So, David went on and became great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him. 2 Samuel 5.10

No servant of God should allow his faith to become paralyzed, failing to grow to the stature of Christ, which is the divine will for the saved. The Scriptures declare: till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4.13). We still have much to receive from the Lord, so it is necessary to keep on going – until the blessings are fulfilled! Amen?

We were saved from the fall in Eden, when we suffered all kinds of evils. And where is restitution? We have entered the time when God will accomplish it. In Moses’ Law, if a thief stole something and was caught, he had to pay for what he had done: “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.” (Exodus 22.1). The question is: will you be restored or not?

It is clear that the eternal thief, the devil, will not give us the fourfold or fivefold ransom for stealing a small or large thing from us – but yes, God’s justice. The Lord says: “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you (Joel 2.25). The Creator will restore us all that was lost by the action of these “insects”. Do you believe?

The message we have to announce is the Good News, the Gospel. When people hear about the Lord, who confirms the Word that is preached, they convert and repent of their sins. Moreover, the period in which we lived in iniquity will also be restored to us to fulfill the wonderful work. Today, the lack of the wonderful operations is not because of the Most High, but because of the lack of the truth, in those who don’t know what they must preach.

So says the eternal Word: How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? (Romans 10.14). It is necessary to teach the ministers of the gospel not to speak whatever they like, but what is in the Bible. Woe to anyone who does the work deceitfully (Jeremiah 48.10).

This is the price to be paid by the priest who didn’t teach the Word, but spoke what he thought best: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children (Hosea 4.6). Only say what is in the Holy Scriptures.

According to the Bible, we must to do the same work that Jesus did and taught: For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you (John 13.15). Whoever is wise will act as the Lord does, but the rebellious one, by allowing himself to be deceived by the devil, consciously sins. God is the righteous Judge!

In Christ, with love,
