THE TRUE CHURCH OF CHRIST:

The True Church of Christ is epitomized (symbolized) by the Philadelphian Church. It is the Church that is referred to as the Bride of Christ; for she has prepared herself and made herself ready for her Bridegroom (Christ Jesus The Messiah).

The Messiah thus comes and picks (takes/raptures) her to the Marriage (Wedding) supper of The Lamb, in the Glorious Kingdom of The LORD God Almighty in Heaven.

In other words, there are so many groupings/individuals that refer to themselves as “Church”. But only the Philadelphian Church passes the threshold of being declared by The LORD to be the True Church of Christ.

The foolish virgins were also a “Church”, but only the wise virgins were the “True Church”. When the Bridegroom came/comes, He will only take the wise virgins (The True Church of Christ). But the foolish virgins (the fake/false “Church) will be left behind.

The Philadelphian Church is thus the faithful Church that has remained True to the Word of God/the instructions of The LORD.

The Church essentially is not a building, but a collection of believers; each believer in Christ being a Church in their own Individual capacity, even as they fellowship together as a body of believers in Christ Jesus. The True and faithful Church.

Therefore, even the Philadelphian Church is not a building or a sign post written on a building or on a signage; it is thus also a Church in an Individual's capacity, and when they (the individuals) gather together to fellowship, then it becomes a communion of believers (The Philadelphian Church).

Therefore, the true mark of the Philadelphian Church is her faithfulness and truthfulness before The LORD The God of Heaven. This has got nothing to do with denomination or a physical name of a “Church”.

Christ Jesus is not coming for a denomination or a physical name of a “Church” or a “Ministry”. Christ Jesus is coming for The True believers (in their individual capacity; which then forms The Church): The True Church of Christ. The Philadelphian Church. The Wise virgins. The Bride of Christ.

One’s Preparedness and one’s Readiness is what makes one be part of the Philadelphian Church (The True Church of Christ/The Bride of Christ), before the sight of God.

Preparedness and readiness through: -

-Repentance for the forgiveness of one’s sins through the Blood of The LORD Jesus Christ.

-Righteousness: by following the ways and the requirements of The LORD, as is stipulated/written in the Holy Book of God (The Bible).

-Holiness: Separating oneself (setting oneself apart) for the glory and honour of The LORD. Taking to the path of purity (pureness) before The LORD, and avoiding spiritual contamination of the world. Running away from sin. Fleeing sin.

-Wisdom before The LORD The God of Heaven: The Fear of The LORD. Reverence towards The LORD The God of Heaven. Being wise and avoiding foolishness of Godlessness.

SHALOM!!!

Revelation 7:13-14 ‘“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”’

Mathew 25: 6-13 ‘“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’  Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘LORD, LORD, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”’

Revelation 19: 6-9 ‘“And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For The LORD God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife (bride) has made herself ready.” And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”’

REPENTANCE PRAYER:

Precious Jesus,

I acknowledge today that you are LORD and Savior of all mankind,

and today I have recognized my shortfall,

I Repent and turn away from all Sin.

Please cover me with your Precious Blood,

and establish your Word in my life,

that I may be found in Righteousness and Holiness

and write my name in your Book of Life

and baptize me with the power of the Holy Spirit

in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

AMEN.

 

Your Brother in Christ Jesus, and a Shepherd of The LORD,
