WE ONLY NEED, ONE!
THREE DENOMINATIONS OR RELIGIONS:
We are not a religion or a denomination, nor do we support the construction of physical church buildings. Instead, our mission is to build up the body of our Lord God, Jesus Christ, through love, grace, and mercy. We are dedicated to aiding, helping, and supporting the members of the Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries Family as they carry out ministries that serve the body of Christ and His Kingdom.
We believe that being in the Church is more than simply attending services or holding membership. We are His living temples, and He manifests His works through us as we seek to meet the needs of the Saints first, and subsequently all others, in accordance with His divine will. This is the heart and mission of the Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries.
We don't go, attend, join, become a member of, or have Church. We are His living temples and Church, and He manifests His works through us in meeting the needs of His body, the Saints first and then all others according to His will. This is what we are as Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Saints Global Fellowship Ministries.
We are the Lord Jesus Christ's total body, with every member working together in love and unity, guided by the Holy Spirit and God's new and Better Way. In Matthew 5:16, Jesus says, “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
The Jesus Christ Royal Believers Way Worldwide Global Saints’ Family Fellowship Ministries serve as a beacon of light to the world through acts of kindness and service. Jesus exhorted believers to “let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” ( Matthew 5:16 ). While we recognize that good works do not provide salvation ( Ephesians 2:8–9 ), we hold firmly to the truth that faith without works is dead ( James 2:26 ). God saved us not only to rescue us from the consequences of sin but to reflect His character and goodness to the world. As the Holy Spirit produces fruit in our lives ( Galatians 5:22–23 ), we are empowered to act in ways that please God and reflect His nature. Instead of walking in our old ways, we seek to do good works and exhort others to do the same. Fellowship with fellow believers provides the essential opportunity to put these good works into practice, allowing us to “stir up one another to love and good works” ( Hebrews 10:24 ). Amen.
Was it wrong for Peter to want to make three tabernacles for Jesus Christ, one for Moses, and one for Elijah ( Matthew 17:4 )?
Sometimes when God shows us something extraordinary, we miss the point entirely. At His transfiguration, Jesus presented His three closest disciples (Peter, James, and John) with a stunning sneak preview of His resplendent glory: “His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus” ( Matthew 17:2–3 ). Ever the impulsive one, Peter jumped into action, saying, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” (Baptists, Pentecostal and Catholic or Other ).
Peter wanted to honor Jesus, Moses, and Elijah by building three tabernacles—sacred shrines—one for each of them. But God interrupted the well-intentioned, albeit misguided, disciple: “While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is My Beloved Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased. Listen to Him!’” ( Matthew 17:5 ). Peter had missed the point, and God intended to clear up all confusion.
First and foremost, the disciples needed to understand the superiority of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, far above Moses and Elijah. The presence of Moses and Elijah (who respectively represent the Law and the Prophets) was to signal the arrival of their long-awaited Messiah and the ushering in of the last days. Everything in Israel’s history had been pointing to the time when the Messiah would fulfill the Law and the Prophets ( Matthew 5:17 ) ; ( Luke 24:27 ) ; ( Hebrews 1:1–2 ). God’s command, “Listen to Him!” exalted the words of Christ above those of Moses and Elijah. Only Jesus was worthy of worship. The focus is not on Jesus and anyone else; it is on Jesus alone.
When the three disciples heard God’s voice, they fell to the ground in terror. Jesus calmed their fears, and when they opened their eyes again, Moses and Elijah were gone. Only Jesus stood in their midst, and their focus was back on Him alone ( Matthew 17:6–8 ). As they walked down from the mountain, Jesus instructed Peter, James, and John, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead” ( Matthew 17:9). As one of His beloved spiritual Kingdom sons, I'm established on Christ, the solid Rock; I stand that all other religions, faiths, and denominations are nothing but sinking sand.
The news of the transfiguration was reserved for a later time, after the resurrection. If Peter had constructed three tabernacles at the site, keeping the revelation concealed until after the resurrection would have become impossible. And if Jesus’ closest disciples struggled to comprehend the significance of the transfiguration, how much more would others exploit and misunderstand it? Jesus knew the spectacle would only distract from His mission as He prepared to suffer and die on the cross.
Peter, James, and John would later testify boldly about the transfiguration after the resurrection. Peter never forgot seeing the “majestic splendor” of God’s glory with his own eyes, an experience that inspired him to preach confidently (see 2 Peter 1:12–21, ( Jesus Royal Believers Way Saints ). Many years later, John would write, “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” ( John 1:14 ).
Peter wanted to make three tabernacles and stay there for an extended mountaintop experience. He wished to capture God’s presence in an earthly tent. But until the time of the future millennial kingdom, God’s kingdom is a spiritual kingdom, separate from the material things of this world (John 18:36 ) ; ( Romans 14:17 ).
Peter’s desire to build three tabernacles revealed a common misconception among the Jews, who thought their Messiah would come and reign on earth as a triumphant king and not a suffering servant. Jesus knew His mission (and His followers' mission) was to deny Himself and take up His cross. Peter later preached that the Christian path to glory passes through trials and suffering (1 Peter 1:6–8, 11; 1 Peter 4:12–19). As His Minister and Senior Apostle, allow me to express it this way, beautifully in His daily devotional Morning and Evening: “The cross must be carried before the crown can be worn. We must follow our Lord in His humiliation, or we shall never rest with Him in glory” ( Let His Churches Write. Yes God! ).
Indeed, the three men who witnessed Jesus Christ’s glory would follow in His footsteps. James would die by the sword as the first of the Apostles to be martyred for Jesus ( Acts 12:1–2 ). Peter would suffer greatly and eventually give his life for the Lord ( John 21:15–19 ). John would be the last of the three to die, experiencing a life of extreme persecution and exile ( Revelation 1:9 ). Again, let the body of the Lord Jesus Christ reply in total agreement by writing. Amen.
