Message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
What you are about to read will change your life forever. It is the important message of sin, repentance, forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ.
What You are Lacking…
I assure you, unless you are
born again, you can never see
the Kingdom of God.
John 3:3
A rich man came to Jesus and said he had really done his best in being good and following the law. But still he felt that something was lacking for him to receive eternal life and he asked Jesus what it was. Jesus answered him that the man needed to decide to leave everything in this world and follow him, Jesus Christ.
The same applies to all of us who are living in this present time. What we lack to receive eternal life is the most important of all, to believe in and follow Jesus.
Of all things that are certain, death is inevitable for all human beings. Young dies, old dies, but after death life does not end. (Hebr. 9:27) It has just begun. Only the body dies but the spirit lives on. Where? The finality of where lives shall be is clear: Heaven or hell […] And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:11-15
What is Salvation?
To be rescued from sin, judgment and spiritual death into peace and everlasting life!
You get your name written into the Book of Life.
Do You need Salvation?
Yes, everyone needs salvation since all have sinned. Sin is rebellion against God and came into the world through the disobedient of our forefathers (Adam & Eve). Sin is a destructive power which destroys our spirit, soul and body and separates us from God.
You need salvation because the uttermost consequence of sin is eternal death. (Rom 3:23, 6:23)
How can You get Saved?
Through believing in Jesus Christ. He came to redeem the mankind from sin. Jesus restored everything that went lost by our forefathers. He Himself took your sin on the cross of Calvary where He died in your place and rose from the death that you can have eternal life with God. Jesus loves you and wants you to accept His sacrifice in your place today. (John 3:16, John 10:10, Luke 19:10)
Believe in your heart that Jesus came to save you.
Repent of you sins and quit doing them. Receive His forgivness.
Accept Jesus the Lord of your life. (Rom 10:9-13)
Give your entire life and being to Him, Now!
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
and he with me.
Rev. 3:20
Receive Jesus and pray this prayer:
Thank you Jesus, that you gave your life for me at the cross. I now accept and pledge you as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive and deliver me from my sins and take full control of my life from now on.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Message: Are You Really in Christ?
Children of God, here comes a very important topic of our life time. It is a message that concerns every true candidate of heaven - “LESS THAN 1 %”.
I know a very special country of about 150 million in population, the total population of her Army is not up to one percent of the total population of the country. Now let me ask you dear reader, what is the population of your church members and that of its prayer warriors/intercessors? Is the population of the latter up to one percentage of the total population of your church?
Let’s check what happened in the book of Judges Chapter 7, taking the life of Gideon as a case study. God wanted to use Gideon for the deliverance of Isrealites from the hand of the midianites their enemies. In preparation for the battle, he gathered 32,000 experienced soldiers together, but God said “They are too many!” Why? He (God) did not want the glory of the war to belong to the people. So Gideon had to reduce the number drastically, 22,000 men who were timid and frigthened were sent back home, therefore out of 32,000 men it remained only 10,000! But the Lord said “They are still too many”. God is not interested in large quantity, but few and quality ones. Consequently, Gideon could do nothing of his own than to dance to the tune of the Lord. Each time we want to teach God what to do, He stops us because His ways are different from ours.
God now gave Gideon special instruction on how best to choose men who will go and fight the midianites. So Gideon assembled them at the water. There the Lord told him. “Divide them into two groups decided by the way they drink. Group one will be all the men who cupped water in their hands to their mouths lapping it like dogs. Group two will be those who kneel with their mouths in the stream”.
Gideon did not argue with God, nor questioned His authority over the few men going for the war. He admitted God´s verdict. Only 300 of the men drank from their hands; all the other drank with their mouths to the stream. God now said “I will conquer the midianites with these few men”. Ah! Are they not too few in numbers?
Fellow brethren, which party do you wish to belong, is it the 1st group or 2nd? Certainly you will prefer the 1st group who lap water like dogs because they are the ones who passed the test. Hum! But there`s nothing good with no price to be paid. In order to be among the few ones God wants to use in your church or ministry you`ve got to pay some price. You have to be obedient, submissive, and bold and be vigilant like those 300 men and above all take the things of the world lightly and focus on heavenly things. Do not be among the 22,000 who were fearful.
I wonder if the saints who will go with Jesus at the rapture will be up to 1 % of the 6 billion world population or not. But i know that we are going to be few in number. If you want to be among us, come quickly and register your name in the Book of Life by accepting Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour TODAY, and start walking fervently with Him in your daily life activities to the very end of your life time on this earth without compromising with this very world and it’s lusts.
Let us quickly do this simple mathematics before this exhortation is brought to close.
32,000 – total men invited for war
22,000 – disqualified for fear
10,000 – brave soldier, who were tested.
9,700 – qualified but failed the test.
300 – qualified and passed the test.
(I) Percentage (Disqualified)
= 22,000 x 100%
32,000
= 68.8%
(II) Percentage (Qualified but failed)
= 9,700 x 100%
32,000
= 30.3%
(III) Percentage (Qualified and passed)
= 300 x 100%
32,000
= 0.9%
The above results show that the percentage of the qualified men who also passed the test is too low “less than 1% of the total men invited for the war! This is too bad so it is of the truth that “many are called but few are chosen”. Only eight people make it during Noah’s days and just three in Lot’s time!
This strictly also confirmed the wordens spoken by God to His sent man of this ministry called “World Flaming Gospel Crusaders”, apostle Elijah Adegunle as he audibly heared the voice of God ordering him to resign his secular working appointment, taking up his cross and following God in spreading the Gospel for “scarcely could God found 2 % of the whole world population in Christ where He would love to find them”! This is the pillar and foundation of this ministry. My question to us, my beloved reader, is that “Are we truly in Christ?”
Another fact is that God does not make use of people who are afraid of taking risk and have fear for enemies. My friend, let’s be among the few ones who prays for the church/body of Christ and His ministers, the few ones who preach the gospel truth to the sinners, who encourages others, the few ones who gives to the poor and support nothing but the whole truth.
We may not be popular and large in number but God recognizes the less than one percent. Since the 300 men won the war, we are definitly going to win no matter how few in number we are. Just be on God´s side by really being in Christ and not only claiming being a church registered members.

Message: Key to revival
In John 11, we read about when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and in verse 39 we read:
"Take away the stone," he said. "But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."
Almost a week before this event the sisters Martha and Mary had sent for Jesus because Lazarus was sick. They wanted Jesus to come to heal him. And in John 11:6 we read:
“Yet when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days”.
Jesus waited for two days before he headed off for Bethany. It was two days of waiting for Martha and Mary, a waiting with hope that Jesus would come, and despair over the situation with Lazarus and his disease. One moment expectation and hope and the next moment despair. Then Lazarus dies. Hope was gone, Jesus never came! And when He finally came it was too late.
Many times we also think Jesus is late or too late.
Martha and Mary waited so long that they had even buried Lazarus. "But, Lord, by this time there is a bad odour, for he has been there four days" were Martha’s response to Jesus saying that they should remove the stone. Martha doubts Jesus in that moment. Doubts, can He really do anything about the situation as it looks? That is why she also hesitates to follow His commandment to remove the stone. At times we also think Jesus is too late and doubt and hesitate to remove the stone that is hindering us. The stone of unbelief.
If I search myself there are many opportunities when I have not been obedient to God’s word or His challenges. But, we must not be afraid to go and to do what God calls us to do.
In many churches we pray for revival in our land and in the world. And I believe that in the Christianity of today we lack the obedience. Obedience to the God’s Word and His will and that is also a mayor reason why we have not experienced the revival.
The Bible tells us to fear God, and to fear God, it means to take Him serous. God does not work alone. Everything God does, He does it together with us. It is the act of obedience that is the act of faith, not what mind-processes we might have – like Martha who hesitated to remove the stone with the explanation that he already stinks.
We read in Prov. 3:5:
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding”.
God has given us the mind for us to use it. And we will use it to fully trust in the Lord and not in ourselves.
Jesus said: “Take away the stone.” And when the stone was removed from the opening of the grave the miracle happened. Then He cried out with a loud voice: Lazarus, come out!
There is a necessity of an act of faith for miracle to happen. If they hadn’t removed the stone, Jesus wouldn’t have cried out for Lazarus to come out of the grave.
In John11:45 we read that many of the Jews who had come out to Mary and seen what Jesus did believed in Him. Revival sprung out among those who had been present when Lazarus was risen from the dead. Removing the stone - an act of faith – opens the way for salvation. It was not only Lazarus that got his life back. Many of the Jews who had seen it all believed. So the Jews also got their lives back, eternal life through salvation.
In John 4 we read about a man in royal service who had a son who was sick in Capernaum. He looked up Jesus and in John 4:50 we read:
“Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed.”
Later on in verse 53 we read:
“Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed”.
The man believed in Jesus and did as He had told him to do, and they came to salvation. Revival came to that family.
It is important to obey the Word of God and His spoken words. Many Christians today lack this obedience which God needs for a close collaboration between God and man. I believe that disobedience is a mayor reason why it is so sluggish for revival in our nation.
Our society changes, for good and bad. Different trends and lifestyles become popular in humanity and also Christians become affected by it in different ways, whether we like it or not, so we need to be extra careful of what we receive into our hearts. People today buy and sell stocks, play lottery and live in partnership. The list is long, but how much of this would the church have accepted 50 years ago? Society changes, but God is the same today as He was 50 years ago. Even if people changes lifestyle, play lottery or live in partnership. Even if people try to interpret the Bible so that it fits their lifestyles better, maybe partnership or homosexuality, God has still not changed His opinion in these issues and He never will.
We are being faced with important standpoints in our faith life against the society we are living in. Whether we like it or not, Christians become influenced by the trends of society, at least through the exhaustion method.
A month ago I saw an interview with priests and pastors in our municipality (Norrtälje), I think it was nine of them. More than half were pro homosexuality lifestyle and the rest were slightly unconcerned. But no one was against homosexual lifestyle. Was the statistic like these 20-30 years ago? I don’t think so. Christians become influenced by the trends of society, if we are not watchful.
Sometimes we face what looks like insurmountable obstacles, like the stone in front of the grave outside Bethany. As long as Martha hesitates to remove the stone, that long she also hinders the miracle from happening.
There are situations in our lives, where it depends on out will to obey the Word of God, for Jesus to do what He has promised. It is easy for us humans to procrastinate signs and wonders to the future. It is easier to believe for signs and wonders in other countries and continents than in our closest areas. We find it easier to believe for signs and wonders in the future than now, immediately.
We need to remove the stones of unbelief in our lives to be able to see the will of God and His promises being fulfilled here and now, more than we do. God will, if we will. Gad wants to cooperate with us, but we need to be willing to do our part of the bargain. We need to do what we can do. God will only do what we can not do.
We need to remove the stones from the graves so Jesus can cry out to the dead. Then we will lose them from the bondages.
God cooperates with us, if we are willing to obey and be keen on listening to His will.

Message: Women of Excellence
The Bible is not a book that is supposed to be a dust collector in our book shelf. It should be read often because in it we can find the true meaning of life and a help to live life. (Proverbs 4:20-27). It is a living word which means that although it was written some thousand years ago it is still applicable for our lives today, in the 21st century. A living word is also a word that gives life and that has breath. In John 6:63 Jesus says that the words he speaks are spirit and life. Life is not static but is constantly undergoing changes. The cells are being reformed, renewed, and transformed. That happens to us too as we continually read the Word of God. Since it is alive, we will be transformed and renewed all the time.
Rom 12:2 encourage us to let ourselves be renewed through the way we think. People of this world (= who has not receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour) easily jump into negative conclusions, easily (maybe unconsciously) following the famous Jantelagen where you think less of yourself and have no self-esteem. They follow the lust of the eyes, i.e. follow the feeling for the moment, take rash decisions, easily let go of their moral principles as soon as something more appealing shows up. It is described in 1 John 2:15-17.
If the Bible will be of help to us to live a life according to the will of God and not according to the world, then we need to get to know it. To get to know the people described in it. Their daily life experiences and situations are written down for us to gain knowledge from it, both from their mistakes and from their successes. The law, prophesies, psalms, proverbs, advises, commandments, all kinds of events etc are a precious treasure to us from God. A living Word that has a great impact in our lives.
In Proverbs 31:10-31 the Bible speaks about an extraordinary woman, a woman of excellence. She should be a role model for life for us women! I believe God has given us this name for our meetings because He wants us to know who we are before Him, what capacity we have because of having Jesus in our lives. (Phil 4:13) Everything is possible for the one who believes, Jesus says in Mark 9:23. Believe in what? In the weather report? The news papers? Mummy? No! Believing that everything Jesus says is true. So when He says we can do something we can do it, in Him and through Him. Everything He wants us to do we can do!
This woman in Proverbs has a great CV. The loving attitude she has towards her family, servants and friends can only come from an unselfish mind, to always consider others first. Read about this love in 1 Cor 13. This woman is not only a role model for married women but for every woman, for all ages. Let us read her story and see what we can learn from her life.
-
Her husband trusts her and he lacks nothing. She can keep secrets and does not gossip. She is fore-sighted and supports her husband.
-
She treats him very well, never does anything to harm him. She keeps her temper even if she feels she has been misunderstood. She has her husband’s best interest at sight even if it means that she has to put aside her own needs and wishes for his sake.
-
She has an eye for quality and is diligent. That takes a lot when one feels like relaxing and takes it easy, maybe on front of the TV.
-
She is a business woman, travels, and does merchandises.
-
She rises up very early, while it is still dark. It takes self-discipline to do that, if you’re not a morning person. She makes good use of the hours she has.
-
She supplies food for her household, her family, and everyone who works for her. Jesus says that man should not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. (Matt 4:4). So it is about spiritual food as well. We can provide our household, our children and employees word from God. As mothers we shall help our children to get to know God. (Proverbs 22:6). To be able to do that we ourselves need to have a close relationship with God because what you do not have you can not give. It can involve going up very early to be able to have a moment alone with Jesus.
-
She plans, plants, invests and profits.
-
She is physically strong, probably doing exercise.
-
She is watchful, doesn’t let her lamp go out in the night. We are to be watchful too, since our enemy the devil is not at all rejoicing over us but instead wants to do everything possible to steal, kill and destroy. (1 Peter 5:8, John 10:10).
-
She is a dressmaker and lithe with her hands.
-
House open to guests, cares for the needy, open her arms for the poor.
-
She makes sure her household has clothes. Scarlet is the same colour as blood red. As a woman living in the New Testament we are protected in the blood of Jesus.
-
When it comes to her appearance, when dresses without blame. She dresses beautifully but not provocative or seducing. Her clothing is also good deeds as you can read in 1 Tim 2:9.
-
There is a saying: “Behind a successful man is a woman”. Women can also be successful, as we have seen that this woman is in many ways. She also supports her husband in a manner that makes him successful too. To sit among the elders means that he has a high position in the society. Spiritually, we have a high position in Christ. Ef 2:6 speaks about this. Jesus has conquered Satan and has given us the power to bind and to loose. (Matt 16:18-19).
-
She produces fabrics and sells belts. In Ef 6:10-18 it speaks about another type of belt, the belt of Truth. We need to be watchful to always speak the truth.
-
She doesn’t loose control but is full of strength, patience, joy and wisdom and is happily sharing this with others. She uses her tongue to bring life, word of life to her household and to others around her.
-
The people closest to her appreciate her and blesses her. They know how she is in private and they can see the fruits of the Spirit in her (Gal5:22-23). She doesn’t pretend, having one God-fearing attitude/behaviour in church and different one at home.
-
She fears the Lord. It means that she doesn’t do everything because she loves and honours her God. She won’t do anything contrary to His will. She also has great respect for Him. He is Almighty God, Omniscience God and Omnipresent God. He is worthy to be feared.
-
She gets blessed in return for everything she has done.
In verse 29 it says that many women have done many wonderful things before her, but this woman superseedes them all. Remember all the women before her mentioned in the Bible; Eve, Sarah, Rebecca, Ruth, Ester, Hilda, Abigail, Deborah etc. It is truly great words of recommendation from God to her. We have an amazing role model in her, she almost appears perfect. We might feel that we can not really meet up to all this. Remember the words of Jesus to us, that we shall be perfect as our Father in heaven is perfect (Matt 5:48). That seems even more difficult! It means that it should be our aim and goal, and keep on working towards it. Like cutting a full-lead crystal, clean out sin from our lives and then stay away from sin, let the Word of God richly dwell in us. = Sanctification. To let the life of God through His word, the Bible, conform and transform us to be more like Him. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Life (three name of the same Spirit) shall help us with this. (1 Thess 5:23). We are to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. He is our first and foremost role model. (Hebr 12:2) He is the way the truth and the life!
