THE GREAT COMMISSION

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD;

 

“GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE.” Mk. 16/15.

 

“AND I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT MANY SHALL COME FROM THE EAST AND WEST, AND SHALL SIT DOWN WITH ABRAHAM, AND ISAAC, AND JACOB, IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” Math. 8/11.

 

“WHEN THOU MAKEST A DINNER OR A SUPPER, CALL NOT THY FRIENDS, NOR THY BRETHREN, NEITHER THY KINSMEN, NOR THY RICH NEIGHBOURS; LEST THEY ALSO BID THEE AGAIN, AND A RECOMPENCE BE MADE THEE. BUT WHEN THOU MAKEST A FEAST, CALL THE POOR, THE MAIMED, THE LAME, THE BLIND: AND THOU SHALT BE BLESSED; FOR THEY CANNOT RECOMPENSE THEE: FOR THOU SHALT BE ROCOMPENSED AT THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST.” Luke. 14/12-14.

 

The “day of Pentecost was fully come,” Acts 2/1, the believers were obedient to the Lord`s Word and had “tarried at Jerusalem till they were endued with power from on high” Luke 24/49. We see that the Apostles “preached repentance and remission of sins, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM,” Luke 24/47, and many souls “were added to the Kingdom.” Acts 2/41,47. WOW! FABULOUS! But then we see something subtle start to happen, they start to “get comfortable” in the family at Jerusalem and became tardy in fulfilling the Lord`s command to them of which Peter bare witness to in Acts 1/8 (“YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME BOTH IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDAEA, AND IN SAMARIA, AND UNTO THE UTTER MOST PART OF THE EARTH.”) We see Peter start to fulfill the “Great Commission,” first in Jerusalem, then we see him start to fulfill the second part by preaching to the “men of Judaea,” Acts 2/14. WHAT ABOUT THE REGION OF JUDAEA? WHAT THE REGION OF SAMARIA? WHAT ABOUT THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH?

 

“And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were ALL SCATTERED ABROAD THROUGHOUT THE REGIONS OF JUDAEA AND SAMARIA,…….except the apostles.” Acts 8/1. “THEREFORE THEY THAT WERE SCATTERED ABROAD WENT EVERY WHERE PREACHING THE WORD.” Acts 8/4…….What can we say? They settled in, got comfortable, and before it could degenerate into a “little bless me club,” “a mutual admiration society of Pastor Sauces,” God gave them a “shove” as it were, and scattered them outward from Jerusalem: BUT THE APOSTLES REMAINED AT JERUSALEM. Acts 8/1. Hang on, didn`t Jesus tell THEM to “PREACH IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM??? Luke 24/47. Even after Peter was given a strong reminder of “the Great Commission,” (Acts 10) they still remained at Jerusalem. So God raised up Paul “as of one born out of due time,” 1 Cor. 15/8, and Barnabas, and Silas “Apostles to the Gentiles to “go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.”

 

You know the rest of the story, the “Good News” spread into Asia, into Europe so much so that the once mighty Roman Empire fell to Christianity as well. Then a certain monk in about the year 300AD expounded a devilish lie that removed the “Holy Writings,” the “Scriptures,” “THE BIBLE,” out of the hands of the common man to the point where it was only read and studied by monks, and academics in cloistered monasteries thereby the enemy gaining control of the people purveying incredible heresies, myths, superstitions hence the world entered “the dark ages.”

 

In the early 16th century, God used “a man after His own heart” to bring mankind “The Reformation,” Martin Luther. Praise God. Is it a coincidence the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries saw a colonisation by the then colonial powers which had been greatly affected by “the Reformation,” Holland, Portugal, France, England, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Italy, spread to the rest of the world?

 

WASN`T THAT FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO “PREACH THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM IN THE UTTER MOST PART OF THE EARTH?”

 

WASN`T THAT FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO “INHABITANTS OF THE ISLES OF THE GENTILES?”

 

THE PURPOSE FOR THE COLONISATION OF NORTH AMERICA WAS TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS!

 

THE PURPOSE FOR THE COLONISATION OF SOUTH AMERICA  WAS TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO THE SOUTH AMERICAN INDIANS!

 

THE PURPOSE FOR THE COLONISATION  OF ASIA AND INDIA WAS TO BRING THE GOOD NEWS TO THE CHINA, JAPAN, INDONESIA, PHILLIPINES, AND THE SUB CONTINENT! DITTO ALSO FOR THE ISLAND KINGDOMS OF THE PACIFIC AND THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA!

 

IT WASN`T FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING COLONIAL COFFERS FAT WITH PLUNDER AS IS THE SHAME OF THE SUCCESSIVE GOVERNMENTS OF THESE NATIONS OF THE TIME!  

            ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

THE PURPOSE FOR THE COLONISATION OF “THE GREAT SOUTH LAND” WAS TO “PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR, HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, THE RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUSIED, TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.” Luke4/18-19. TO PREACH CHRIST, “THE MASHIYACH” “THE REDEEMER” TO THE INDIGENOUS INHABITANTS OF THIS “ISLE OF THE GENTILES,”

 

                                                THE ABORIGINES:

 

THIS STILL REMAINS THE “GREAT COMMISSION,” “THE CALL,” THE REASON, THE PURPOSE STILL YET TO BE FULFILLED FOR THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST IN AUSTRALIA TO-DAY.

 

“WHEN THOU MAKEST A DINNER OR A SUPPER, CALL NOT THY FRIENDS, NOR THY BRETHREN, NEITHER THY KINSMEN, NOR THY RICH NEIGHBOURS LEST THEY ALSO BID THEE AGAIN, AND A RECOMPENCE BE MADE THEE. BUT WHEN THOU MAKEST A FEAST, CALL THE POOR, THE MAIMED, THE LAME, THE BLIND: AND THOU SHALT BE BLESSED; FOR THEY CANNOT RECOMPENSE THEE: FOR THOU SHALT BE RECOMPENSED AT THE RESURRECTION OF THE JUST.” Luke 14/12-14.

 

But you won`t do this will you, you`re more interested in throwing parties, conventions, holding get togethers where you can “be seen of men,” “hey look at me,” what a deep, profound, anointed preacher I am, Mr. big shot. You would rather invite some silk suited, covetous, money grabbing pouter of flattering divinations from overseas to come and make you “feel good,” show you a good time in an atmosphere where everyone can get “comfortable,” and pat one another on the back and go back to your “ceiled houses” deceived with your lukewarmness. It`s easier for most of you to convince yourselves that you are fulfilling “The Great Commission” by going and sending people on what amounts to be nothing more than an adventure, a holiday into foreign lands, than to deal with the filth, the drugs, the alcoholism, the child abuse, the rape, poverty, sickness demonic possession and torment of a nation of people that are probably on the scale of things, one of the most “POOR, MAIMED, LAME AND BLIND IN GROSS DARKNESS,” on the face of the planet. Their plight for most of you seems to be in the too hard basket, THAT WOULD REQUIRE TOO MUCH LOVE AND COMMITMENT WOULDN`T IT!!

 

It`s pathetic, you can raise up money to fund conventions, seminars, holidays, bmw`s, buildings, hire marketing cos., advertising agencies, build bible colleges, pay huge stipends out to leadership; BUT YOU CAN`T HEAR THE CRIES OF ONE MINISTRY AS THEY BEG….YES BEG FOR THE NEEDS OF THE MINISTRY TO THE ABORIGINES TO BE MET….AND IT IS NOT AS THOUGH THEY ARE ASKING FOR ANY THING FANCY AT THAT!

 

THERE IS A WORK TO BE DONE IN OUR OWN BACK YARD FIRST!

 

YOU ALL SAY YOU WANT TO SEE JESUS COME BACK SOON! WELL, IT`S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TILL “THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES BE FULFILLED.”

 

So why don`t you set your priorities right, reach out, preach, teach, and support the ministries that are being obedient to this call, and see “the times of the gentiles fulfilled” with the first inhabitants of this nation, the indigenous Australians. THE ABORIGINES:

 

WHOOPS…I FORGOT,…. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS “WHEN UPON EVERY HIGH HILL AND UNDER EVERY GREEN TREE THOU WANDEREST, PLAYING THE HARLOT. YET I HAD PLANTED THEE A NOBLE VINE, WHOLLY A RIGHT SEED: HOW THEN ART THOU TURNED INTO THE DEGENERATE PLANT OF A STRANGE VINE UNTO ME? FOR THOUGH THOU WASH THEE WITH NITRE, AND TAKE THEE MUCH SOPE, YET THINE INIQUITY IS MARKED BEFORE ME, SAITH THE LORD GOD. HOW CANST THOU SAY, I AM NOT POLLUTED, I HAVE NOT GONE AFTER BAALIM? (COVETOUSNESS) SEE THY WAY IN THE VALLEY, KNOW WHAT THOU HAST DONE: THOU ART A SWIFT DROMEDARY TRAVERSING HER WAYS;” Jer. 2/20-23.

 

No wonder for many of you this ministry seems too hard a task when you pout and condone the heresies that you do? (all named and explained in the publication “HOW DARE YOU;”) I notice that the A. O. G. has set up a special committee to deal with sexual misconduct in the church, SHAME ON YOU, IT SHOULDN`T BE AN ISSUE! YOU JUST SET UP A TESTIMONY AGAINST YOURSELVES OF YOUR PERVERSENESS, YOUR LUKEWARMNESS, YOUR LACK OF STRENGTH, POWER, VICTORY OVER SIN, AND THAT IN LEADERSHIP???? How can you expect to be an effective “witness for Christ” in this land when the abominations and debauchery of so called “men of God” are being published every day on the news in this land causing the populace to mistrust, and hold in cynicism and contempt “The Church of the Living God,” “blaspheming His Mighty Name.” 2 Tim. 3/9,

 

“FOR THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES THROUGH YOU, AS IT IS WRITTEN.” Rom. 2/24. “THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.” Rom. 3/18, because there is no “fear of God before your eyes.” The church leadership in this land have been nothing but examples of harlotry, “doing despite unto the Spirit of Grace? Trampling under foot the Son of God, counting the blood of the covenant, wherewith they were sanctified, an unholy thing.” Heb. 10/29.

 

I PUT YOU ALL ON NOTICE…..AGAIN….. “FOR THE TIME IS COME THAT JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD:” 1 Pet. 4/17. IT`S NO ACCIDENT THAT “MEN OF THE CLOTH” OF CERTAIN CHURCHES ARE BEING SHAMED AND EXPOSED FOR THEIR LICENTIOUSNESS, PRIDE AND ARROGANCE…… “THE LORD SHALL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” Heb. 10/30, and again, “WHOSE FAN IS IN HIS HAND, AND HE WILL THROUGHLY PURGE HIS FLOOR, AND GATHER HIS WHEAT INTO THE GARNER; BUT HE WILL BURN UP THE CHAFF WITH UNQUENCHABLE FIRE.” Math. 3/12, and again, “BEHOLD, THE JUDGE STANDETH BEFORE THE DOOR.” James 5/9.

 

For those of you who say “I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow,” (“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Rev. 3/17,) For those of you who “have glorified yourselves and lived deliciously,” “Therefore shall your plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and you shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth you.”  Rev. 18/7-8…..IF YOU DON`T REPENT…….

 

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: YOU WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH, YOU WHO RECEIVED SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE, REVELATION, SPIRITUAL GIFTS, POWER;

 

“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.” Luke 12/48. “AND THAT SERVANT, WHICH KNEW HIS LORD`S WILL, AND PREPARED NOT HIMSELF, NEITHER DID ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, SHALL BE BEATEN WITH MANY STRIPES.” Luke 12/47. “BUT AND IF THAT SERVANT SAY IN HIS HEART, MY LORD DELAYETH HIS COMING; AND SHALL BEGIN TO BEAT THE MENSERVANTS AND MAIDENS, AND TO EAT AND DRINK, AND TO BE DRUNKEN; THE LORD OF THAT SERVANT WILL COME IN A DAY WHEN HE LOOKETH NOT FOR HIM AND AT AN HOUR WHEN HE IS NOT AWARE, AND WILL CUT HIM IN SUNDER, AND WILL APPOINT HIM HIS PORTION WITH THE UNBELIEVERS.” Luke 12/45-46.

 

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES. KNOW YE NOT YOUR OWN SELVES, HOW THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES? 2 Cor. 13/5.

 

Let`s all get serious for Jesus and see “the Fear of the Lord,” piety and reverence restored in this land. (IT STARTS WITH YOU!!!) It`s not about feeling good, ooey gooey, it`s not about what God can do for “me,” it`s not about being successful or rich, it`s not about building concrete, stone and steel mausoleums that hold 10,000 lukewarm, Samaritan, lovers of the things of this world, it`s not about the big mansion on the hill, it`s not about the jag or the bmw or the Mercedes, it`s not about how comfortable a life you can live, A SELF PLACATING, COMPROMISING, LUKEWARM, “TICKLE ITCHING EARS” DOCTRINE OF SELFISHNESS, IT`S ABOUT TOTAL LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO HIM, TAKING ON OURSELVES HIS INTERESTS, HIS BUSINESS, AVAILING OURSELVES FOR USE BY THE MASTER SO THAT HE ONCE MORE CAN “PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, SETTING AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUSIED, PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.” Luke 4/18-19….. REPENT,…. AND SEE THE “FEAR OF THE LORD” RESTORED IN THIS NATION SO THAT THE GREAT COMMISSION CAN BE FULFILLED IN THIS LAND, “PREACHING THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD” TO A NATION OF PEOPLE THAT TRULY ARE, POOR, MAIMED, LAME…AND BLIND TO ACCOMPLISH THE FULFILLMENT OF THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES IN AUSTRALIA, USHERING IN CHRIST`S RETURN. (Just an interesting piece of information, recently channel 7 here in Qld. conducted a survey of its viewers, and one of the questions was to do with trust and respect of various institutions, government, commercial and social, the group of individuals that the public most trusted and respected, wait for it, WAS THE DEFENCE FORCES with about 46%. THE RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS CAME IN 2ND OR 3RD LAST, (the exact position eludes me at the moment, I just remember being shocked by the lack of trust and respect that those that name the name of Christ in this nation inspire;) at 13%, only beaten out of last position by the banks on 5%.)

HOW DEPLORABLE, HOW CAN ANY ONE OF US DELUDE OURSELVES INTO THINKING THAT WE CAN SEE SOULS SAVED IN THIS LAND, WHEN THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE HOLDS SO LITTLE RESPECT, REVERENCE, PIETY, AND MOST OF ALL TRUST FOR THE CHURCH AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR????? THIS ISN`T THEIR PROBLEM….IT`S OURS!!!

IT`S US THE LORD WILL HOLD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT “LETTING OUR LIGHT SO SHINE THAT MEN SHALL SEE YOUR GOOD WORKS AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN” Math. 5/16 INSTEAD OF THEM  SEEING THE HYPOCRISY (PRETENCE, ACTING,) AND BLASPHEMING “THAT WORTHY NAME BY WHICH YE ARE CALLED!!!” Jam. 2/7. IF EVER A GROUP OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE TRUSTED, IT SHOULD BE CHRISTIANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN LEADERSHIP!!! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME:

 

What can I say, you reap what you sow, all the exposed obvious sin and money chasing over the years has done nothing but betray people`s confidence and smash the trust of the unbelieving as well as the believing, causing much hurt and suffering: No wonder their so cynical and irreverent. You are all so fooled, I have always said to my wife, if only they could see themselves as the unbelievers see them, hypocrites, pretenders, actors and actresses, just putting on a show, conning people out of their hard earned graft.

 

READ THE PUBLICATION “HOW DARE YOU” AGAIN, BETTER STILL, “HUMBLE YOURSELVES, PRAY, TURN FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS AND SEEK HIS FACE,” AND THIS TIME LAY “THE WORD OF THE LORD” TO HEART! LET`S GET RIGHT WITH GOD, AND MAKE IT A TOP PRIORITY TO “FURNISH THE MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB WITH THE TRULY  POOR, AND THE MAIMED, AND THE HALT, AND THE BLIND Luke 14/21 OF THIS LAND, THE NATION OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE “SOCIAL SCALE, THE ONES THAT HAVE TRULY BEEN ABUSED, REJECTED, DISADVANTAGED BY LACK OF GODLY WISDOM IN THE ONES OF POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY, (INCLUDING THE CHURCH,) STIGMITISED BECAUSE OF THE COLOUR OF THEIR SKIN, OSTRACISED BECAUSE OF THE SLEEPY, NOMADIC DARKNESS THAT HAS CLOAKED THEM CAUSED BY THEIR IGNORANT BELIEF IN “THE DREAMTIME DEMONIC SPIRIT.”

 

So what say you? You can keep your heads buried in the sand like the deluded ostriches that you are, OR….YOU CAN STAND UP AND FACE THE ISSUES LIKE MEN:

 

“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: AND HE SHALL TURN THE HEART OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN, AND THE HEART OF THE CHILDREN TO THEIR FATHERS, LEST I COME AND SMITE THE EARTH WITH A CURSE.” Mal. 4/5-6.

 

To those ministries that are already a light to the “first Australians,” to those ministries that already pray and support these ministries both spiritually, financially and materially, WELL DONE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, MAY THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU AND MULTIPLY YOUR TEARS BACK TO YOU WITH JOY UNSPEAKABLE.  Ps. 126/6…. To those of you who are not, I pray The Father turn your heart to the “first children” of this nation, “lest He come and smite the nation with a curse.”
