QUESTION AND ANSWERS FROM Global Communion Service! QUESTION 1: Dear Pst Chris, my question is about the scripture you mentioned in the month of November about the angel who came from heaven to strengthen Jesus in Luke 22:43 RESPONSE: Pastor started by explaining that its important to kneel and pray. He then went ahead. Answering the question who was the angel and how he strengthened Jesus, Pastor explained that this angel is the same angel that the bible told us moved the stone that covered the tomb. This angel is the one referred to in the bible as the angel of his presence. The manifestation of the Holy Spirit before he came to begin his peculiar ministry to lead the church. And how did he do it? How can we really tell how God does? His words alone strengthen us. QUESTION 2: Ruth from SA asked. According to 2 Cor 5:17, now that I have been born again, should I still celebrate my biological birthday or should I celebrate my new birthday in Christ. RESPONSE: The bible actually takes us beyond the dates. No date on earth has significance in heaven, including Christmas. So you dont need to bother about which is more important to God. You choose what you want to do for your life in order to give thanks to God. QUESTION3: How should christians know who to vote for in elections, since it does not matter who wins? RESPONSE It does matter who wins. On a more generic level: you need to understand the ideologies of the political parties on subjects that matter to you_ education, social justice, Economy and more_ and the candidates ideologies as well. It is important to be informed about these things ahead of time. QUESTION 4: Sophie from Kyrgistan, from the rhapsody, you said that all creation has intelligence, please enlighten me. RESPONSE Pastor explained that all things have a sound wave embedded in them. To us they are non living, but this is not so to us. They have intelligence because they can hear God. He told Moses to talk to the rock. Jesus spoke to the wind, he spoke to the corpse. So, when it comes to God, all things have intelligence. QUESTION Raymond from the US says the bible said we should forgive our enemies, so did God forgive satan. RESPONSE Pastor answered saying God did not because forgiveness is based on sacrifice. Someone taking responsibility for the wrong doing. The soul that sinneth shall die (spiritual death), even Jesus had to die. But Jesus didnt pay for the devil as he only gave his life for all men, so since no one did for satan, he has to bear his own. QUESTION: 6 Clara from Nigeria asked that in a situation where an ordained deacon, deaconess or pastor of a ministry moves to another ministry should they still retain the titles. RESPONSE Pastor answered that For a decon, deaconess or Pastor to quit one ministry for another is irresponsible. If a deacon or pastor is going from one ministry to another, it is done in a spiritually orderly way whereby the leaders of the current ministry hand over such a one to the other ministry. Remember that people are not ordained, because the have become mature. An ordinations is carried our because a person has a calling on their life, but that calling does not mean the person would fulfill it; called people could act foolishly or irresponsibly They may go with their titles, but the tile without the spirit is nothing. Peolple may respect you with your title, but what about the spirit? Even though you are a deacon or pastor, it will soon become evident that you are not, becus the works do not follow you. QUESTION 7 Is There a difference between foretelling in prophecy, the word of knowledge and the word of wisdom? RESPONSE: Foretelling is telling the future. The word of knowledge has to do with insight into events or even things in eternity. The word of wisdom is an insight into the purposes of God that brings u guidance.
