jesus Christ will punish those (Christians) that allows the spirit of Jezebel to control the church. Jesus Christ has promised us that if we dismantle the false traditions and deceptive doctrines in the Church, He will give us the power to rule.

That is our heritage as workers in the vineyard. We are rulers of nations, which means Christians can be Presidents, ministers, and Kings over nations. Jesus Christ promises us (victorious one) that He will give us the power to rule over nations.

And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

And I will give him the morning star.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Revelation 2:26-29 KJV

We will receive one of the crowns Jesus Christ wears in the Celestial City if we take heed of His instructions. Hallelujah!
