THE TRUE ISRAEL OF GOD - Part 4 - By Daniel J. Musokwa

Daniel J. Musokwa

I would encourage you to click on these links and check out Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of this series of teachings, solidly based on the Word of God, titled "The True Israel of God" by my brother and friend Apostle Daniel J. Musokwa of the New Testament Ministries Tanzania.

*****************************************
Rom 9:6-8 It is not as though God's word had failed. For NOT all who are descended from Israel are Israel. Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned." In other words, it is NOT the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.

Not all who are the natural descendants of Jacob are the Israel of God! He stresses that “it is not the NATURAL children who are God’s children, but it is the children of the PROMISE who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring!” I am telling you, it doesn't get more telling than that! So truly, it is NOT the natural descendants of Abraham who are God’s children because that would mean that they are born of earth through the earthly man, Abraham! But God’s children were simply promised to Abraham through Christ Jesus the heavenly man! What was the promise?

Gal 3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT.

So here Paul tells us what the promise was. Our redemption was in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to us Gentiles through Christ Jesus so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Holy Ghost! So the promise of the blessing was the Holy Spirit! So it is by the giving of the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ produces God’s children; that is why Paul says:

Rom 8:14 … those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Wow Paul! If we are truly God’s sons that would mean that we are no longer under the Law because we are being led by the Holy Ghost of God Himself! Could that be?

Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are NOT under law!

Believe me; the Jew is being led by the Law, not by the Holy Spirit! So who has the promise now, the Jew or the Church? Just be honest with your answer. The Holy Ghost has been poured to the church of Jesus Christ, both the believing Jew and Gentile! That means the unbelieving Israelis are without the promised blessing of the Spirit. Even though they are the natural descendants of Abraham, they are NOT God’s children! In the New Testament economy of the church, they are NOT God’s chosen people. This is Paul’s gospel. Tradition gets the best of us.

Rom 9:30-31 What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is BY FAITH; BUT Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has NOT attained it.

Rom 9:32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were BY WORKS. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone."(Jesus)

So the Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness by the Law have obtained it by faith, but the Jew who pursued it by works did NOT obtain it! Why? Because they wanted to attain righteousness by works of the Law.
