As an Apostle, my duty, as that of Any of the 5 Fold Ministers and frankly all CHRISTians is to make sure that we are saying what God says and not what we feel or rightly or wrongly believe. God’s Word is the Final Word in Each and Every Situation, No Exceptions. As CHRISTians we are to be Fully Submitted to Christ and through His Blood and The Transforming Power of the Holy Spirit, we are to Live Like Jesus Lived and Do What Jesus Did!
Here are some Keys Scriptures:
‘Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.’ 1 John 2:6 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1JN.2.6
‘So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man on the cross, then you will understand that I Am he I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me. ‘ John 8:28 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.8.28
So with those two scriptures at heart I will make the following critical statement;
Both Biblically and Scientifically there is No Such Thing as Racism! Now I realize, just making that statement might have agitated some of you and I am OK with that and you will see as you continue to read that your anger/rage will be replaced with Peace as I share the Truth with you in Love. You see in my making that statement I am not in any nullifying any aspect of prejudice, discrimination, unfounded hatred or physical/emotional/mental abuse that anyone would have experienced, those are all real but the term Race is not. Let me explain first and foremost from the Bible since God’s Word is the Only Word that is important!
According to the Truth recorded in the Book of Genesis, God Created Adam and Eve in HIS IMAGE and from them we have every single people group in existence today and even some people groups that are no more due to Noah’s Global Flood! This Clearly Means that We are All Of the Adamic Race, The ONLY Race. We Need to Speak God’s Words of Truth. He says there is Only One Race. We see Confirmation of this in the following Scripture;
‘The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit. What comes first is the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later. Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven. Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man.’
1 Corinthians 15:45-49 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1CO.15.45-49
So you see IF we are not all descendants of Adam and Eve, The Adamic Race, The ONLY race, then how can we be Redeemed by the Last Adam, Jesus? This is why I am saying that it is critical that we speak only what we God Says and not what the enemy has concocted to steal, kill and destroy after all, we must always remember…The Devil is a LIAR!
As well, Biblically speaking no people group on earth was ever or has ever been divided by skin color however we have formed people groups based on one thing only Language! Most do not recognize the significance of the event that occurred at the Tower of Babel approximately 4300years ago. Let’s look at the Truth Filled Account in Genesis 11;
‘At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words. As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there. They began saying to each other, “Let’s make bricks and harden them with fire.” (In this region bricks were used instead of stone, and tar was used for mortar.) Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will make us famous and keep us from being scattered all over the world.” But the Lord came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.” In that way, the Lord scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city. That is why the city was called Babel, because that is where the Lord confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.’
Genesis 11:1-9 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/GEN.11.1-9
Notice that, when the entire ancient world got up that morning, they all spoke the same language, whatever it was, but over the course of the day every single language that has ever been spoken in the last 4300years instantly came into being. Imagine as people, friends, and families that could once fellowship together based on their common language now could no longer even say one word that would be understood by those they previously associated with! That means that as scripture declares, the people groups formed based on who understood who NOT who looked like who! Let me repeat that so that it really sinks in and brings revelation and understanding! Scripture declares, the people groups formed based on who understood who NOT who looked like who!That is crucial to comprehend as it allows us to put things into proper perspective. You see my point in all of this is that Our Language is Also one of the Crucial Determining Factors of Whether we are Children of God or children of the Devil! Let’s look at the following scriptures;
‘My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins—and not only our sins but the sins of all the world. And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments. If someone claims, “I know God,” but doesn’t obey God’s commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth. But those who obey God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment—to love one another—is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining. If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is still living in darkness. Anyone who loves a fellow believer is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble. But anyone who hates a fellow believer is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness. I am writing to you who are God’s children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus. I am writing to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I am writing to you who are young in the faith because you have won your battle with the evil one. I have written to you who are God’s children because you know the Father. I have written to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong. God’s word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.’ 1 John 2:1-14 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1JN.2.1-14
‘So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God. This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous. So don’t be surprised, dear brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. If we love our brothers and sisters who are believers, it proves that we have passed from death to life. But a person who has no love is still dead. Anyone who hates another brother or sister is really a murderer at heart. And you know that murderers don’t have eternal life within them. We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God. ‘
1 John 3:10-19 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1JN.3.10-19
The Point that I am trying to make in all of this is as CHRISTians we have to speak our Kingdom Heavenly Language and no I am not talking about tongues, I am talking about Love. Love is the Language of Heaven and it is The Most Powerful and Effective Weapon regardless of the battle, regardless of any situation or circumstance. And like in the scriptures we just read above, God’s Word is devastatingly clear on How we are to Love One Another. Let’s Look at what the Bible Says about Love;
‘Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. ‘
Romans 12:9-10 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/ROM.12.9-10
‘If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.’ 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 https://my.bible.com/bible/116/1CO.13.1-13
God lays clearly lays out what Love is and how it is to be spoken. As we read through 1 Corinthians 13 in light of the scriptures that we read in 1 John 2 and 3 we come to the realization of how we are to Love our brothers and sisters in Christ. I know myself personally, I have a lot of work to do in this area! I have an older woman neighbor who is a believer and sadly complains about practically everything, I literally cringe when I see here coming. Every encounter I have with her I am continually reminded that if I can’t love her as a sister in Christ then I am the one with the issue, I have not fully submitted every part of my life fully to the Lordship of Jesus. That is why we Need Jesus! Afterall, Scripture Does Say that God is Love! Therefore we need to make Sure that Jesus is Permeating Every aspect of our beings so that regardless of the situation, circumstance we face, Love, Perfect Love, Jesus Himself is who is reflected in our speech and our actions! We must remember that we are CHRISTians First and Foremost! Mike Todd from Transformation Church actually expressed this in a concise way. He stated that Christianity must be the Adjective and not the Noun. What does that mean? It Means that the fact that we are CHRISTians First and Foremost means that since it is the Adjective it determines the outcome of what follows! I am a CHRISTian Man or Woman, I am a CHRISTian Business Owner, I am a CHRISTian Mechanic, I am a CHRISTian Doctor, I am a CHRISTian! Using CHRISTian as the Adjective determines the expression of what follows and sets the standard for how it is to be lived out! As Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we must realize that, Jesus Must be First in Every Area of our Lives, He Truly must be Lord and we must bring every area of our Lives and Character into Submission to His Lordship. As we do that, those around us will See Christ In Us and His Love for them through us!
In conclusion, to help us be able to apply truth and defuse and destroy the lies of the enemy, I have created a YouTube playlist called One Race, One Blood with multiple videos from Answers in Genesis, an excellent Christian Ministry that presents the truth from a Biblical perspective and as well the scientific perspective. If you only have time to watch one video, please watch the first one in the playlist as it covers practically everything;
I grew up in a multicultural (over 80 different people groups!) church whose motto above the stage at the front of the church was:
One Race One Gospel One Task
One Race, The Human RaceOne Gospel, The Gospel of Jesus ChristOne Task, To go and make disciples of all Nations
In the another church in which I served the motto was
Love Connect Serve
In The Amazing Church I am in Now, The Motto is;
Love Fearlessly Serve Faithfully Live Abundantly
Notice that it Love is the First and Key Action that defines the outcome and purpose of the others!
So I encourage you all today and everyday to let Love Transform You, Guide You, Heal You and Teach You!
Humbly and Respectfully sharing the Truth in Love,
AKGW
