[Shinchonij God's Word] Have you been harvested?

All things about God and heaven can be answered through God’s word, since God and his word are never separate (Jn 1:1).
 Let’s look at what scripture says about each simple question.


Have you been harvested?
In Matthew 13 Jesus tells the Parable of the Weeds:

24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
 
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”

second coming, the “end of the age” (Mt 13:39).
At the time of the first coming Jesus was the good man who sowed the seed of the kingdom of heaven in his field, the field of Christianity. But there comes a time when the seed that has been growing in Jesus’ fields needs to be harvested.
It tells us that at the end of the age Jesus will come with his angels and harvest the good grain, the wheat, from the field – those who have been born of the word of God (Mt 13:39; Mt 24:30-31). They do not remain in the field; instead they are harvested and taken to the barn.

parable of the weeds Shinchonji
 
So, what then are the weeds?

The weeds represent those that are born of the lies of Satan (the seed of the devil), and are therefore “sons of the evil one” (Mt 13:25 & 38). They are not born of the word of truth, they are not God’s children (James 1:18).
Even though for many years the two seeds grow together and are perhaps indistinguishable between the two for a while, it becomes very clear who truly belongs to God (wheat) and who actually belongs to the evil one (weeds) at the time of the harvest.
Those that are harvested are the good grains, those that remain in the field are the weeds, born of lies, and ultimately end up being burned (Mt 13:30 & 40).
If we are those who claim to belong to God, then we have to be those who are harvested. If we claim to be harvested, then we have to be those who know where and what the barn is (Mt 13:30).
Mt 24:15-16 is also a prophecy concerning the second coming. We have to be those who flee to the mountains, not those who stay in the temple when we see the abomination standing in the holy place. This is the same situation as being harvested out of the field in Mt 13.

Where are God’s firstfruits gathered today, at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment? Rv 14:1-4 tells us that those who belong to God and Jesus are gathered at Mt Zion, God’s dwelling place (Ps 43:3; Is 2:2). They have come out of Babylon (Rv 18:4), and have gathered before God’s throne at Mt Zion. These are the good grains that have been harvested and taken to the barn (Mt Zion).
If we claim to be those who are harvested and those who truly belong to God, then we have to know where and what Mt Zion is. If we stay in the same place and never ‘flee’ then we prove ourselves to be those who have chosen to stay in the holy place with the abomination. Those that remain in the field and refused to be harvested prove themselves to be the weeds.The wheat Shinchonji.

Today, at the time of Revelation’s fulfillment, the harvest is taking place (Rv 14:14-16). God is with the promised pastor, whom he has sent, and that promised pastor is at Shinchonji, Church of Jesus – the Temple Tabernacle of the Testimony. He is testifying to the truth of Revelations fulfillment! Have you heard? Can you judge it according to the words Jesus promised us? And are you following the word of God to his holy mountain?
Today is the time of harvest… Do not remain in the field!!




Have you been harvested?

[Shinchonji meaning of the gospels] Baba Yetu -”Our Father”

lenging to think about. it is important to examine our hearts and reflect on Gods words to create a righteous mindset and attitude.

 

“Baba Yetu” is Swahili for “Our Father”
 

Matthew 6:9-13
 

“This, then, is how you should pray:
 

"Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliber us from the evil one."

 We should think about why Jesus asked us to pray this way.
 Firstly we should think about what it is that makes God our Father?

In Genesis God created man (Adam) in His image. It is only 2 chapters later that  God says “the man has now BECOME like one of us” (Gn 3 v 22). If you are created one way – in the image of God almighty – and you become something else, surely it means that you are no longer the way God created you to be. And since this is taken in context after Adam and Eve sinned due to the serpents deception in Eden, we know that after they listened to Satan instead of God, they became people with sin in their hearts! Satan knows both good and evil – he wascreated good and became evil, just like Adam and Eve(Gn 6 v 5-6). When that happens God leaves men, because God cannot dwell with evil, He is all good. (Gen 6 v 3). The point I am wanting to make is that since the appearance of Satan, not all men are made in God’s image any longer. Therefore, not all men contain God’s spiritual DNA.

God’s seed (DNA) is his word (Lk 8 v 11). In Jn 6 v 63 Jesus compares the words he speaks to both spirit and life.

Therefore  God’s SEED = WORD = SPIRIT = LIFE! right? Isn’t it true that if Adam had listened to God’s word he would have had eternal life? Sin would never have entered man’s heart and so death would never have been part of the equation.

Jn 3 v 3-5 tells us that we need to be born again of spirit and water. Well if Jesus is saying that His words are spirit then the answer is not so abstract! I agree with poor Nicodemus, in that having someone tell you to be born again is a pretty far-fetched and unfathomable idea. But with the explanation and hind-sight we have today we can clearly understand that it is those who understand Jesus’ words and Love him (bearing in mind HIS definition of Love Jn 14 v 15 & 23), who are being born again, back into God’s image.  Why must we be born again? Because of the fact that men are descendants of Adam’s… and Adam was no longer God’s son, he was no longer made in God’s image, because He betrayed His creator. For us to be like Christ (Christians) we need to follow the instructions in 1 Pet 1 v 23! We need to be born of God’s “imperishable seed”, the “living and enduring WORD OF GOD“. Then our hearts can resemble God’s heart and we an pray for things putting Him first. (Mt 6 v 33).

The reason I got no response in the supermarket all those years ago, was because the man I thought was my father was really a stranger. He did not recognize my voice because I wasn’t his child, and so I’m sure the stranger would’ve eventually turned around and said –  ”little girl, I don’t know you!“… Luckily my real dad, loved me enough to hear me when I needed help and despite not getting my chocolate milk, I was so relieved to have found my father!

We should make sure that we are truly God’s children…this means that we need to not only call ourselves his children, and be self-proclaimed Christians, but we need to be the ones who are acknowledged by God. In the end we stand before no one else, we have only God to answer to, no friends to support you, no others to blame…we will each be held accountable because God’s word has been given to us so that we are without excuse (Rom 1: 20-21).

Let’s all be those who belong to God, and are born of his spiritual seed,so that we can be part of his kingdom and priests
