Earth's Last Crisis Series‏ Day 1: Knowing the Time

Day 1: Knowing the time

·         The bible talks about the last days as  perilous time -  2 Tim 3: 1 – 5

·         We are living in the last days. Our salvation is nearer than when we first believed – Rom 13:11

·         Jesus knew the time (John 13:1 – ). He told us everything we need for our salvation, even the end of the world (John 13:19) so that “when it is come to pass”, we may believe.

·         He gave His disciples sign for His second coming and for the end of the world (Math 24).

·         Pointing to the importance of prophecy as the end time gospel Jesus says “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”. (Mathew 24:14).

·         What gospel was Jesus referring to?

o   Remember, the four books that we call gospels were not yet written. Jesus was talking of the end-time prophecy. He was referring to the end-time gospel based on prophecy. (We cover this in more details in next series).

o   In verse 15 Jesus makes it clear about the kind of gospel He was referring to. He refers us to the book of Daniel. He says “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)” Mathew 24:15.

·         Some people think that it is not necessary to understand the prophecies. They say “we only need to preach about love”. However, true love, while pointing us to Jesus, it leads us to understand prophecies. It was these prophecies that Jesus was referring to.

o   Mathew 24 is full of prophetic events that we cannot afford to ignore (Mathew 24:4,25). You cannot separate love and prophecies.

o   Daniel and John were the loved ones, and to these were the end-time prophecies given. (Dan 9:23; John 21:20,24 and Rev. 1:1-3).

o   Love is connected with prophecy. For example, while 1 Corinthians 13 is about love, the 1 Corinthians 14 is about prophecy.

o   You cannot separate the church with prophecy. In fact, God’s last days church is clearly identified with prophecy (2 Peter 1:19) and in prophecy (Rev 12:17 and Rev 14:12)

·         “Let Daniel speak, let the Revelation speak, and tell what is truth. But whatever phase of the subject is presented, uplift Jesus as the center of all hope” TM 118.1

The great storm is coming. Oh if we knew the time! – Luke 19:41 – 44

Now is the time, let’s repent, believe the gospel and be ready.

Welcome to V.O.R

Voice of Redemption is a faith based organization in Tanzania which aims at achieving success in supporting evangelism and personal spiritual well-being.

Voice of Redemption was established in 2007 and it has been operated under Joy Advent since 2004 whereas in most programs the ministry supported THISDASO in Mzumbe University within the campus and outside the campus.

The Vision of the ministry is to achieve success in evangelism and our personal spiritual well-being.

The Mission of the ministry is to contribute our talents such as singing and preaching, expertise, professions, financial and non-financial resources toward evangelism in digitally and manually.

Objectives,

·        To support evangelism through financial and non financial basis.

·        To promote spiritual well being of the members.

·        To promote Christian talents such as singing and preaching.

·        To give special support to members in spiritual and social challenges

·        To give moral and material support to the community

·        To conduct annual reunion each year.

One of the most remarkable event was the first Dodoma Reunion on 5^th - 8^th December 2008 where as more than 20 members from around the country together with THISDASO members from Dodoma, AY and Church members gather together for ministry in Prisons, Bible Study, Singing and fellowship to the glory of God.

VOR is guided by the theme TELLING THE WORLD. In this theme we believe in the following seven key aspects to accomplish our ministry;

Touching

We are God’s touching hands. There are a number of people out there who need a touch from someone, a touch to their needs, a hug from a loving heart and a smile from a truly heart that cares.

Evangelizing

The world needs Jesus, the desire of ages, and He sent us to them when he went back home to prepare a place for us and those who are thirst in spirit. It is either more than just telling them about Jesus but also showing them the love of Christ. Mathew 28. 19

Loving

For God loves us all equally we should love one another as well. His love must flow from us to the whole world by first loving each one of us and thus the world may know His love through us. Loving God, loving each other.

Liberating

Satan has enslaved people of God in the prison of fear, guiltiness, ignorance and sin. He has abandoned them in the darkness of evil and no one can give them liberty except Christ through me and you. Let’s stand up and proclaim freedom and liberty to the captives for Christ died to set us all free. Gal 5:1

Instructing

It is our role to instruct in the doctrine and our lifestyles. Speaking the truth in love is all that is will quench thirsting spirits

Nurturing

Steady, constant and reliable support is needed to the daily surrendered hearts of God’s sons and daughters. If this will start within us it can workout positively to all God’s people

Gathering

We are God’s harvest hand. There is plenty in ripen field but Christ is just calling us after Touching, Evangelizing, Loving, Liberating and Nurturing to gather from His field and in all there is joy because little is much for Him.

Hear the sound of wars? Cries of the motherless? Tears of the broken heartened? Hopeless souls?...

WHO WILL GO FOR JESUS?

It is a call for the church to preach the word of hope to the world, the Good News that will proclaim freedom to the captives, heal the broken heart, touch the untouched and rich the enriched. And we God’s people who are called by His name we must be ready to go for His work in the ripen field as we are His working tools. We must reflect that hope from up high to all people living in this world, they must see Jesus through the little gifts He has granted to us.

HOW CAN WE DO THIS? It’s all on the 7TELLING through the VOICE OF REDEMPTION, the little that the Lord has blessed us with be it a talent or any material thing is much when GOD Himself is in it, it can win His harvest and we all rejoice to gather the harvest. Come join us!

Redeemed and we love to proclaim it by telling the World!
