Many Who Are Last Will Be First

Matthew 19:27-30

Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

We haven't come to the renewal of all things. Soon it will be. Everything will be made new. There will be a new Ruler. There will be new rulers assisting Him. He will rule from a new and glorious throne. His rule will be righteous, just and fair. Everyone will be repaid accordingly for everything they had done, whether good or bad. Many who made themselves as kings and queens will be dethroned. Many who sought first place in this present world will be made last. Those who were last and humbled themselves before God and man to be last will be made first in God's coming kingdom.

Peter who said: "we have left everything to follow you! what then will there be for us" went back into fishing when the Lord Jesus Christ was tried and sentenced to death. The Lord Jesus Christ asked Him at this stage, if he really left everything to follow Him because he loved him or for some other reasons.He asked this question three times to Peter. Do you really love me? The Lord Jesus Christ had asked Peter this question because, only when you love Him you will obey Him. This was a reminder to Him. for the Lord had said earlier to him, "if you love Me you will obey my commandments and if you do not love Me, you will not obey my commandments". If you do not obey His commandments, how will Christ's divine nature be formed in you?

Welcome to the diligenthands of the Christformation prophet

Welcome to this prophetic writings blog that warns and saves lives from eternal condemnation as a result of continual sinning. Overcoming sinful living is the objective of the prophet. Diligently writing down of every timely warning to avoid catastrophic disaster by the fruit of our sinful living.

The fierce wind that blows away the bad fruit may also unintendedly throw to the ground, good fruit because they grow on the same ground. If forewarned, the good fruit could safely grow on solid ground and be well guarded and escape the wrath that they don't deserve.

Romans 16:25-27
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all nations might believe and obey him— to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.

The Lord's Prayer For You

John 17:20-23

New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Genesis 18: 18-20

The Lord Jesus' life on earth.....

Prophet

Ezekiel 33:30-33 (New International Version)

"As for you, son of man, your countrymen are talking together about you by the walls and at the doors of the houses, saying to each other, 'Come and hear the message that has come from the LORD.' My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain. Indeed, to them you are nothing more than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and plays an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice.
"When all this comes true—and it surely will—then they will know that a prophet has been among them."

What is the Christformed, Transformed, Christconformed Man?

With the indipensable help of the Holy Spirit who comes into you through salvation in Christ and who fills you as you allow Him to, will lead your soul to be transformed only to the proportion Christ is formed in your born-again spirit through your obedience to His leading.

Once you die through physical death or are caught up in the coming rapture(whichever comes first),you will be clothed with your incorruptible body (at the resurrection of the righteous in Christ), in proportion to the Christformation in your spirit and the transformation in your soul(mind) with the eternal Christconformed immortal and imperishable body.

That's why our obedience to the Holy Spirit now is vital. The more you choose to yield yourself to His leading, the more He will graciously lead you to full Christformation,Transformation and Christconformed eternal body to the Heavenly Father's 'doxa' glory, eternal will and pleasure in His Son. John 14:23

To state it briefly, Christformation happens in our born again spirit in Christ,Transformation happens in our soul (mind) and Christconformation will happen to our resurrected body in Christ.

The question is ,can you name the Name of Christ and yet miss all these happening in you? The sad answer is "YES'....

My Personal Story

The greatest personal story of mine is when I first believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Lord, Redeemer, Savior and God. I knelt in humbleness of heart and confessed all my sins to Him in the privacy of my own closet (room). This happened after I had read the four Gospels according to; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, over and over again. I met my Savior whom I was looking for all this while, in those powerful pages. The Holy Spirit was there to guide me into all truth to see Christ and I heard the Heavenly Father inviting me to His side through Christ. All this happened when I was just a teenager aged seventeen. The exact time and date of this event was: 9th October 1977 at 3.00pm.( My eyes was on the clock, when I was about to pray for the first time). I recorded these wonderful moments with the Lord in my personal diary. I felt the burden of my sins leave me.
From that day on, everything was different in me. I did not know what was exactly happening in me but I was visibly reading the Bible everyday for hours during the night. There was so much joy in me reading the word of God that I would go the church library during the nights passing midnight to read and search the scriptures with all the concordance and reference books I could find there. Almost all the books in the library will be out from the shelf onto that study table. The surprising thing about it was that I was only seventeen years old when I did all these. No human being had encouraged or shown me these things. Where did it all come from? I realized that all my classmates in school were enjoying themselves either in the pubs or nightclubs with their girlfriends at that tender age of seventeen. I did not understand what was happening to me then but now I do, after nearly 32 years of walking with the Lord Jesus Christ, after turning away from a background of staunch parental roots in idolatry, witchcraft practices, sorcery and falsehood. I praise the living God for having chosen me for Himself and that I have this calling of God to be faithful to Him till the end. All praises to God and His Christ alone

Personality Tests

Snapshot Report
Extroversion 54
You scored somewhere in the middle between introversion and extroversion, which means that you draw characteristics from both ends of the spectrum. Sometimes, you need time to yourself, preferring to think things through on your own. Other times, you enjoy interacting with others. Overall, you are likely a fairly outgoing person who occasionally opts for solitude. You likely need a balance of alone time and time with others in your life because you can become a little overwhelmed if you ignore the introverted side of yourself.

Personal promise from the Lord our God....

Jeremiah 15:19-21 (New International Version)

Therefore this is what the LORD says:
"If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
I will make you a wall to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you," declares the LORD.
"I will save you from the hands of the wicked
and redeem you from the grasp of the cruel.

Stand up and say..........

God's Servants are like the Weather!

The weather is God's servant.......or rather,His Servants are like the weather!
Sometimes,He uses them to bless the ground,and at other times to flood the earth and wash away whatever there is.
Sometimes,He uses them to shine so that things grow as they
should or at other times to dry up all things,so that there is nothing left!
Sometimes to cool with breeze, at other times to blow everything away.Sometimes blessings,sometimes curses!
The weather is God's servant......or rather His Servants are like the weather.

I Am Planting Oaks of Righteousness..says the Lord

Isaiah 61:1-11 (New International Version)

The Year of the LORD's Favor
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]
to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated;they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
Aliens will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God.You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.
Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land,and everlasting joy will be theirs.
"For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity. In my faithfulness I will reward them and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed."
I delight greatly in the LORD;my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

The world hates the disciples....

John 15:18-25 (New International Version)

"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.
As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'

I AM SENDING YOU........

Ezekiel 2:3-10 (New International Version)

He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."
Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
