God's Demand and Judgment upon the Vine, Page 2

J. O. David
converted the Garden of God to themselves. They have no regard for God and forgetting that they are part of the fruit of the Garden that will have their eternal rest with God at last. But they chose the way of the devil, desiring the world and its wealth, sold their souls and the souls of their ignorant followers to the prince of this world. They beat and killed all the servants of the Lord that He is sending to them from time to time.

  The ministers don’t kill men physically today like in those days but they kill themselves and their ignorant followers like the devil killed Adam and Eve. They are killing the servants of the Lord with half truth, special revelation that is contrary to the Scripture, upside down gospel, entertainment, wealth, and many other things. They will tell the new breed that, that is the doctrine God gave to Bishop Thingummy, that is the revelation God gave to General overseer Thingumabob that contradict the scriptures. They force people to believe their erroneous teaching above the Word of God. Some will tell the young ones that we have done more than yours before and all those zeal will soon die. They kill people with their messages, they over emphasize the matter that has no relevant to the kingdom of God and trivialize the essential things in their bid to continue amassing wealth to themselves because they want the vineyard to be theirs. These husbandmen are crafty, heartless and wicked. They don’t have the eternal purpose of God in the hearts for the flock. They package lies wrap with the name of Jesus and give it to the ignorant the trust them. Their judgment linger not and their damnation slumber not

  It is so grave when you see a whole ministry or denomination speaking perverse things and all of them are after the gold and the silvers of their ignorant followers. Many denominations seem to agree together in practicing the same thing and speaking with one language without considering the fruit God is expecting from the vineyard He entrusted unto them to feed the flock of God in order to yield good and perfect fruit unto Him. They are only concerned about their welfare and greatness on this earth at the expense of their eternal destiny. The wicked husbandmen killed the servants the Lord sent to them to bring forth the long expected fruit, but the gold and the treasures they are getting from the fruit sweeten them and they get the vineyard converted to their own. They are first class criminal, robbing the owners of his field and killing of his servants. They withhold the truth from them like the Pharisees that took away the key of knowledge, they refused to practice the truth themselves and those that wanted to do it they hinder. All what they are counting is the amount of tithes, offering, firstfruit and special gift that enters into their coffer every service day. They are less concerned about the spiritual condition of the people whether they are living holy, minding spiritual things, and their welfare. Some husbandmen can’t tell their members the truth that New Testament has canceled some Old Testament ordinances because it is still feeding their greed. They only interpret the scriptures to suit themselves and edge God and the people out. How can leaders that are not even concerned about the eternal destiny of their souls be concerned about the eternal destination of his members? The husbandmen love the things of this present world they are getting from the people and despise the Word of God. They have trained their tongue to lie that the truth look like big mountain to them. They can’t declare the teaching of the Lord Jesus but can talk about His miracle and use His name to deceive the simple. Can they preach about the holiness and righteous standard of God constantly in their churches, pointing their followers to heaven as the Lord Jesus Christ? No. Can they preach about inward and outward holiness to their followers? Why, because they are guilty. Their wives dress like Jezebel and you want them to dress like Mary. Like mother like daughter. That is why they can’t bring forth any fruit unto perfection and their greediness caused them to kill the servants of the Owner of the vineyard. Who led the Israelites from the way of God and hindered them from bearing fruit unto the Lord, was it not their leaders, the husbandmen. The Scripture says

  O MY PEOPLE, THEY WHICH LEAD THEE CAUSE THEE TO ERR, AND DESTROY THE WAY OF THY PATHS. The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? Saith the Lord GOD of hosts (Isaiah 3:12-15).

  Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. FOR THE LEADERS OF THIS PEOPLE CAUSE THEM TO ERR; AND THEY THAT ARE LED OF THEM ARE DESTROYED. Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for everyone is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still (Isaiah 9:14-17)

  Several other places in the Scripture, the problem was with the leaders, the husbandmen.

  Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.  They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart (Jeremiah 12:10-11)

  The LORD in an attempt to bring men back to Him, He chose the husbandmen to lead the people and guide them according to His Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit, but instead of doing this, they turned after lucre. They turned the people that supposed to praise God to bread and eat them to the bone and flayed their skin. They turned them to their possession and the achievement of their goals. By the time the LORD was expecting the fruit from His vineyard and sent several servants to the husbandmen to give Him the fruit of the vineyard, the husbandmen have converted the heritage of the LORD to their own and beat, wounded, and killed the servants of the Owner of the vineyard, and treated them shamefully and sent them away empty. Leaders don’t kill people today like in the Old Testament time, but what they do is to kill them by brainwashing those that are sent to them to conform to their error and heresy in the name that everybody is doing it or there is no perfect church or obey your leaders or send them away if they refuse to yield to their erroneous way and they will systematically bribe those that are sent to them until they center the hearts of the young that are zealous for God to gold and expensive lifestyle they are living. They teach them to follow their half-bake or make-up doctrine. They teach everyone to respect them because they are still God’s servants and thereby subtly kill the new generation leaders. Most of them are now afraid to be followers of Christ because they prefer to be followers of their leaders instead of Bible, interpreting the Scripture in line with their fathers, and read their books. No one can tell them, sir, you are not on the way sir, your interpreting of the Scripture and message is wrong or the cutting edge messages that can bring transformation of life is not preached. It is their gospel they are preaching, not the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. God can’t send prophets to us today like in the Old Testament, because they would not allow him to speak to them. And if he wants to do it, the way the prophets of the Bible did it, they will ask their security to arrest them, even the members will not even listen to them as those in the time of Jeremiah did. I heard recently that a man of God asked the security to carry someone that challenged him of collecting tithe from Muslim without caring of their eternal destiny. Another minister did the same thing to the one that challenged him. We are back to the Old Testament pattern.

  Out of His infinite mercy, He sent His only begotten Son to ask the husbandmen to bring the fruit of the vineyard unto Him, and to give His message to the vine that will make them to bring forth good fruit. But when they saw Him; they thought that He wanted to collect the vineyard from them so that their pot of soup will dry, then they plotted together and killed Him and cast Him out of the vineyard so that the vineyard may be theirs forever. The life of many husbandmen are not different from these husbandmen, once they have received the ministry from the L
ord, the Owner of the vineyard; they turned it to their personal business where they could gather large wealth and milk out the sheep they were supposed to feed. They feed themselves; they clothed themselves with expensive clothes, flashy cars, jets and mansion while they hide the truth from their members. They intentionally hide the truth from their members so that they might be their perpetual inheritance instead of building them up with the solid truth of the Scriptures. They build them in the way of the world instead of the way of the Lord and the Lord will not lesson His standard of holiness, righteousness, faith, watchfulness for His return because of any greedy shepherd. If they repent not, eternal damnation will be their consequence. Their lives have damned the lives of many and drew them to their sides. Those that thought that they are following the right path and that God is speaking to them, not knowing that they have turned after lucre and sold their souls and the souls of their hearers to the devil.

  While many leaders are still there on their pulpits, the Lord is
