WHO WILL BE THERE?... HOW MANY GO????

Lord Jesus the Christ is omniscient as well as omnipotent and omnipresent this in itself shall be a great comfort to the holy remnant in the end time….. Romans 11:3-5.

After fifteen years of tending sheep, a preacher gets to hear and see some rather unusual sights and stories. The most common question asked when people find you have a church is .. how many go to your church?.. who will be coming? . . how many attend in the evening?

Discernment says to me that these people are not honest with themselves and are by no means walking by faith. Jesus being omniscient said that if there be two or three of you gather together in My/Jesus name, He will make it a point to be there but it is obvious that the large majority do not believe what Jesus says. Some of the largest religious denominations in this city and nation do not even bother to plant churches or hold church services till they either have a certain number of people or the finances are rolling in.

They do not believe that where two or three gather in His name that He will attend the meet. We must also understand that most church goers aren't looking out for Jesus on Sunday anyway, their minds are elsewhere.. Ecclesiastes 5:1.

As one precious sister said to my wife, the Pentecostal church she was attending before she came to J.T.C.M.. was so bogged down in jealousy, covetousness and competition the women used to try to out do each other in the attirement realm each Sunday and this was the feature of the day ..yet the holy scriptures say flee such rot. Clothe thyself in humility and again let not a woman’s beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair or wearing gold or putting on fine apparel .. quote/1 Peter 5:5,1 Peter 3:3 .... Galatians 5:16-21.

The Laodecian church spoken about in the book of revelation is a perfect example of numbers, wealth, fine apparel and abundant earthly goods but the Lamb was locked out of the meeting. When the Lamb is in the meeting it seems like you are in the midst of the multitude for He is the majority. His presence fills all gaps, His joy fills to overflowing and His implant-ed word overtakes all walls, barriers and hindrances ..Zechariah 1:6.

I want to leave all the faithless, the unbelieving, and the masses who are deceived into thinking that Jesus is where the multitudes are with this one verse from the holy book ..”and after He had left the multitude they took Him along in the boat as He was and other little boats were also with Him.” It was the little boats that followed Jesus not the multitude .. Mark 4:36.

The captain of this little boat/J.T.C.M ... says to Australian churches ..why are you so fearful?.. how is it that you have no faith???

Amen.
