• SERMON: GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH HIS SON NOW IN THIS LAST AGE - TO ALL FLESH

    Text: Hebrews 1:1-2, Acts 2:17

    Hebrews 1:1-2 — “Long ago God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son.”
    Acts 2:17 — “In the last days... I will pour out my Spirit on ALL FLESH... your young men shall see visions.”

    Brothers and sisters, the last days began on Pentecost Day. Acts 2:1-4
    Pentecost came 1-4 years BEFORE Paul's conversion. So Paul's vision in Acts 9 was already a last-days vision. That proves God still gives visions today.

    We are now in that same last age, and God is still speaking through His Son in two ways:

    1. Through Visions - Red 7, Green 7, Skeleton
    God showed His servant Kasule Reagan visions - Red 7 in the sky, Green 7 on the wall, Skeleton visions that vanished. The message: Time is complete, choose Life or Death. Matt 25:46

    2. Through Personal Appearance of the Son - Sheikh Uthman Wambuzi

    THE PROOF TO UNBELIEVERS:

    This is a true story from our own nation, Uganda.

    Sheikh Wambuzi Maka Uthman, 39 years, a former Islamic teacher from Mayuge District, Eastern Uganda.

    Date: August 1, 2025, after Friday prayers. He stayed to rest in a corner of the mosque and fell asleep.

    He saw a figure dressed in white, long clothing, surrounded by four angels. The figure called his name three times: “Uthman, Uthman, Uthman.”

    Overwhelmed with fear, Uthman knelt down and worshipped Him. The figure instructed him: “Go to your people and tell them to repent and turn to the living God.”

    Leaving the mosque around 5 p.m., he met a church pastor and shared the message of repentance. Through the pastor's guidance, Uthman understood the figure was Jesus (Isa) calling him and others to faith.

    When he obeyed, from August 4, 2025, persecution came. His relatives viewed it as betrayal. They beat him severely, demolished his home, and took his wife and six children. He narrowly escaped through a thick bush to a Christian neighbor, who rushed him to a hospital in Mayuge town. [Source: christiandaily.com]

    Why would a respected Sheikh lose everything for a lie? He saw the son. Mark 9:3, Luke 9:29, matt28:3

    This is Acts 26:16-18 happening again:
    “I have appeared to you to appoint you as servant and witness... to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God.”

    3. TO ALL FLESH - REGARDLESS OF TRIBE, NATION, LANGUAGE, CULTURE, RELIGION

    This is the key. Acts 2:17 says ALL FLESH.

    Acts 10:34-35 — God shows no partiality, in every nation.
    Revelation 5:9 — Jesus ransomed people from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
    Revelation 7:9 — A multitude no one can number, from all nations.

    God poured His Spirit on a Christian youth in Kampala with visions, and on a Muslim Sheikh in a mosque in Mayuge with a personal appearance. Same Spirit. Same Jesus. Same message.

    THE MESSAGE FOR THIS LAST AGE:

    God is alarming us: Spiritual awakening, renewal, revival, repentance, and obedience.

    John 8:12 — Jesus says “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
    John 3:16 — Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
    Matt 25:46 — The choice is eternal life or eternal punishment.
    Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Without hearing what God is showing now, people will perish in sin/darkness.

    2 Peter 3:9 — “The Lord is not slow... but is patient, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

    FINAL CALL: BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

    Hebrews 3:15 — “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
    Habakkuk 2:3 — The vision awaits its appointed time, it will surely come.

    Sheikh Uthman heard his name called. You are hearing your name called today.

    God is speaking through His Son NOW to all nations. Will you embrace His will through faith in Christ and be saved?

    If you refuse, you will perish in sin.

    Prayer:
    Lord Jesus, Son of God who came to destroy the works of the devil 1 John 3:8, open our eyes. We repent.

  • Daily Devotion — August 20 | Acts 19:26 (NKJV)

    Worship the One True God

    Acts 19 records the growing impact of the gospel in Ephesus. As many people believed in Jesus Christ, they turned away from idol worship. This change threatened those whose livelihood depended on making idols, leading to strong opposition against Paul and the message he preached.

    Paul faithfully declared that man-made idols could never replace the living God. His message called people to abandon false objects of worship and place their faith in the Creator rather than created things. The gospel challenged not only beliefs but also the priorities and lifestyles of those who heard it.

    For believers today, idols may not always be carved images, but anything that takes God's rightful place in our hearts can become an idol. Success, possessions, relationships, or personal ambitions can easily compete for our devotion. God alone deserves our highest worship, trust, and obedience.

    Reflection Questions

    1. Is there anything competing with God for first place in my heart?

    2. What changes is God calling me to make in my worship and priorities?

    3. How can I demonstrate wholehearted devotion to Christ each day?

    Prayer

    Lord God, You alone are worthy of all worship and praise. Search my heart and reveal anything that has taken Your rightful place. Help me to love You above all else and to live each day in faithful devotion to You. In Jesus name Amen.

    Practical Application

    ● Examine your priorities and place God first in every area.

    ● Remove anything that distracts you from wholehearted devotion to Christ.

    ● Worship God daily with gratitude, obedience, and trust.

    Takeaway Thought

    True joy is found when God alone has first place in our hearts.

  • The best way for a Pastor or prophet to demonstrate genuine repentance is not only to confess publicly, but also to make things right with the people who were affected.

    If you collected money, property, or other valuables from people through false or fake prophecies, call those people back. Tell them the truth. Acknowledge that what you told them was wrong, and where appropriate, return what you collected from them.

    If you publicly deceived people through your ministry, have the courage to publicly acknowledge the truth and take responsibility for your actions.

    You cannot spend years deceiving people in the name of God and then simply begin condemning others without first addressing the damage you caused yourself.

    True repentance involves confession, accountability, restitution, and a genuine change of life.

    If you truly have repented, don't be afraid to say:

    “What I did was wrong. What I said was false. I deceived people, and I am sorry. I am willing to make things right and return what I wrongfully received.”

    That kind of humility may be painful, but it demonstrates that repentance is genuine.

    Repentance is not merely changing your message; it is also taking responsibility for the harm caused by your previous actions.

    May God give every minister the humility and courage to make things right.

    Thank you.

  • LOST IN THE CHURCH:

    [GETTING LOST IN CHURCH]

    Part Seven

    Worshipping the Word of God/Scripture.

    The Word of God, together with the Church, are among the things given to us for the purpose of salvation, to bring people to God, although they themselves are not God. Therefore, I can say that the Word of God is like a signpost pointing us to where Christ is.

    When a person ends up building his life upon the Word of God without going to Jesus Christ, this becomes the foundation of one of the greatest deceptions of religious spirits and idolatry in the Church.

    If you read John chapter five, you will see how the Lord spoke to those who had fallen into this kind of deception:

    > “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” John 5:39–40



    Today, many people have ended up in religious institutions, while others have ended up in Scripture, yet they have never truly come to Jesus to receive life.

    Jesus did not come to establish any religion or bring a system of laws to the world; rather, He came to restore the RELATIONSHIP between humanity and God—the relationship that was lost in Eden. It is within this relationship that salvation and eternal life are found.

    > “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3



    A person can know all the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, and may even teach them with great skill and accuracy, yet never have encountered or truly known the Lord.

    It may be easy for someone to explain things about the Lord based on what they have heard from other people. However, it is completely different to know the Lord personally.

    Jesus is the Way and the Life. There is no way for anyone to come to the Father except through Him. And when He says that He is the Way, many people picture a dusty road, a gravel road, or a paved road. But the Way He is talking about here is a Person.

    To know the way to heaven is to know a Person. And you cannot truly know Him without having a relationship with Him.

    > “Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Matthew 7:23



    It is entirely possible for someone to preach, teach the Word of God, cast out demons, and perform many works of the Kingdom, yet still not know the Lord—and likewise, not be known in Heaven.

    It is easy for a person to build a name for himself and become famous on earth, but it is very different to be known in Heaven.

    Many of the things we glorify on earth are often considered worthless before God. Therefore, it is possible for someone to be well-known in Heaven while having no name or recognition on earth.

    Glorifying the Word More Than the One Who Gave the Word

    There has been a very strange tendency among people to glorify the Word of God more than God Himself, who gave the Word.

    In this way, many people hold on to what God said yesterday against what He is saying today.

    For example, it is possible for God to say “Yes” yesterday concerning a particular matter and say “No” today, according to His will and timing.

    If we have not learned how to walk with the Lord, it is very easy to cling to a dead word, which undoubtedly becomes an idol. In this way, we have many churches today that have died because they continue holding on to a dead word.

    The Apostle Peter is one of the examples in Scripture of someone who almost made such a painful mistake. He resisted the Lord’s command concerning the animals, relying on the earlier word from the same God who had declared those animals unclean.

    However, by His great mercy, the Lord corrected Peter and told him:

    > “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” Acts 10:15

  • Did you know?
    If Jesus really broke the Sabbath, then the charge against Him was not small—it was deadly serious.

    Under God’s law, deliberate Sabbath-breaking was a capital offence (Exodus 31:14–15). So when people say Jesus broke the Sabbath, they are not just saying He disagreed with Jewish tradition. They are saying He violated the law of God, was guilty of sin, and therefore deserved death.

    But that cannot be true.

    Jesus was “without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). He did not break the Sabbath. He broke the man-made traditions that had been added around it. That is why Jesus said, “It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath” (Matthew 12:12). His defence was not that the Sabbath no longer mattered, but that His actions were fully in harmony with God’s law.

    The real conflict was never between Jesus and the Sabbath. It was between Jesus and false religion.

    Jesus did not break God’s Sabbath. He honoured it, defended it, and showed us how to keep it.

  • Let's talk about it.
    SINCERITY IS NOT ENOUGH

    Sincerity is important, but sincerity alone is not enough. A person can be completely sincere and still be sincerely wrong. What matters is not merely how strongly we believe something, but whether what we believe agrees with the Word and Law of God.

    Jesus said, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15.

    God does not measure obedience by our intentions alone. He calls us to bring our lives into harmony with His truth. Paul said, “For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” — Romans 2:13.

    Consider Saul before his conversion. He was sincere. He believed he was serving God, yet he was persecuting the followers of Christ. His sincerity did not make his actions right. He needed the truth, repentance, and a changed life.

    The same danger exists today. Many people say, “I love Jesus,” “God knows my heart,” or “I am sincere in my faith.” But Jesus asked:

    “And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” — Luke 6:46.

    Grace does not give us permission to live in disobedience. Faith does not cancel God's Law. True faith produces obedience.

    “By the law is the knowledge of sin.” — Romans 3:20.

    And Scripture declares:

    “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” — Revelation 14:12.

    The question is therefore not simply, “Am I sincere?”

    The deeper question is:

    “Am I sincerely following the truth God has revealed?”

    Let us not use sincerity as a substitute for obedience. Let us study God's Word, accept His truth, repent where we have been wrong, and by His grace walk in obedience to His commandments.

    Sincerity may explain your intention, but obedience demonstrates your submission to God.

    Choose truth. Choose obedience. Choose Christ.

    Amazing Love

    The temptation of Jesus was not merely a story about three conversations in the wilderness. It was a powerful revelation of how Satan attacks, how Christ responds, and how victory over temptation is possible.

    After Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness, where He fasted for forty days and nights. Then Satan came to tempt Him.

    «“Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.” — Matthew 4:1»

    Notice something important: Jesus was not tempted because He had sinned. He was tempted because He was righteous.

    THE FIRST TEMPTATION — “COMMAND THAT THESE STONES BE MADE BREAD”

    Jesus was hungry. Satan attacked Him at His weakest physical moment.

    «“If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.” — Matthew 4:3»

    Satan was essentially saying, “Use your power to satisfy yourself. Put your physical desire before obedience to God.”

    But Jesus answered:

    «“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” — Matthew 4:4»

    The lesson is simple:
    Your greatest need is not always the thing your flesh is demanding.

    Food is important, but obedience to God is more important.

    Jesus did not allow hunger to become an excuse for disobedience.

    THE SECOND TEMPTATION — “CAST THYSELF DOWN”

    Satan then took Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple and quoted Scripture.

    «“If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down.” — Matthew 4:6»

    Notice carefully: Satan quoted Scripture!

    This teaches us something extremely important:

    Not everyone who quotes the Bible is teaching the truth.

    The devil quoted Psalm 91, but he twisted its meaning to encourage Jesus to test God.

    Jesus answered:

    «“Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” — Matthew 4:7»

    The lesson:
    Knowing Scripture is not enough. We must understand Scripture correctly and submit to its true meaning.

    The devil can use Bible words while promoting a message that contradicts God's will.

    THE THIRD TEMPTATION — WORSHIP ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE KINGDOMS

    Satan showed Jesus the kingdoms of the world and offered them to Him.

    «“All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.” — Matthew 4:9»

    What was Satan asking for?

    Worship.

    Jesus answered with absolute firmness:

    «“Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” — Matthew 4:10»

    Jesus would receive the kingdom—but not by compromising His loyalty to God.

    The lesson:
    Never exchange obedience to God for temporary success, popularity, money, power, pleasure, or worldly recognition.

    There are things Satan may offer that look attractive, but anything that requires disobedience to God is too expensive.

    JESUS WON WITH “IT IS WRITTEN”

    Look at Christ's weapon throughout the temptation:

    “It is written.”

    He did not answer Satan with human philosophy.

    He did not argue from emotion.

    He did not negotiate.

    He stood upon the Word of God.

    This is why Scripture says:

    «“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” — Psalm 119:11»

    If the Word of God is not in your heart, what will you stand upon when temptation comes?

    JESUS SUCCEEDED WHERE ADAM FAILED

    There is a beautiful contrast here.

    Adam was tempted in a perfect garden, surrounded by abundance—and he fell.

    Jesus was tempted in a barren wilderness, weakened by forty days of fasting—and He remained faithful.

    Adam listened to the serpent.

    Jesus answered the serpent with God's Word.

    Adam disobeyed God.

    Jesus obeyed God.

    Where Adam failed, Christ stood victorious.

    And Hebrews gives us this encouragement:

    «“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” — Hebrews 4:15»

    Jesus understands temptation—not because He surrendered to it, but because He faced it and overcame it without sin.

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR US?

    Temptation itself is not sin.

    Giving in to temptation is sin.

    When temptation comes, remember:

    When your flesh says, “Satisfy yourself,” remember: “Man shall not live by bread alone.”

    When Satan twists Scripture, remember: “It is written.”

    When the world offers you success in exchange for compromise, remember: “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God.”

    And when you feel weak, remember:

    «“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” — Philippians 4:13»

    The Christian life is not about pretending temptation does not exist.

    It is about learning to stand when temptation comes.

    Jesus did not overcome temptation by compromising with Satan.

    He overcame by trusting His Father, standing upon Scripture, and refusing to disobey.

    THE FINAL LESSON

    Satan can tempt you, but he cannot force you to sin.

    The choice remains before you.

    When temptation comes, don't negotiate with it.

    Don't entertain it.

    Don't twist Scripture to justify it.

    Stand on the Word. Trust God. Choose obedience.

    Because the same Christ who overcame in the wilderness is able to strengthen those who follow Him today.

    «“Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” — James 4:7»

    Jesus overcame.
    Jesus is our example.
    Jesus is our strength.
    And through Him, victory is possible.
