As the congregation lifted their voices to worship the painter of the skies, the Servant of God Abraham Richard Bisaso full of the Holy Spirit took position at the pulpit and led the congregation in the message of the day titled, “One Foundation- Jesus Christ.”
With reference from the book of 1Corithians 1:10-17: I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in the mind and thought.
Straight into the message, the Prophet noted that it is of great sadness that the Church of God today is deeply divided. The Church is in factions with each faction pouncing and accusing each other. In addition to this, ministers have let their own evil schemes fail them to live for Christ Jesus. Pride, ego, jealous, competition, self-righteousness, offence etal are dominating the Church of God and this has led the flock to run to black faith that is satan.
The Servant of God firmly assured the congregation that these are old tricks of satan which he is using to bring division in the Church of Christ, but his mission will not be accomplished because no one can ever stop the truth. Jesus is going to dominate the Church and turn everything upside down. For, greater is He that is in the church, than he that lives in the world (1John 4:4).
Christ is not divided; therefore there should not be division in the Church. If we are truly His followers, then we are all builders on one foundation – Christ Jesus. It is therefore our duty to build with care and love because whatever we build is meant to strengthen the Church and bring honour to the master.
He affirmed to the believers that we are all of different callings but serving the same God (Ephesians 4:11-12). One can be a Prophet, Apostle, Healer, Counselor or Teacher. This means that everyone has a role to play in the body of Christ; we all need each other because we are a unit.
Prophet Abraham Richard cautioned the congregation that since you are a co-worker of the LORD, mind what you build on this foundation because at a given time God will come to test and prove your building. If you used grass, gold, wood or silver; time will tell.
Putting more colour onto this message, the Prophet said that what you use to build is what will be displayed in challenging times. The moment you are able to withstand the test that God brings your way, He will reward you like He pleases.
We were sent to preach God’s word not about fellow men and it is only He that will judge our works. As products of love (John 3:16), our duty is to teach the world about love and do charity in all seasons. You can never love God if you don’t love your neighbor emphasising the point; we came by love, we must end by love. Love, is the only true gospel for God is love.
To you brethren, remember, you are a co-worker on the Eternal foundation –Christ Jesus. With this message, we believe your faith is now equipped to build and harvest for the kingdom of God.
When Christ Jesus is in you, love must prevail all the time and 17th September 2017 was no different. Prophet Abraham Richard was at it again, displaying his true foundation-LOVE. With Children preparing to go back to school, a number of them did not have some essential scholastic materials and LOVE stood in the gap.
The Servant of God together with the partners of True Vine Communion Ministries for all Nations provided the essentials for the Children; in order for them to go back to school. As the Servant of God normally teaches that, “Love is the only true gospel for God is love.” His act was a clear indication of what every follower of Christ is obligated to do. Remember it is the duty of the Church to look after the community.
