JESUS ON THE THRONE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY

Topic: A Submissive Heart and a Hardened Heart_ part 5

Introduction
Lord Jesus, purify our hearts. In Your mercy, purify our hearts. In the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus, our hearts are not stable. There is war in our hearts all the time. Our hearts are unstable because we spend our time thinking about the pain someone has caused us. Paul said, "I do not understand what I do," because of the instability of the heart.
Lord Jesus, stabilise our hearts in obedience, faithfulness, and sincerity. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, in Your mercy, always remember us in Your kingdom. Amen.

What Jesus has accomplished for us is proof that it is well with our souls.

No matter what you achieve here on earth, it is still not well unless you make it to heaven.

Proof Text: Luke 2:34 (NIV)

"Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: 'This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against.'"

There are two things here: falling and rising, descending and ascending.

Who was destined to cause this? Jesus.
Which part do you want to belong to: the rising or the falling?

Rising is not promotion at your workplace. It is not promotion in your business. Only a spiritual heart understands this.

Satan uses the world to deceive us so that we will not recognise the meaning of falling and rising. One of these must surely happen.

You should be asking yourself where the Saviour will place you when departure happens. Those who are part of the rising must submit their hearts to Jesus.
What shows that your heart is submitted to Jesus?
It is not your title that proves your heart is submitted to Jesus. It is not the crowd you have, your popularity, your knowledge, or the tithe you pay that proves your heart is submitted to Jesus.
He knows you. Jesus Christ knows you.
If anyone qualifies you based on your title, the crowd you control, or other outward achievements, remember that the Mighty One, Jesus, has the final say.
All these things do not qualify you.
Everyone today chooses to submit to the body and harden their hearts against the Spirit.
If you are close to any minister, it is dangerous to base your faith on that relationship. This Man, Jesus, is destined to cause the rising and falling of many.
It is after this life that we will witness these things.
So, whatever you do in this world, do not forget that there is Someone you are going to meet, and He is destined to cause the rising and falling of many. This will surely happen.
No matter who you are, Jesus does not judge you by what you have; He judges you by what is in you.

There are two things:

1. Heaven living in you.
2. The world living in you.

A man of forgiving spirit reflects Jesus. Now, if someone hurts you and you let go of retaliation, then Jesus is living in you.
A submissive heart always listens to Jesus, but a hardened heart kicks against the voice of Jesus.

"Be yourself; don't be of me."

You complain too much about people. Are you not seeing that your spiritual life is draining? You know that what you are saying is not what your conscience permits.
When I finish preaching and go into my prayers, all I want is to talk about heaven and nothing else.
You are thinking about him. Many people believe in what someone possesses outwardly without believing in heaven. If that is your mindset, then you are not yet a believer.
There is another life, and it is so certain. That is the original life.
No matter what you are enjoying here, do not harden your heart against what is coming.
Having an open heart means there are many things we wish our children to achieve. It means our hearts are open to the things of this world but hardened towards the things of heaven.
Our hearts are widely open to the things of this world, but I pray that your heart will become even more open to the things of heaven.
We want our children to become doctors, lawyers, contractors, and so on, but we are hardened towards the things of heaven.
All our plans are focused on this life. What plans do we have for our children after we close our eyes? No!
We do not have any plans concerning life after departure.
We are in our families to maintain the light and allow it to shine more towards heaven.
We are more focused on tradition.

Who wants to be Methuselah?

Who wants to be like Jesus?

Jesus lived on earth for only 33 years. If you see Jesus as a blessing, why then do you wish for the life of Methuselah?

Why don't you imitate obedience?

We see anyone who lives an obedient life as someone experiencing tragedy or destruction.
We do not know how that person has been rated in the sight of God.
Many people experience pain here on earth, but on the other side, they are thanking God. A good heart does not retaliate because the evil people do here has helped them fulfil God's purpose.

Why do we desire to live long when the person who ascends sees it as something good?

If you find yourself in heaven, no matter what evil people have done against you, you will continue to pray for them.

Stephen also prayed, saying, "Father, forgive them," because of the place they found themselves in. That place is peaceful.

I do not know why people do not talk about ascension.

We can read our Bibles and talk about the benefits of the body, but the ascension of Jesus is hardly ever preached.

We are always talking about breakthroughs.

What shows that you have carried the Gospel that Jesus left for the apostles?

The apostles did not care about what happened to their bodies because they had seen the ascension of Jesus.

It is so painful that we have turned the Gospel into a message about the benefits of the body.

The same Pharisees of old are the same Pharisees we are listening to today.

The believers who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus are now preaching about the benefits of the body.

Some received money to twist the message of the ascension.

Tell your neighbour: "Think well now before it's too late!"

Here is blood and water, but there is just being no blood and water.

Lord Jesus Christ, plant the seed of obedience in our hearts.

In this journey, if the world surrounds you with enjoyment, be careful because they may be leading you to hell.

Amen.

JESUS ON THE THRONE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY

INTRODUCTION
Lord, purify our spirits in Jesus' name.

Lord Jesus Christ, in Your mercy, always remember us in paradise. In Jesus Christ's name. Hosanna.

I hope you are here because of heaven. I am welcoming your soul because your soul is what makes heaven. Your soul is what goes for judgment, either to a place of torment or a place of joy. So, I have to enlighten your soul.

Don't preach the world. If you preach the world, you are preaching yourself. Jesus commanded us to preach about the Kingdom of God. If you preach the world, you preach yourself, and you honour yourself. If you preach the advantages of this world, you are preaching yourself, and you will surely benefit from it.

But when you preach heaven, the blessing is for your spirit, and these blessings are not here but after here. My soul is not yet receiving blessings; it is waiting for what comes after here.

It's just like when you are following the steps to the Kingdom of God; your promotion is piling up. They are waiting for you. If you stop and say you are preaching the Kingdom of God while expecting blessings here, it is not from heaven.

If you are preaching because of heaven, you are not expecting blessings here. Whatever comes, you manage it until you get to heaven. Don't count what you are receiving here as victory. That's the mistake we are making all over the world.

Because of the way I preached, a lot of gifts came through. If it happens like that, you are preaching yourself.

I live to see heaven. I live to see heaven!

If you live to see heaven, you will not count on enjoyment here. Many of us here must live to see heaven. Don't live to see blessings here. How would you make heaven?

When you live to see blessings tomorrow, you live for your flesh to enjoy tomorrow. You live for yourself to be promoted tomorrow. You live to occupy everything in this world tomorrow. All is vanity upon vanity.

Our expectations for the day, for the month, and for the year are all about the blessings of the flesh. How can you make heaven? You will soon see next year's theme: "The Year to Count Money." How our flesh can benefit! It's all about the expectations of the flesh. What about the expectations of the spirit?

Tell your neighbour, "Live each day to see heaven."

That is the standard Paul set for us. Paul's words, "To live is Christ and to depart is gain," mean to live to see heaven.

Many of our hearts are hardened to the things of heaven. What will be the outcome of judgment when this flesh retires? Why should someone deceive you? It is because we live to see the blessings here.

Topic: Submissive Heart and a Hardened Heart – Part 4

Proof Text: Revelation 2:7 (NIV)

[7] Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

The Spirit of God is saying that He will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the Garden of Eden, to the one who is victorious, to the one who overcomes.

Now, do you live to benefit from the tree of life, or do you live to benefit from this world?

The victory everyone looks at today is the victory of this world, but the victory the Bible is talking about is the victory after here.

It is never possible for you to be living in this world while eating from the tree of life. It is the heart that eats from the tree of life, not your body, because we are out here. We are chained to this world, and this body has failed.

Why should anyone be dancing over the victory here when you are not yet benefiting from the tree of life? Rejoicing all the time over the victories here. What we boast about is the victory here.

When you see the victory here as ultimate, how can you see the victory after here? The victory of money has come, and then you relax. You are promoted, and you relax. Where is the journey now to the Kingdom of God?

Everyone is very charismatic when they see a vision or dream about what they will become here or the honour they will receive here, but they are less concerned when they dream about what comes after here.

Everyone is walking in the dream of what they will become here, while their dreams of what comes after here remain so silent or dormant.

If you are preaching in this world, you can do 40 days and 40 nights of fasting. Where is your 40 days and 40 nights of fasting for your dream of heaven?

There is no difference between the gifts of this world and the gift of money. They are all the same because they all give honour.

What you will become here is different from what you will become in heaven.

You are known here because you have money and everything in abundance. But that is not the same as heaven, and it is not the same as judgment.

While you are working on what you will become here, don't forget what comes after here. We always forget what comes after here, and that means judgment.

Our hearts are so hardened to what we will become in heaven. Everyone submits to this world, and our hearts are hardened to the things in heaven.

Are you not thinking of destruction after here? We are looking at destruction here. I don't see destruction here; I see correction.

Anything you pass through in this world is not destruction, as long as you can breathe. Here, we are undergoing screening. If you accept Jesus, you will be refined.

Because of disobedience, we were sacked from the Garden of Eden. That is the Kingdom of God, so through Jesus, we will enter there. And you must pass through here, so either you go or you remain.

We have those who departed, and they are in this world, but your body cannot see them unless you depart. Before you can see them, you must depart. They have become evil spirits. They are in torment. They are doing hard work. The Bible describes this hard work as hell.

The world that cannot judge you is the one dictating for us. We look down on the activities of heaven. How do you make it?

When you look down on me, will I honour you when you come to my throne for help? Will I honour you? That is what we are doing to Him.

Jesus said either you serve God or money.

What's money? Money is everything in this world that your heart cherishes or your body cherishes.

When you now submit to those things, thereby disposing yourself towards the One you are going to meet, and you look down on His throne, how will you be honoured when you meet Him?

If the president, a member of parliament, or the governor is in your midst and you don't honour them, when you go to their office for help, will they honour you?

Jesus said either you choose money or God.

We are ready to pay any price to achieve our dreams here while ignoring the dream of being with the Lord.

Don't wait until it gets to your turn. It will get to my turn, and it will get to your turn.

I pray that we desire heaven more and more, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank You, Lord.

No one can defend you. Your pastor in any ministry cannot defend you. The truth you trust can defend you. The truth is heaven.

There is no truth in this world. This world is full of lies, and the only place you can find truth is heaven.

There are many people who spoke the truth at their workplaces, and they were sacked. There is no truth in this world. In the department of this world, everything is lies. Nobody is truthful. I am also not truthful.

It is when Jesus defends you that you have become truthful.

Look at the life of David in the Bible. He committed sin; he killed and committed adultery, but God defended him. There is nothing you can do.

David submitted to heaven. You submit to heaven.

It is submission God requires from us. Submission means always demanding His mercy. That is the way to get to Him.

Don't glorify yourself by your human perfection because your human perfection is a filthy rag.

So, what He requires from you is a submissive heart.

If you are counting on your human perfection, your heart is hardened to the things of heaven. How will you make it? That's arrogance.

Everyone of us needs His mercy, like blind Bartimaeus.

I pray that the spirit of a submissive heart possesses us, in the name of Jesus Christ.

A Submissive Heart and a Hardened Heart - Part 3
No matter what is happening to your flesh, He is so good. Jesus is so good because of the place He has prepared for you. You long to be there. Praise Him because of the place He has prepared for us. Thank Him.

Lord Jesus Christ, purify my heart from guilt in Your mercy. In Your mercy, always remember me in Your Kingdom.

You are welcome into God's presence in the name of Jesus.

My mission is to lead souls into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus said in Luke 4:43:
[43] But he said, “I must proclaim the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.”

What is your purpose or mission? Tell people that your Father's house is the best. This is the reason why we are here. No matter how long you delay, this eye will close one day. My eye will close one day, and your eye will close one day.

Who you will meet should be your concern, and that should depict how real you are.

"After here" is judgment. "After here" is above all of us. In court, we say, "My Lord," because the judge is above everyone in the courtroom. You even switch off your phone in the courtroom in honour of the judge. In the same way, we will meet God after here.

Every knee shall bow. Every knee shall bow, not here, but in heaven, where you will be forced to submit. You will surely see the reason to submit.

The fear of "after here" is above everyone of us; it is above the whole world.

If you fear "after here," you begin to become a good Christian. This will make you reverence God in truth and in spirit.

There is so much doubt around us because we do not consider "after here" seriously. If you consider "after here," it will be easy for you to forgive. There must be "after here." We have all lost loved ones, which means we are all aware of "after here."

Tell your neighbour: Fear "after here" because it is terrible.

Topic: Submissive and Hardened Heart

Proof Text: Romans 2:5–7 (NIV)
[5] But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.

[6] God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”

[7] To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life.

This is the time you should deliver yourself from an unrepentant heart. That is a hardened heart.

You can call yourself a Christian, but still possess a hardened heart.

A hardened heart is a heart that sees its rewards as the result of its own efforts.

If you have a submissive heart, you will position your heart to receive His mercy. If you position your heart around your personal efforts, at the time of departure, you will not be able to cry for mercy to help you because you believe you are righteous.

Jesus is looking for someone to show mercy to. There is always a chance for everyone to receive mercy at the time of departure. This happens to everyone. At the time of departure, you will say, "Remember me."

What will you say at your time of departure? There is always a choice between mercy and personal effort. This will happen in your heart in a split second.

I am giving you a clue about what is happening. That is why the Bible says the first will be last, and the last will be first. Be careful.

This is what Paul was preaching: Should we continue to sin and say that grace abounds?

If you get to hell, there is no mercy there. Where did Jesus pay the price? Here. So, mercy is available here.

Personal efforts do not qualify you for mercy. Boasting about your personal efforts is a serious sin.

Look at His righteous judgment because God is always right. When Jesus judges you, you will feel guilty. Only what He has achieved for us can cancel our wrongs. Only the price He paid can cancel your wrongs. That is why the armed robber experienced mercy.

No one in this world has Jesus praising them, saying that they are wonderful or that they are doing well. Do not forget that no one is righteous. Many praise themselves as being righteous, but Jesus never praised Himself. He said that no one is good.

The love He demonstrated is not the love of money, gifts, cars, houses, and so on. Rather, it is the love of salvation.

Your eye has not closed yet, and you are boasting that Jesus loves you. The love of Jesus is about making it there, and it is not your efforts that take you there.

It is not about your earthly efforts. The price He paid for us is what made us holy.

The wrath of God is coming. Do not allow the pressure of this world to harden your heart.

Many see the place of judgment as nothing, but when their eyes close, they will see it as something.

The pleasures of this world make you see judgment as nothing, but surely, when your eyes close, you will see it as something.

Value the place of judgment and love what is right.

Watch and pray, that is the only way out.

JESUS ON THE THRONE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY

Topic: A Submissive Heart and a Hardened Heart - part 2

Proof Text: Romans 3:20
[20] Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

Be purified from guilt in Jesus’ name. Who is on the throne in your life? Jesus!

Our soul points us in the right direction. We always write a will for the sharing of our property. This means that our soul is pointing us in the right direction. Even when you are arrogant toward your wife, or a wife is arrogant toward her husband, your soul always points you in the right direction. After this message, you will understand.

People ask, “Can God allow us to go to hell?” Don’t worry; when you leave this world, you will blame yourself. Sometimes, your soul speaks to you and says, “Stop! It is not good.” Your heart is not completely dark; it is not possible that you cannot think of anything good. Even those who are more involved in the world do good things. We need to repeat this message.

The consciousness that I should not lie, commit adultery, cheat, or commit any evil does not declare me righteous.

You may say, “I will not sin again. I do not womanize, and I do not lie.” That does not declare you righteous in the sight of God.

The Pharisees thought otherwise. Their belief was that if they did not lie or commit adultery, that would declare them righteous.
The work of the law is to make you conscious of sin. What declares you righteous is His stripes, His mercy, and the price He paid on the cross of Calvary, to which your heart and soul must submit.
It is not about the consciousness of the things you do not do. It is not your work that makes you righteous; it is the hand of God that makes you righteous. It is your submissive heart that makes you righteous.
If your heart is hardened toward the things of heaven, you will never agree with what I am telling you. You will think it is by your own effort.
If you look at your efforts, there will be complaints in your Christian life. Every Christian who complains today may be looking at their own efforts.

What are these efforts?
“I have stopped sinning, so why am I having marital problems? I have stopped sinning, so why am I still poor? I have stopped sinning, so why am I still sick? I have been baptized and immersed in water, and my sins have been washed away, so why am I still sick?”

Why are you complaining? It is because you are looking at your efforts: paying tithes, sowing seeds, doing good to people, and so on.

But if you look at the price He paid, you will realize that the life you are living now is not something you deserve through your own efforts, but grace qualifies you.

When we say the law makes you conscious of sin, we mean that it reveals sin to you. However, that does not declare you righteous. Leave the declaration of righteousness to Jesus. But today, we are the ones declaring ourselves righteous.

You are living in this world and calling yourself a righteous man.

When Jesus was called good, meaning righteous, He said that no one is good except God alone (Luke 18:19).

In Matthew 19:16–24
The rich man in the above text was condemned after displaying righteousness based on his own efforts.

If you do not want to be condemned, look to grace. Grace qualifies you, and the price Jesus paid on the cross will qualify you.

By knowledge of the Bible, you may consider yourself righteous. You can quote the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and call yourself righteous. Through education, you may consider yourself righteous. Through your title, you may consider yourself righteous.

Some people say that the reason you are poor is that sin is in you. Jesus was also poor; does that mean sin was in Him?

The number of people qualifying for the kingdom of God every second is increasing as people make their choices. Today, we are looking at riches. If your spiritual eyes were opened and you saw how many poor people are being qualified for heaven, you might choose to go and live in the bush like John the Baptist.

There are a lot of arguments out there, and I know that. What prompts you to argue is your flesh. Your flesh has many questions to ask me, but your spirit knows the truth. If Jesus were here today, your flesh would have asked Him a lot of questions.

The Pharisees wanted Jesus to make the way to the kingdom of God smooth for them, but Jesus said that the way to the kingdom is narrow, which means you will pass through many hardships.

Many questions that you wish to ask me about the kingdom of God are intended to make the journey easy for your body. But the journey cannot be easy for your body. It can only be easy for your spirit.

It can never be easy for your body because there is a particular weakness your body loves and does not want to leave.

You want me to preach that drinking alcohol and entering the kingdom of God is very easy. If you are addicted to womanizing, you may want me to say, “Oh, wonderful! David did it in the Bible, and nothing happened to him, yet he made it into the kingdom.” You want me to say this to make the journey easy for you.

If you say, “I love this man of God; I love that man of God,” where does that love come from? Does it make the journey to the kingdom of God so smooth?

The way to the kingdom of God is not easy for the body, and it is never possible to make it easy for the body in every way.

Jesus said in John 16:33 that in this world we will have trouble. He never said, “Don't worry; your troubles will reduce as you continue to follow Me.” He told us to endure, saying that He has overcome the world. This means we must remain faithful to Him as we look forward to being with Him in heaven.

Jesus never made the way smooth, so I cannot make the way smooth for you.

The preaching of this gospel is no longer balanced. Only a submissive heart understands what I am talking about.

Jesus had 72 disciples in total, and 60 left because the journey was difficult for them in the flesh. It was never easy for their bodies. If Jesus' 60 disciples left, what would have happened to the other members then?

I cannot point you toward a way that will make the journey easy for you.

The apostles said in Acts 14:21–22 that to enter the kingdom of God, we must pass through many hardships.

Therefore, because of the many pleasures of this world today, we have hardened our hearts toward the things of heaven.

Let us repent. Do not allow this world to deceive you. The Antichrist is everywhere.

Submit your heart to heaven because judgment is already happening. Only Jesus can save you from that trouble, but that trouble is something you must face.
Believe in Jesus so that you may be shielded to ascend. No one is above this trouble.

Whatever I am telling you is not education; it is revelation. If you fail to agree, you will fail. When you see me there, you will embrace me.

Run toward the good life now. Leave bad friends behind and stay focused. If you allow your surroundings to distract you, you will blame yourself.

The apostles kept preaching because they had seen heaven.

Live by His mercy; it is by His mercy that we get there. Pray for His mercy and grace. Put yourself in a position of humility. Submit to heaven; do not submit to this world.

There is no way you can submit to this world and still talk about heaven.
For example, let us say I am working in a cosmetic shop. This means I have submitted myself to the owner. But if the owner finds out that I am advertising clothes instead of cosmetics, will the owner not get angry with me?

Because I have submitted myself to you, I have to advertise only your products because you are the one who will settle me.

If you know that Jesus will settle you, talk about His place.

The world's settlement can never give you eternal life, but Jesus' settlement is forever.

May the Lord help us to have submissive hearts, seek His mercy and grace, and remain focused on the kingdom of God, in Jesus' name. Amen.

JESUS ON THE THRONE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRY

Topic: Wake Up – Part 8
Introduction
Thank God for the eternal life He has prepared for you. How many of us give thanks to God because of the eternal life He has given us? We give thanks to God because of the houses He has given us and the money He has provided for us, but we often ignore the eternal life He has given us.

Lord Jesus Christ, in Your mercy, always remember us in Your kingdom. Amen.

In every ministry, we give thanksgiving. However, most of our thanksgiving focuses on earthly achievements. What about thanksgiving for heavenly achievements? Jesus has prepared a place in heaven for us. He said He has gone to prepare a place for us. So, why don't we thank Him for preparing heaven for us?

We are practising the thanksgiving of the Old Testament, but where is the thanksgiving of the New Testament? When they celebrated Jesus by shouting, “Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!” was it because of earthly achievements? No, it was because of heavenly achievements. The word Hosanna represents heavenly praise.

We do not recognise the place Jesus has prepared for us. We are in total darkness. If you are in heaven, you cannot miss anything here. No matter the position you have in heaven, you cannot miss anything here. If Jesus could miss anything here, He would have come to enjoy it here.

Proof Text: 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17

\[16\] May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,

\[17\] encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

We have been given the hope of eternal life. The encouragement Jesus and the apostles gave us is the hope of eternal life. We have eternal life, and there is also eternal destruction. Satan offers eternal destruction. Make your choice now.

The Apostle Paul was giving thanks for the hope of eternal life. Where is the message of eternal life that we use to encourage people? What do we use to encourage people these days?

Each time you find yourself in any situation, remember what Jesus has promised you. How many of you remember that even though I do not have it here now, I have it in heaven? I may be sick here now, but I have perfect health in heaven.

How do we encourage ourselves these days? Tell your neighbour, “Use heaven to encourage yourself!”

In whatever hardship you find yourself, use heaven to encourage yourself. Paul encouraged himself with these words: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

That is what he used to encourage himself.

The world sees departure from this life as evil, but Jesus sees departure to heaven as gain and departure to hell as evil.

The world sees departure as evil.

Don't look at things through the eyes of this world. Anytime you desire heaven, you are limiting your age here on earth. That is how the world sees departure. Anytime we see things this way, our souls are asleep.

Even Jesus died early, at the age of 33. If it were in our time, you would have said, “ painful exit!” Wake up now and wait upon the Lord.

The Bible says in Isaiah 40:31:

“But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Will this renewed strength be experienced here on earth? No, it is a renewed strength in heaven, not here. Wake up!

Wait upon the Lord. He has promised to renew your strength. You will become a new being who will remain forever.

The place where you will do everything without getting tired is waiting for us.
