Sermon 009 : The Church of God

God Himself through His Servant Jesus Christ, said: “So I tell you, you are Peter. And I will build my Church on this rock. The power of death will not be able to defeat my church.” Therefore, the Church of God are people; those who receive a Messenger of God in their age and believe the message God gives him – they become God’s living Church for that age. Peter became the foundation of the church of God in his age and those who received him and believed the message he taught became the church of God built on Peter as the foundation and Jesus Christ, the Living Word Peter taught, became the Cornerstone of the church of God.

Let me take you back to the history of the Bible in the days of Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – before Moses appeared. We see altars on which the chosen people of God sacrificed and made covenants with God, their Creator. During the generation of Prophet Moses in the desert, God commanded Moses to build a Meeting Tent for Him to meet the people of Israel. And God would speak to them through Moses in that special meeting Tent.

In the days of prophets such as Samuel, Gad and Nathan; God commanded King David and Solomon to build for Him a Temple. This is where the services to the LORD could be carried out. In the days of Jesus of Nazareth, the religious leaders had turned all these altars and temples into Synagogues. God’s servants like John the Baptist, Jesus of Nazareth were chased and rejected from these synagouges. According to the revelation of John, the apostle, he called them synagouges of Satan.

After Jesus of Nazareth, and for around 300 years, through the Roman Catholic religion, buildings were constructed and called Ecclesia – which means ‘assembly’ or ‘congregation’; often translated as ‘church’.

Now, Protestants, Evangelicals and Pentecostals borrow the same word ‘church‘, and call the buildings of their places of worship, churches. These are the synagouges of satan today, as was in the days of Jesus of Nazareth.

The church of God are people. The only material that can build the church of God is the Holy Spirit. No prophet has ever been called and commissioned to build for God a Church – that is falsehood. It is not God calling you and commissioning you, but Satan. How can you build a church when actually you are the church? How can you go to church when actually you are the church? This language is from the evil one.

In 2007 when people received me and believed what I teach and preach, the LORD commanded me and said: “Reuben, my servant, you will build for Me a Meeting Tent which will be in the shape of number 7. And every Thursday I will speak to the elect through you in that place”.

So in Kitwe Town Council, this is where we currently have New Jerusalem Meeting Tent. We don’t call it church, like the daughters of the Roman Catholic religion, who call buildings churches. And the Spirit of the LORD says, “if these people don’t change and repent, they will be condemned to hell; and on the Judgement Day, their judgement will be found on the throne of the Pope, the father of the Christian religion.
