The true believers have these traits

Bible Texts (Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: 2 Corinthians 6:3-18)

3 We are giving no one cause to stumble in anything, lest flaws be found with the service,
4 but in everything we are commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 in blows, in jails, in turbulences, in toil, in vigils, in fasts,
6 in pureness, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness, in holy spirit, in love unfeigned,
7 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the implements of righteousness of the right hand and of the left,
8 through glory and dishonor, through defamation and renown, as deceivers and true,
9 as unknown and recognized, as dying, and lo! we are living, as disciplined and not put to death,
10 as sorrowing, yet ever rejoicing, as poor, yet enriching many, as having nothing, and retaining all.
11 Our mouth is open toward you, Corinthians: Has your heart broadened?
12 Not distressed are you in us, yet you are distressed in your compassions.
13 Now, as a recompense in kind (as to children am I saying this), you also be broadened!
14 Do not become diversely yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? Or what communion has light with darkness?
15 Now what agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part a believer with an unbeliever?
16 Now what concurrence has a temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, according as God said, that I will be making My home and will be walking in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
17 Wherefore, Come out of their midst and be severed, the Lord is saying. And touch not the unclean, and I will admit you,
18 and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.

Dear reader, this week’s blog follows the discussions made on my last 2 blogs (Religions and Matrices confusions). It appears this kind of podcasts is coming out for a good reason. Perhaps, the time to draw the curtain of this current eon is drawing closer than one could imagine. No wonder, many bible speakers are coming out with their own versions of messages pointing to the coming of our Lord, Yeshua. I believe it is something for anyone true believer to look forward to.

The question now is, who are the true believers?

This may be somehow obvious for anyone to answer but it may surprise you that many may not get the answer correctly. There are believers and there are true believers. Believers may accept a doctrine brought to them and live their lives according to that doctrine. They may not fully understand why they have to believe what they were told but somehow, it works for them and it becomes their traditions. In Christian religion, believers have been conditioned to the fact that they have to believe in “Jesus Christ” to make heaven. Otherwise, they are doomed to spend the rest their eternity in “hell fire”. This is a conditional relationship between God and humanity according to the foreign missionaries. Many people buy this doctrine because it is relevant to their ways of live. However, it is a false doctrine. God's true love is not revealed in this doctrine.  This doctrine promotes fear of danger of hell not the grace and mercy of God through Christ to humanity.  According to history, some Western people came into Africa to indoctrinate Africans to be submissive as slaves to their masters as it was written in the scriptures. Thereby, making Africans subservient to the dictates of the Western colonizers. All these are brainwashing.

Who are the true believers?

The doctrines inculcated into Africans, South Americans and some Asian countries have made them create many church leaders who are also making slaves out of their fellow citizens. They are hypnotizing them with miracles, sign, wonders, human philosophy and sweet words. They wrap their messages with scriptures to cajole their audiences. They form slogans and make them chant some words to keep them under their control. Fake miracles and fake testimonies, scamming people for miracles, raping and child molestations among others have pervaded many places of worship. No wonders, some people are no longer interested in Christianity. Some have even openly burnt their bibles! Some have come to the conclusion that Christianity is a foreign religion and it is persona non-grata in most places around the world. Every country is different but the name “Jesus Christ” has become the mockery of many people around the world due to faults people have found in Christian religion. Some people are actually out of their various religions to free their minds from structures, traditions and matrices. So, where is the faith? Where is the believe? Is there hope?

How to spot the true believers

Apart from the common saying of sinners’ confession and prayers in places of worship, baptism and living Christian "holy life", is there something else expected of a true believer? The answer is yes!

The true believers can be summarized in 2 Corinthians 3 through 18. These people portray the traits Paul mentioned. These people do not give anyone reason to stumble in anything so that flaws will not be found in their services. They are mindful of their service to Yahweh. They are enduring in afflictions, in necessities, turbulence, distresses, in toil, in sleepless nights, in patience, in knowledge, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in the word of truth, in the power of God and through the practicing righteousness of God. These people are facing defamation in most times in the name of Yeshua. They are disciplined but not put to death. Some had died in their faith as they did not succumb to the pressure of their peers and the systems ruling their times. They are in constant sorrow but derive joy through it. They are poor but are making many rich. They appear to have nothing but have everything. These are the traits of the true believers. They are not popular but are not unrecognizable.

Let me ask you some thoughtful questions. 

How much money did Yeshua have before he died? Was it not Judas Iscariot that handled all the monies? Yeshua knew that Judas was a thief, yet he made him handle all monies collected. So, Yeshua did not own a dime! What did Judas do to Yeshua? He sold him at last! How much tithes did he collect? None. What are the names of his churches? How much houses did he build before he died? How many chariots of horses did he have? If your answers are no. Then, why is it that some that claim they represent him have all these? Why do they cajole millions of people that “holy spirit” told them to get a flying jet? Why did they tell people that “God” asked them to tell people to sow certain $$$ to get the blessing they are hoping God to give them? Why are they making people tying their blessings to giving when Yahweh himself gives without asking from his creations? There are millions of questions out there begging for earnest answers.

Are you with me so far?

So, I ask you once again. Why should people care to attend that place of worship next Saturday/Sunday? Why should people believe that person that called himself man of God. Or, should one say god of man? The true believers have things in normalcy. Their lives glorify Yahweh. They are not perfect but hope in Yahweh for every blessing. All Yeshua’s disciples including Paul did not create church for money making, miracle center, material earnings and self-glorifications. They are not pedophiles, or drug pushers. They made no pact with Satan and his demon for miracle work either.

You may be wondering on how believers become true believers. It may be hard to identify that one is a believer and the other one is not. However, the true believers have the spiritual fruit no one can give them. This fruit is from Yahweh (God of Heavens and Earth). It is faithfulness. You can call it faith. Galatians 5:22-23 talks about this Spiritual fruit. Not everyone has this spiritual fruit. If you have this fruit in you; you would undoubtedly believe that Yeshua is the savior of mankind especially of the believers (1 Timothy 4:10). As simple as this scripture verse is, many struggle with it. This particular faith is not the one that is common to you for God's miracles. This is not the kind of faith I am talking about. It is a special kind of faith. Not earned by work.

Why? Self-righteousness. 

Self-righteousness is a killer disease because it enables you to focus on what you have to do to Yahweh and his son, Yeshua for their work of salvation to humanity. Many religion leaders do claim that people need to show themselves worthy of this work of salvation. Remember that in Philippians 2: 13, it is Yahweh who works in you to do his will. Therefore, you cannot do anything by yourself to pay for his work of salvation. Yeshua’s message on the crucifixion tree (John 19:30) is that your work is not required because it is being accomplished by him on the crucifixion tree. So, if your mind (temple) cannot comprehend this, you are not to be blamed. This spiritual fruit is not yet in you. Those who have this fruit show the traits discussed in the paragraphs above. So, you see why Yeshua will reject some people according to Matthew 7:21-23? They believe in self-righteousness and outward deeds. Yeshua knows who are truly his because his father (Yahweh) brought them to him (John 6:44). These people are identified with the spiritual fruit of faith. These people are being drawn out of religion places. They have unrests in their minds and are thirsty for the real truth about Yahweh. They are no longer deriving joy in places of worship. They try to find why they are not happy but have no genuine reason. They are just fed up of religions and traditions of people. They are not perfect but are separated unto Yahweh. Their minds are crying for the real truth. They want to know God like never before. Something keeps telling them to leave places of worship. These are the people that are chosen before the creation of this world. They are being called out of religions and system around them. They have been justified. They are expecting to be glorified (Romans 8:29-31). These are the few people expecting to be snatched away anytime soon.

I hope this week’s podcast also makes you ponder. Perhaps provoking you somehow and makes you feel unsettled in your mind. I have good news for you. All will eventually have this faith but in their own class (1 Corinthians 15:20-23).

I hope to discuss something very important with you on why the world is groaning.

Thanks for your support.

 

Shalom!
