God
alone is omnipotent, this means that he can do everything. Gn 18/14.
God
alone is omnipresent, this means he is everywhere in the space, in the time
and beyond space-time. Ps 139/7-12.
God
alone knows everything Matt 6/8.
Jesus-Christ is the only begotten son of the Father. Lk 1/26-35. Jn 1/14. Jn 3/16. He was unique: man born of a woman, God in the flesh. Now, He is the brother of a mulitude who are born of God. See son of man. He prolongs his days by a spiritual offspring Is 53/ 10.
Jesus-Christ
is the only son of God because He is the first-born of all the creation Col
1/15. He is the son of the inaccessible God.
Jesus,
the Son, lives in our created system.
But God the Father-Creator lives beyond time and space, though He fills all things.
We
don't say ''sacred'' because we want to keep the vocabulary of the Bible and
its meaning so as not to create any confusion in the souls.
God
wants us to teach His Ordinances and His laws to His people Ex 18/20.
We must follow the Ordinances of God Ez 11/20.
There
is thus the Ordinance of the laying on of hands Mk 16/18. See
laying on of hands. The Ordinance of the unction of oil to the sick of the
Church who have confessed their sins according to Jm 5/14-16. See
unction. There is the Ordinance of the baptism for the livings Mk 16/16.
See Baptism. There is the Ordinance
of the baptism on behalf of the dead 1 Cor 15/29-30. See
Baptism. There is the Ordinance of the presentation of the children
Matt 19/14-15. Matt 28/1920. The Ordinance of entering the Temple at twelve
years Lk 2/42. It is, somehow, a Bar Misva (and Bat Misva for daughters
), a feast meaning that the child has reached the spiritual majority within
the Community. This act is done on the day of the Pentecost. (date when the
law was received at Sinai and the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem.) Ex 19/1.
There is the Ordinance of the washing of the feet. See Adoration.
Covenant. Wash.
Mystery of God. There is the
Ordinance of the Last Supper 1 Cor 11/23-34.
Now
, we should be very clear!
All
these ordinances have value only for those who accept them.
For
instance:
A person who has been baptised must keep the covenant which is linked with the Ordinance. If the Covenant is not kept, the baptism is meaningless. Nowadays a person keeps the Covenant of the baptism when she keeps the Covenant which was commonly observed during the first age of the veritable Church of Jesus-Christ Acts 2/42. See Church. name of the Church. Keys.
To serve God, one must have been called by God. The call of God concerns all the believers Mk 16/15-18, but the call to the ministry of the Word for the edification of the Church Eph 4/11-16, must be sufficiently clear so that the authentic disciples of Jesus-Christ ackowledge it. It is God who establishes His servants Jn 15/16.
The
laying on of hands is given to those who are already in the ministry, having
showed that their call is authentic. Acts 13/1-4.
As
for me, I have been serving God from june 1 1968 until november 7 1979 within
diverse Christian organizations, among which Teen-Challenge during 7 years.
(Teen-Challenge work was founded by the pastor David Willkerson) On november
7, 1979 I was ordained, receiving the laying on of hands from Doctor T.L. Osborn
in the office of the Osborn Foundation (OS/FO) at Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the presence
of the Board of Directors of the Foundation, during a private ceremony..
T.L
and Daisy Osborn are Evangelists and Doctors God has given to his people since
their marriage, avril 5, 1942. They have ceaselessly gone through the world
(more than 70 countries) to preach the Gospel of Jesus-Christ faithfully.
Their
meetings generally gather several hundreds of thousands of people. In each gathering
extraordinary miracles are accomplished by the Lord Jesus-Christ in response
to the faith the Osborn communicate to their audiences. This way, thousands
are saved receiving Jesus-Christ as their Savior and Master. All their gatherings
are held outdoors.
Daisy
Osborn returned to the Lord on may 27, 1995.
T.L.
Osborn keeps serving God faithfully and is mainly dedicated to let people know
the message God had given to his dear wife. This message concerns women.
The extraordinary ministry-miracle of this wonderful couple has been largely inspired by the prophet William Branham. The Osborn never fell into the fanaticism which followed the death of the prophet in 1965. They remained very faithful to the Holy Word of God and never believed in the infallibility of William Branham. It is T.L. Osborn who preached at the funeral of William Branham. But he and his wife immediately turned away from the ''Branhamist'' movement which was just starting. I believe with all my heart that the Osborn couple is the couple of pastors who have influenced the world the most with the Gospel of Jesus-Christ in the second part of the 20th century. The Osborn have always taught that Jesus-Christ is always the same, yesterday, today and eternally Heb 13/18. Brother Branham gives testimony of them, saying that we must follow their example. See Ordination.

Jesus-Christ
often spoke using stories of the daily life in order to illustrate the Truth
he had to say. He often hided on purpose the significance of the parabols to
the people whom he did not want in His Kingdom Matt 13/10-17.
