Understand Matthew 25:31- 46

Do you think you are going to meet Jesus one day? 


Matthew 25:32-33 EASY

[32] People from all the countries in the world will come together in front of me. I will put them into two groups. I will do it in the same way that a shepherd puts his sheep and goats into two groups. [33] I will put the sheep on my right side and the goats on my left side.


The truth is, everyone will meet Him; the only question is which side you will be on. Will you be a goat or a sheep? Today, we have many goats draped in sheep’s clothing. They aren't wolves—and that is exactly what deceives people. Because there are no visible sharp teeth or claws, many fall for the act of these false Christians. They are hypocrites who speak of things they never practice and do the exact opposite of what the Word of God commands. They are lawless; they refuse to be ruled by anyone—not by the laws of this country, and certainly not by the laws of God.

​Jesus is meant to be the standard for how we live. His Word should be our blueprint so that we may one day meet the Father in peace. The terrifying reality for these hypocrites is that they will meet the Father, but they will be on the side where Jesus does not vouch for them. When the books are opened, they will have to answer for every one of their transgressions, unlike those for whom Jesus has already interceded. On that day, their judgment will be more severe than that of Sodom and Gomorrah.

​When they stand before Him, they will list everything they did in His name, only for Him to deliver the most devastating words: "I never knew you." I truly don’t understand why people who claim to believe in Jesus refuse to believe what He actually said. If they truly believed Him, they could not live lives that so deeply dishonor Him and the Father.

​But what do I know? Apparently, modern theology suggests that the Lord’s grace covers intentional, habitual sin, and that Jesus must have been joking when He told the people He healed to "go and sin no more."

​Who are the goats?

​• The Justifiers: They excuse their deliberate sin by constantly saying, "Nobody’s perfect."

• ​The Performers: They engage in every "Christian" activity except for actually being like Christ.

• ​The Intellectuals: Their noses are always in the Bible, but to them, it’s just a work of science fiction. If they believed it was based on true events, their lives would show the evidence.

• ​The Presumptuous: They believe repentance is overrated because they think grace is a license to live however they want.

• ​The "Good" People: They are "very good" by the world's standards, but they refuse to be Godly.

​Which one are you? How much longer will you continue to deceive yourself?


I pray that the truth of God touches your heart so you could truly repent and become one of Jesus’s sheep instead of a sheepy-goat.

What are the gifts of the Spirit?

Good day Beloveds Did you know that the same power that resurrected Jesus Christ lives in each and everyone of his true followers? That is the reason Jesus said we should do what he did and even greater things. John 14:12 CEV [12] I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. John 14:15-16 CEV [15] Jesus said to his disciples: If you love me, you will do as I command. [16] Then I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit who will help you and always be with you. I know that it is hard to believe. Jesus spent so much time with his disciples to teach them to be like him because he was like our Heavenly Father. John 14:10 CEV [10] Don't you believe that I am one with the Father and that the Father is one with me? What I say isn't said on my own. The Father who lives in me does these things. When we read the book of Genesis we see that this was our origin, w...

Understand Ephesians 6:10-20 [The Armor of God]

Good day, Beloveds, Have you ever considered how you can protect your life and your family? The truth is, you can’t. That’s because protection is not your responsibility; it is provided solely by God. Many of us fail to realize that, in addition to human adversaries, we also face spiritual enemies. A common misconception among believers is that ignoring these spiritual entities will keep them at bay. In Ephesians 6:10-20, the Apostle Paul discusses these entities and explains how we can combat them. Here is a three-part teaching on the Armor of God and how to apply it practically in your life. Before listening, please say this short prayer:  “Heavenly Father, thank You for leading me to this teaching. Please prepare my heart and mind to receive Your word. Help me to live according to these teachings in Jesus's name. Amen.” Part 1: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-12) Part 2: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:13-17) Part 3: The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:18-20) I hope this teaching helps...

Understand John 8:12

Good day, Beloveds  I hope that you feel blessed on this excellent morning. As we continue to transform into Jesus' character with the help of the Holy Spirit, we need to remain faithful and endure in all circumstances. Today, we look at John 8:12. Here, Jesus is talking to the people and not his disciples. When Jesus speaks to his disciples, he shares more details, and when it's the crowd that follows him, he just says enough but doesn't share too much.  Scripture Jesus says, "I am the light for the world."  He could have plainly said that he is the Messiah. Remember God's plan was that the people wouldn't recognise the Messiah. He is the light to the world, meaningful he didn't come for certain people but for all people. "Follow me" , Jesus is inviting the people to be his disciples. To follow him is to obey his commands, do the works that he did and more, and become like him in character (the fruit of the spirit). "And yo...
