ISAIAH 11:1
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
A rod doesn't just emerge; it must come out of a stem. A branch can't grow out without a connection to its roots. Did you get it?
Today's generation thinks this ancient rule is now obsolete. That's why many of this generation are exiting the earth in record numbers earlier than ordained.
John said about Jesus, " Luke 3:16, "I'm not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals," still Jesus went to him for Baptism. Why? John was a forerunner, and Christ had to give credence to the spiritual alignment.
Paul had his encounter with Christ alone on his way to Damascus but needed Ananias, who was a disciple of Christ, to lay hands on him for his sight to be restored. Acts 9:10-19.
Paul was already in the ministry before he joined others in the church in Antioch and waited until he was commissioned. Acts 13: 1-4
After years of ministering with impact and results, he stopped whatever he was doing. He traveled to Jerusalem to meet with the elders and Pillars of the faith to share with them the "gospel he was preaching among the Gentiles." Galatians 2: 1-2.
What for?
Paul wanted to make sure that he wasn't preaching his own gospel, thinking it was the gospel of Christ, and end up running the race in vain.
Who does that today? Just a few fools for Christ!
When you hear messages like " Heaven is a scam," "There is no Hell," or "Sin can't take you to Hell," you don't need to read the entire Bible; start only from the book of Acts "Jesus Christ is not coming," there is no Rapture and others. These rhetorics aren't revelations but errors rooted in spiritual pride and arrogance.
The faith was delivered to the saints, Jude 1:3, not us. The roots of the Faith don't exist in the present but in the past.
When pride leads, ancient landmarks are disregarded and laughed at to the detriment of the proud. Proverbs 22:28-29
I have so much to say, but time won't permit. I weep for this generation. Pride is taking many to their early graves, and sadly, many more are still on the same path, following and heading to self-destruction.
