GREETING FROM THE PASTOR

It gives me a great pleasure by the spirit of the Lord Jehovah to welcome you to this website, ‘Reconciled Family Church’. I know very well that Jehovah has been gracious to you because He is a gracious God. It is, of course, a sign of His grace upon you to live and live in this sinful world until today. It is even a sign of His grace upon you also to know that there is God – I mean a true God – in this kind of generation and period when many people think no more about the true God because they do not know Him. This, I know, is the sole reason you may be seeking to know more about God whom you have already known something about, though what you know about Him might be little just like myself when compared to what He wants us to know about Him. This, no doubt, is the only reason somebody like you may be looking for such a website like this on the web when there are so many websites of its like that merely provide entertainment for millions of people that are simply looking for fun and pleasure in the various websites of the world.

Of course, I know very well that this period and the generation you and I found ourselves is just like that period and generation which David found himself when he said by the Spirit of God, ‘The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one’ (Ps. 14: 1 – 4, NKJV.). There are indeed many people that time that thought in themselves that there was no God. The sign of this, according to this Scripture, is that they were found to become corrupt in their thinking and ways. It is also evident in the abominable works which they were found to be doing in serving other gods that were not gods and which cannot by any means save them. And the situation of things that time was so worst that there was no single person that could be said to be doing what was good in serving the true God.

This observation could have been considered to be a mere thing except that it is said that it was the same thing that was found by Jehovah Himself when He looked down from the window of heaven upon the son of men. He found that there was no one among the son of men that seek after Him. This shows to Him that there was no man on earth that time that had the spirit of understanding in Him because it is by the knowledge of a true God which a man has that His understanding would be known. This is what is taught by Him through His Spirit in the life of Jeremiah when He said that anyone that wanted to glory should glory because He understands and knows Him (Jer. 9: 23, 24). He also taught that anyone who understood should show it by good life – deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom (Jms. 3: 13, NKJV.).

So, God is not wrong to have drawn the conclusion which He drew about the people of the world that time. He could not have been wrong also to have drawn the same conclusion about the people in this world today also since the situation of things today could not be said to be different so much from what it was that time also. The rate at which the knowledge of the true God is vast disappearing from the hearts of many people of today is a clear indication of this. And this is testified to by the level of the corruption of the hearts of men in this world today that makes almost nothing to work anymore today. Even the rate at which the interest of people in seeking for the knowledge of the true God is fading in the hearts of men is a clear indication of this also.

Who goes to Church anymore to seek the knowledge of God today? …… There is hardly anyone. It is clear that majority of people go to the Church to search for people that would help them to grow riches and wealth just as the men of world do in the various clubs of the world they belonged. This, of course, is the reason they join the clubs and it could not be wrong for them to pursue the purpose for which they found themselves in the club. But, it is unfortunate, however, that many of the people that could be called children of God had had no better purpose for coming into the presence of God than for the same purpose people would join the club.

I am not saying that it is a wrong thing for a man to prosper and become wealthy. Abraham who was our father of faith prospered and was made wealthy in silver and gold and livestock. The same was the situation with Brother Isaac – He became so prosperous in the land of Gerar that he became the envy of the king of the land and everyone of the people in the land of the Philistines that time. Even Jacob was made prosperous in the house of Laban to the extent that he became the envy of Laban and his sons. Halleluyah! The wonderful news today is that God has promised prosperity to us also. This promise is in the Scripture. It is the promise that was made for the children of Israel in the Old Testament time and it is our own promise in the New Testament dispensation as well. How then can it be said by anyone that it is not good for you or anyone to prosper and be wealthy because you are serving the Lord Jehovah? ….. No, this cannot be true.

But, nonetheless, it is wrong for a man to pursue after the knowledge of prosperity and wealth-making without the knowledge of God. It is the knowledge of God which a man has that will give him the grace to know the word of God which he had to keep for him to prosper in life. So, the knowledge of prosperity cannot be complete in itself until there is a serious desire and eagerness in man to know God and His words. This is what is missing in many people that are in many churches of the world. And they will not even desire to seek for God because of prosperity because they see Him as anti-prosperity God when actually He is not. This is the sole reason many people are turning after other gods and never think of seeking after the knowledge of true God. It is also the reason many people are joining occult societies of the world in the sake of prosperity-making. And if you will not yourself and have rather have time to seek after the knowledge of God by clicking on such a website like this, then you are more than ordinary man in the sight of God. This is one thing which the Spirit of God wants you to realize about yourself. And it is worthy of commending you for it. It is also worthy of praising God for it also. Halleluyah!

You are indeed like Rahab in the sight of God. This is a woman and the only woman that can be found in the city of Jericho where nothing good was expected to be found by God because of the corruption of the people of the land and their neighbourhood. But there in the land was a surprise for God in the person of Rahab right there on the wall of Jericho and in a room where nothing good was expected to be found. There in the harlotry office was a surprise for the Joshua and the rest of the children of the Lord that time in the person of Rahab. This is what you are if you are truly a beloved of God and have clicked on this site because of your love for God. And I know by this that you are no one else than the delight of the Lord Jehovah.

I then see nothing that prevents God from decorating you with every good things of life just as Eleazar decorated Rebekah with beautiful nose-rings and costly bracelets. He did this for her because she was the only woman that could be found by the Spirit of God for him as the only wife of the only beloved son of his master, Abraham. What then disturbs God from decorating you with wisdom that is more costly than golden earrings and bracelets that were given to Rebekah because you are the woman which the Spirit of God could find for the beloved Son of the Almighty God by virtue of this love which you have for Him by seeking for Him in His knowledge? ….. There is just nothing. It is for this reason that I know that you are a blessed one of the Lord. And it is my prayer that the blessing of God will remain upon your life in the name of Jesus. Amen.

But I know that this love that is found in you is not of yourself. It is of God who has been gracious to you to list your names among those people that would be saved in the world. So, I cannot but thank the Lord Jehovah through the Lord Jesus who has made such a grace available for someone like you despite the great sin which have been committed by your fathers, not even to talk about those sins which you have committed against Him in the past yourself. I am hereby on your behalf saying a very big than you to Jehovah for having counted you worthy of His grace to salvation in His beloved son, Jesus Christ. Halleluyah!

I am also saying a big thank you to Jehovah on behalf of you for His faithfulness to the promise of His salvation which He has made for the people of this world who would believe in His begotten son for the salvation of their souls. I know very well that it is His faithfulness that made you a believer in His son. It is even His faithfulness that made you fall in love with Him that you are looking for where you can have someone speaking about the one you love that you may satisfy your curious heart by it. I know also that it is by His faithfulness that you are led by His Spirit to discover such  site as this because I am really sure that it would bring the blessing of God to you in a great measure. So, I know that this God who has done this much for you because He would be faithful to His promise to save your soul will surely complete that which He has stated in you in Jesus name. Amen.

It is in this faith together with you in God that I welcome you to this site of the Reconciled Family of Christ Mission on the Web for the blessing of life, even eternal life, and all other things that are essential to life. Jesus has told us that we should not worry about what we would eat, drink or wear. He said that His Father in heaven knows that we need all these things and that He would give them to us. And I am sure that God would do this for you and everyone that believes in Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. He has even been doing this for you and every one of us before now. And I am sure also that He will do it more than ever before as you are making effort to know Him more and more through the knowledge of His son as God will enable us to do in you through this website by the connection which you have with it.

Therefore, at this point, I am welcoming you to the Reconciled Family of Christ Mission on this website, Reconciled Family Church, that connects you directly to God through the Lord Jesus Christ that you may be a partaker together with Him of all the Spiritual blessings which God is having for everyone that believes in Him as well as those who will believe in Him. Once again, I say you are welcome as you are getting connected with the Lord Jehovah through Jesus Christ. May God bless your soul abundantly as you are staying connected with us in the body of Christ in the name of Jesus. Amen.

General Overseer of the Church,
