Hi my name is Jonathan , you may simply  identify me as simply as Brother Jonathan. I started the 3amnews.org ministry in 2007 .3amnews.org is about the the 3 angels messages of Revelation 14 verse 6-12. These 3 messages are messages of love and hope through Jesus Christ. The third angels message is about good news of the judgement.How is it good news? Because Jesus Christ is both judge and advocate. Romans 8:1: says “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Did you choose Christ as your Lord and Savior?   

Here is my life story & Testimony:

I am just a simple ordinary guy ,born and raised in Africa .I can testify that God is alive and good .I survived few road accidents. I am alive today and hope the Lord will keep me until that day .

I am very blessed in many ways , i have  a roof over my head , married , with children. I lost my own father when he died when i was 3 years old .My mother was still young and  got re-married .I  was raised by my loving grand mother ,my `father`s mother.God bless her.

I am  not a pastor,  neither  am i looking for attention , nor do i want to get  recognition nor get noticed and labeled as an evangelist.We are all called by God to share the wonderful news of God`s love and the soon coming of our savior , Jesus Christ . 

I believe God loves all Muslims ,Buddhists , Atheists ,Hindus ,African traditionalists, black people,white people , Indians , Chinese , Africans , Americans , Europeans .That love is revealed through Jesus Christ ,his life,suffering ,death and resurrection.The bible says,  God loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who ever believes in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life.Whosoever includes everybody, no one is to be excluded by race ,nationality or culture.

An imperfect life story & spiritual journey .

I first accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior back in 1994 when i was just a teenager in high school. Before that , when i was still going to primary school,  I used to attend services at our local Anglican church.I attended every Sunday school and was taught all the basic stuff. When it was time for me to move to high school , my grandmother enrolled me for a position at a boarding school. At the boarding school ,we had no Sunday school,we had Sabbath school.

There was no Sunday services ,it was all Sabbath services. The environment was truly a blessing and uplifting in all senses , but as a teenager at a boarding school ,away from the watchful eye of the loving grandmother ,i could`nt escape all the temptations a child could face. New kids on the black ,all from different ,ethnic ,tribal , economic and social backgrounds. I needed to find my own identity amongst all these strangers .

I related with some kids and made friends.Some where good  and some were bad . I did some wrong things as a teenager,drinking all kinds of alcohol and smoking dagga  or marijuana.I went to night clubs .

After four years in high school,in 1996 ,it was now time to choose a career path.I loved music and aspired to became a club deejay but i also wanted a decent and honourable job.I wanted to join my country`s military air force army and work as an aviation engineer.Yes , i said it. At school , I was good in sciences but i was supposed to re write my Maths and English.

Due to financial challenges upon my grandmother and  as young adult , i could`nt rely on her anymore for more clothing while there were still many other grandchildren who needed her support. I then decided to join my cousin brother who used to go to foreign countries to buy and sell goods.  I moved to a foreign country hoping to work for college money and clothing for a few months but to my surprise,life in a foreign land was not what  i imagined.I found my self on the streets selling whatever people needed.At one moment ,under strange circumstances , I was acussed by strangers and relatives in the communal flat that we stayed as foreigners. It all started with a girl who appeared in the middle of the night. I was working late ,outside by the door of our apartment.An older girl around 23 i assume ,because i was just 19 ,appeared from the corridors.She confronted me and said that  was coming  from a certain party and she was looking for her uncle,an older relative that we stayed with.Imagine it was around 11 or 12 in the middle of the night. I indicated i know him and he was sleeping inside.She asked not to bother him but would see him in the morning if she could sleep with the other ladies inside until the morning. She seemed to know all that happens inside the flat. I offered her my own blanket and she slept on the side of the females as i slept on the side of the males,all in one room.She rose up early in the morning and because she knew where i was sleeping,she came over and shook my feet and signaled me to follow her outside.As we stood outside,she started to tell me that she had to run and see her boyfriend before he goes to work then she can come back and see her uncle. I agreed ,not knowing that i have just landed my self in trouble.When i came back inside the house ,many people were now awake. Rumours were being whispered that i had slept with a girl in a place where my uncles,aunties and strangers were sleeping also. I didn`t know that helping strangers can cause so much trouble. The story became so bad that my uncles and aunties felt disrespected and humiliated . That morning,i left for work and  at night when everybody , the court was set. I had to face the elders , face questions and accussations .I told  my side of the story ,explained the events of the previous  night and of those things that happened that same morning.People were not convinced that i did not do what they were acussing me of doing. The old uncle that the girl claimed to be her uncle , screamed at me and wanted to beat me up.He accussed me of fabricating the story. Everybody was angry with me,the landlord evicted me. My relatives joined strangers in falsely acussing me..My name was tarnished , and every relative back home heard of the rumours .To everyone , I became what ever you heard about me . 

The imperfect business life vs spiritual influences.

In life ,you can either work for someone,your boss or you can work for yourself and become your own boss. However,the life of an entrepreneur is never easy.Some people succeed quicker than others while some never make it at all .Others will go the  extra mile,to get rich ,by hook or crook.Some will even consult the dark world,sacrificing children or relatives in order for them to become rich. Why does hard work have to require human sacrifices ?  I would rather succeed by the Grace of God. 

I never gave up in life and i don`t want to ever give up. I created several business brands ,did several business deals ,until the day i experienced unfortunate challenges with one of my biggest contracts.

 In 2002 ,i had a huge contract with one of South Africa`s leading music stores.I was responsible for supplying handmade CD racks. After many years of spiritual confusion and careless living , i decided to totally give myself to God .Since 2007 ,when i recommitted my life to the Lord after many years of wandering between different faiths , i have lived with the conviction that i must start my own ministry share the message of God`s love and the soon coming of Jesus Christ.I understand how it feels to be lost ,living in sin and confusion.God loves us still and wants us to come to the knowledge of his Truth which is Jesus Christ and his beautiful character.,the ten commandments.

Prioritizing God`s work before my own.  

In 2007 or around 2008, in the heat of the day on a Friday afternoon around 3pm , as i was preparing to close my business and go and prepare for the Sabbath ,  a certain stranger,a midddle-aged lady driving her car ,stopped and opened her car window and gave me coins and she told me that God told her that she must give me whatever she had. I had my own little money in the pocket and i dont beg for money but i work with my own hands. Why would she do that? Did i look poor and miserable? In my heart ,iam rich and blessed. The people that I was with were all surprised. including myself. There were other people who had stopped their cars several months prior to this new lady.All of them claimed they saw something special about me.I know i have nothing special with me,iam just an ordinary guy. These strangers from previous encounters offered to support me in whatever i wanted to do in life.Unfortunately ,after they gave me their numbers and we communicated and met a few more times ,i lost my phone and their numbers.My friends witnessed all these things. Now its this lady. When i finally closed and took my taxi back to my humble place,the lady came back again ,but this time ,she saw my friends and asked for me.They told her i had already left. She started to tell my friends how blessed iam yet i dont know it.She went on to tell a lot of things that poor friends couldnt understand.Lastly ,she decided to leave her phone numbers so that i can call her when i come again to the place we traded.Later that night ,i met my friends again in the flat and they gave me the lay`s number .My friends told me all that she had said.I couldnt wait to meet her again on Monday. 

After weekend,on Monday ,i came to the usual place and dialed the lady`s number .The lady  came quickly as she stayed in Dainfern ,one of the most afluent gated cummunities in Fourways,Johannesburg.We met in the car park of the shopping centre where me and my team were selling our products. She asked me to come into the car and seat for a moment. She introduced herself in the most humble way and explained while she gave me the coins the previous Friday.She asked me to tell her the message i had from God.I was shocked and confused by her request and i kindly told her that I am not a prophet but just a believer in Jesus Christ and a church member of a church organization that keeps God`s commandments and the Faith of Jesus Christ. I told her the only message i know is that Jesus is coming again, there is a great need for reformation to be done before that. This lady revealed to me that she was also believer in Jesus Christ and she and her famous ex soccer player are involved in ministry through their registered foundation. She encouraged me to start my own ministry and give the urgent message to the world.

I wrote a book but never published it.I recorded sermons on CDs but never distributed them.I got distracted with personal and business ambitions but this issue of ministry has always been blocking my path to success.Sometimes God can close all worldly ambitions to fall away so that his will can be done. I don`t think God wants me to be a pastor , we can not all be pastors. Sometimes Pastors are restricted and  forced to act in some certain ways within a set up system. We can all study scripture and finish this great work of the three angels message. We can do it in a humble way, considering others .We were also in darkness until Christ took us out of our helpless state into his marvelous light. God`s approval is better than men`s .  

The work done through 3amnews.org    

I have always wanted to publish this work since 2007 and 2008.I believe this little work i have tried to simplify and share with you is of solemn importance and of great value. I am not the first to proclaim this message neither am i the last. There are millions of us around the world. Believers who believe that Jesus indeed is coming again very soon.I pray that this work can reach millions on social media  and on billboards along Highways and on building walls in busy cities.I look forwad working with those sent my God to support this work through whatever means necessary.I pray hat the Lord forgives me for all the wrongs that i have done and for the people that i have offended unwillingly in the places of worship that i visit.I also pray for you for taking your time to read or listen to my testimony.

Deception in churches ,culture and everyday life.

Deception is everywhere .I have seen many things with my own eyes.I have heard many things with my own ears.. I have experienced encounters with al  types of people ,good and bad .I have seen spirits at work trying to persuade me into worshipping  so called ”Ancestoral Spirits”  in order for my life to prosper. Recognizing  and accepting your ancestoral geneology is good, calling upon their spirits to come into your life so you get rich and be protected from enemies is another thing. Many people in Africa and across the world are facing  this tempting  belief. If you believe in communicating with the spirits of the dead ,its your own choice ,i respect that. Isaiah 8:19 says  , And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? ²⁰To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them

Believe me , it is better to have total faith in  Jesus Christ than to trust any other spiritual entity or religious leaders . Religious leaders are human beings ,they can be deceived by the devil also . Must you put all  your trust in religious or spiritual leaders instead of God? God forbid , i repeat ,God forbid. You don`t know what goes on in the lives of  all or any of these religious or spiritual leaders ,especially the so called , “Man of God .Apostles ,Prophets ,Pastors etc. They are all human, they also get deceived by Satan .I was once approached by a certain pastor from another ministry/church. He gave me a prophecy of what was happening in my life. To cut the long story short, he invited me to his church. When i arrived, the congregates were in praise and worship service until the pastor/prophet arrived. He used me as a case study ,proof of his power to prophesy. I was shocked when he said his god is powerful and he must do a sacrifice to make my plans work. More over he said i must start worshipping with him, bringing my tithes and offerings every Sunday. Soon after that i knew, this was not God speaking .I prayed for the service to be over so i can run with my life. Not every Pastor or prophet is used by the power of God.Spirits know what you really want in life, just like God knows our everyday lives,dreams and the future. 

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 King James Version (KJV) says, “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Therefore know your God ,the one you serve ,know his voice and you shall not be deceived.

Respect those in power, those in appointed offices , but do not elevate them to God`s level ,where what ever they say, that is what must happen . No man must play God on earth .Time is coming when those you trusted will be revealed as friends or foes. Pray for me.I will pray for you.

STUDY SCRIPTURES . COMPARE WHAT YOU HEAR FROM THE CHURCH LEADERS WITH THE WORD OF GOD ,THE BIBLE SAYS.

LIFT UP CHRIST . HONOR HIM .TALK ABOUT HIS LOVE

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.

May you be found ready and prepared for that beautiful and glorious day.

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
