Galitian 4 vs. 10
THE SIXTH MESSAGE OF UJU ACCORDING
TO THE SCRIPTURE TO
CHRISTENDOM
A message from Uju a servant of Christ Jesus by the grace of God through Christ Jesus, according to the word in the scripture,
2. To Christendom; glory and honor be unto LORD God Almighty and Christ Jesus our Lord savior forever and ever. Amen.
3. According to Amos 7.14-15:
“Then Amos answered Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees, and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, “Go prophesy to my people Israel.”
4. So am I, Uju, a worker of art by trade; the Word of God, the Spirit of God, in the name of Christ Jesus appeared to me in a flame of fire from the Scripture; and I immediately prophesied saying, “Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand” to people of the world.
5. I am no pastor, evangelist, prophet nor an apostle, but by the grace and mercy of God the father of Christ Jesus, I am writing this message to Christendom according to the scripture.
GALATIAN 4:10
Observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years! By the Jews
6. According to the law of Moses, observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years was parts and parcel of the Old Covenant in order to uphold the law, statutes and ordinances of the 1st Covenant in the land of Israel.
7. It was part of the worship kept with strict adherence. The strict adherence of this was such that sometimes it went against moral justice, mercy and faith.
8. One strict observation of this, is the sabbath.
9. The strict keeping of the sabbath brought about the attention of the Lord that made him to remind them:
“I am the lord of the sabbath.” Matt.12:8 And went to say: “It is lawful to do good on the sabbath.” Matt.12:12
10. For on sabbath, moral justice, mercy and faith were thrown to the winds in order to keep it laws. This is applicable in observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years according to the old covenant.
11. The Lord had to battle the strict observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years to bring justice, and mercy and faith to bear. The battle was carried on by his disciples after his departure to heaven, more especially by Apostle Paul, that made him to say warning as in Col 2:16-17,
“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.”
12. The strict observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years was a ploy used by the leadership of the Jews to cow their captives, therefore giving them up to human tradition according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.
13. On the strict observation, the leadership of the Jews tried to disqualify worshippers, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, taking their stand on visions, puffed up without reason by their sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knot together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God, Apostle Paul pointed out in Col. 2:18-19.
14. Based on the strict observation, Apostle Paul went further to remind the people held captive in Col.2:20-23 that,
“If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations, “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch’ (referring to things which all perish as they are used), according to human precepts and doctrines? These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting rigor of devotion and self-abasement and severity to the body, but they are of no value in checking the indulgence of the flesh.”
15. For this reason Apostle Paul was quick to retort in shock surprise in Gal.4:10-11,
“You observe days, and months, and seasons, and years! I am afraid I have labored over you in vain.”
Observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years!
IDOLATRY
16. According to the law of Moses, observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years was parts and parcel of the Old Covenant in order to uphold the law, statutes and ordinances of the 1st Covenant in the land of Israel, more especially the keeping of the sabbath.
17. But, this commandment was heavily abused; instead of bringing holiness, it led to sin.
18. The leadership of the worship placed heavy yoke on the worshippers by employing strict adherence to it without inculcating justice, mercy and faith in the observation. It was therefore placed well above the maker of the law – God, making it an idolatry, which is a grievous sin before God.
19. To carry out the observation, other ancillary practices of worship unholy to God were adopted, such as image worshipping, human worshipping, cult worshipping to promote rigor of worship, a ploy to prey on the worshippers.
20. For avoidance of human worshipping and the like, the burial place of Moses is unknown to man to this day. The people of Israel could have turned it to a place of worship. Recall that the people of Israel later went to worship the bronze graven image of the snake on the stick meant for healing for any one bitten by snake.
21. For the same reason to avoid idol worship, the Lord came not to show up a physical image, and made sure, all attributes of physical representation of himself were put away to evade being used as a thing of worship.
22. The Lord rather established a spiritual image, asserting that God is spirit, and anyone who wants to worship him must worship him in Spirit and truth.
23. The physical nature and attributes of the Lord were careful concealed to avoid the sin of idolatry by the people. Even the day he was born is still a mystery, although the prophesy of the very day was made.
24. The birth day of the Lord according to the prophesy was a very horrible day; a regrettable day of sordid memory and unworthy of celebration; a day of curse and sorry according to the scripture in Job3:2-8,
“Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’ Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. That night – let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the tear, let it not come into the number of the months.”
25. Job was not referring to himself but the Lord! The prophesy of the birth day of the Lord.
26. The same prophesy was given by prophet Jeremiah in Jer.20:14-18,
“Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him glad. Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, because he did not kill in the womb; so, my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
27. This is the prophesy of the day the Lord was born by prophet Jeremiah. They prophets had the day of the Lord’s birth revealed to them by God pointing to the associated sufferings.
28. To attest to the ugly event accompanying the birth of Christ Jesus as written by the scripture in Matt. 2:16-18,
Then Herod when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by prophet Jeremiah,
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation. Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.” Jer. 31:15
29. If this should be the situation surrounding the birth of the Lord, why celebrate the day he was born? Did not the scripture say in Eccl. 7:1-2?
“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death, than the day of birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for this is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to heart.”
30. Even the Lord enjoined his disciples to remember the day of his death than otherwise.
The abolition of observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years! By the Lord
31. By the single encounter with the woman of Samaria the Lord abolished the observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years, and brought to be a new way of worship – the true worship of God devoid of the gimmicks associated with the Old Covenant of worship.
32. In the encounter, the Lord said to her,
“Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.” John 4:21
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24
33. Going by this revelation of the Lord, it is clear the heart or spirit of man is the epicenter of true worship of God; it is no longer in Jerusalem or on the mountain, but in spirit and truth.
34. It is obvious that the rebuilding of the destroyed temple of worship in Jerusalem by the Christian religion in the name of ‘churches’ as a place of worship is a deceit in futility.
35. The glamour and pomposity associated with ‘church’ buildings today by Christian religion is a thing of pride against the will of God. They will all be destroyed like the Jerusalem temple building: it is no longer the way of worship acceptable to the Lord.
36. Therefore, in this religious reconstruction, is a rebirth of heinous observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years, by Christian religion to deceive their captives and the people of the world.
Observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years! By Christian Religion
1. Christian religion is the offshoot of religion of the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and other Jewish religious groups in the days of the Lord on earth, and quite different from the activities of the Lord and his early disciples.
2. The same elemental spirits of the universe inhabit and lead them. From the present activities of Christian religion though more wicked, it is evident that they are the children of the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and other Jewish religious groups in the days of the Lord on earth.
3. Christian religion recreated the practice of observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years to suit their selfish ambition, not anchored on any particular covenant as to law, statutes and ordinance like the people of Israel of the old.
4. Their act is a hybrid product of the Old and New Covenants – an awful beast!
5. Consequently, the awful beast created by Christian religion in observation of days, and months, and seasons, and years, notable among them are:
- Sunday worship – a form of sabbath
- Christmas
- Easter
- Celebration of birthdays
Sunday worship – a form of sabbath, a synagogue of Satan!
6. Sabbath is in the law of Moses as a commandment of God to people of Israel. Because of its abuse and subsequent change in the priesthood and the law it was set aside by the Lord, due to the fact it could not lead the people of Israel to salvation.
7. Conversely, Sunday worship established and adopted by Christian religion does not have any root either in the Old Covenant or the New Covenant. Its origin is shrouded in mystery with unfathomable stories surrounding the worship.
8. Sunday worship by Christian religion does have any structural method of worship just like the sabbath wherein God gave Moses every detail structure of its worship.
9. As result of structural disapproval by the Lord of Sunday worship by Christian religion, its foundation is deeply cracked leading to the diffusion of worships held by divisible religious groups sounding discordant religious worships.
10. The divisible worships inherent in Sunday worship gave birth to irreconcilable dissensions, hatred, envy, malice, rancor, rivalry and the like among various religious jurisdictions.
11. God’s tolerances of it does not mean his approval; just like allowing the weeds and the crops to grow together, and at the end of time they will be separated; the weeds will be burnt in hell fire, while the crops will be harvested to heaven.
12. Sunday worship just like the sabbath can never lead the adherents to salvation; just like the popular saying by Sunday worshippers: ‘church’ cannot save you. It is thus, a stage or concert in futility.
13. Sunday worship is just a synagogue of Satan!
Christmas – a hoax!
14. Just like Sunday worship, is the daughter, Christmas – a hoax!
15. Christmas is marked in celebration by Christian religion in commemoration of the birth of their so-called Lord.
16. The origin of Christmas is as mysterious as her mother – Sunday worship. Christian religion is celebrating in Christmas another Christ, called antichrist, and not the true Lord Jesus Christ.
17. Christmas commemoration is an anathema to the Lord Jesus Christ.
18. Come! How would you celebrate the worst day in the beginning of life: a day of bitterness and sorry; a day of shedding of tears; and regrettable day of emergence?
19. How stark in ignorance is this Christian religion in the futility of their minds to invent Christmas?
20. Christian religious with enormous assumed knowledge of the scripture could not understand the prophesies of Job and prophet Jeremiah about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. They felt these men of God were referring to themselves, no, they were prophesying about the event surrounding the birth of the Messiah.
21. The birth day of the Lord according to the prophesy was a very horrible day; a regrettable day of sordid memory and unworthy of celebration; a day of curse and sorry according to the scripture in Job3:2-8,
“Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’ Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrifies it. That night – let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the tear, let it not come into the number of the months.”
22. Job was not referring to himself but the Lord! The prophesy of the birth day of the Lord.
23. The same prophesy was given by prophet Jeremiah in Jer.20:14-18,
“Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him glad. Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, because he did not kill in the womb; so, my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
24. This is the prophesy of the day the Lord was born by prophet Jeremiah. They prophets had the day of the Lord’s birth revealed to them by God pointing to the associated sufferings.
25. To attest to the ugly event accompanying the birth of Christ Jesus as written by the scripture in Matt. 2:16-18,
Then Herod when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by prophet Jeremiah,
“A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation. Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more.” Jer. 31:15
26. If this should be the situation surrounding the birth of the Lord, why celebrate the day he was born? Did not the scripture say in Eccl. 7:1-2?
“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death, than the day of birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; for this is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to heart.”
27. Consequently, the marking of Christmas by Christian religion is ironically a mockery to the birth of the Lord. Besides, the celebration is hijacked, and subsequently became a period of wild licentiousness among the mighty and the high and the low in the Christian religion society.
28. It is on the premise of Christmas celebration the so-called minsters of the Lord took turn to mark and celebrate their own birthdays in an unprecedented and abusive manner, as though their lives in the flesh is praiseworthy. Very shameful!
Easter
29. Easter is the second daughter of Sunday worship by Christian religion. As to Christmas the first daughter, the origin of Easter is also a mystery.
30. The marking and celebration of Easter by Christian religion is on the understanding and believe is the resurrection of the Lord.
31. The Lord had countless number of times told his disciples of his resurrection, prophesying of his death by the hands of the Jews, and to be raised again on the third day of his death.
32. Even the prophets of old did prophesy about it. The LORD God, used Jonah as a sign of the resurrection of the Lord.
33. The early disciples of the Lord never understood and therefore never believed it, until it took place. The marking and remembrance of the death and resurrection of the Lord was informed by the Lord by event of the last supper, where the Lord enjoined them to breaking of bread and drinking of the vine in the form of eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood.
34. Among the early disciples of the Lord, the day the Lord resurrected was not different from the rest of the days, such that it wouldn’t become a day of worship turning it to idolatry. It was not at all remembered or marked as a special day by them, being aware of mistakenly becoming an object of worship, or another sabbath.
35. Nowhere in the scripture was it reckoned, or noted in the calendar of events by the Jews of the dispensation of life.
36. Today, Christian religion in the futility of their perceptions has made it an object of worship worthy of celebration. On assumption of the first day of the week, Christian religion from nowhere globally idolize this day – Easter, without knowing that they are practicing idol worship in the marking and celebrating the resurrection of the Lord.
Celebration of birthdays – a celebration of pillar of salt!
37. There is nothing wrong if you remember and mark the day you were born.
38. But, bear in mind it was the day you were born into sin!
39. It was the day your whole misery began.
40. King David, recalled in Ps.51:5 that,
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, an in sin did my mother conceive me.”
41. In the same circumstance, Job said in Job3:2 8
“Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’ Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrifies it. That night – let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the tear, let it not come into the number of the months.”
42. The same revelation was given by prophet Jeremiah in Jer.20:14-18,
“Cursed be the day on which I was born! The day when my mother bore me, let it not be blessed! Cursed be the man who brought the news to my father, “A son is born to you,” making him glad. Let that man be like the cities which the LORD overthrew without pity; let him hear a cry in the morning and an alarm at noon, because he did not kill in the womb; so, my mother would have been my grave, and her womb forever great. Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and spend my days in shame?
42. From the overview, it is apparent you are celebrating your miseries in the name of marking your birthday, what an irony! A celebration of life in sin. Wow!
43. How come about the so-called born-agains are the worst culprits more especially their high priests: GOs, senior pastors, pastors, prophets, prophetesses, apostles, evangelists, reverends, bishops, ………etc.
44. These so-called minsters of the Lord in Christian religion in the guise of righteousness celebrate their birthdays with pomposity, setting lengthy days of wild celebration parked with special programs as a result.
45. In the marking and celebration of birthdays by the so-called minsters of the Lord in Christian religion they dedicate and earmark huge amount of money, pleading with their captives of donations, gifts in reverence. On such occasions their places of worship become frenzied with shameful profligacy.
46. How come born-agains celebrate life in sin in the name of marking birthdays?
47. As a born-again, you have erased the day were born into sin. You now have a new birthday, which is eternal, indicating that you are no longer born of the flesh but born by water and spirit; therefore, you have become entirely a new creation.
48. As a new creation, your date of birth into sin is erased forever if you continue in faith in the Lord. Celebration of life would become a daily joy as you continue to rejoice in the Lord for saving you.
49. You should not call to memory the day you were born into sin any more. And if you should do that, it should be a day of sober reflection?
50. For, if you continue to mark your birthday as a born-again you are relishing your sinful life, as though you are not happy to be saved by the Lord.
51. Remember the incident of Sodom and Gomorrah and Lot’s wife.
52. Lot’s wife, was turned to a pillar of salt for looking back after being saved from eternal destruction by God. She relished the sinful life of Sodom and Gomorrah being ungrateful of the new life of eternity granted to her out of mercy together with her new family by God.
53. At that instant of saving her, she became a born-again on a platter of gold, but instead of celebrating the new given life, she decided to appreciate a sinful old life.
54. This is a scenario exactly what the so-called born-agains of the Lord in Christian religion more especially their ministers are doing. They are looking back like Lot’s wife to the sinful life they were born into after being granted a new life by the Lord out of mercy.
55. The celebration of birthdays by the so-called born-agains is a celebration of pillar of salt. They shall definitely share the same fate with Lot’s wife.
56. The scripture noted in Hosea 4:6,
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
57. May the wisdom of God – the Lord, in his infinite mercy grant you all, wisdom, knowledge and understanding in the worship of the Father of glory, and maker of heavens and earth in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen.
