THE REAL SHEEP CALLED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST : Controversial Topic 16


THE REAL SHEEP CALLED BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST :

Many claim that they are called by God through Jesus Christ, most of them are Religious Groups 
who believed in Christ as Lord and Savior, like, Christian Denomination, Christian Churches and Fellowships and other Religious Group claiming that they were called by Jesus to the service to praise Him and Worship the Lord our God.

If we will take all text in the New Testament Bible regarding the word, call, calling, called, many text will appear like these :

New Testament (295)

  1. Matthew (45)
  2. Mark (22)
  3. Luke (50)
  4. John (24)
  5. Acts (60)
  6. Romans (17)
  7. 1 Corinthians (16)
  8. 2 Corinthians (1)
  9. Galatians (4)
  10. Ephesians (4)
  11. Philippians (1)
  12. Colossians (2)
  13. 1 Thessalonians (3)
  14. 2 Thessalonians (3)
  15. 1 Timothy (2)
  16. 2 Timothy (3)
  17. Hebrews (14)
  18. James (3)
  19. 1 Peter (7)
  20. 2 Peter (2)
  21. 1 John (1)
  22. Jude (1)
  23. Revelation (10)

Appears in 295 Verses, only in the New Testament but, Note, if you will click either one of the book, link will appear and by clicking the link your page will be transferred to the book you chose to click.

Maybe this will take a day for a preacher to explain everything written in these verses.

Anyway let's go straight to the point regarding who are they which are really called by Jesus by these questions :

1. WHO ARE THOSE SHEEP ?
2. HOW JESUS WILL CALL HIS SHEEP THAT GONE STRAY ?
3. HOW MANY FLOCKS OR FOLD ARE THERE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS WILL CARRY AND BRING HIS LOST SHEEP ?

This could be enough to understand fully this questions to know where we are ? If we are really indeed called to bring in the right flock of the Lord as a sheep and not a goat :

The Lord used an animals to define who we are and what we are in His sight, He used it as an illustration to differentiate people in His presence, and these are The Sheep and The Goats :


Matthew 25: 32 King James Version (KJV)

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 
THE SHEEP ON HIS RIGHT HAND TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD :
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
THE GOATS ON HIS LEFT HAND DOOMED TO HELL :
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
So the sheep on the the right hand of Jesus shall inherit the Kingdom of God and the goats on His left hand  will be cursed and cast to everlasting fire ( into hell ) together with the devil and his angels.

QUESTION NO. 1 :  WHO ARE THOSE SHEEP TO CALL BY JESUS ?

Ezekiel 34:31 King James Version (KJV)

31 And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.

Psalm 95:7 King James Version (KJV)

For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice.

THE SHEEP OF THE LORD ARE MEN TO BRING IN HIS PASTURE.
WHY HE WILL CALL HIS SHEEP ?

Because God did not want even one to perish.

Matthew 18:12-14 King James Version (KJV)

12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE SHEEP TO HIM ?  

JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP :

John 10:11 King James Version (KJV)

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 11:50-54 King James Version (KJV)

50 Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
51 And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.

WHAT HAPPEN TO THE SHEEP ?  THEY WERE SCATTERED :

Mark 14:27 King James Version (KJV)

27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

WHOSE FAULT OR WHOSE TO BLAME WHY THEY WERE SCATTERED ?

First is the Roman Empire at the Time of Inquisition of Israel 70 A.D., when the destruction of Temple of Jerusalem happened, and at this Present Time, Woe unto Pastors and Ministers who commended themselves not approved of God.

FIRST :  SHEEP OF THE LORD SCATTERED BY ROMAN EMPIRE :

Mark 14:27 King James Version (KJV)

27 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.


                                           Destruction of Jerusalem Temple 70 A.D. 
SECOND :  AT PRESENT THEY WERE SCATTERED BECAUSE OF PASTORS AND MINISTERS COMMENDED ONLY THEMSELVES AND NOT OF GOD :

Jeremiah 23:1 King James Version (KJV)

23 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.

WHY FAULT OF PASTORS AND MINISTER ?

For it is not the Lord commended them to preach the gospel :

2 Corinthians 10:18 King James Version (KJV)

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approvedbut whom the Lord commendeth.

TRULY NOT ALL WHO PREACH THE WORD OF GOD ARE COMMENDED :

Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version (KJV)

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
WHERE ARE THEY SCATTERED ?  Scattered abroad in different nations :

John 11:52 King James Version (KJV)

52 And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
QUESTION NO. 2 :  HOW JESUS WILL CALL HIS SHEEP THAT GONE ASTRAY AND GATHER THEM TOGETHER IN ONE FLOCK OR FOLD ? 

John 10:27 King James Version (KJV)

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Sheep knows the voice of his Lord and follow Him :

John 10:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)

When he has brought all his own sheep outside, he walks on ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice and recognize his call.
THE LORD WILL SEARCH AND SEEK HIS SHEEP :

Ezekiel 34:11 King James Version (KJV)

11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
QUESTION NO. 3 :  HOW MANY FLOCKS OR FOLD ARE THERE WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE WHERE JESUS WILL CARRY AND BRING HIS LOST SHEEP ?

John 10:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
Only One Fold or One Flock where Jesus will bring His Sheep that were lost.

HOW COME THERE ARE SO MANY FLOCKS OR CHURCHES NOWADAYS ?

THE LORD WILL BRING HIS SHEEP INTO ONLY ONE FOLD AS IT IS WRITTEN.
The Lord is already in heaven !
TO WHOM THE SHEEP CAN HERE THE VOICE OF HIS LORD ?

Through God sent apostle, he is the one speaks the word of God :

John 3:34 King James Version (KJV)

34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Luke 10:16 New International Version (NIV)

16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
FOR THOSE WHO WERE NOT SENT ?  A WARNING ! 

Jeremiah 27:15 King James Version (KJV)

15 For I have not sent them, saith the Lord, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
Pastors and Prophets or Ministers that are not sent of God considered to be as impostors masquerading to be Lord's Preachers, as what is written, "yet they prophesy" :

Jeremiah 23:21 King James Version (KJV)

21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

CONCLUSION : 
Holy Bible are considered as Word of God, many Religious Group using the Bible, Preachers claiming that they are Ministers of the Lord by saying “ This is the word of God “ as what is written " yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied ".

If you are really called by Jesus as His sheep in His pasture that were gone astray and scattered from nation or to other nation, How sure are you that the voice that you heard from the preacher using the Bible or the Word of God are really the Voice of our Lord Jesus Christ ?

HERE IS HOW 100% 
YOU WILL BE SO SURE :


Romans 1: 5-6  King James Version (KJV)
By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
NOW, LET US LEARN THIS VERSES THAT MANY ARE NOT IN THIS STATUS OF FAITH:

1st : By whom ( from Jesus ) we have received grace and apostleship:
Means that grace starts from a person who will received an office of apostleship through Jesus Christ.
Apostleship is an office to receive, a continuing office, many receives this office died, but the office remains as also what is written in Romans 11: 29 : " for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable ". 
2nd : for obedience to the faith among all nations: 
Means that, it is he who received grace and apostleship is the one to be use by God for obedience to the faith among all nations.
3rd : Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 
Means that, it is them or "among whom" who received grace and apostleship, among them, God will call His lost sheep scattered to every nation and bring them as one fold the Church.

NOW, ARE YOU REALLY THE LOST SHEEP OF THE LORD ?
WHO CALLED YOU TO ASSURE THAT IT IS THE VOICE OF OUR LORD JESUS ?
IS HE SENT BY GOD, FOR IT IS WRITTEN : 


Romans 10:15 New International Version (NIV)

15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent ? ...
HE MUST BE SEND BY GOD TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.
IS YOUR PREACHER OR MINISTER OR PASTOR SENT BY GOD OR JUST COMMENDED HIMSELF ?

2 Corinthians 10:18 King James Version (KJV)

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approvedbut whom the Lord commendeth.

If anyone will say, I am an Ordained Preacher !
Who ordain your preacher ? an apostle or not ?  For it is  written :

Timothy became Pastor by laying or putting on of hands by Apostle Paul :

2 Timothy 1:6 King James Version (KJV)

Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

2 Timothy 1:6 New International Version (NIV)

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
Is your Pastor, Minister or Preacher received that gift or ordained by an Apostle by putting or laying of the hand of the apostle like Paul ? 

Where is their basis that the Head Pastor or Senior Pastor can ordain a Pastor or can ordain an Evangelist ? 

IT MUST BE AN APOSTLE TO ORDAINED THEM AS WHAT IS WRITTEN, LIKE PAUL BY LAYING OF HIS HANDS TO TIMOTHY WHY HE BECAME A PASTOR.
