To announce the arrival of the New Order of The Agesunder the DIVINE GOVERNMENT OF GOD RULED BY

THE KING of kings and LORD of lords, (Isa 9:6-7; Zech14:3-9; Isa 2:2-4); assisted by 144,000 immortal kingsand priests, (Rev 14:1). The Kingdom of God will ruleover the remnants of the Great Tribulation and the 7Last Plagues, one-tenthof the world’s population (Isa 6:11-13; 24:1-21; 26:19;Mat 24:21-22; Rev 6:4, 8; 8:11; 9:11, 15), who will be left alive, and considered worthy to be taught God’s Word,God’s Will, God’s Way, and do God’s Work, (Isa 2:1-4),

and understand the deep things of God. All workingtogether cheerfully and joyfully to build the civilizationof the Millennium under God, to shine in truth and inrighteousness (Isa 26:9), and in peace (Isa 32: 17-18).

To TEACH the pure WORD of GOD. To announce that the Good News of True Salvation is now being fullyPREACHED and PUBLISHED among all the Gentiles. Tobear the wonderful Good News that the door to the

Gentiles has now been opened wide by the Captain of Salvation, the Author and Finisher of the Faith, theCHRIST of GOD, (Acts 14:27; 18:6; 28:28; Col. 1:27).

To make it known to them that their true hope is in

CHRIST JESUS. To be PROCLAIMED to all of themwithout fail that the hope, and TIMES of the Gentiles is

soon to be fulfilled, (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 11:11, 12, 13, 18;15:16; Eph. 3:6; 2 Tim. 1:11; Luke 21:24).

To finally make known, reveal, make crystal clear, that

the ULTIMATE FINAL DESTINY OF MAN IS TO BE BORNAGAIN INTO THE GOD FAMILY AND KINGDOM, OF GOD,BORN OF THE SPIRIT, BORN OF GOD, IMMORTAL, ONE

IN GOD, (Gen 1:26-27; Jn 3:21-8; Jn 17:21).

To carry the WARNING, and for it to be a WITNESS tothese eastern nations. To DECLARE the arrival of the

PROPHESIED DISTRESS and TUMULT among the



vii

nations, (Col. 1:28; Acts 1:8). That this shall be madeintense by the arrival of the PROPHESIED worldwide

DECEPTION, (Mat 24:4-5; 11:23-26).To sound the trumpet and push the button of the alarms

of WAR, even as the world is swamped with RUMORS OFWARS, (Matt. 24:6-7).

To WARN and TELL to the peoples of the East that theFOUR HORSEMEN of the Apocalypse now rides with

ferocious vigor. Their long journeys across the millenniabeginning from inside of the GARDEN OF EDEN

launched by the lying evil and wicked serpent,, and willsoon climax in the destruction of the wicked one and his

legions as evil and wicked, that old serpent Satan thedevil and his deceived fallen angels, (Rev. 6:2 {white};

6:4 {red}; 6:5 {black}; 6:8 {pale}.

To announce the arrival of the prophesied

EARTHQUAKES, of FAMINES, of PESTILENCES, andALL THESE shall be the BEGINNING OF SORROWS,

(Matt. 24:7-8).

To warn of the presence of the prophesied FALSEPROPHETS, who, from among them, the many will lookto as unto gods, (Matt. 24:1, 23-28).

That the work of god - 21st century, is now here.

Having been raised by the Living Christ to commencethe great beginnings of this phase of the work of

god. ”Because a short work will the Lord make uponthe earth,” and for us His loyal servants, a short time todo it in, (Rom. 9:28).

That we are NOT out to try to convince, NEITHER toforcibly try to convert anybody, or anyone, anywhere,anytime. Yet we must, as commanded by the Apostle andHigh Priest of our Profession, teach all men everywhereto repent for the remission of sins, and to do all things



viii

that Christ the Son of God has commanded us. (Mat 28:19-20; Lk 24:47).

That we earnestly teach and actively practice THE WAYOF PEACE, (Mat 5:9; I Tim 2:2; Jas 3:17). For the worldlost knowledge of the way of peace (Rom 3:17; Isa 59:8).

That we enthusiastically TEACH and faithfully PRACTICEthe Way to LOVE GOD with all our heart, our soul, and

our mind, with all our strength, and with all ourunderstanding, (Matt. 22:7; Mk. 12:30, 33; Lk. 10:27).

That we sincerely teach, and continually practice THEWAY TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR AS WE LOVEOURSELVES, (Matt. 5:43; 19:19; 22:39; Mk. 12:31; Lk.

10:27; Rom. 13:9; Gal. 5:14; Jas. 2:8).That we diligently teach and zealously practice HOW TOHAVE TRUE SUCCESS now in this time, and in the world

to come, SPIRITUAL SUCCESS with EVERLASTING LIFE, (Matt. 6:33; Mark 10:28-30; Jn. 13:17; Isa. 58:13-14).

That we seriously teach and lovingly practice turning back the hearts of the fathers to the childen, and the hearts of

the chlldren to their fathers, (Mal. 4:6).

That we gently, tenderly, patiently FEED and NOURISHSPIRITUALLY THE FLOCK for whom Christ TheRedeemer, the Lamb of GOD died, and purchased with

His own blood, (John 21:15, 16, 17; Acts 20:28; I Peter

5:2).

That we compassionately, mercifully, and so kindly

HEAL THE SICK, (Lk 9:1,2; 10:9), when we encounterthem as we go our way to proclaim the Gospel of the

Kingdom of God.



ix

That we do practice pure religion undefiled before Godand make visits and care for the helpless orphans, the

fatherless, and the widows in their affliction, (Jas 1:27).

That we point to the nations and its peoples, and families,that the Eternal Creator God has left a window open for

the blessing of health and prosperity to be known if theywould be glad and sing for joy, and PRAISE THE GOD OFCREATION for all His wonderful works! That they would

learn to PRAY and PRAISE the Everlasting LORD, (Ps67:1-7; Ps 147:1-20; 148:1-14; 149:1-9; 150;1-6; Mat

26.30; Mark 14.26; Eph 5.19; Col 3:16; Jas 5:13).

All these, to FEARLESSLY and COURAGEOUSLYPREPARE THE WAY for the return of the GREAT GOD, our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, King of kings,and Lord of lords, (Matt 24:14; Mk 13:10; Titus 2:13;Rev. 17:14; 19:16).

THIS IS THE VISION THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

INSPIRES FOR THE WORK OF GOD – 21

ST

CENTURY TODO IN THE ENTIRE EASTERN HEMISPHERE.

Golden Scroll Series XLVII - GO, FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD

PREFACE

The planet earth has 6 continents.

There dwells on its surface of land mass spread calculated assix billion three hundred million human beings, and growingand increasing rapidly, daily, flesh and blood, born of woman.They are mortals. Measurable in their capabilities. Limited intheir capacities. Finite in their abilities. Of course, they do notbelieve that, being naturally proud. In their own eyes, they areinvincible. Capable in doing anything they set out their minds

to do.

Having sent out into outer space astronauts, and cosmonauts,hav ing seen them walk out there into the vo id ,they have become smug. Self-sufficient. And finally, havingseen one of their own, representing them as it were, walk onthe moon, they felt, vicariously, like they were, indeed, as littlegods!

To keep all these mortals alive, and kicking, so to speak, theymust be fed. To keep them energetic, full of vitality andenthusiasm, they must be nourished by food. By water. By air.To keep them sustained, as to maintain the same energy withall its attendant human-power generating life-force, they mustbe fed. Fundamentally, and basically, with three square meals



16

a day. This is a given, the rule for every man and woman,observed throughout the earth.

And so it goes.

When God created mankind from the dust of the earth, andfirst placed the first two human beings in a garden in theGarden of Eden, He gave to them the Original Divine Mandate,(Gen 1:26-31).

He gave them the resources of herbs, plants, citrus, cleananimals, and fish. “Unto you,” He declared, “they shall be forfood,” In a later written revelation to the people of Israel whomHe had raised and chosen to be a model nation to the rest ofthe world as one who would live by His Word, Will, and Way,and to do His Work, He promulgated the Laws of Clean andUnclean meat derived from clean and unclean animals. As the

Creator, He knows what is good for man. And He knows whatis bad, even poisonous, or not good, for man. It is calledabomination in the Holy Bible. Man thinks otherwise. And sodoes otherwise, and eats accordingly. It is, in most parts of theworld, civilized or uncivilized, gourmet. Even delicacy.

They are written for all to read, see, think about, believe, andthereby, practice and live by, or EAT BY, in the book of Leviticus

11:1-47, and reconfirmed in the book of Deuteronomy 14:1-21.

All of these are for the physical sustenance of the material,physical body. The human body, is now known to composeboth of chemicals and water with a measured quantity andratio. It is said that in today’s monetary worth, the chemicalcomposition is about US$16.50, counting for inflation.



17

To the God of Heaven, who called out a people in the last daysto be His own, holy, and undefiled, (Deut 7:6: 14:2, 21; 26:19;

28:9; Isa 62:12; Dan 8:24; 12:7; Rom 1:1; 1 Cor 3:17, 34;Eph 1:4; 5:27; Col 1:22; 3:12; Rev 22:11), He wills that His holyones eat not any abominable thing. He had His Son, the LordJesus Christ, who sits by His right Hand on His Throne in theHeaven, to chose them, who will be called His elect, (Mt 24:31;Mk 13:27; Rom 8:33; Col 3:12; 1 Pet 1:2). To these who know

the Truth, (1 Tim 4:3), He ordained that they should be fed withthe pure truths of God. That they ought to be nourished

from the true doctrines of Jesus Christ. That theymust be sustained with the Bread of Life, and the LivingWaters, by the Word, which are Spirit, and are Life.

The Lord Jesus Christ calls them “My lambs. My sheep. Hislittle flock, (Jn 3.27; 3.14; 21:21:16, 17; Lk 12:32).

The world’s leaders, who God has allowed to be His ministers*to keep order in the interregnum, (Rom 13:5, Strong’s # 3011,

Gk: leitourgos*, a public servant, functionary) before the LordJesus Christ is sent back to earth to take over the Throne ofthe Kingdom of God, as King of kings, and Lord of lords, (Acts3:21), their top priority is to see to it that all the peoples in

their watch, administration, and governance, are fed. If theyfail, the result would be terrible food riots on the streets, andthe fearsome sight of blood flowing. Murder. Mayhem.Uncontrollable, as it did in Argentina not far back as a result ofthat government’s default in its international monetaryobligations, and caused run-away inflation, and a financialcrisis of the first magnitude.



18

The Holy Scriptures, in the New Testament, reveal that theEternal Creator God’s primary concern is the welfare and well

being of the Lambs of Christ, ( Jn 17:16-26), even as He willsthem to be in good health, physically, and in materialprosperity, (3 Jn 2), and living the abundant life. (Jn 10:10).Thereby the true servants of the Lord are exhorted, yea, theyare commanded by the Lord Himself, to FEED THE CHURCH OFGOD, IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.

This Golden Scroll Series XLVII is the spiritual blueprint to

perfectly guide those that were ordained by Him to do so It isnot a frozen set of guidelines but will keep growing by way ofbeing magnified in their true spiritual meaning and purpose.“Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and SaviourJesus Christ,”(2 Pet 3:18) is its animating principle, andthereby is Spirit-directed throughout. It can be no less. They,the Lord’s servants, can not, by virtue of this inspired

revelation, instructions, exhortations, admonitions, doctrines,ever have an excuse to fail, or fall out, from doing so.

So it is written. So must it be done.

CHURCH OF GOD

GOD Speaks!

Golden Scroll Series XLVII

GO,

FEED THE CHURCHOF GOD

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,

over the which the Holy Spirit hath made you overseers,to feed the Church of God which he hath purchased withHis own blood,” (Acts 20:28).



20

Why did the Lord Jesus Christ

command His apostles and His

disciples to feed His lambs?

What must His servants feed the

Church of God?

How are they going to sustain the

Body of Christ?

How are you going to help thembear the very fruit

Christ desires them to have?



21


CHURCH OF GOD

Part I

FEED MY LAMBS

John 21:15-1715. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? Hesaith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. Hesaith unto him, Feed my lambs.

16. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son ofJonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou

knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

17. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas,lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said untohim the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him,Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep

The Lord Jesus Christ was very particular in Hiscare and concern for the Church of God, (Jn17:2-26).The Church which He established and foundedupon Himself, the Rock, (1 Cor 10:4)The Church is His spiritual body., (Col 1:18).He is the Head of the Church of God, (Col 1:18).



22

He named it after the Name of God the Father,(John 17:12).

In twelve places in the New Testament ScripturesHe inspired the name of the Church would beplaced 12 times, (Jn 17:11; Acts 20:28; 1 Cor1:2; 10:32; 11:16, 22; 15:9; 2 Cor 1:1; Gal 1:13;1 Thess 2:14; 2 Thess 1:4; 1 Tim 3:5, 15).

The number 12 is the number that symbolizes perfect

organization.

Christ started to organize His Church with 12apostles.

He will rule from Jerusalem in the New World toCome assisted by 144,000 kings, and priests, (12 x

12,00).

WHY FEED THE CHURCH?

The Church of God is a spiritual body, (I Cor10:17, 27; Col 3:15)

It is a living spiritual organism, (Eph 3:6; 4:4). Yes, the church has many members, (I Cor

12:14).

And they are flesh and blood. They are mortals. Theyare human beings, born of woman. Heirs of God while yetin the flesh. The children of light, (Eph 5:8).

One day, they must be born again. Born again intospirit. Born again into the Family of God. From being



23

mankind, they must be of the God-kind,(John 3:1-8). Then,they become inheritors. As joint-heirs with Christ, they

will inherit the universe, (Rom 8:12).

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREAT MYSTERIES OF GOD.

That the Church of God is like unto an embryo in thewomb. Every member therein are also like one. An embryomust be nourished in its mother’s womb. Every member in

the spiritual Body of Christ must be nourished and sustainedspiritually. If not, that embryo withers and dies. It aborts. Inits spiritual journey from baptism and spiritual begettal in thefaith towards God, (Heb 6:1),{1st phase}, and in the next2nd phase, in its continuing spiritual journey into God,(Jn 17:21). it could turn left, or it could turn right. It is inmotion, but just going thru the motions. It could veersidewards from that journey, off-center, away from the Lord

Jesus Christ. And when it does, it becomes like a twig thatwithers. It tries to be self-nourishing. With self-wisdom, andself-righteousness. It tries to attain self-generated faith, thatabounds in the world outside of the spiritual Body of Christ.

THE WORLD OF THE LIVING, WALKING DEAD

In times past before they became members, they werepart and parcel in every way and manner of the world. Theywere active, living participants in the ways of the world. Theworld, the system that exists and continues to carry on underthe total control, influence, and sway of man’s swornadversary, Satan the devil, the wicked adversary. And



24

assisted by his legions of invisible spirit demons, all wickedand evil. All the members of the Church of God were at

one time in their past, without hope and without God inthe world.

Ephesians 2:12

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the

commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of

promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

They were dead in sins, (Col 2:13), hence they were theliving walking dead. Yet they carried within them a world ofspiritual baggage. They accumulated all these, and keptaccumulating in their being unconverted, secular,materialistic, carnal state thru weeks, months, years,decades, of absorbing, like a dry sponge. all the untruths,

half-truths, seductive folk wisdom and folklore, superstitions,all the fables, the myths, the legends, mysticism, occultpractices, the entrenched godless ideologies, the “isms”, thephilosophies. It became their world-view. All of these mustbe cleansed out from their minds.

HINDERED LIKE THE REST: BLOCKED BY THE

HABITFORCE OF FAILURES

The force of wrong habits, like the earth’s gravity,weighed them down. Repeated failures, became repeatinghabits of failures, brought by wrong concepts, and strongbeliefs, they swore to, and lived by, held them back. All of it.were negative forces that weighed them down in every living



25

daylight from which they never seemed able to recover from.Their nights for rest were replete with fears and nightmares.

The world of the around, and the people around which theymove, are weighed down by the same forces of failure, andthey are influenced by them. Their attachments to them addto their unperceived burdens that are constantly pulling themdown. Dragging them sidewards at every turn. They areeasily persuaded by those who appear to have superiorknowledge, who in themselves are abject failures in the

things that really matter. They are trapped in their trust inmen who are untrustworthy. They are bamboozled by theirown feelings of inadequacy and insecurity into becomingfawning followers of hypocrites, and parasites.

BLOCKAGES EXCISED AND REMOVED FIRST

And because they must be cleansed of and from all of

these, they needed to be replaced and imbued with thepure knowledge of God’s Will. Patiently fed and sustainedwith God’s pure, unvarnished, Word. They must beconsistently taught to walk on God’s straight and narrowWay.

PROCESS OF TRAINING AND PREPARATION IS

CRUCIAL

They must be prepared and trained to do their assignedrole in the Great Work of God. Emptied vessels, the HolySpirit must then fill them up. They must be given the

continued supply of the Spirit of Christ, thru them



26

asking God by fervent prayer with all

supplications.

WATERED, AS IT WERE, TO INSURE

SUCCESSFUL FRUITION

Now, they must be nurtured, that they may “continue in thefaith grounded and settled, and be not moved from thehope of the gospel. which is under heaven,….”(Col 1:23).



27

GOLDEN SCROLL SERIES XLVII – GO, FEED THE CHURCH

OF GOD

Part II

THEY ARE THE CALLED-OUT

ONES TO BE CHOSEN BYCHRIST, AND MADE INTO HIS

ELECT

(“Many are called, but few are chosen,

(Mat 2o:16; 22:14).

Here is the inner world

of the believers and

practitioners of the Way,

(Acts 19:9, 23), in the Faith once delivered to the saints, (Jude 3),

who were first called Christians in Antioch, (Acts 11:26; 26:23; ), andexhorted by the apostle Peter to endure suffering as such, (1 Pet 4:16).

A secret society it is not. A secret order of initiates and ascended

masters it is neither. It is not an assemblage of the “illuminated” New

Age gurus, disciples, and followers. The Church of God IS NOT a



28

spiritual body ever remotely CONNECTED, not by an iota, with the

Transcendental Meditators., nor Levitators. They never empty theirpriceless minds to practice Yoga to reach Nirvana. The world out there

in the biggest, largest, cults, who are garbed in purple vestures with

Bible-sounding terminologies, and speak softly and purr with soothing

words to the accompaniment of trembling organ music, like to throw

back the despised word: the True Church of GOD, the churches of Christ,

is a cult!

Nothing in the Church of God is a dark, hidden, secret. The priceless

Truths of God, and the glorious wonders of God’s Mysteries were never

meant to be kept by the initiates. Neither to be guarded by the the elites.

Nor kept close to the breast by the self-appointed guardians of some

religious icon, or statuary. Not anything to be defended by the testedknights.

They were not to be couched in carved stone symbols and etched in

geometric configurations, and imbued with strange, mysterious mystic

powers, and hidden from the ordinary laymen. For then they become

carved idols forbidden by God, for they can become habitat for demonmanifestations.

GOD’S GLORIOUS TRUTHS are all for sharing. They are all for reaching

out to every man, woman, child, aged and young together, peasant, poor,



29

wealthy, and rich, simple and learned. The liberating splendor and

wonder of TRUE SALVATION, spoken with trumpets on the rooftops inthe Proclamation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.

The apostle Paul, Christ’s chosen apostle to the Gentiles, spoke of this

before King Agrippa when he was tried:

26 “For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speakfreely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him:

FOR THIS THING WAS NOT DONE IN A CORNER,’ (Acts 26:26).

The word church as written in the Bible came from the

Greek word ecclesia (Strong’s # 1577- religious congregation,assembly, called-out ones, saints on earth).

When they heard and read of the Gospel of theKingdom of God, they believed it.

They were convicted by the power of the Gospel.They received the faith to believe. They repented of theirsins. They accepted Christ as their personal savior andHis precious blood for the remission of their sins.

They were washed clean, pure and white as snow whenthey were baptized, immersed in water symbolizing thedeath and burial of the old man in them. When they roseout of that water they were laid hands-on.



30

They rose into the newness of life emptied of all thedirt and filth of sin. Their minds were made ready to receive

For they wereredeemed from the penalty of death for their sins of thepast, And now they are sanctified, set apart for God’sholy use and sacred purpose. For now they are justifiedby His death and resurrection. To live by the faith ofChrist in them, not their own self-generated faith. For

WHO WILL FEED THEM

WITH SPIRITUAL

KNOWLEDGE?

In the above referenced scripture, John 21:15-17, theLord Jesus Christ, the head of the Church, the High Priest,the Author and True Finisher of the Faith, the Captain of

Salvation gave the authority and designation as to who willfeed His Church.

The apostle Peter and the other original elevenapostles were personally chosen by Jesus Christ to beHis disciples.

He approached them personally and told them directly tofollow Him and He would make them fishers of men. Hetrained them personally for three and one half years until theday when their training was finished, and then He wascrucified.

They were witnesses to His crucifixion. They werepersonally told by Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, the



34

mother of James that He was risen from the grave,(Mat28:1-10; Mk 16:1-8). They personally met Him, the risen

Lord, and they had meeting with Him before He ascended toHeaven. They received power through the Holy Spiritand they manifested by signs and wonders theconfirmation of their authority to feed the Church of God.

The same is true of Saul, the Pharisee. The Lord JesusChrist personally chose him on the road to Damascus, the

book of Acts reveal the factual story. Christ changed hisname to Paul. And made him an apostle, to bring the Gospelto the Gentiles:

15 “But the Lord said unto him, ‘Go thy way, for he ischosen unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles,and kings, and the children of Israel: 16 For I will showhim how great things he must suffer for my name’s

sake,”(Acts 9:15-16).

Acts 22:5-21

5. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the

elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to

Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for tobe punished.

6. And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh

unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great

light round about me.



35

7. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul,

Saul, why persecutest thou me?

8. And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I amJesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

9. And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid;

but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

10. And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me,

Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all thingswhich are appointed for thee to do.

11. And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by thehand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.

12. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good

report of all the Jews which dwelt there,

13. Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive

thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

14. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou

shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the

voice of his mouth.



36

15. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen

and heard.

16. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash awaythy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

17. And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even

while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;

18. And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out

of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

19. And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every

synagogue them that believed on thee:

20. And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was

standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them

that slew him.

THE APOSTLE PAUL’S MAIN JOB, AS CHRIST

DIRECTED

21. And he said unto me, “Depart: for I will send thee farhence unto the Gentiles.”

The Lord Jesus Christ trained the apostle Paul on thedesert of Saudi Arabia as He trained the 12 apostles.



37

THE TWELVE APOSTLES MAIN JOB, AS CHRISTDIRECTED

The 12 apostles were directed not to go to the Gentiles.

Their job was to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 10:5-6:

5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, “Go not

into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter yenot .

6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

The apostle Paul had a specific job to do. His was to

be the apostle to the Gentiles.

What are they going to feed the Church of God?

The Lord Jesus Christ told them to teach all thingsthat He had commanded them to do.

”Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen,”

(Mat 28:20).

The same is true with the apostle Paul.



38

The same is true with, and of, those that the Lord JesusChrist has chosen to feed the flock in the 21st Century:

13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

mouth, and honoureth me with their lips. But their

heart is far from me.

9 But in vain do they worship me, teaching for

doctrines the commandments of men,” (Mat 15:8-9;

Mk 7:7).

8 “BEWARE lest any man spoil you throughphilosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of

men, after the rudiments of the world, and NOT

after Christ,” (Col 2:8).

meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of

Hebrews 6

1. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, letus go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, andof resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment

The above scriptures guides

those who will feed the Church of

God.

New born spiritual babes-in-Christ must be fedwith spiritual milk.

They must go through the paces to begin withimparting fundamental knowledge comprising of the



49

doctrines of the faith, and the beginnings of thebody of beliefs. They have to be gently nourishedwith care, (Heb 5:12-14).

They must understand how to correct gently.Prudently. Circumspectly. Even diplomatically. Yet,the firmness of authority must not be lost, and deftlyhandled, (READ THE EXAMPLE OF PAUL

DEALING WITH PHILEMON, {Ph vs 1-25}). Thetendency of new converts is to be puffed-up andfeel exalted when they receive spiritual knowledge.They must not begin to think that they are or havebecome spiritual giants. It takes time, the processof time in nourishing the young ones in the Churchof God. It takes all the patience, understanding andgentleness. Learn from the literal shepherds ofsheep.

They must take care not to offend the youngones.

Christ warned that they are better hanged with amillstone on their neck and cast into the sea than tooffend these little ones.2 “It were better for himthat a millstone were hanged about his neck,and be cast into the sea, than that he shouldoffend one of these little ones,” (Luke 17:2)



50

Those who would feed the Church of God wouldknow when the time is ripe to feed them withspiritual meat. And over time see that they havelearned to be mature and ready.

Apostle Peter counseled:

11 “If any man speak , let him speak as the oracles of

God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorifiedthrough Jesus Christ; to whom be praise and dominionfor ever and ever. Amen,” (1 Pet 4:11).

Hebrews 5:12

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have needthat one teach you again which be the first principles of theoracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk,

and not of strong meat.Hebrews 5:14



51

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even

those who by reason of use have their senses exercised todiscern both good and evil.

That will be time that the apostle Paul describesto Timothy to teach other men that they may teachothers.

2 Timothy 2:2

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses,the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach

others also.

THEY MUST BE FED WITH FOUNDATIONALKNOWLEDGE TO IMBUE THEM WITH THE FEAROF THE LORD. FEAR WHICH MEANSREVERENCE. RESPECT. YIELDEDNESS TOGOD’S WILL. HUMILITY TO FOLLOW THECOMMANDMENTS AND INSTRUCTIONS OF

GOD. TO REMOVE SELF-WILL ANDSURRENDER EVERY HIGH THING TO THEOBEDIENCE OF CHRIST, (2 Cor 10:5).

• They must be continually nourished withspiritual instructions, to receive teachings that



52

will make them “rooted and built in Christ, and

established in the faith, and abounding therein withthanksgiving,” (Col 2:7).

Ephesians 4:12-16

12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for

the edifying of the body of Christ:

13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of

the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of

the fulness of Christ:

14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and

carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, andcunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things,

which is the head, even Christ:

16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted

by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in

the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying

of itself in love.

SEEKS FOR FRUITS TO BE

BORNE

Christ looks for fruits, (Lk 13:6, 7).

GOLDEN SCROLL SERIES XLVII – GO, FEED

THE CHURCH OF GOD

You must have fruits, even as Paul, (Rom 1:13).

You must have fruit unto holiness, (Rom 6:22).

You must bear the Fruit of the Spirit, (Gal 5:22).

The apostle Paul seeks fruit from disciples toabound to their account, (Phil 4:12).



55

Know that the husbandman (God The Father)seeks’

for fruit to manifest, (Jas 5:7).

If you were sown and planted on good ground,you will bear good fruit, ( Mat 13:23; Lk 8:8).

The Living Christ wants His disciples to bear

much fruit,

(Jn 15:8, 16).

The True Gospel brings spiritual fruit, ( Col 1:6),

They must be manifested in this physical life.demonstrated in how they live life.

The Wisdom from above will yield for you in yourmind and life to be full of good fruit, (Jas 3:17).

You will be filled with fruits of righteousness, ifyou do these things, (Phil 1:11).

CHRIST REQUIRES AND SEEKS FOR FRUITS IN HISPEOPLE. IF THEY FAIL, HE MERCIFULLY GIVESTHEM A CHANCE TO BEAR FRUIT AND SUCCEED.AND AFTER, IF THEY STILL FAIL, AND REMAINBARREN, THEY CAN NOT NOT QUALIFY FOR THEKINGDOM OF GOD. SO THEY MUST STRIVE TOQUALIFY AND HELP THEM TO DRAW CLOSER TO

THE EPISTLES OF PAUL

TEACHES HOW TO FEED

THE CHURCH OF GOD

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for

doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good

works,” (2 Tim 3:16-17).

The Church of God was insidiously attacked by

the prophesied apostasy in the 1990’s. The evilforces of deception and division seemed to prevail,and conquered, spearheaded by a religious mole, asleeper spy. The Work of God was once again,delayed. Hindered. But, as Christ, the Founder andHead of His Church decreed: “THE GATES OF



58

HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT,” ( Mat16:18).

When the Church was scattered, there was a lot ofhurt and division, trauma and shock. Trust wasshattered by the enemy and from within.

Today there are still about 30,000 baptizedmembers who are scattered throughout the worldwho were offended. It is said that they would nothave anything to do with the Church of God.

Who will bring them back? Who will bringanointing and healing to their spiritual wounds?

Who will feed them? Who will bring them the“Balm of Gilead?”

In the ancient nation of Israel, in the time of theprophet Jeremiah, the House of Israel, the House ofJudah, sinned against God. Even as they did the

Lord God pointed to the pastors and shepherds forthe scattering. And He promised healing and help.

Jeremiah 3:12-15



59

12. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou

backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you:for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for scattered thy waysto the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith theLORD ever.

13. Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against theLORD thy God, and hast.

14. Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you:and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:

15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you withknowledge and understanding.

5 “For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God is witness:

6 Not of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we mighthave been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

7 But WE WERE GENTLE AMONG YOU, EVEN AS A NURSE CHERISHETH HER

CHILDREN:

8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted untoyou, not the Gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because you were dearunto us.,” (1 Thess 2:5-8).

Through this process God has promised to bring thescattered sheep to Him, by giving them pastors andshepherds according to God’s own heart to feed them withknowledge and understanding is going to come to pass. Hewill raise these helpers, even as He has raised a number ofthem already.

In this time of the 21st Century, the Lord Jesus Christraised The Work of God 21st Century to proclaim the

Gospel of the Kingdom of God in the entire EasternHemisphere where most of the Gentiles live and dwell.Somewhere in the far east, there is a place of 7,000emerald isles where the Gospel of the Kingdom waspreached unto. The fruit of the work that was done in itsday produced 5,000 baptized members.

are fully magnified. For they are spoken by the same Eternal Creator God, Rock,Redeemer, and Saviour. In the Old, God set forth the Code and Letter of the HolyLaw of Love.

WHO ARE THE

SPIRITUALLY

FATHERLESS AND

WIDOWS?

The Lord Jesus Christ disclosed that purereligion and undefiled before God is to visit thefatherless and the widows in their afflictions and tokeep oneself unspotted from the world.

The Lord Jesus Christ reveals the deepermeaning of that exhortation. Visit the spiritual

widows and spiritual orphans. The former are,evidently, the scattered congregations that have losttheir ministers , their pastors, their spiritualshepherds, who defected to the apostates. Thelatter, are the individual members who were leftconfused, and as it were, in spiritual limbo till today.



68

PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING COMES AS A

BLESSING

Even in this, God is revealing the deepermeaning of the Holy Scriptures to the Work of God -21st Century. Thus, we are made able, to betterunderstand the profound symbolisms, metaphors,allegories and other difficult scriptures.

A key principle is so revealed in I Cor 10:11:

!! “Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are

written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.”

The Holy Scriptures, now 66 books of the

approved canon, as prophesied in Isa 8:16:

“BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES.”,confirms that they were primarily inspired, written,and preserved for the believers, practitioners ofthe Faith once delivered to the saints, thefollowers, and DISCIPLES of the Lord JesusChrist in the 21st Century. The whole world, allmankind, to whom the Gospel of the Kingdom ofGod must be proclaimed, comes next.



69

The Work of God – 21st Century finds itselfdirected by Christ to bring this visitation tocome to pass.

In the moment, the top and utmost

priority is to feed the Church of God. The

Lord Jesus Christ expressed this care and

concern in His most intimate true Lord’sPrayer to God the Father, (John 17:6-26).

The servants of Christ Jesus must do no

less.

The apostle Paul taught Timothy to: “Preach the word;

be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-sufferingand doctrine,” (2 Tim 4:2).

The epistles of Paul in the New Testament werepreserved by Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit toprovide resources as their stay, and spiritualknowledge, as their staff, to feed the Churches of

God that are already in this region of the world andthose that are being called by God the Father. Thenthey will come out. Thereafter they are, and will be,chosen by Jesus Christ. Then joined to His spiritualbody, The Church of God, thru the Holy Spirit, inthe eastern hemisphere.

Part XI

“GREATER LOVE HATH

NO MAN THAN THIS…”

This present generation, that is both living witness andopen-ended participants to its current rages as themasses’ present, ongoing desires, often think loudlyand come forth speaking out on the streets. “Make love,

not war!” Or their celebrity singing idols endlesslyexpress in their rock and rap music:”What the worldneeds is love!”

To these, love is that emotion of the heart. To many of these, love is sex. Sex without boundaries, adventurous,unbridled, wild, experiential experiments. To the

majority, love is the Greek word “eros”. They are alsotalking about love in the Greek word: philadelphia,

which translates into brotherly love. This iscommendable and noble. They are sadly, however,mostly unaware of the deepest meaning of love, as

written in Greek: agape, which is spiritual love, deepaffection, benevolence. And being unaware, and having



71

rejected the knowledge of the mainspring and source

of LOVE, agape, the peoples of the earth are living with,and by, a glass of water half-empty, and half-full,figuratively.

To these, the majority, it is that effusive, indefinablesomething towards one or the other. And so the planet earth revolves on its axis, with its inhabitants wishing tolove, yet not quite understanding what love really is.

This is quite a paradox, indeed. It is for this very reasonthey cannot really know how to love, more so, how tolove another. And so wars and conflicts rage on in somany regions on earth. Violence and horrible crimesare reported daily thru network, and local, regionalradio, newspapers, and television. What of the hiddenphysical, verbal abuse and familial, fratricidal physicalviolence and horrible crimes inside houses people

euphemistically call their “homes”?

The Lord Jesus Christ, looking into the future when Hewas here with His mortal disciples at the Mount of Olives, while yet in the flesh, sadly proclaimed:

“Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall

wax cold,” (Mat 24:12). The Lord was talking of lovebecoming chilled and frozen inside of His spiritual Body,the Church of God. For it is they who know the truth of what TRUE LOVE IS ALL ABOUT.

Knowing this, and now forwarned with foreknowledge,YOU now must be mentally and emotionally retooledyourselves.



72

YOU HAVE TO KNOW AND MASTER THE WAY HOW TOTEACH THE CHURCH OF GOD HOW TO LOVE ONE

ANOTHER. AND IT BEGINS WITH YOU HAVING LOVE(agape) in your heart and being.

9 “As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:continue ye in my love;

10 If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My

love; even as I have kept My Father’s commandments,and abide in His love.

11 These things have I spoken to you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is My commandment, THAT YE LOVE ONEANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.

13 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THATA MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.

14 Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I commandyou.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I HAVE CALLEDYOU FRIENDS; for all things that I have heard of MyFather I have made known unto you.

16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, andordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit,



73

and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever yeshall ask of My Father in My Name, He may give it to you.

17 These things I command you, THAT YOU LOVE ONEANOTHER,” (Jn 15:9-17).
