Light Bearers
"Concerning spiritual gifts I would not have you ignorant" Paul says this to the Corinthian church and I hear him say so today to all of us that 'Concerning spiritual gifts, you should not be un-informed' or even mis-informed
The Spirit life is our watch tower, it's where we have the advantage of perception, where we see ahead and afar by the help of the holy spirit.
The Spirit helps us address things accurately,
The Holy Spirit is not a spooky mist, He's God in us and His gifts belong to us, that we may exhibit the goodness of God
The news is we've already won, Satan and hell have been vanquished
There are no more needs for swords and shields,
However many Christians still struggle with getting a 'breakthrough', what could it be.
We must learn faith anew, know our place in Christ and what and where He has called us!
seems tough, but we must, else we lose out on what is already ours.
There is a new way to 'fight' after Christ, it's called the FIGHT OF FAITH
This is where the Church begins!
Christ Resurrected, His Spirit in us
The Holy spirit coming upon the disciples and hence all who would believe,
He will be in them all that JESUS was physically with them, but now they will have him personally
He will teach like the beloved Rabbi
Work miracles through them like the Healer
Just like Jesus!
Are you too far gone? have you lost your way by miles? or have the years rolled by without much harvest?
The Lord is for you, He brings it all together in his mercy and grace.
He will bring back your fire, renew youth, beautify your countenance and restore the joy of your salvations.
He will give you back your lands, and return to lushness those fields which you burnt with your errors, Yes he will show you mercy.
Your lambs shall return home and shall find silver again.
Take a hold of his hand and set your eyes on Him again.
He will restore!
There is grace for abundance, i mean material abundance.
and it's available for us, there's grace tp multiply bread and fishes,
Grace to obtain a bumper harvest of resources.
Jesus is the grace of God that appeared to all men,
We'll see in the bible how He wields the grace of heaven at every point of material need, showing us a pattern to follow
"For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men" - TITUS 2-11
Jesus ascends, He leaves his disciples, but drops an astonishing legacy, a royal mantle
He had once said the following in a teaching: ........." Do not be amazed that I said, ‘You must be born again.’ 8The wind blows where it wishes. You hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the spirit".......JOHN 3:8
the last part of that statement is something that was attested to only Him; ' a child of the Holy Ghost', but now, that will be said of the disciples
He will come on them as it was on Him
He will be in them a new life, as it was in Him
A well of living water, as it was with Him
And this will be the fulfillment of a promise he made to them, when he said "WHERE I AM YOU WILL BE ALSO!!!! John 14:3
WOW!!!!
The Holy Spirit is God on our inside, he isn't just our helper,
He is the presence of God in us, it's this essence that makes us Christians.
And we have this advantage, this guide, this awesome wind of God himself
see this:
" and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us." 2 Corinthians 1:22
you are not alone, Jesus redeemed us to God and made us habitations of Him
'IN MY NAME'
this phrase is one of the most profound in all of scripture. Jesus gives a license, a charge even to make demands in his name, to cast out evil spirits in his name, to even heal the sick!
Then the Onus is on us to find out more about it, you see the kingdom of God functions by knowledge(what we know): “May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord” 2 Peter 2:12 and if we will get the best of the wonderful name of Jesus, then let us find out why
We go through trials here in this fallen world, and often times we have lived experiences that contradicted the word of God, sending us into a spiral of anxiety, confusion and frustrations,
But what does the scriptures say about it, how does it come and most importantly how do we escape(For indeed there is a way of escape)!
Hear Paul: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
"BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL" This phrase rings out from eternity to you today!
look at this verses:
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Ephesians 5:8
Ephesians 2:1_3 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath
This was our state! we were once darkness,
We lived in a system and a real where God's manifest presence is not found with Satan as chief.
But now look at this now:
God's original plan initially was an arena of life and love, no fear. God does not inspire fear.
However when death came, fear was born, fear is a child of death. As man opened to eyes to a new reality which was anti-God, he began to be afraid till he evolved into a fear filled being.
But God has redeemed us, Love has come, salvation has come, But we must see what the Lord has done: It is written in
Proverbs 4:20-22: My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Today God still asks, What can you see?
Fear is a natural response intrinsic to human beings and most living creature. Yet the scriptures is full of admonitions, instructions even commands not to fear.
However God is fair and always points us towards a greater light, a reason not to panic, He is a safe place, His word has integrity, His Spirit is sure, He is with us and what He says; He will do, and What He said is done, is truly done! Only if we knew.
Abraham's blessing:
Death undone, salvation is here, the author of life has shared abundant life to those who believe.
Back to eden, with better promises,Mankind's King has made a better way, built on a more sure word of Prophecy, sealed with his Spirit,backed by a better lawyer who speaks better things.
Jesus washed us, cleaned, gave us a new name and a new heritage
He also brought us to a new place.
Prisoners receive presidential pardons at best for crimes committed against the state. The Lord took on himself our sins, gave us His name and His Spirit and caused us to seat with Him in the realms of heaven
We see how God forgives, his plan to forgive and how it was always his great intent to rid man of all his wrongs.
it was always His intent, He didn't 'evolve' into it, He was always the one who took away sins and imputed righteousness to those who believe
as the scriptures said:
'And we can see that it was while we were powerless to help ourselves that Christ died for sinful men. In human experience it is a rare thing for one man to give his life for another, even if the latter be a good man, though there have been a few who have had the courage to do it. Yet the proof of God’s amazing love is this: that it was while we were sinners that Christ died for us.( ROMANS 5:8)
God made us seat together with his son Jesus.
On a seat of mercy, so called because it's a place where God's wrath doesn't exist. A place of absolute acceptance because the blood of a spotless lamb was shed for us. There we are, seated with that risen lamb, Forever!
Jesus came with a Kingdom;
when he healed the sick and cleansed the leper and brought sanity to a human race at war within itself, it was a demonstration of His Rule.
A kingdom built on amazing grace and the power of an endless life
That kingdom is in us today and can be expressed in our lives and in the life of others only if we know it in truth.
Listen and behold the authority of Jesus over principalities and powers. An authority which he has shared with those who have believed on his name.
When Jesus walked this earth, he was quick and eager to meet the material needs of his followers and those who believed in Him, He never left them 'cap in hand', he pulled Peter out of business rescue, saved a poor bride from embarrassment at her wedding by making sure wine was supplied, fed a whole municipality supper in the wilderness. He was quick to supply.
God doesn't ever denigrate our request for monetary or financial needs, He delights when we come to him and trust for any matter whatsoever.
And he does so by the power of the Holy Spirit. God is Kind.
Philippians 4:19. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Like Pharaoh did for Joseph; bringing him out of the prison into the palace and making governor over Egypt, God brought us into His Kingdom rid us of all unrighteousness and gave us divine authority.
Over angels: to command help
Over demons; to stop their operation in our lives and the lives of others
Over others; To graciously love them regardless, and at all times
Over ourselves; to walk in self control and not in the lust of the flesh.
This authority works in us through the presence of the His Spirit in us!
'For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control': 2 Timothy 1:7
when last did you expect something impossible from above?
When last did you seek a divine hand? or have you written God off and given up on the spirit of faith.
My brother and my dear sister, you were made to be a recipient of God's helping hand.
The King and Prophet 'David' boldly proclaims 'I will lift up my eyes to the hills(the heavens) from whence comes my help, my help comes from the Lord, the Lord which made heaven and earth' PSALM 12O
You can say the same today, and you can experience the same today.
Jesus, your savior and friend is Lord and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Have you ever been in so much trouble and distress that you just needed to hear somebody or have someone listen to you?
Or when you've been anxious and needed a reassuring voice, well God speaks to us often, and His voice is mighty, it's written that the voice of God is like 'the sound of many waters', it baptizes, washes, soothes and drowns anxiety and fears.
He is our Father and His voice is like a roar that imparts strength to us, and puts us on our feet.
Jesus says 'The words that I speak to are spirit and life' John 6:33
Oh Lord may I hear your voice in the depths of my soul
May it ring loud where fear mocked me.
Speak to me lord, as I study your word speak to me, as I worship speak to me, in times of prayer speak to me
oh yo hear the voice of my heavenly father, who before angels speaks in defense of me
God is nor a deaf mute.
He speaks to his own
The scriptures beautifully describes the oral communication between God and the first humans
;" the voice of God was walking in the garden': Genesis 3:8
It reverberated everywhere
He has not change.
However we must first establish that his voice says nothing his word does not say. And it speaks in the very same tone as the fragrance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
His accent is redemption, forgiveness and love
He is not complex neither is he mystic and mischievous.
He is simply savior and Father. And so is his voice.
The voice of a savior, FATHER and friend
You serve a Father who is not just loving but is Lord of all, the gospel of Jesus is one of matchless grace and ridiculous kindness, however it must not be lost that He is mighty, Eternal and greater than all. He is Lord!
This is to our advantage, Paul prayed 'that we may know the exceeding greatness of His power towards us who believe'
Our Faith for the miraculous rests on the truth that God is mightier than all, He exceeds laws, time, space and is taller than anything and everything.
This is your Lord, and like Christians in Africa like to sing 'I have a VERY BIG God, and He is always by my side'
Faith for the impossible is not mysterious, Faith in God's comes naturally without effort when God's word is the dominant theme in our hearts.
When that happens we find ourselves naturally and effectively believing for things as the believers that we are. You are believer, you can believe for that healing and breakthrough in spite of the bank statement and doctor's report. You have the ability to draw from heavens wells.
"And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; - Romans 4 vs 18-20
This can be you! Yes You can believe! God made you that way. The more we commune and fellowship with the Lord, the more we come to that point of full persuasion and solid faith in Him. Where we know that what we have asked shall be done! This is what the scriptures referred to as 'The Prayer of faith': The fellowship that births faith,
Don't you ever say 'it's hopeless, i can't believe, i'll live like this' NO! Jesus says relax, walk with me, you will believe!
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4
God is not callous, He won't invite us to fellowship and hold answers back.
He is faithful and one of the first laws of prayer we must imbibe is to like Jesus say 'Thank you father for you hear me always' John 11:43
The prayers of a righteous man is a effective James 5: 20
The supernatural response to prayer isn't always spectacular, hence we miss it.
You are a believer in the Lord, He hears you, He hears you, and its ALWAYS!
Jesus did not only come to forgive us of all sins(which by the way is tremendous by the way!) he also gave us life.
listen here, it is written: For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.- John 5 : 26
and now this; He who has the Son [by accepting Him as Lord and Savior] has the life [that is eternal]; he who does not have the Son of God [by personal faith] does not have the life.
what is this life? the human life? No, it's a different kind, one which Jesus himself describes as a living water which kills the thirst of the soul forever.
Proverbs says this: A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones- Proverbs 17:22
Good medicine?, good medicine means it has no side effects!
it's good wine for the soul, oh don't we all need one in these times?
Guess what? it's also written: 'Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad- Proverbs 12:5
I bring you a goof word!
God gives us a way out, He says: 'To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified'
Wow, wow, wow,
How do we stir up this oil/gladness if indeed God has given it to us? The Bible teaches that one way is to avoid murmurings ,complaints and docility and instead be full of gratitude and thanks here even in the face of defeat. By this we give room to God's spirit to fill us.
Hear this:
Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you; instead, be filled with the Spirit. Instead speak to yourself with the words of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; sing hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts. EPHESIANS 5: 17-18
You know what, listen to this, there's so much more!
Have a blessed day.
We are for signs and wonders, as God's children, since we have a heavenly heritage we can and ought to experience miracles in our lives.
There is however a set time. The good news is that set time is determined by you,
You must absorb deeply the truth that God is faithful! His Mercy is abounds towards you, hold these truths close to your chest and never let them go.
"You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come" - Psalm 102:13
The Lord needs you to bring His glorious will to pass both in your life and in the world, your family needs you, your nation does too.
God has always used men and women like Moses and Deborah through inspired utterances to bring to pass glorious His will on the earth.
He has made us like himself in that regard, we are sent to bring healing, peace and deliverance to our world and in our own lives.
In prayer and deep fellowship with our fathers, answers from heaven drop like seeds in our heart, travelling to our tongue like magma to be released in words of love, grace and power. This is prophecy! This is how we win and build for Him
Jeremiah 20: 9: But if I say I’ll never mention the LORD or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It’s like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can’t do it!
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light!
'Oh my where are the Nine'? Jesus was stunned, He had just miraculously cured 10 men of a debilitating flesh decaying disease, a disease that basically meant they were cut off from society, He drew close to them, touched them and healed them. however only one came back to show gratitude!
where does ingratitude stem from?, entitlement is the sister of pride, a spirit that flourishes in the natural man, it is more natural to be thank-less than to be grateful.
But you see, we have not so learned Christ. God's will for us is thanksgiving.
Johnson Oatman wrote that song 'Count your blessings, see what God has done, Count your blessings every doubt will fly!
Thanksgiving bolsters faith!
Thanksgiving stirs an atmosphere for miracles.
Thankfulness is an atitude God's children must learn and master.
Are you ever burdened
With a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy
You are called to bear?
Count your many blessings
Every doubt will fly
And you will keep singing
As the days go by~ John Oatman
IF the lord came down from heaven to your room this day, what do you think his body language towards you will be?
hate/ disappointment?, approval? , rage?, what will be his approval ratings of you?
well it doesn't depend on you, it depends on Jesus, because of Him we have been accepted into 'the beloved',
We are those ones who are beloved of the Father. This awareness is key, it determines how you receive from God your Father. No one wants to stay in a company where they are despised or mocked, in today's parlance we will call that a 'toxic environment',
see this;
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Ro. 5:17 KJV).
you see, you are tagged in the scriptures as the ones who have received the abundance of grace and God's gift of righteousness.
This knowledge provokes genuine love and hunger for the Lord and hence empowers us with the will and grace to live rightly and free.
What a Savior, what a friend!
One of the ways Satan cages the believer in a spiral of sickness and unbelief is by condemnation. Satan has a habit of inflicting guilt on the mind of God's children. One of the results of this is the lack and absence of will and faith to receive healing from our Father.
It's very easy to forget that we are righteous and forgiven through Jesus Christ, and therefore its also easy to 'accept' a sick verdict or report as incurable.
We must rid ourselves of such thoughts and shut down satan and his accusations, We are forgiven, Loved and Healing is ours and it is here!
More so, because we are God's righteousness, we also can boldly pray for the healing of others and expect a miracle.
Consecration is a beautiful thing, the people of God from the centuries of old have always been known to show devotion in some form to an unseen being.
Some have termed it religion, rituals, vocation etc, but for us in Christ it is a proof of precious faith and a display of the same.
Our faithfulness to Him is rewarded by His own manifest faithfulness to us.
We must remember, we do not worship an idol nor a myth, but Jesus, the Son of the Living God who lives and abides forever making intercession for those who believe. He is worthy of our devotion
PROPHECY is not mysterious, all that prophecy speaks of in it's various ways is the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, His Victory on the cross on our behalf,
The testimony or witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, the bible says. The Spirit of God has only but one song and it's the song of our salvation, our deliverance, the wonderful and glorious works of Jesus.
And as we pray in the spirit, God brings to our knowledge and in our language, the songs, poetry, utterances of our Eternal Victory in Christ. And that my friend, is Prophecy, inspired words, tongues and interpretation.
This words when spoken out is God talking! you see why you should prophesy? it's Glorious!
Righteousness means Right standing with God, all of God's people in time past and even now wonder if they are in a good standing with Him, they try to build a reputation of good works to satiate their guilty mind. Even today, faux morality and manufactured outrage seems a hobby even non Christians have taken to, all in bid to 'please' a God they 'ignore'( hahahahaha!!!)
Can Righteousness be bought? Can it be earned, well hear this and see how God shames our pride, shows how muddy our ivory towers of morality is and reveals to us a Righteousness that is given to us freely by the Grace of JesusChrist,His son.
God's word is able to repair our souls: the natural heart is vindictive, selfish, spiteful and wicked.
But Here Comes Jesus, with a narrative of living that stuns a dog eat dog world. It's the greatest command, it's heaven's order, it's the Father's way.
To love the way He loves, to be imitators of Him. He not only commands, He gives our soul fuel for this task, He feeds our soul with what this speaker calls 'sufficient bread', He gives us HIS SPIRIT.
let me tell you a secret, every of God's children are prophets, A Prophet is one who harbors God's Spirit and has God's word on his tongue. This office is a proof of the grace and kindness of God who has made us partakers of the divine nature through his son Jesus Christ.
'Then our sons in their youth
will be like well-nurtured plants,
and our daughters will be like pillars
carved to adorn a palace.
Our barns will be filled
with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
by tens of thousands in our fields;
This is God's desire for His children.
When we fellowship with as children ought to with their fathers
then all of his grace pours on us!
The above then becomes our ready portion.
we abound!
You are not the weak to be trampled upon, you aren't without help. Jesus Promised that he would be with us through his 'Holy' Spirit, and This Spirit of His is not some nice cute puppy. He is the very might of God, all wisdom, all grace, all power, all Kindness, Just for us. The BIBLE tells us But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. What a reality!
When we made Jesus our Lord, He gave unto you and I are garment of praise, we were once prone to worry and anxiety, But Jesus removed the spirit of heaviness and gave us the Robes of Praise, He did this by making us Righteous and giving us the gift of 'NO CONDEMNATION'
Now in Him, let us offer the sacrifice of praise continually, that is the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to his name
For us to love like God, we must see how He loved. God loves you, and that's not just a verbal truth, it was proved empirically in time, Jesus is the manifestation of God's love: His life, death and resurrection was done with you in mind, we take a look at the great and deep sacrifice that is the incarnation of God and crucifixion of Jesus. If we are to be imitators of Him, let's then see how he loved.
This is good news, there is a peace that comes from God that no amount of therapy can give, and it's actually belongs to you, it's your right, Jesus paid it all for me and you, 'Peace be unto you', 'wholeness is yours' the Lord says. Let not your heart be troubled, God's Peace is yours
This is amazing news, the bible shows us how we've been brought into the household of God by faith in Jesus Christ. You are not alone, we've been baptized into one body, one spirit, We were made sons and daughters of God when we believed, we are members of the greatest family on earth, bound by perfect love. You are a child of Heaven!, You are a Child of God!
We have tweaked life to our own reading, and have redefined the 'S.I Unit' of what can be termed a good life and how to get it.
The wealthiest man in history says at the end of His life: "So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind"- Ecclesiastes 2: 17
There is a life however God has given us that can be enjoyed irrespective of where we are and any circumstance:
'Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day' - 2 Corinthians 4: 6
Hear this too: 'Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life- 1 John 5:12-13
There are things we don't strive for, things attached to our name simply because we said YES to Jesus.
These are the basics gifts from our father to us, here by default. First blessings
The 'emptiest' of Christians and the most fallen is still not empty, an empty vessel of gold is still gold, This message is to the Christian who is backslidden, down or unsure. But this is God's letter to you, 'you are still my disciple' 'my own' and this no man can take from you.
You are a recipient of God's enormous saving power being justified by faith in Him
It is written in Ephesians 2: 4
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
This is a reminder. We have been redeemed to God. The bible tells us that our citizenship is in heaven FROM WHERE we look eagerly to our savior.
He is not far, We are where He is. This is the reality of all those who have believed on his name. God is with you.
This is a reminder. We have been redeemed to God. The bible tells us that our citizenship is in heaven FROM WHERE we look eagerly to our savior.
He is not far, We are where He is. This is the reality of all those who have believed on his name. God is with you.
Jesus has given his glorious reputation to His followers, 'In my Name, you shall' He tells us,
All that He is; His righteousness and His Authority is vested in that name and He has graciously given it to us, to use to destroy the works of darkness and take a hold of all the victories he as wrought for us.
Learn how to use it.
Faith comes before understanding, in actual bible lingua, Faith is the understanding,
We already believe on the son of God, so the Good news is we are no different from Caleb, Daniel, Abraham!
By grace are we saved, through FAITH and this FAITH is God's gift to us.
We can stir it up in prayer by speaking aloud to our own hearing all that God has promised! and as our faith is rekindled, Power is stirred.
God wants us to have an attitude, and it's faith, all through the ages God's men and women have imbibed this dauntless nature, If we are to win for Him and for ourselves in this world and this age, then we must have the same Spirit of Faith, to receive our victories, healings, salvation of others, and many a glorious thing He has stored up for us, stores which can only be opened with valor and boldness in Him and His word.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule Proverbs 12 :24, we see this typified in the life of a shepherd boy who rose to prominence by the grace of God on account of this trait, He took responsibility on every matter, from sheep to nation, lion to giant.
Jesus gives us a wonderful parable in the book of Matthew 26, The Master praises and blesses his servant saying ; ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!
He expects that from us today in all our endeavors, He's glorified in it, and He glorifies us through it.
We are the light of the world Jesus says, and one of the ways we show forth that light is in our relation with our world, one of the rare rays of this light is faithfulness; integrity, honesty, commitment. Do all things without murmur(Philippians 2 : 16), Serve, as unto the Lord(Ephesians 6: 7), As Christians we ought to be found faithful and committed in the things we do, In this The Lord is Glorified in us and through us, and in this we are blessed!
In the garden God asks Man not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of Good and evil, that if they did, then they will die(Genesis 2:7)
Paul writes to the new creation to not 'be carnally minded, if we do, we give leave to death(limitation, corruption, decay)- Romans 8:6
We are rather to be to be spiritually minded for it is our Life and Peace,
Christ in us, is our tree of Life and his words to us are Spirit and Life.
Words are fruits, we either get sickened or nourished by them, especially words stemming from systems of truth we have imbibed, But we have believed the Lord Jesus unto eternal life, and He is in us a Tree of Life and we eat daily and give hear to God's word. For He said as the father said in the beginning to Adam, to eat from the tree of Life, for man shall not eat by bread alone for by every word that comes from God.
The Qualities of the God who has called us to prayer are remarkable, no one else is worthy of our attention, Hear John introduce Jesus to the Seven Churches; "and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first-begotten of the dead, and the prince over the kings of the earth. UNTO HIM WHO HAS LOVED US, and washed us from our sins in His own blood" That's enough. it's simply worth it.
Fall in love with your heavenly father again as we see that we were made to fellowship with Him, 'walk before me' he says, 'abide in me' He says again, from eternity to eternity He has called us to friendship and partnership, a relationship that makes we at most alive, at peace, prosperous, where we have great favor with God.
The story of Noah is an allegory of Man and Time, Jesus is the door to the Glorious ark of salvation today, and in Him we are saved, sheltered from the flood of judgement will be surely come. The Ark is wonderfully furnished; a new identity, a new name and a heavenly family.
A Prelude to the next podcast(ark of salvation) We see here the fall of humanity in illustrations and the plan of God for our redemption through Jesus Christ, the power of sin and the greater power of the cross
One of the striking things that faith does in the heart is the gift of an innate recognition of the Dominion and authority of God, a heart knows this is in the right place and is the perfect dwelling ground for Wisdom.
Walking in the fear of the Lord doesn't mean walking on egg-shells, it's walking in the beauty of His Lordship, For His name is higher than all, when we do it, we profit, the bible calls this humility, and this is the door to wisdom and divine increase.
You want to hear this!, the make up of the Christian, a Priest and King, who walks in godliness and divine authority, a holy offe-rer of Praise to God at the same time a righteous King, One who is called and enabled to tame this world according to the will of God. This is the truth, your truth.
Jesus is dear, so dear, we see it in His sacrifice for sins Yea the sins of the whole world, A King who gave His life for all that those who dare believe will come into a salvation that is eternal and after the power of an endless life, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST, OUR DEAREST JESUS!
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment YOU SHALL CONDEMN.
This is your heritage to dispel, restrict the works of darkness in your life and the lives of those around you.
For Jesus made you like He is, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, ordained to work light and dispel darkness.
In a world exploding with information here and there, how are we guided? Jesus speaks of the Spirit of truth who he sent into those who believe, those he chose before the world even began. A 'Spirit of truth' who is Just like Him(Jesus)
LIFE is like a sailor at night on the high sea. With science, culture and politics constantly re-inventing truth to their whims and fancies, our generation is bound for messy shipwreck of suicide hopelessness emptyness. No personalization of truth will ride this storm, no 'pronoun' will.However there in the horizon lies a Beacon that has stood tall for all ages clear as day, founded before time, and designed to outlast it for it made it. Find it.
The Christian has capacity to recalibrate their nation and bring it to the will of God in all things Eternal and Temporal. We can cause revival and stem wars and dross. We are not mere men
God has always been generous with himself, giving forth His Spirit as rain upon parched grounds. In former times great men and women did His will because He sent his spirit to them. When upon them, they were different, exceeding in wisdom, skill, boldness and might. It is to this day, even more so upon us who have believed in Jesus. God has lavishly given His children His Spirit as a constant WELL , that we may be filled with His power and Glory again and again and that we should (as he has purposed) demonstrate His love and Power and Glory towards all created beings.
Like the Scriptures said, Signs on Earth and Wonders in the heavens above. Just like the Apostles, Just Like Prophets of old and Just like Jesus.
Many times as Christians we find ourselves in dark corners and shadowy places .we wonder if there's any hope in sight.
Jesus said however, that He who follows Him shall have the light, He has also removed us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of his dear son. He did not lie
It however is Possible to experience Hell figuratively, and God knows this and that's why he says 'Let him stay upon His word until Light breaks forth,
Peter says this: We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
There is hope, there is way, there is Jesus, and as long as He is, There will be Glorious Glorious Light
Part 2
A deeper look into God's ways and thought for mankind, His intention FAMILY beyond laws. A desire He had even though stalled by the sins of mankind, He would put aside His Glory and Godliness to fulfill this in the incarnation and the death on the cross so as as the scriptures said:
"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace"
This was His desire, throughout the scriptures, reconciliation and redemption, Father and Family, Savior and friend
Emmanuel means GOD IS WITH US, a very wonderful reality, For God identified WITH US in this our sinful flesh and our humanity
This is the force of the divine Sacrifice, How that He is with us, and on our side.
In the eternal court of Justice, He is for us, in the battle against wickedness and oppression He is for us,
He is for us for all of eternity even Now.
God is not ignorant of our earthly needs and worries, neither is He removed from them. King David in Psalm 121 shows God's security detail and budget for His children.
In a world where much evil and insecurity abounds, we can trust in the Lord who is sure to send Help from above, He is the Lord who made heaven and earth. God knows more than we know of the perilous times of today. Jesus in John 16: 33, Echoes King David when said 'In this world there will be tribulation, but in ME you will have Peace' He tells us to be of good cheer.
These things has He Spoken that we might have rest of soul. and these sermon was also taught that you might have peace and know that WE HAVE OVERCOME.
Another look at a protocol of faith. Protocols are procedures by which somethings functions effectively. Heavenly gifts and realities have their own protocols as seen in the scriptures in the lives of those who walked in them.
Abraham believed God, He staggered not at God's Promises, He considered His body not dead, against Hope He believed in Hope. These are daring stances in world which throws its laws in your face. Yet the Spirit of Faith says 'I dare you', for faith sees the impossible, sees another reality, One which God himself as ordained, One which He calls us unto. A Victorious one, for the thought and plans towards us are good and not of evil. to bring us to an expected and assured end.
There is a hilarious idea that God was once a brutal dictator in the old testament breathing fire upon those who disobeyed, but somehow became influenced by Western rule and embraced 'democracy' when Jesus came, as though He went to a rehab. The Bible says otherwise, God has always been gracious and Kind and was ever so keen on justifying us through faith, His plan has always been a family, like Paul writes to the Ephesian church, 'Members of the Household of God, restored by Jesus Christ. He says this though the Prophet Jeremiah 'I will be their God, and they shall be my people
Jesus really didn't come to unveil a new testament, but to restore the true one, a covenant built of the sacrificial love of God and by faith in Him.
The Holy Scriptures says that God COMMENDED(Showed) His Love towards us in that when we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly.
Listen to this and see from the Scriptures God's mind, His will, His thought, HIS COVENANT.
Every time we fellowship with God in Prayer and in His word, somehow our heart gazes upon His beauty.
In a world where God is purported to be light years away or even non- existent, There is a way to find Him, see Him,
King David sore wished to find God in His temple(dwelling place) but today because of the work of Jesus, He abides in us
We live David's dream: 'One thing have I desired of the Lord and one thing would i seek after that I will remain in His house all the days of our lives'
We are His temple, and as we brood upon His truth and contend for the consciousness of His presence as we pray, WE SEE HIM, OUR HEARTS SEE HIM AND HEAR HIM, and abide in His love, grace and power/
The Scripture says, in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God concerning us, It's an attitude the saints of old understood, often times offerings, memorials and giving of thanks attended most of the goings and coming of Israel(God's People), creating in them a deep consciousness of the Presence of God in the midst of them furthering even more the Power and Grace of God for them.
Paul writes in his letter to the church in Thessalonica, Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus(1 THESSALONIANS 5:19).His following instruction is succinct, He says 'Do not extinguish God's Spirit', Very few virtues keeps our mind on our Lord like the Habit of being THANKFUL!
The Master said, Come unto me who labor, who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest for your souls. There is rest for all IN HIM, By Design we are the strong and mighty ones, The ones whose strength originates from our Heavenly Father who does not FAINT, by who's Spirit we were formed.
In Prayer and In Communion we take a Hold of this strength and our weaknesses ,fears and turmoil sublimates, for HE GIVES POWER TO THE FAINT, and to those who have no MIGHT, He Increases strength.
It's why He exhorted us to 'ALWAYS PRAY', not just for the answers, but as a means to take Hold of His strength, and come to a point where we are MIGHTY,STRONG AND UNFAZED.
Continued from ther last podcast, what is in Zion this city of God where we currently are. They that live there in shall not say 'I am sick'
What are all these 'fantasies', or are these realities, Upon Zion there will deliverance, and God's People will take that which is rightly theirs.
This is the city of God prophesied in times past. This is true Christianity. Where total deliverance is ours.
'You are the LIGHT of the world' is a classic statement made from the lips of our Lord Jesus. So simple yet profound and pregnant with so much meaning as seen in the prophecy of Isaiah centuries earlier, about a mountain that will be raised above the hills of the earth, and how all nations will flow into it. Isaiah further prophesied that Nations shall come to the light of this mountain and Kings to it's brightness. We are God's Mountain in Zion, A City set in His authority, the Glory of which cannot be hidden. Share with friends
The Kingdom of God and His Christ is the most distinguished institution of all time. More noble than Harvard and Bank of America. Time tested through the ages, maintaining the charter of freedom, deliverance and Grace since time began. God's faithfulness stretches to the skies the bible says, Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever, If there's any place one wants to spend the currency of his time with, then it's with God.
God-liness is profitable unto all things, Holding the promise of the life that now is and is to come.
This is a crucial message on preparing tomorrow's victories, the bible says that the prudent sees danger and averts it, while the simple walks right into it. With constant confessions of God's word, we can avert and put out tomorrow's fires and even more so, sow the seeds for tomorrow's vines so that in the future, we'd have barrels of the wine of God's goodness and Power to drink from.
IN Former times, many attributed supernatural events to God's doing, whether good or evil, they therefore did not contend nor fight it, "after all it was God'. Jesus of Nazareth comes and shows us that there is an evil one, and He is an enemy of God and of Humanity. Jesus shows this practically by displaying the Gracious Power of God in healing people and setting them free from all forms of satanic oppressions. He gives this same authority to His Body; The Church, heralding a new day and a new people who have dominion over darkness, He gave us His authority, Yea His Spirit, It still destroys Satan's works till this very day.
Who are you? We get asked this question at job interviews or at the embassy, all of life asks us this question everyday, wins or losses,poverty and prosperity, angels and demons, But Glory to God we have an answer, espoused by the written word, called by many names, 'forgiven' 'chosen' 'Righteous' 'Christ' 'God's own' 'The light of the world', These are our names, our tags, and the more we identify with them, the more darkness flees till like Jesus we can say 'The Prince of this world came, and has nothing in me'! link below
Leonard Ravenhill once said that 'prayer is the 'cinderella' of the church', we have cast her aside to the cinders, and have exalted other things', Prayer-less-ness deprives us of the comfort, strength and wisdom which God freely gives, Praying is to in the rain of God's grace,. We were designed to fellowship with Him, we are the temple of His dwelling, so burn and let incense rise.
Man has a natural propensity to chase bread, gold and silver either for survival, competition or dominance, often at the expense of his soul, his faith and with much pain. The rat race to gold and silver is one littered with pain, disappointment and bread that doesn't satisfy. But the word says that THE BLESSING from God makes rich without added sorrows, guess what, we all who believe are recipients of this blessing, This Blessing who is God's Spirit and Life is upon us now. We are blessed! Enjoy this and listen to it again and again! bless you.
It is written that God has not given us fear. Also written is the fact that His perfect love casts fear from our hearts.
So we no longer have to Harbour fear, as we have been raised to life through faith in Christ Jesus and ordained to walk in this new life.
A life fashioned in God's order where no fear abides.
seems impossible, but nothing is impossible to those who believe.
We are those ones who believe.
Paul prays a wonderful prayer for new Christians in Ephesus. It's succinct , what we have believed and hence received of Jesus is so super,phenomenal, yet eternal that it takes another stream of knowledge to comprehend and hence enjoy. The more we know Jesus and his deeds, the clearer it becomes and the more grace we partake of. In Him is hidden all the treasures,wisdom and riches of God. It's why Paul writes this letter to these newbies, praying that God gives them 'A NEW KNOWLEDGE' link to full message below
Jesus's sacrifice was for our glory.It wasn't an independent sacrifice where we stood aloof, we were there in his death and glorious resurrection. We are participators of His righteousness and glory. The bible tells us to reckon ourselves alive to God. IN HIM WE ARE HIGHLY EXALTED,ALL THAT HE IS WE ARE.
LOVE BEINGS, more than human beings, we do not make excuse for being selfish,unkind, or dishonoring of our neighbor because 'we are humans', we are more than that, we are love beings, we've been forgiven much hence we love more, even better is the fact that God has infused his very nature of LOVE in us the day we believed. We love not out of emotion or duress,we love because we have the capacity too, we have no enemies, we bear no bitterness, we are merciful, we are born of God, we are love beings. full message below
An expose on the power of praise and thanksgiving.
Christians serve a living God, singing and worship is not some ritual we do to pay obeisance to some god ,rather it's how we delight in Him
God dwells in the praises of his people. His Power is made alive in their rejoicing, songs and shouts of Joy.
Praise affords us the awareness of God's might on our behalf and drowns all fears, worries and anxieties that may brew in our hearts as we roam this fallen world. It's our escape to God's throne. It's our bell to call down our heavenly clouds.
We ought to practice the art of Praise and thanksgiving, lest we forget our divine roots and slip into complaints and despair.
Through it we stir up the joy,strength and power of our God already resident within us.
So sing, dance, and rejoice in the Lord. This is your strength.
Today, meditation has made its way to mainstream culture, be it through yoga, breathing exercises, company retreats etc designed de-clutter the mind
But many of the things they muse upon, have no life, the word of God is greater than 'happy thoughts'
It's living, powerful, sharper than any 2 edged sword, in fact a certain translation of the verse, says 'the word of God is Living thing' to brood upon the god's word is Christian culture,only therein do we lay-hold on the creative divine power that we share with God.
In fact centuries ago, a certain young man was troubled about filling up the shoes of the legendary prophet Moses, He was too rule Israel, a nation who was still smarting from the death of the man they called the deliverer, How would Joshua rule, guide, and invoke the power of God when necessary? God sits him down and says
Joshua, Do not be dismayed This book of the law should not depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night,observe to do all that is written therein, you will make your way prosperous.
Well Joshua did meditate and he won battles and wars back to back, divided rivers twice and commanded the solar system to stand still. God's word is life, in our hearts and mouth its power.
even to this day, even to this very day!
Today, Anxiety, angst, depression is rife,
But it starts with self-pity.
Self-Pity is an enemy of the Spirit of Faith,
An indictment on the faithfulness of God who is determined to save us.
God admonishes us not to be dismayed, but to be strong in Him and be courageous.
There's Glory in and for us,
He has given us great and precious promises, lift up your heads, walk tall.
The world longs for a super hero, to save, to deliver, to be a rock and to provide, it's why we are so obsessed with Marvel and DC Universe comic strips, the human soul longs for one that intervenes, and saves , one that rises to the occasion, We love Superman, We somewhere wish he was real. We want to see evil conquered, so we make new villains and kill them. But we have one who's been there and done that in real time.
Our Shepherd ,Our Hero, David in Psalm 23 reels out the super-powers of our Lord on our behalf, or like Paul described 'His exceeding great power towards us'
A savior who saves and delivers in anyway a being can be saved. Eternally, materially, mentally, etc. HE RESTORES MY SOUL!
He is my Shepherd, My Super Hero,
Christianity is not a religion, it's not shackles to the feet of it's adherents
It's not about keeping laws to earn approval
Jesus said He set us free, free indeed, He didn't mince words
Our Christian walk wasn't designed to be a burden, Abundant life is what Jesus said
Only Jesus truly sets free. He gives us a gift, NO CONDEMNATION
Then set's us aflame with His Spirit, installing in us the Nature of God, and rolling of our back the yoke of religion, sin, selfishness and all that chains the soul.
The very idea of the term freedom was borrowed from the bible, it's the world's greatest book on the subject matter.
Christ is the Land of the free. The King and Lord of the freeborn
His Empty Cross the true statue of liberty for all mankind
Free from sin and the flesh, free to serve the living God and to be the praise of His Name
'Where the Spirit of the Lord is, There is Liberty'
now listen and 'Stand fast in the liberty with Christ has made you free, and be not entangled with the yoke of bondage.
Jesus said 'Blessed are the Pure Heart for they shall see God'
But as the lovely savior that he is, he wasn't stating a benchmark,
But rather a grand plan of His to make pure all those who will believe in Him. You and I
Just as he told Zacchaeus that 'Unless a Man is born again He will not see God's Kingdom,
Yet In Him all will be re-born
Jesus is the archetypal savior, leaving no stones in His redemptive plan.
Purifying us, unveiling God in Himself and in our Hearts, making us clean/stainless by his blood
THAT WE ALL MIGHT SEE GOD, AND RECEIVE ALL OF HIS GLORY.
God has Prospered us.
In our hearts and in our land
We do not want for the comfort, certainty and assurance of the future that the world seeks to obtain with trust-funds,fat accounts and lavish homes
His word to us and His precious Spirit within us has provided these things
A rest on the inside and a rush of peace that the poshest of homes in the Beverly hills can't give
He has given us all things richly to enjoy(1 Timothy 6:6), hence our godliness with contentment is GREAT GAIN!(1 Timothy 6:6)
Moreover, concerning gold and silver he's there to multiply our seeds sown and gives us all grace that in all things we have all we need( 2 Corinthians 9:8)
That's why we trust in Him today BEYOND SILVER AND GOLD
A very interesting event occurs in the bible, a man, a noble man is in search for the one true God, the church is new and preachers of the risen Nazarene are scarce,
This man named Cornelius is desperate and prays all year long to find the truth .He does all good that Jesus in his teachings admonished, he gives alms, He is kind
God hears him and an angel appears to him in a vision
Now there's an unusual relay of information here, this angel, a celestial being asks Cornelius to send for man named Peter whose words will salvation to Cornelius's household
what does a mortal have that a being who lives in the very presence of God can't give.
God will usher salvation only through the words of a Christian Fisherman
Eternal life lay more in the embers of a believing mortal more than it did with an angel
This oddness repeats itself further in acts, This time Jesus himself would show himself to Paul who he would instruct to send for ananais who will open the latter's eyes and fill him with God's Spirit.
Jesus skips an angel and himself and places the ordinance of deliverance upon mere men
except they were not mere
For those who believe are the custodians of his grace and power
we are not just fellow colleagues at work
we are not just wives and husbands to our partners
we are not just siblings to our relatives
we are "blessers"
we command the blessing
we are bearers of light and of life
[we are EMISSARIES OF ZOE!
God has done a beautiful thing in us, He has lighted upon our hearts as flame on a candle, all of his perfection, wisdom and love all resident in us, as we learn more and walk with him, this marvelous light radiates, we are not like mere men, we are not inpatient, petty, rude, callous, selfish, we are full of love, faith, boldness, kindness and all that is God, We must reeducate our souls so the light upon the candle of our spirits can be seen,
Paul says, that the Communication of our faith(the radiation of this light) will become effective by acknowledging every good thing given to us in Christ Jesus.
We are accepted in the beloved
God has determined to love us and robe us in the image and identity of Hos glorious son
It's His final stance
It's the Highest pedestal a human being can be placed upon
To be accepted in God's Beloved.
God's word says we are 'accepted' in the beloved
the word 'accepted' means chosen, sought out, HIGHLY FAVOURED
We are not accidents, we are loved and chosen by God
We have a Wisdom from above, Given to us to use and tread this world
We have ability in Christ Jesus that makes us victorious in this world
Paul tasks the church to 'walk in the Spirit and they will not fulfill the lust of the flesh'
what does it mean?
To walk in the Spirit means to walk in the direction of an inward life
A life of Glory which God installed when we first believed.
God abhorrs Hopelessness IN His Children
He has given us His word, and on the Promises we stand
The Hope of the world provokes anxiety,
The Hope of God's word inspires Joy,
For He is True
God CANNOT LIE!
Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
Even the darkest of nights, we can dare to hope,
dare to imagine victoty
For we believe in a one who raises the dead!
In the final of this
we hear this
God's wisdom is given us in His son to triumph in a dark world,
where we shine as lights!
But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God has been unto us Wisdom
By His Wisdom, The worlds were formed
By this sceptre was salvation ordained
By the same does all of his goodness flow
This Wisdom is Personified in Jesus who is ours
By this wisdom will we who believe partake of His divine nature and savor our world with glory of his goodness
Glory means 'wealth,extra-ordinary advantages, favour, illumination' this glory is exuded as we fellowship more with Him, It's our right our heritage, it should not be neglected.
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Now we have this treasure in jars of clay - PAUL
Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem. As a priest, Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! Then he sat down right beside God and waited for his enemies to cave in. It was a perfect sacrifice by a perfect person to perfect some very imperfect people. By that single offering, he did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process. The Holy Spirit confirms this:
This new plan I’m making with Israel
isn’t going to be written on paper,
isn’t going to be chiseled in stone;
This time “I’m writing out the plan in them,
carving it on the lining of their hearts.”
He concludes,
I’ll forever wipe the slate clean of their sins.
Faith starts when we know and affirm within ourselves that we are loved of God. Listen to this😊
Cast your bread upon many waters and you will find it after many days! There is power in consistently speaking to our future and our days as inspired by God.
Prayer may be a dialogue between us and our heavenly father,but He still inspires us and helps us to speak with Him,He bears us up and gifts us words that are precise and accurate so that we'll witness his power and glory. This is Prophecy,Precision,Divine Accuracy! PROPHECY 2

In Prayer we have rights,strange rights, that's why the Lord wants us to make requests especially on behalf of others and our world,we can bring healing to the downtrodden and broken,we can 'buy' mercy from heaven on their behalf. ACCESS Part 1
Another Look at the death of the Man Jesus,and what it means for us today,fall in love with the Master once again.
King David centuries ago knew a form of God others dared not to see,a form God himself would show publicly in word and in deed through his Son Jesus.A form of God that would shatter religion norms.
Centuries ago King David gave a song of adoration that became a prophecy:
"He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies" - Psalm 103:4
This is our song today.

Oh How God wants us to prosper in our finances,he is not passive about it,He has prepared a table for us,he doesn't want us in debt and confusion,The bible talks about true riches, enjoy this.
Do you know one of the most beautiful description of the Christian is 'Child of the day'? Why did God call us that? it's a literal description of what he wrought in us,learn why and how to live indeed as a child of the day. This is yours
Humans are afraid of the passing of time,we often fear that as it travels so do our hopes and dreams.But God is faithful,a second is enough to redeem,restore,renew as though there never was a loss. He is the Promise Keeper! listen let hope arise in your hearts,it's time to believe again,this time in Him with whom nothing is impossible!
God Promised everyone an awesome gift aforetime,it wasn't gold or silver,it was His Spirit! So awesome is this Spirit,the bible calls it 'Holy', this promise set off a fountain for other promises.
why the name of Jesus?, How powerful is it? If Jesus asked us to use his name which he did,then it behooves us to know why so we can make full use of his graciousness😊
Our mouths in faith and prayer are powerful tools.They are the sword angels use to war on our behalf,you are more powerful than you think.
We are made right in God's sight through Jesus, but what are the rewards of this awesome gift?😍😍😍
In a world of different political views,distress,social uprising, it's tempting for us to be sunk in distress and look to earthly things for succor,but the Bible shows a way,a better to a peace that's beyond this world,a Peace as a river
Thousand years ago,Mankind sinned and fell into sin and death,
destruction ravaged for centuries
God promised an amend
Mankind will be forgiven,his sin won't be counted against him...
years later,an adulterous woman was cast on the feet of Jesus the Nazarene
He would later be declared to be God's son by the resurrection of the dead
He does something unheard of, a foresight of the fulfillment of a promise made before time began;He declares her not guilty
He writes in the ground
a new law
a new order
He will fulfill it
it's the New testament of God
it begins with the gift of Righteousness!
THE FIRST AMMENDMENT! hear t
od has qualified us in his son, Giving us the right to make demands in his name, this he has done because of righteousness
Thanksgiving is the highest form of prayer and a vital strategy in winning with God's Power on earth..
God has designed that we live above the circumstances of life and not be swallowed by them...He gave us his word,to thrive and rise the limitations of this world
You'll love this exhortation about feet washing, what it really means and oh what wonderful blessing lies in it
In times of despair, Our Lord remains faithful,He offers hope as an anchor. In the day and in the grey,He is there!
We walk in faith because Jesus proved the power of faith, He showed it's Integrity, God and His word have Integrity thus Faith does too.
