A Few Good Men

The U.S. Marines motto bares these words: “A Few Good Men” as to say that they are looking for a few good men.  Also within the last five years there was a movie made which was called “A Few Good Men.”  The leading stars of the movie were Tom Cruise who stared as (Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee) a young Marine attorney, Demi Moore as a Navy attorney and Jack Nicholson as Marine (Colonel Nathan Jessep). An intense examination took place of Colonel Jessep by attorney Kaffee who was asking the Colonel for the truth; the Colonel replied in a hostile tune (You Can’t Handle the Truth).

This is also true within the body of Christ today; a vast majority of the leadership in the body of Christ “can’t handle the truth.”

John.14:6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Also John.8:32. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Here’s some facts about the truth:
The truth that you know and submit too shall make you free, and that’s freedom from religion, tradition and also the schemes and the devises of the enemy.
Therefore for today’s church to experience the greater works of which the Messiah spoke of (John.14:12), we got to know and embrace the whole truth.

Watch this!

The world’s system has its own definition and standards for the word GOOD; and it’s from this standard that the religious church is operating. Similar to that of the lodges which is always for a few good men. Whereas the Kingdom of God system is not looking for “A Few Good Men” but rather for the “Whosoever will” those who are sick and tired of doing things their own way, and are willing and obedient to submit to the King’s way of doing things.

Listen to Yeshuwa’s response when he was called Good Master:
Mark.10:17. And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

: 18. And Yeshuwa said unto him “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God.  

Much questions are being asked and disappointing views are being expressed concerning the effectiveness of today’s church. These concerns arises from the fact that every other day one can hear of a church leader that is involved in some kind of financial or moral scandal. From the word of God, there are much higher moral and ethical standards for  leaders (especially church leaders); but these standards seems not applicable to Bahamian leadership.  So then, why are we so amazed and alarmed at the level of lawlessness and the deterioration of family values; when in most cases it’s our leaders (Government, Religious, Civic and Parental) who have and are yet setting a bad example.

Here’s a leadership view that we so conveniently overlook or ignore:  
Lk.12: 48. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

The spiritual and moral decay of our nation is the result of poor leadership, and the church has to bear the brunt of this responsibility. For the church as we know it sees more people on a weekly base than any one government, therefore the people will model that which they constantly sees and hears. What’s the message of the today’s church? It’s Prosperity, Prosperity, Prosperity.

In 1Corinthians.5:1-13. The Apostle Paul dealt with a moral issue in the church at Corinth, and he did not say to the church “pray and fast about the matter” as most of us are doing today; hiding behind what we call prayer rather than confronting the person and situation as the case may be.         
There are people within and outside the church that are sick and dying from all kinds of disease and sickness, and the powerless church stay within its four walls perfecting their money making conferences, seminars, etc.
The deliverance and healing for the nation is coming via Yeshuwa’s empowered church of Kingdom Minded disciples (Lk.9:1.)
 
God has given His disciples / saints power and authority over devils and diseases, and it’s not His will that any should perish. Why is it that the enemy is destroying families and killing of our young men and women as he sees fit?
Could it be that through erroneous religious teachings the church is ignorant of the power that’s made available to them or they don’t know how to properly execute the power and authority that‘s been given them?

There is a spiritual transformation that’s about to take place in the Bahamas that has absolutely nothing to do with today’s religious church and its leaders.  For God is raising up some unknown men and women that will humbly, but yet boldly walk in His burden removing, yoke destroying supernatural power.
These men and women will have a genuine heart of compassion and love for people and their welfare; and to see God’s kingdom come / established in the earth, as it is in heaven

 As a kingdom minded pastor, God has commissioned me to feed the (Whosoever will, and not the full of religion Good Christians) that are tired of trying to fit into today’s religious system.

May the FOG (Favor of God) be with you:
