The Eleventh Hour, Come Believiing....

Matthew 20:5-7
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
So they went. “He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. “He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’

The door is still open for Christformation in you, but remember it is a "narrow door" that you need to make every effort to enter. Many will try entering the path of Christformation with their own strength without having to obey the leading of God the Holy Spirit but it will bring them no where. They will go only in circles never having any Christformation in themselves. Remember, Christformation only occurs in you when you obey all that Christ had commanded. The day is nearing where the ownwer of the house will get up to close the door of Christformation in you. When it is already too late to put in every effort towards Christformation in you, when the door is already closed, you may cry asking for more time but it will be over for you.

When there was ample of chances and time for you to know Christ's divine natures and allow them to be formed in you through your obedience to His word, you blew it away by turning to know and try the pleasures and passions of the sinful nature of the Devil in you instead.And now when the door is closed, you cry, "open the door". If you did not make every effort to know the divine natures of Christ, the length, the depth, the height and width of it and allow them to be formed in you, will it not be right for Christ our Lord to say to you,‘I don’t know you or where you come from.?'He is a just God and the foundations of His throne in heaven are made up righteousness and justice but here you are doing all the evil you can on earth. Musn't His will in heaven be done on earth? You have taken what He had said lightly.

Luke 13:23-25
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?” He said to them, “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ “But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

Do Not Think Evil of Others

Zechariah 7:10
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.’

The days of greed and emergence of every evil desire is here. Oppression imposed on the vulnerable is growing because of greed and emergence of every evil desire on earth. The mind, if it is not transformed into the mind of Christ, it will think evil of others. How does the mind(soul) get transformed into the mind of Christ? It is through Christformation in your born again spirit. But, how does Christformation occur in your born again spirit? Again, how does Christformation in your born again spirit bring about transformation of your mind into the mind of Christ fully? What happens after you have full Christformation in your born again spirit which has successfully transformed your mind into the mind of Christ fully? What will all these lead to? All these questions will be answered in the book 'Christformation in you'soon.

For the time being I would like to take a break with this question: How can you not think evil of each other, if Christ has not been formed in you? God detests the thoughts of the wicked. He knows the thoughts of the wicked are useless. They do not benefit anyone. Not even themselves!

Psalms 94:10-11 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
The LORD knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.

Flee the Evil Desires of Youth

2 Timothy 2:21-23
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.

Quarrelling is the way of youth. When I was a youth, I remember quarelling a lot. I wanted my way so I would just quarell with anyone who was attempting to stop me from doing the things i felt like doing. Does this sound familiar? We hear this statement very often, don't we? "Flee the evil desires of youth" means put to death the misdeeds of the sinful nature in you which urges you to misuse and abuse your body, mind and spirit. Make every effort to please God the Holy Spirit's leading in you and do not follow the overpowering desires of the sinful nature of the Devil in you.

If you are caught in a temptation, run from it! If you walked into it, turn back and run! Remember what you are after in life. You are suppose to be after full Christformation in you and why are you taking diversions? Pursue the divine natures of Christ so that they be formed in you. They can only be formed in you, when you obey the Lord Jesus Christ. A pure heart can only come from a heart that obeys all that Christ had commanded. Stupid and foolish arguments produces quarrels and how can your heart be pure if you are involved in it? You should run away and not be a part of anything that would make your heart impure.

Proverbs 4:13-15
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evil men. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way.

Spending What You Get on Your Pleasures

James 4:1-3
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

God knows all the hidden motives of your heart. You cannot fool Him like you always fool men. If you only live to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you, God knows it! God is aware of, how you brush aside His Spirit in you, when it comes to obedience. He knows why you kill and covet,quarrel and fight. You have only been living according to the desires and passions of the sinful nature of the Devil in you, although you claim otherwise. You can fool man but you cannot fool God. You have always filled your mind with the thoughts of how you could spend what you get on your pleasures.

You are not the only one who is battling with evil desires, many peoople are. It is what you choose to do in this battle that will make the difference. Do you obey God the Holy Spirit in you or the evil desires that originate from the sinful nature of the Devil in you? You should decide and be ready for the consequences of your own actions. You will be rewarded with full Christformatiion in you when you obey the leading of God the Holy Spirit.
But, when you decide to spend all your resources and strength on all that God has given you to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you, then there will be no Christformation in you.

Romans 8:12-17
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba,Father. ”The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Antipas My Faithful Witness

Revelation 2:13
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
I know where you live—where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city—where Satan lives.

Based on the report above, do you think God does not know what is happening in any corner of this earth? Don't you know that God knows where Satan sets up his headquarters in any part of this earth? All his movements are in God's view. It's only a matter of time when God acts. In the passage above, Satan set up his headquaters in a city. He directs all his evil deeds from there and controls all those who obey him to do evil on earth.
What is vile will be honoured blindly by those who delight themselves in wickedness. The wicked will freely strut about arrogantly doing evil freely and and will attempt to control others by their evil practices.

Psalm 12:8
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Once God decides to open the eyes of the people, many will be disillusioned. They would know that they had been decieved into honouring that which is vile, all this while. The headquarters of the Devil spreads evil just as it was in the days of Antipas. The Lord Jesus Christ warns us of many being easily deceived by honouring that which is vile or sinful. The sinful nature of the Devil in you is vile. The Devil will convince you it is alright to obey the sinful nature of the Devil in you, but in God's eyes it is disobedience towards Him. You must obey the leading of God the Holy Spirit in you, no mattter how difficult it gets. Do you know that the wicked depend on the evil they do to deliver them? But, evil cannot deliver you or anyone. Doing evil only binds you to the Devil more. It binds you to eternal destruction. If you trust in doing evil to deliver yourself, you will soon find out that you are heading towards destruction. Infact, whatever strongholds the wicked trust in, it will be pulled down.Evil can never be established anywhere.

Proverbs 21:22
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
A wise man attacks the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

Champions of Greed

Luke 12:13-21
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” And he told them this parable: “The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’ “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ “This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.”

If you are not "rich toward God", that would mean you do not have Christformation in you. How can you have Christformation in you, if you have been greedy for the things of this world? What more if, you have earned a title for yourself in this world that would show you as 'Champions of greed'. That would mean, you had appeared as a very 'clever' man or woman when it came to 'greed for more'. You have been an example of 'greed for more'.An example of covetousness! An example of abomination before the Lord! You have been as greedy as the grave that does not stop swallowing up the dead! Only a fool will take life easy; eat, drink and be merry. You can' have the best of both because living to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you is the root of all evil. When you say " take life easy, let's eat, drink and be merry" it shows that you only live to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you.

Matthew 6:23-25
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

It Will Not Be As It Was

>

Ezekiel 21:25-27
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
“‘O profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax, this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low. A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! It will not be restored until he comes to whom it rightfully belongs; to him I will give it.’

God always sets boundaries and limits for everythiing on His earth and Heaven which He had created for His pleasure and purpose.He threw the Devil and the all the other fallen angels, like lightning from heaven to this earth. This earth is the Devil's prison for all the arrogance and pride he had shown towards God. While he is in his prison, he is causing all the havoc on earth.But, God has set aside a date to end all the havoc he is causing on earth for good. He will never be found in the new heaven and new earth which God is creating in God's right hand now through His beloved Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. This new heaven and earth will be created with Christformation in you. God has placed all things on earth and heaven under Christ's charge now. Whoever obeys Him will be in the new heaven and new earth. Those who do not will be thrown into the lake of fire with the Devil and all his fallen angels.

Havoc is increasing on earth by the day, because the end is nearing.Confusion is in the Enemy's camp. The Devil and its angels can never be in agreement with each other. The Devil's kingdom is always a divided kingdom. Each demon has evil agendas of its own.This is the curse of sin. They will be forever in conflict with each other because of selfish ambition. Selfish ambition is evil in the sight of the Lord. It will be selfish ambition of each of the demons and the Devil that will destroy them once and for all from the face of this earth! Selfish ambition which is devilish wisdom, is self-destructive. With selfish ambition they will exalt themselves with pride and devilish arrogance but they will be brought low by the Lord, as low as the punishment of the lake of fire forever and ever! The more they exalt themselves, all the more will they be brought low to unprecendented ruins by the Lord God of hosts! Those who are humble through the divine natures of Christ that are formed in them will be exalted to God's right hand.

Luke 11:17-19
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

God Can Bring Conviction of Sins into Anyone

John 16:7-11
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

God can bring conviction of sins into anyone, absolutely anyone! You may think that you are a sinner who cannot be forgiven by God but when the conviction of your sins come from God the Holy Spirit as promised by Christ our Lord, you would want to turn away completely from pleasing the sinful nature of the Devil in you, no matter who you think you are. You may think that you are somebody great in this world but when God's conviction comes into you, you would want to repent of all your sins and turn completely to Christ so that His divine natures are formed in you instead. God the Holy Spirit is a great Counsellor. He counsels us to do the most right thing that would please God through Christ. Christ died for our sins but what are you still doing with those sins? Why are you still cherishing those sins He died for? Why are you still cherishing the sinful nature of the Devil in you that He has put to death on the cross?

Joshua as an Example

Joshua 1:6-9
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Among the many men who were delivered out of Egypt by Moses, it was Joshua who was seen by God as a capable man for taking over from Moses. Even Moses was not allowed to go beyond the wilderness. What was in Joshua that wasn't found in the other men? If you were to study the book of Joshua, you will find obedience to the Lord to be his plus point. He stood out with his obedience to the Lord. In the passage above,God was warning him not to give up on this and be careful to obey all the law Moses gave him. Obedience to the Lord, and not turning to please the sinful nature of the Devil in you as you like was the key factor for Joshua to be chosen as God's next leader. Moses was a leader cum deliverer of God's people out of Egypt while Joshua was to be a leader cum warrior in Canaan Land. The whole journey out of Egypt to Canaan Land is Christformaation in you. If you want successful full Christformation in you, you must obey all that Christ had commanded. You should realize by now that both Moses and Joshua are Old Testament types of Christ.Strength and courage to do God's will stems out of your obedience to the Lord.

Genesis 22:17-19
New International Version (NIV)
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,because you have obeyed me.”

Joshua experienced the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham. In which way are you going to experience the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham? The enemies in the seven cities were stronger and larger than the people of God who entered Canaan Land with Joshua as their leader cum warrior. This is a picture of Christ our Lord leading us after our salvation experience at the cross. The 'enemies' are the sinful nature of the Devil that has overpowered and ruled us all this while. With the help of the Lord our God, we shall overcome the sinful nature of the Devil in us and gain full Christformation in us if we obey Christ our Commander in chief till the end of our Christformation journey.
