SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD

& HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS...

Matt 6:33

SPECIAL REPORT:

FAMINE IN EAST AFRICA

For the last year we have been monitoring a worsening situation on the ground in East Africa.

Many of the FBF leaders, Preachers, Pastors and all have been reporting steadily growing food prices, and exhausting local supplies of grain... that are fetching a higher price in exports... making an already bad situation worse. We ask for your prayers and careful consideration on how you can help this situation. This situation is not that much different than that of the book of ACTS for Jerusalem... when the churches and individuals sent funds for helping in a real crisis. So we have it here in East Africa today. Here is their story:

From Brother Wachana - Uganda

My dear brother Robert, peace and grace to you,

FAMINE AND STARVATION IN UGANDA

I am informing you to the best of my knowledge and through almighty God that people are facing famine and starvation in our country, Uganda even in our church Christians are facing it tough.

The root cause last year there was a lot of down pour of “rain" which resulted into flooding in most parts of Uganda from June up to December which means that the harvest indeed was very poor.

The little harvest (food) experienced by the farmers was sold to the businessmen, men who kept into their stores, so that poor peasants remained with nothing in their homes.

The businessmen are selling the food to the neighboring countries like Kenya, Congo, Southern Sudan, Rwanda and Tanzania at high prices living the Uganda to suffer.

The people are not copying with the high prices of food because like one kg of posho flour is at 2000/=, one kg of cassava flour is at 1500/=, one kg of millet flour is at 2500/= e.t.c

To put it in different terms, the cost of food has risen some 250 - 300% and more over the last year... and still rising!!! Who could deal with that? Lord... have MERCY on us, we PLEAD!

Some people are eating one meal within a day and others are going minus food plus some who are depending on mangoes and Wild fruits facig the forests. People here have sold their animals and birds cheaply to get the highly costly food.

The situation is not good... it needs prayer to the almighty God and assistance because we are hoping the harvest in late August.

May the good Lord Bless.

Praise be to the God and father of our lord Jesus Christ! Continue in prayer over time is needed my beloved brother, Just as Moses twice stayed on the mountain forty days before God for the people of Israel (Deut 9:25-26;10:10-11) and just as Jacob said to God” I will not let you go unless you bless me (Genesis 32:26) so we see in Jesus life pattern of much time given to prayers. This way we are standing in faith because we know that our brothers also throughout the world are undergoing the various kind of sufferings. And the God of all Grace who called us to his eternal glory in Christ after we have suffered a little while will himself restore us and make us strong, firm and steadfast. To Him be the power for ever and ever amen. Grace and peace be yours in abundance. Yours in Christ,

Bro WACHANA

As I speak now I am in Busia Town preparing to baptize (emersion) new born again Christians tomorrow on Wednesday.

These are some of the people
Bro Wachana ministers to

You can see the devotion level and commitment of our Brother's and Leader's in FBF... as bad as the situation is on the ground, these men continue in the Preaching and the teaching of Jesus' Word... in the proclamation of the Kingdom for all who would draw in unto Him in these last days. Undaunted, they steadily move forward with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Consider: In a similar situation, what would you see in a Western Nation, or in your own nation?

Brother James reports from the road:

Dear Brother Robert,

Please we were in Kampala over the last week were preaching the gospel of Christ. In deed we are most of the time with my brother roy but because we had a call from one of the brothers in the kingdom who wanted to hear more from us and help them spread the news we left for Uganda for a week. Unfortunately did not have enough time to meek our fellows but is was productive for us to spread our arm as FBF.

It is very crucial for us to engage our efforts together for the sake of peace and the sake of salvation because now Kenya is very dangerous place as terror groups have left bombing the Kenya soldiers and resort to be throwing grenade attacks at either social places in Kenya or inside the churches to spare people from going to church please pray for us, as very much as the target is going to extend in the Open Air Proclamation, big meetings, and political gatherings in this election year. Things could get way out of control!

In deed famine is eating East Africa and things are not easier day by day… this is an area which needs much prayer, and more. We are praying for you too, that in all your goings and doing, the Lord is making His direction apparent to you, in your prayers, work and current living thank you.

Pastor James.

Bro Ben of FBF Bungoma writes on:

Al Shaabab and High food prices - A Threat!

In Kenya and other African
countries you never know what you will see tomorrow. You see I happen to
run a small shop that sells food-stuff and I used to satisfy
everybody's need a few years ago, but nowadays my shelves are empty
owing high prices of sugar, maize flour, cooking fat, kerosene and
every other item. Previous when one lacked food you would hear them
say they are surviving on water, but currently even the price of water
is just like any other food. Husbands are dodging their wives, many
employers are retrenching their staff, and parents are running away
from their children. When I see all these what hits my mind is that
these are the last days. On the other hand there is this gang from
Somali known as Al-shaabab that is causing havoc in Kenya, especially
amongst Christians. Most preachers are afraid of organising for
open-air Crusades, revivals for fear that they could be targetted. We
FBF sympathisers are no exception considering the fact that most of
our proclamations attract a large number of people. So wherever you
are reading this from, spare atleast 5 minutes in a day and remember
these families that are going hungry in your prayer and our Christian
gatherings that are being targetted and I believe God will respond to
their cry in the same way He responded to the cry of Israelites in
Egypt.
Remain steadfast in the Lord, Shalom
~ Pst Ben, Bungoma, Kenya

Sister Esther gives a woman's perspective:

... Back to point of famine in Uganda the food has increased much even from 300 to 350% this has become like these because of population and the big number of people run to towns because of lack of jobs and most of them are not educated because of poverty as you know wars have disturbed much children and women many of them has become orphans and for women they become mothers when they are still children so on. of that for the people have spaces to grow food they are not trained how to use the land you can find some one with 3 acres of land but lack food when he or she have only 6members in the family others incited of using that land they sell it and buy motorcycles wick can give them daily money... there are many problems at this time... and much much prayer is needed...

They are coming from all around

With East Africa facing its worst drought in 60 years, affecting more than 11 million people, the United Nations has declared a famine in the region for the first time in a generation. Overcrowded refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia are receiving some 3,000 new refugees every day, as families flee from famine-stricken and war-torn areas. The meager food and water that used to support millions in the Horn of Africa is disappearing rapidly, and families strong enough to flee for survival must travel up to a hundred miles, often on foot, hoping to make it to a refugee center, seeking food and aid. Many do not survive the trip. Officials warn that 800,000 children could die of malnutrition across the East African nations of Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Kenya. Aid agencies are frustrated by many crippling situations: the slow response of Western governments, local governments and terrorist groups blocking access, terrorist and bandit attacks, and anti-terrorism laws that restrict who the aid groups can deal with -- not to mention the massive scale of the current crisis.

"We were hungry and couldn't get work.
We traveled as a family but soon after we arrived my husband died, leaving me a widow and my children without a father.
I just need help — anything."

— Dainabo, a Somali 30-year-old mother of three, who arrived in the refugee camps in Kenya after walking for six days.

Immediate Help Needed in the Horn of Africa Famine Crisis

The worst humanitarian crisis in the world continues in the Horn of Africa, where more than 13 million people are struggling to survive and are in need of urgent, lifesaving humanitarian assistance. Women, children and the elderly in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti have been suffering disproportionally during this crisis.

It's estimated that more than half of these deaths have occurred in children. In southern Somalia alone, the number of children requiring treatment for acute malnutrition nearly doubled in the second half of the year.

This drought-stricken region has experienced a rainy season this fall causing flooding which has cut off the delivery of much-needed aid. And the rains have led to outbreaks of waterborne diseases, such as malaria, cholera and dengue fever — especially in weak children.

Help is Truly Needed...

Dadaab Refugee Camps: Kenya

Today, roughly 500,000 people, almost all Somalis, live as refugees in Dadaab, Kenya. The Dadaab refugee complex is made up of three camps and is considered the third largest city in Kenya. At the height of the influx of refugees into the camps, more than 80 percent of the new arrivals were women and children, who were exhausted, weak and extremely hungry from their trek. Many of these arrivals, especially the children, were on the verge of death when they reached the camps.

Please... consider how you can help in this time of Church History. Thank you .

Exposition from Matt 7 continues

Matt 7:12 - 29

The Golden Rule

(Matthew 7:12) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

The immediate connection of verse 12 with the preceding seems to be this: since our Father is a giver of good things to us, we should imitate Him in showing kindness to others. The way to test whether an action is beneficial to others is whether we would want to receive it ourselves. The “Golden Rule” had been expressed in negative terms at least one hundred years before this time by Rabbi Hillel. K’ung Fu-Tze, a writer in China, also known as Confucius, said a similar thing. He said: “Don’t do that which you don’t want people to do to you.” This statement is negative and it’s passive. However, by stating the rule in positive terminology, Jesus goes beyond passive restraint to active benevolence. Christianity is not simply a matter of abstinence from sin; it is positive goodness. But such a principle cannot be consistently practiced by a natural person. Only a righteous person is able to practice this rule and thereby demonstrate the spiritual change that has come about in his life. An individual who is able to live this kind of life obviously possesses the righteousness Jesus demanded (Mat 5:20). Such a person’s righteous acts do not save him, but because he has been delivered he is able to demonstrate true righteousness toward others. It is NOT a way of salvation; it is the fruit of the gospel.

This saying by Jesus is the Law and the Prophets, that is, it summarizes the moral teachings of the Law of Moses and the writings of the Prophets of Israel. The righteousness demanded by the OT is fulfilled in converted believers who thus walk according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4). If this verse were universally obeyed, it would transform all areas of international relationships, national politics, family life, and church life.

The Narrow Way

(Matthew 7:13) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

This verse is a rebuttal to universalism - that there are many paths to God. This verse also refutes the idea of ecumenicalism – that it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you are sincere. As you go through life, if you find yourself with many people, and the gate you are going through is gigantic and open to all, then you have

the wrong gate. It is important to note that Jesus Christ is the gate or door (John 10:9). He is also the way (John 14:6). We are to focus on the gate to find our way home. Sincerity is not enough. You can sincerely drink poison and still die! We must enter through the right gate and walk on the right way – that is Jesus Christ!

(Matthew 7:14) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The Lord now warns that the gate of Christian discipleship is narrow and the way is difficult. But those who faithfully follow His teachings find the abundant life.

These verses also have an application to the gospel by depicting the two roads and destinies of the human race. The wide gate and broad way lead to destruction (Pro 16:25). The narrow gate and difficult way lead to life since Jesus is both the gate (Joh 10:9), the way and the life (Joh 14:6). But while this is a valid application of the passage, the interpretation is for believers as Jesus preached this sermon to his disciples (Mat 5:1-2). Jesus is saying that to follow Him would require faith, discipline, and endurance. But this difficult life is the only life worth living. If you choose the easy way, you will have plenty of company, but you will miss God's best for you.

In light of the whole sermon, it was obvious Jesus was comparing the wide gate and the broad road to the outward righteousness of the Pharisees. If those listening to Jesus followed the Pharisees’ teachings, their path would lead to destruction (apoleian, “ruin”). The narrow gate and road can also refer to Jesus’ teaching, which emphasized not external requirements but internal transformation. The Lord Jesus acknowledged that few would find the true way, the way that leads to life (i.e., to heaven, in contrast with ruin in hell). This means that the majority of people who ever lived will spend an eternity in hell. When someone confronts you by saying: “Are you telling me that all those sincere people from other religions, like Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, are all lost and will spend an eternity in hell?” … you can reply with these verses in Matthew 7:13-14 and say that they will be lost unless they come to the right gate! At an airport-terminal, if you want to reach your destination, you must make sure that you walk through the right gate otherwise you’ll end up at a different destination! The same applies to your eternal destiny!

False Prophets

(Matthew 7:15) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

The expression “wolves in sheep’s clothing” comes from this verse. Wherever the stern demands of true discipleship are taught, there are false prophets who advocate the wide gate and easy way. They water down the truth until, as C. H. Spurgeon said, “There is not enough left to make soup for a sick grasshopper.” These men who profess to be speaking for God come in sheep's clothing, giving the appearance of being true believers. But inwardly they are ravenous wolves, i.e., they are vicious unbelievers who prey on the immature, the unstable, and the gullible. They are out to devour you. They are not in here innocently misguided, they are here as minister to the church of Satan!

There can be little doubt that He intended this as a warning, for He prefaces His statements with a very strong Greek term “beware,” literally, “be wary of or take care, because of” false prophets.

Again, to come back to the subject of judging, Jesus commands us to judge by being wary of false prophets, which again necessitates that we judge who is, and is not, a "false prophet." So the question is: How do you know who is a false prophet and who is not? How do we tell? See the next verse!

(Matthew 7:16) Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

This is how we can detect false prophets. We shall know them by their fruits. We are not judging the intents of the heart as that is God’s business, but we are called upon to be fruit inspectors. Take a good look at their lives’! 1 Jn 4.1,4

(Matthew 7:17) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

A Tree is known by it’s fruit! When you taste it, you shall know soon enough.

(Matthew 7:18) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Their licentious lives and destructive teachings betray them. A tree or plant produces fruit according to its character. Thorn bushes cannot bear grapes; thistles do not bear figs. A good tree bears good fruit and a bad tree bears bad fruit. This principle is true in the natural world and in the spiritual world. The life and teaching of those who claim to speak for God should be tested by the Word of God: “If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isa 8:20).

(Matthew 7:19) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

For amplification of all this please read Paul’s letters. Note especially the following verses in those letters: Col 2:8; 1 Tim 4:1; 6:20; 1 John 4:1-3; 2 Cor 2:17; 11:13-15; Titus 1:10, 11. Also note that a false prophet might even have been saved at one time. The false prophet is here described as a tree that is cut down (thus it must have been planted before it can be cut down) and thrown into the fire. There is therefore no such thing as once-saved-always-saved. “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Rom 11:22)

The destiny of the false prophets is to be thrown into the fire. The doom of false teachers and prophets is “swift destruction” (2 Pet 2:1).

(Matthew 7:20) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Christ pointed out that the false prophets would come. There was not a doubt in the mind of the Son of God that this would take place, and the history of the heresies of the first five centuries of the Christian church bear out the accuracy of His predictions. Christ further taught that the fruits of the false prophets would also be apparent, and that the church would be able to detect them readily. Let us never forget that “fruits” from a corrupt tree can also be doctrinal, as well as ethical and moral. A person may be ethically and morally “good” by human standards, but if he sets his face against Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and rejects Him, his fruit is corrupt and he is to be rejected as counterfeit.

(Matthew 7:21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The Lord Jesus next warns against people who falsely profess to acknowledge Him as Savior, but have never been converted. How do I know this? Because in verse 23 He told them that “I NEVER knew you!” In other words, they have never been in a personal relationship with Him! In Luke 13:25-27 these people may include those who were formerly believers as there Jesus replied with simply “I do not know you”. The lesson in both passages is the same. Not everyone who calls Jesus, “Lord” will enter the kingdom of heaven. Not everyone with a Bible under his arm is saved. Only those who do the will of God enter the kingdom. The first step in doing the will of God is to believe on the Lord Jesus (John 6:29). Then, we must learn to ‘overcome’ by the Blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony and love not our life unto the death .

(Matthew 7:22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

They claim to have prophesied in the name of Jesus Christ, they claim to have cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ, they will point out that in the name of Jesus Christ they have done many wonderful works.....

(Matthew 7:23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

These are perhaps the most frightening verses in the Bible. Vast multitudes of professing Christians fit into the category spoken of here. They call Jesus “Lord,” but they practice lawlessness. They profess faith in Jesus, but have no regard for the divine Law. They tell “fibs” or “white” lies, take things that belong to others, have a roaming eye for the opposite sex, etc. They are liars, thieves, and adulterers at heart, who will be cast from the gates of heaven into the jaws of hell. Their protestation will be in vain. Jesus will declare to them that He never knew them or acknowledged them as His own.

From these verses we also learn that not all miracles are of divine origin and that not all miracle workers are divinely accredited. A miracle simply means that a supernatural power is at work. That power may be divine or satanic. Satan may empower his workers to cast out demons temporarily, in order to create the illusion that the miracle is divine. He is not dividing his kingdom against itself in such a case, but is plotting an even worse invasion of demons in the future.

Those hearing this sermon must have wondered about the religious leaders, who seemed to be good men, teaching spiritual truths about Messiah and His kingdom. Jesus made it clear they were not good for they were leading others astray. Even if they were doing supernatural deeds — prophesying in His name, driving out demons, and performing many miracles, they were not obedient to the Father, continually doing His will. They would be refused admission to the kingdom because Jesus had no personal relationship with them. It is not what you know, it’s who you know. It’s not how much of the Bible you know, it’s who you know. Are you in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? The issue here is FELLOWSHIP, not head-knowledge, nor is it even service! Agape love is reciprocal in nature.

Parable of Two Builders

(Matthew 7:24) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

The Rock is Jesus Christ (1 Cor 10:4; Isa 28:16; Rom 9:33). (in a concordance, just follow the word “Rock” in the Old and New Testiment!

(Matthew 7:25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Jesus closes His sermon with a parable that drives home the importance of obedience. It is not enough to hear these sayings; we must put them into practice. They say that “learning is the modification of behaviour”- in other words - don’t just listen, do them. The disciple who hears and does Jesus' commands is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. His house (life) has a solid foundation and, when it is battered by rain and winds, it will not fall. Anyone who builds on a foundation other than Jesus Christ will be in big trouble as can be seen from the next verse…

(Matthew 7:26) And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

The foolish man was the one who heard the sayings of Jesus, but did not obey them. It’s not the world that hears the sayings of Jesus and doesn’t obey them. Most know only the “Golden Rule” and “Judge not,” and even then their understanding is darkened. However, the Church is filled with false converts who sit among God’s people and hear His words, but don’t obey them. They build their house on sand rather than on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ and His words. A. W. Tozer said, “It is my opinion that tens of thousands of people, if not millions, have been brought into some kind of religious experience by accepting Christ, and they have not been saved.”

(Matthew 7:27) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

The person who hears Jesus' sayings and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. This man will not be able to stand against the storms of adversity: when the rain descended and the winds blew, the house fell because it had no solid base.

If a person lives according to the principles of the Sermon on the Mount, the world calls him a fool; Jesus calls him a wise man. The world considers a wise man to be someone who lives by sight, who lives for the present, and who lives for self; Jesus calls such a person a fool. It is legitimate to use the wise and foolish builders to illustrate the gospel. The wise man puts his full confidence in the Rock, Christ Jesus, as Lord and Savior. The foolish man refuses to repent and rejects Jesus as his only hope of salvation. But the interpretation of the parable actually carries us beyond salvation to its practical outworking in the Christian life.

In conclusion Jesus presented the two options open to His listeners. They were now responsible for what they had heard and must make a choice. They could build on one of two foundations. One foundation was likened to a big rock and the other to sand. The foundation determines the ability of a structure to withstand the elements (rain and winds). The rock foundation represented the Lord Himself and the truths He had been presenting, especially the truth concerning inner transformation. The sand spoke of Pharisaic righteousness which the people knew and on which many were basing their hopes. In storms the first would give stability; the second would result in destruction. Thus hearing and heeding Jesus’ words is wise; one who does not is foolish. Only two courses of action are possible — two kinds of roads and gates (Mat 7:13-14), two kinds of trees and fruit (Mat 7:15-20), two kinds of foundations and builders (Mat 7:24-27).

(Matthew 7:28) And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Why were the people astonished at his teaching? Because it was so radical? The next verse gives the answer…

(Matthew 7:29) For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

The people recognized a difference between Jesus' teaching and that of the scribes. He spoke with authority; their words were powerless. His was a voice; theirs was an echo. As one commentator wrote: “The consciousness of divine authority, as Lawgiver, Expounder and Judge, so beamed through His teaching, that the scribes' teaching could not but appear drivelling in such a light.”

The Teachers in Jesus day would often quote other people, Rabin, or accepted ‘tractates’ from certain speakers. However… Jesus often said: “you have often heard… but, I SAY UNTO YOU! That is a MUCH DIFFERENT TONE… One of Authority, when it comes to proclaiming the Truth! Yes… Jesus would often quote the Scriptures! ALL of the Power of the Godhead Bodily flowed through Him to His hearers when HE spoke! Consider: The Voice of Many Waters poured life unto all those who had an ear to hear. Amen.

As a result of this sermon, the crowds of people following Jesus were amazed at His teaching. “Amazed” (exeplessonto, lit., “struck out”) means “overwhelmed.” It suggests a strong, sudden sense of being astounded, and is stronger than thaumazo (“to wonder or be amazed”). Matthew used exeplessonto four times (Mat 7:28; Mat 13:54; Mat 19:25; Mat 22:33). Jesus had just demonstrated the inadequacies of the Pharisees’ religious system. The righteousness they knew was not sufficient for entering His kingdom. The authority of Jesus is what amazed them, for He taught as a Spokesman from God — not as the teachers of His time who were simply reflecting the authority of the Law. The contrast between Jesus and the religious leaders was decidedly most pronounced.

Thus… Jesus concludes His teaching that was (is) geared towards His disciples! Those who would follow Him to a top of a mountain…. Take time off from their busy schedules, and spend a few weeks travelling with preparations to stay with Jesus!

My friend… are you preparing now to ‘stay with Jesus?’ Is that what marks your life, your home, your marriage, your thoughts, your speech and your heart’s desire? Is Jesus truly your First LOVE above all else? How much conscious thought do you actually give to Him? Or… are you locked into “prayer without ceasing?!”

This is that narrow road that leads to Eternal Life. There is no other! Amen

For if you know Him… you will never leave Him! You may hit some rough road, or curvy road… some high roads and some low roads… but, you will not fall! A Righteous man falls 7 times… but he continues to get up and continues to PRESS ON! Nothing will keep him down! Oh no! He knows the King of Glory!!

That is our care and our caution for you. Stay with Jesus—every day! When people look at our life, do they see a sojourner/ stranger in this land… or do they see someone who looks just like all those who live in their world… with so much of the things of this world… 1 Jn 2:15-18

… the LORD knows… and we know. Remember, it is Agape love for the Father to discipline All His children! That is a sure sign of His love! May we ever press unto the the high calling of God in Christ Jesus… and let not the World, the Flesh or the devil take your reward! Jesus Christ… Lord, Saviour and Master forever! The LORD Omnipotent reigneth! HalleluYah! We thank Jesus for His personal teaching to us.

Now… may He leave behind His most choice blessings upon you as you continue with Him in praise and Holy Passion for the Kingdom of God Eternal! Selah.

(The sermon on the mount began 4-5 years ago with you... it has been our pleasure to serve.)

Much emphasis is given by our LORD and the Apostles in their teaching on the importance of the PREACHING or DECLARING the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is the POWER of God on earth as given to men (Rom 1.16)... as it provides the most coverage in every area.

The words used for PREACH, PREACHING carry with it the Open Air Proclamation just as a TOWN CRIER! It is never a 2 eay conversation... but a DECLARATION TO ALL! The Church Bride of Christ is to be the VOICE of the Bride and the Bridegroom in this untoward generation.

It has been, and remains the privilege of this ministry to expose men to this dimension of the Gospel as prescribed by our LORD JESUS CHRIST! May we present the Truth in Love... as Jesus did. Amen.
