JESUS BLESSED NEW YEAR SPECIAL.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

YOUR PASSPORT FOR THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE SO FAR:
WHAT YOU MUST KNOW AND DO IF YOU WANT AN EXCELLENT NEW YEAR 2021.

GLORY IN THE CROSS ONLY. THERE IS THE VICTORY AND OUR CASE SETTLED. A BELIEVER IN THE CROSS HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED TO THE WORLD AND THE WORLD TO HIM OR HER ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURE AND SO CANNOT LIVE IN SIN. IF YOU STILL FIND PLEASURE IN SIN AND THE WORLD YOU HAVE NOT FOUND THE CROSS.

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY OF THE BIBLE FOR THE YEAR TO COVER THE ENTIRE BIBLE. I SUGGEST YOU COMBINE THE READING OF THE NEW-TESTAMENT AND OLD-TESTAMENT OR AS YOU ARE LED BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN TOUCH WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT EVERY DAY. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHEN YOU ARE THROUGH IF YOU CARE. YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS OUR CONCERN SO THAT WND OF FALSE DOCTRINES BLOWING EVERYWHERE WILL NOT DESTROY YOU. BUT RATHER YOU WILL BE ENRICHED AND BLESSED IN CHRIST LIKE NEVER BEFORE. KNOW THE TRUTH BY YOURSELF AND NEVER PLAY WITH SOUL HARVEST AND EVANGELISM THIS YEAR. BE BOLD TO SPEAK FOR JESUS AND DEFEND THE TRUE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. YOU ARE NOT CALLED TO PURSUE POPULARITY OR TO BE LIKED BY EVERYONE WHEN JESUS WAS NOT LIKED BY EVERYONE. REJOICE WHEN HATED OR REJECTED AS YOU STAND UP FOR JESUS IN TRUTH. IT IS A MIGHTY BLESSING WITH MIGHTY ETERNAL REWARD. I GET DISTURBED WHEN AM NOT HATED ENOUGH FOR CHRIST SAKE AND HIS TRUTH. IT MEANS YOU ARE COMPROMISING. JESUS SAID TO ME ON THAT DAY: “GO AND DO MORE.”

John 10:1-18 KJV
[1] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
[2] But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
[3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
[4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
[5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
[6] This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
[7] Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
[8] All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
[9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
[10] The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. [
11] I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
[12] But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
[13] The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
[14] I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep , and am known of mine.
[15] As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
[16] And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
[17] Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
[18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”

Jesus is the Good Shepherd because of what He did at the Cross. If you follow what you read in that scripture, the year is already a fulfilled one.
A sheep 🐑 doesn’t know where there is green pasture. Only the Shepherd knows where green pasture can be found. This year if you want things well, follow only the Good Shepherd. You are not following the Good Shepherd because you go to church or belong to a particular denomination. There is nothing like that in Heaven. You go to church to know the Good Shepherd more and more. A minister that is not pointing you to the Good Shepherd in spirit and in truth is a thief, robber, hireling or wolf 🐺. Jesus said so. The sheep 🐑 that refuses to follow the Shepherd is a break fast for the belly of the wolf🐺. Jesus knows you by your name and everything about you if you are His sheep 🐑 truly. This should give you a serious respite. The duty of a shepherd is clear. He leads the sheep 🐑. Shepherds have rod and staff. We are not going into full details about that but they are for correction and protection. A sheep 🐑 that neglects the shepherd is gone without hope of survival. When a sheep 🐑 misses it’s way, it cries until the shepherd locates it. The sheep 🐑 does not have a mind of it’s own and that is why it depends on the Shepherd for everything. If you have a mind of your own you cannot be a true follower of Christ. A hireling is not a shepherd. He is there basically for what he will gain selfishly. There are many hirelings in today’s churches which some ignorant sheep 🐑 see as shepherd. This is a big error capable of ruining one eternally. A hireling doesn’t care for the sheep 🐑 but for what he can get from the sheep 🐑. That is why he can abandon the sheep 🐑 should there be any threat. A sheep 🐑 knows the voice of the shepherd and the shepherd knows the sheep 🐑. There is a cordial relationship. That is why they can move together. A believer who doesn’t know the voice of the Lord is at risk. A hireling preaches to entertain you for his purpose. Where you will spend eternity is not his business. He can be calling the name of Jesus and using the scriptures to manipulate you. A sheep 🐑 that doesn’t recognize the voice of the Shepherd gets lost with the stranger. People are following strangers to strange ends. That is why some pastors are pastoring their members to hellfire instead of Heaven.

You are getting this message at this beginning of the year to help you in every form. If you will allow the Good Shepherd to lead you this year, you must see the difference in all ramifications. There are robbers and thieves as Jesus said in that scripture whom some are following today and the outcome will be devastating. It is a very serious matter. Some are under the spells of these robbers and thieves whom they are even ready to defend with their lives and end in had I known.
Hear this: John 10:9 KJV
[9] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” Did you understand what Jesus say there? There is no assurance in any outside Jesus Christ. Paul said follow me as I follow Christ. Do you want to have a super blessed new year? That is the key. Who are you following? Flee from strangers. Who is leading you in and out? I know you go to church and even sing in the choir and the rest. What will be the outcome of this year for you is who you follow.
The Bible says:

Psalm 23:1-6 KJV
[1] The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. [3] He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. [4] 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. [5] Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. [6] 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.”

People lack direction and instructions because they have no shepherds. Life is about who leads you. Jesus being your Shepherd doesn’t mean you don’t have trials at all but with the Good Shepherd, you are not moved. The world is full of evil and this demands that you don’t stray away from the Shepherd. There are thieves and robbers says Jesus. Watch against them. John 10:10. I repeat this for you to know how dangerous it is to move around without the Good Shepherd. These thieves might not look it but they will rob you of your soul and destiny not only money with wrong doctrines. The Good Shepherd feeds the sheep 🐑 with the right stuff only. Jesus gave His life for you on the Cross of Calvary. Focus outside Christ and His Cross equals to strange fire. Keep glorying in the Cross only and continue to hear the voice of the Cross. The difference between goat 🐐 and sheep 🐑 is that the goat 🐐 is very stubborn. It wants to do it’s thing. No wonder Jesus spoke about separating the sheep 🐑 and the goat 🐐 on that day. Are you among people who don’t like correction and instruction?

Matthew 25:31-33 KJV
[31] When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: [32] And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”

    This year determine not to follow thieves, hirelings, strangers, wolves and the rest but the Good Shepherd. Don’t be a goat 🐐 either, for goats 🐐 have no future in the Lord. There are different types of goats. There are those ready to argue even with God. They hate to learn or be corrected. Another instance is when you belong to any group, Church, ministry or is in any page, leave if you don’t believe in what is taught or done there instead of causing distractions. Nobody begged or forced you to be there. Association is not a must. Two cannot walk together if there is no agreement. Goats 🐐 can distract or confuse the sheep 🐑. He that knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him. He that knows not and knows that he knows not is a child, teach him. He that knows and knows not that he knows is asleep, wake him. He that knows and knows that he knows is wise, follow him. That is a proverb. All people did not agree with Jesus who is God. Don’t expect yourself to be greater than the Master by thinking all will agree with you. The devil will use his agents and some foolish minds to oppose and distract you so  be resolute.  It is satan not those people. Some of them will later be ashamed of themselves after satan has left them. That’s why people like us don’t have time for nonsense distractions and distractors. We know where they are coming from and who sent them. Be strong in the Lord and power of His might. Jesus Christ our perfect example was opposed and called all sorts of names. He was abandoned by many of the disciples when He spoke the mystery of the Cross concerning eating of His body and drinking of His blood 🩸. John 6: 60-71.  It is interesting you read it again. This is the main thing and yet those disciples turned back from following Jesus because of it.  If you take the Cross away, there is no christianity ✝️.  As a soldier of Christ, you must be rugged not rigid. You are called to endure all things as a good soldier.  If all people will always agree with you then you are in disagreement with Heaven. People who thought they knew God were against Christ till they killed Him. Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, the high priests were Christ worst enemies and yet they claim to know God more than others but rejected and killed God who put on humanity to save mankind. That is how foolish and stupid religion is.

In our new year broadcast we learnt about the still small voice. That is the leading of the Holy Spirit of Christ which is very important. Once you can be sensitive to this still small voice, you are there. Elijah thought God was in the earthquake, wind, fire, thunder and what have you but God was not there. Beware of all these noise without news everywhere. Listen to that message over and over and get it into your spirit, soul and body. With the Good Shepherd, there is GoodNews. With the Good Shepherd there is goodness and mercy. With the Good Shepherd there are green pasture and protection. You are covered on every side. What makes others afraid have no place in you because of the Good Shepherd. No matter what the year holds, know that with the Good Shepherd, all is well and must end well with you. The world is facing what is beyond normal now. As the imminent return of Christ is here, stay under the Good Shepherd. Jesus will only take home in rapture those who have been at home with Him on earth. May God’s blessings abound for you in Jesus name. Happy new year. Shalom!🎆 🎈🎆🎊
