Good evening, brothers and sisters present, ministers, and those who are with us via internet or the Amazonas satellite. For me it is a great blessing to be with you on this occasion, in this women’s meeting to which gentlemen and young men and young women have also been invited.
“LADIES SERVING GOD OUT OF GRATITUDE.”
In other words, willingly, with Love Divine, because we love Christ our Savior. Gentlemen, women, youth, and children, too; everyone serving God with gratitude.
Let’s read a Scripture: Saint John chapter 12… Chapter 12, verse 25 and on (of Saint John) where it says:
“He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
Therefore, ladies serving God with gratitude, notice the great blessings there are for you, and not just for ladies but for gentlemen, youth, and children; for everyone who serves Christ. Christ says: “Where I am, there my servant will also be.” This means we will always be with Christ throughout the millennium and throughout eternity.
On another occasion, Saint Peter and the disciples said to Christ in Saint Matthew chapter 19, verses 27 to 30:
“Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”
Here we can also see the blessings there are for those who, if need be, have to leave their father, mother, son or daughter, their properties, lands, or house behind, and would do so for Christ. In other words, the believer is willing to surrender all for Christ, but Christ will give him eternal Life and will give him inheritance in the Divine Kingdom.
That is why in Saint Matthew, chapter 6, verse 33 Christ said: “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
In other words, the first thing in life for every human being is, should be, and must be: the Kingdom of God. There is nothing more important that the human being can receive. The Kingdom of God is the most important thing.
And therefore, the entrance into the Kingdom of God already has a Divine Program established. That is why Christ said to Nicodemus in Saint John, chapter 3, verses 1 to 6: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus asks: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born again?”
And what if Nicodemus’ mother had died? It would be impossible for him to be born again, according to what he thought. And if she was old, an elderly woman with a grown man in her womb? In other words, he did not understand what the new birth was.
And Christ said to him: “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
Now, we have had a physical birth in order to enter the kingdom of this world, the kingdom that is controlled by the enemy of God. To enter the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of this world in which we were born… which the enemy offered Christ after he fasted for forty days. He offered the kingdoms of this world to Him, and Christ rejected them. Notice, he asked Him to worship him, and he would give Him all the kingdoms of the world. In other words, he had established worship to be for the enemy of God instead of God.
But Christ said to him: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,” not Satan, but rather: “thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” He rejected the kingdoms of this world, and notice, even though it was a challenging circumstance, he continued serving God, he continued in the Kingdom of God and continued to talk about the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God will be established on this Earth physically when the Stone not cut by hand comes, and that is the Coming of the Lord as King, as Lion, and the kingdoms of this world which are at the stage of the feet of iron and clay, will automatically be destroyed.
And now, Christ knew that the Kingdom belonged to Him. That is why in Revelation chapter 11, verses 15 and on, He says that the kingdoms of this world became of our Lord and His Christ, meaning, His Anointed One. And that is where the men and women, youth, and children who have been serving Christ with gratitude have an inheritance.
Wherever your heart is, that is where your treasure is. And where your treasure is, that is where your heart is. Christ said: “Lay up for yourselves treasures,” where? In Heaven: “Where thieves do not break,” (where there are no thieves). [Matthew 6:20.] It is because Satan, who is the thief, was cast out of Heaven with his entire kingdom, with his entire army.
Therefore, that is the place where what we have stored is safe and does not lose its value; and we do this not only by contributing financially, but also by working in the Work of the Lord, which transcends to the Kingdom of God, and thus we lay up inheritance. Because Christ said: “I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation chapter 22, verse 12.
And in other places, we also find promises of great blessings for those who serve Christ with gratitude, grateful for the opportunity that Christ gives us to serve Him without limitations. But He expects us to do it with gratitude, being thankful for the opportunity that He gives us, and out of love, not because we are obligated to do it, but because we love Him with our soul and we acknowledge that we are His.
He is our older brother, and our older brother loves us and He shares His inheritance, because He is the heir to all of Creation. He shares it with those who serve Him with love and gratitude in this earthly life; but what we do, it transcends to the Kingdom of Christ. And we have been born into it through the new birth and we live our spiritual lives there, which for many people may seem to be an earthly thing (what we do), but what we do transcends to the spiritual world, to the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. Because it is a Work in the Kingdom of Christ.
We are heavenly citizens as part of the Mystical Body of Christ our Savior. Therefore, everything we do for Christ with love and gratitude in the spiritual realm is being done in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
Therefore, ladies, continue serving God, serving Christ with gratitude and out of gratitude. I will be with you tomorrow as well, God willing, here in… here or there. If I am not here, I will be close by, don’t worry. Or maybe I will be here for a short time and there for a short time; however, we will be close, there is no problem. And on Saturday I will be with the ministers. Where? Here. And on Sunday? Nearby, footsteps away from here.
It has been for me a great privilege to be with you these days. We did not have this planned, but God has allowed me to be with you this evening to share with you moments of fellowship in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior.
May God Bless you and keep you. And to the ladies: always continue serving God out of gratitude, just like the sisters, the ladies, the women who followed Christ in His missionary trips, services, throughout Israel, and it says that they served Him even with their goods; and they were also present at the crucifixion of Christ, and then they saw Christ… ladies were the first to see Christ resurrected.
Therefore, they have always had an important part in the Divine Program, in the Kingdom of Christ our Savior. Do not lose that blessing. And serve Christ with gratitude in the great opportunity Christ has given you in His Kingdom.
And men: do not fall asleep, because (from what we see) there have always been more ladies, women, serving Christ than men. If you go to a service you will always see a greater number of ladies than gentlemen.
And we also find them working more in the Work of the Lord. God has given women a great blessing; therefore, take advantage of that blessing to serve Christ with gratitude and Love Divine.
Until tomorrow, God willing. I will be with you again at the services appointed for tomorrow. Now I leave with you the missionary, Dr. Miguel Bermudez Marin.
He always waits for dessert, and the dessert was what I told you after I had finished. Therefore, God bless you all. And God bless you Miguel, and thank you for the opportunity to be with you here in this service. God Bless you Miguel.
