“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

If anyone wills to do His will,

he shall know concerning the doctrine,

whether it is from God or

whether I speak on My own authority.

 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory;

but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true,

and no unrighteousness is in Him.

John 7:16-19

Doctrine (Latin: doctrina) means “a code of beliefs”, “a body of teachings” or “instructions”, taught principles or positions, as the body of teachings in a branch of knowledge or belief system. The Greek analogy is the etymology of catechism.

Jesus spoke of His doctrine or sets of teachings. I copied and pasted above a definition of doctrine from Wikipedia. The doctrine of Jesus is not His own. It came from His Father who sent Him to manifest His Will. We’ve got to know the doctrine of Jesus that was expounded clearly to His disciples. We must distinguish His doctrine from the apostolic doctrines. It is important to segregate Christ’s teachings from the teachings of any religious denominations. The doctrine is the test for originality and acceptability. No man on earth can modify the doctrine of Christ. It is the rock and solid foundation of our faith.

If anybody wants to know the will of our Father in heaven, he must know the pure and unadulterated doctrine of Christ. Anybody who speaks of a teaching different from the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ speaks from himself and for his own glory. His or her teachings are not of the Truth. The only true doctrine is the one promulgated by the Lord. Is your doctrinal belief according to the doctrine of Christ? If not, you are considered a heretic and an apostate from the true teachings of Christ. Sorry for the strong assertions.

There are readers who think that WOJC is introducing a new doctrine. We do not teach a new or weird doctrine. The doctrine of Jesus Christ is our doctrine and we cannot depart from it. We don’t seek our own glory. As people would notice, we only lift up one Master and Lord— the Christ. How would we know if a religion is true or not? We can know it by knowing their doctrine or teaching. If a doctrine is cooked by a council of men and not according to His words, then it is time to post the red flag of warning.

   1.    I WILL MAKE YOU “Fishers of Men”

Matt4:19

 And he saith unto them,

Follow me,

and I will make you fishers of men.

 Only Jesus can make us “fishers of men” if we follow Him and His words; no man can do this if we analyze what He meant by it. There is no way we can catch a person to believe in Christ. It doesn’t mean that He will give us the hook, line and sinker with attractive bait to lure people to salvation and thus become “fishers of men”.

 Besides He doesn’t want us to treat people like fish. We should not worry about converting people to Christ. The main task of the Holy Spirit of God is to draw men to Him. He doesn’t need us to be poor “baits” for church membership.

He knows exactly the mental and spiritual condition of every man and woman. Jesus can see where they are and to find them without unnecessary seminary work.  He knows where the fish are as it was illustrated in the John 21:4-6. The disciples caught a large number of fish because they follow the advice of their Master and Lord Jesus Christ.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore,

 but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

 He called out to them,

“Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

 “No,” they answered.

 He said, “Throw your net on the right side

 of the boat and you will find some.”

 When they did, they were unable to haul

the net in because of the large number of fish.

2. I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH

Matt 16:18-20

And I tell you that you are Peter,

and on this rock

I will build my church,

and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

 Only Jesus can build His own Church. He never asked us to build a Church for Him. There are things He allows us to build but not the Church. The Apostles established the New Testament churches.They were the fruit of their missionary work. The Church that Christ will build is not necessarily the Apostolic Church that was full with imperfections. You can read the Book of Acts to see what I mean. We need to put a clear distinction between the Apostolic Church and the futuristic Church of Christ which many would call it the “Invisible Church”.

The Church that Christ is building is still in progress. If anyone who wishes to build a church, he can do it at his own risk. You cannot support church building program without a direct mandate from the Lord. Nowhere in the gospel, He instructed the disciples to build His Church. You may succeed building an edifice and call it a church but that is not even a part of the Church He is building.

3.      PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU

 And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come again, and receive you unto myself;

that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:3

Only Jesus can go and prepare a place for us. The place is unknown to us until He comes again and receives us unto Himself. If He calls us before that time of His coming, then we shall be with Him in Paradise . There is a prepared place for each and every one of us who follow His words. No one is delegated to do this task of preparing a place for us in Paradise. No religious leader can do this for you.

                                       4.  I WILL SEND THE COMFORTER.

 But when the Comforter is come,

whom I will send unto you from the Father,

even the Spirit of truth,

which proceeds from the Father,

he shall testify of me.

John 15:26

Only Jesus can promise and send the Comforter to His followers. He will send the Holy Spirit from the Father as He promised to His disciples. Jesus performed many miracles because of the divine anointing. The Spirit of the Lord was upon Him to unable Him to perform miracles.The Holy Spirit will help us to testify about the Lord.

We will do greater things than the miracles of Jesus Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit. Now the greater things are limited to miracles and that doesn’t include the making of the “fishers of Men”, the Building of Christ’s Church, the Preparing a Place and the sending and anointing of the Holy Spirit. No servant is greater than his Master.

 John 14:11-14

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me;

or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me

 will do what I have been doing.

 He will do even greater things than these,

because I am going to the Father.

 And I will do whatever you ask in my name,

 so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.

 You may ask me for anything in my name,

and I will do it.

 John 15:20-22

Remember the words I spoke to you:

 ‘No servant is greater than his master.’

If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.

 If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

 They will treat you this way because of my name,

for they do not know the One who sent me.

Jesus presented Himself as somebody we should know and accept as the right able person when He started saying “I am.” It was what Jesus knew about Himself, from His own mouth came an admission that He is what He says and thinks. It was not something from the minds of other people. These “I am’s” should be taken more seriously than the inspiring words of the prophets and apostles because they originated from the mind of the Lord Jesus Christ, the wisdom of God.

Here are His verbal proclamation of “I am’s” in the gospel.

1.  “I am the Alpha and Omega.”

I am the Alpha and the Omega,

the First and the Last,

the Beginning and the End.

Rev 22:13

 2.  “I am the Light of the World.”

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,

“I am the light of the world.

He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness,

but have the light of life.”

John 8:12

 3.  “I am the Bread of Life.”

And Jesus said to them,

 ”I am the bread of life.

He who comes to Me shall never hunger,

and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”

John 6:35

 ”Most assuredly, I say to you,

he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

“I am the bread of life.”

John 6:47-48

 ”I am the living bread which came down from heaven.”

John 6:5

 4. “I am the Door.”

Then Jesus said to them again,

“Most assuredly, I say to you,

I am the door of the sheep.

“All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers,

but the sheep did not hear them.

“I am the door.

 If anyone enters by Me,

5.  “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.”

Jesus said to him,

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 14:6

 6.  “I am the Good Shepherd.”

“I am the good shepherd.

The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”

John 10:11

 7.  “I am the True Vine.”

“I am the true vine,

and My Father is the vinedresser.

“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;

and every branch that bears fruit He prunes,

that it may bear more fruit.

“You are already clean because of the word

which I have spoken to you.”

John 15:1-3

 “I am the vine, you are the branches.

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;

for without Me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5

 8. “I am the Resurrection and the Life.”

“I am the resurrection and the life.

He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”

John 11:25

He is establishing a relationship with those who listen to His voice, uttering these powerful words of self disclosure. This proclamation of truth is uncontested. He is either what he says to you or consider Him as an impostor and a liar. The “I am” is face to face with who you are, in your strength and weaknesses.

Keep these “I am’s” in your heart. These are His assuring words to you. He won’t lie to you. His credibility is at stake. Your doubts would not change the truth about Him. There are not many self disclosures of Christ that are known to men. Meditate upon them and they would come alive in your spirit because His presence are in those words of “I AM’s”

 (THE SUPPORTING WORDS ARE FROM THE SAYINGS OF CHRIST)

1. Labor for food that perishes.

John 6:27

“Do not labor for the food which perishes,

but for the food which endures to everlasting life,

which the Son of Man will give you,

because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

2. Procrastinate.

John 4:35

“Do you not say,

‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest”

? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields,

for they are already white for harvest!

3. Store up material things.

Matt6:19

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,

where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;

4. Worry about our life.

Matt 6:25-28
“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life,

 what you will eat or what you will drink;

nor about your body, what you will put on.

Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

“Look at the birds of the air,

for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns;

 yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not of more value than they?

“Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:

they neither toil nor spin.

5. Give what is holy to the “dogs”.

Matt 7:6

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs;

nor cast your pearls before swine,

lest they trample them under their feet,

and turn and tear you in pieces.

6. Swear.

Matt5:34

“But I say to you, do not swear at all:

 neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne;

7. Judge our neighbor.

Matt 7:1-2
“Judge not, that you be not judged.

“For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged;

 and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.

8.   Despise a little child.

Matt 18:10
“Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones,

for I say to you that in heaven their angels

always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

9.   Show off our goodness to others.

Matt 6:1-6

“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men,

 to be seen by them.

Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.

“Therefore, when you do a charitable deed,

do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do

 in the synagogues and in the streets,

that they may have glory from men.

Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

“But when you do a charitable deed,

do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

“that your charitable deed may be in secret;

and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.

“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites.

For they love to pray standing in the synagogues

and on the corners of the streets,

that they may be seen by men.

Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

“But you, when you pray, go into your room,

and when you have shut your door,

pray to your Father who is in the secret place;

and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

10. Be afraid of things that kill your body.

Luke 12:4

“And I say to you, My friends,

do not be afraid of those who kill the body,

and after that have no more that they can do.

And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.  (John 21:25)

John wrote that there were many other things that Jesus did (not words He said) during the course of His ministry, which if they were written one by one, John supposedly believe  that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

 It is clear everything Jesus wanted to say, had been said and had been given to us as a complete message from our Father. His words were full divine disclosures; nothing is to be added or subtracted from them. No further revelation to complete His message is needed.

Every believer is faithful to His spoken words that is recorded in the Gospel. Don’t speculate a theory on the things that were not said. Don’t formulate a doctrine based on hearsay that was not verbally delivered by Jesus to His followers. We should focus on what He clearly said in the gospel. We are not supposed to major on the non-existent speculative teachings of the Lord.

The religious establishments are guilty of deviating from the clear message of Jesus Christ. They based their belief on denominational creed and not necessarily on the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is in the New Testament. The Bible includes the words and life of Jesus Christ in the collections of sacred manuscript. It clearly contains the Logos of God, the real living word of God. It won’t be wrong then to assert that the Bible contains the Word of God which is Jesus Christ Himself and His Words.

The great commission of the Lord is to teach to do all things He had commanded to His followers. (Matt. 28:20) We’ve got to filter every human doctrine through the clear teachings of Christ, isolating the pure words from the adulterated teachings of the church. Our priority is to obey Him first and not the man-made doctrines taken from Bible.We will be judged by the Word He had spoken.

And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him;

for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 

 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words,

 has that which judges him —

the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 

 For I have not spoken on My own authority;

but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command,

what I should say and what I should speak. 

 And I know that His command is everlasting life.

Therefore, whatever I speak,

just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.” 

John 12:47-50

For I have not spoken of myself;

 but the Father which sent me,

he gave me a commandment,

what I should say, and what I should speak.

 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:

whatsoever I speak therefore,

even as the Father said unto me,

so I speak.

John 12:49-50

A commandment is a formal statement of a command or injunction to do something by someone you love dearly. The commandment is a voice of love and deep concern.

Our Father gave Jesus Christ a commandment to what He should say and what He should speak. Christ didn’t open His mouth for nothing. He spoke exactly what our Father wanted Him to speak. The commandment of our Father is life everlasting and cannot be duplicated nor ignored. This divine and sacred commandment was given to Jesus Christ alone to impart to us and live by it.

We are sure that the words of Jesus Christ are the teachings of our Father in heaven. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses for the Israelites to follow and obey religiously.

A new commandment I give unto you,

That ye love one another;

as I have loved you,

that ye also love one another.

 By this shall all men know

 that ye are my disciples,

if ye have love one to another.

John 13:34-35

A new commandment was given by Jesus Christ to His followers. This new commandment is vitally important in our everlasting living and existence. The command is we love one another as He has loved us. The quality of love Christ gave us is the same quality of love we should give to others. Without love, a church or mosque is like a prison cell under a totalitarian regime. Do we love another or do we hate each other? This commandment can never be old and must not be changed for the perpetuation of the religious establishments.

                                     These things have I spoken unto you,

that my joy might remain in you,

and that your joy might be full.

 This is my commandment,

That ye love one another,

as I have loved you.

John 15:11-12

 The joy of the Lord is for us to love one another. He had spoken His new commandment that His joy may remain in us. Our joy will be full as we love another. Our world needs this commandment to survive. We don’t need to hate each other in churches, councils and the congress to solve our problems.

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:21

He that hath my commandments,

and keeps them,

he it is that loves me:

and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father,

and I will love him,

and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:15

 It is not hard to follow Christ’s new command if we truly love Him. Love Him first, and then we can love our neighbor including our personal enemy if we have one. The foundation of loving others is our love for Jesus Christ. Our lack of love for Christ is why we hate our neighbors. Christ is confessing His love for us as we follow His commandments.

If ye keep my commandments,

ye shall abide in my love;

 even as I have kept my Father’s commandments,

and abide in his love.

John 15:10

Finally, Christ wants us to keep His commandments, even as He kept the commandments of His Father. If we abide in His words, we also abide in His love. How do we know He loves us? It is our verbal agreement with Him, that if we follow His commandment, He is committed in loving us. This is a special love for those who love Him according to what He said above.

 Now he who received seed among the thorns is

he who hears the word,

and the cares of this world and

the deceitfulness of riches choke the word,

and he becomes unfruitful. 

But he who received seed on the good ground is

 he who hears the word and

 understands it,

who indeed bears fruit and produces:

some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

Matt 13:22-23

Jesus said in a parable that the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches are the road to unfruitfulness. These are also the source of our economic downfall. Greed loves the world and its wealth more than the living words of Christ. Depression is the result of man’s extreme care and worry for this world.

 The greediness of the wealthy capitalist barons is choking our economy. Now, the deceitfulness of riches is clear everywhere in the nation. Cheating is fast becoming the rule of the business dealings. The Lord foresaw this period of hardship when people started choking the word of truth.

The Word of truth is Jesus Christ himself. The choking the WORD would mean the end of abundant life. However, we cannot choke the WORD forever. He is the resurrection and the Life. The Word is not the Bible because the meaning of “Biblios” is the compilation of many sacred books. A Bible believer is not necessarily an ardent follower of Christ.

It is important to know every time Jesus uses the term, Word. Does it imply for His words alone? For example, He said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away but MY words shall not pass away”. Let us not equate His words with any word in the Bible. His words are found in the New Testament of the Protestant and Catholic Bible. Christ is liken to a treasure that needs to be unearthed and loved.

We should not be troubled with the world’s financial condition. We are bound to be producers according to the talent He gave us. He is the true vine and we are His branches.

We are committed to Him and His words. If the Muslims are willing to follow Mohammed to death, more so we should be willing to do whatever Jesus wants us to do.

1. His words will continue to live forever.

Luke 21:33

  “Heaven and earth will pass away,

but My words will by no means pass away.

2. His words are spirit and life.

John 6:63

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.

The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

3. His words are final and directly from the Father.

John 12:49-50

“For I have not spoken on My own authority;

but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command,

what I should say and what I should speak.

“And I know that His command is everlasting life.

Therefore, whatever I speak,

just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

 John 14:10

“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?

The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority;

but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

4. His word will judge those who rejected Him and His word.

John 12:48

“He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words,

has that which judges him—

the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

5. His words are the complete messages from His Father.

What needs to be said have been said clearly.

John 15:15

“No longer do I call you servants,

for a servant does not know what his master is doing;

but I have called you friends,

for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

 John 17:6-8

“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world.

They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

“Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.

“For I have given to them the words which You have given Me;

and they have received them,

and have known surely that I came forth from You;

and they have believed that You sent Me.

6. His words were spoken openly and not in secret.

 John 18:20

   “I spoke openly to the world.

I always taught in synagogues and in the temple,

where the Jews always meet,

and in secret I have said nothing.

7.  His word leads to everlasting  life.

John 5:24

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word

and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life,

and shall not come into judgment,

but has passed from death into life.

John 5:37-40

“And the Father Himself, who sent Me, has testified of Me.

You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form.

“But you do not have His word abiding in you,

because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.

“You search the Scriptures,

for in them you think you have eternal life;

and these are they which testify of Me.

“But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

8.  His words are the teachings of God.

John 7:15-17

The Jews were amazed and asked,

“How did this man get such learning without having studied?”

Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own.

It comes from him who sent me.

If anyone chooses to do God’s will,

he will find out whether my teaching comes from God

or whether I speak on my own.

John 8:25-30

Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”

And Jesus said to them,

“Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

“I have many things to say and to judge concerning you,

but He who sent Me is true;

and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man,

then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself;

but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

“And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone,

for I always do those things that please Him.”

As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

9.  To love Jesus is to keep and obey His words.

John 14:23-24

Jesus answered and said to him,

“If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word;

and My Father will love him, and

We will come to him and make Our home with him.

“He who does not love Me does not keep My words;

and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

10.  His words are the foundation of our faith.

Luke 6:46-49

“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’

and do not do the things which I say?

“Whoever comes to Me,

and hears My sayings and does them,

I will show you whom he is like:

“He is like a man building a house,

who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock.

And when the flood arose,

the stream beat vehemently against that house,

and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.

“But he who heard and did nothing is like a man

who built a house on the earth without a foundation,

against which the stream beat vehemently;

and immediately it fell.

And the ruin of that house was great.”

11.  To be His disciples is to abide in His words.

John 8:31

“teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;

and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

These following inspired declarations and revelation are recorded in the gospel.

Jesus Christ is the true Word of God.

John 1:1-4

In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him,

and without Him nothing was made that was made.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

His name is called the Word of God.

Rev 19:12-13

His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns.

He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.

He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,

and His name is called The Word of God.

NOTE: The life and energy of this site are rooted in the Words and Teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. We declare full commitment and allegiance to the words of Christ.

Matt 7:12

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you,

do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

 The Golden rule of Christ is people oriented. The supreme rule is the summary of the law and the prophets according to Jesus who is our master teacher. All laws of the land should be based on this ethical principle. It is simple and can be easily understood even without any educational attainment. Every time you think of doing something to others, ask yourself if you would like others doing the same thing to you.

Jesus greatest commandment is to love our Lord God (Father) and to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our love for ourselves must be equal to our love for others. The love of Christ must flow through and from us with no discrimination at all, including our enemies, if we have some. The Teaching of Christ alone is the foundation of the Golden rule. It is important to know and practice what is said by Christ our Lord.

We are lost if we don’t follow His words. There must be an absolute standard for everything to conform with. What is good to you may not be good to others. Who can tell what good and what is bad? The Word of Christ is the solid rock and everything else is sinking sand. We are living in a world of ever changing moral and ethical standard. Men keep changing their moral values. The church rules or laws are subject to change anytime.

• (Positive form): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.^[2]
• (Negative/prohibitive form, also called The Silver Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
