Ministry of Paradise

  As 2020 passes and 2021 arrives, for those of us in the KINGDOM OF GOD, we celebrate because it is one year closer to the COMING of our Lord, Savior and King JESUS to take us HOME to be with our FATHER in HEAVEN (Matthew 24:36, 25:31-34). We CELEBARTE because on th DAY OF CHRIST at his COMING we look forward to our inheritance of LIGHT   that is required for ETERNAL LIFE! “Wherefore God saith: ‘[AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT]’” (Ephesians 5:14). “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed” (1 Corinthians 15:51). “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the [LAST TRUMP]: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this [MORTAL MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY]” (1 Corinthians 15:52–53). “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that [GOD IS LI...

  During 2020 there were numerous news headlines about the man who may become the world’s first Trillionaire: DO NOT BE DECEIVED by this world’s wisdom: “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). NO AMOUNT OF MONEY on this earth can SAVE A SOUL! THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IS NOT ON THIS EARTH. HE IS IN HEAVEN. His name is JESUS CHRIST the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD who is the ONLY ONE GOD has given POWER to SAVE SOULS! “[GOD HATH SPOKEN ONCE; TWICE HAVE I HEARD THIS; THAT POWER BELONGETH UNTO GOD]” (Psalm 62:11). “For all the earth is mine” (Exodus 19:5).  “The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Psalms 95:5, 24:1). “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even [FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING], thou art God” (Psalm 90:2). “[THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GI...

“I choose EVERLASTING LIFE; I BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST!” “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3”3). “[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the power of God. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21). “[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36). “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

  Life on this earth is NOT going to get better! DO NOT BE DECEIVED by news reports that life is going to get back to normal when almost all the world’s population is vaccinated. These are complete and utter lies! Without any doubt a the COVID-19 pandemic is the beginning of a ‘PERFECT STORM’ IS FORMING ALL OVER THIS EARTH THAT WILL SOON BRING ABOUT A DRASTIC CHANGE IN LIFE as we know it all over the world. Our Lord Jesus expressly warned that in the soon COMING END OF YEARS: “All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matthew 24:8-9). “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls” (Luke 21:17-19). “And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated o...

“[IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD], that cannot lie, [PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN]” (Titus 1:2). “If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON OF GOD HATH THE WITNESS IN HIMSELF]: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON]” (1 John 5:9-11). “[THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH] in him should not perish, but have [ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “[FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD, NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR, NEITHER HATH THE EYE SEEN], O God, beside thee, what [HE HATH PREPARED FOR HIM THAT WAITETH FOR HIM]” (Isaiah 64:4). “[FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE EVEN UNTO THE END]” (Daniel 6:26). ...

  What we have desired in our lifetime will determine our inheritance on the LAST DAY. To desire heavenly things of the SPIRIT is to desire RIGHTEOUSNESS is to desire EVERLASTING LIFE (Matthew 25:31-34). To desire earthly things is to desire the things of the flesh is to desire UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is to desire EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT (Matthew 25:41, 46). The Apostle Paul further articulated, saying: “Now the works of the [FLESH] are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God” (Galatians 5:19–21). “But the fruit of the [SPIRIT] is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith” (Galatians 5:22). “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the fle...

  “That whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE ETERNAL LIFE]” (John 3:15). “[FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR] between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6). “For as the Father rises up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father which hath sent him. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man” (John 5: 21–23, 26–27). “[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36). “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AN...

“The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD’s throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men” (Psalm 11:4). “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves” (Psalm 100:3). “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in” (Isaiah 40:22). “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (Psalms 19:1}. “Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? ” (Isaiah 40:21). “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men” (Psalm 115:16). “No man hath seen God at any time; [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). “[FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR] ...

  “Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks.: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare” (Psalm 75:1). “PRAISE ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times” (Psalm 106:1-3). “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night” (Psalm 92:1-2). “Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20). “O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever” (1 Chronicles 16:34). “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).

  The Apostle Paul also reminded us, said: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil” (Romans 13:3). “Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light” (Romans 13:11-12). “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;   And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:13-17). “Take heed, brethren, lest t...

“[FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD, AND STEDFAST FOR EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM THAT WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED, AND HIS DOMINION SHALL BE EVEN UNTO THE END]” (Daniel 6:26). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16). “For the [PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that [PERISH FOOLISHNESS]; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the [POWER OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19). START, STAY and STEDFAST with JESUS to the END: “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and [HE THAT HATETH HIS LIFE IN THIS WORLD SHALL KEEP IT UNTO LIFE ETERNAL]. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be” (Matthew 12:24-26). “[HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS], hath one that judgeth him: [THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY]” (John 12:...

“The LORD liveth, [IN TRUTH, IN JUDGMENT, AND IN RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (Jeremiah 4:2). “The LORD is [RIGHTEOUS IN ALL HIS WAYS, AND HOLY IN ALL HIS WORKS]” (Psalm 145:17). “[SAVE THY PEOPLE], and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and [LIFT THEM UP FOR EVER]” (Psalm 28:9). “[THY PEOPLE ALSO SHALL BE ALL RIGHTEOUS]: they shall [INHERIT THE LAND FOREVER], the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified” (Isaiah 60:21). “[TRUTH] shall spring out of the earth; and [RIGHTEOUSNESS] shall look down from heaven” (Psalm 85:11). “Awake to [RIGHTEOUSNESS], and sin not; for some have not the [KNOWLEDGE OF GOD]” (1 Corinthians 15:34). “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psalm 119:89).     “[ALL SCRIPTURE] is given by [INSPIRATION OF GOD], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Timothy 3:16). “Knowing this first, that [NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPR...

“Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name” (Jeremiah 33:2). “Know ye that the LORD he is God: [IT IS HE THAT HATH MADE US], and not we ourselves; [WE ARE HIS PEOPLE, AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE]” (Psalm 100:3). “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES]: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. [YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL]: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE]: and [I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE] of the LORD [FOR EVER]” (Psalm 23:1-6). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “[MY SHEEP ...

Human beings are VANITY and therefore, all things in this world are VANITY: “[MAN IS LIKE TO VANITY]: his days are as a shadow that passeth away” (Psalm 144:4). “For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, [ALL THE DAYS OF HIS VAIN LIFE] which he spendeth as a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 6:12). “The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, [VANITY OF VANITIES; ALL IS VANITY]” (Ecclesiastes 1:1-2). “What [PROFIT] hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes 1:3). To REPENT OF SINS, BELIEVE in and to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY PROFIT under the Sun (John 3:16-18): “[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3). “[FOR THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD IS FOOLISHNESS WITH GOD]” (1 Corinthians 3:19). “[WHAT MAN IS HE THAT LIVETH, AND SHALL NOT SEE DEATH]? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of...

  JESUS! We must FOLLOW JESUS yesterday, today and FOREVER! We must keep DAILY in the RIGHT direction FOLLOWING JESUS! We follow JESUS CHRIST today, tomorrow and FOREVER: “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “For there is [ONE GOD], and [ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN], the man [CHRIST JESUS]: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6). “[ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL], who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ” (Ephesians 4:5-7). JESUS CHRIST, says: “[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: [AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44). “No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). “[IF ANY MAN WILL COME AFTER ME], [LET HIM DENY HIMSELF], and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS...

Many of us are much worst off financially today than last Christmas due to the global coronavirus pandemic. However, we must remind ourselves that our life as a human being is NOT measured in the abundance of things we possess in this world. Our Lord JESUS says: “TAKE HEED, AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: for a man’s life [CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS] which he possesseth” (Luke 12:15). On the LAST DAY when JESUS returns to this earth for the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the END OF THE WORLD NO AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THIS EARTH WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE ETERNAL LIFE TO SAVE A SOUL! The ONLY SAVIOR is JESUS CHRIST! “For God so loved the world, that [HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that whosoever [BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE] (John 3:16). “Forasmuch as ye know that [YE WERE NOT REDEEMED WITH CORRUPTIBLE THINGS], as silver and gold, but [WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, AS OF A LAMB WITHOUT BLEMISH AND WITHOUT SPOT]” (1 Peter 18–19). Now, ther...

“[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3). “[FOR SINCE BY MAN CAME DEATH], by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, [EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE]” (1 Corinthians 15:21–22). “[IN THE BEGINNING] was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.   All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:1-3). “[AND THE] Word [WAS MADE FLESH], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of [THE ONLY BEGOTTEN OF THE FATHER],) full of [GRACE AND TRUTH]” (John 1:14). “[WHO IS HE THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD]? this is he that [CAME BY WATER AND BLOOD, EVEN JESUS CHRIST; NOT BY WATER ONLY, BUT BY WATER AND BLOOD]. and it is the spirit that beareth witness, because [THE SPIRIT IS TRUTH]” (1 John 5:5-6). “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witne...

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16, 18). “[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the power of God. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21). Do you BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST? “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:23-24). “So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28). God sent hi...

 

  “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever” (Isaiah 9:6–7). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21). “To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).

  We celebrate of the utmost significance the birth of Christ for he is the Salvation of GOD. God sent Jesus to this earth for “a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel” (Luke 2:32). “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him” (1 John 4:9). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).  

  “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:1-2 , 10-11). “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people . For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour...

Before the birth of Jesus there was a STAR IN THE SKY IN THE EAST WHICH WAS A GUIDE FOR THE WISE MEN to find the place where he was born in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-2, 9). “When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:10-11). Just as the star in the east was sign of the birth of our King, one day there will be a sign in the EAST of the coming of Jesus Christ just before he returns to earth on the Last Day. “[FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMETH OUT OF THE EAST], and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great gl...

  BELIEVE in JESUS because God sent his ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to this earth for the glory of his people Israel and a light for the Gentiles (Luke 2:32). “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth” (1 John 5:5–6). “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever” (Isaiah 9:6–7). “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). “To him be glory and dominion for ever and ...
