11.08.2021 – Message

Joh 18:20-21  Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret.   Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard me what I said to them; they know what I said.” 

A true soldier of Jesus Christ  is standing in public, exposed to everything.

Jesus’  teachings were exposed to criticism by Pharisees and Sadducees, even by Roman authorities.  Jesus left  it for public  assessment. 

Jesus Christ’s disciples were also exposed to attacks . One of them, Judas was hijacked by the Chief Priests to betray Jesus.

Another one (Peter) was trapped by a lady in the house of the Chief Priest to deny Him.

Jesus did not had any security measures to protect them whereas the Jewish priests had security, guards etc.  

Mat 27:65  Pilate said to them, “You have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can.” 

Nobody can give any protection to a  Christian, from being attacked.  Each one should equip himself  by the power of anointing by the Holy Spirit. 

All we can do for each other is  exhorting each other like  Paul did. 

Eph 6:10-13  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.   Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.  

Jesus taught the disciples,  prayed for them,  warned them about the leaven of Pharisees. But the disciples were not able to understand what Jesus told them and warned them about. 

The Building  Churches  give a false security and protection to the believers.  In order to attract believers, some build  huge edifices and provide comfortable seating facilities to the  believers. Some others attract believers by showing  their facilities of funeral services and beautiful well protected cemeteries.  Still some provide  panoramic stages  for shooting wedding functions. 

Dear Soldiers, let’s meditate on the last few hours of Jesus. 

What faced  at the end.

Mat 27:45-50  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, “This man is calling Elijah.”

And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.”And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

Let’s visualize this scene and bring it in front of our eyes. Jesus was rejected by everybody, rejected even by His Father,

“He cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.”

What kind of a death Jesus had! Can anybody desire to have such a death?

Paul said,

Php 3:7-11  But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 

Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. ………………

 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,  that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. 

“Becoming like him in his death,  so that by any means attain resurrection!

Attaining resurrection  was his only aim!

How many of us can desire this kind of death which Jesus Christ suffered!

What are our values?

Where do I stand? Let us examine dear soldiers! 

 How big a gap do I  have in following Jesus.  Let’s come closer  to Him!

Amo 3:3  Can two walk together unless they are agreed?

Message – 4.08.2021

Mar 4:24  And he said to them, “Pay attention to what you hear: with the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and still more will be added to you. 

Jesus gives an exhortation here on three things.

1. Pay attention to what you hear
2. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3. And still more will be added to you.

1.Pay attention to what you hear

The way you hear and give to others is important.

For eg . Suppose you want to share this message with someone. You can do it in various ways.

You can  take any one point of this message, and elaborate on this, you can just recollect whatever you have heard from your memory.

If you want to take a little more, You have to refer your scribbling pad, take some note sand share. 

But if you want to pass on the full message, you will have to use the ppt or word document and get it translated into your own language or pass on as it is to those who understand English.

Dear soldiers, we have a duty to pass on to others what all you hear  immediately after you receive it.

What are you receiving everyday?

1. The Word of God (through Morning Worship, Troop Churches, Meditation of the Word etc.
2. Anointing of the Holy Spirit- through BFF, Gift Schools, Night Prayer, Daily Prayer etc.
3. Opportunities or platforms to utilize your talents . (Talent of worshipping, teaching, healing, Deliverance, cooking, comforting, drawing, computer work, journalism, singing, public speaking etc.

 Whatever you hear have to be handed over to others immediately. As you keep it with you for one day (24 hours) the  anointing in it (the sharpness, the accuracy, the precision  and power of the Word )will decrease or may disappear completely.  If  the delay is more than 24 hours, still the anointing will be reduced.  As the delay is more, the ratio  depreciation also will be more. 

• With the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

The soldiers of the Army of Jesus are called to give freely whatever they receive.  In giving to others,  the measurement you use will be used for you.  

Mat 7:2  For………….    ………, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 

I have experienced it in my life. 

We do not have anything to give to others  except what we receive from the Lord. 

Whenever I receive a new revelation or interpretation of the Word of God,  I am very particular that it is passed on to others, i.e. AOJ Soldiers as early as possible . In the same way, there are a good no of soldiers in AOJ who are willing to distribute  to others whatever they receive from the Lord. They volunteer  to become teachers, to start Troop Churches, to organizers of gift Schools etc. But I notice such zeal IS MISSING IN SOME OF THE SOLDIERS.  

In this  the  institutional Churches went wrong.  Whatever  Pastors or leaders received from the Lord (Gifts of healing, Deliverance etc) was kept for themselves and their children.  The children who were not called for their ministry started misusing  them  or not using them at all. Result?  Everything that were given for distribution among the believers went wasted.   They left believers as   wanderers, never growing in the spiritual gifts  because they were not nourished properly.  

Luk 6:38  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” 

Dear soldiers,

AOJ provides ample opportunities for you to grow. 

To grow in leadership quality

To conduct Troop Churches

To conduct worship

To give messages

To pray for each other and minister to each other

To cast out demons

To heal sicknesses

To  receive  prophetic  revelations from heaven etc. 

• And still more will be added to you

Deu 15:10  You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him, because for this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake. 

When you come forward to give the anointing or the Word of the Lord freely to others, there comes the reward for it,

The LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake

There are many soldiers in AOJ who have received such  rewards. 

“pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap”. According to the ratio you give to others without any limit or border, the Lord will reward you.

Dear soldiers,

You are given responsibility of a State!

When you pray minister to others, by getting  a  message, a  vision or a  revelation  from the Lord. So that the Lord will  bless you with more prophetic gifts. 

Exercise your gift of healing so that the Lord will expand your territories of healing.

Activate your gift of Deliverance so that you go on setting the captives free!

God bless you!

Handing over – 09.06.2021

Let’s thank God for recruiting us into His Army.

Today the Lord wants to remind us about the duty of  a soldier.

Duties of Individual Soldiers

1. Daily prayer for 2.30 hours( Time for securing protection as well as for receiving commands from the Lord)

2. Attending or Conducting weekly Troop Church 

3. Proclaim the Gospel daily to at least two persons directly or through mail, phone. (Introducing Jesus to two new persons or motivating 2 believers/Christians with the manna verse for the day.)

4. Start a new troop in 2 months.

5. Trans India  programme

1. Daily Prayer for 2.30 hours 

The first duty of  an AOJ soldier is giving the Lord the tithe of their time. The Lord  grant  us every day 24   hours of time.  Tithe of  24 hours is 21/2 hours. Each soldier,  according to their  availability of time,  can include or exclude family prayer, Morning worship in it. Those who can exclude the above from their personal prayer of 24 hours will establish a close walk with God to the extent that they will  hear the voice of God regularly,  will be able to discern God’s will in small or great matters. They will be able to guide others also in the Lord. 

2. Attending or Conducting weekly Troop Church 

It is mandatory that all soldiers should attend Troop Church once a week. After attending Troop Church for 2 months, a soldier will be equipped to start a new Troop Church normally. If they are not, it is abnormal and the reason should be sorted out in a very delicate way by the Troop Leader. 

The following can be the reasons.

Bondage with the traditional Churches

Lack of freedom 

Inability to take decision

Yet to get deliverance  or healing from past hurts etc. 

The Leader of the Troop should take it as a sensitive issue because this soul is still under bondage. The vessel is not empty or cleansed and hence Jn 4:14 spring of water could not flow out of them. For one more month the leader has to work with this soul. This should be exceptional case. Normally  the Soldiers should start searching for  their new  troop members from  4^th week onwards.

3. Proclaim the Gospel daily to at least two persons directly or through mail, phone. (Introducing Jesus to two new persons or motivating 2 believers/Christians with the manna verse for the day.)

On 6^th June,  the Lord spoke to me on this and made me examine whether I go by this.  I felt a kind of urge of proclaiming it in the air so that it will reach all the soldiers. Same day during our prayer at night, through Sr. Leema Rose the Lord spoke the same thing also. She insisted on conveying this to the AOJ soldiers. Next day 7^th, I shared this in my morning message this. 

Dear Soldiers this is based on the Great Commission 

“Mat 28:19-20  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” 

This command of the Great Commission is the first and foremost duty of an AOJ soldier. Every soldier should share Gospel with 2 persons a day. It can be their own family members, friends, relatives, close associates, believers, unbelievers anybody.  2 is minimum. It should be more as they grow in the Lord. It is not simply ‘copy paste’ a verse of the Bible and sending it.

An AOJ soldier should target at 2 souls.  You can take “The  Rhema word” for them from the Bible and give to them. 

Soldiers should always have  “2 target persons” like this. They should  pray for them every day. They are the “target persons”  for their new troop. Praying for them every day will open a door to come in contact with them (if they are not yet). They will become  members for your troop Church . Once they start attending your Troop Church,  you can take another 2 members. 

Through this you are satiating the thirst of Jesus on the cross and fulfilling the demands of Great Commission. Those who do not do this on a daily basis are not worthy to be called a soldier of AOJ. Let us go on insisting this in all your meetings of AOJ.

How to find the” target souls”?

 Start from your enemies list. Go on forgiving and releasing blessings on  them and on their families. Pray  for them, thank God for all the pain, troubles you experienced through them,  the humiliations, insults, discriminations you suffered through them.  These are the signs that  the Lord has given them as your  “targetted  souls” .  You will get wonderful doors opened through them.  

4. Start a new troop in 2 months.

If  a soldier is regular in the 3^rd  duty,  the 4th will automatically follow. Many will be standing in queue  to join your  new Troop Church. The Lord will send the right persons to your  Troop. All believers or all Christians are not meant for AOJ.  Recruitment to the Army will be done by  Jesus Christ, the Commander of the Army.  We should be careful not to attract or admit any soldier not recruited and selected by our . If the right soldiers are admitted into the troop, they will bear fruit and bring glory to Father. 

5. Trans India  programme

In 2017, the Lord introduced TIP into AOJ. It is rendering free service of 2 hours  in a week to anyone who is in need. AOJ introduced Natural Farming, Teaching handworks to AOJ soldiers in this regard..

1Ti_6:18  They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,

Tit_2:7  Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, ………….

Tit_2:14  who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

There is an earnest search among the believers across the world after Covid 19 and its after effects., for the  real Church where a person can commune with God directly as well as with his fellow brethren. 

After trials and experiments, it was revealed to the Church in India as the   “Troop Church”. 

The Lord handed over to the Army of Jesus the Model of real Church. AOJ was experimenting with the “Troop Meeting ” for  20 years. Started in the year 1998 under the name “Troop Meeting”, until 2014, it had  18,783  independent first line Troop Meetings in the records.   The number  of second , third line number of Troop Meetings  not known. All trained but sent out. The experiment  with Troop Meetings  has been very successful. 

In 2014  the Lord asked AOJ to name the “Troop Meeting” into  “Troop Church”. 

The characteristics of a  Troop Church

1.  It has raised many leaders, pastors, prophets, counselors and all other fivefold  ministry workers for Gospel works

2.   It has no visible leader or strict visible structure 

3. It has no office, no full timer, no paid worker etc. 

4. No organizational (hierarchical) set up. 

6. No money collection or transaction. 

7. No election, board, Committee etc. 

8. Each Troop is Church independent in nature.

9.  Every Troop Church trains up believers in their spiritual gifts like worshipping, preaching, prophecy etc. 

10. Since the mother troop disperses after 2 months, there is no stagnation of ministry gifts, blessing, anointing etc.  

10. No pollution or corruption with money or power 

11. Each Troop multiplies into 2,3, even 10 fold after 2 months.

11. The two wings of Troop Church are  Decentralization and  Multiplication .

After getting multiplied, once in a while (after 2 or 3 months) the Mother Troop Church members and all its branches soldiers come together for a Fellowship to share their joy in the Lord.
