Watch out for the "little" (or small) bang then big bang'

Lately UBF goes through changes in leadership in chapters world-wide. And those who are newly appoined as leaders impliment measures that bring out  'changes' to the "ministry". Apparently one of the reasons why those who chose to bring about  'changes' is the 'problems' they (as well as the so called 'ex-ubf members') noticed in UBF.

The "change" however is not so much the change in 'people' filling leadership positions, but in what has gone and will continue to go (knowingly or unknowingly) into the universes of the spirits and minds of the people sitting in the leadership positions. One quick way to verify this is for you to compare what Mother Barry (if you know her) or Dr. Samuel Lee believes in with what those who have been invited to do the 'consultation' to the UBF ministry at the HQ level believe in. 

Or watch the video clip and think about the theory of 'the little bang' rather than 'big bang', for according to this theory, the Big Bang if at all was caused by the "Little Bang".

That which is small and little is hardly perceived. Yet a subtle change that takes place in the privacy of your mind results in you going to an entirely different direction than you originally intended to go. I've noticed this to be the case again and again in trying to get built a small garden room in my backyard. So I ask, "What is the most important tool you must carry all the time in beginning a construction project?" Answer: level - an accurate one.

What then is the level for you to use in building your life (or ministry or a nation)?

We find the answr to this question in Judges 2:2 where our Lord Jesus speaks to the post-Joshua (or post modern if you will) generation ("PJG"). He loves his children, so he does not want his children suffer loss. But he saw them going down the road the way of endless sufferings.

There are two words that describe the 'unnecessary' sufferings Jesus saw coming to their lives: thorrns and snares. In a capentry work unless you be careful it is so easy to get a saw dust getting into your eyes or a tiny pice of splinter lodged into your finger. Once a splinter gets into a finger (much less to your 'side' ) you feel so irritated that you cannot continue on with the project without first taking it out.

Consider your 'gods' becoming a snare to you.

 "They will be [thorns] in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you." 2:3

As used in the Bible, snare refers to a noose to catch beasts or birds. Imagine you becoming like a bird locked up in a cage or a wild game caught up in a noose ready to turn to a dish! It also means 'death', as is written: "The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me." Psalm 18:5 Further the word is used to describe an iron ring that puts through the nose of a beast.  (Job 40:24) Imagine you getting 'decorated' :-) with an iron nose ring, and being dragged to a place you do not want to go. How would you like it?


On hearing the words of the Lord, the PJG wept aloud, and they called the place "Bokim" [meaning "weeping.''] Why did they weep so loud? I don't know.

The truth however is that the Israelites did their best. Yet the Lord's verdict was 'You have disobeyed me." What was their sin?

Their sin consisted in not so much them falling short of doing all the do's or not doing all the 'don'ts', but 'disobeying' a person "the Lord".

In what respect did they not obey the Lord? Or why does it seem  (or is it indeed) so hard to obey the Lord?

The answer is found in the expression 'the people of this land' especially the words 'this land' particularly 'this' rather than 'the other'.

Jesus the Lord came from above. The place where the Israelites was brought to is often called 'the Promised Land'. But the real meaning of the promised 'land' is not the physical land but the spiritual land, just as is written: "[Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob] were  looking for a better country - a heavenly one." Hebrews 11:16

What does the people of this land mean? We find the answer to this question in what Jesus said in John 8:23, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world."

So to avoid endless/needless loss, do two things: one for the past another for the future:

1) for the past - break down their altars (of the people of this land)
2) for the future - do not make a covenant (with the people of this land)

If you repent and turn to the Lord, you have entered into a new covenant - the covenant sealed with the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb  of God. Then you are born from above. You've  begun the life that is upward mobile, for you are on the path of life that leads upward to keep you from going down the grave (or snare). Pro 15:24

So get into the relationship with the Lord and keep it that way.

One word: watch out for the little bang so that there should be 'no bang'.
