“THE UPSIDE DOWN KINGDOM!!”

LORD! I WANT YOU TO BE GREAT IN ME, BUT HOW?

John 12:24-26.

John 12:24-26

• 24 Very truly (Amen, Amen) I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26

Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honorthe one who serves me.

• God’s Word Translation: I can guarantee this truth

HEAD DOWN LIFE; UPSIDE DOWN LIFE

A MAIZE SEED IS USELESS UNLESS PLANTED

IMPLICATIONS OF UPSIDE DOWN LIFE!

To be rich is to be poor first

To lead is to be last first

To be a master or manager is to be a servant first

To win is to lose first

To live is to die first

A BURIED SEED IS THE BEST SEED

UNBURIED SEED is a USELESS SEED

We are no use unless we are buried

CAUTION BY E. G. WHITE

“Many who are without spiritual life have their names on the church records, but they are NOTwritten in the Lamb’s book of life. They may be joined to the church, but they are not united to the Lord. They may be DELIGENT in the performance of a certain set of duties in the church and may be regarded as living men; but are many among of those who have a name that thou livest and art DEAD.”

SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, p. 1165-1166.

HOW TO BE GREAT!

“A healthy Christian is the one who has Christ formed within, and hope of glory. He loves Truth and holiness and manifest spiritual vitality, having the love for the Word of God, and seeking communion with those who love God. On our knees pleading with God, we will expereince miracles in our lives,”

Review & Herald, Dec. 11, 1894.

CHRIST IS COMING FOR HOLY PEOPLE.ARE YOU ONE OF THEM?

GHADAFI’S THREE CHOICES!

• 1: I WILL DIE IN LYBIA!

• 2: I WILL DIE IN LYBIA!

• 3: I WILL DIE IN LYBIA!

WITH CHRIST WITHIN:

• You can’t help but to help others

• You can’t help but to love others

• You can’t help but to pray for others

• You can’t help but to forgive others

• You can’t help but to let go

• You can’t help but to be kind to one another

• This is the upside down kingdom.

• Read Matthew 25:33-40 when we shall all be judged. Vs. 40 emphasized: Read Ezek. 33:31-32. ***

PAIN IN GOD’S HEART: Ezek 33:31-32

• “My people come to you (Andrews), as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do NOT put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion, but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain.” NIV

• “And they come to thee as the people come, and they sit before thee as My people, and they hear thy words, but they will NOT do them: for with their mouth they show much love, but their hearts go after their covetousness.” Webster Bible Translation. God wants to give us a gift: HS

MY SLOGAN FROM NOW ON IS:

• TO GIVE IS TO LIVE!

• TO DIE IS TO LIVE

• TO SACRIFICE IS TO LIVE!

• What is yours?

MY AGREEMENT WITH SATAN STANDS

• The agreement between me and Satan is that:

• Satan is a creature therefore not as powerful as my Creator. Therefore I don’t give him credit of power

• Satan is corrupt. I cannot trust him, nor serve him

• Satan is condemned. I am not, and he is very angry

• He does not like me

• And I do not like him either, in the Name of Jesus

• What is your agreement with him?• Prove it at the altar today! Please come and prove it now!• By Dr. Andrews Ewoo, Amsterdam, March 12, 2011
