I Knew You Before I Formed You In Your Mother's Womb

Spirit, Soul, Body, The Demonic & Deliverance

Jeremiah 1:5

““Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/114/jer.1.5.NKJV

We humans are made up of three parts, spirit, soul and flesh.
Our spirit pre-existed possibly at creation or before, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (his or her pre-existent spirit) ; and man became a living soul."
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬ ‭KJV
‬The Holy Spirit is described as like a wind (JOHN 3:8), and that man kind was created in the image of God (GENESIS 1:27). One can make the assumption that the human spirit is in the image of God’s Spirit and at birth is like a wind and God breathed it into one’s flesh and he or she became a living soul.

The Bible addresses spirits and the afterlife, often differentiating between the Holy Spirit and fallen angels, spirits and demons. Key verses regarding spirits, demons, and the afterlife include Luke 24:39 ("a spirit does not have flesh and bones"), 1 Samuel 28:13-14 (the medium at Endor), and Isaiah 8:19 (warning against consulting the dead).

Our spirit, all though it came from God, is separate from Gods Spirit.

When saved, one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18), who joins with his or her spirit, and he or she becomes one spirit with Him (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
For, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬If not saved, he or she doesn’t even know the Holy Spirit or sees Him (JOHN 14:17) and remains separated from God, and eternal death is inevitable.
The Word of God tells us of a pre-mortal spiritual existence that emphasises that God knew us before physical conception, indicating a spiritual life before birth.
Key verses include Jeremiah 1:5 ("Before I formed you in the womb I knew you"), Psalm 139:15-16 says being "woven together" while unseen, and Job 38:4-7, mentions "sons of God" shouting for joy at the earth's creation.
The sons were shouting at the creation of the earth.
Paul said, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬God chose and blessed His people with spiritual blessings before He laid the foundation of the world.
The sons had to be spiritual beings (persons) receiving spiritual blessings shouting at the creation because they already existed in the spiritual realms at the time of creation.
A spirit is a person who has no physical body.
““Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”"
Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬God knew Jeremiah before he was in his mother’s womb. He had no physical form, therefore, he was a spirit, a person without physical flesh.
He ordained him a prophet when he had a physical body after conception when he was in his mother’s womb before he was born.
Since the two realms are either physical or spiritual, God knew him as a spirit being before he was conceived.
The Scripture shows us that their was an individual pre-spiritual existence before we became human beings.
The fallen angels are the unclean spirits and demons of today.
They pre-existed and were thrown out of heaven (REVELATION 12:7-9).
These fallen angels are equated with unclean spirits (demons), representing spiritual beings who followed Satan in rebellion against God.
They are described as evil, unholy, and active in tormenting people or hindering God’s work.
Demons are demonic spirits, under the control of principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age; they are spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places (EPHESIANS 6:12)
These demonic entities are individually named, proving that all spirits are individual spirits (persons without physical bodies) that exist separate from one another.
"My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them."
”‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬Here David points out that God saw his substance before he was physically formed, and the days were fashioned for him, yet there were none of them. This is talking of time before creation, before the days came into existence. This again suggests a pre-spiritual existence, not just before we was physically born, but before the beginning of creation itself.
God’s “own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began."
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬Gods Word time and time again, tells us of of a pre-spiritual life before we was in our mothers womb.-“Grace was given to us before time began.
”"Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation (JOB 34:4), while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy (JOB 34:7)?” This is confirmation of the premortal existence of spirits.
“And the dust (flesh) returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it

(EPHESIANS 22:7).
This tells us that God created our, spiritual life in the heavens, not on earth before we was born. In fact, before the creation itself, and that when we die, our flesh returns to dust and our spirit shall return to God in the spiritual realms where it came from.
God knew Jeremiah before he was in his mother’s womb, but at birth, he became a living soul (GENESIS 1:27).
According to God’s Word, the soul represents a person’s inner being, our consciousness, mind, will and emotions, and life force, described as created by God at birth “we became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).
”Our soul at times is needing restoration (Psalm 23:3), and holds eternal values (Matthew 10:28).
It is frequently associated with loving God entirely (Deuteronomy 6:5).
Our soul didn’t pre-exist before birth, it became a living soul at birth.
The Word does not explicitly use the term "soul ties," but it does discuss profound spiritual and physical bonds between people.
While some interpretations view them as spiritual attachments that can be unhealthy, Scripture predominantly emphasizes "one flesh" in marriage unions (Genesis 2:24) and close, godly friendships (1 Samuel 18:1), rather than broken soul fragments.
The Bible describes marriage as a sacred, "one flesh" union intended to be a protective, deep connection

(1 Corinthians 6:16, Genesis 2:24).
The Bible uses language of souls being "knit" together to describe loyal, righteous friendships, such as that between David and Jonathan (1 Samuel 18:1).
While the Bible does not use the term "soul ties,” that is exactly what they are, mans description of soul connections being knit together through relationships.
Scripture cautions against immoral relationships and becoming bonded to improper partners, such as a prostitute (1 Corinthians 6:16) or idolatry (Hosea 4:17), for they produce un-godly soul ties.
The breaking of unhealthy emotional or spiritual bonds (cutting un-godly soul ties) is necessary for true freedom in Christ.
Soul ties knit person to person, which brings closeness and develops relationships. But un-godly soul ties knit people together one person to another through sin, and is a pathway for the demonic to enter from person to another. Sin in each person is an entry point for the demonic spirits to enter one person’s flesh, and can then travel through the ungodly soul ties from one to another and demonise/ possess all connected.
Familiar spirits are demonic entities that acts as a deceptive guide, from a dead person, ancestor, or spirit guide to provide supernatural knowledge, often through a human medium.
Rooted in the Hebrew word 'ob (representing both the spirit and the medium), these spirits are considered "familiar" because they know the personal history, weaknesses, and habits of individuals or families, aiming to lead them away from God.
These are unclean spirits that channel information, often via necromancy (contacting the dead).
They mimic God’s presence and create confusion to foster bondage, idolatry, or rebellion.
God’s Word strictly prohibits consulting them. Leviticus 19:31 and Deuteronomy 18:10-12 command against seeking out mediums or wizards, declaring them a source of defilement.
.The term 'ob implies a hollow vessel or skin bottle, suggesting these spirits seek a human host to fill and speak and operate through.
Familiar spirits, are often evil spirits of late relatives, looking for a body to enter and possess, for theirs is deceased.
These are evil spirits (persons without bodies), that come like all unclean spirits and demons, to steal, kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10), by taking up residence within one’s body because theirs is dead, justified by sin to take possession.
They bring sickness, mental health issues, suicidal thoughts, depression, fear, torment, addictions , and all kinds repetitive sin, while filling one sub-conscious mind with false doctrines, and lies. These are strong holds of the mind and only God through prayer and deliverance, can they be torn down (2 CORINTHIANS 10:4).
Not only does our own sin let these devil’s in, but also the sins of our ancestors.
The Bible teaches that while individuals are not legally condemned for the sins of their ancestors, they often bear the temporal consequences and destructive patterns passed down through the generations, because these demonic entities pass through the blood lines from parents to children because the “life is in the blood (LEVICTICUS 17:11).
”Scripture emphasizes personal accountability for one’s own sin (Ezekiel 18:20), while also noting that God visits iniquity to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Him, which is a cycle that can be broken through repentance and submission to Christ.
Ezekiel 18:4 and 18:20 states, "The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father...". Each person is responsible for their own actions, not those of their parents.
Sins like idolatry or abuse can create destructive patterns, broken relationships, and poor moral examples, that affect the subsequent generations and even bring hereditary diseases, illnesses and mental health issues.
Exodus 20:5, 34:7, and Numbers 14:18 mentions God visiting the iniquity of the fathers on children to the third and fourth generation, which is generally understood as the long-lasting negative impact of sin, because these demonic entities are passed down through the blood lines from generation to generation.
These are known as generational curses. These ancestorial ties must be cut, the generational curses broken, and like all unclean spirits and demons, must be called out and evicted, with every un-godly soul tie cut, and every strong hold of the mind torn down, before true freedom and healing can be achieved.
Furthermore, hurts, trauma’s and the scars of our past bring strong holds of the mind, and with them, unhealthy default behaviours that can re-open doors to the demonic that must be dealt with before one is truly free.
But my beloved, everything was paid for at the cross, even our shame. But “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed."
”‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬All glory to God forever and ever! Amen

Commit To The Lord Whatever You Do, And He Will Establish Your Plans

Achieving Peace, Security, & Favour, Is Key To A Blessed Life

PROVERBS 16:3
“Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16:3‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/pro.16.3.nkj

Proverbs 3 gives us a godly path to a blessed life through total reliance on God rather than human understanding.
Trusting God completely, acknowledging Him in all decisions, fearing the Lord, and embracing wisdom to achieve peace, security, and favour are key to a blessed life.
The chapter highlights that true wisdom provides divine guidance, protection, and long life.
Some people only commit their work to the Lord superficially. They claim the project is being done for the Lord, but in reality, it is their own desire, plan, or outcome they desire.
The same can be said in churches. Some leaders build their own fire, rather than fuel the fire God established.
Even in some sermons and worship, rather than glorify God, and I’m not saying all, but both the leaders and the congregation worship the music, or the sermon, or the performance, and it becomes an idol.
Many give God temporary control of their interests, only to take it back the moment things stop going the way they hoped, and others commit a task fully to the Lord, but put no real effort into it themselves. No wonder so many good plans fail to succeed.
The core message of this chapter emphasizes trusting God with all your heart, not just part of it, and actively acknowledging Him in all aspects of life
(verses 5-6).
Verses 7 warns us against arrogance, urging us not to rely on our own flawed understanding, feelings, or intellect.
It is important to commit every plan to God before we start, being certain it is of God, maintaining a delicate balance of trusting Him as if everything is dependent on Him, but at the same time, working like everything is dependent on us.
Furthermore, when a project is not going to plan, before taking any different actions , ask God for direction.
Wisdom is portrayed as a treasure that brings long life, peace, and security (verses 13-26), and if we are to be successful, we need to ask for God’s wisdom, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, as Christians, we must remember that we are servants of God, not the other way round. The outcome is God’s outcome, not ours.
My beloved, ask God at the start of every day, “Lord, what is Your plan for Me today? As Paul told us, if You stay close to God and ask, He will not only give you the desire to do His will, but also the power to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
But His instruction is often step by step, so be patient and wait on the Lord. Don’t try to go ahead of Him our great teacher, for everything is in His perfect timing not yours.
Verses 27-35 highlights basic practical behaviours of Christian life, including honesty, generosity, and avoiding unnecessary conflict, which will result in finding favour with both God and people.
The truth is, You can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13), but only when you give Him full control and one remains totally obedient to His instruction however bizarre that may seem.
Hesitation and fear will bring panic and discontent, while obedience will bring peace.
My beloved, God is always right.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Fear God & Obey His Commands, For This Is Everyone's Duty

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 07:00:55 GMT

Walk By Faith

ECCLESIASTES 12:13-14
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.
”‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/ecc.12.13-14.NKJ

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 serves as the final conclusion to the book, stating that after exploring the "vanity" of life, the ultimate purpose is to fear God (show reverence/awe) and keep His commandments. It highlights that all actions, including hidden ones, will be judged by God, ensuring that true justice and meaning exist beyond earthly life.
Solomon, in his conclusion, presents his antidotes for the two main ailments presented in this book-purpose and direction.
The whole duty, often translated as "man's all," implies that fearing God and obeying Him is the complete obligation, purpose, and purpose of humanity. It is not a burden but a way to find true fulfillment in life (verse 13).
Those who are lacking purpose and direction in life should fear God and obey His instructions regardless of how bizarre they may seem.
Life can seem very unfair at times, but we should remember that God will review every person's life to determine how he or she has responded to Him, and He will bring every deed into judgement, for their will always be consequences for our actions, both good and evil.
The book of Ecclesiastes cannot be interpreted correctly without reading these final verses.
Whatever mysteries and apparent contradictions of life are, we believers must work toward the single purpose of knowing God and building a relationship with Him.
Solomon shows us in Ecclesiastes, that we should enjoy life, but we are not exempt from obeying God's commands. We should search for purpose and meaning in life, but they cannot be found in human endeavours. We should acknowledge the evil, foolishness, and injustice in life, yet maintain a positive attitude with strong faith in God.
All people will have to stand before God and be judged for what they have done or have not done in this life, and we must understand that we will not be able to use the inequities of life as an excuse for failing to live according to God’s plans and purposes.
Therefore, we must take responsibility for our own actions.
My beloved, because God sees everything, including "secret things," every action (good or evil), all will be brought to light and judged, ensuring ultimate accountability (verse 14).
Furthermore, we need to recognise that human effort apart from God is futile, and that we need to put God first in every aspect of our lives, and receive everything good and every command as a gift from God regardless, and realise that God will judge every person's life whether good or evil.
My beloved, ”“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Fear of God is not a terrified, paralyzing fear, but a reverent awe and deep respect for God's supremacy and holiness.
Obedience is the direct result of fearing God, proving one's faith and love for him. It is seen as a way of living according to God’s wisdom rather than human, futile, efforts.
Obedience is not always easy, for as the Lord spoke through His prophet Isaiah, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Obedience can take serious faith when Gods assignment doesn’t make sense to us, or it appears dangerous or even wrong.
But we know that God is always right, and by faith alone, we must remain obedient.
We cannot be saved by the works of our flesh, for that places us under the Law of which we have already broken.
Salvation comes by faith alone, by which we are no longer under the Law, and all things are pure by faith (TITUS 1:15), “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Those Spirit led “good works” may even appear sinful to people, but they are perfect and correct because God is always right and we are not under the Law.
My beloved, by faith alone, God’s favour is appointed to believers who walk by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
“By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we all have a choice, it’s Jesus way or my way. We either walk in the Spirit or not.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus way will lead us to our Father in heaven and eternal life (JOHN 14:6), but every other way shall lead us to eternal torment.
As we ponder over the things of this world, we can see our eternal future is in sight; it’s alll but over.
The evil of this world is plain to see, and we all have a choice to make. That choice will determine our entire eternal future; it’s the kingdom of light, or the kingdom of darkness. That is to believe or not to believe; that is to walk in the Spirit, or to walk by the flesh (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
My beloved, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”: While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain; In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim; When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low. Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “All is vanity.” And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth. The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man’s all. For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.“
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Seek You With All My Heart. Do Not Let Me Stray From Your Commands

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 05:33:31 GMT

How Can A Young Person Stay Pure?

PSALM 119:9-11
How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:9-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.119.9-10.NKJ

Psalm 119:1-11 is a wisdom based passage highlighting that true happiness ("blessedness") and purity are found in wholeheartedly following God’s word, rather than walking in sinful ways. The psalmist emphasizes that integrating scripture into daily life—hiding it in the heart—is the primary defense against sin and the key to living a life of integrity and obedience.
The world today is like a sea of sexual images and sinful attractions. Everywhere we look we find temptations to fill our minds with thoughts of immoral sexual fantasies and relationships that God would not approve of.
So much so, that sexual immorality has become so normal it is no longer considered sin and is seen as acceptable “normal behaviour” and has become a part of every day life.
Sexual immorality has even become a part of the curriculum taught in our schools to our children.
Truly I tell you, we are drowning in a sea of sexual immorality, images and sinful attractions.
However, true happiness comes to those whose lives are "blameless," not implying perfection, but rather a dedicated, sincere effort to walk in God's ways. Verses 1-3 describes a life with undivided loyalty to God's statutes.
The writer asked a question that troubles us all: How do we stay pure in this contaminating environment?
God’s commands are to be followed diligently. The psalmist expresses a personal longing for consistency—to align his actions with God's rules so that his life reflects God's character (verses 4-6).
The truth is, we cannot do this in our own strength; we must have counsel and strength more powerful than the tempting influences around us.
Only by reading God's Word regularly, doing what it says, and by praying and walking by the leading of the holy Spirit can we find the strength and wisdom needed to keep us pure.
The truth is, we cannot remain pure in our own strength, therefore, it is Christ in me that does it (GALATIANS 2:20-21).
Hiding (keeping) God's Word deep in our hearts is a deterrent to sin. This should inspire us to memorise Scripture, but memorising alone will not keep us from sin; we must put into practice everything we learn, putting God's Word to work in every part of our lives, making it a vital guide for everything we do.
But what does it say regarding a man or indeed a woman who is struggling with lust?
Paul said, “But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭7:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many Christian couples in this world today see sexual relationships or living with one another outside of the covenant of marriage as “normal and righteous” They say, “it’s acceptable now, everyone is doing it.”
My beloved, it might be acceptable by world standards, but it’s not acceptable in God’s kingdom, and my advice to you is, repent, turn toward God and get married ASAP.
Jesus paid the debt of the sin of the world with His own blood (COLOSSIANS 1:14), and therefore their is no condemnation for those in Christ (ROMANS 8:1), but He paid a high price for our freedoms to serve Him, not to continue in sin.
The indwelling holy Spirit guarantees your eternal future (EPHESIANS 1:13-14; 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22), but all sin gives a foothold to the devil and a license to kill, steal, and destroy (JOHN 10:10).
Therefore my beloved, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.“
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It might seem like there’s no negative consequence to sin at the time, but all our actions, both good and evil, will bring consequences in time.
Sexual temptation is very powerful and drags many into sin. For that reason, Paul instructed the married, “Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭7:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, do not deprive your spouse except “if you both agree” for a time of fasting for the Lord. Then break the fast, just as you eat when you break the time of fasting, come together as instructed, so that the time of fasting has a start and finish, and Satan will have no place to get a foot in the door and temp either you or your spouse into immoral thoughts or behaviours.
You may not be hungry, but your spouse might be; he or she has no other righteous way to satisfy his or her hunger.
For this reason, Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth (MATHEW 28:18), has given your spouse authority over your body, (1 CORINTHIANS 7:4).
Some may complain, seeing satisfying their spouse as a “job”, but not if they understand God’s selfless love and the principle that it is better to give than to receive-that it is then when sexual relations become pure and intimate.
Either way, sexual relations is a part of the covenant one makes with God and to their spouse when one marries.
My brethren, “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
How then my beloved can a young person stay pure? By obeying God’s Word.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

This Is How We Know What Love Is: Jesus Christ Laid Down His Life For You

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 05:58:16 GMT

We Ought To Lay Our Lives Down For Our Brothers & Sisters

1 JOHN 3:15-18
“Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭3:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.3.15-18.NKJ

John echoes Jesus' teaching that whoever hates another person is a murderer at heart (MATHEW 5:22-22).
We believers must show ourselves as different, as loving honest people, even toward those who wronged us.
Does not every one of us wrong God when we choose sin? Yet He shows no bitterness towards us, but rather, He sent His only begotten Son to take our place on a cross, that we might be saved.
Bitterness against someone is like a cancer growing within and will grow and grow and bring forth death.
My beloved, unless removed by the root, it will eventually destroy you.
Bitterness comes through many roots, such as jealousy, pride, and offence, and un-forgiveness.
Jesus demonstrated His love when He gave up His life to pay our debt of sin on a cross, even though He Himself never sinned.
Real love is an action, not a feeling or an emotion. It produces selfless sacrificial giving.

This is how we know what love is-Jesus Christ laid down His life for you.

God revealed His love to us-“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The greatest act of love is giving oneself for others, by serving others with no thought of receiving anything in return (JOHN 15:13).
Sometimes it is easier to say we will die for others rather than to truly live for them, which involves putting others needs before our own.
Jesus taught this same principle of love in John 15:13.
Verses 17-18 gives an example of how to give up our life for others-to help those in need without expectation of reward. This is similar to James' teaching (JAMES 2:24-17).
Do your actions show that you really love others? Do you hold a grudge against anyone? Grudges not only come when someone has wronged us, but also through jealousy and offence, and are held in place by pride; furthermore, if not dealt with through repentance, shall bring about death. “A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14:30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jealousy and pride are like a cancer growing within. Jesus said, “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Are you as generous as you should be with your money, possessions, and time?
Do you do your part to fund your church and serve?
Giving, whether to your church or to the needy enthusiastically without expectations, glorifies our God, and the blessing shall pile up in heaven for you.
As Jesus told us Himself, ““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬
My brethren, actions speak louder than words; now is the time to humble yourself before God and ask Him to help you remove all jealousy and pride, and to soften your heart that you can make a firm decision to forgive all who have wronged you.
Now my brethren is the time to get serious and sacrificially serve God and others by the leading of the Holy Spirit. That is love and opens the door to life, because when you choose to forgive others their sin, our Father in heaven will forgive you yours (MATHEW 6:14-15).
My beloved, we are all individual parts of one body, the body of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11), and each has a part to play. Jealousy, pride, and selfish ambitions bring dismay and division in the church.
It’s not us who choose our part, but the head, and every member falls into one of the categories of Christ’ five fold ministry, apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelist and are gifted accordingly to help and edify one another.
“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles? Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬-‭31‬ NKJV
That’s Jesus way, and His way works.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

And Let Us Consider How We May Spur One And Another On Toward Love

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 05:52:35 GMT

Enter The Holy Of Hollies

HEBREWS 10:19-25
“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:19-25‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.10.19-25.NKJ

How can we go right into the presence of God?
We can not come half heartedly or with improper motives or pretence, but with pure, and individual worship. We can know that we have "sincere hearts" by evaluating our thoughts and motives according to God's Word (see 4:12).
We Spirit filled believers can approach God boldly, free from our "guilty consciences" and in full assurance of the work of Christ Jesus.
We can go to God without doubting, with the knowledge that He will hear and answer us.
Under the new covenant, our hearts and consciences are cleansed completely, not partially or temporarily (see 9:14).
Our clean consciences allow us to enter God's presence with boldness.
In Old Testament times a priest would enter the Holy of Holies once a year to ask for mercy for the people (HEBREWS 9:7). He would have a rope attached to his ankle or waist because if he had any sin in him, he would not come out alive, and therefore, he would be pulled out by the rope.
But today because Jesus paid our debt of sin with His own blood, we believers can enter fully in by the blood of the Lamb because despite our past sins and future mistakes, the slate is clean (ROMANS 8:1).
My brethren we believers are truly blessed because Jesus is the High priest that pleads our case for forgiveness, and since He is the coming judge that shall decide our eternal future, our future is sealed in heaven.
The imagery of our bodies having been "washed" with pure water and by blood (1 JOHN 5:6) actually pictures an inward cleansing that Christ completes.
Just as baptism is an outward sign that represents the purification that Christ does inside us, so this washing speaks of an internal cleansing from sin.
Once cleansed, we can approach God with boldness.
As Christians we have significant privileges associated with our new life in Christ.
We have personal access to God through Christ and can draw near to Him without an elaborate or complicated system (10:22); we can grow in faith, overcome doubts and questions, and deepen our relationship with God (10:23); we can enjoy motivation from one another (10:24); we can worship, study, and pray together (10:25), even more importantly, we have the indwelling holy Spirit to teach, lead, and guide us in all truth (JOHN 14:15-18), who is also our guarantee of salvation (EPHESIANS 1:13-14); 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22).
To neglect Christian meetings or attend a fake church, is to give up opportunities of encouragement, to grow, learn, and to help and encourage other believers.
Assembly isn’t optional, it is a command from God and apart of every believers service to the Lord within the five fold ministry of Christ, where every member of the congregation is an individual part of the whole body and all are called to do there part. “And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, every member falls into at least one of the five categories of Christ’ ministry-apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelist, and is called to operate accordingly (EPHESIANS 4:11).
If it’s not Christ’ five fold ministry, your attendance will profit you nothing, in deed, may even cause you harm.
We gather together for fellowship, to sing our praises to God-to express our love in Him through worship; and to join together in prayer, share our faith, learn, and strengthen and edify one another in the Lord using our God given spiritual gifts
(1 CORINTHIANS 12).
We should come together with our Lord Jesus as the bride of Christ in total submission, with expectation to sing His praises wholeheartedly, and participate together as the Spirit leads with teaching, and to pray for one another to bring about healing and assurance through our daily trials and challenges.
Like a bride, we are to come to Him naked and transparent, in total submission to our King, letting go of all our inhibitions as we sing His praises and fall at His feet in worship.
When we get this right, the Spirit shall move and His glory shall fall, and we shall experience the signs and wonders of Christ (MARK 16:17-18). This is intimacy with our Lord and Master.
As we come closer to the day Jesus' returns, we will face many struggles, trials and challenges, and times of persecution; the truth is, anti-Christian forces will grow in strength.
But these challenges should never be excuses for failing to assemble or study together in fellowship. Rather, as more difficulties arise, we should make an even greater effort to assemble.
Jesus way of life, His Laws, His plans and purposes, are all grounded in love (MATHEW 22:36:40; MARK 12:29-31; LUKE 10:27).
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.“
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Keep Yourselves In God's Love As You Wait For The Mercy Of Our Lord Jesus Christ To Bring You To Eternal Life

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 05:51:42 GMT

Don't Be Sucked In By The Scoffers & Grumblers

JUDE 1:16-23
“These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage. But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
”‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:16-23‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jud.1.16-23.NKJ

Jude 1:16-23 instructs believers to stand firm against false teachers by remembering apostolic warnings, strengthening their own faith through prayer, and showing mercy to those influenced by error. Jude identifies mockers by their selfish, divisive behavior and urges Christians to maintain their love for God while actively rescuing those caught in deception.
In today’s world there are many grumblers and complainers within and outside of the church.
They walk according to their own lust-many choosing how they want to serve and twist God’s word to justify themselves. The truth is, they are not serving God, but rather themselves and the spiritual sources within them.
Often driven by pride and jealousy, they become rebellious and place themselves above all, refusing to accept and submit to God’s Word, they bring division into the church.
Other apostles also warned about false teachers. See ACTS 20:29; 1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2; 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5; 2 PETER 2:1-3; 2 JOHN 7.
These individuals are described as "grumblers," "faultfinders," and people who follow their own selfish desires. They use flattering, arrogant speech for personal gain, cause divisions, and are guided by natural instincts rather than the Holy Spirit (v16;18-19).
Jude urges believers to remember that apostles predicted "scoffers" would appear in the "last times"—a period covering the time between Christ's ascension and his return (v17-18).
John also warns his readers to stay close to God and His people, being careful not to listen to false teachers who would try to pull them away from God (JOHN 15:9-10).
Jesus is the ultimate teacher and is the only truth to be fully trusted. It is through relationship with Him that you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit who will help and lead you in all truth (JOHN 14:15:18; JOHN 16:13).
Jude gives us good instruction, telling us to ground yourself in the "most holy faith", the gospel.
Pray under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Stay secure in God’s love.
Wait patiently, looking forward to the mercy and eternal life brought by Jesus Christ (v20-21).
We Christians are told to handle compromised individuals differently:
Show compassion and mercy to those whose faith is wavering.
“Snatch from the fire" (rescue) those deeply affected by false teaching.
Show mercy with caution, hating the sin (the "garment stained by flesh") while trying to help the sinner (v22-23).
Today, the evidence that we are living in the last days have never been greater, and their are many false teachers trying to deceive from platforms such as YouTube operating for the devil (MATHEW 7:15); they influence many believers with false teachings and religious nonsense.
Bound by the devil, whose purpose is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10); they deceive and drag believers away from God, and they are good at it.
Therefore it is very important that we test and approve everything that we hear by regular study of God’s Word by the leading of the Holy Spirit to keep ourselves safe in God's love.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
John is telling us to test the spirits, the source of the prophecy or teachings.
Only that which is sourced from the Spirit of God can be trusted as true.
There are some good preachers on social platforms that do bring good teaching and encouragement, but these platforms are also a pit of deception, with many false teachers that influence and drag many down into darkness.
We believers are all called to share the Good News-to lead people to Jesus, to give them the opportunity to submit to Christ and be spared from God's coming judgment.
We can do this through compassion and kindness. We are to witness to them with truth, love, and kindness-loving the sinner with great caution, yet hating the sins that contaminated their lives.
Unbelievers, no matter how successful they seem by worldly standards, are lost and are in need of salvation.
We can not take witnessing lightly, we believers are all called and obligated to share the Good News to all with ears to listen. But whilst finding common ground with those whom we witness, we must be careful not to fall into the quicksand of compromise.
When reaching out to others, we must be sure that our footing is safe and secure; being careful not to become so much like non-believers that no one can tell who you are or what you believe.
We believers are supposed to Influence them for Christ through love and truth, rather than allowing them to influence or contaminate our minds and drag us back into sin.
Therefore, “Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

"For I Know The Plans I Have For You," Says The Lord." They Are Plans For Good And Not For Disaster, To Give You A Future And A Hope

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 05:55:22 GMT

The Battle Is Not With Flesh And Blood

JEREMIAH 29:11-14
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
”‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jer.29.11-14.NKJ

We are all encouraged by a leader who stirs us to move ahead, a leader who believes we can do the task he has given us, a leader who is with us all the way.
Jesus is that kind of leader. He knows the future, and His plans for us are good and full of hope.
God, who knows the future, provides our agendas and goes with us and empowers us to fulfil His mission (PHILIPPIANS 2:13). As a result we can have boundless hope. It’s not I that does it, but Christ who lives in me (JOHN 14: 15-18).
This does not mean that we will be spared pain, suffering, and hardship, but God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.
God never forgot His people even though they were captives in Babylon. His plan was to give them a new beginning, with a new purpose-to turn them into a new people, and those plans extend to all believers today.
Sometimes in dire circumstances, it may feel like God has forgotten us. But the truth is, He never leaves or forgets us; although sometimes He stands back to allow us to learn, grow in faith, and become wise-maybe in preparation for what is to come as He did the people of Judah.
According to God's plan, His people were to have a future and a hope, consequently, they could call upon Him in confidence.
Although the exiles were in a difficult place and time, they needed not to despair because they had God's presence, the privilege of prayer, and God's grace.
If we seek Him wholeheartedly, He will be found. Not a strange land, sorrow, persecution, nor any situation at all can break our fellowship with God.
My beloved, their is none like Jesus, His name is above every other name, He has no equal, nor rival, ”Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”“
‭‭Acts‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the only way in this world and the next; He is truth that sets us free; He is the life that defeated death, and He is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
Furthermore, it is He who will decide our eternal future.
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:35-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In Old Testament times the battles were very physical outward battles, but today, our battles are sourced from within. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12-20 outlines the Christian’s spiritual warfare, stating that the true enemy is not human ("flesh and blood") but demonic forces.
Paul calls believers to stand firm by putting on the "full armor of God"—truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—to resist evil, culminating in persistent, alert prayer.
My beloved, the fight is against spiritual wickedness and satanic powers of darkness, not people. The goal is to "stand" or hold one’s ground against evil, which requires God’s strength, not human strength (EPHESIANS 6:12-13).
Every sickness, addictions, fear, anxieties, and all mental health issues, along with our trials and challenges are spiritually sourced by demonic powers, unclean spirits and demons.
James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The armour of God is spiritual provisions based on God's righteousness, not our own, they are our weapons of defence as we come under attack from these evil entities (EPHESIANS 6:14-17).
The belt of truth represents integrity and the truth of the gospel.
The breastplate of righteousness is God's righteousness that protects believers' hearts.
The feet fitted with the Gospel of Peace is a readiness and firm-footed stability to share the good news.
The shield faith is trusting God to extinguish the "flaming arrows" of the enemy.
The helmet of salvation is trusting in God's saving power.
The Sword of the Spirit is the Word of God, used for defense and offence, and helps to bring physical changes in the way we think from within.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God loves you and has a wonderful plan for you, a plan to give you a future and a hope (JEREMIAH 29:11).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

Let No One Say When He Is Tempted, "I Am Tempted By God"

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 05:56:47 GMT

The Consequence Of Sin Is Death

JAMES 1:13-15
“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:13-15‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.13-15.NKJ

Many committed believers wonder why they still have temptations. God certainly allows believers to be tested but not more than they can stand; God cannot be tempted and neither does He tempt anyone else.
However He does allow Satan to tempt us in order to refine our faith, test and help us grow in our dependence on God.
We can resist temptation by asking God for strength and choosing to obey His Word.
Temptation comes from evil desires within us, not from God. It begins with an evil thought and becomes sin when we dwell on that thought and allow it to manifest and we walk in it. Furthermore, if allowed, sin grows like a snow ball rolling downhill, becoming more and more destructive and difficult to stop until it brings about death.
When wrong desires come into our minds it is easy to make excuses and blame others for our evil thoughts and wrong actions, but the truth is, while the devil can whisper into us inappropriate thoughts, we can choose how we shall respond to such thoughts.
It’s not always easy to make the right choices, for we humans all have a deceitful heart above all things (JEREMIAH 17:9) that naturally looks for excuses to justify sin, such as; “it's the other persons thought; I couldn't help it, everyone else is doing it; it was just a mistake; nobody's perfect; the devil made me do it; I was pressured into it; I didn't realise it was wrong; God tempted me.”
No, God did not tempt you, and whilst the devil does bring temptation, you the have free will to walk in Christ righteousness and the Holy Spirit to empower you to do it. He gives us the desire to do what pleases Him and the power to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
Paul tells us to take every thought captive and bring them to the obedience of Christ. We can only achieve this by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit, ”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, there are consequences for all our actions, good and evil.
A person making excuses is trying to justify his or her actions, and then when they cannot hide or justify their evil deeds, they are tempted to put the blame on something or someone else.
A true committed believer accepts responsibility for his or her own wrong doings, confesses them, and ask God for forgiveness.
Repentance is turning from such sin, doing it no more and becoming obedient to Christ.
My beloved, the best time to stop temptation is before it starts; rebuke wrong thoughts by nipping them in the bud before they become too strong or too powerful to control.
It is encouraging to know that God always gives us a way forward in righteousness, and is faithful to forgive a repentant heart.
Paul said, ”Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness. Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted. And do not become idolaters as were some of them. As it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” Nor let us commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and in one day twenty-three thousand fell; nor let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents; nor complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer. Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The consequence of sin, and yes, we have all sinned, is death, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even though we have all sinned, we have life, and we may have it more abundantly (JOHN 14:6).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Then I Heard The Voice Of The Lord Saying, Whom Shall I Send? And Who Will Go For us? And I said, "Here I Am, Send Me"

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 06:58:43 GMT

Procrastination, Hesitation, Procrastination, & Rebellion,

ISAIAH 6:8

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.6.8.NKJ

"Here am I. Send me!" is a famous response from the prophet Isaiah to God in Isaiah 6:8, signifying voluntary, obedient service.
After being cleansed of sin, Isaiah hears God ask, "Whom shall I send?", to which he immediately volunteers, showing complete dedication and availability.
Isaiah sees God on a throne in the Temple, leading to a profound awareness of his own unworthiness and the holiness of God.
A seraph (angel) cleanses Isaiah's lips with a live coal, symbolizing the forgiveness of his sins and preparing him for the mission.
God asks, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Isaiah responds, "Here am I. Send me!".
The verse highlights a total surrender to God's calling, requiring bravery to act without knowing the full plan.
Sometimes, what God calls upon us do makes no sense; it might not seem biblically sound, and it may be dangerous, but you can be certain, hecwill not send us without preparation, just like Isaiah, those burning coals will touch our lips.
We may well be hesitant, or reluctant to obey because, “we see the possible outcome or its not what I want”; “their is no reward to me”; “I can’t see the benefits”; “it is extremely dangerous”, or “I am uncomfortable”.
But God wants total submission.
Hesitation is dangerous-many road traffic accidents are caused by hesitation, and when God opens doors, it can be for a limited period.
The opportunity may come around again in a few days, weeks, or years, but sometimes the door is closed indefinitely, because He passed you and sent someone else.
We must always have safe guards in place, but if you hesitate, stop and revalidate, and be certain that your mission is from God. Not by the word’s spoke over you or your dream or vision, or your desire, but by testing the spirit that brought the dream, vision, or instruction into your heart.

To test and approve is wise-we must always look both ways before crossing a road. Hesitation is dangerous, often resulting in casualties and fatalities, and procrastination is lazy or even rebellious. Once we know the mission is from God, it is time to say "Yes Lord, I will go, Send me".
Like Isaiah, we all tend to say, “send me”.
But when we see the danger, we are quick to go in the other direction.
My beloved, whatever mission God has for us, whatever He has in store for us, it might not make sense, and may not even seem biblical, and will often push us to our limits, but there will always be good fruits at the end of the mission or test.

If king David hadn't committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her husband to his death, Solomon would of not become king. Very clearly, God's allowed that to happen to fulfil His plans and purposes-we really do not have a clue what God is doing in our lives. He brings good purpose from every situation (ROMANS 8:28).
Not every place God sends us is a town, city, or country; it can be some kind of issue, action, or situation.
Jonah was instructed to go to Nineveh to deliver a message, but he got scared and run in the other direction, only to be caught up in a storm, thrown overboard, and then swallowed up by a giant fish.
After he had been there for three days and three nights, calling for God’s mercy from within, he was spat out onto a beach only to be told to go Nineveh and give them the message that I sent you to give (JONAH 1-3).
Sometimes God’s instructions are dangerous and scary, but refusing may land you in the belly of a giant fish, to be spat out later and sent again, but for others, they lose a door of opportunity, sometimes for a time, and for some, indefinitely.
My beloved, we Spirit filled believers are one body in Christ, and we are all called serve without question, to do what God sends us to do. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Caution is wise, hesitation is dangerous, Procrastination is lazy, and refusal is rebellion.
But by trusting God and saying yes, send me, you will in time, receive a harvest of the very best for you.
All Glory be to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Reward For Trusting Him Will Be The Salvation Of Your Souls

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 06:09:46 GMT

By Faith Alone

1 PETER 1:6-9
“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1:6-9‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.1.8.NKJ

Jesus had said to Thomas, His disciple who came to believe after touching the resurrected Christ, "You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me" (JOHN 20:29).
Peter, having heard those words, repeats them here. "You love him even though you have never seen him."
That faith brings both salvation and joy through the promise of the day when pain and suffering will end and perfect justice begins.
Salvation is not dependent on one’s place of birth, skin colour, knowledge, abilities, our faults and failures, and even sin cannot stop it, for we are both favoured and saved by faith alone (HEBREWS 11).
My beloved, we believers can experience "inexpressible joy" despite facing severe trials, because these trials are temporary, purposeful, and refine their faith—which is more precious than gold—for the final reward of salvation.
The passage emphasizes that believers rejoice in their secure, future inheritance, loving Jesus even without seeing him, and looking forward to the "end of their faith".
Faith will be rewarded and evil will be punished.
But what should we do until then?
God gives us a simple answer in His Word; simple, but not necessarily easy.
We believers, because we know the future, must put aside our own agendas and faithfully serve God here and now.
Peter highlights a paradox that believers are "grieved by various trials" while simultaneously "greatly rejoicing". The "joy" is based on the security of their salvation, not their current circumstances.
If today that means resolving a conflict, mending a hurt, working in a dull job, rebuilding a marriage, confronting a belligerent child, or just waiting for guidance, do it all with the joy of the Lord who will return with His reward.
But we must remain on the level God placed us, unlike the devil because of his selfish ambitions, tried to climb the highest mountain to be like God (ISAIAH 14:12-14).
Just like him, our selfless agendas shall bring us crashing down (ISAIAH 14:15).
Trials are not for punishment, but to test and refine our faith, similar to how fire purifies gold. These trials are "necessary" for growth and to prove genuine faith before Christ's return.
Even without physically seeing Jesus, Christians naturally love Him and trust Him, resulting in joy and looking toward the salvation of their souls
(1 PETER:8-9).
My beloved, our trials are characterized as temporary ("for a little while") compared to eternal glory.
In ten thousand years when we are still living in the presence of our Almighty God, holy and acceptable to Him, and having experienced His hand wiping away our every tear, and living life abundantly without fear of poverty or death, or torment, sorrow, or pain, the suffering we suffered in this life will be at worst, nothing more than a very distant memory.
Therefore, remain focused on the eternal promise of life everlasting.
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
God bless you all.

Live As People Who Are Free

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 06:18:28 GMT

Obey God Before Human Authority

1 PETER 2:13-17
“Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:13-17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.2.13-17.NKJ

These verses command Christians to submit to governmental authorities for the Lord's sake, using their freedom to serve God rather than cause disorder.
It calls for all believers to act as good citizens to do good to silence critics, and maintain a balance of honoring everyone, loving fellow believers, fearing God, and respecting leadership.
When Peter told his readers to respect all human authority, he was speaking of the Roman Empire under Nero, a notorious cruel tyrant.
That's not to say, he was telling believers to compromise their consciences; as Peter had told the high priest years earlier, "We must always obey God rather than any human authority" (ACTS 5:29).
It was possible in most aspects of daily life to live according to the law of their land and called to submit voluntarily to "every human institution"—from emperors to governors—as an act of obedience to God.
This includes complying with laws and paying taxes.
Submitting and doing good is God's will, designed to silence ignorant or foolish accusations against Christians. It highlights that Christian freedom is not a license for evil, but rather an opportunity to serve God.
In today's world, some Christians live in freedom while others live under repressive governments. The truth is, our freedoms are systematically being taken away as the day of the Lord is approaching.
In recent times, the rules and restrictions placed on our daily lives should be seen as a wake up call should we be ready for the return of Jesus Christ.
We believers are all commanded to cooperate with rulers as far as our conscience will allow. We are to do this, "for the Lord's sake", so that His Good News and His people will be not breaking moral or civil laws.
But that doesn’t mean we should stop assembling for worship and fellowship, or preaching God’s Word simply because worldly governments command it. It doesn’t mean church leaders should join same sex partners in marriage, or comply to any worldly law that contradicts God’s Laws.
That would be contradictory of God’s Word (HEBREWS 10:25).
Christians have freedom in Christ, but the apostles defined freedom more narrowly than the normal use of the word in common language.
Christians use freedom as a tool for a life of exuberant service. It's the foundation that God gives to us to reach our highest potential. Therefore because God gives us freedom from religious rules and eternal guilt, we must not seek to indulge in our own selfish desires, but rather should reach for the best God has for us.
We believers are not free to do as we please, but rather to serve God-to become bond servants to Christ, which is a personal choice to selflessly volunteer ones service to God in total submission according to His will.
Many believers have their own ideas of how they want to serve; but the truth is, Jesus is the head and we believers are all individual parts of His body and each have a part to play (1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-31).
Therefore our service to Him must be according to His plans and purposes, as should our prayers. Rather than praying according to “my opinion” or for “my will” to be done, we believers must pray for “God’s will” to be done.
Jesus demonstrates this in the Lord’s Prayer (MATHEW 6:9-13).
My beloved, it is He who must choose your words in prayer, your paths, and your assignments not you.
What is the point of a body made up of all the same parts-a dancer cannot dance well with two left feet.
If one chooses his own path, direction, or calling it will be in vain; indeed he may even find himself in the belly of a giant fish as did Jonah (JONAH 1:17).
Submit and allow your freedom to sing power, joy, and love, accountable to God, while devoted to serving Him and others by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Only then can the body of Christ (the church) come together in unity like a well oiled machine to achieve God’s plans and purposes by the leading of the head, Jesus Christ.

But to have true freedom in this world, we must first have freedom in the spiritual realms.

Deliverance is key to a changed life. This is true freedom, to be free from all demonic chains of bondage that come as a result of our sins, including the sins of our ancestors.

All sickness including mental health, addiction, anxiety/ depression, repetitive, sin is rooted by enslavement to the devil. Therefore, submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

Jesus paid it all at the cross, to give you freedom and life everlasting.

But, "Who has believed our report?

And to whome has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant.

And as a root out of dry ground.

He has no form or comeliness;

And when we see Him,

There is ni o beauty that we should desire Him.

He is despised and rejected by men,

A man of many sorrows and aquainted with griefs

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;

He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Surley He has bourn our griefs

And carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken

Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed (ISAIAH 53:1-5).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am The Resurrection And The Life. Anyone Who Believes In Me Will Live, Even After Dying

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:59:07 GMT

Everyone Who Lives In Me And Believes In Me Will Never Die

JOHN 11:25-27
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-27‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.11.25-27.NKJ

Jesus has power over life and death. Having died on a cross to pay our debt of sin, and on the third day, He was risen!
He defeated death forever.
Paul said, “Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:1-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus died on a cross for our sins; He was the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 5:12), and on the third day He was risen-witnessed by over five hundred who were alive at that time.
Therefore, neither the death of Jesus nor His resurrection can be challenged.
“Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus wasn’t there, the stone was rolled away, and Jesus had left the tomb.
Jesus, as well as having the power to forgive us of our sins because He paid our debt, overcome the grave; giving all who believe on Him the opportunity of resurrection life.
This is because He is the Creator of life and He who is life, who created life, can surely restore life.
Whoever believes in Christ has life that death cannot conquer or diminish in any way.
When we realise His power and how truly wonderful His gift of life really is, how can we not commit our lives to Him?
To us that believe, we have absolute assurance and certainty of salvation, eternal life in paradise.
Martha is best known for being too busy to sit down and talk with Jesus (LUKE 10:38-42).
But here she showed herself as a woman of deep faith. Her statement of faith is the exact response Jesus wants from us today.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Christ Has Set Us Free

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 05:44:13 GMT

By Faith Alone

GALATIANS 5:1
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/gal.5.1.nkj

We are all sinners (1 JOHN 1:10), and have been shackled by the power of sin and death. But Christ died on a cross to set us free from sin and a long list of laws and regulations.
He came to free us, not that we can continue in sin or do what we like, because that would only lead us back into our old selfish desires and would tie us up in bondage once again.
Thanks to God, and what Christ has done, freedom from sin and death is available to everyone-free and able to do what was impossible before; to live unselfishly to serve our Lord and Master by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit who will never leave us (JOHN 14:15-18).
Jesus said, “”if you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God sends His Holy Spirit to help us through our every day life; to give us discernment and to make righteous decisions. He leads us in every aspect of our life and calling.
But God does not take away our free will, and those who appeal to their freedom so that they can have their own way or indulge in their own selfish desires will slip back into sin and bondage (see GALATIANS 5:16-26).
It is also wrong to place the burden of law-keeping on believers. We must stand against those who enslave us with religious rules, methods and special conditions for being saved.
Paul put it like this: “Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love (GALATIANS 5:2-6).
One cannot earn salvation, no amount of money can buy it, and no good deeds or religious acts can purchase it. “For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above ) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:5-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It’s too late to be free by works-we have already broken God’s Laws and our eternal death has been justified by the Law.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭1:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, the sacrifice of animals that paid the debt of sin in Old Testament times, no longer pays our debt of sin because Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice; He is the Lamb that was slain and animal sacrifice is no longer an option.
He paid the debt of sin once and for all time with His own blood. Therefore, my beloved, only through Jesus Christ can anyone be free from the curse of sin that brings forth death (JAMES 1:15)
“Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the only One who can free you from the curse of sin because He is the One who paid your debt on a cross; furthermore, He is the coming Judge that will decide your eternal future, and since salvation is impossible by works, faith in Christ is the only way.
He is the truth, in fact, the incorruptible Word of God. For, ”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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is God and cannot deviate from His word; it is impossible for Him to lie and He cannot ever break His promises, for it is written.
He is the life that defeated sin and death forever, because not only did He die on a cross to pay the debt of sin, He is risen, and therefore through Him, you by faith die and rise with Him into resurrection life. ”For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬
I tell you the truth, who the Son sets free, is free indeed (JOHN 8:36). But however, do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Have Been Crucified With Christ And I No Longer Live, But Christ Lives In Me

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 05:55:27 GMT

Since I Died With Christ, I Will Also Rise With Him

GALATIANS 2:19-20
“For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2:19-20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/gal.2.19-20.nkj

Galatians 2:19-20 describes the core of Christian transformation from death to life in Christ.
Believers are spiritually crucified with Christ, dying to the Law’s condemnation and self-reliance, to live a new life in union with Jesus.
It highlights a shift from law-based righteousness to a faith-based life, where Christ lives within the believer, guiding and empowering them to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
Paul explains that trying to keep the Law only highlighted one’s failure; the Law itself showed him his need for a Savior, leading him to stop trusting in his own works and to become dependent on God.
We believers die with Christ on a cross spiritually, this is not physical, death, but death of our old sinful nature.
It means the "old rebellious, self-centered identity” died with Jesus on the cross. And because we died with Him, we also rise with Him into resurrection life (ROMANS 6:8).
The believer’s new life is powered by the Holy Spirit. Christ’s life, character, and power, now define the believer's existence (v20).
"The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God (v20).
Daily life is now managed not by rigid legalism, but by constant trust in Jesus' love and grace.
Legally, God sees us, His people, as if we and our sins had died with Christ. No longer are we condemned to death because Jesus paid our debt of sin.
By our submission and commitment to Christ, we are “buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses (COLOSSIANS 2:11-14).”
In our relationship with Christ, we have become one spirit with Him (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), in total agreement and alignment of His plans and purposes.
No longer do we live for ourselves, but live for Christ.
His Holy Spirit lives in us (JOHN 14:15:18), “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Rationally, we have become one with Christ, and His experiences have become ours.
Our Christian life begins in the very moment we submit to Jesus and join in unity with Him, though He never sinned, we die to our old sinful selves (see ROMANS 6:5-11).
In our daily lives we find ourselves in a battle with the flesh (GALATIANS 5:16-17). But it is most important that by God’s power, we crucify our sinful desires that damage our relationship with God.
Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:23-25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The focus of Christianity is not so much on death, but on living. Because we have been crucified with Christ, we have also been raised with Him (ROMANS 6:5).
We have been legally reconciled with God (2 CORINTHIANS 5:19) and are free to grow into the likeness of Christ (ROMANS 8:29).
We are no longer alone, for Christ lives in us-He is our power for living and our hope for the future (COLOSSIANS 1:27).
“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus came to give you life, and that you might have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10). Furthermore, He sent His holy Spirit to help you all the way.
But God doesn’t take away our free will-we can choose to live to satisfy our old sinful selves, or we can choose to live by the leading of the holy Spirit.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

This Is My Prayer; That Your LOVE MAY ABOUND More, More, And More, In Knowledge And Depth Of Insight

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:35:29 GMT

Meeting Jesus In The Clouds

PHILIPPIANS 1:9-11
“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:9-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/php.1.9-11.nkj

Paul’s prayer for the Philippians was that they would become unified in the love of God.
Their love of Christ would result in a deeper understanding of Christ and gain in moral discernment.
Their love was not based on feelings, but on what Christ had done for them.
Today, we must ask God to give us moral discernment so that we can maintain our Christian morals and values.
His prayer asked God to give them the ability to differentiate between right and wrong, good and evil, vital and trivial.
So many people today justify sin to suit themselves; abortion, homosexuality, and all sorts of other sin. As Christians, we cannot continue to live sinful lives, but must, by the help and leading of the holy Spirit, be willing to change.
Jesus died to free us from the power of sin and death, not so that we can justify sin and continue to live in it.
We must ask God to give us those abilities that we can differentiate between right and wrong, good and evil, vital and trivial.
Philippians 1:1–11 focuses on Christian partnership, joy in ministry, and the growth of love through spiritual discernment.
Paul thanks the church for their support, expressing confidence that God will complete the good work He started in them.
The Scripture urges His body of people to love and to grow with knowledge, producing righteous character.
Paul emphasizes the "partnership" (or fellowship), in spreading the good news, which all believers are called to do their part, which includes both ministry collaboration and financial support.
Paul expresses confidence that God, who began a good work in the Philippians, will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
That message is a message to every believer wherever they are in the world today.
Our growth and transformation is an on going process that will continue until the day the Lord Jesus Christ returns.
Jesus said m, it is then, ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭29‬-‭31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God will gather His elect, those still alive in Christ at that time from the four corners of the earth, and all the those in Christ who had passed, from one end of heaven to the other, “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We Spirit filled believers shall at this time, all meet Jesus in the clouds of this world, not in heaven, pre-raptured, but immediately after the tribulation of those days ( MATHEW 24:29), which is the first resurrection (REVELATION 20:5), and we shall meet Jesus in the air and be changed, which will take us into the millennium reign for a thousand years, and we should continue to remind each other of these comforting words in these last days of tribulation.
“For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers will meet Jesus in the air, but not before the dead in Christ, those who sleep, in a pre-tribulation rapture, but together with the dead in Christ, for this is the first resurrection.
But those in Christ, like the thief next to Jesus on the cross, are taken up into paradise when they pass from this world, to be with Christ (LUKE 23:43).
They are the dead in Christ, and this could be seen as a kind of harvest or even pre-tribulation rapture into paradise as many theologians talk about.
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭51‬-‭52‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is then John vision of the millennium reign of Jesus Christ shall come to pass.
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while. And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For The Wages Of Sin Is Death, But The Free Gift Of God Is Eternal Life In Christ Jesus Our Lord

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 05:10:21 GMT

Only Jesus Can

ROMANS 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:23‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.6.23.NKJ

The wages of sin is death, so the problem is that we have all sinned and the punishment appears imminent.
Theirs not one person except Christ who can truly claim that He never sinned (1 JOHN 1:8-10).
But there is hope! Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:23-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one goes past a speed camera too fast he knows he has been caught and the penalty notice is on its way. Far more than those speed cameras God sees your every sin including your sinful thoughts and the punishment is on its way.
But if someone else pays the speeding fine on your behalf, it is finished, and you are free from that penalty.
It’s one thing for a friend to pay a financial penalty on your behalf, but God sent His only begotten Son to pay the penalty notice of your sin with His own blood and it is technically finished (JOHN 19:30).
All you need do is believe on Jesus Christ and His promised gift, and make Him your Master to receive this wonderful new life in Christ.
No other religious organisation deals with the problem of sin; only Jesus can do that because He is the Lamb that was slain to pay the debt of all sin, He is the One who has all authority over heaven and earth (MATHEW 28:18), and He is the coming judge who shall decide your eternal future (MATHEW 25:31-46).
It is His spilled blood that justifies one’s new life in Christ and nothing else can. That is why Jesus said, ”I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ NKJV
You are free to choose between two masters, but you will face the consequences of your choice.
The two masters pay with their own kind of currency. The currency of sin is eternal death. That is the most you can hope for without Jesus.
Christ's currency is eternal life, new life with God; “He will live among His people; He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and their will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever”(REVELATIONS 21:3-4).
Again I tell you, that's a gift well worth having.
My beloved, eternal life is a free gift from God.
We have lived with sin and the consequences of it, sorrow, pain, and death, it's a part of every day life in this dark world today, so it's difficult to imagine what life will be without sin, exactly how amazingly wonderful life will be.
But God never breaks His promises, and the gift of eternal life is yours, all you have to do is believe and receive.
It’s not a complicated process and it is available to all people. ”But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Your new life in Christ begins here on earth in the very moment you commit your life to Jesus, and continues forever with Him through all eternity.
But if eternal life is a gift, then it's not something we earn or can pay for.
Consider the foolishness of someone who receives a gift out of love and then offers to pay for it, that would be an insult to the giver.
A gift cannot be purchased by the recipient. A more appropriate response to a loved one who offers a gift is to gracefully accept it with gratitude.
Our salvation is a gift from God, not something of our own doing (EPHESIANS 2:8-9).
God's offer to save us is because of His love and mercy, not because of any good deeds that we may have done or might do (TITUS 3:5), His grace is enough.
The gift and justification of life came at a very high price (1 CORINTHIANS 6:20), therefore, how much more should we accept with thanksgiving the wonderful gift that God has given to us.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

But He Was Pierced For Our Transgression, He Was Crushed For Our Iniquities, The Punishment That Brought Peace Was Upon Him, And By His Wounds We Are Healed

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 05:37:10 GMT

By His Stripes

ISAIAH 53:4-6
“Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:4-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.53.4-6.NKJ

How could someone of the Old Testament understand the idea of Jesus Christ dying for our sins; actually bearing the punishment that we deserve?
The sacrifices suggested this idea, but it's one thing to kill a lamb, and something quite different to think of God's only begotten Son, the chosen servant as that Lamb.
But God was putting aside the certainty of time to allow the people of Isaiah's day to look ahead into the suffering of the future Messiah and the resulting forgiveness made available to all people. Isaiah speaks of Israel straying from God and compares them to wandering sheep. Yet God would send the Messiah to bring them back into the fold.
Today, we have the hindsight to see and know the identity of the promised Messiah who came and died for our sins. But if we know all that Jesus did for us and still reject Him, how much greater is our sin than the Israelites who could not see what we have seen?
The Messiah came as a "Suffering Servant" who willingly bears the griefs, sorrows, and all the sins of humanity, acting as a substitute to bring peace and healing. The Scripture teaches that while Christ was unjustly afflicted, His sacrifice (pierced and crushed) reconciles humanity who with God.
Jesus bore the penalty for human sins (transgressions and iniquities) by taking our place on a cross.
Initially, the Pharisees and many of that day believed that He was stricken by God for his own sin, but He never sinned and was actually suffering for others.
The text cited during communion or Good Friday, links the Messiah's wounds ("stripes") to the spiritual and physical healing of humanity.
It highlights the universal tendency of humanity to stray ("like sheep") and God’s act of placing that collective guilt on the Servant who paid it all.
Have you given your life to Christ Jesus, the "Good Shepherd" (JOHN 10:11-16), or are you still going your own way like wandering sheep?
Today, Jesus continues to bear our grief, He carries our sorrows when we believe and totally submit to Him.
Despite the fact that we esteemed Him stricken, He died a painful, humiliating death on a cross that you might live.
It’s impossible to fully understand the deep never ending love God has for His people, and the extremes He has done to save all who believe on Him-those who turn away from sin toward God. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many people are suffering in today’s world; but Jesus, whether it is physical illness, disabilities, mental health, addictions, poverty, lack, broken relationships, paid a high price for your healing.
But, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”

Weeping May Stay Overnight, But There Is Joy In The Morning

Sat, 11 Apr 2026 06:10:55 GMT

The Blessedness Of Answered Prayer

PSALM 30:1-5
“I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up, And have not let my foes rejoice over me. O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me. O LORD, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭30:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/psa.30.1-5.nkj

David possibly wrote this Psalm when he dedicated Araunah’s threshing floor, which was the future site of the Temple, after God had stopped the great plague that He had used to discipline him (1 CHRONICLES 21-22:6).
The life threatening illness that God healed David from, may well of been from the plague itself.
God’s discipline can be like a painful injection given by a doctor; often very painful, but from it comes good effects that continue for a long time.
These verses are a psalm of thanksgiving by David, celebrating that God had delivered him from a life-threatening crisis, ultimately from the demonic and the life threatening sicknesses that they bring.
It highlights God as a rescuer who turns mourning into joy, emphasizing that while His discipline may cause temporary sorrow, His favor brings long-lasting, joyful restoration, encapsulated by the theme that "joy comes in the morning.”
David praises God for "drawing him up" from the depths of sickness or a near-death experience the "pit" or "Sheol".
This is a testimonial of personal healing and divine intervention.
David invites other believers, described as the "faithful ones" or "saints," to join in praising God's holy name, emphasizing that deliverance is a communal reason to worship.
Deliverance is key to healing, and just as David calls on the saints of yesterday, the faithful one’s, we believers today are called to assemble together to worship God-it is a command and we must not forsake the assembly of ourselves (HEBREWS 10:25).
Verse 5 contrasts God's temporary anger and discipline with His everlasting favour.
"Weeping may stay for the night": Sorrow, trial, or divine discipline is temporary, described as lasting for only "a moment".
God’s favor is durable and constant, ensuring that relief and joy always follow times of sorrow, just as morning always follows night.
We believers are called to express gratitude for healing from illness or recovery from a major, life-threatening, crisis.
What follows worship is comfort in suffering which is applied as a source of hope during intense personal trials, encouraging trust and that current difficulties are temporary and will end in praise.
These verses illustrate that while suffering is a real part of life, it does not have the final say, rather, because God is the author and the finisher of our faith (HEBREWS 12:2), and He decides the outcome, and for those in covenant with God, joy is the final outcome.
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:30-34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and ALL will be added to you.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Son Of Man Did Not Come To Be Served, But To Serve, And To Give His Life As A Ransom For Many

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 06:01:51 GMT

Have A Servants Heart

MATHEW 20:24-28
“And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20:24-28‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/mat.20.24-28.nkj

v

James and John's mother asked Jesus to give her two son's special positions in His Kingdom.
It's natural for parents to want to see their children promoted and honoured, but this desire is dangerous if it causes them to stand in the way of God's specific will for them.
God may have different work for them; maybe not as glamorous, but just as important. Thus, parents desires for their children are often far from God's will for them, and these desires for their children's advancement must be held in check as they pray that God's will be done in their lives.
James, John, and their mother failed to grasp Jesus' previous teachings on rewards (19:16-30) and eternal life (20:1-16). They didn't understand the suffering they must face before living in the glory of God's Kingdom.
The "cup" was the suffering and crucifixion that Jesus faced. Both James and John would also face great suffering. James would be put to death for his faith and John would be exiled.
In verse 23, Jesus was showing that He was under the authority of the Father, for: Though He was and is fully God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead He gave up His divine privileges as God and took the humble position of a slave (PHILIPPIANS 2:6-7).
The Father alone made decisions about leadership in heaven. Rewards are not granted as favours. All rewards are according to God’s plans and purposes for those who have maintained their commitment to Jesus in spite of many trials.
God put us in our place and gifted us spiritually and physically according to His will, not ours, and that is not negotiable.
The other disciples were upset with James and John for trying to grab top positions.
All the disciples just like many of us today, wanted to be the greatest (18:1), but Jesus taught them that the greatest person in God's Kingdom is the servant of all.
Authority is given not for self importance, ambition, or respect, but for useful service to God.
Jesus described leadership from a new perspective. Instead of using people, they are to serve them.
Jesus came to serve, He made it His mission to serve others and give up His life on a cross to pay their debt of sin.
A true leader has a servant's heart and appreciates other’s worth and realise they themselves are not above any job.
When you see something that needs doing, take initiative and do it like a faithful servant.
A "ransom" was the price paid to release a slave from bondage. Jesus often told His disciples that He must die, but here He explained why-to redeem all people from the bondage or consequence of sin.
The disciples thought that as along as Jesus was alive, He could save them, but Jesus revealed that only His death would save them and the world. Jesus died for us that we might live-that is a very high price! Are you ready to live for Him? Is that not the least you do.?
My brethren, “The fear of man brings a snare, But whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.
Many seek the ruler’s favor, But justice for man comes from the LORD.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭29:25-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Joyful Are Those Who Obey His Laws And Search For Him With All Their Hearts

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 06:15:40 GMT

Live Pure Lives & Grow In Faith

PSALM 119:1-2
“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, Who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.119.1-2.NKJ

V

Psalm 119 is both the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the bible.
Possibly written by Ezra after the Temple was rebuilt (EZRA 6:14-15) as a repetitive meditation on the power and beauty of God’s word, and how it helps us to live pure lives and grow in faith.
Such repetition was common in the Hebrew culture because people did not have personal copies of the Scriptures to read like us today, so they memorised God’s word and passed it on verbally.
The structure of this psalm made it less difficult to remember.
There are in this lengthy psalm, twenty two carefully constructed sections; each section containing eight verses, all beginning with the letter of its section from the Hebrew alphabet.
Within the psalm, eight words for God’s law occur again and again: law, testimonies, promise, precepts, statutes, commandments, judgements, and word. These words help us to elaborate the application of God’s Law in our everyday life and to the destiny of Israel.
The Hebrew word torah, translated as “law,” means “instruction” or “direction.” The Law was not designed as a means of salvation, rather it was a means for the Israelites to learn how to live as God’s holy people.
The psalmist continually describes the Law as a great blessing, for it was God’s gracious revelation to His people for their own good (DEUTERONOMY 6:1-3).
The Law mercifully points out the right paths to follow. God’s word is the only sure guide for us to follow to live pure and holy lives pleasing to God.
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!
Having said that, the Law cannot save us because we have all sinned.
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We cannot walk the right path in our own strength, for our flesh lives only to satisfy its lust.
But Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He sent His Holy Spirit to lead those who love Him and choose to obey His commandments.
By their choice they no longer live to satisfy their lust, but rather, become a vessel of the holy Spirit Who gives both the desire to do that what pleases Him, and empowers them to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
But He does not take a way one’s free will, we must choose to live according to the Spirit and not by the passions of our flesh.
It’s not easy because the flesh is not quick to give up its dominion and a battle begins within.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”

One Who Has Unreliable Friends Soon Comes To Ruin

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:18:34 GMT

There Is A Friend Who Sticks Closer Than A Brother

PROVERBS 18:24
“A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.18.24.NKJ

Sadly, there are many people who feel cut off, lonely, and alienated from other and being in a crowd just makes them more aware of their isolation and
We all need friends, friends who will stick by us through it all; friends that listen, care, and offer help when it’s needed in good times and the bad.
It's better to have one such friend than many superficial acquaintances.
Such friendship only comes from unconditional love, the selfless love that can only come from our Father in heaven. The truth is, He is our ultimate true friend who gave up His life for His friends.
We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Love is a choice and a duty of care toward others, not for any kind of reward, indeed, quite the opposite; for true love continues through pain and disappointment, just as it does through blessings.
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren , if you are hoping you can find a true friend, make a point of being a true friend. Be the one who copies our Lord and Master; the one who looks past the faults and failures, the one who forgives and continues to love regardless.
After all, we have all messed up at one time of another and hurt someone, and we all need the grace of a friend.
My beloved, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour; we are all in the same boat; we all need God’s grace. Therefore, make a point of passing on His grace by being a true friend to others.
If you seek, you will find people who need your friendship. Ask God to reveal them to you, and then take on the challenge of being a such friend.
Jesus, regardless of one’s sin, is a true friend (MATHEW 11:9), His love for each of us is unconditional.
It’s not relevant to Jesus what sins you have committed, the colour of your skin, your nationality, or even sexual orientation; He wants to bring you into His kingdom.
He is truly your friend, the One you can always rely on, but justice does not override grace.
To experience God’s grace one must apply Jesus spilled blood to justify life everlasting.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, Jesus is our example to follow. God’s love is infectious; receive it from Jesus through relationship with Him, and then pass on to others by following the example of Christ who hates the sin but love’s the sinner; He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For There Is One God And One Mediator Between God & Mankind , The Man Christ Jesus

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:37:30 GMT

He Who Hears My Word & Believes In Me Has Everlasting Life

1 TIMOTHY 2:5-6
“For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,
”‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭2:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1ti.2.5-6.NKJ

Though some people think there are many ways to God, the truth is in practice, we must each choose a single way.
We can stand on one side of a gorge and discuss the possibility of many bridges across the abyss, but if we are determined to cross, we will have to commit to one bridge.
Those who insist that there are many bridges to God usually fall into the following categories: They haven't committed to any "bridge."
They are surprised that their belief in “many ways”,does not exempt them from having to choose one.
Their belief in "many ways to God" hides their true belief that finding God doesn't really matter at all-they are convinced that arguing for "many ways to God" will insure that they won't be wrong.
If there is one way, their generalised belief will presumably have included it.
They have decided that believing in "many ways to God" requires less work than taking the trouble of considering the claims of various religious systems.
The fact remains, we humans have been separated from God by sin and we need a Saviour, a way back across the abyss to God.
Jesus said, ““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 ‭5‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This emphasises the certainty of salvation for believers, highlighting that eternal life is a present reality, not just a future hope.
The words “Has eternal life" indicates a present possession, not a future possibility that starts in the very moment one believes.
He who “Hears My word and believes Him who sent Me" means that the condition of Salvation is “accepting Jesus' message and trusting the Father who sent him, demonstrating the unity between the Father and the Son.
Only one person, our God and Mediator, Jesus Christ, can stand between us and God and bridge the gap.
Only Jesus Christ can bring us back to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
As written in today’s Scripture, “there is one “God and one Mediator” between God and man.” This is another confirmation of the deity of Jesus Christ. He is both, fully God and fully man (see also PHILIPPIANS 2:5-7) and it is He alone who can bridge the gap between you and God.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, as is written, there is no other way to our Father in heaven; there is no other person or object or angel or god that can bridge the gap.
No amount of money or good deeds can purchase your salvation, for we have all sinned.
But Jesus did do just that. He purchased your eternal future with His own blood.
This is the Good News of Christ; “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is the coming judge who shall decide your eternal.
Jesus message for today is exactly as He said before:
“”But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore, you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:36-44‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, the question is, are you ready for Christ return.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Should Christians Celebrate Easter

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 08:46:47 GMT

Easter, Godly Or Pagan?

Whether Christians should celebrate Easter is a matter of personal conviction and church tradition.
Most celebrate it as the most important event in Christianity, honouring Jesus' resurrection and victory over sin and death.
Others avoid it, citing potential pagan origins of traditions or its lack of a direct scriptural mandate.
The resurrection is foundational to the Christian faith, and Easter provides a focused time to celebrate Jesus’ victory over sin and death.
Many say that Easter is a pagan festival, and yes, I am certain that the devil brought his own version of events and religious ceremonies, celebrations, and false beliefs. But if your celebration is focused on Jesus, purposed to glorify the Almighty, and you are not taking part in any false religion or demonic ceremony, your celebration will be right with God.
For Christianity, Easter celebrates God's promise fulfilled and provides a reminder of the promise of eternal life.
While not explicitly commanded, early Christians established the tradition of commemorating the resurrection with praise and worship and continues today.
Easter brings families and churches together for worship, sunrise services, and celebration.
Some say that Easter eggs represent an evil version of fertility, and I am certain that the devil has his own version of things, but he is a deceiver (REVELATION 12:9) and will do anything to bring division in church.
For Christians, Easter eggs represent new life, rebirth, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, symbolizing the empty tomb from which he emerged.
Traditionally, they represent the blood of Christ (when dyed red) and celebrate the end of the Lenten fasting period, evolving from ancient spring fertility symbols into modern chocolate treats.
The egg represents the tomb, and breaking of the shell symbolizes Jesus rising from the dead.
Ancient cultures (including Persian and early Europeans) saw eggs as symbols of fertility, rebirth, and the start of spring.
Because eggs were forbidden during Lent, they were stored and then decorated to be eaten or gifted on Easter Sunday.
The tradition of rolling eggs is to symbolize the rolling away of the stone from Jesus’ tomb, and in many traditions, eggs are dyed red to symbolize the blood of Christ shed during the crucifixion.
The Easter bunnies are nothing more than folkloric figures and symbolise Easter traditions.
They are nothing more than traditional fun for children and brings joy and fun into the Easter celebrations.
For me, Easter is an opportunity to revive our enthusiasm for Christ and praise Him even more.
Finally, “I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you believe Easter brings glory to God, celebrate it, but if you think it might be sin, don’t do it.
“Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen

Therefore Go And Make Disciples Of All Nations Baptising Them In The Name Of The Father, Son, And Holy Spirit

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 06:30:56 GMT

Disciplined Followers Of Christ

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.28.19.NKJ

Matthew 28:19, is part of the "Great Commission," and is Jesus' final command to His disciples to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
It shifts the focus from a solely Jewish ministry to a global mission of evangelism, training, and baptism.
Rather than a command to just "go," the Greek phrase implies "as you are going, make teaching discipleship a part of one’s daily life.
A disciple is a follower who models their life after Jesus-a disciplined follower of Christ.
The words “Of all nations": tells us that our message is no longer restricted to Israel, but includes all ethnic groups and people wherever they are in the world.
Mathew 28:19, challenges Christians to move beyond passive belief and sharing the Good News, to commitment to actively train others in the faith.
The disciples as we believers today, were commanded to Baptise them", to take new believers through the process of making an everlasting covenant with God, that they take their place within the whole body of Christ to do their share. And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers today, are commissioned to share the gospel with non-believers-to bring them to the faith, teaching new believers how to obey Jesus' commands (discipleship).
The ultimate mission is to go to different cultures whatever their past sin, faults, and failures, their past beliefs or country of origin, to spread the message of salvation, bringing them to the Lordship of Christ, and baptising them in the name of the Father, Son, and holy Spirit.
The process, led by the holy Spirit has successfully passed on the “Good News” from generation to generation, and shall continue until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

He Is Not There; He Is Risen

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 06:10:56 GMT

The Easter Sunday Celebration

“He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.28.6.NKJ

These words, “He is not here; for He has risen”,is the angelic proclamation of Jesus' resurrection.
It signifies victory over death, confirming Jesus' divinity, fulfilling prophecy, and grounding Christian faith in a historical, witnessed event.
Paul gives us absolute confirmation of Jesus death and resurrection, telling us, “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The empty tomb is presented as evidence that Jesus’ promises are kept.
The angel points to the empty space where Jesus’ body had been, confirming that He is no longer there in the tomb.
This confirms a complete physical resurrection, not just a spiritual one, as the physical body is gone.
The words, "As He said", is the fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions about His death and resurrection, validating His reliability and authority.
An invitation from the angels to witness the evidence of the resurrection, with the words, “come and see”, primarily, to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, verifying the fact that the tomb was actually empty-Jesus’ body had gone from the tomb.
Easter Sunday is central to Christian faith, celebrating that not only had sin been defeated by the death of Jesus Christ, but death has been defeated too.
My beloved, the words “He is risen”, gives a confident hope of a wonderful eternal future to all who believe.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am Not Trying To Please People. I Want To Please God

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:00:21 GMT

Preach Only The Truth

GALATIANS 1:8-10
“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/gal.1.8-10.NKJ

V

Paul strongly denounced the Judaizers' twisting of the Good News of Christ. He said that God's curse should fall on anyone, even an angel from heaven, who came preaching a different kind of gospel.
The truth is, except fallen angels, no angel from heaven would come preaching another message, he would be one of those removed from heaven bringing lies and deception, no matter how he looked or sounded.
Paul warned that Satan and his servants disguise themselves as angels of light (2 CORINTHIANS 11:14-15) and they are set on misleading us and taking us to eternal death with them.
Paul invoked a curse on anyone including any angel who spreads false teaching. He extended that curse to include himself if he should twist the Good News.
The message must never change, for the truth (Jesus Christ) of the Good News is the same yesterday, today, and forever (HEBREWS 13:8).
In much of the church today, leaders have become people pleasers, operating their churches as businesses, rather than ministry, twisting scripture to fall in line with their money making projects just simply to survive.
They pour out messages of prosperity and make false promises of blessings on the people to encourage them to give bigger tithes and offerings.
In some cases they overlook wrong life styles, even in leadership if that person is blessing the church financially or sounds good from the pulpit.
Many find themselves on a pedestal stealing God’s Glory, because the congregation have been allowed to make them idols.
These things really shouldn’t be, but thank God, Jesus didn’t come for the righteous, but the sinners.
This is the old church system empowered by animal sacrifice, put together by the likes of the Pharisees is being systematically dismantled in these last days, and God is rising up a remnant, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ-the new wine.
The old has gone and the new is here.
That is the five fold ministry of Christ. ”And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This is Christ’ apostolic ministry where every member falls into at least one of the five categories and individually operates within the whole body, of which Christ is the only head. Furthermore, every member is individually spiritually gifted to edify the church.
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ NKJV
No more shall the pastor control and lord over the congregation; no more shall he shut down the apostles and prophets. His place is to shepherd and host.
No more shall the church operate under the management of people, but by the leading of the head, Jesus Christ.
For the old has gone the new is here.
The old wine is depleted and the new is being poured out as in the first miracle, and Jesus kept the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).
“Then He spoke a parable to them: “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We see today many churches have closed their doors as they struggle to keep the old alive, but still they are trying to hold on to the old religious church with people pleasing promises and projects, for they believe the old is better.
Do you spend your life trying to please everyone?
Paul spoke harshly to the Christians in Galatia because they were in serious danger.
He didn't apologise for his harsh words; he couldn't serve Christ faithfully if he allowed the Galatian believers to remain on the wrong track without warning them, and the same applies to us believers today.
It's easy to tell people what they want to hear, but we believers must say it as it is, even when the truth hurts.
Whose approval are you seeking, people's or God's? Ask God in prayer for the courage to seek God's approval above anyone else's, and to have the strength to say it as it is without sugar coating.
My brethren, we cannot continue living the lie-cherry picking what we want to believe; we cannot continue in fantasy land; it is time to live in truth and transparency, for it is the the truth that sets you free (JOHN 8:31-32) and transparent brings peace.
It’s time to embrace the new; to receive the new wine, for God saved the best until last.
With the new wine, comes new powers and freedoms in Christ., for the power is in the blood.
Jesus said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our world is becoming evermore darker and broken as we approach Jesus’ day of judgment.
But He is calling out to the people to turn to Him in repentance.
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“

He Was Wounded For Our Transgressions

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 06:18:27 GMT

By His Stripes We Are Healed

ISAIAH 53:5
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.53.5.NKJ

V

Isaiah 53:5 is a central Messianic prophecy describing Jesus’s crucifixion as a substitutionary sacrifice for humanity's sins.
It explains that the Messiah was "pierced" and "crushed" (suffered physically and mentally) to pay the penalty of the sin of all people ("transgressions" and "iniquities"), bringing reconciliation and peace with God and spiritual and physical healing to all who believe on Jesus Christ.
This prophetic message started with a question-“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Without belief (faith) it is impossible to be reconciled back to God (HEBREWS 11:6).
“But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
"Pierced through for our transgressions", refers to the physical suffering of Jesus on the cross, specifically the nails in His hands and feet, and the spear in his side, directly compensating for humanity’s willful sin and rebellion against God.
The cross was a public punishment for the worst of all criminals, such as murderers and was done to bring the most excruciating pain and shame upon the convict as a deterrent to others.
Jesus suffered publicly the most horrific punishment even though He never sinned, placing not only the punishment of all sin on Himself, but the shame too, and applies His spilled blood to the lives of all who believe on Him.
"Crushed for our iniquities" highlights the extreme suffering, bearing the heavy weight of shame and guilt of our sins.
The “Chastisement for our peace was upon Him" tells us that the punishment required for our sin was placed on Him, creating peace and reconciliation between God and humanity.
"By His stripes we are healed" signifies that through His wounding, we are made whole, physically and spiritually, restoring our very souls, our mind, will, and emotions (PSALM 143:11).
But I ask you my beloved? “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory be to God forever and ever! Amen

My Eyes Are Always On The Lord

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 06:04:42 GMT

Psalm 25

PSALM 25:14-17
“The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, And He will show them His covenant. My eyes are ever toward the Lord, For He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭25:14-17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.25.14-17.NKJ

V

Troubled by his enemies, in this psalm, David lifts his soul to God.
Very aware of his sinful nature, he asked for forgiveness (v18).
We are all in the same boat, and like David, we ought to come to God daily in repentance, asking for forgiveness of sin. Not necessarily because we wilfully fell into sin, but just as a precaution that we may of unknowingly sinned.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Lord is a friend to all those who “fear him"; to those who believe.
He offers intimate and lasting friendship to all who revere Him, who hold Him in the highest honour (JOHN 15:15).
No other relationship can ever compare with having the Lord of all creation as a friend.
Your friendship with Him will continue to grow as you respect and honour Him and know Him more.
It often feels like life's problems go from bad to worse; like our lives are in a downward spiral. Only God can reverse this downward spiral, take our problems and then turn them into glorious victories.
Only God can take our impossible situations, and use them to benefit us and teach and strengthen us.
Like David, we must take the first and most important step, which is to cry out to the Lord, saying “Turn to me and have mercy." When we are humbly willing to do that, God will do His work in us and our situations.
The truth is, nothing is too big, too great, too difficult or impossible for God; nothing is impossible with Him (LUKE 1:37; MATHEW 19:26), and He is faithful to keep all His promises.
My beloved, the secret of eternal joy, peace, and contentment is in God’s Word.
Psalm 25 is a heartfelt, acrostic prayer of David seeking divine guidance, forgiveness, and protection in the midst of trouble.
It highlights a humble trust in God's covenant mercy, prioritizing spiritual surrender ("lifting up the soul") over self-reliance. It is an example to follow.
David emphasises learning God's ways and waiting on Him in total surrender and trust (1-3). "To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul" signifies complete surrender, holding one's life out to God. It is an exclusive, trusting reliance that avoids the shame of worldly, empty pursuits.
Recognising that God guides the humble and teaches the sinners, he asks to be taught God's paths.
This guidance is not just for life's big decisions but a daily walk of faith (4-5; 8-10).
David asks God to forget the sins of his youth, relying solely on God's "lovingkindness" and "tender mercies" rather than his own merits.
It is a plea for mercy based on God's character, and an example we believers are called to follow.
Palm 25 transitions into a plea for protection from our enemies and deliverance, and highlights that even in fear and loneliness, the believer can trust God for inner peace and ultimate safety.
The psalm is structured in a Hebrew acrostic, with each verse starting with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet, emphasizing the an A to Z structure of completeness of God's mercy and forgiveness that He has for all believers.
Psalm 25 teaches us to bring our sins and struggles to God, trust in His covenant love, and follow His ways for a full and faithful life that heals even our very soul, our mind, will, and emotions.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Is Near To All Who Call Upon Him, To All Who Call Him In Truth

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:49:27 GMT

David's Song Of Majesty & Love (psalm 145)

PSALM 145:14-18
“The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145:14-18‬ ‭NKJV‬

God is a compassionate sustainer who actively helps the fallen. He provides for all living creatures and remains near to those who sincerely call upon His name.
These verses bring balance to God’s majestic power with His intimate care, promising strength to the weak, food to the hungry, and righteous grace to the brokenhearted.
Sometimes it seems our burdens are far more than we can bear and wonder how we can go on.
David stands at this bleak intersection of life's road and meditates on the Lord, the great burden bearer.
God is able to lift us up because of His greatness (145:3); He does mighty acts for each generation (145:4); He is full of majestic, glorious splendour (145:5); He does awe-inspiring deeds (145:5-6); He is righteous (145:7) He is loving, kind, merciful, patient, and compassionate (145:8-9); He rules over an everlasting Kingdom (145:13); He is the source of all our daily needs (145:15-16); He is kind and righteous in all of His dealings (145:17); He remains close to all those who call on Him (145:18); He hears our cries and rescues us (145:19-20).
If you are crumbling under the weight of burden, turn to God, bow before Him, for He is ready, willing, and able to take the weight off of your shoulders and lift you up.
Nothing is too big for our amazing, all powerful God. When God is for you, who can be against you (ROMANS 8:31-39).
But if one wants to experience the provision and blessings of the Lord, if one wants to experience the joy of the Lord, if one wants wants to receive the peace of the Lord, he must seek Him, call upon Him, and put His trust in Him alone.
“”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; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved, seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and ALL shall be added to you.
Jesus spilled blood paid it all-it covers your health, wealth and relationships; it covers even your children and as many of your loved ones as the Lord chooses to call (ACTS 2:38-39).
But my beloved, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Written by David, Psalm 145 is a joyous Hebrew acrostic psalm of praise that focused on God’s sovereign majesty, goodness, and compassionate care for creation.
Today, it serves as a personal commitment to worship God forever, highlighting His everlasting kingdom and role as a provider for all who call upon Him.
Make David’s psalm your personal commitment to worship; make his psalm your prayer of today.
Speak it out from your heart and lift our God high above all other gods:
“I will extol You, my God, O King; And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Your works to another, And shall declare Your mighty acts. I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, And on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, And shall sing of Your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord upholds all who fall, And raises up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, And You give them their food in due season. You open Your hand And satisfy the desire of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The Lord preserves all who love Him, But all the wicked He will destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord, And all flesh shall bless His holy name Forever and ever.”

All glory to God forever and ever. Amen!

The Son Of Man Did Not Come To Be Served, But To Serve, And To Give His Life As A Ransom For Many

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 06:10:37 GMT

All Must Do His Share

MATHEW 20:28

“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭20‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.20.28.NKJ

Here, Mathew explains that “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many".
He defines Jesus' mission as sacrificial service, not earthly power.
It redefines greatness as humility and establishes that His death is the payment to free humanity from sin and death.
Jesus challenges His disciples' request for high positions by stating that greatness in his kingdom is measured by humble service to others, not dominating them, as the Gentile leaders do.
Jesus, though He was King, indeed, King of all kings and LORD of all lords (REVELATION 19:16), came into the world, taking the humble position of a slave, offering a model of humility and active care (PHILIPPIANS 2:6-8).
The term "ransom" signifies a price paid to release a slave or captive.
Jesus is saying that His spilled blood, is the exchange payment to save humanity from slavery to sin and death.
"For Many", refers to all who believe in Him, indicating that His sacrifice is sufficient for everyone, but only effective for those who accept and believe it.
The verse comes after James and John ask for top positions, and is a message to all believers today, showing that Jesus is correcting their misguided, selfish ambition and emphasizing that His path leads to the cross, and each must carry his own cross (MATHEW 16:24; MARK 8:34; LUKE 9:23; LUKE 14:27).
This Scripture calls on all believers today, to adopt a posture of selfless sacrificial service, limiting their own rights and denying their preferences to serve others, mirroring Christ’s sacrifice.
Neither active service, nor funding, nor evangelism, is the sole responsibility of the so called leadership of the church, but the whole body of Christ.
Christ is the head and He directs the whole body according to His plans and purposes, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God Is Not Unjust; He Will Not Forget Your Work And The Love You Have Shown Him As You Helped His People And Continue To Help Them

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:30:56 GMT

Trust In The Lord & Do Good

HEBREWS 6:10
“For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.6.10.NKJ

When troubles come, we believers can quickly become discouraged, thinking that God has forgotten or abandoned us.
But the truth is, He never forgets us or overlooks our hard work and sacrifices that we make for Him.
It may feel like you are not receiving reward or acclaim, but God knows your efforts of love and ministry.
Let God's love for you and His intimate knowledge of your service for Him bolster you as you face disappointment and rejection here on earth.
The truth is, whatever the situation here in this world, God is always in control and He will not allow you to be tested more than you can stand (1 CORINTHIANS 10:13).
My beloved, your good wooks and service cannot save you, nevertheless, they never go unnoticed, God sees everything. Therefore, “”Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ NKJV).
My brethren, this world is facing troubles like never before and we are all being tested to our limits.
We have experienced man made pestilence poured out on the people of this world, forced immunisation, manipulation, unreasonable mandates, rules, and restrictions to our daily lives; furthermore, our world economies are collapsing, inflation is rocketing as fuel prices reach the highest levels ever, and on top of all this, world war looms over us.
The future looks bleak and scary, and many are loosing hope.
But in all these things, God is in control; and His message today is: “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm. For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, regardless of the evil things we are experiencing in this world today, keep doing good by reaching out and helping each other through their troubles.
Do not fret-do not become overwhelmed by fear, but rather trust in the Lord and His faithfulness. And even while facing extreme troubles of your own, continue to help others and share the Good News to all who have ears to listen.
Trust God, for He knows your needs and He certainly hasn't forgotten you.
While you focus on helping others out of love and service to God, He will send you the right help at the right time to deal with your troubles.
He shall not forsake you or leave you orphans (JOHN 14:15-18).
David calls us to take delight in the Lord and commit everything to Him.
To delight in someone means to experience pleasure and joy in his or her presence.
This can only happen when we know that person well.
To delight in the Lord, we need to know Him well and develop good relationship with Him.
That relationship can only come by spending quality time with Him, talking to Him, listening and learning about Him and studying His word, and asking Him for understanding and revelation.
The truth is, much of what God wants to say to you is written in the bible, therefore make a point of reading it and putting into practice what you learn.
Ask God for understanding and revelation, and speak His word out and allow it to do what God sent it to do (Isaiah 55:11), “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.“
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Knowledge of God's unfailing love for you will indeed give you delight.
Committing to the Lord means entrusting everything, our lives, families, jobs, and possessions to His leading and guidance, believing that He can care for us better than we can care for ourselves.
We should be willing to wait patiently for Him to act in our lives regardless of the situation (37:7).
Our Great and Almighty God hasn't forgotten you; He knows your needs and all the hard work you do; believe on Him, stand on His promises and trust him; and at the right time He will pour out his favour upon you and give you peace, His peace that surpasses all understanding that shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:4-7).
My beloved, Isaiah Prophesied an invitation to abundant life, therefore even if you don’t understand it, speak it out and receive it. For ”faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.“
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Isaiah told us, ”“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the Lord your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, speak it, receive it, and believe it, in Jesus name, for God’s word cannot return to Him void, it always achieves that what God sent it to do.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Behold, Your King Is Coming To You, Humble, & Mounted On A Donkey, On A Colt, The Foal Of A Beast Of Burden

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 05:48:56 GMT

Palm Sunday

“Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.” All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ” So the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest!” And when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?” So the multitudes said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.””

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.21.1-11.NKJV

Matthew 21:1-11 describes Jesus' "Triumphant Entry" into Jerusalem, marking the start of Passion Week (also known as Holy Week).

Jesus intentionally fulfills Zechariah 9:9 by riding a donkey, in fact, a colt not a war horse, establishing Himself as a King of peace.

The crowd hails him as the Messiah, shouting "Hosanna, Hosanna” and spreading branches, showing His royal, yet humble, arrival.

In verses 1-5, Jesus sends disciples to secure a donkey-a colt, fulfilling the prophecy.

A colt, highlights that He is in control of his final days, choosing a humble donkey to signify He is a gentle king whose mission was to bring peace rather than a military conqueror.

Verses 6-9 talks of the procession and worship, as a large crowd line the streets and spreads cloaks and branches on the road, honoring Jesus.

Their cries of "Hosanna" (meaning "Save us!") and "Son of David" directly identify Jesus as the promised King and Messiah.

While the crowd recognizes Him, most expected a political deliverer who will conquer Rome.

Jesus, however, is approaching the city to offer Himself as a Savior of the world that gives to all who believe on Him a confident hope of a wonderful eternal future through His upcoming crucifixion.

His entry causes a major move, or "earthquake" (Greek: seiō), leaving the city asking, "Who is this?" The crowd identifies Him as "the prophet from Nazareth"- not fully grasping that He was our Lord and Saviour.

This event is a public declaration of Jesus' messianic identity. He is not just the king, but the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (REVELATION 19;16)-the One who wins victory through sacrifice rather than violence. The One who defeated death and justifies our eternal future.

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Have Told You These Things, So That In me You May Have Peace. In this World You Will Have Trouble. But Take Heart! I Have Overcome The World

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 06:22:45 GMT

We Have The Ultimate Victory Through Christ

JOHN 16:31-33
“Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? Indeed the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered, each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.16.31-33.NKJ

We believers can expect our relationship with Christ to produce peace and comfort when we are "in sync" with Him.
At the same time, we should expect continuing tension with an unbelieving world that is "out of sync" with Christ, His Good News, and His people.
Here, Jesus prepares His disciples for His imminent arrest, predicting that they, out of fear, will literally abandon Him. But He assures them that while they will face horrific trials in the world, they can have peace and courage in Him, ultimately promising them and us today the ultimate victory, because He has overcome the world, and His message is a message of the ultimate triumph.
The disciples, out of fear scattered after Jesus was arrested (see MARK 14:50). Yet Jesus accepted their statement of faith even though He knew their weakness's back then and accepts our statement of faith in our weaknesses today.
Jesus summed up all He had told them this night, tying together themes from JOHN 14:27-29, 16:1-4, and 16:8-11.
With these words of verse 33, He told His disciples to take courage. In spite of all the trials and struggles they would inevitably face, for they would not be alone.
Jesus, does not leave us to face our trials and struggles alone, He is always with us.
If we remember that the ultimate victory has already been won, we can claim the peace of Christ throughout the most troublesome and difficult trials, troubles, and challenges that we face.
My brethren, despite the uncertainty surrounding us in this world today, take heart for Jesus Christ has overcome the world and the victory is ours through Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Love Does Not Delight In Evil, But Rejoices With Truth

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 06:32:43 GMT

Jesus Way Is Love

1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.13.4-7.NKJ

Much of society today confuses love with lust. God’s love, rather than being directed inwardly toward ourselves, is directed outward toward to others. It is totally unconditional and selfless.
This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations; this kind of love comes from God alone. We love Him because He first loved us (1 JOHN 4:19).
We can only achieve this kind of love by asking God to help us set aside our own natural desires, so that we can love without expectation of something in return. Thus, the more Christ-like we become, the more we will be able to put others first as did Christ.
Love is the very foundation of God’s way of life; to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind is the first and greatest of all commandment, and the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets (MATHEW 22:36-40).
Jesus said: ““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:43-48‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our love for others must extend beyond our close family and friends, it must reach out even to our enemies.
My brethren, we believers must be seen as different; selfless love should be the very foundation of our way of life.
This kind of love pours burning coals upon our enemies and brings many to repentance.
Therefore, “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To love others is a choice-a choice to care about others as we care about ourselves, to see theirs troubles as important as our own.
What one does to or for the least of Christ’ people, good or evil, does to or for Jesus Christ and will be judged accordingly (MATHEW 25:31-46).
Love is the very foundation of God’s way of life; all the Laws and the Prophets hang on the Law of love.
Truly I tell you, if everyone made the decision to obey God’s Law of love, this world would very quickly become a better place to live.
My beloved, God gives us many gifts, but the greatest of all gifts is love.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.“

We Demolish Arguments And Every Pretension That Sets Itself Against The Knowledge Of God. And We Take Captive Every Thought To Make It Obedient To Christ

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 05:04:54 GMT

Weapons Of Warfare

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
”‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.10.3-6.NKJ

V

Like Paul, we are merely weak humans, but fortunately, we are not alone and we don’t need to rely on human plans strength, or methods to win our battles.
God has given us a range of mighty weapons to use as we fight against the devil’s “strongholds.”
We believers have a choice, our weak human methods of the world, or God’s supernatural methods.
Paul assures and encourages us that God’s mighty weapons, prayer, faith, hope, love, and God’s word, combined with the leading of the Holy Spirit are powerful and effective (see EPHESIANS 6:13-18).
These weapons can break down the proud human arguments that go against God’s plans and purposes; they break the devil’s chains of bondage, and smash down walls that Satan builds to separate us from God.
When dealing with people’s arguments, often fuelled by pride that keep them from a real relationship with Christ, we can be tempted to use our own methods which simply don’t have lasting effect, if any.
Furthermore, the devil continually whispers wrong words into our emotions-words of fear, hatred, and falsities to bring division in ministry, family, marriage, and such as these.
But emotions are not a way of discernment and if allowed will lead us in the wrong direction.
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, nothing can break down these barriers like God’s all powerful mighty weapons, of which love is the greatest and the foundation of our faith, our way of life, and all the Laws and the prophets hang on the commandments of love (MATHEW 22:38-40).
Love, combined with all the spiritual gifts is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy, and is by far the greatest of all gifts.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Jesus Christ came to make a way where there was no way; He is faithful and true, and He is mighty to save. ”He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, because of what Christ has done, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, ”What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

May The Words Of My Mouth And The Meditation Of My Heart Be Pleasing To You, O Lord

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 06:48:46 GMT

The Perfect Revelation Of The Lord

PSALM 19:14
“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.19.14.NKJ

David, fully aware that God knows his every thought, his every word, and his every action, he asks that God approve his words and reflections as though they were offerings brought to the altar.
Would you change the way you live if you thought your every word and thought would be examined by God?
Paul said, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To present your body holy is totally without fault or mistake in any way, shape, or form, and a “living sacrifice” is submitting to God’s will.
Even though we cannot reach the mark of holiness in our own capacity, it is giving oneself to service and allowing God to start the good work of transformation in you. Not being “conformed” to this world, but to be “transformed”, which is to separate from the things of this world, not participating in its immoral ways, and cooperating with God, allowing Him to renew your mind, removing all the false beliefs, lies, and “old wives tales (1 TIMOTHY 4:7) that are passed on through the generations. It is to remove the addictions, and sinful desires that you inherited throughout your life; it is to allow God change the way you think and respond to the trials and challenges of life, and how you presents yourself in the presence of others, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God in your life.
That is to change even the way you think, that your thoughts, words, responses, and actions, become to be in the likeness of Jesus Christ in love, for God is love (1 JOHN 4:16).
His way of life is based on love, and all the Laws and the prophets stand on the two greatest commandments of all, ”’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NKJV
We cannot do this in our own strength. But Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God has sent His Holy Spirit to live within each and every one of His people, to lead, guide, and help them to walk the right path. Furthermore, He will never leave us orphans, and He is our guarantee of salvation 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14).
But having received the Spirit, we have a choice to walk in the Spirit or not.
The flesh is never quick to give up it’s place, and a battle begins within.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
Written by David, Psalm 19, is the perfect revelation of the Lord, culminating in a personal prayer for sanctification.
It moves from the cosmic heavens declaring God's power to the inner heart needing purification, showing how creation itself points to a Creator and His law transforms the soul.
Verses 1-6, speaks of the heavens, sky, day, and night, and are described as speaking a silent, universal language that reveals God's craftsmanship and glory to all humanity.
The sun is highlighted as a powerful, joyful witness, crossing the sky like a bridegroom or strong runner.
The focus shifts in verses 7-10, to God's "Law" or torah (instruction).
It is described as perfect, trustworthy, right, and pure, bringing refreshment, wisdom, joy, and enlightenment. It is more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey.
But verses 11-14 brings warning, highlighting the need for repentance.
David asks for cleansing from "hidden faults", sins that are unaware to him, and protection from "presumptuous" (willful) sins.
These Scriptures apply to us believers today and like David, we must ask God to reveal the hidden sin within, and cleanse and reshape us to holiness.
The Psalm concludes with a plea for both spoken words and inner thoughts to be acceptable to God, his "Rock and Redeemer".
My beloved, make this psalm your own, speak out the perfect revelation of the Lord, and make it your plea for holiness, that all your words and the meditations of your heart be acceptible in the sight of the Lord, our Strength and redeemer.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Will Give You A New Heart And Put A New Spirit In You

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:03:40 GMT

The New Is Here

EZEKIEL 36:25-27
“Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.
“‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36‬:‭25‬-‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/ezk.36.25-27.NKJ

V

God promised to restore Israel both physically and spiritually. To do this, He would need to give them a new heart and put within them a new spirit to transform their desires and attitudes to follow Christ and obey His decrees and regulations (see 11:19-20; PSALM 51:7-11).
Furthermore, He would put in them His Holy Spirit to lead them to do God’s will-giving them the desire and power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13) and keep His judgements.
Again the new covenant was promised (16:61-63; 34:23-25) ultimately to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus.
In Old Testament times, an animal sacrifice was needed to pay the debt of sin, It was like paying a fine in today’s world, and the people were called out to cleanse themselves.
Isaiah said, ”“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But since the death and rise of Jesus Christ, the debt of all sin was paid in full by the blood of Jesus, past, present, and future, and our lives in Christ were justified.
It is through water baptism that one gives public commitment to Christ and cleanses the flesh of sin, but it is baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire that comes from Christ that seals our redemption (LUKE 3:16).
For “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ NKJV
Gods Spirit joins with our spirit and we become one spirit in Him (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17)-our spirit is renewed.
The sprinkling of water was a representation of baptism in today’s world and the revival days to come.
Jesus made His public commitment to baptism by full immersion.
“John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus was baptised not for the redemption of His sin, but rather as His public declaration to the body of Christ and the new covenant which fulfilled all righteousness.
In the same way, all believers are called to baptism, following Jesus example of total immersion.
Baptism is a command that we believers must take very seriously.
Just as the Holy Spirit came upon Jesus, so He comes upon believers and fills them when their hearts are right. Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit is with you, and later when one’s heart is right, He lives in you and joins with your spirit. This is baptism of in the Spirit and you are saved.
John the Baptist put like this: “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
There is no timing for this, some are filled with the Spirit during baptism and even before baptism, others weeks or months after baptism, but when it happens, their are significant and noticeable change in how one lives his or her life, and often is confirmed by the gift of tongues.
Having said that, not all Spirit filled believers are gifted with tongues (1 CORINTHIANS 12:30).
This world has become a very dark place; corruption has overtaken much of our world and church leadership; never before have we experienced so many restrictions on daily life; our financial systems are collapsing, as is our health care systems; unemployment is rising as is poverty, and world war looms over us, and all these things are fuelling anxiety/ depression, and as a result, mental health issues are rising, including depression and suicidal thoughts.
But Gods word for today is very encouraging for His people, for His promises still stand.
While it looks like the church is dying, He asks a question of His Prophets:
“The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ” So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them. Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ””
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37:1-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, today the Lord is dismantling the old church with purpose; indeed it has pretty much gone.
This old church that was put together by the likes of the Pharisees by the Old Testament blood of animals, has always been “man’s church”, and is systematically passing away and the new is here, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, the new wine.
These dry bones shall live.
But the body of Christ will rise into the five fold ministry of Christ. ”And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus time is now, the new wine is being poured, and He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).
With new wine comes new powers and freedoms in Christ.
Jesus said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethre, despite the fact that many church leaders are trying desperately to hold on to the old because they believe the old is better (LUKE 5:36-39), but Israel is rising; Christ five fold ministry is gathering in strength and numbers day by day because Jesus is moving on His people and they are being revived.
The time of justice is here and the table has turned.
While most have given up on the promised justice, our corrupt leaders are running scared-for their lies are being systematically exposed.
For the Lord says: “And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord,” says the Lord God, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. Not for your sake do I do this,” says the Lord God, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel!” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I will do it.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock. Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ””
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭36:23-38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved Joel put it like this, and the time is now:
“”And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”

Give Us Today Our Daily Bread

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 06:28:28 GMT

Pray Like This

MATHEW 6:11
“Give us this day our daily bread.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.6.11.NKJ

This verse is a part of the Lord’s Prayer, in which Jesus showed us the order of which we should prioritise our prayers and speak them out.
Furthermore, how we can use God’s word and speak it over ourselves and others (MATHEW 6:9).
Jesus said, ”“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. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Some say we shouldn’t repeat Jesus’ prayer because rather than copying, we should use our own words. But that is a misconception.
Yes, of course we should choose some words of thankfulness and praise and even have conversation with Him. But God’s word is powerful, perfect, and authoritative and is capable of moving even the biggest of mountains in our lives.
Prayer is our conversation with God; it is personal and should never be used to put oneself on a pedestal. Nor should it be used to manipulate or impress others.
The Lord’s Prayer is the perfect prayer, and like much of God’s word, is our legal arguments to restore, heal, and serve, ”For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s Word breaks the devil’s hold, his demonic assignments, and brings freedom, healing, peace, and joy; it makes way for God’s will to be done here on earth as it is in heaven.
God’s Word exposes the evil within us and actively changes our very nature from within when it is put to work, for God’s Word always accomplishes that what He sent to do, and never returns to our Father void (ISAIAH 55:11).
God’s Word, when spoken by the leading of the Holy Spirit, is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy and their evil schemes.
But, for it to do its job, one must speak it over one’s self, others, and the issues and circumstance, and believe on the positive outcome.
When we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread (food),” we are not only asking for provision, but acknowledging that God is our provider and our sustainer.
It is a total misconception to believe that us humans can provide for ourselves; does God not make His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and send rain down upon on the just and on the unjust (MATHEW 5:45)?
Would anything grow without God’s natural provisions?
Furthermore, we need more than just physical food to sustain us and keep us healthy; we need good healthy spiritual food and nourishment that can only come from God’s word that enables us to grow in Christ.
Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This verse is so true; eternal death awaits all who fail to take in God’s word regularly, digest it, and put into practice all that it teaches.
God’s Word is more than a written book, it is living and powerful and actively operates for us from within as when we speak it out.
Whilst the Holy Spirit connects to our spirit, God’s Word is absorbed through the senses of the flesh and operates within our very soul’s (our mind, will, and emotions) to deliver our souls out of trouble and change the way we think.
God’s Word transforms us by renewing our minds that we become Christ like people, with understanding of what is that good, and acceptable, and the perfect will of God (HEBREW 4:12).
For God is love (1JOHN 4:16), and “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we must all make time to take in God’s word every day and learn how to use it, for it is a two edged sword, a major weapon given to us to fight the enemy, and there’s no room for complacency.
Just as we can choose to eat both healthy or unhealthy physical food, we can choose to take in healthy or unhealthy spiritual food.
Spiritual junk food is available to all; you will find it on YouTube, the media, tv, and so on.
The devil is good at making it taste good through his false prophets and teachers; but actually, much is like poison to the soul.
Whilst Jesus come to save your soul (PSALM 116:8; LUKE 19:10), the devil came to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10.
Good healthy spiritual food can only be found in your Bible.
Their are some good godly teachers bringing God’s word through the media, but because their are many false teachers too, it is very important to test and approve the spiritual source of that information (1 JOHN 4:1), that we are able to confidently discern what is really true. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free (JOHN 8:32).
We all have both spiritual and physical needs.
Life can be a struggle, especially in these last days where poverty is rising, inflation is rising far more quickly than salaries, pestilence has become a very serious concern to all and life is becoming more and more challenging; even the threat of world war looms over us bringing all kinds of worries and anxieties.
The Bible tells us some 365 times, “do not fear.”
Fear, anxiety, and worry, are pretty much the same thing, and is the opposite of faith, like hot is the opposite of cold.
Fear is actually a sin, because God commands us, “do not fear,” and it is impossible to please God without faith (HEBREWS 11:6).
Fear is the very source and food of depression and confusion, and without it, anxiety depression cannot live in you.
We humans are all too quick to worry over every little thing; what we don’t have, what we might lose, or our so called needs, our trials and tribulations; we worry over our children and their circumstances, and wonder why we lose our peace and joy. Yet in all things, when one seeks first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all will be added to him.
We don’t even need to ask, God is faithful and we can stand upon His promises.
“”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; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25-34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Jesus prayer is the perfect prayer, it gives good instruction, it is powerful, and covers all our daily needs.
Therefore start your every day “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

There Is No One Like You, There Is No God But You

Apply The Blood

2 SAMUEL 7:22
“Therefore You are great, O Lord God. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
”‭‭II Samuel‬ ‭7:22‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2sa.7.22.NKJ

This section (v18-22), is David’s prayer of thanksgiving, expressing his humble acceptance of God’s promise to extend his dynasty.
Overwhelmed by grace, David expresses deep humility, praises God's unique greatness, and prays for the fulfillment of the promise to bring glory to God, acknowledging his own unworthiness and God’s faithfulness.
David realised that these blessings were given to him and his descendants, that Israel might benefit from them and would help to fulfil God’s greater promise, that through the nation the whole world would be blessed (Genesis 12:1-3).
How great is our God? His plan to save us is more than just great, we cannot begin to fathom the greatness of God: The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork (19:1)
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all host of them by the breath of His mouth (PSALM 33:6).
There is no other God like Him; He has no equal nor rival, He is the name above every other name, and He shall reign forever.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (JOHN 14:6).
There is no other person, object, or god that can save you; despite Mary’s holiness and love for God; despite the fact that she was chosen to be the mother of Jesus Christ, she cannot give you eternal life. Nor your pastor or the pope-nor any other religious organisation, nor science or any action or good deed; nor money or status, or anything of this world.
Only Jesus can save you, and all you need to do is give your life to Him.
So often success in this life come from who you know rather than your personal abilities or qualifications; this is true of salvation.
It is impossible to be saved by good works or good deeds, for we have all already sinned.
“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many say that God would not send “good people” to hell, but my question is, by whose standards is “good”?
They say that we are saved by grace, which is true, but grace does not override justice.
Therefore, we must be cleansed of all sin by the blood of the Lamb, who took your place and mine on a cross to justify our eternal future.
Salvation is a free gift, but one has to apply Jesus spilled blood to his or her life to receive it.
Jesus is the coming Judge who will decide your eternal future, and only by knowing and believing on Him can anyone be saved.
“For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, if you haven’t already, get to know Jesus. Go into your room, shut the door, and in private, call upon the name of Jesus; ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Start the process of developing a relationship with Him and submit to Him.
He loves you and is faithful to save all with a repentant heart. He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
For “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the promise is extended to your children and as many of your loved ones as God chooses to call (ACTS 2:39).
This is more than “Good News”, it is “Amazingly Wonderful Good News”.
For the Holy Spirit is not only the seal of your Salvation; He is your help as you walk with God (JOHN 14:15-18)
He is your leader, teacher, and guide (JOHN 14:26).
He is your wisdom from God-and righteousness and sanctification and redemption
(1 CORINTHIANS 1:30).
Once received, nothing can stop one’s salvation; not one faults or failures, nor his sinful past or future mistakes, not his foolishness, nor poor health or even death, but he or she must apply the blood.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

So When They Had Rowed Three Or Four Miles, They Saw Jesus Walking On The Sea And Drawing Near The Boat; And They Were Affraid

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 07:09:21 GMT

Peter Walks Upon The Water

JOHN 6:16-21
“Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
“‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.6.16-21.NKJ

Like Jesus disciples, we often start a journey or project without having Jesus on board; and just like them, we find ourselves in stormy waters.
When we find ourselves in trouble, we become fearful, and we quickly loose our peace.
If only we had Jesus on board from the beginning, we may not of faced the storm at all.
Even though the disciples chose to go ahead without Jesus, He was there for them. In deed He walked on the stormy water to be with them; He said, "Don't be afraid, I am here!" The disciples were eager to get Him on board, and as soon as they did, they immediately arrived at their destination.
They needed a miracle and they got one.
Maybe you have started a project or journey without Jesus on board, and you have found yourself in a desperate situation and in need of some supernatural help.
Whatever difficult situation you have got yourself into, call upon the name of Jesus, for He is faithful to rescue you, even when you went ahead without him, or got involved in something that is wrong.
Jesus wants to help you, and He is faithful to do just that, just as soon as you submit to His will and put your trust in Him.
He doesn’t take away free will, so He will stand back whilst you do your own thing.
But immediately you submit to His way, He will step in; maybe not the way you had hoped for, but He will bring the miracle you need.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭22‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The story of Jesus walking on water, demonstrates His divinity and authority over nature.
After sending his disciples ahead by boat, Jesus comes to them during a storm, inviting Peter to walk on the stormy water.
Whilst focused on Jesus, he was able to rise above the storm and walk upon the waters, but when hearing the noise, fear came in and Peter sinks because his focus became the storm instead of Jesus, highlighting that faith requires continuous focus on Christ to overcome fear.
Jesus instructs the disciples to go ahead while he prays alone, demonstrating two points, sometimes He sends us into the storm alone, and the priority of prayer.

When tested, like the teacher in a school classroom, Jesus doesn't intervene unless it is absolutely necessary. However, He doesn't test us more than we can stand (JAMES 1:13-15), and is always in arms reach to calm the storm.

The disciples are "battered by the waves" and wind, representing the trials of life.
The Supernatural Appearance of Jesus walking on the water in the "fourth watch of the night" (3-6 a.m.), showcases His control over chaotic forces.
He comforts them, saying, "Take heart; it is I; do not be afraid," using the divine "I AM" phrase.
Peter takes a bold step of faith to walk on the water, and succeeds for a time, but "notices the strong wind" and fear causes him to lose focus and sink.
Jesus rescues him, asking, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?".
Upon entering the boat, the wind ceases, leading the disciples to worship Jesus as "the Son of God".
When focused on Jesus, just like Peter, you can literally walk upon the stormy waters in your life. But it is encouraging to know that if like Peter, the noise of the storm becomes too overwhelming and the fear comes in and you start to sink, Jesus is always there, close enough to take your hand and lead you to safety and then calm the storm (MATHEW 14:30-33).
Fear, is the opposite of faith, like hot is the opposite of cold and is sourced from unbelief.
In another situation, the disciples failed to cast out a demon. Then they came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But in this situation, unbelief wasn’t the only issue, and He went on to say, ”However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In some situations, prayer and fasting is necessary to break the hold of the devil.
Prayer, on its it’s own is powerful, but combined with fasting, it becomes a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy.
Therefore, sensibly fast regularly, not for personal gain, nor to lose weight, but as a sacrificial offering to God, remove the unbelief, and “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

Therefore Confess Your Sins To Each Other And Pray For Each Other So That You May Be Healed

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:44:29 GMT

Take Responsibility For Your Actions

JAMES 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
”‭‭James‬ ‭5:16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.5.16.NKJ

Sin is like a virus within us, and unless it is dealt with, it will, like a snow ball rolling down hill, grow in size and power and lead us to eternal death.
Sin brings us into agreement with the devil and allows his demons to take possession of areas of our lives and hold us in bondage, because sin separates us from God.
Many say, the devil possesses no one, because possession is ownership, and the devil owns no one. But actually, if someone steals your car, the thief has possession, but when caught, he has to give it back.
The demonic, once in, have a massive influence over one’s thoughts, desires, decisions, actions, and emotions; and they will use that influence to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10), not only the captive, but also their loved ones and other believers through lies, deceptions, influence, and manipulation.
Repentance is the way to freedom, but requires more than simply saying sorry.
Repentance is taking responsibility for our wrong actions and doing everything possible to change.
When we confess our sins to one another and pray into it together, we are showing ourselves as taking responsibility for our wrongdoing; that step will enable Jesus to draw closer to us and open the door to deliverance and break the hold the devil has on us.
For, “He (Jesus) is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Confession to God can save us from eternal death, but if one hides his sin from all others, the devil will use it to bring fear of exposure and hold it over that person.
Confession to one’s pastor or trusted friend breaks the devil’s hold completely.
It immediately takes away the devil’s hand and makes way for freedom.
It is an easy process; repent-sin no more-turn from sin toward God. Resist the evil thoughts of the devil and verbally call him out and evict him, then, “he shall flee from you,” for even the demons are subject to God’s Spirit filled people in Jesus name (LUKE 10:17).
These unclean spirits and demons are like squatters, if you leave the door open, they will move in and you will need the judge to issue an eviction notice to evict them.
That eviction notice is the authority of Christ in a repentant believer.
Sin brings one into agreement with the devil and he gains authority to enter him.
Furthermore, these demons enter through the sins of our ancestors, through false beliefs, un-forgiveness, offence, ungodly souls, and even past hurts and traumas
But repentance brings one into line with God and gains him God’s given power and authority over the demonic.
My beloved, Jesus is the One who moves mountains, knocks down walls, and breaks every chain. He is the One who breaks curses and tears down every strong hold of the mind (false beliefs); He is the One who sets the captives free, and “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Confession to God makes way to eternal life, but when we confess to one another we take away the devil’s ability to hold our past over us.
Obviously, we need to be wise-confession should be to people who we can really trust-your pastor, or a close brother or sister in Christ.
You don’t want to become a victim of gossip.
Sin and it’s ability to separate us from God will have a very negative affect on our prayers too, but the effectiveness of fervent (passionate; sincere; heartfelt) prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
And he prayed again, this time for the rain to come, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit (JAMES 5:17-18).
His prayers were answered.
It is encouraging that when one remains close to God, like Elijah his prayers shall avail much.

Therefore, pray for each other so that you may be healed.

Is there anything hidden in your life that might separate you from God? Does the devil have any kind of hold on you?
We’ve all had something in closet at some time in our lives that we want to keep hidden, but the truth is, we have to take responsibility for our past before we can be free to walk in our eternal future.
My beloved, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it’s time to live transparent lives, to take responsibility for our wrongdoings, and submit to our God.
Truly I tell you, transparency brings peace.
We can do nothing good in our own strength, but we can do all things through Christ who is our strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
For, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, having received the Holy Spirit, we must choose to walk in the Spirit, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But through faith alone, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When saved, God’s Holy Spirit joins our spirit and we become one spirit with Christ
(1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit manifests Himself through our soul, our mind will and emotions, when we agree, to gives us the desires to do what is pleasing to Him and the power to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13), and out of the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
That is to walk not to satisfy the lust of the flesh, but in the Spirit.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
However, sin separates us from God, and He immediately retreats from the flesh.
It feels like He has left us; like we are alone in the wilderness, but He never leaves us orphans
(JOHN 14:15-18).
But rather than condemn, He convicts repentance and change from within.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
Please share to our brothers and sisters all around the world.
God bless you all.

Do Good And Share With Others, For With Such God Is Pleased

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 07:11:12 GMT

Jesus Time Is Now!

HEBREWS 13:15-16
“Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.13.15-16.NKJ

Because of their witness to the Messiah, these Jews no longer worshiped God with other Jews, and needed to consider praise and acts of service-their sacrifices for God that they could offer anywhere and at anytime.
Praise should not be restricted to once a week in church. Indeed believers should turn their focus toward daily praise-praising God regularly throughout each and every day wherever they are.
And don’t forget to do good and share, for with such sacrifices, God is well pleased.
Commitment means putting God first, making time for regular prayer, regular study, regular praise with thanksgiving, living in obedience to God, making time for assembly, participating, and doing one’s share of service.
Furthermore, the funding of the church falls on the shoulders of the whole congregation and all should participate by the Spirit’s leading.
This is presenting your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service (ROMANS 12:1).
Jesus died to pay your debt of sin, not so that you can continue in it.
”I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬
My brethren, yes, it is good to attend church on Sunday, for we must not forsake the assembly of ourselves (HEBREWS 10:25), but you can sing His praises in your homes or in your cars, indeed, you can praise Him from any place at anytime.
Therefore, make time for Jesus and praise His Holy name.
There is power worship, in deed, David, by his playing his harp, cast out demons (1 SAMUEL 16:23).
Praise and worship had power over sickness, addiction, poverty, bondage, and every spiritual enemy.
Therefore, sing heart felt praises to the Lord with thanksgiving.
My beloved, something new is happening, for the old religious church, put together by the likes of the Pharisees, is being dismantled, for the old is passing away.
The old wine is depleted, but the new is here, for Jesus time is now and the new wine is being poured out (JOHN 2:1-11).
The true five fold ministry of Christ is being established throughout the world to create a new body of people, of which Christ is the head (EPHESIANS 4:11).
But, ”No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved, many religious leaders are trying to hold on to the old, for they believe that the old is better.
But the truth is, the old was empowered by the blood sacrifice of animals from the Old Testament.
Hence, the people hold on to the old religious laws.
But today, because Christ is the Lamb that was slain, and the new is empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, which is the new wine.
Furthermore, what comes with the new wine is new powers, freedoms, and authority that manifest the signs and wonders of God.
I am here to tell you, that He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:10).
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It’s not that we believers can do anything good by our own power and abilities, but it is Christ in me that does it all (GALATIANS 2:20).
But concluding the religious direction,
“Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat. For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp. Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come. Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey those who rule over you, and be submissive, for they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.“
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭7‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Now That I, Your Lord And Teacher, Have Washed Your Feet, You Also Should Wash One Another's Feet

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 06:42:47 GMT

Jesus, The Example To Follow

JOHN 13:12-15
“So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
”‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.13.12-15.NKJ

Jesus, washing His disciples feet was more than Him being nice to them so they would be nice to each other.
He had a far greater goal to extend His mission here on earth after He had gone.
This act occurred in the upper room just before the Passover Festival, during the Last Supper, where Jesus demonstrated humility and service by washing his disciples' feet, including Judas', who was to betray Him, to show them that true greatness lies in serving others.
Jesus laying aside his garments and washing the disciples' feet, and then drying them with a towel, demonstrated a model of servant leadership (JOHN 13:1-5).
Jesus said, If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet".
This symbolises a total cleansing from sin and acts of love and dedication to His people, and as a profound example of his upcoming sacrifice, where He humbled Himself to serve humanity.

We believers are called to sacrifice ourselves for one another in service to God, to help, encourage, and lovingly discipline, when needed, our brothers and sisters in Christ, cleansing one another by encouraging repentance and through prayer by applying blood sacrifice of Christ.
These men were to go forth into the world in their service to God, serving with and for one another, and all people whom received the message of salvation, and we must continue their good work by following their example.
If Christ Jesus, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS (REVELATION 19:16), can, at a time when He was about to be nailed to a cross, wash the feet of His disciples, knowing that they was actually going to deny Him, surely, we must get understanding of His message and follow His example.
Jesus humbly served His disciples to the point that He washed their feet; surely today, we can find it in our hearts to carry on the Good work that Jesus Christ started by dedicating our lives to serving God and one another in love, and all people whom have received the message of salvation, that we come together as one body in Christ, ”till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Service to the Lord is not limited to the leaders on the pulpit; every member of the congregation is a member of the body and must do his or her share. ”For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved every member is called and gifted to serve (1 CORINTHIANS 12:8-10), within the five fold ministry of Christ.
Furthermore, every member falls into at least one of the five categories, for we all operate under the offices of apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelist (EPHESIANS 4:11), and are called to serve and work together accordingly, like a well oiled machine; not to serve man, but God, by the leading of the in dwelling Holy Spirit in us.
Today’s life is temporary, as is all the worldly things we can gain; but life in Christ is eternal and is and should always be our number one goal.
Christ humbled Himself, and put each and every one of us before Himself; in deed, He lived and died for you! Are you willing to put Christ first, and live for Him?
Jesus came into the world in human form and took the humble position as a slave (PHILIPPIANS 2:6), not to condemn the world, but to save it (JOHN 3:16).
Today, His Spirit dwells in us, His people, so that He can continue His good work in us and through us until it is finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns (PHILIPPIANS 1:6).
But, if He is to be successful through each of us individually, we must submit to Him individually and allow His will to be done through us.
My beloved, Jesus paid a high price to set you free from the curse of sin and death ; not to do as you like and continue in sin. ”For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But rather, my beloved, you are free to serve Christ and continue the good work of salvation until it is finally finished on the day Jesus Christ returns.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Declare His Glory Among The Nations, His Marvellous Deeds Among All People

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 06:55:09 GMT

All Of The Glory

1 CHRONICLES 16:24-26
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.
”‭‭I Chronicles‬ ‭16:24-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1ch.16.24-26.NKJ

Our Almighty God is worthy of all praise; there really isn’t another like Jesus Christ.
His is the name that is above every other name. He is our King of kings, the Lord of Lords
(1 TIMOTHY 6:15; REVELATION 17:14; REVELATION 19:16; He is the King of glory (PSALM 24:8-10).
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God’s plan was always to save His people, “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our God deserves all the glory, but heart felt praise comes from recognition and declaring of God’s character, goodness, and attributes in the presence of others.
When we affirm His greatness and His goodness, when we are holding up His perfect moral nature for all to see, and at the same time, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness and ability to help us in times of tribulation.
Testimony not only lifts our God high, but is an encouragement to others.
Therefore, tell the world of the treasure you found and lift our God in glory; let the world know that this wonderful gift of life is available to all people, regardless of their sinful past.
But know this, all the false gods of the people such as false religions, statues, moulded images, people, and even money, our homes, or cars, and ornaments, can be, if we allow them, become false gods and idols; they stand between man and God, and yet, they have no real power or security.
My brethren, the Lord should be feared, for His name is jealous; He is a jealous God (EXODUS 34:14).
He is the creator; By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth (PSALM 33:6).
It is in Him alone you have true security, peace, and contentment in today’s world and the next. There is no other like Him, He is the name above every other name.
Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (JOHN 14:6).
There is no other way, nor is there any other faith, religion, god, or person that can save you.
Jesus is “the truth”, the only truth you can truly trust, and He is “the life”, He is the Lamb that was slain that justified your eternal future (REVELATION 5:12) and the source of resurrection life-He is the One who conquered the grave.
My beloved, He is the only way to the Father in heaven-to eternal life (JOHN 14:6).

Therefore, make time to know Him, He is the the coming judge who will decide your eternal future.
Put your trust in Jesus and sing His praises; tell the world what He has done for you and give Him all of the glory.

My beloved, you can bath in His glory, you can soak in His glory, but you cannot steal His glory.

God will not allow you to steal His glory.

Therefore "whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17 NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Our God, The Lord Is One

Love Your God & Your Neighbor

DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9
“”Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
”‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭6:4-9‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/deu.6.4-9.NKJ

The Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God, and yet, even though it is not pacifically written in our Bibles, they are the perfect trinity.
The word Father is a title, as is the word Son.
The word Spirit is a description of a person without a physical body. He is the Holy Spirit-He always was and always will be.

We humans were, unlike God, who was not created-He's not a creature, were created in God's image, spirit beings before we was in our mothers womb.

Some say that was only God's planning, not reality, but God not only knew Jeremiah before He formed him in his mother's womb, but He sanctified and ordained him a prophet too (JEREMIAH 1:5). He would have exited before he was born to be sanctified and ordained.

The Bible affirms that God is eternal—existing before creation, in the present, and forevermore—often described as the "Alpha and Omega" or the "I AM." Key verses highlighting God’s eternal, unchanging nature include Revelation 1:8, Psalm 90:2, and Hebrew 13:8.
But He is also in person, the Father of all things, He always was and always will be, and a person, God in human form (PHILIPPINIANS 6), He always was and always will be, for, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, even though He co existed from the beginning, He is a Son to the Father. “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus was not created, for it is written, “every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
There’s no mistake, Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (JOHN 1:29).
Therefore, our Almighty God is three person in One God, which is why God’s people are commanded to be baptised in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (MATHEW 28:19).
He who sits on the throne, the Father, the Lamb, who is the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We can be certain that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are separate persons, because “When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus wasn’t baptised for the remission of sin, for He never sinned (2 CORINTHIANS 5:21; HEBREWS 4:15; 1 PETER 2:22), but rather, as a public declaration of His covenant with His people.
Therefore, as a public declaration to Christ, Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Baptism is a command to all believers and by it, we become one body of people, filled with the Holy Spirit, of which Christ is the head

(1 CORINTHIANS 12:12).

Jesus said we are ‘to love God with all of ourselves;” this is the first and greatest commandment, and the second is like it, to love your neighbor as yourself.’ These commandments encompass all the other Old Testament laws. (MATHEW 22:37-39).
Moses, in the days leading up to the end of his leadership, laid out the essentials for us to follow God and raise our children.
This passage provides the central theme of Deuteronomy, setting a pattern that helps us relate the Word of God to our daily lives.
We are to love God, thinking constantly about His commandments night and day, teaching our children and living by the guidelines set out in His word.
We should write them on our door post and gates so we see them every time we pass, and on our fridges too, that they become embedded deep in our hearts and minds, and are a constant reminder of God’s love, so that He becomes the influence of everything we see, say, do, and believe.
God emphasised the importance of teaching God’s word to our children-eternal truths are most effectively learned in the environment of a loving home.
God’s word is the solid foundation that will lead them to a wonderful glorious future as they grow-up walking with God and finding their way in life. Furthermore, they too, will pass on God’s eternal truths to the generations to come.
Jesus repeated these instructions to love the Lord in Mark 12:29-30 and MATHEW 22-37-40.
To love is the greatest of all commandments, all the Law and the Prophets stand upon these two great commandments (MATHEW 22:40).
When one is obedient to the Law of love, obedience to all Gods commandments shall be fulfilled, for love is the foundation of Christ Jesus’ way of life.
Love is far more than a feeling or an emotion; it is an action and a duty of care toward others-too see others problems as your own, and to make every effort help them through their troubles without expectation of any kind of payment or reward, for God’s kind of love is selfless and unconditional.
To love your neighbor as yourself is a duty of care toward others-your neighbors in your street, village, town, and even over seas; they are all your neighbors.
My beloved, if only we could all learn to love one another and put these two great commandments into practice, this world would very quickly become a better place to live.
Kindness comes without a price tag, and one random act of kindness leads to another, and can not only change lives, but often leads to another and another and another, for the true love of Christ is contagious.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

When Anxiety Was Great Within Me Your Consolation Brought Me Joy

Expose The Truth, But Vengeance Belongs To The Lord

PSALM 94:16-19
“Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94:16-19‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.94.16-19.NKJ

V

These words are a comfort to all believers, that through all their troubles and tribulations-in the multitude of their anxieties, in the face of evil doers-the grossly immoral behaviour that comes against them, God is in control and He will stand for His people and hold them up.
My brethren, in these last days of darkness, in these days where the threat of world war hovers over us, in these days where anxiety, fear, depression and suicides are prevalent, where would we be without Him?
Jesus is our source of help-He is our comfort in the midst of our anxieties. He is our peace and our joy, and He is our victory in every circumstance (DEUTERONOMY 20:4;
1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
Truly I tell you, “”Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Psalm 94 is a psalm of encouragement; that in all things God remains in total control.
But it is a reminder that vengeance belongs to the Lord, and that even though the wicked may seem triumphant, the day is coming when the table will turn and they will be sent down into the pit.
Having said that, we believers are obligated to expose the corruption for the sake of our brethren, “For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?””
‭‭Esther‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬
But however, in every circumstance, God is our defence, our rock, and a place of refuge for all who believe on Him.
“O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth! Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud. Lord, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph? They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves. They break in pieces Your people, O Lord, And afflict Your heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless. Yet they say, “The Lord does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.” Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see? He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge? The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile. Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, And teach out of Your law, That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked. For the Lord will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance. But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You? They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood. But the Lord has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge. He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The Lord our God shall cut them off.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94‬:‭1‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬

Blessed Be The One Who Endures Trials

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 07:35:58 GMT

Deliverance Is Key To Change

JAMES 1:12-15
“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:12-15‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.12-15.NKJ

The crown of life is not glory here on earth, but rather the reward of eternal life. It is like a victory wreath given to winning athletes.
Here on earth, athletes run a race to receive a perishable (tempory) crown, but for those in the race for eternal life, the winners crown is imperishable (1 CORINTHIANS 9:25).
Many believe that God is the one who tempts us, but the truth is, temptation comes from within ourselves.
It begins with a single thought and becomes sin when we give in to it and turn it in to an action.
Sin, like a snow ball becomes bigger and more destructive as it picks up pace, as if it is running down a steep hill (JAMES 1:12-15).
If we continue in a particular sin, it becomes more and more acceptable to us, as if it’s not sin at all.
The worlds moral standards may of deteriorated, but God’s haven’t. The world may say, “we must move on in this changing world, but however, it God’s opinion that counts, and sin is sin however much man tries to justify it.
But the truth is, sin, however we see it, will become more and more destructive to us and can lead us to our eternal death.
When we indulge in sin, we come in agreement with the devil and let him and his evil spirits and demons into our lives to drag us into the darkness even more.
Sin separates us from God, and allows the devil in to areas of our life and we can become demonised or possessed (MATHEW 8:16).
Many believe that a Christian cannot be possessed; they say possession is ownership, and the devil owns no one. But our bodies are simply vessels for us to live in, to get around, and operate in this physical world.
If squatters enter your home they don’t automatically own it; in fact they never own it at all, but they possess the rooms that they have occupied.
But the real owner still has his name on the deeds and still owns the property; even so, he will need a court order to evict them.
In the same way, unclean spirits and demons enter our bodies because we opened the door when we indulge in sin, for we come into agreement with the devil and give him authority to enter; therefore we need Jesus Christ the ultimate judge to issue the eviction notice when we repent and turn back toward God and regain the authority to evict them.
Even more disturbing, the devil has demonised many because of the sin of their ancestors.
Many come into the world with generational curses that come through the blood line because of the sin of their ancestors (EXODUS 20:5).
Thank God that He gave us authority over these devil’s to cast them out in Jesus name (LUKE 10:17).
When one becomes saved, the Holy Spirit joins with his or her spirit and he or she becomes one spirit with Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17). Therefore, his or her spirit becomes perfected (HEBREWS 5:9), and “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
For “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
One’s life in Christ has become sealed through the covenant of faith, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, we must make our spirit king, subject to the King of kings; our soul, which is our mind, will and emotions, servant to the king, and putting death to our sinful nature, make our flesh slave.
It is then that the Holy Spirit shall manifest Himself through our flesh to do good works, for He gives us both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13), and out from the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
“Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, it is no longer I, but Christ in me (GALATIANS 2:20).
However, God does not take away our free will and our flesh is not quick to give up its lust, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one submits to the flesh and falls back into sin, the Holy Spirit retreats from the flesh, but remains connected to his or her spirit.
It feels like He has left us, like we are in the wilderness alone, but as promised, He never leaves us (JOHN 14:15-18). However, rather than condemn, He convicts repentance from within.
However, His separation from the flesh, opens the way for the demonic to enter by the flesh and one becomes demonised and deliverance is needed.
Once saved, the demonic cannot touch one’s spirit, for he or she is one spirit in Christ.
James told us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved resist the temptations of the devil, repent, call him out, and he shall flee from you.
Maybe you are hearing voices from within, or are victim to nightmares, or are caught up in addiction, or wrong repetitive actions that you don’t want to do, or are suffering with poor health, anxiety/ depression, or self harm, or are having suicidal thoughts; if so, you most likely need deliverance and should seek an appropriate ministry and get set free.
The best way to stop temptation is to nip it the bud by avoiding people, places, and situations that are likely to give you trouble.
If allowed, temptation will gain momentum and will become too powerful to control and repentance will become pretty much impossible.
We often try to justify sin by making excuses or blaming others for our evil thoughts and actions.
We use excuses just like Adam, she made me do it (GENESIS 3:12), I couldn’t help it, everyone does it, it was a mistake, the devil made me do it, I was desperate, and many more. But the truth is, the devil can tempt you, people can tempt you, and situations can tempt you, but it is your personal choice whether to indulge or not.
Therefore, before you fall, contemplate Pauls words: No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The way to be in God’s winners circle is by loving Him and staying faithful even when under pressure, by listening and being obedient to the guidance of His Word and the Holy Spirit who leads in all truth (JOHN 16:13).
We will all make mistakes, for we are sinners and to say we are not is calling God a liar (1 JOHN 1:10).
So when we do slip back into sin, we must take responsibility for our actions and repent.
Repentance is far more than simply saying sorry; repentance is submitting to God, turning around from wrong doing toward God, for His way is the only way.
Like squatters, the demonic are unlikely to give up their home without a fight; they must be firmly commanded to “come out.”
Jesus gave us the perfect example when He delivered a man from many demons; He commanded them out, but they was reluctant to leave. Then, asking them their name, they answered “Legion” because they were many,” He commanding out by name and they come out (LUKE 8:29-30).
Furthermore, having successfully evicting such demons, one must keep them out.
Jesus said, ”“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV
God uses our trials, challenges, and temptations to change the way we think, to discipline, build and test us, that we become Christ like in our nature, transformed, by the renewing of our minds, that we come to understand what is that good, and acceptable, and the perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Therefore, ”My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.“
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

This Only Do I Seek: That I May Dwell In The House Of The Lord All The Days Of My Life, To Gaze On The Beauty Of The Lord & To Seek His Temple

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 05:44:20 GMT

Don't Be A Luke Warm Christian

PSALM 27:4
“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.27.4.NKJ

David, by the “house of the Lord” and to inquire in His “temple”, may have been referring to the Tabernacle in Gibeon, the sanctuary he had built to house the Ark of the Covenant, or to the Temple that Solomon his son was to build.
It is most likely that David had the Temple in mind for he had made many plans for it (see 1 CHRONICLES 22).
But I am convinced that David was referring to God’s presence and His Kingdom.
His greatest desire was to live in God’s presence all the days of his life and the same should be true for all believers today.
But sadly, this is not true for all who claim to be Christians. Many limit their time with God to Sunday Church; and the sad truth is, they never get to know Him at all.
Jesus said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the sick may be healed by the laying of your hands; you may prophecy or even cast out demons in Jesus name; God can and does use both the righteous and evil for His plans and purposes, but if you don’t make time to build a relationship with Christ today, He shall turn you away from the Kingdom of God tomorrow-He shall refuse to know you, declaring, “depart from Me you who practice lawlessness.”
It’s all or nothing-there is no middle ground; we cannot live with one foot in God’s kingdom and the other in the world.
My beloved, there is no place for Luke warm.
Jesus said, ““I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
These verses contains a letter from Jesus Christ to the church in Laodicea, which is the last of the seven churches addressed in Revelation.
This letter is a very serious warning against spiritual lukewarmness, complacency, and materialistic pride and applies to every believer today.
My brethren, it is all about relationship with Jesus Christ; without relationship with Him (the Judge who will determine your eternal future) you cannot be saved.
What do you desire? What is most important to you, your career, your social life, or maybe your money or material things?
Jesus said, I know that you need these things, “But first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (MATHEW 6:33).
Not some, but all.
Chasing riches, status, and material things will seriously hinder your walk with God.
No one needs to chase material blessings, but we all need to seek a good relationship with our creator.
My beloved, we must get our priorities right-put God first in all things and He will take care of your provision.
That is not to say that God will reward you with every worldly thing that you crave, or riches and status in this world, for your true status is not in this world, but in Christ.
We believers are all sinners in need of a Saviour. We can do nothing good in our own strength.
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the gain of living our daily lives in the presence of God is by far greater than anything that we can imagine.
What comes from spending one’s time in God’s presence and walking in the leading of the Holy Spirit, is the fruits of the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26)-righteous living, wisdom, joy and contentment that cannot be matched by worldly things, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding which will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are God’s ways higher than your ways, and His thoughts than your thoughts (ISAIAH 55:9).
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus way works; but one has to put in to practice all that is in God’s Word-He must submit to the will of God.
Jesus is the truth-the only truth to stand upon, and the only way to our Father in heaven.
Only He can get you off of that ring road that takes you round and round the same old troubles-poverty, failing relationships, addiction, torment, rage, sadness, despair, depression, and so on.
Only Jesus can deliver you from the evil one.
As David tells us: “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing. Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Blessed Be The God And Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father Of Mercies And God Of All Comfort

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 06:02:33 GMT

God Chose You

2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-5
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
”‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭1:3-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.1.3-5.NKJ

It is easy to think that when God comforts us our troubles should leave. But surely, if that were true, people would only turn to God to be relieved of pain rather than out of love.
It’s very important to understand that as God comforts us, we receive strength, encouragement, and hope; furthermore, we are able, with the comfort God afforded us, comfort, strengthen, and encourage others too, giving them the confident hope that we have in Christ Jesus.
God did not promise us a trouble free life, but I encourage you, that in every trial you face, God went ahead of you to prepare the way, and He goes with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:1); He is your comfort in time of tribulation.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe (PROVERBS 18:10-11); He is your comfort, your rock, your fortress, your deliverer, and your strength in whom you can put your trust (PSALM 18:2-3).
No matter how great the stormy waters, like Peter, you will be able to walk over the storms in your life; but if it gets too loud, or too great, or you lose your focus and start to sink, Jesus is right there in the stormy waters with you, close enough to take your hand and lead you back to the safety and then calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-36).
My beloved, we all face troubles and tribulations.
But James tells us, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Nevertheless, we are all sinners and fail to meet the mark, yet Jeremiah the prophet told us, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, when the devil reminds you of you’re sinful pass and portrays that you’re not good enough, remind him of His future, because regardless of how you see yourself, God chose you, and because He chose to love you, you can love yourself. Furthermore, because He chooses to like you, even in your weakness, you can choose to like yourself, for nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (ROMANS 8:38-39).
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God Is Faithful. He Will Not Allow The Temptation To Be More Than You Can Stand

Wed, 11 Mar 2026 05:07:41 GMT

Resist The Devil

1 CORINTHIANS 10:13
“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10:13‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.10.13.NKJ

V

Temptation keeps prodding us, pulling and pushing us, and pressing us, to drag us into sin.
In a culture filled with moral depravity and sin inducing pressures, we all come to the point when we think we cannot resist it any longer.
Temptation is one of the devil’s tools that he uses to cause us to fall; he uses it to make sin seem harmless and impossible to resist.
It is neither, but however, when we commit acts of sin for the first time, we are overcome by guilt and shame, but if continue in the practice, both the feeling of guilt and shame will become less and less, and eventually we won’t consider our actions as sinful at all.
Our deceitfull hearts constantly attempt to justify our sin by telling us such as, “everyone is doing it”, “it’s normal in today’s world”, “it’s harmless”, and so on.
My brethren, sin is not harmless; anyone who continues in sin will not see the Kingdom of God (GALATIANS 5:19-21).
Furthermore, sin allows the devil in to take possession of certain parts of one’s life (MARK 5:15) and like squatters, make one’s body their home and influence his or her decisions, responses, behaviours, and actions; and will bring all kinds of torment and misery, sickness, depression, and even suicidal thoughts into daily life.
Many say that the devil can’t possess anyone because possession is ownership.
But when someone steals a car, he takes possession; he can drive anywhere, damage it, or even use it to damage others, but when caught, he must give it back to its rightful owner.
Paul’s words encourage us today as they did the Corinthians about temptation. He said that temptation does not single anyone out, we all endure it.
Just as others have resisted temptation, you can too.
Indeed, any temptation can be resisted because God does not allow it to be more than one can stand, and He will always shows you a righteous way out.
He is faithful in helping you resist temptation by showing you and helping you to recognise people and situations that may lead you into trouble; to run from anything that you know is wrong; to choose the righteous path; to pray the right prayer for help; and to seek Godly friends who are willing to pray with you and for you-people that rather than judge you, will help and encourage you to choose the right paths.
The devil brings temptation when you are hungry, as he did to Christ Jesus (MATHEW 4:1-10).
Like Jesus, one must answer, reject, and send the devil packing with Scripture until the end of the testing, then he will leave (MATHEW 4:11).
James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To resist the devil is to stand firm against him and his evil schemes in total submission to God, and then rebuke the devil by verbally demanding him out in Jesus name, then he will flee from you.
Running from temptation is the first step on the way to victory (2 TIMOTHY 2:22), but prevention is always better than cure.
It is wise to avoid people, places, and situations that may lead you into temptation.
But the truth is, no one can resist the devil in his own strength, we all need a supernatural helper.
Thank God for Jesus Christ; He said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, just as “Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:38-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, this is an amazing promise to you, not only will the Holy Spirit lead and guide you into the victory, but the promise of salvation is added to your children and to all who are afar off (your loved ones), as many as the Lord will call.
If you haven’t already, be baptised in the name of Jesus for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit to help, lead, and strengthen you through all the challenges of life, “Who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ see also 2 CORINTHIANS 1:21-22.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Search Me O God And Know My Heart

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 07:43:18 GMT

Submit To God & Remove All Fear

PSALM 139:23-24
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:23-24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.139.23-24.NKJ

David, even to the point of testing his thoughts, asked God to look into his heart for sin, and fear (anxieties), and then to lead him in the way of everlasting.
It’s easy for us to recognise obvious sin-sexual immortality, adultery, theft, and lies; but the truth is, as mature believers, our repentance should not be because of the sin we know about, but rather just in case we made unwilling mistakes; or that our behaviour was sinful or offensive to God and we hadn’t realised it.
The truth is, if one deliberately continues in those things, he shall not see the Kingdom of God (GALATIANS 5:19-21).
Since it is in our nature to live in sin, David’s prayer should relate to each and every one of us.
But how can we turn from sin that maybe we don’t know about unless they are revealed to us? And since it’s in our very nature to sin, how do we turn from it? It seems an impossible task because our flesh naturally takes us in that direction, for the “”The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, how can we change and walk in the right direction?
Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Not only did God send His only begotten Son to pay one’s debt of sin, He also sent His Holy Spirit to help, lead, and guide us through our daily lives; teaching us and changing us as we go.
The indwelling Spirit combined with the Word of God, over time transforms us into the likeness of Christ.
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit is our guarantee of salvation (EPHESIANS 1:14; 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22), and our sin becomes His problem; He, rather than bringing condemnation (ROMANS 8:1), brings conviction and change.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But even then, we have choice to walk to satisfy our lust or to do that of the Spirit.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
There are two key points that bring us salvation, faith and repentance.
God wants no one to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
Faith and fear, are like hot and cold-where there is heat, cold cannot exist; where there is faith, fear cannot exist. In the same way heat drives out the cold, faith drowns out our fear.
Fear/ anxiety is the source of most depression; hence one’s doctor will diagnose one with anxiety/ depression. He will say it is not something he can cure, but it can be controlled by antidepressant pills and counselling.
But surely if it’s in you and needs controlling, it is living in you and feeding of your fear.
Therefore, if one takes away the source-the food of depression, it can no longer survive within you; it will leave.
Just as the Holy Spirit lives within us joined to our spirit, so unclean spirits and demons can enter our bodies through sin to influence our behaviours, decisions, responses, and actions.
While they cannot touch our spirit, sin lets them in through our flesh because we have come into agreement with the devil.
The battle begins within our soul, the mind, will, and emotions (GALATIANS 5:27).
Sin lets the devil in to steal our joy and peace, and to take away the gift of life that God gave us all.
He came to destroy our relationships, careers, and quality of life. But Jesus came to redeem us, and give us life and that we may have it more abundantly and forever (JOHN 10:10).
James tells us, ”Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To submit to God is to turn from the sin that let him in; to resist the devil is to stand against his temptations, rebuke and call him and his army of unclean spirits and demons out by verbally demanding them to leave, and they shall flee from you.
Fear is of the demonic, but we don’t have to accept or live in it.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Yet, many people are naturally fearful or live in confusion for different reasons.
But God’s Word gives us two ways in which we can cast out fear through love and faith.
Faith drives out fear, like heat drives out cold.
But God’s love drives out all fear. For “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:17-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
David asked God, “Try me, and know my anxieties.”
When we believe on Christ, and submit to His plans and purposes, we shall experience His love, and our faith will drive out all fear, and with it shall go all anxiety, depression, guilt, shame, and confusion, and our minds shall become renewed.
It is then that we shall come to understand what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Therefore my beloved, ”Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life. No One Comes To The Father Except Through Me

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 06:13:06 GMT

Only Jesus!

JOHN 14:5-6
“Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
”‭‭John‬ ‭14:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jhn.14.5-6.nkj

This is one of the most important passages in Scripture. In answer to Thomas, Jesus told us, He is the only way to God the Father.
Their are many different religions and religious beliefs, many gods, but only one way to our true living God and life everlasting, and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ.
Their is no other person or prophet or angel, or any living thing of this world or in the heavens that can take you to our Father in heaven.
No amount of money, service, or good deeds can purchase one’s place with God. Jesus said, ““Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But in reality, whilst the gate is narrow, it is wide enough for everyone to go through it.
Jesus said, “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the way because He is both God and man. “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6-7).
He made a way for us by taking our place on a cross, paying in full, our debt of sin (see ROMANS 5:6-21).
Jesus way is based on love, “He said, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, if we could only obey these two great commandments, this world would soon become a better place to live.
As the truth, Jesus is the reality of all God’s promises. He is God and cannot lie, and therefore, never breaks His promises.
As the life, He is the One who defeated death and was risen (MATHEW 28:6); furthermore, He joins His life to ours (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), both now and for all eternally.
He truly is the only way to the Father in heaven and the gift of eternal life.
Some see salvation as a difficult process, but the truth is Jesus having paid our debt of sin has made it very simple.
No qualifications are needed, nor abilities, nor money, nor status, nor works.
Neither skin colour nor place of birth, nor sin past, present, or future, can stand between you and God if you believe on Him, because Jesus bridged the gap between man and God.
Furthermore, He is the bridge that carries us over troubled waters. Indeed, one can literally walk on the stormy waters of life when focused on Jesus Christ; and even when overwhelmed by the noise of the storm, Jesus is always there to lead us to safety and calms the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
No situation is too big, too great, or indeed too small for Jesus, He is the answer to every situation for His grace is sufficient.
My beloved, it all sounds too good to be true!
But salvation is a gift from God; all we need do to receive is believe and say thank You.
But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Today, give your life to Jesus, for tomorrow may well be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

As The Deer Pants For Streams Of Water, My Soul Pants For You, My God

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 07:52:23 GMT

Make Jesus Your All

PSALM 42:1-2
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.42.1-2.NKJ

Feeling separated from God, this psalmist would not rest until he restored his relationship with Him, because he knew that his life, in deed his eternal future depended on it.
Just like a deer pants for the water brooks, so his soul thirst for God.
Most believers experience the feeling of being separated from God; some because they made a mistake or fell into some kind of sin, others don’t even understand why or what they had done.
When one is saved, he receives the gift of the Holy Spirit and his or her eternal future is sealed (EPHESIANS 1:14).
The Spirit joins with his or her spirit and he or she becomes one spirit in Christ(1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
From within, the Holy Spirit leads us in all truth, (JOHN 16:13).
As we walk in agreement in the Spirit, He manifests Himself through our soul to do good works by our flesh, and out from the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
Furthermore, Jesus told us, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Bible describes our soul (nephesh in Hebrew and psuche in Greek) as the whole person, embodying life, emotions, desires, and personality. It is our mind, will, and emotions; what you imagine, your free will to choose what you want and what you feel. It is the neutral ground between the flesh and spirit, and the place where all our decisions and free will are exercised.

It is the place of joy, peace, and contentment, or frustration, fear, and torment.

My beloved, when one falls into sin, whether aware of it or not, the Holy Spirit retreats from the flesh and remains quietly connected within one’s spirit, convicting repentance.

This is feel very uncomfortable, like we are condemned, but there is no condemnation for those in Christ; Those who are led by the Spirit (ROMANS 12:1-2).
But sin opens doors to the demonic to enter the flesh and he or she can become demonised.
It feels like Jesus has left us and that we are alone in the wilderness. Our soul shall feel cast down or crushed as our spiritual enemies attack us with whispers of lies and torment, kicking us while we are down.
But the truth is, Jesus never leaves us, and it’s all part of the process of building and changing us, that in our walk with God, over time we become more Christ-like in our attitudes and nature; “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Spirit convicts repentance from within, and as James told us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, He is the only way to the Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
Their is no other way, not money, nor status, nor works, or any man, women, minister or pastor or religious organisation, or in deed, any other god that can save you, only Jesus can do that.
Even so, good works can only come from the Spirit within, for works of the flesh shall bring death

(GALATIONS 5:19-21).

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
‭‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Your life today, tomorrow, and for all eternity is dependent on your relationship with Christ the coming judge who is to return to decide the eternal future of all mankind.
Surely, it makes sense to know Him, and know Him well.
We all have that friend who turns up only when he wants something; when he’s in some kind of situation or need, but for the rest of time is far away.
Don’t be like him when it comes to Jesus.
Involve Him in every aspect of your life; praise Him daily because He is deserving, not because you have some special need, but out of love for the Most High.
Relationship with God cannot be developed by attending church once a week.
Relationship only grows through regular quality time together.
Make time for Jesus; meet Him in secret, listening as much as speaking in prayer; and study His Word every single day, take it in, chew it over, and digest it, and speak it out over your life.
As Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ NKJV
My beloved, make this life changing psalm your prayer, for Jesus is our all in all.
“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?” When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me. The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life. I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Even Now Declares The Lord, Return To Me With All Your Heart

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 06:35:47 GMT

There Has Never Been Such a Time As This

JEOL 2:12-13
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.
”‭‭Joel‬ ‭2:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jol.2.12-13.NKJ

God told the people and He is telling us today to turn to Him while there is still time.
Destruction as is today, was soon to come upon the earth and time was running out.
Never before in all history have we seen manufactured pestilence; never before in all history have we shut down trade because of fear of flu.
Never before in all history have we seen so many ridiculous controls, mandates and restrictions placed on our every day lives.
Anxiety/ depression, mental illness, and suicides is at an all time high and is rising, whilst our health services are collapsing.
Businesses are closing, unemployment is rising, and inflation is rapidly growing.
Our world financial systems cannot continue like this; printing money does not work. It’s just a matter of time before our financial systems completely collapse.
Nuclear war is looming over the world and we don’t know what is coming next or when our life will end; the truth is, the nations need to return to God in repentance and become obedient to His Word while we still can.
We believers need to come together in repentance and total submission to our Lord and Saviour, not with lip service, but with full heart felt repentance.
Tearing one’s garments was a customary way of expressing grief and remorse (JOSHUA 7:6), but like all outward actions it can be done without true heartfelt sorrow or repentance.
God wants true heart felt repentance, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning, turning from the sin of this world toward Him.
Repentance is more than saying sorry; it is to change direction from the sinful ways toward God.
If one truly repents, he will put every effort to turn from his sinful actions. That’s not always easy, but it is encouraging to know that when we do our best, God does the rest.
If you are struggling with sin, maybe out of fear or desperation, or addiction, ask God for help, for He is faithful and gracious to help you overcome all sin, even that which is fuelled by addiction.
Jesus took the sin of the world upon Himself, making it His problem.
He died to pay the debt of sin, to justify new life in Christ in His righteousness.
Therefore, even when one slips back, there is no condemnation (ROMANS 8:1), but rather the Holy Spirit convicts one to change in God’s perfect timing.
However, that doesn’t justify sin, but rather frees us from the power of sin (ROMANS 6:1-11), and with heart felt effort, brings change even to the way we think over time (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Therefore today, whatever your situation, or regardless of skin colour, place of birth, sexual orientation or regardless of any and all the sin that holds you, rend your heart not your garments, and do not allow anyone or anything hinder you from turning to God.
Your eternal future is totally in the hands of Jesus Christ.
He is faithful to forgive and start a good work in you; ”being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This my beloved, is more than Good News, it is awesome, amazingly wonderful, Good News, for God has made a way for all people, where there was no way, including you.
Furthermore, He is doing a new thing; for this is Jesus time; the new wine is being poured into specially prepared wine skins, His elite, who He prepared for such a time as this, and He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).
With new wine, comes new powers and new freedoms for the Kingdom of God is here.
Jesus said, ”“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Justice is coming upon the earth and God is bringing about change to rebuild His church, His way, for such a time as this.
The old is being dismantled and the new is being built, and even the gates of hell shall not stand in the way (MATHEW 16:18).
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Here I Am! I Stand At The Door And Knock. If Anyone Hears My Voice And Opens The Door, I Will Come In And Eat With That Person, And They With Me

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 07:08:15 GMT

The New Is Here!

REVELATION 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
”‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.3.20.NKJ

Many today, like the Laodicean church have become complacent and rich; they feel self-satisfied and don’t have Christ presence among them.
The pleasures of this world, money, status, and material blessings give a false sense of security and produce pride, shutting Christ out of their lives.
But Jesus knocks at the door of our hearts because He wants to save us, He wants fellowship with us that builds our relationship with Him.
He is patient and persistent in trying to get through to us because He loves us; He wants no one to perish but for all to come to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
But however, He does not false Himself upon anyone; He waits for invitation, and never, never uses false entry like the unclean spirits and demons, whose purpose is to steal, and to kill and to destroy (JOHN 10:10).
He waits patiently for an opening and offers us His Holy Spirit by knocking on the door of our hearts.
He came to give us life, and that we may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
He gives us choice whether or not to open the door and accept Him into our lives, but our choice will affect our entire eternal future.
We need to understand that the things of this world are temporary and fragile-the joy and security of worldly things are fake and will soon pass away.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and He is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
The joy and peace found money and fame is shallow and misleading, but the joy and peace in Christ is eternal; He is our only true hope and security; He is the only way to eternal life.
We can put our trust in Christ Jesus because He does not lie or make false promises, and nothing can separate us from His perfect love (ROMANS 8:38-39).
Much of today’s church has become luke warm.
Much of the worship teams are performing to the congregation rather than worshiping God.
So often the pastor, who seems to take upon his shoulders every task, preaching and teaching, controlling and managing to best of his own abilities, and is simply trying to make the business work.
His frustrations and human efforts grieve the Spirit and He stands aside.
In many cases they are attempting to steal the glory by putting themselves on a pedestal with fancy words and their own doctrines.
But church is far more than man pleasing projects, a talented band and elaborate equipment, or a beautiful voice.
True worship and sound teaching is Spirit led and from our hearts, actions, and the desire to please God, with songs of praise through the whole body.
The truth is, mans old church system doesn’t work and is being dismantled, for Christ is now building His church as He originally planned.
It is a process of the dismantling the old and building the new.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sadly, many pastors and ministers are refusing to let go of the old. Though it was put together by the likes of the Pharisees, empowered by animal sacrifice and religious law, for they say the old is better (LUKE 5:39).
But the fruits they are producing are of the flesh, and are not good (GALATIANS 5:19-21).
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus time is here, and the new wine that represents the blood of Jesus Christ is being poured. He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).
The new is empowered not by the sacrifice of animals or religious activities, but by the blood of Jesus Christ, for there is unlimited power in His blood.
He said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV
It is time to hand the reins to Jesus, to let go of the old, and embrace the new.
We cannot operate any longer with one foot in Gods kingdom and the other in the world.
, “”And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:14-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In this ever growing darkness that hovers this world, time is running short and we really must get into unity with God.
It is time for each member to know his or her calling and take his or her place within the body and submit to the head, Jesus Christ.
All fall into at least one of the five fold categories of Christ body; apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangerlist, and each has been gifted accordingly and must actively do their share (EPHESIANS 4:16).
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it’s time to yield and allow the Spirit to move, not that you can stop Him.
He will not allow man’s rules brought about by religious leaders and legal teams to stand in the way of what Christ is doing.
Jesus Christ is the ultimate authority and power building His church, and nothing can stop it.
He said, “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The bubble has burst, and the Spirit is moving over us.
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.

May Your Whole Spirit, Soul, & Body Be Preserved

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1th.5.23.NKJ
We humans are made up of three parts, spirit, soul, and body.

Each part has needs, wants, cravings, and desires, like we are three persons in one.
That is to say, by the three parts, soul, spirit, and body, we become a human being.
To live godly lives, we must make our spirit king, subject to the King of kings.
We must make our soul, servant to the king, and our flesh, slave-a vehicle to operate from in this physical world.
But the flesh chooses otherwise and is determined to take dominion to satisfy it’s own lust before anything else. It is that sinful nature that we must put to death.
We are spirit beings, for in Gods image He made us (GENESIS 1:27).
The word Father is a title, as is the word Son, but Spirit is what God is, “the Holy Spirit”. He always was and always will be (ISAIAH 43:12; HEBREWS 13:8), including Jesus Christ who is fully God and fully human (PHILIPIANS 2:6; ISAIAH 43:13-21; JOHN 1:1-18).
God created us spirit beings in His image-He knew us before we was flesh; before we were in our mother’s womb (JEREMIAH 1:5).

Our soul, which is our mind, will, and emotions, is the realm of decision.

The Bible describes the soul (nephesh in Hebrew, psuche in Greek) as the whole person, embodying life, emotions, and desires, rather than just an immaterial ghost. Key verses highlight its creation by God (Genesis 2:7), its need for spiritual restoration (Psalm 23:3), and its eternal nature (Matthew 10:28).
The soul is one’s mind, will, emotions, and brings about personality.
Your mind, what you imagine. Your will, what you want. Your emotions, what you feel.
The soul is the neutral ground between the body and the spirit. It is the place where free will is exercised and all our decisions are made, whether from the flesh or spirit.
The soul is eternal, and everyone has a soul, either redeemed or unredeemed.
The battle is over our souls.
When our physical life ends, our spirit returns to God, our flesh returns to dust, but our soul will continue forever, either in Gods presence or not.
Jesus said, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬If a man loses his soul, we must ask ourselves, who to?
If one doesn’t belong to God, he belongs to the devil."
Therefore, "Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it. “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “All is vanity.”"
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬

In other words, remember your creator before It is too late.
‬Our body is the physical vessel that we operate from in this physical world, from the dust of the earth we were made, and shall also return (GENESIS 3:19).
When one becomes saved, God’s Spirit joins with his or her spirit and he or she becomes one spirit with Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17)."

One's spirit is made perfect, he becomes a new creation (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17), and he or she is saved.

But his or her flesh continues with his or her sinful nature and a battle begins between the flesh and the spirit (GALATIONS 5:17).
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her?

For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him."
”‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬When one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit (see JOHN 14:15-18), he or she is saved. For “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJ
As is written, “Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬The Spirit via the soul, when in obedience to Christ, though He abides with one's spirit, manifest Himself to do good works through the flesh and then the signs and wonders follow (JOHN 4:48; ACT 2:43), and out of the belly/ heart, shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
Therefore, It is not I, but Christ in me that does it all (GALATIONS 2:20).

For God gives us the desire to do what pleases Him, and empowers us to do it (PHILIPHINES 2:13).
Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
”‭James‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬We all have choice, to walk to satisfy the flesh, or walk in the Spirit. (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
When one indulges in sexual intimacy with another, the two become one flesh, and soul ties are joined, both godly and ungodly; hence, you become one flesh whether married (GENESIS 2:24; MATHEW 19:5; MARK 10:8;EPHESIANS 5:31), or not (1 CORINTHIANS 6:16).
Furthermore, since we are the bride of Christ (REVELATION 19:7-9), we commit adultery when we worship other gods, objects, and people, which opens doors to demons and ungodly soul ties. It’s important to know that God is a jealous God (EXODUS 34:14).
Jesus said, ““You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭27‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬When we commit adultery we become one flesh with that person through the flesh and soul ties are created.
The harlot is not just someone across the street, she is also false religious organisations and idolatry, for we are the bride of Christ.
Furthermore, we create strings of soul ties from one person to another, through sexual partners as we all become one flesh.
The soul ties connect person to person and are a direct passage for the demonic to pass from one person to another, for sin aligned us with the demonic and brings them all into agreement with the devil and we have all become one with those we indulge with and their sexual partners, joined together by soul ties.
To close the doors to the demonic, one must repent of all sin, and cut off all ancestral sin (generational curses), all ungodly soul ties, and every false belief (strong holds of the mind).

Sadly we humans are only observable creatures that continue in self-destruct behaviours in spite of the negative consequences.

in simple terms, it is like we have two brains, the conscious mind, and the unconscious.

The unconscious is located in the very centre of our brain and is called the limbic system or survival brain.

the limbic system that operates the automatic responses in life and is responsible for learning ways to help us cope and survive. It is connected directly to one's heart; hence, "believe with your heart".

If allowed, it controls our emotions as well as our physical and behavioural responses to life.

One's survival brain is designed to increase his or her chance of survival through adaption. It also produces fear and painful feelings to help and teach us to avoid harmful things.

It is programmed, not by words, but rather experience, and its memories are emotional, not cognitive.

Furthermore, it acts independently from the conscious mind and can override one's will, emotions, and responses, and actually shut down the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind believes what it experiences, such as sexual experiences; one learns to be homosexual if the experience felt good, and then it can make one believe that they are a male in a female body and such lies as these. It can see alcohol and drugs as a good experiences or medication and records them as helpful: hence addiction is born.

The devil understands these things very well and is able to manipulate if allowed, and inflict our belief systems with lies and false doctrines from the pits of hell.

Through the limbic system, the unconscious mind rightly or wrongly, decides what is true and what is not through experience and cannot be changed by the conscious mind or human input regardless of the facts. Hence, we believe the lies and are held in bondage.

The false doctrines and lies are strongholds of the mind, and to remove them, we need God's help, to be torn down and replaced with truth.

Believing false doctrines and lies often confirmed by the limbic system, is coming into agreement with the devil and opens doors of bondage and possession.
If every door is not shut and secured, after deliverance, these demons shall return and enter with demons seven times more powerful than themselves and their victim will be in a worse state than before (MATHEW 12:45).
When one falls into sin, the Holy Spirit retreats from his or her flesh, but remains connected to his or her spirit and starts a work of conviction to repentance and change.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬Rather than condemn, He convicts repentance and change from within. Though it can certainly feel like the Spirit has condemned and left us, but true to His word, Jesus promised not to leave us orphans

(JOHN 14:18).
However, sin makes way for the demonic to enter through the flesh, for the Spirit dwells with one's spirit, not the flesh.
Like squatters, they make one’s body there home-they take possession, and are able to influence one’s beliefs, wants, likes, behaviours, and desires.
Many say, the devil cannot possess anyone, for possession is ownership. But when someone steals a car, he has possession and can drive it anywhere, breaking laws and causing damage, but when caught, the vehicle must be returned to its rightful owner-he never owned it, but he took possession of it.
Furthermore, demons are able to impersonate the Holy Spirit and convince him or her that their thoughts are from God. Hence false prophets appear, along with false teachers and doctrines, all of which if one believes, are in agreement with the devil.
Hosea said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
”‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬Paul himself struggled with the demonic, he said, “I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it. And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t. I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬
‬Since Paul claimed, he wasn’t doing the sin, but the sin living within him was doing it, therefore, he was referring demons as sin.
Demons not only enter one’s body through one’s own sin, but also the sin of his or her ancestors that bring generational curses.
God spoke through Moses, saying, ““I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery. “You must not have any other god but me. “You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins (doors to demons) of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected—even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. But I lavish unfailing love for a thousand generations on those who love me and obey my commands.
”‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭2‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬
‬(See also EXODUS 34:7).
The demonic entities are passed on to our children, not only from our sin, but the sin of our ancestors, and bring generational curses and false doctrines through the blood lines.
In order to be free from the demonic we must break such curses, and cut all the ungodly soul ties, and the ancestral lines, going back through the generations.
As James told us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
”‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬To submit to God, is to repent, and sin no more, or at least be willing.
Without repentance, those devils are going nowhere.
Resist them, and sin no more, then they shall flee.
Even then, like squatters, because they entered legally through sin, they must be taken before the Judge, Jesus Christ, and be legally evicted.
Jesus Himself, cast out demons; they didn’t simply leave, putting up arguments, they tried to sit firm, but like a dog, they respond to firm commands with fear and the pain of fire and blood from God's word, and eventually leave (MARK 1:23-26; MARK 5; LUKE 11:14-26).
We believers must bring them before Christ , in the courts of heaven, tick the boxes, and then command them to come out.
Paul went on to say, “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬
The good news is, we believers have authority over the demonic, to heal the sick, raise the dead, cure leprosy, and cast out demons (MATHEW 10:8).
But it is not “I, but Christ in me that does it.
”The devil has many evil schemes up his sleeve to mislead and tempt us believers; He came only to steal, kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10).
He uses hurts, lies, and trauma to bring us into offence with little whispers to open doors to the demonic.
He uses our words which he often manipulates, to bring curses, along with all kinds of witchcraft.
Whether we speak over ourselves or others, our words are either blessings or curses, and life and death are in the power of the tongue (PROVERBS 18:21)."
"With it (our tongues) we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
”‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬Therefore, my beloved, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen."
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

And The Scriptures Give Us Hope And Encouragement As We Wait Patiently For God's Promises To Be Fulfilled

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 06:00:19 GMT

Jesus Christ Our Living Hope

ROMANS 15:4
“For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.15.4.NKJ

V

Our knowledge of the Scriptures has a deep affect on our attitude toward our present and future life.
The more we know and understand about who God is, what He stands for, and what He has done in the past, the greater confidence we have about what He will do in the future and His coming plans.
But the truth is, only through relationship can one truly come to know anyone; relationship comes from regular conversation and quality time together.
Only through diligently studying our bible and spending time in prayer, not just speaking, but listening to God’s response, can we come to trust Him and gain true hope for our future and receive the peace of mind that comes from Christ; the peace that surpasses all understanding that shall guard our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
In these days of darkness, where fear has been dominating our minds; fear of financial collapse, world war, poverty and such, fear is having its effect and all hope is being lost.
We all know this world cannot continue as it is; our medical systems are collapsing, services are being cut, businesses are closing, unemployment is rising, and our financial systems are crashing, and the future looks very daunting.
But the truth is, there is but one hope, and His name is Jesus. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Put your trust in Jesus knowing that whatever comes in today’s world or the future, God is in control and the victory is already ours through Christ Jesus who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
My brethren, regardless of your situation, however great the storm, like Peter, you can walk upon those stormy waters while focused on Christ; and even if the noise of the storm overwhelms you, Jesus is always there within arms reach to take your hand and lead you to safely and then calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
No giant is too big for those in Christ; you just need five smooth stones, the five fold ministry of Christ and the faith to sling God’s Word at your Goliath, and you shall watch the giant fall; furthermore, you shall remove its head (the devil) and shut his mouth forever (1 SAMUEL 17:50-53) and that giant shall not speak another negative word over you again.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ NKJV
Truly I tell you, “”Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the truth is, Jesus Christ is our living hope.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Is More Pleased When We Do What Is Right And Just, Then We Offer Him Sacrifices

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 05:51:41 GMT

Be Right In Your Heart

PROVERBS 21:2
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭21:2‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.21.2.NKJ

It is all to easy to mistakenly think that we are doing right while the motives of our heart are very much wrong.
We believers need to understand “”The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is so easy to justify a wrong action with untruths: I can justify the purchase of that car which is way above my budget because: “I deserve it” or “its the only one that will last” or “it’s the only one that is suitable.” I can justify a little white lie because it “causes no harm”, or “it’s to keep the peace”.
“I can justify living with my partner outside of marriage because everyone is doing it, or because we need make sure we are right for each other.”
That is simply trying to justify sin, and is not acceptable in God’s eyes however many people are doing it.
A lie is a lie however big or small, and its father is the devil; when one lies he joins with the world and the devil.
Jesus said, ”If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭42‬-‭47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
So often we make choices that feel good in our flesh but we quickly regret. Furthermore, we make the same mistakes over and over because we refuse to listen and do not hear God.
If we are going to make right choices, we cannot continue to live a lie. ”A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭11‬ ‭NLT‬‬
We must learn to discern the motives of our heart.
We must ask ourselves would God really be pleased with my real reason for doing this? Are my motives right for doing this good deed?
The heart is part of the flesh which is naturally selfish. “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Surely, we who are in Christ must crucify our flesh with its passions and desires (GALATIANS 5:24).
Only through the leading of the Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18) and God’s Word can we truly discern our motives and walk in God’s righteousness, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Paul tells us: “do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed (ROMANS 12:2). This transformation requires an action; it does not simply happen because we were baptised in water; it requires heart felt commitment to God that can only come through relationship with Jesus, study, understanding, and revelation of the Word, and full cooperation with the Holy Spirit.
It takes effort to turn away from sin toward God, and that is the least one can do (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Jesus did not die that we can continue in sin, but rather, that we can walk in Christ righteousness and be free from the power of sin and death.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, the truth is, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour; “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭1:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Only through faith and submission can can we truly become right with God; separating from the things of this world that are not good and coming to understand and operate in what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
My beloved, we can only walk right with God by the leading of the Holy Spirit. ”For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
When we walk in the flesh, we will fulfil the lust of the flesh and they are not good.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

What Joy For Those Whose disobedience Is Forgiven, Those Whose Sins Are Put Out Of Sight

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:49:14 GMT

Give Your Life To Jesus And Be Saved

ROMANS 4:7-8

“”Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; Blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.4.7-8.NKJV

We are all sinners in need of God’s forgiveness; If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us (1 JOHN 1:10).

The Good News is, God has made away for all who believe in Him; He paid our penalty of sin which is death by taking our place on a cross and died for the redemption of our sins (ROMANS 3:21-31).

Furthermore, God raised Him (Christ Jesus) from the dead, defeating sin and death for all time (ROMANS 6:8-10).

It’s like each of us has a book, a record of sin, and God removes every page that is marked by sin from its cover which has our name on it, and then replaces those pages with a copy of Christ record, which are totally pure, without blemish and totally free from any mark of sin; fully justifying His people because Christ Jesus paid our debt; therefore, both past, present, and future sins are covered by the blood of Christ Jesus, giving His people the confident hope of eternal life.

“Blessed is the man who to whom the Lord shall not impute sin”-attribute sin to Him simply because he believes in Christ Jesus.

This is not just the Good News, it is amazingly wonderful Good News, because regardless of past or even future sin, regardless of skin colour or race, or any situation or circumstance, God has made a way for you to receive the wonderful gift of life. Furthermore, the life that Christ gives is more abundant (JOHN 10:10) and starts in the very moment you commit your life to God.

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All you need do is believe on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

We live in the kingdom of this world, like sheep in a field infested with wolves ready to devour, but God's kingdom is pure and clean and free from wolves, for they cannot enter.

But you can, Jesus said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”

‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We see today how our world is falling into utter chaos, with corruption at the highest level of world and church leadership.

We see lies and deceit pouring from the media, we see growing lawlessness, poverty, and our freedoms are systematically being stripped from us; our world is being ruled by dictatorship and even our weather systems are being manipulated and are becoming more and more extreme.

All these things drive fear through the nation’s and as result we see growing mental health issues, anxiety/ depression, and even suicidal tendencies that are at a all time high. Furthermore, world war looms over us; surely it is time to seek the coming Judge Jesus Christ.

He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Make time for Jesus; He is your only hope; He came that you might have life, and have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).

He came not to condemn the world, but that it might be saved (JOHN 3:17).

Sadly, not everyone shall believe the report (ISAIAH 53:1), and many shall perish.

But you don’t need to perish, for He came to make a way for you; all you need do is believe.

Salvation is not a difficult process and is available to all.

“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

“”See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
“‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/deu.30.17.NKJ

Moses tells it as it is: We have a choice, life or death. Our response to God should not be delayed.
Making the assumption there will be a later day to respond to God is dangerous thinking.
Either we love God and walk in His ways, or we turn from Him to worship other gods-idols: money, lifestyle, status, the things of this world.
God takes no pleasure in the misery of sinners, but urges us to choose life, not only for our good, but for the good of future unborn generations.
Moses challenged Israel to choose life, to love and obey God, and continue to experience His blessings.
But the truth is, God does not force His will on anyone, He gave us free will to choose whether to follow Him or reject Him. The decision is however a life-or-death matter-blessings or cursing.
God wants us to realise the impact of our decision; He wants us to choose life.
We believers must affirm and reinforce this commitment daily in every aspect of our lives, living in obedience to God.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many believe that there are many ways to salvation, but the truth is, the only way to our Father in heaven is through Jesus Christ.
Give your life to Him today with a simple prayer, for tomorrow might well be too late.
It’s not a difficult process, salvation cannot be purchased by money, status, or good works.
It is too late for that, for we have all sinned.
Whilst it is true that we are saved by grace, grace does not override justice, if it did, Jesus would have had no reason to die a criminal’s death on a cross.
But by faith alone, His spilled blood that paid it all is applied to one’s life and he or she is “born again” into God family and he or she is saved.
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Whoever Can Be Trusted With Very Little Can Also Be Trusted With Much, And Whoever Is Dishonest With Very Little Will Also Be Dishonest With Much

Keep Your Integrity

LUKE 16:10-11
“He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/luk.16.10-11.NKJ

God calls us to be honest in the finest of detail, yet is so easily ignored.
Our integrity is put on the line particularly in what we have to say and money matters, but in other matters too.
How can one be trusted with the riches of heaven which are far more valuable than earthly wealth, if he or she cannot be trusted not to steal the pen that was put out for public use in the bank, or use the company phone or data for personal use without permission, or help his or herself to a sweet in a packed bag of sweets that someone left on the side, or simply to return your shopping trolley to the right place when you have been shopping.
Why would God trust you with large amounts of money when you can’t manage a monthly budget without continually over spending on the unnecessary?
Helping oneself to that pen in the bank, or to a sweet from that packed bag of sweets that are not yours amounts to stealing.
Wasting money however little amounts to foolishness.
God wants us to have enjoyment and a blessed life style, but overindulgence makes us fat not just in the flesh, but with pride.
Furthermore, if you cannot zip your mouth and fall into gossip, how can you ever see yourself as a friend to anyone?
“A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, be wise and honest in the finest detail and don’t allow riches to puff you up, but rather, use Gods blessings to glorify our Father in heaven.
If we can’t be trusted in the seemingly tiny unimportant things, surely we cannot be trusted in things of great value.
If we cannot stand against the temptation of small, seemingly unimportant things, how can we stand against the temptation of those things that have great power or value?
My beloved, God does not give us more than we can handle, particularly in money, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.“
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers are called to maintain our integrity in all matters however big or small.
My brethren, we live in a world of pure evil; temptation surrounds us and many have slipped into the darkness.
The truth is, this world cannot continue on this path of destruction for much longer, and as promised, Jesus Christ is soon to return in all His glory to bring upon this earth His judgment.
My beloved, now would be a good time to “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Everyone Should Be Quick To Listen, Slow To Speak And Slow To Anger

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 07:10:18 GMT

Therefore Be Imitators Of God

JAMES 1:19-20
“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:19-20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.19-20.NKJ

By talking too much and not listening, we are disrespectfully communicating to others that their ideas are less important than ours, and that we know better than them.
James encourages us to reverse this process; to listen carefully, and process the information correctly before responding, making sure that our response is not as a result of self, anger or pride, or that we simply like the sound of our own voice.
When we respond to a situation out of anger or indeed pride, we by-pass the process of looking at the evidence-the facts.
All to often we judge a situation, a person, or a comment by our emotions rather than the truth. We actually say, “I know I’m right because my emotions are right. But emotions rise to both truth and lies and are not designed to bring discernment.
Sadly, we are quick to believe our emotions even when the facts paint a completely different picture.
We find ourselves trying to prove our point rather than seeking the truth, simply because our pride is being pricked and it is easier to believe the lie.
The devil operates much like the fake news media in today’s world; their stories and whispers are aimed at our emotions. They bring propaganda not truth; their goal is to stir up our emotions that we believe the lie and bring the result they hope for; rage, anger, pain, sorrow, disappointment, lust, and so on.
When we respond from our emotions, we open a door to the demonic.
His whispers of hot air fill one’s mind with lies and like a balloon will eventually burst.
Therefore, take every thought captive, ”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When we speak out of turn, we can apologise, but cannot unsay our words, which can be so damaging.
Furthermore, anger erupts when our ego is bruised-“I am not being listened too, my opinions are not respected or important.”
We should become angry when injustice or sin occurs because others are being hurt. But we should not become angry because we have failed to win an argument or someone disagrees with our opinion, or we feel offended or neglected.
Selfish anger has no place in Christian life; selfish anger helps no one and temporarily blocks the truth.
I say “temporarily”, because the truth always finds its way no matter how much the darkness tries to hide it (JOHN 1:5).
But listening is just the beginning when it comes to God’s Word.
What good is their in hearing God’s Word and learning His ways and wisdom if you don’t put it all into practice? Will it profit you anything?
“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:21-25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
What we say has impact whether we are speaking over ourselves or others. Negative words and name calling is witchcraft and brings curses.
Calling yourself or others “useless” like every negative word gives way to the devil into one’s life and brings those words to life.
While the devil can use negativity to curse people, God’s Word is more powerful than any force of this world, and speaking it out breaks curses and moves the mountains in our lives, including every chain of the devil.
Therefore, don’t just read His Word and take it in; ask God for understanding and revelation, and then speak it over yourself and others, and all the situations of life, and watch the darkness flee.
God’s Word makes every impossible situation possible (MATHEW 19:26; LUKE 1:37).
God spoke out His whole creation; “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, you are children of God, and what you say is powerful.
Therefore, “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We cannot continue to walk with one foot in the light and the other in darkness.
“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Let The Peace Of Christ Rule In Your Hearts, Since As Members Of One Body, You Were Called To Peace

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 05:52:48 GMT

You Are One Spirit In Christ

COLOSSIANS 3:14-15
“But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:14-15‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/col.3.14-15.NKJ

We believers are called to live in peace. That is not to say, suddenly all our differences are eliminated, but it does require us to work together out of love and respect for one another, with a goal of settling our differences and finding unity within the body of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11-16).
Such love is not a simple feeling, nor is it lust, rather it is a choice-to “put on love,”- to consider and meet the needs of others who are unable to meet their own needs (see 1 CORINTHIANS 13).
All the virtues Paul encourages us to develop are bound together by love.
Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the prophets (MATHEW 22:37:40).”
We believers must allow Christ to rule our hearts; when we commit to God, we come under new management. Rather than allowing our flesh to rule our lives, we must hand over all authority to God and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
It is then that a battle starts from within between the Spirit and our flesh.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We humans are made up of three parts, spirit, soul, and flesh (1 THESSALONIANS 5:23) and each must know and take its place.
When we are saved, the Holy Spirit joins with our spirit and declares that we are children of God (ROMANS 8:16).
From this time, we become one spirit in Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our spirit should be made king, joined to the king of kings that we are one in Christ; to walk in all truth by the leading of the Holy Spirit, and therefore, “ it’s no longer I, but Christ in me” (GALATIANS 2:20),
The soul, our mind, will, and emotions, the very place where we make our decisions, must become servant to the king, and the flesh, must be slave to the king.
The flesh is simply a vehicle in which we operate in this physical world and indeed, when one commits his life to Christ, though He doesn’t take away one’s free will, becomes a vessel of the Holy Spirit to operate through us to do good works and must remain pure.
“Therefore glorify God in body and Spirit, ”All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV
Paul explains that we must decide conflicting decisions by using the rule of peace.
Whether the battle is within our own body, or with other church members, or anyone else, we must ask ourselves, which choice will promote peace in our souls and within the church, the body of Christ?
God’s peace can only develop through love and faith, and by trusting God and remaining obedient in every situation.
Faith is the opposite of fear, like hot is the opposite of cold, and therefore, fear, if allowed, steals our peace.
Fear is a major weapon of the devil; we can see how he has brought about the man made epidemic to bring fear over the whole world.
The results of which have been devastating to world’s peace.
We have broken businesses, increasing anxiety/ depression, and suicidal thoughts, failing financial systems and health systems, much of the world population has taken vaccines that are now proven to detrimental to our health.
We see divisions, anger, distress, and all kinds of damaging rules and controls on businesses and all kinds of restrictions on daily life that add fuel to the fire.
However with a mustard seed of faith, this mountain could have been tossed to the side and much of the pain of these things could have been avoided (MATHEW 17:20).
The truth is, love and faith combined is like a weapon of mass destruction against the devil’s plans.
For “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:17-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we have no reason to fear the enemy, not his pestilence, nor the fret of wars, or anything whatsoever, for God is forever in control.
He promises to protect His people even as we walk through the shadow of death (PSALM 23:4), and we can stand firm in those words.
“Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭3‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
No matter what challenges we believers are to face in today’s dark world, however impossible our situation may seem, we can stand upon the promises of God and His peace that surpasses all understanding will guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:7).
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Whoever Dwells In The Shelter Of The Most High Will Rest In The Shadow Of The Almighty

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:18:10 GMT

He Is My Refuge & My Fortress, My God, In Whom I Trust

PSALM 91:1-6
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.91.1-6.NKJ

God is a place of refuge and a fortress for all who dwell in the secret place of the Most High; those who trust God and live close to Him.
The writers faith would carry him through all the dangers and fears of life.
We believers should make this our picture of trust-trading all our fears for faith in our Lord and Saviour.
Faith and fear are like hot and cold, where their is heat, their is no cold; where their is faith, their is no fear.
“Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Only by trusting God can you wash your fears away, sleep at night without worry, and experience the peace of Christ that surpasses all understanding that guards our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
To do this we must “abide”, live and rest with God and entrust ourselves to His protection.
“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, by living right with God and pledging our daily devotion to Him, we are transformed into Christ like people (ROMANS 12:1-2) and we will be kept safe from the everyday dangers of life-the snare of fowler (the devil).
In today’s world of manufactured pestilence and mandates, lies and evil agendas, many have fallen victim to fear. As a result, we see an increase of anxiety/ depression, suicidal thoughts, health issues, learning difficulties, divisions, broken businesses, and even our world financial systems are failing; the fret of world war is looming over us more and more while many of Gods people have been deceived and have slipped back into the world.
Your place is the Kingdom, not the things of this world.
We all need to live in this world, but heaven is our home.
Therefore, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved exchange your fears for faith; stand on the promises of God, for under His wings you shall take refuge and His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
We can no longer put our trust in world governments, nor can we trust in their science, for it is the devil using them to place us in bondage to the world systems; they are bringing controls and manipulation that is preparing the people to receive the mark of the beast (REVELATION 13:15-18),and eventually destroy our lands, our financial and health systems, and our very hope.
Like sheep, they lead us to the slaughter, but in Christ we are more than conquerers (ROMANS8:31-39).
My beloved, put your trust in Jesus and the victory shall be yours through Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
For the Lord is doing a good work in these last days of darkness; the truth is He never stops working.
God is pouring out the new wine into the new wine skins, for the old is depleted. Furthermore, He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11). Even so, still many are hanging onto the old, for they say the old is better (LUKE 5:39).
Nevertheless, the whole body shall work together like a well oil machine (EPHESIANS 4:11-16) to reach out to the lost, heal the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepors, and cast out demons in Jesus name (MATHEW 10:8).
The old has gone and the new is here, for the new wine is ready and is being poured out into the specially prepared wine skins, Chris elect (ROMANS 11:4-5), for Jesus time has come (JOHN 2:1-11).
He said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, regardless of the darkness that hovers over us, God is in control and our future is sealed.
“Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“

His Unfailing Love Continues Forever

Make A Joyful Shout To The Lord

PSALM 100:1-5
“Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/psa.100.1-5.nkj

v

This prayer of David was for help that he may walk a blameless life.
He may of written this psalm early in his reign as king to set out the standards he wanted to follow, and he was very aware to achieve such standards, he needed God’s help.
To live with integrity we not only need to make every effort, we need God’s help; we can do nothing good and lasting in our own human strength.
David tells us to come before God’s presence with singing, acknowledging that the Lord is God.
He is our creator God, we did not create ourselves, yet many live as though they are the creator and centre of their own little world.
This mind-set can lead to pride, greed, idolatry, and should everything be taken away, one might lose all hope. But when we acknowledge that God created us, He is faithful to provide and sustains us because He cares about us; His love endures forever, and as a result, we will naturally love and care for others. Therefore, God will generously provide and you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.
As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever (2 CORINTHIANS 9:8-9.””
““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God alone is worthy of all praise, worship, and honour.
But true worship is far more than singing praises to God once a week in church.
We must express our love and worship to God every single day by the way in which we live our lives, our good deeds, service, and obedience to His word.
God responds to praise and worship, indeed, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated by the power of worship

(2 CHRONICLES 20:22), and the walls of Jericho come crashing down as a direct result of praise and worship (JOSHUA 6:1-27).
As a response to your heart felt praise and worship, the glory of God shall be evident as He manifest Himself and He will fight for you; He will defeat your enemy, even the sickness that attacks your body (ISAIAH 53:5).
Give thanks to God daily for every provision, singing loud His praises, for He is worthy of all praise. He is your leader, teacher, and your guide; He is your provider, your protector, redeemer, and healer; He is your future and your hope.
There is no other like Jesus, His name is above every other name. He has no equal nor rival, and He shall reign forever.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
I tell you the truth, we believers are blessed that God has sent His Holy Spirit to help us and is our guarantee of salvation (2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14).
My beloved, there is no other way, nor truth, nor life, except Jesus Christ.
He is the only way to our Father in heaven and life everlasting.
Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, God is faithful to provide every provision, including the imparting Holy Spirit who will lead you in all truth. He is your help in times of need. But first you must receive Him (ACTS 8:14-17), and then walk in Him to be right with God (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Therefore, as Peter told us, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Physical Training Is Of Some Value, But Godliness Has Value For All Things

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:23:08 GMT

Train Yourselves To Be Godly

1 TIMOTHY 4:6-11
“If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed. But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. These things command and teach.
”‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭4:6-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1ti.4.6-11.NKJ

In society today, their is much emphasis on physical fitness. It’s easy to understand the importance of keeping our physical bodies in good shape. But our spiritual health is far more important.
Our physical health is susceptible to disease and injury, but our faith can sustain us through any tragedy and is the path to life everlasting.
To train ourselves to be godly, we must develop our faith by taking in healthy spiritual food and nourishment every day, and by using our God-given abilities in the service of the church (see 4:14-16).
To grow spiritually you need to read your bibles, study the Scriptures and meditate on them daily, and develop your understanding and relationship with God through regular prayer, and assemble with other believers for fellowship and worship.
It is also important to join a study group, where you can look and discuss Scripture in fine detail. But unless you put into practice what you learn, you are only fooling yourselves, and simply wasting your time.
Jesus Christ is the Saviour for all, but His salvation becomes effective only when you cooperate with Him and put your trust in Him (see ROMANS 12:1-2).
“Old wives fables (tales)” is a supposed truth that not only is a lie, but is actually passed down through the generations. Such tales can come through superstition, folklore, and unverified or exaggerated claims of doctrines.
These lies are nothing less than strong holds of the mind and can be passed on to others including our children; hence they are generational and curse those who live by them.
These curses open doors to the demonic through the sins of our ancestors, and can bring poverty, sickness, both physically and mentally; anxiety/ depression, and even suicidal thoughts; they can inhibit conception and bring what many see as “bad luck.”
My brethren, there’s no such thing as “bad luck,” everything that happens has a source, both good and evil; It can be human achievement or failures, or godly or demonic influence. But there will always be consequences of our actions, good and evil.
Sin separates us from God and opens the door to the devil and lets him in, not only into your life, but also the generations to come.
But the Good News is, God is faithful to forgive and deliverer (JEOL 2:36) and uses our troubles to build and teach us (JAMES 1-2-4).
Therefore, my “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Does your life seem to be going round and round in circles, like are you facing the same old financial problems, problems in relationships and marriage, health, or finding it difficult to conceive, or seem to be accident prone or have any issues that repeat and repeat.
Even cancers can come as a result of curses or demonic influence.
The devil has many ways of getting into our lives; sin, un-forgiveness, false religion, lies, witchcraft, objects such as ornaments if the devil owns them or they are too important to you.
He uses ungodly soul ties to gain access to your body and strong holds of the mind to manipulate and control.
“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, He joins with his or her spirit and that person becomes one spirit in Christ. “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit manifests through one’s soul to bring good works through the flesh, and out of the belly/ heart flows rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
But when one joins with a harlot, or the devil through sin, their bodies become one in flesh, and the Holy Spirit retreats from the flesh, and remains quietly joined to his or her spirit.
It will feel like the Holy Spirit has left or that you’re alone in the wilderness, but He never leaves us (JOHN 14:15-18), but rather, convicts change, repentance, and submission from within and the devil shall flee from you.
Maybe through no fault of your own, some areas of your life have been cursed or you have become or are already demonised.
But I assure you, demons can be expelled and curses can be broken; strong holds can be torn down, and ungodly soul ties can be cut; we believers have authority over the demonic (LUKE 10:17) and He in us, is by far, more powerful and greater than any demonic force.
Furthermore, physical healing usually follows when deliverance is achieved or the curse has been broken.
The truth is, deliverance is key to a changed life and comes only through Jesus, for He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
“Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:4-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If this post relates to you, whilst it is possible to deliver one’s self through Christ, it can be difficult; therefore, get yourself to a “Born Again” ministry operating in healing and deliverance and get set free.
Remove the sin, the lie or object, or whatever is holding you, for nothing will change until you do.
“Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Break the curses, remove strong holds. Cut the ungodly souls ties and expelle the demonic.
Send all your fear to hell, and shame can go there too, along with all poverty, depression, addiction, broken marriages, and all the torment the devil brings.
Jesus is the only truth and the truth will set you free.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For I Am Convinced That Nothing In All Creation Can Separate From The Love Of God That Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 06:43:15 GMT

Jesus Makes Ways No Else Can Make

ROMANS 8:38-39
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:38-39‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.38-39.NKJ

This passage is our ultimate security-the bottom line statement. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ. Not even the powers of hell itself, the unseen forces of evil in all the universe, forces like Satan and his fallen angels (see EPHESIANS 6:12).
Too often, I am sad to say, we hear those words but are unable to apply them to how we live on a day-to-day basis.
Satan is an expert deceiver, he will always try to convince us that God’s love is less than what it really is; that God has abandoned us, and that we are not good enough.
But actually, no matter what the circumstances, no matter how much we have messed up, no matter what powerful forces Satan can throw at us to damage our relationship with God, God will always be there for us with His selfless, unconditional love.
In Christ, we are super-conquerors, He gives us the desire and the power to do that what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
I encourage you, that whatever situation you are facing, what ever troubles have been thrown at you; God loves you, and He wants to help you; simply put your trust in Him, for you can do all things through Christ, who gives you strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
It’s that simple-Jesus has already won your battle-whether that is in your marriage, your health, wealth, or career; whether you are caught up in addiction, or any kind of sin, if you are willing, Jesus will make a way for you, for He wants no man to perish but for all to come to Him in repentance (2:PETER 3:9).
My beloved, whatever your struggles, come to Jesus today-He is the way in your situation-the only way to a permanent resolve however impossible it may seem. He is the truth-the only truth you can truly believe, and He is the life-the resurrection life that affords you an eternal future that only He can give. Jesus is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
My beloved, God never stops working; He is making ways for you right now.
When you’re in the fire, He’s there too (DANIEL 3:16-28). He goes before you to make a way, and is with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8), and like Peter, whatever comes, when focused on Jesus, you can walk on those stormy seas, and even if the the noise overwhelms you and you start to sink, Jesus is there to take your hand, lead you to safety, and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:28-31).
My beloved, with five smooth stones, the five fold ministry of God (EPHESIANS 4:11), you can take down the giants in your life and silence them forever (1 SAMUEL 17).
Therefore, make David’s prayer of thanksgiving your prayer today.
“On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord: Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works! Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore! Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones! He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth. Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations, The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant, Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,” When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it. When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people, He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place. Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. And say, “Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.” Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.”
‭‭I Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭7‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

My beloved, we who believe on Him are forever safe in His mighty hands, for "nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Keep This Book Of The Law Always On Your Lips; Meditate On It Day And Night, So That You May Be Careful To Do Everything In It. Then You Will Be Prosperous & Successful

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 06:31:44 GMT

The Key To Success

JOSHUA 1:6-9
“Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
”‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:6-9‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jos.1.6-9.NKJ

The success of a mission in the service of the Lord is dependent upon courage, faith which is the opposite of fear, meditation, and obedience. Obedience to walk in the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26) and the Word.
By learning God’s Word and meditating on it, and keeping God’s Words in our hearts, we mould our character and guide our footsteps.
God’s Word is living and powerful and actively works in all who take it in and walk in it. It is medication for one’s soul, but like any food or medicine, it only works when you taken it in and digest it.
Unlike any other medication, no one can overdose on God’s word, the more one takes it in, the better; it just carries on doing its good work within.
Like sheep, we must chew the cud over and over and over again.
Keep chewing over what we take in to add to our knowledge, and repeatedly ask God for revelation and understanding and allow it to actively work within. ”For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.“
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many believe that prosperity and success come from having power, influential contacts, and a relentless desire to succeed. But the strategy that God taught Joshua goes against any such criteria.
God told Joshua, to succeed you must be; “strong and courageous,” and because the task ahead would be difficult, he must “obey God’s law,” making time to regularly read and study the “book of instruction,” the Holy Bible.
Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all want to be wealthy and successful. And these feelings are particularly strong when starting a new project as was Joshua.
From the start of Joshua’s leadership of Israel, God laid out His key to success-meditating on God’s Word, rehearsing it over and over in thought in order to understand its implications for the situations of life.
The meditation process changes the way we think because God’s thoughts literally become our thoughts, He gives us the desire to do His will rather than ours, and empowers us to do it.
As we live in sync with God’s plan for our lives, it follows that we will be successful and prosperous; For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
Just like Joshua you can be successful in your career, your marriage, your ministry, and indeed everything you do, by simply following the instructions God gave to Joshua and walking in the Spirit.
My brethren, make time to take in Our Daily Bread, chew it over, and digest it and allow it to actively work from within.
Be courageous without fear, obey God’s law, and constantly read, study, and meditate on God’s Word. It is key to your victories, successes, and your eternal future.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

He Guards The Paths Of The Just And Protects Those Who Are Faithful To Him

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 07:16:04 GMT

Seek Knowledge, Wisdom, & Understanding

PROVERBS 2:3-11
“Yes, if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2:3-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.2.3-11.NKJ

V

Wisdom’s starting point is God and His revealed Word, the source of “knowledge, revelation, and understanding”.
Indeed, wisdom, as is knowledge, revelation, and understanding, is a gift from God, but to receive it, you must earnestly seek it. And because understanding and revelation is all hidden from the rebellious, it takes great effort to find it and use it.
But if you really desire it, ask God, for He is faithful to give it all.
God told us the importance of knowledge through Hosea, saying “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.“
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Finding the pathway to knowledge and wisdom is an uphill struggle and very strenuous, but once on the path, you will soon come to understand that true wisdom is from God, and He will guide and reward all who are sincere and persistent in their search. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God wants to bless us with wisdom and victory, but it will not come to those who continue to drift through life acting recklessly or irresponsibly with His gifts and resources.
We believers need to focus on God’s plans, rather than our own, and be faithful to stay focused and use our God-given gifts and resources according to His plans and purposes.
Furthermore, we must be aware that the deceiver is never far away, studying our every move and weaknesses before he brings individual trials, challenges, and temptations our way.
He attacks one’s mind with ungodly desires of status, riches, and whispers of deceit and sends false prophets and teachers to fill our minds with lies and false doctrine, and he’s good at it.
Just as God uses the wicked, so Satan uses Gods naive people to deceive, distract, and hinder many of faith.
Like the fake news media he deceives by activating our emotions that we believe his lies, and also by using emotional blackmail to manipulate and control.
Emotions are not a tool of discernment, and are easily activated by half truths.
Discernment comes from fact not fictional claims, and is proven by the Holy Spirit within.
Fear is one of the major weapons of the devil, with it he brings bondage and control. He also uses anger and rage to bring confrontation, conflict, and confusion to bring clarity to his lies and ultimately divide the church.
To overcome such deceit we believers need discernment and clarity of the Holy Spirit.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Discernment is a spiritual gift (1 CORINTHIANS 12:8-10), and therefore ask in Jesus name and it will be given (MATHEW 7:7-8; JOHN 14:13).
Furthermore, my brethren, we must cooperate with God, living right by the leading of the Holy Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26), presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service; not being conformed to the things of this world, but rather, being transformed by the renewing of our minds that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
Furthermore He will then protect us and keep us from the pride and greed that so easily ensnares us. When we do our best, God will do the rest.
To gain wisdom, we must first trust and honour God; we must realise that God’s Word reveals His wisdom to us, and we must make a continuous series of life-long right choices, avoiding moral pitfalls. We must, when making mistakes or sinful choices, repent and learn from them and change direction.
To gain knowledge, we must study the word, asking the Holy Spirit within for understanding and revelation, and piece by piece, He will remove the vail that hides the truth from us (2 CORINTHIANS 2:16) and knowledge and understanding will grow from within.
My brethren, our walk with God is not always going to be easy; the path is narrow and difficult and brings with it many trials and sorrows.
But many have already run the race and with God’s help and have victoriously crossed the finish line.
Like you, not one of them could take their riches with them; we all leave this world as naked and empty handed as we arrived on the day we were born (ECCLESIASTES 5:15).
The things of this world are all to often too important to us. Whether our home, car, bank balance, status, or even our ministry; they are temporary and not necessarily God’s plan for us.
If we are going to serve God to the full, we must let go of our plans and allow God to bring in His.
That is to say, we must live our lives with our hands and hearts wide open and let go of that which God wants to remove, including possessions and people, however valuable they may seem to be, so that we can walk in the Spirit according to God’s plans and purposes, and run the race God has for us.
My beloved, “There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind? All his days he also eats in darkness, And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger. Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage. As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God doesn’t want us to live in poverty, quite the opposite, but it is not good to live beyond our means.
““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we must get our priorities right, therefore, seek God and His righteousness above all else, and then ALL shall be added to you.
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
God bless you all.

Commit Your Way To The Lord; Trust In Him, And He Will Act

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 06:37:35 GMT

Trust God & Do Good

PSALM 37:4-5
“Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.37.4-5.NKJ

V

To delight in someone means to experience great joy in his or her presence. This can only happen when we know that person really well.
David calls us to take delight in the Lord, thus, we must get to know Him better by regular study of God’s Word and regular prayer time.
The only real way to know someone well is through relationship, which develops by spending quality time with them.
Make time to know Jesus; build a relationship with Him, after all, He is the Judge that shall decide your eternal future.
As we take in knowledge of God’s selfless unconditional love, His mercy and faithfulness toward each and every one of us, His great love will indeed give us delight.
To commit ourselves to the Lord, means entrusting Him with absolutely everything in our lives.
It means to trust Him with our health, wealth, and relationships, our families, careers, possessions, our plans and purposes, and our entire eternal future to His control and guidance, believing that He can care for us better than we can care for ourselves; believing that “God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28).
I encourage you, that whatever situation you are facing right now, however extreme, or disastrous it may seem, whether it’s health, wealth, relationships, children, sin, or accusations, whatever it is, God loves you, He knows exactly what to do, and with Him, your humanly impossible situations, become immediately possible (MATHEW 19:26; LUKE 18:27).
You may be in the most stormy of waters, but by giving it to God, He will make a dry path for you (see ISAIAH 43:16).
Meanwhile remain focused on Christ, and like Peter you shall walk upon the stormy seas that you are facing; furthermore, should you become overwhelmed by the noise of the storm, you can be confident that Jesus is with you and will take your hand and lead you back to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
Therefore my brethren, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
However my beloved, Jesus did not die so that you or I can continue to live in sin and selfishness.
Therefore, “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭12:14-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Don’t be like Esau who couldn’t find repentance even though he sought it with tears. But rather, “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In others words, trust God in everything, and do good by helping others in need.
The results shall be beyond our comprehension, as we reach out to others with love and kindness to help them in their time of need, which shall bring a sense of self worth and peace, for God is faithful to send those gifted to help us in our time of need, and the love of God will grow throughout His people with praise and worship to the king.
My beloved, God is faithful to lead all who believe and are truly willing; those who decide to turn from sin toward God to a path of righteousness, “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
He does this by the leading of the indwelling Holy Spirit. That is “the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, you are not of this world, but rather, children of God, seated together In heavenly places (EPHESIANS 2:6), called to shine for Christ (PHILIPPIANS 2:15).
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Call Heaven And Earth As Witnesses Today Against You, That I Have Set Before You Life And Death, Blessing And Cursing; Therefore Choose Life, That Both You And Your Descendants May Live

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 05:19:37 GMT

God Wants No To Perish, But All Choose Life

DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
”‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:19-20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/deu.30.19-20.NKJ

Moses challenged Israel (God’s people) to choose life, to commit to God and obey Him in all His ways, and therefore continue to experience His blessings.
God doesn't force His will upon anyone. He allows us humans to decide whether to follow or reject him.
However, this decision is a life-or-death decision (v 15). God wants us all to realise and fear the consequences of our choice, for He wants no man to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
Daily, in our walk with God, regardless of our situations, or the trials and troubles that we face, we must affirm and reinforce our full commitment to God.
Jesus paid a very high price with His own blood, to pay yours and my debt of sin; thus giving us all the opportunity of abundant life (JOHN 10:10) that starts in the very moment one commits to Him.
That ultimately brings peace into our lives regardless of circumstance, and with it, joy in the Lord which is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10), and the confident hope of eternal life in paradise heaven.
Furthermore, His promises extend to our descendants, ”For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”“
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Today the Lord is calling out to His people with this message: ““For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:11-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Give Them Eternal Life, And They Will Never Perish, And No One Will Snatch Them Out Of My Hand

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 05:45:04 GMT

I And My Father Are One

JOHN 10:28-30
“And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭10:28-30‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.10.28-30.NKJ

V

Just as a shepherd protects his sheep, Jesus protects His people from eternal harm.
We are in a war zone, but not so much with people, but rather with evil spirits and demons who use people for their satanic agendas. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
‭‭Ephesians 6:12NKJV
Therefore we believers can expect to suffer on earth.
Satan will do anything he can to stop us spreading the Good News and grow in Christ; he will attack us in any which way he can, whether financially, through our health, our relationships, and all kind of temptations, addictions, lies and false teachings; His purpose is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, and he is good at it.
But Jesus suffered for His people, He came that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
Therefore, since Christ suffered for His people, His people can expect to suffer for Him as they preach the Good News of salvation.
However, even though the battle is often within our souls (our minds, will, and emotions), Satan cannot take away our eternal life with God.
There are many reasons to be afraid here on earth because this is the devil's domain (1 PETER 5:8). But if you choose to follow Jesus, He will give you everlasting safety through the conflicts, trials, and challenges we face.
He is faithful to provide our every need and to lead us safely through the trials and testings as we live for Him all the way into our eternal future.
We believers can stand upon His promises that whatever our situation, Jesus is in control. He goes before us to makes a way, and simultaneously goes through it with us to the victory (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
For, ”The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
JOHN 10:30 is one of the shortest verses, yet it is one of the most clearest statement of Jesus divinity He ever made.
Jesus and His Father are one in essence and nature, He is fully man and fully God (the revelation of God in human form PHILIPPIANS 2:6); They are one!
Thus, Jesus experienced all the trials, challenges, and temptations that we face today, but unlike us, He never caved into temptation even when He faced the pain of the cross; He never backed down from the pain He chose that paid for our freedoms today and our eternal future.
Furthermore, He never committed even one sin.
He is holy, but He can most certainly relate to the troubles in our lives today.
His love for His people far outweighs the pain He suffered for us. ”For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ NKJV
Jesus is not just a good teacher, He is God. His claim to be God was unmistakable.
The religious leaders wanted to kill Him because they said that anyone claiming to be God is blasphemous and the punishment is death.
Nothing could persuade them that Jesus' claim was true. And just as the scriptures say, Jesus Christ our Saviour died on the cross to pay the debt of sin and make us right with God (2 CORINTHIANS 5:21).
My brethren, “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Jesus died a criminal’s death on a cross; not for His sins, for He committed none; but for your sins and mine, that we may have life, and that we may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10) and eternally.
But my beloved, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you haven’t already, give your life to Christ today, and receive the gift of an eternal future that Jesus has made available to all. My beloved, tomorrow may well be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Dear Friends, Do Not Believe Everyone Who Claims To Speak By The Spirit

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:56:51 GMT

Test The Spirits

1 JOHN 4:1-3
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭4:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.1-3.NKJ

V

We Christians should not believe everything we hear just because someone says it’s a message from God.
There are many false prophets and teachers, and we must test them to see that the spirit they have is of God.
There are many ways to test such people to see if their message is truly from the Lord.
One way is to see if their words match what is written in the bible, but to do that one must have knowledge and understanding of the Word.
Jesus said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
True knowledge and understanding can only come from regular study and relationship with Christ, for a veil hides understanding of the Word from the world. “But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Other tests include their commitment to the body of believers (2:19), their lifestyles (3:23-24), and the fruit they produce (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
“But John says, the most important test of all is what they believe about Christ. Do they teach that Jesus is fully God and fully man?
Our world is filled with voices claiming to hear God’s voice to teach and prophecy, but we believers must test everything we hear to be sure that they are indeed speaking God's truth.
Signs and wonders stir up our emotions to believe, but they are not necessarily confirmation of the Holy Spirit; even the devil can do miraculous things too; he is a liar and very quick to mimic God and His people.
Jesus said, “”Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ NKJV
My brethren, do not be deceived; if you do not make time to know Christ in this lifetime, He will choose to not know you in the next.
Therefore, don’t be complacent, but rather, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling (PHILIPPIANS 2:12).
“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we can gain knowledge of the Word by regularly study, but understanding and revelation can only come from God.
Notice, God’s Word tells us to test the spirit, the source of what we are told, not the words spoken.
The devil will bring lies and deception through the flesh of people and it may well sound good, it may even be encouraging, but sadly, it will be corrupted in one way of another.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
With or without the influence of the demonic, the flesh doesn’t nothing more than satisfy its lust. “Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Only Jesus can give us life, and only by His Spirit can we know the truth and produce good fruits.
He is the only truth that we can trust. He alone is the way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6) and abundant life.
Without His Holy Spirit, we cannot receive the truth. “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But first my beloved, one must believe and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Blessed Is The Man Who Trusts In The Lord And Whose Trust Is The LORD.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 06:05:25 GMT

The New Wine

JEREMIAH 17:5-8
“Thus says the LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.
”‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jer.17.5-8.nkj

v

There are two kinds of people contrasted here, those who trust in humans, whether others or themselves, and those who trust in God Almighty.
The people of Judah were trusting in false gods and military alliances instead of God Almighty, and thus they were barren and unfruitful.
In contrast , those who trust in the Lord flourish like trees planted along a riverbank, for they have an unlimited source of water even in times of drought, and as a result, they were continually fruitful.
As Christians, by putting our trust in God, we have an unlimited source of strength that comes from the living waters of Christ (JOHN 7:37-39), and the truth is, nothing can stop God's work; every impossible situation we face is possible with God (MATHEW 19:26); “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Today, we believers are blessed with the gift of the the Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18), who shall lead us in all truth (JOHN 16:13). But we still have choice, to walk by the leading of flesh and it's lust, or in the Spirit.

Those who walk in the Spirit shall produce the fruits of the Spirit, but those of the flesh shall do nothing more than satisfy it's lust (GALATIONS 5: 16-26).
In times of trouble, those who trust in people will be impoverished and spiritually weak, so they will have no strength to draw on. But those who trust in the Lord will have abundant strength, not only for their own needs, but even for the needs of others.
Are you satisfied with being unfruitful, or do you, like a well-watered tree with roots that go down to the very depths of the water bed where there are ample supplies even after long spells of drought that give strength for times of crisis; and even some to share with those in need as you bare fruits for the Lord?
My brethren, in who do you put your trust?
When provision runs low, do you ask people who may or may not have the resources to help, or do you put your trust in lucky charms that cannot do anything, or false gods that will deceive you, or the dead that have no abilities in this physical earth whatsoever, or do you ask Jesus Christ our Saviour?
Mary did just that when the wine was depleted, and Christ conducted His first miracle and turned water into wine (JOHN 2:1-11).
Mary could do nothing herself to save her from the humiliation in her situation, nor can she do anything in your situation today.
Therefore, like Mary, ask Jesus for the miracles you need.
Whilst she couldn’t resolve her own situation herself in her day, she cannot resolve yours, but she is a good example to follow.
This was the first sign and miracle of Jesus, but He said, “It’s not My time”, but gave the help needed to save the day and stop the humiliation of running out of wine.
Jesus is ready and willing to save your day and take away your shame in every situation. All you need do is ask.
But now is Jesus time, for the old wine, which represents the blood sacrifices (the power of the church) is depleted and the old man’s church is dead.
Sadly, over six thousand churches have closed their doors over the past few years alone.
But the new is here, for the new wine (Jesus Blood) is being poured out into Christ church, the five fold ministry of Christ, made up of Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors, and evangelist, and with the new wine, comes new powers, anointing’s, and new freedom (EPHESIANS 4:11) for the Kingdom of God is here.
My beloved, He not only wants to help you, He has unlimited resources to do so (EPHESIANS 3:16-19).
Jesus said, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The new powers, freedoms and anointing’s are here and available to all believers, but to receive, one must believe.
But Jesus told us in a parable, “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sadly my beloved, many are still trying to hold onto the old and fail to receive the new.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
When you do it your way, God will stand back and leave you to your own devises; but when you put your trust in God and submit to Jesus, He will make a way for you; your ministry will grow and the signs and wonders shall follow.
Furthermore, your troubles will be dealt with, maybe not the way you hoped or expected because His focus is always eternal, the long-term solution in every aspect of life.
Put your trust in Jesus for He is faithful to send the help you need in every situation.
Truly I tell you, believe, and He will make a way for you to receive.
The truth is, He already has made your impossible situation, possible.
“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Again I tell you, He covered it all. “”Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”

Do Not Let The Sun Go Down While You Are Still Angry

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 06:45:36 GMT

Have life Abundantly

EPHESIANS 4:26:27
“”Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:26-27‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.4.26-27.NKJ

V

Does the bible tell us not to be angry? Of course not! But it does point out that it is very important to handle our anger properly.
If vented thoughtlessly, anger can do extreme damage, often bringing violence, hurting others and is very capable of destroying our relationships.
Furthermore, if bottled up inside, it can cause us to become bitter and destroy us from within.
Paul says, we must deal with our anger immediately, in a way that builds relationships rather than destroys them.
If we hang on to our anger, nursing and feeding it with exaggerated thoughts and words, we will give the devil opportunity to divide us, and give him a foothold in our lives that will eventually open doors for the devil to demonise and destroy us.
The devil will always attack our mind with little whispers of hate and destruction, particularly our emotions to produce fear, anger, hatred and offence.
He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour, his aim is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10).
Emotions are not there to bring discernment, but the whispers of the devil cause us do just that so that when we believe his lies.
He puts in our minds, thoughts such as “no one cares”, God doesn’t love me”, my sins are too great”, “they are judging me”,but the truth is, the devil is a liar and a deceiver. (JOHN 8:44) and he wants us to believe that we are condemned.
But since Jesus paid our debt of sin, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Don't allow the devil to use your anger or situations to open doors that let him in to influence your actions and decisions and eventually destroy you, your loved ones and your faith.
Anger causes uncontrolled shouting and cursing that does so much damage.
We can apologise for something we have said, but we cannot un-say it. The damage is done!
That maybe the seed that one day breaks your marriage or other relationships.
Negative words spoken over one’s self or others are curses, and like all curses, they will need breaking. ”Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The uncontrolled tongue is nothing less than witchcraft and opens doors to the devil.
Curses can come from many ways, like negative words, many forms of witchcraft, and even through the sins of our ancestors before us, and if not broken will continue into the generations to come; they can bring poverty, homelessness, sickness and cancers, they can stop couples baring children, and even break marriages or cause people to remain single throughout their lives.
Therefore, my beloved, take every thought captive and bring them to the obedience of Christ. ”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Are you angry with someone right now? What can you do to resolve your differences?
Stop fueling your anger with wrong thoughts, and guard your tongue.
My beloved, begin to work on mending your relationship before the day ends, don’t allow the sun to go down on your anger, for like a cancer it shall grow, and like any cancer, shall bring forth death.
“Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:25-32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Where there’s division or disagreement, look for common ground to resolve your differences. But if you really can’t agree, learn to respectfully agree to disagree.
Consider your words before you speak them out, and ask yourself, are my words helpful and loving? Do they edify or do they condemn?
“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, maybe you are victim to witchcraft, or negative words that have been spoken over your life, including the words that you have spoken over yourself. Curses are real and will destroy lives.
Are you going round the same roundabout of poverty, lack, dependency, health issues, depression and such as these?
Jesus paid it all and you can be set free from such. For “He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, you do not have to accept the devil’s bondage; come to Jesus and be set free.
My friends, because Jesus who is your creator, chose regardless of your faults, failures, and sin, chose to love you, you can love yourself, and because He chose to like you, you can like yourself.
He paid a very high price for Your freedom and all you need do is believe and walk in that truth.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus said, ”The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.“
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He was and still is speaking to you.
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you think that you may be victim to witchcraft, or may be demonised, we are very happy to take you through the process of freedom, healing, and fullness of life.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Wait For Lord; Be Strong And Take Heart And Wait For The Lord

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 06:05:14 GMT

God Knows What's Best For You

PSALM 27:14
“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.27.14.NKJ

V

David knew from experience what it meant to wait upon the Lord. He was anointed king at the young age of sixteen, but didn't actually become king until he was thirty.
During the interim, he had been chased through the wilderness by a very jealous king Saul who was set on taking David’s life.
David had to wait on God in the most challenging of circumstances for the fulfilment of his promise to reign.
When he became king, he was then chased by his rebellious son, Absalom.
Waiting for God isn't always easy, it often feels like God hasn't heard our prayers, or isn't answering them at all, or he doesn't understand the urgency of our situation; sometimes it feels like we are losing everything and have been abandoned completely.
That kind of thinking implies that God is not in control or doesn't care, but the truth is, God is always in control; He knows exactly what He is doing and the right time to act.
He knows what is needed in your life to fulfil your ministry, your life goals, as well as His, and build and change the way you think to get your priorities in order.
The change He brings in our lives is for our good not evil, and long-term (JEREMIAH 29:11).
My beloved, He is certainly worth waiting for. LAMENTATIONS 3:24-26 calls us to hope in Him and wait for the Lord, because He often uses time of waiting to refresh, renew, and teach us as He leads us through our trials and challenges (see JAMES 1:2-4).
Make good of your waiting times by discovering what God may be trying to teach you. Put your trust in Him, for He knows the best timing for your life and situations, even when it doesn't feel like that.
We see the picture in part, but God sees the whole picture and acts accordingly. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, I ask you my brethren, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Seek The Kingdom Of God Above All Else And He Will Give You Everything You Need

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:56:23 GMT

Walk Above The Storm

LUKE 12:22-34
“Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing. Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” “If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith? “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.” “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:22-34‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/luk.12.22-34.NKJ
V‭
‭‭Jesus tells us not to worry, but how can we avoid it? Only faith can give us freedom from anxiety of the lack of provision or anything else.

Planning and working responsibly is good; dwelling on all the negative ways our planning could go wrong is bad.

Worry is pointless, it cannot change or achieve a single thing except drag us into anxiety/ depression; it certainly will not satisfy our needs.

Worry is foolish because God loves us and knows all our needs. He promises to meet all our real needs, but not necessarily all of our wants or cravings.

The truth is, He will not give that which shall cause us harm; He will not give us more than we can handle.

But these verses are an amazing encouragement to all who believe.

Does God break even one of His promises?

Of course not, He is God and cannot lie.

Fear is the opposite of faith, like hot is the opposite of cold; and worry is simply another word for fear.

But it takes just a mustard seed of faith to turn fear into faith and move those mountains in your life out of your way (MATHEW 17:20).

Therefore, remove worry by first putting your trust in God. Express your trust through prayer, praise, and honour, and stand on the promises of God. That is the simple process to exchange worry for faith.

Furthermore, put perspective on your issues by developing a strategy for addressing and correcting the problems. And thirdly, find some believers who will pray into your situation and strengthen you to deal with your worries. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

James‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬However, “”No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
“‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬My beloved, it’s God’s way or man’s way; when we go our own ways to seek provision, God will stand back and leave you to your own devices.

But when you seek God and remain obedient to Him, all will be added to you. Not some, but all, and without asking, for He already knows your needs.

My brethren, you of little faith, worry less, pray more, and give it to God, for you can stand on His promises. ““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:31-34‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬We all face hardships at one time or another. But our trials and challenges come with purpose-to build and transform us into the likeness of Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 3:18).

Therefore, “”My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
“‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬My beloved, stay focused on Christ, and like Peter you shall walk upon the stormy waters in your life and the enemies plans will be crushed under your feet. Furthermore, even if the noise of the storm becomes overwhelming, Jesus will simply take your hand and lead you to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:30-33).

Therefore my beloved, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
“‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬

Dear Friends, Do Not Believe Everyone Who Claims To Speak By The Spirit

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:11:57 GMT

Test The Spirits

1 JOHN 4:1-3
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.1-3.NKJ

V

We shouldn't believe everything we hear just because someone says its a message from God.
There are many false prophets and we must test and approve everything by running it past God to see that the spirit they have is of God.
Notice, the Word tells us to test the spirit, not the message. If one is Spirit filled, the holy Spirit joins with his spirit and he becomes one spirit with Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https
Once one becomes one in Christ and He speaks by the leading of the Holy Spirit, we know his words are of God and true, and the fruits of the Spirit shall manifest, and out of the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
But that which is of the flesh, often influenced and manipulated by evil spirits, shall aim to satisfy its lust (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Jesus said, ““Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, since we believers are all part of one body in Christ and are gifted and led by One Spirit, it shouldn’t be too difficult to walk in unity (1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-31).
Division and arguments within church is a sign of the demonic, for they produce anger, rage, and such as these. But those who walk in the Spirit produce His fruits, “love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law (GALATIANS 5:23).
Spirit filled believers will have different opinions at times, but the loving way forward is to respectfully agree to disagree and in time, God will bring unity and truth.
There are many ways to test people to see if their message is truly from the Lord.
One way is to see if their words match what God tells us in the bible.
But to do that, one must know his Bible, and that can only come from regular study with revelation and understanding from God.
Other tests include their commitment to the body of believers (2:19), their lifestyles (3:23-24), and the fruits they produce (4:6).
But John says, the most important test of all is what they believe about Christ. Do they teach that Jesus is fully God and fully man?
“Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In every instance, we need to ask the Holy Spirit in us for discernment and confirmation.
False teachings grieve the Holy Spirit in us and that grief is felt as a gut feeling and the red flag rises within.
Our world is filled with voices claiming to speak to God, but do they stand up to these test?
They may sound right, but we must be certain that they are indeed speaking God's truth.
But what about the voice you hear in prayer, or the dreams and visions you have, or the instructions you receive in your heart?
They may seem as they have all come from God, and they may have done so, but have they?
We must ask for discernment and confirmation in every case.
The truth is, most are spirit filled, but not all with the Holy Spirit.
The demonic enter through sin, including the sin of our ancestors, and they impersonate the Holy Spirit and deceive many.
There are also many who are Spirit filled, but also have unclean spirits too, “he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As individuals we must sought cleansing by the blood (HEBREWS 9:14) and a renewed mind (ROMANS 12:1-2).
My beloved, not one of us is blameless, if that was the case, we wouldn’t of needed a Saviour.
Are you caught up in repetitive sin; are you continuing to face the same troubles like you are going round and round on a never ending merry go round; are you hearing voices or having sleeplessness nights or nightmares? These are signs that you may be demonised or possessed.
Possession is not ownership as many believe; if one steals a car, he takes possession, but he doesn’t own it. When the thief is caught he must return that which he has stolen.
When squatters enter a house, they possess it, but they don’t own it and when taken before the courts are evicted.
To evict demons, just like squatters who have moved in to someone’s house, one must obtain a court order from the Judge in the courts of heaven to evict them.
Sin let them in, including the sin of one’s ancestors, and repentance ticks the boxes before the judge to authorise eviction.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Submit to God-repent and turn from one’s evil ways toward God. To resist the devil, is to stand against his temptations and verbally call him out, then he shall flee from you.
Another sign of false teachers and prophets is prosperity preaching, manipulation and control.
They make promises on Gods behalf that they have no authority to make, saying such as “whatever you put in the offering basket today, God will bless you more,” God said, “you must give me this or that,” usually after false words of encouragement.
Furthermore, they place unnecessary rules and restrictions on the congregation and operate their ministry as a business.
They operate to satisfy their lust and selfish ambitions, with unnecessary controls and religious rules.
We see God’s Word twisted for the purpose of manipulation and gain.
These are not of God, but from devising men who are usually demonised.
But the Prophet Micah tells us, ”Woe to those who devise iniquity, And work out evil on their beds! At morning light they practice it, Because it is in the power of their hand. They covet fields and take them by violence, Also houses, and seize them. So they oppress a man and his house, A man and his inheritance. Therefore thus says the Lord: “Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.“
‭‭Micah‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, don’t be deceived by false Prophets or indeed, by the demonic.
Like David, call out to our Father in heaven “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:23-24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Don’t be one of those Jesus spoke of when He said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, you do not have to live in torment.
Ask God to direct you to the right place; a Spirit filled church operating in the five fold ministry of Christ with the seen signs and wonders and be delivered from the evil one.
It is encouraging to know that we are living in the time of Joel’s prophetic message: ”“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God, Who Began The Good Work Within You, Will Continue His Work Until Jesus Returns

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 05:43:55 GMT

Jesus Did It All

PHILIPPIANS 1:6
“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/php.1.6.NKJ

V

God's work for us started even before Christ died on a cross to pay for our sin; it started as He spoke out His creation.
His work within us starts from the very moment we first believe and continues throughout our lifetime. It will be completed when we meet Him face to face.
God, not only paid our debt of sin on a cross, but also sends us, His Spirit filled believers, the help we need to stand firm in our walk with God.
Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s Holy Spirit shall be with us from the beginning of commitment or before, and then live in us, teaching and leading us In the direction He wants us to walk (GALATIANS 5;16-26), not only giving us the desire to do what pleases Him, but empowering us to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
Furthermore, God has given us His Word which also has it’s way in our lives; “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God has sent every help we need to change our lives and live in freedom, but we must cooperate with Him through relationship and obedience to the Spirit in us, respectfully listening to Him in prayer, and by regularly taking in and digesting His word and asking for understanding and revelation of it, for “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Paul is describing the process of Christian growth and maturity that began when we accepted and committed to Christ Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and continues until Christ Jesus returns.
When God starts a project, He finishes it.
As with the Philippians, God will help you grow in grace until He has completed His work in your life.
My beloved, when you are feeling discouraged, struggling with a particular sin, addiction, troubles and challenges, remember that God won't give up on you; He started his good work within you, and true to His promise, He will finish it.
His promises are never ending and He is faithful to add all provisions to those who seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness (MATHEW 6:33).
He is the Lamb of God that overcame all things, the King of kings and Lord of Lords (REVELATION 17:14); He is our creator God (JOHN 1:1-5), our sustainer God (COLOSSIANS 1:17), our leader, teacher (MATHEW 23:10), and guide (JOHN 16:13);He is wonderful, councillor, Might God, everlasting Father, and prince of peace (ISAIAH 9:6).
He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He said, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, He is the corner stone on which we stand (ISAIAH 28:16).
But if we desire Gods blessed changes in our life, we must cooperate with Him.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When you feel incomplete, unfinished, or distressed by your shortcomings, remember God's promises and His every provision.
Don't allow your present condition to rob you of the joy and peace of knowing Christ, or hinder you from growing closer to Him. But rather press in, make a point of taking in His word daily, making time for prayer and worship, not forsaking the assembly of yourselves (HEBREWS 10:25); praising Him who loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son to take your place on a cross.
“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Live As People Who Are Free

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 07:27:47 GMT

Respect All Human Authority

1 PETER 2:13-17
“Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God. Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.2.13-17.NKJ

V

When Peter told his readers to respect all human authority, he was speaking of the Roman Empire under Nero, a notorious cruel tyrant.
That's not to say, he was telling believers to compromise their consciences.
As Peter had told the high priest years earlier, "We must always obey God rather than any human authority" (ACTS 5:29).
But it was and still is possible in most aspects of daily life, to live according to the law of the land without compromising our relationship with God.
In today's world, some Christians live in freedom while others live under repressive governments. But as we approach the coming day of the Lord, persecution is growing all around the world.
As Christians, we are all commanded to cooperate with rulers as far as our conscience will allow.
We are to do this, "for the Lord's sake"-so that His Good News and His people will not be breaking moral or civil laws.
But however, that doesn’t mean we should remain silent when we see our world leaders abusing their powers, or pouring out unreasonable restrictions and mandates as is in today’s world.
We believers have an obligation to voice our concerns and stand up against the corrupt church and world leaders, governments, and organisations that are systematically silencing our voices, hiding truth, or destroying our financial systems, our businesses, our health organisations, and stealing our freedom to live godly lives.
It is the responsibility of the church to hold our governments accountable and on a godly path; “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sadly, we are not seeing this and our world today, and the people are slipping down a very slippery slope of darkness and all kinds of sinful behaviours have become acceptable in society, including sexual immorality and abortion.
We believers have freedom in Christ, not to satisfy our lust, but rather to serve Christ.
The apostles defined freedom more narrowly than the normal use of the word in common language.
Christians are supposed to use freedom as a tool for a life of exuberant service. It's the foundation that God gives us to reach our highest potential.
Because God gives us freedom from religious rules and eternal guilt, we must not seek to indulge in our own worldly desires, but rather, we should reach for the best God has for us, that what is pleasing to Him.
But it’s not simply corrupt politicians and world leaders that hold us in bondage. ”For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
These are spiritual beings that live here in this world today.
Their purpose is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, your life, your body, and even your eternal future, but Jesus came to give you life, and that you may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
These unclean spirits and demons, like squatters, enter our bodies which to them is a dwelling place, a physical body that they can operate from and dwell within in this physical world.
They enter through sin, even the sin of our ancestors and operate through our souls, our mind, will and emotions, to influence and manipulate our desires and responses to use us for the devil’s purposes.
Many say people cannot be possessed because possession is ownership and the devil owns no one.
But the truth is, our bodies are vehicles to operate from in this physical world, and just like when a thief gets behind the wheel of one’s car, he takes possession of it and drives it in any direction he desires to do evil things.
That’s not ownership, when caught and evicted, the rightful owner takes back all control.
Just like in this world, when the judge issues an eviction notice, the squatter has to leave the house; sometimes by force. ”Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. “James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Submit to God, is to repent and turn from sin, that was the authority that let the devil in.
To resist is to not submit to the devil’s temptations, but rather, verbally command him to leave by the authority of Jesus Christ, and he will flee from you.
Therefore, ”Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many people, through the sins of their ancestors, are born “demonised” and are unaware that they need deliverance.
They go through life not understanding why their lives go round and round the same roundabout of poverty, broken relationships, confusion, sickness, anxiety, depression, and misery.
Their lives are subject to generational curses that bring inherited genetic diseases.
Therefore, the problem you are facing right now may not be your own doing. It may be as a result of an evil inheritance which can be in the form of generational or genetic curses.
The Bible says that the sin of the father will be visited on his children to the fourth generation and sometimes to the tenth generation. (Deuteronomy 5:9, 10; Exodus 20:4-6).
Sickness and genetic diseases can be inherited.
A classic example was the case of Gehazi, the servant of Elisha (2 Kings 5:27). Elisha cursed Gehazi saying, "The leprosy of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow."
People don’t understand why they repeatedly do what is wrong, and fail to do what they ought.
God’s Law is good, but as Paul told us, “Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭25‬ NKJV
The good news is, Jesus paid the debt and made it possible to be set free from every curse, including death.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, freedom starts within and comes only through Jesus Christ.
He said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”“
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The disciples were confused, and answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?” Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.“
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Maybe you are struggling with repetitive sin, or caught up in addiction, or your life seems to be going round and round the same roundabout of despair. If so, it’s likely you need deliverance and need to seek help from a church operating in the deliverance and healing ministry of Jesus Christ.
The truth is, deliverance is key to a changed life and healing.
But having been set free, let your freedom in Christ sing power, joy, and love, accountable to God; devoted to pleasing Him and helping others, “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, know this, ““When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
One cannot carry on in the old sinful ways; repentance is to turn toward God and sin no more.
We cannot be right in our own power or abilities. But Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, only by total submission to the Holy Spirit can one live right with God.
But before one can walk in the Spirit, one must receive Him.
Therefore, take on board Peters words, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Having received the gift of the Spirit, one must put his lust to death and walk in the Spirit.
“For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
If you think you may be in need of deliverance or healing, we are very happy to help and take you through the process.

For The Word Of God Is Living And Active

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 05:42:14 GMT

God's Word Requires Application

HEBREWS 4:12
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.4.12.NKJ

V

The Word of God is more than a book of words, or a vehicle for communicating ideas. In deed, their is immeasurable power in the bible you hold in your hands (ISAIAH 55:11).
In it, we encounter the very words of God Himself and the narrative He wants us to have, understand, cherish, and apply into our lives every day.
It is living, powerful, life changing, and dynamic as He actively works within us.
With greater incisiveness of a surgeon’s knife, God’s Word exposes who we really are and what we are not. It penetrates our deepest thoughts and the core of our moral and spiritual life.
It seeks out what is in us, both good and evil.
It works separately through our flesh, our soul, which is our mind, will, and emotions, and our spirit accordingly, separating every part with the precision of a surgeon’s knife to transform us into Christ like people.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, all creation came to be because God spoke it out. “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We are children of God and the words that come from our mouths are powerful. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, we must be disciplined and mindful of our words.
“My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s Word requires application; we must do more than just listen to God’s Word.
We must gain understanding and receive revelation from Him, speak it out over ourselves and situations, and we must put into practice everything we learn from Him.
“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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If He is sitting on a shelf for show, or in your car not used, He will be of no use!
Read your bible daily and study; put into practice everything you learn from Him, and ask God to reveal the Scriptures to you.
For God’s Word is the legal root and a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy.
My beloved, all we need do is speak it over ourselves and situations and believe to bring the giants down.
But when we fall into gossip, we curse ourselves, damaging our own body, and give up ground to the devil.
But used with diligence, not only will His word help you to tap into God’s immeasurable power, but it will actively bring change into the church and the way you think and live.
Furthermore, Jesus said, ““Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By obedience to God’s word you shall experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand and it will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6).
Furthermore, with His peace shall come the joy of the Lord, which is your strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
My brethren as spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, “Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree, And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree; And it shall be to the Lord for a name, For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55:6-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

With God All Things Are Possible

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 05:29:35 GMT

Nothing Is Worth Losing Your Soul

MATHEW 19:22-26
“But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:22-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.19.22-26.NKJ

v

We believers must put away all pride and love our God above all else, including all people, our spouses and children, our money, and possessions.
Since our wealth comes from God, we cannot love God with all our heart and keep our money to ourselves.
Using your money in ways to please Him is expressing your love and faith in God; giving to the needy by the leading of the Holy Spirit is trusting God to provide for you in the future.
That doesn’t mean you should foolishly give away everything you have; a fool and his money are quickly parted. But it does mean we must understand that God put in your hand all that you have, and that your hand should remain open so that God can use it for His purposes and to help those in need.
Giving is an essential part of being a Christian; therefore , when God puts on your heart to help someone in need, you should do it quickly and wholeheartedly with wisdom and without complaint or expectation of something in return.
However, do not consider that your good deeds can buy you anything here on earth, least of all your salvation. Furthermore, don’t be sucked in by churches that promote tithes and offerings as an investment that bring financial blessings back to you here on this earth.
God promises to cover your needs, not necessarily your wants, likes, or cravings. But those who do good will live safely in the land, and those who continually rejoice in the Lord, He will give them their hearts desires (PSALM 37:3-4).
But He will not give you that what you cannot handle; He won’t give wealth that shall drag into pride and foolishness.
“Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:6-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It’s not always easy to be a giver, especially when struggling ourselves; but Jesus was quick to recognise that.
He tells us, “Just as it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, it is impossible for a rich person to get into the Kingdom of Heaven, for it is very difficult to give up money, status, and possessions.
The truth is, without the Holy Spirit to help, lead, and empower us, it is impossible for anyone to be saved; we cannot live right in our own strength because by our sin, we have already justified our eternal death.
Furthermore, we cannot justly be saved by good works because good works doesn’t pay off the debt of sin.
Therefore, Gods grace had to be justified by Jesus spilled blood that paid our debt and justified our eternal future with God.
The disciples were astounded, they thought if anyone could be saved, it would be the rich, whom their culture considered especially blessed by God.
They gave the rich ungodly status based on wealth. But Jesus made it clear that success in this life profits you nothing in the next.
But He assured them that while salvation was impossible for man, with God everything is possible for all who believe on Him. That includes the rich, the poor, whether slave or free, the Jews and Gentiles, regardless of their sin, for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (ROMANS 10:8-13).
Whilst it is true that the poor have no where other than God to look for provision, the rich can enter the Kingdom if God brings them into faith in Christ, and away from self and money.
Money and status may give a sense of peace, or a nice life style, but can also be a false sense of security.
The truth is, no matter what you have accumulated here on earth, you cannot take it with you. “As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Trusting in wealth may bring worldly peace and even a sense of joy, but at best is temporary.
But God’s peace surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:7). His peace and joy are eternal, and the joy of the Lord is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
We all want a nice life style, a nice home, a nice car, a pleasant social life, and so on; and there’s nothing wrong with that, but is it not one’s eternal future that is more important? “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As we live at this corrupt world today, we can see our time is becoming short; this world cannot continue much longer as it is; the truth is, Jesus is coming soon to bring the eternal judgment that He promised.
My beloved, now would be a good time to get to know the Judge; not only is He the source of all provision, it is He who will decide your eternal future.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

But If Anyone Suffers As A Christian, He Is Not To Be Ashamed, But Is To Glorify God In This Name

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 07:07:26 GMT

It Is A Privilege To Suffer For Christ

1 PETER 4:15-16
“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody in other people’s matters. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.4.15-16.NKJ

V

It is not shameful to suffer for being a Christian. Peter, John, Paul and others mentioned in the bible, were all persecuted for preaching and living in God’s Word.
But they rejoiced in their suffering, because persecution was a mark of God’s approval of their work (ACTS 5:41) and is a mark of approval on God’s people today.
Just like Peter, John, and Paul suffered for Christ, we believers can expect to suffer for living for Christ.
We shouldn’t seek suffering, nor should we avoid it by doing what is wrong, but instead keep doing good and what is right, regardless of whether it brings suffering or not.
Paul tells us, “Do not be intimidated in any way by your enemies.
Bullies use intimidation, but your strength and courage in Christ will be a reminder to them that they are going to be destroyed and that you are going to be saved by God Himself. For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ, but also the privilege of suffering for Him (PHILIPPIANS 1:28-29).
Paul viewed suffering for Christ a privilege; indeed he certainly suffered for his faith throughout his life.
It goes against our nature to see suffering a privilege, yet when we suffer to faithfully represent Christ, our message and example affects us and others for good (see ACTS 5:41).
Suffering has other benefits too: it takes our eyes off of worldly comforts; it weeds out superficial believers; it strengthens the faith of all those that endure; and it is an example to others who may be watching.
It doesn’t mean we have done something wrong or God is angry with us when we are suffering. In deed, the opposite is true. It verifies that we have been faithful.

We are alone to suffer for Christ, or even to keep the Law, for Jesus sends us all the help we need.

He said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans. John 14:15-18 NKJV

In the days of Christ walking the earth, He was limited by His flesh, but today He is unlimited by the Spirit, and He dwells with and is in every Spirit filled believer to lead, teach, guide and help them all the way.

"Therefore, brethren, we are debtors-not to the flesh. For if you live according to flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out , "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, if in deed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together." NKJV
Don’t allow suffering to pull you down, but rather allow it to build your character.
James said, ”My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.“
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Suffering doesn’t feel good at the time, but God uses it for good as a part of the process of transformation that takes us to a renewed mind (ROMANS 12:1-2).
It is that process that changes our very nature and even the way we think and respond to the challenges of this world.
Yet, if one suffers because of sin, or selfishness, their is no credibility in that. That is God’s discipline that shall hopefully bring many to repentance.
Their is and always will be consequences for our deeds whether good or evil and are designed to teach and bring people to repentance.
But sadly, because of pride and rebellion, most people have to fall to the bottom of the pit before they repent and rise up to walk in the righteousness of Christ; some remain rebellious regardless.
The truth is, God wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9). But sadly many will as will many of their children because of lack of knowledge.
Speaking through Hosea, the Lord said, ”My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.“
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Their are always going to be consequences for our deeds, whether good or evil. Furthermore, evil deeds separates us from God and open doors, that allows the devil in to influence us to sin even more.
Like squatters, they move in to dwell in one’s flesh and gain direct access to one’s soul, his mind, will, and emotions to deceive, and torment, according to the devil’s purposes.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The suffering in this world will not stop until Christ returns and brings final judgment.
But I encourage all believers suffering for Christ, there is no shame on anyone living for Christ; it doesn’t matter what people think, it’s what God thinks that counts.
My brethren, whatever your suffering, God loves you and He is with you with this message:
“”But you, Israel, (all Spirit filled believers) are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend. You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its farthest regions, And said to you, ‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away: Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God bless you all.

When I Am Afraid, I Put My Trust In You

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 07:46:20 GMT

Anxiety Causes Depression

PSALM 56:1-4
“Be merciful to me, O God, for man would swallow me up; Fighting all day he oppresses me. My enemies would hound me all day, For there are many who fight against me, O Most High. Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me?
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭56:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.56.1-4.NKJ

V

During his overwhelming sense of loss, his time as a fugitive in a foreign land, David cried to God for mercy.
At that time, David fled from Saul to Philistine territory; he had to pretend insanity before Achish when some servants became suspicious of him (1 SAMUEL 21:10-15).
David was constantly under attack, but he decided that when afraid, he would put his trust in God.
Fear, like hot is the opposite of cold, and is the opposite of faith.
But here’s the thing, with a mustard seed of faith, we can say to every mountain move, including that mountain of fear in you, and it will be gone.
If one claims to believe on Christ he has at least a mustard seed of faith, if not, he doesn’t believe at all.
Therefore one can choose to use that mustard seed of faith and remove the anxiety and fear that take us to discontent and wrong decisions.
The disciples were confused when they failed to evict demons from a young boy and privately asked Jesus why. ; ”So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭17‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all experience unbelief at times when facing extremities as did David.
Despite his courage to face even wild bears as a shepherd, and the giant Goliath who put an whole army into fear (1 SAMUEL 17:50-53), he struggled with unbelief at times and allowed fear to crepe in.
But his response to such fear was to ask himself, “What can mere mortals do to me,” he realised they can afflict pain and suffering, and even death, but they cannot rob us of our souls or our eternal future. God has us firmly in His hand and these trials and tribulations come with purpose and are all temporary.
In today’s world of darkness there’s much to bring fear upon us; war and the threat of wars; crashing financial systems and health systems; the lawlessness of the world, sickness and death. We all have giants in our lives, but the truth is, even in these extreme circumstances that we face today, we can keep our peace and joy; “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Fear is not only the opposite of faith, but the fuel of depression and heaviness.
“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭12‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you are living in fear or becoming depressed, ask God to restore your spirit of power, love, and of a sound mind.
By keeping calm and patiently waiting and listening, God will instruct our every step, all we need do is ask and then follow the leading of the Spirit. By trusting Him, we can be confident that we are safe in His hands.
To simply seek God and His righteousness will bring all provision, not some, but all will be added to you (MATHEW 6:33), but when fear comes in and our faith is depleted, we can expect nothing from God.
Like David we can take with us five smooth stones, that represent the five fold ministry of Christ, and be ready to choose the one stone needed, the right word or Scripture, place it in our sling and throw it at the giant in our life. That’s the word of God and by speaking it over our situation, we throw a stone of victory at the giant in our life and bring it down.
The head of the enemy becomes crushed under the heal of the woman, the church (GENESIS 3:15).
But on the other hand, if we allow our emotions to influence our decisions, we are likely to fall into fear and dismay and respond to our situations by way of the flesh, rejecting the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Our responses shall come from our emotions, such as fear, anger, rage, and our ambitions will do nothing except attempt to satisfy the lust of the flesh. In deed, one might even run from the church and be separated completely, allowing the wolves to come and devour their victim.
Therefore, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We are not giving a back plate to run from our giants, but rather, a breast plate to protect us when we confront them.
We so easily justify running with excuses like “I need space or time out,” but running from our problems will never deal with them and one will remain bound until it is confronted.
Putting our trust in ourselves achieves nothing good.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭24‬, ‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The devil, like the fake news media, always attacks our emotions with lies and half truths to bring rage, anger, and fear into our situations, anything that will mislead people into believing his lies, to bring anger, rage, hate, confusion, gossip, discontent and division. He also uses our emotions to bring responses like alcohol, drugs, and sexual immorality, and other addictions to bury our problems completely.
We without doubt, harm ourselves by rejecting God when we choose walk according to the flesh.
Therefore my beloved, walk in the Spirit and put the lust of the flesh to death (GALATIANS 5:16-18).
Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul” (MATHEW 10:28).
Instead we should fear God, who is in control of everything in this life and of the next.
I encourage you, whatever you are facing right now, however extreme it may seem; you may not understand why or what is happening, but I assure you, God knows about it and He is in control. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, when you put your trust in God alone, the victory becomes yours through Jesus Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:55-58).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

However, Those The Father Has Given Me Will Come To Me, And I Will Never Reject Them

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 05:42:28 GMT

Jesus Will Meet Us In the Air

JOHN 6:37-39
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
”‭‭John‬ ‭6:37-39‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.6.37-39.NKJ

V

Jesus’ purpose was to do the will of God, not to satisfy His own human desires.
He didn’t work independently to the Father, but in union with Him, reassuring us even more of being welcomed into God’s presence.
Like Jesus, we believers are called to do the will of our Father in heaven, not independently, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit in union with Him and our fellow believers (GALATIANS 5:16:26; EPHESIANS 4:11-16).
Furthermore, Jesus said He would not lose anything that the Father gave Him, including all dominions, authority, and not even one person whom the Father had given Him.
This is a firm affirmation, that anyone who makes a sincere commitment to God, to believe in Christ Jesus as our risen Lord and Saviour is secure in God’s promise of eternal life.
Christ came to save His people, those who believe on Him (ROMANS 10:9-13), and by no means will He allow them to be overcome by the devil to the point where they would lose their salvation, He will not let them slip from His hand (see PHILIPPIANS 1:6). “For God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him (JOHN 3:17).”
This promise of God is available to all, regardless of one’s past sin or future mistakes; regardless, of one’s skin colour, or place of birth; regardless of one’s lack of abilities or achievements or health or disabilities, for it is written, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As we live through these times of darkness, corruption, propaganda, turbulent weather systems, threats of war and terrorism, increasing poverty and lawlessness, sexual immorality, addiction, and increasing depression, we know these are the signs of the time and can see clearly see that our time is quickly running out.
The end is very close.
Jesus said, ““Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭29‬-‭35‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
These times are upon us, and heavens angels are waiting for their instruction to gather together His elect from all four corners of the earth and from one end of heaven to the other to meet Christ in the air, not in heaven. “For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we are heading toward Christ return and the millennial reign, “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭4‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
if you haven’t already, now would be a good time to get to know the coming judge, Jesus Christ and be ready.
“But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Nothing In All Creation Will Ever Be Able To Seperate Us From The Love Of God

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 06:09:56 GMT

I Am A Child Of God

ROMANS 8:35-39
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:35-39‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.35-39.NKJ

V

Paul wrote these hypothetical words to a church that was soon to face horrific persecution.
In just a few years Paul’s words would turn into a painful reality.
Just like in Paul’s day, we believers today face many hardships; poverty, persecution, sickness , false allegations, imprisonment, and even death. These troubles lead many to think they have been abandoned by Christ.
However, these verses contain one of the most comforting, powerful messages, in all Scripture. That no matter what happens to us, no matter where we are or even slip back, nothing can separate us from God’s love.
Suffering should not push us away from God, but instead, help us to identify with Him and allow His unconditional love to heal and strengthen us.
Paul exclaims that it is impossible to be separated from Christ. His death is absolute proof of His unconquerable love.
God reassures us how great His love is so that we will feel totally secure in His presence.
If we believe in these overwhelming promises and put our trust in Him, anxiety and fear will run from us, anxiety/depression cannot abide in us, and even death will lose its sting.
Sadly, we are all too often unable to apply these words to how we live on a day-to-day basis. Satan is an expert deceiver; he will always try to convince us that God’s love is less than it is, that we’re not good enough, or our sin is too great. But the truth is, no matter how much we mess up, no matter how many powerful forces come against us to damage our relationship with God, nothing can separate us from His great love.
He will always be there for us with His unfailing love.
My beloved, He is the One who leaves the ninety nine to find the one (MATHEW 18:12; LUKE 15:4).
Jesus said, ““What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When the devil comes to put you down and remind you of your faults and failures, and your sinful past, focus on the fact that Jesus chose you from the ninety nine and rejoiced. Then you will be able to confidently remind yourself that you are a child of God, His special treasure (DEUTERONOMY 7:6), paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ, and then remind the devil of his ultimate future and send him packing.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Praise The Lord, Proclaim His Name, Make Known What He Has Done

God's Promises Are Forever Promises

PSALM 105:1-2
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples! Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.105.1-2.NKJ

V

Psalm 105 is a reminder that God does not change His mind; He always stands by His promises forever (v8).
Many promises are short term-you promise to keep paying monthly instalments until a debt is paid, or you promise to continue working until a certain job is finished. We make promises to one another in relationships and such things.
Gods promises are long-term, but human promises can only ever be temporary in this world today.
But God’s promises are promises that will last for all eternity; they are forever promises, including His promise of life everlasting (REVELATION 21:3-4).
The first fifteen verses of this Psalm are also found in 1 Chronicles 16:8-22, where they are sung as part of a celebration of David’s bringing of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
God put a rainbow in the sky as a promise to Noah, saying “never again” (GENESIS 9:9-11). His promise to Noah was a forever promise.
He promised Abraham, not only for the land, but also for lineage that would be a blessing to all “families of the earth (Genesis 12:3)”; that promise was a forever promise and it will never cease.
Although God’s people were given a forever promise with the stipulation that they obey and fear Him as the Almighty God, they wouldn’t do it.
The people failed in every way possible.
For example, look at the book of Judges. Not only did the people turn away from God, but they turned to idolatry.
The people not only stopped obeying, they actively disobeyed.
The demands of the prophets that God sent were ignored, yet God gave them chance after chance after chance, only to be rejected.
If God’s people wanted to play that game, God would inevitably bring discipline, and they would have to face the consequences of living as if they didn’t belong to God.
The same can be said for today; if the people continue to live as if they don’t belong to God, they can expect a response and He will bring justice.
He started that justice within the church and world leaders. He has exposed the corruption within his own house, and more than six thousand churches have closed their doors over the past few years.
Furthermore, no matter how the corruption is being silenced, people are waking up to the evil within our world leaders, media, and governments.
God will not allow the lies and corruption to continue without consequence, and the hidden agendas are being exposed, and those responsible will face justice.
God took away His hand from the nation of Israel and they fell to their enemies (see 2 KINGS and 2 CHRONICLES).
The Israelites were disobedient and temporarily lost the covenant promises. Temporary, because God had made a forever covenant, and He stands on it and never goes back on His promises.
Though the people fell to their enemies, God sent prophets with messages of hope, freedom, and forgiveness. He reminded them that He hadn’t forgotten His covenant, but something had to change. They could not continue in their disobedience.
Despite all the sin and disobedience in the world, God’s promises continue to stand for “all” who believe on Christ.
My beloved, Jesus time is now, and as in the first miracle, He has produced the new wine and it is being poured out over His chosen people, the new wine skins prepared for such a time as this (LUKE 5:37-39).
The new wine represents the spilled blood of Jesus Christ which brings unprecedented powers.
With new wine, shall come new freedoms and powers to God’s chosen people.
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, that time is now, but to receive the new, one must let go of the old, but sadly, some still believe that the old is better (LUKE 5:39).
My beloved, this world has never been so dark and corrupt.
The evil deeds of the devil are being pushed onto all peoples including our children through our school curriculums and propaganda via the media to deceive the people and are contaminating the whole world, even removing our very identity as male and female.
The sexual immorality is as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah or worse, not only in the world, but in much of the church.
The world’s monetary systems are breaking and our worldly freedoms are systematically being taken away, particularly freedom of speech.
Furthermore, there are continuous frets of war and unrest, and persecution of the church is growing.
We believers cannot conform to the inappropriate things of this world, neither its systems or sinful ways, like abortion, sexual immorality, gender change, and such as these.
Jesus died to pay our eternal debt and defeat sin and death for all time, but that doesn’t mean that we can continue in it.
There’s never been such a time as this and it cannot continue for much longer; Jesus return is imminent, but not before a last call of repentance and revival of the church.
Not the old man’s religious church, put together by the likes of the Pharisees, that has gone, but rather, Jesus five fold ministry (EPHESIANS 4:11), empowered not by blood sacrifices of animals, but by the spilled blood of Jesus Christ, and the time is now. He is the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 5:12).

“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“

‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Therefore My beloved, give thanks to the Lord, praise Him, proclaim His name, and make known what He has done.

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Be Still, And Know That I Am God; I Will Be Exalted Among The Nations; I Will Be Exalted In The Earth

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 05:53:29 GMT

I Trust In God

PSALM 46:10-11
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.46.10-11.NKJ

V

Life is full of troubles, and it can be very overwhelming as those troubles grow and loom over us, fears and challenges press us, and responsibilities become forever present and overwhelming.
In today’s world of darkness, the pressure is mounting.
We don’t know what troubles the palmist was facing when he wrote Psalm 46, or indeed, what disaster’s were befalling the people of Israel. But the first words that come from their mouths was “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The palmists spoke God love and protection over themselves in the most extreme circumstance and it came to pass.
Fear can’t help us, but God can and will if we allow Him to.
Fear is the opposite of faith, and another word for anxiety. Furthermore, fear is the root cause and food of all anxiety/ depression that so many are suffering throughout the world today.
Not fearing is a determined choice that we can all make by putting our trust in the Lord, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God tells us some 365 times throughout the bible, “Do not fear;” for, when you have overcome “fear,” anxiety/ depression cannot live within you.
Psalm 46 provided the Israelites with some powerful truths; Even though, earth quakes come and mountains crumble into the sea, the oceans roar and foam, God was in the midst of the city, and it could not be destroyed because God’s protection was upon it (verses 2, 3, and 5.)
After all the confession to God and the psalmist put his trust in Him, believers received a blessed assurance that they was safe in His hands, and God’s voice was saying to them , “Be still and know that I am God” (v 10).
I encourage you, that whatever troubles you are facing right now, God is in the midst of them, He won’t abandon you, He is faithful to help and He is in control.
He has authority over all sickness, addictions, poverty, lack, and all things, and as a Spirit filled believer, that authority is in you; but we need to learn how to use it.
The roots of our physical trials and tribulations are in the spiritual realms and we can stand strong in the promises of God, for what is bound on earth is bound in the spiritual realms and what is loosed on earth is loosed in the spiritual realms.
In other words, when we verbally command the devil bound here on earth, he becomes bound in the spirit and unable to operate over our life. When we command him loosed, his hold on us is loosed in the spirit, and the chains are broken.
Jesus said, ”“Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In Old Testament times the battles were outward physical battles, but today the battles are within and over the soul, the mind, will, and emotions (GALATIANS 5:17).
David said, ”Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, on one side is the flesh, the devil’s place of entry, the other side the Spirit, God’s ground, for His Spirit joins our spirit and we are one in Him (1 CORINTHIANS 6:15).
But in the valley is our soul, the battle ground of the Spirit and flesh; “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death”.
To walk in the Spirit requires a renewed mind; a mind that does not conform to this world, the physical, but rather a mind that operates in the Spirit (ROMANS 12:1-2).
When Peter, focused on Christ, He was able to walk above the storm, and you can too. But even when the noise of the world becomes overwhelming, Jesus is always there to take your hand and lead you to safety and calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-23).
David was able to face his giant because he had a renewed mind. He understood that the battle was in the spiritual realms and all he needed to do was trust God.
He took five smooth stones that represented the five fold ministry of Christ; taking the corner stone, God’s word, and then took His aim to defeat the giant, bringing him down and then removing its head to silence him forever (1 SAMUEL 17:50-53).
My beloved, by operating within the five fold ministry of Christ, speaking Gods Word in the Spirit over your every situation, you shall have the victory through Christ (ROMANS 8:37), those giants in your life will be defeated, and ”No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭54‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But a new mindset is needed to shut down the emotions which the devil attacks and uses to manipulate our thought patterns.
Like the fake news media, he brings people false teachings and propaganda to speak into our minds to activate our emotions to manipulate our responses and believe his lies.
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, take those negative thoughts captive and bring to the obedience of Christ.
Remind yourself that you are a child of God, chosen by Him (JOHN 15:16), paid for and justified by His blood (ROMANS 12:4; 5:9).
Therefore, when the devil comes to attack or remind you of your sinful past and failures, remind him of his dark future and command him to leave.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it is then that we become Christ like in our thoughts and responses, ”Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The only way forward in this dark world is Jesus, for He is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
When we make that choice to walk His way in total obedience to Him, within His five fold ministry (EPHESIANS 4:11), lives shall change.
All fear shall flee from you and will go to hell, and shame will go there too, along with sickness, poverty, addiction, mental health issues, and all the devil has to throw us; and like David, we shall truly say, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, put your trust in the Lord, for “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

This Is The Day The Lord God Made, We Will Rejoice And Be Glad In It

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 05:43:56 GMT

Face Your Situations With The Power Of God

PSALM 118:24
“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.118.24.NKJ

V

We all have those days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice.
Our situation seems to be out of control, our mood is down and we are overwhelmed with worry, sorrow or guilt, shame, and often pain.
We just want to hide ourselves as we sink into a pit of self pity and shame.
We have thoughts of how rubbish we are, and beat ourselves up with negative thoughts.
Especially in these days of darkness and even our very hope is being attacked.
There has never been such a time as this, and as a result, we see a massive increase in anxiety/ depression all kinds of mental health issues, including suicidal thoughts, confidence issues, broken marriages, addictions, and lawlessness.
My brethren, it can be an encouragement to look at the writers of the Psalms, who often felt this way and follow their example.
No matter how low the writers felt, they remained honest with God.
They talked to God in prayer; and whatever their situation, their prayers ended in praise.
When you are feeling down and don’t feel like rejoicing, tell the Lord how you feel, and you will find that God will give you a reason to rejoice.
My beloved, He always hears His children.
Maybe you don’t know Jesus yet, or think that you are not good enough, or your sins are too great.
I encourage you, while no sin is too small to separate one from God, no sin is too great for God to forgive; He paid a high price for you, for He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
My beloved, no problem, whether, health, money, marriage, addiction, or any situation at all is too big, small, or impossible for Jesus; He came to give you life, and that you may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
It’s a free gift, all you need do is believe, stand on His promises, and say thank You.
Like David, we all have a Goliath in our life; but it’s encouraging to know that nothing is too big when God is with you.
David picked up five smooth stones, took one of them, placed into his sling, hurled it at that giant and took him down, and then removed his head to silence him forever (1SAMUEL 17:40-51).
Those five smooth stones represent the Jesus five fold ministry of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11), and with Christ ministry, those stones are ready and available to take down the giant in your life and silence the enemy forever.
Jesus Christ is the corner stone, and His Word, His ways, His truth, and His life (JOHN 14:6), will take out every giant in your life; poverty, sickness, relationship issues, addiction, career issues, learning difficulties, and any situation at all, no giant is too big for Jesus; He has the victory even over death.
But whist He gave us a breast plate in our armor (ISAIAH 59:17; EPHESIANS 6:14) to confront our enemies and situations, He didn’t give us a back plate. Trying to run from our situation will only bring pain as the devil throws his fiery arrows.
My brethren, don’t run from the situation that you are in, but rather confront it with every peace of armor and the two edged sword which is the word of God which defeats all our enemies including fear and shame.
My beloved, rise up and rejoice, for Jesus covered it all, cleansing those who believe on Him of all wrongdoing and makes ways where there were no ways.
He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.“
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬
But we all need to understand, if it’s not Jesus five fold ministry, it’s not Jesus ministry; and if it’s not Jesus ministry, it’s of the enemy and he deceives many.
Jesus came to defeat the enemy and build His church, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God blessed you with another day of opportunity, to live and to serve our God.
He paid a high price for you, so don’t waste it by feeling sorry for yourself, or by worrying about those things you cannot change.
Being sad and miserable won’t change them, in deed it only makes them worse.
But rather, confront your situation, “Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.“
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If need, bring your situation to the church and crush the enemy under her feet (GENESIS 3:15).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Now The Law Came |In To Increase The Trespass. But Where Sin Increased, Grace Abounded All The More

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 05:46:01 GMT

A Call To The Alter

ROMANS 5:20-21
“Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/rom.5.20-21.nkj

v

From the moment of birth we are all sinners, separated from God, and we see God's law from below, as a ladder to be climbed to get to God.
The sheer height of this ladder is overwhelming and daunting, and when we consider our sinful past, it looks like an impossible height to climb.
Perhaps you have repeatedly tried to climb it, only to fall to the ground every time you have advanced one or two runs. Or maybe the sheer height is so overwhelming that you haven't even managed to get started.
In either case, you should feel relieved to see Jesus is there with open arms to lift you above the ladder of the law, to take you directly to God!
It is written, “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; He is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).”
But whilst Jesus is the only way to salvation, it is not a complicated process, for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall have eternal life (JOHN 6:47).
Only the Christian faith deals with the problem of sin. No other religion has any kind of answer, nor looks for one. They simply hope that no one noticed, or their good deeds will override the evil ones.
But it is too late, we have all sinned and it is therefore impossible to be saved by keeping the Law or by any kind of good deeds or works, for the wages of sin is death (ROMANS 6:23).
If we speed through a speed camera just once, we are caught, and no matter how our driving becomes perfect and we become obedient to the rules of the road, we must still pay the fine.
For wages of speeding is a fine; one earns it and it must be paid.
But if someone else pays the fine, he is freed from the debt.
God neither misses nor ignores any sin, His camera sees it all, and the wages of sin is always applied.
The law of justice tells us that there is consequences for our every deed, good and evil.
It is true that we are saved by grace, but grace does not and cannot override justice, if it did, Jesus would of had no reason to shed His blood on a cross to pay our debt.
But because He did, He made a way where there was no way for all who believe to be redeemed, simply by applying His spilled blood to their lives.
” But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ NKJV
Jesus being a good Father, made our sin His problem and dealt with it at Calvary.
Sin separated us from God, but when one repents of sin, by faith, Jesus bridges the gap and brings him into the presence of God, and is free to come to obedience out of love, not in his own power, but by the power of God, “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Even when you stumble, you will not fall back to the ground, instead, Christ will catch you and hold you in His loving arms, for His blood covered all sin, past, present, and future.
We humans cannot overcome sin ourselves, so sin ruled over all people and takes them to a place of death. That is separation from God.
But God's mercy and His grace, paid for by the spilled blood of Jesus Christ, is bigger and more powerful than any sin, and therefore God's grace rules, giving us repentant believers, right standing with God, which results in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, justified by the blood, allowing grace to have its way.
This wonderful life that God offers us is everlasting and starts from the very moment one commits His life to Jesus.
With it comes healing, peace, joy, contentment, and “Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, joy in the Lord is their strength (NEHEMIAH 8:20).
My beloved, ultimately, not only can every believer have joy and peace in this world, he or she can look forward to a wonderful and confident hope of eternal life with Jesus (REVELATION 21:3-4).
He said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus did what keeping the Law couldn’t do; He covered it all.
But, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, if you haven’t already, commit your life to Jesus Christ and receive the gift of life.
It starts with a simple prayer of commitment, for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Furthermore, the promise is not limited to one’s self, but to his/ her children and as many as the Lord chooses to call (ACTS 2:38-39).
How great is our God.

My beloved, this is a call to the alter.

An alter is seen as a raised area in a house of God where people can praise and offer devotion, worship, and bring offerings to God. But it is far more, it is the place to receive a new identity in Christ, to start all over and be "born again" into God's family and become a child of God.

Whether you are moved to commit your life to Christ or you have slipped back from your faith, and wish to renew your vows, God's alter is wherever you kneel.

God is listening and faithful to hear your prayer and receive you, therefore, go into your room and call upon the name of the Lord and in your own simple words, commit or renew your commitment to God.
All glory to God, forever and ever. Amen.

Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled. You Believe In God, Believe Also In Me

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 05:59:00 GMT

New Wine

JOHN 14:1-4
“”Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭14:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.14.1-4.NKJ

V

These words of Jesus show that the way to eternal life, all be it the only way (JOHN 14:6), is secure, or at least, as secure as your faith in Christ Jesus.
He has prepared the way for you, all you need to do is believe.
Jesus told His disciples, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (v6).
Through His death and resurrection, Jesus is the way to the Father.
As truth, He is the revelation of God, and as life, He is the source of our very being.
Peter proudly told Jesus that he was ready to die for Him. But actually he failed Jesus, denying Him three times (JOHN 13:37-38).
But however, Jesus, despite Peter’s failures, will not fail Peter or anyone else who believes in Him (1 THESSALONIANS 4:16-17).
Verses 1-3 are rich with promises. Jesus says, “I am going to prepare a place for you,” and “I will come and get you.”
We can look forward to eternal life and all that is promised to be (see REVELATION 21:3-4), because Jesus has promised it to all who believe.
Although the details of eternity are unclear, we can be confident of how amazingly wonderful life will be, for Jesus Himself is preparing a place for us, and will spend eternity there with us (REVELATION 21:3-4).
This dark world today is testing the faith of God’s people. Never before have we seen so much corruption within our world leadership; never before was there so many rules and conditions placed on our lives.
Just a few years ago, we couldn’t have contemplated how it would come to pass that without the mark of the beast we couldn’t buy food or trade (REVELATION 13:11-18).
But today such restrictions, even more, are being put in place before our very eyes.
The truth is, in these last days, we believers are going to be tested and persecuted more, and troubles will not stop coming (JAMES 1:1-4).
It will get more and more uncomfortable for us believers here on this earth. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In the first miracle, Jesus turned water into wine. But when Mary asked Him for this miracle, He said, “it’s not my time yet.” But by His grace, and as a sign for us today, He turned the water into wine.
Furthermore, when the master of the feast tasted the wine, he said, “you kept the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).”
Jesus time has come; the old has dried up, and as a result mans old ministries has dried up and thousands of churches have closed down because the old wine is depleted.
But I encourage you, that God through His Prophet Joel, tells us, ”Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.“
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Jesus is pouring out the new wine into new wine skins; His remnant of today.
Jesus said, “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ”“
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus time is now, His Apostolic five fold ministry is growing fast. With it, comes new powers and freedoms, for the best was saved until last.
Jesus said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many church leaders are trying to hold on to the old, having drunk the old, are rejecting the new, for he says, “the old is better (LUKE 5:39).
Christ five fold ministry takes us deeper than our feet could ever wonder, but it is time to walk beyond our comfort zones and put on the new.
God is calling out to His people to let go of the old and embrace the new.
Your fund raising projects and man pleasing prophecies are not working, and your efforts are in vain and shall remain fruitless, for Christ is moving within His church, building and empowering it His way.
He is taking back the reins, for He is head of His body of people, the church.
The old has gone, the new is here, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬
We believers all fall into the five categories of Christ ministry, apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors, and teachers, not just those who call themselves leaders.
Jesus operates through the whole body, not just part and all are gifted accordingly (1 CORINTHIANS 12:8-10).
My beloved, if it’s not of Jesus ministry your efforts shall be in vain
Hand the reins to Jesus and embrace the new, for Christ kept the best until last, and as Jesus said, “”Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.””
‭‭John‬ ‭14:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

But To All Who Believed Him And Accepted Him, He Gave The Right To Become Children Of God

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 06:25:49 GMT

Only Jesus!

JOHN 1:12-13
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
”‭‭John‬ ‭1:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.1.12-13.NKJ

V

By believing, undeserving sinners can become full members of God’s family; indeed, He gave them the legitimate right to become children of God. Furthermore, He sends His Holy Spirit to each every believer and to help them in their walk with Christ (JOHN 14:15-18).
Therefore, we have no excuses, God has gone beyond all extremities to redeem us and give us everlasting life.
He came to His own people, but instead of a welcome mat, Jesus had the door slammed in His face.
A theme of rejection and reception appears repeatedly throughout the gospel and is very much apparent in this world today.
All who welcome Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives are reborn spiritually, receiving new life from God, a fresh start, a new beginning, and their sins washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ.
Yes, our God sent His only begotten Son to take your place and mine on a cross to pay our penalty of sin.
Through faith, this new birth changes us from the inside out; God starts a good work within us, that changes even the way we think, rearranging our attitudes, desires, and motives.
Being born places you physically in your parent’s family and makes you physically alive (1:13).
But being born again makes you spiritually alive and puts you in God’s family (1:12).
Jesus said, “Don’t be surprised when I say, ‘you must be born again (JOHN 3:7).’
This fresh start is available to all who believe and is eternal.
This new life not only comes with the opportunity of peace of mind and contentment in this life, but with the promise of an eternal future, where God will live among His people; He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying or pain. All these things are gone forever (REVELATION 21:3-4).
But we must all understand, to receive our new life in Christ, we must cooperate with Him; we must let go of our old sinful selves, repent, turn toward God, and walk not in the flesh, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We are all sinners and cannot walk in our own righteousness or strength. If that’s not the case, there would have been no reason for Christ to die for us (GALATIANS 2:21).
We humans cannot keep the Law in our own strength, besides, it is too late for that, for our sin justified our death. But Jesus death and resurrection broke the curse of sin and justified life for all who believe on Him.
My beloved, we all need God’s supernatural help to transform us into a new creation (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17).
Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:15-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God has sent the help need to empower each of us to walk in His righteousness, and to teach, lead, and change us into a new Christ-like people, transformed by the renewing of our minds (ROMANS 12:1-2). But one must believe to receive.
God’s gift of life is available to all who believe.
“Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, this wonderful Good News is available to all. Jesus covered every sin, every curse, and every way in which mankind failed.
Our new life in Christ begins in the very moment one commits whole heartedly to Christ Jesus and shall continue forever.
But “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This wonderful promise is to you and your children, and to as many of your loved ones God chooses to call.
Having received the gift of the Holy Spirit, one must submit to His plans and purposes and walk by His leading, putting to death the lust of his flesh.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Welcome Jesus into your life, ask Him for the gift of the Holy Spirit and to make you a new person; ask Him to start His good work within you.
He is merciful, faithful and true, “And I am certain that God who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day Christ Jesus returns (PHILIPPIANS 1:6).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

In The Beginning Was The Word, And The Word Was With God, And The Word Was God

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:11:55 GMT

The Deity Of Jesus Christ

JOHN 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
”‭‭John‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.1.1.NKJ

V

John 1:1 starts with the moment of creation and contemplates eternity past.
What Jesus taught and what He did are inseparably connected to who He is,
fully man and fully God (1-14).
John wrote to all believers, both Jews and Gentiles.
As one of Jesus’ twelve disciples, John writes with credibility and as an eye witness of exactly who Jesus is and His wonderful works.
His book is not a biography, rather, it is a thematic presentation of Jesus life.
Much of John’s original audience had Greek backgrounds, and the Greek culture encouraged the worship of many mythological gods.
John shows us that Jesus is not only different, but by far, superior to these god’s of mythology.
The Word was a term used by Theologians and philosophers, both Jews and Greeks in different ways. In Hebrew Scripture, the Word was an agent of creation (PSALM 33:6), the source of God’s message to His people through the prophets (HOSEA 4:1), God’s law, and His standard of holiness (PSALM 119:11).
In Greek philosophy, the Word was the principle of reason that governed the world, while Hebrew’s thought the Word was another expression of God. John’s description clearly shows he is speaking of Jesus (1:14), a man that he knew and loved, but indeed, at the same time, was the Creator of all the universe, the ultimate revelation of God, and a living picture of God’s perfection, His holiness, and He who creates, sustains, and holds all creation together (COLOSSIANS 1:17).
To say, “Jesus is God” was seen as blasphemous by the Jewish readers. To Greek readers, “the Word became human,” (1:14) was utterly unthinkable.
But to John, the Word was the Good News of Jesus Christ.
God’s Word is always with God, and the Word was God, “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s Word actively works within us bringing change to our nature-it transforms us by the renewing of our minds that we become more Christ like in our attitudes, responses, agendas, and behaviour; it gives us wisdom, discernment and truth. But the Word of God can only work within us when we take it in, ask for understanding and revelation, and operate in it in obedience to God.
It is like medication that undoes the work of the devil; but like any medicine, you have to take it regularly. Unlike other medications, one cannot overdose on God’s medicine, the more you take in the better.
It has healing power like no other medicine; furthermore, it brings peace and joy upon all who take it in and follow its instructions; that is to cooperate and walk with God.
The peace that comes with it is God’s peace that surpasses all understanding, and guard’s their hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7), and the joy in the Lord is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus Christ is supreme over all creation and realms.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.
“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, since EVERY creature in heaven and on earth and under the sun worshiped Him, He Himself is not a creature or any created being. He is God, He always was, still is, and always will be.
Yet, He is the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 5:12;13;8), and also was risen (MATHEW 28:6).
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, it is written, “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Like the Colossian believers, we must believe in the deity of Christ, that Jesus is God, otherwise our faith would be hollow, without substance, misdirected, and meaningless.
“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, surely we must oppose all those who deny Christ, those who say Jesus was just a prophet or good teacher. Jesus is God from everlasting to everlasting.
For “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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Let The Lowly Brother Glory In His Exaltation, But The Rich In His Humiliation

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:40:54 GMT

Money & Status In This World Are Temporary

JAMES 1:9-11
“Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:9-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.9-11.NKJ

V

Christianity brings a new dignity to the poor and not-influential people of this world. That dignity should be most apparent in the church, where there shouldn't be any class distinctions.
All believers share the distinction and dignity of being changed by the gospel and being charged by the mission of sharing the Good News with the rest of the world.
Believers know they have dignity before God because Christ died for them.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a great example of this truth. The dignity that she displayed when she realized what God had done for her is seen in her prayer of praise, called the Magnificat (LUKE 1:46-55).
Whatever our situation, social or economic, James challenges us to see beyond it into our eternal advantages.
What we can have in Christ outweighs anything of this world.
Knowing Him gives us our high position, where we find our true identity in Him.
The poor should be glad that neither status or riches in this world mean nothing to God, otherwise these people would be considered unworthy. Furthermore, the rich should be glad that money means nothing to God because it is easily lost and can bring many sorrows (1 TIMOTHY 6:10).
True wealth is found by developing our spiritual life in Christ.
Of course we are responsible to steward our own lives and finances wisely, and are called to invest wisely (MATHEW 25:14-30), that their is a reserve for future storms and the ability to help others in need.

When God blesses one with wealth, He does so with purpose, to forward the ministry and help others.
But having said that, God is more interested in the long-term, our eternal future, not in what is temporary, our money, possession, and status.
Jesus said, ”Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”“
‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers need to be deep rooted in the word and strive to treat others as Christ would treat them.
Furthermore, the way we treat others shouldn't be affected by their riches, position, or status.
The things of this world are temporary; “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:11-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is all too easy for those who have riches, to put their trust in money and status; but the truth is no amount of money or status can buy our salvation; we are saved by faith alone. Therefore, “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches, but rather in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:17-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen.

It Is The Lord's Purpose That Prevails

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 06:06:57 GMT

God's Way Or My Way?

PROVERBS 19:21
“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/pro.19.21.nkj

v

When a new shopping complex is being planned, the counsel have a meeting to discuss what it should look like, discuss parking, routes in, traffic, recreation, and everything that should be in it such as shops, restaurants, quiet area’s and so on.
Once the council have agreed, and the plans are drawn up the building work starts. Yet often human plans for one reason or another get changed through the process or never get completed.
The developers run out of money, or people complain it will damage the environment and so on.
The planning was far from perfect, and the developer never accurately considered the cost.
However, when God’s counsel came together to plan His creation, that is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, they covered everything including sin.
God’s plan was perfect from the beginning and will remain perfect forever. Furthermore, nothing can stop God’s plans from coming to pass. He is above all (JOHN 3:31), and “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Is their anyone who thinks he can stop the One who breathed out the stars from His breath?
Whatever God has planned for us will come to pass.
As we study our bibles, we see prophecy turn into history as every prophecy comes to pass.
Nothing can stop God’s plan for you accept yourself, for He gave you free will to choose.
You can choose His plans and purposes for you which leads to eternal life with God or not.
Yet regardless of your choice today, “He makes every provision, “that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He gifted you for a worldly career because we all need to earn to eat (2 THESSALONIANS 3:10), and He gifted you to serve Him, “for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12:8-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our Almighty God gifted us with purpose, but He also gave us free will.
We humans messed up, for from the very beginning, we fell into sin. But thank God for Jesus, for in God’s planning meeting, I imagine their conversation, “what if these humans commit sin? You know Lucifer will tempt them and be kicked out of heaven. He will then go to earth to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10).
“I know,” replies Jesus, but I have a structured plan that is perfect.
“I will go to earth being born of a virgin, and live as a human to start the work of defeating the devil.
He can’t tempt Me; and then I will die on a cross to pay the debt of sin that our people may live forever as planned.
Then the Holy Spirit said, “Once you have defeated death and been resurrected, and return to heaven, I will go to live in our sons and daughters to lead, teach, and guide them through their lives and keep them safe.
I will guarantee their salvation to all those who believe in Christ Jesus (2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; EPHESIANS 1:14).”
Nothing can stop God’s plans. He did not under estimate the cost, He thought of absolute everything. He won’t change what is perfect. And no one or anything can stop Him; He has no equal, no rival, and He shall reign forever!
Jesus did His part to save you-to give you life, and to give it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
He said, “it is finished (JOHN 19:28-30).
For He did everything possible to redeem you, even died for you. But that opportunity of life everlasting will pass and many will perish. For as the Lord said through His prophet, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Salvation is gift from God. It cannot be purchased and doesn’t rely on health, wealth, or status, or any kind of religious acts.
It’s not a complicated process, just simply to believe on Christ Jesus, commit to Him, and submit to His plans and purposes that all comes naturally through relationship with Him.
Jesus said, “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, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, many believe in many ways to salvation. They believe in many gods and that “good people” wouldn’t be sent to hell. But God is a God of justice, and while one is saved by grace alone, grace does not override justice. If it did, Jesus would of not needed to die for His people.
No other religion or faith deals with the problem of sin, except Jesus. He is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6), for He alone justified your new life in Christ on a cross and then was risen.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””

Put On The Full Armor Of God, So That You Can Take Your Stand Against The Devil's Schemes

We Do Not Wrestle Against Flesh & Blood

EPHESIANS 6:10-17
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:10-17‬ ‭NKJV‬

In our Christian life we will constantly come under attack from the enemy. These are not flesh and blood enemies, but rather the devil’s army of principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this age, spiritual host of wickedness, demonic beings and evil spirits.
They are vicious fighters (see PETER 5:8), their purpose is to steal, and to kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10). They, if allowed will bring curses and deceit, pain, suffering, and ultimately death.
We cannot withstand these attacks in our own strength, but rather, we must put on every piece of God’s armor and depend on His strength.
Paul’s words apply to every believer of Jesus Christ.
We are all individual parts of the body of Christ, and the whole body needs to be dressed in the whole armor of God.
If any one part of one’s body was not covered by its immune system, God’s Word and faith, would in time become infected and would not heal, and the infection would spread and can affect the whole body (1 CORINTHIANS 12:26), which is why so many are not healed by Jesus stripes as is written in ISAIAH 53:5.
When we sin, we are separated from God, and lose our protection or immunity and can even become demonised.
Sin is more than simply stealing, lying, or sexual immorality; we commit sin when we believe false doctrines or walk in the wrong direction.
My beloved, we cannot be right with God in our own strength and abilities, but only by total submission to the Holy Spirit and faith.

Without faith, we cannot please God (HEBREWS 11:6).
Repentance, brings us close to God and our immune system becomes operational. But like viruses, these devil’s don’t simply leave; they may become inactive only to rise again and again when our defences are under attack.
To be totally healed, we must evict them in their entirety out of our bodies. Therefore, deliverance is key to a changed life and healing.
“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:12-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We will all face these trials one after another, but God has given us every provision to withstand the attacks and defeat the devil.
But if we are going to be victorious, we must take the battles out of physical into the spiritual and fight on our knees.
Therefore, “Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Your battle is not with flesh and blood, so take the battle into God’s garden, the spiritual realms by “praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit (EPHESIANS 6:18).
I encourage you, whatever trials you are facing, the victory is already yours through Christ if you believe (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57) “for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭20:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He goes before you to make a way, and then He’s with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8), and that includes your impossible situation that you are facing today.
Whatever is humanly impossible is possible with God (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26).
But if we are going to withstand these fiery trials, we must stand in truth and not be sucked in by the lies of the devil, false Prophets, teachers, and the doctrines of man. Therefore, test the spirits, the source of the information you hear (1 JOHN 4:1-5).
Having girded your waist with truth, put on the breast plate of righteousness; live right before God; separate from the sin of this world and give no place to the devil. It is sin that lets him in. ”Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV
Having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; not just read the gospels, but chew it over, ask God for understand and speak it over yourself and establish your peace.
The devil will always whisper into your soul, your mind, will, and emotions, like the fake news media, he is aiming for your emotions to get a reaction, fear, anger, rage, and such through his lies and deceit.
It is our emotions that cause us to believe his lies and respond inappropriately in our situations, which ultimately open doors through our wrong actions, thoughts and words. Once in, he will mislead and manipulate our thinking, and responses even more.

Emotions were never designed to give us discernment, truth comes only from Jesus who is the Truth (JOHN 14:6)
Fear is one of the devil’s major weapons and is the opposite of faith, the food of depression.
When fear is removed, anxiety/ depression cannot survive and will leave.
Therefore, take every thought captive, ”For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, remove all negativity, killing every negative thought by placing it at the cross and put on the new man in the likeness of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:24) and let the Holy Spirit rule in your life.
Speak negativity no more, for what you speak whether over others or ones self is either a blessing or a curse (JAMES 3:10), for ”Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Above all, take the shield of faith and stand firm on the promises of God and remove those mountains in your life.
Jesus said, ”For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.“
‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Like David, we all face giants. But David picked up five smooth stones (1 SAMUEL 17:40), which represents the five fold ministry of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11).
Without fear, full of faith in Christ, he took his stone, the corner stone (Jesus) (1 PETER 2:4-6) and from his sling, hurled the stone, hitting this giant in the head, taking him down and killed him.
Like David, by faith in Jesus, take down the Goliaths in your life. But you must first allow God to prepare you for the coming battles (1 SAMUEL 17).
Take note, God did not give us a back plate to protect us as we run away, but rather a breast plate so that we can confront our enemies and bring them down.
David grew up as a shepherd, protecting sheep from wild beasts; in this he was being prepared for his battle.
God is the shepherd of we His sheep, and He has put before you good food to take in, and like sheep in a field, we must take it in and chew over (chewing the cud) that will prepare us for future battles.

But why do we so quickly look at fast food, books and human teachers that so often prove to be damaging to our health. God's word is the only word to be trusted.
You can trust Him completely, for “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The shepherd within the five fold ministry is the Pastor, it is his place to shepherd his flock, to host, not control, and protect his sheep from those beasts of darkness. It is through his experiences as a Pastor that he and his flock shall grow in preparation to stand against the ever growing Goliath’s of this world that come to steal, kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10).
We believers all fall into at least one category of the five fold ministry of Christ, Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors, and Evangelist (EPHESIANS 4:11), and should be operating within the body of Christ in unity with the whole body, using one’s spiritual gifts to edify one another, taking in the Word, and gathering together in love and faith by the leading of the head, Jesus Christ, that we grow up into mature believers, prepared and ready to bring down the giants in our lives and of this dark world.

It is under the heal of the woman (the church) that the serpents head is crushed (GENISIS 3:15).
Like David, we need five smooth stones the whole body of Christ and the signs and wonders, the power of God that come with it to grow into mature believers of Christ and operate in His truth and defeat our spiritual enemies.
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
James told us, “when we have troubles”, not “if”. They will keep coming, but all with good purpose.
Therefore, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God, through your trials and tribulations is building your patience, perseverance, and faith, that you will become perfect and complete and needing nothing.
“This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3‬:‭21‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Walk By The Spirit And You Will Not Gratify The Desires Of The Flesh

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 07:00:21 GMT

The Battle Is Within

GALATIANS 5 16-26
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/gal.5.16-26.nkj

v

If your desire is to have qualities listed in Galatians 5:22-23, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, then you know that you are most likely being led by the Holy Spirit.
At the same time, be careful not to confuse your subjective feelings with the Spirit’s leading.
Being led by the Spirit involves the desire to hear and obey God with sensitivity to discern between your thoughts and feelings, and His promptings.
Live each day by the leading and guidance of the Spirit, then the Words of Christ will be in you, the love of Christ will be behind your actions, and the power of Christ will help you control your sinful desires.
Paul describes two forces fighting within us, the Holy Spirit and our sinful nature, our evil desires or inclinations that stem from our fleshy desires.
Furthermore, the devil is never far away, ready to temp or deceive your flesh. God allows this to test us and reveal our weaknesses.
Paul is not saying these forces are equal, the Holy Spirit is infinitely stronger, there’s no comparison, but if we rely on our own power and wisdom, we will make the wrong choices.
Trying to be right with God by our own human effort will not work, we will fall.
The only way we can be free from our evil desires is through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit (see ROMANS 8:9; EPHESIANS 4:23-24; COLOSSIANS 3:3-8).
When one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18), He joins with our spirit (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17) and ”The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our spirit is located in our belly, for “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, Searching all the inward parts of the belly.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭20‬:‭27‬ ‭KJV‬‬
and ”He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.“
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV‬‬
We hear the Holy Spirit as a gut feeling, like intuition, it is a gut feeling from within our spirit that’s made perfect by the Holy Spirit, and what comes from the Holy Spirit is living water that is perfect and true.
As we serve God His Spirit manifests through our soul, which is our mind, will, and emotions, to do good works through our flesh, to heal the sick, raise the dead, cure lepers, and cast out demons (Mathew 10:8).
But should we be deceived or slip back into sin, God’s Spirit retreats from the flesh and resides quietly joined to our spirit, and brings conviction to change.
It can feel like He has condemned or abandoned us, but He will never do that; He will not break His covenant with you (JOHN 14:18).
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God knew about your faults and failures, your past and future sin before He gifted you with His holy Spirit. Therefore, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬
Therefore, through our spirit that is one with His Spirit (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), He quietly convicts repentance, “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
The word of God tells us to test the spirit, the source of a prophecy or any sermon we listen to,rather than the words spoken even if it appears to align with God’s word.
So many reject Gods words, particularly prophecy because it doesn’t sound right or make sense, but that doesn’t make it wrong. Others receive false words and doctrines because it sounds right or fits in with their previous beliefs or plans and projects.
But God is always right regardless of what man says or thinks, or how crazy the message sounds, therefore, test the spirit, the source of the teachings and messages.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one receives the gift of Spirit, a battle starts within, for the flesh is not happy to give up its lusts and dominion to the Spirit.
Therefore, make your spirit king, your soul, servant to the king, who is joined with the King of kings, and having put it’s lust to death, make your flesh slave to the king and bring it into total submission.
But do not be deceived by the flesh, for the heart being part of the flesh, works to justify and please the flesh, for ”“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?“
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, nothing good comes from the flesh.
Furthermore, the devil whispers into one’s soul, bringing confusion to cause one to believe his lies and activate emotions such as sadness, sorrow, anger, rage, fear; anything that will interfere with true discernment and open doors to him and his demons.
The demonic wants to make one’s flesh their home and steal one’s peace, joy, and bring torment; their purpose is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10); they try to manipulate and take captive the individual members of the church and deceive them into false beliefs and bring division with false prophecies and teachings (MATHEW 7:15).
If one assembles regularly with a church operating from the flesh, he gives direct access to the devil to infiltrate his mind, will, and emotions and infect them with his lies and false doctrines that shall take them further and further away from the truth, making the congregation his homes.
If allowed, sin and lies shall grow like a cancer that shall spread through the whole congregation and bring about death.
Only by the leading of the Holy Spirit can the church operate in the apostolic five fold ministry of God (EPHESIANS 4:11).
My beloved, If it’s not Christ ministry, it is not of God, it is false religion (MATHEW 7:15).
Sin is a doorway for the demonic to enter the flesh.
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬
Submit to God is to repent and turn from sin. To resist or rebuke the devil is to stand firm against his whispers, lies and temptations, and verbally command him and his demons to leave, and he will flee from you.
They may try to hide or be stubborn; they are like squatters that don’t give up their home easily, but by bringing therm before the Judge , Jesus Christ in the courts of heaven, and being persistent, they are forced out.
Having successfully evicted them, it’s important to keep them out, for Jesus said, ”“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many believers today are demonised and need of deliverance, including church leaders; some operate partly by the leading of the Spirit and part flesh, they are double minded and unstable in all their ways (JAMES 1:8) and can be a danger to the whole congregation.
If one operates by the leading of the flesh his goal will be to satisfy the lust of the flesh, such as financial gain, power and status, and nothing good nor lasting will be achieved. We see the red flags as they preach prosperity and man pleasing words of the world. They speak to the emotions of the congregation to manipulate and control.
But those who put the flesh to death and walk in the Spirit shall produce the fruits of the Spirit; ”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But to walk in the Spirit, we must first receive the Spirit.
Therefore, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (ACTS 2:37-38).
My beloved, “What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord." (ACTS 22:16).
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen.

Take Delight In The Lord, And He Will Give You Your Heart's Desires

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:27:19 GMT

Trust In The Lord & Do Good

PSALM 37:3-5
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/psa.37.3-5.nkj

v

David tells us to trust in the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. That is to say, live right and trust God with those mountains that you are facing, and at the same time, reach out to someone in need.
It means, when the Holy Spirit leads you, give to the needy, and help them using the the gifts appointed to you to help and edify others, even when you are facing all kinds of challenges yourself.
It means, love your neighbour as yourself, making others problems as important as your own. It means helping others simply because God put it on your heart to do so regardless of your own situation.
We are all individual parts of one body in Christ, who is the head, and are individually gifted to help and edify the whole body in love (1 CORINTHIANS 12); that is every individual within the body of Christ and we believers are all called to do our part (EPHESIANS 4:16).
Therefore, when instructed by the head, Jesus Christ who sees all things, reach out to those God gifted you to help. If you are led, bless them with their financial needs or food or clothing, and as Jesus said, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In other words, don’t operate in the sinful ways of the unbelievers, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit in you, and He will send those appropriately gifted to help you in your needs.
In this, the whole body shall be edified and lifted up in love and unity.
To feed of His faithfulness, is to keep reminding yourself of what Christ has done and is doing for you as an individual, and all humanity.
As you take in the extremities of what Christ is doing and has done for His people, your faith shall increase and you shall say to that mountain move and it shall move (MATHEW 17:20).
When we believers put into practice this simple instruction that really goes against our human nature; when you reach out to a brother or sister in Christ, or even a non-believer, making their needs as important as our own, God will respond by sending the right help that you need through others, gifted to meet your needs.
It is then we find ourselves reaching out to one another in love, using the spiritual gifts individually appointed to us,edifying one another (1 CORINTHIANS 12:8-10, and undoing the devil’s work that holds people captive in their situations, such as poverty or sickness, addiction or depression, and we, God’s people live safely in the land to serve our Lord and Saviour within His ministry (EPHESIANS 4:11).
Our relationships with one another will grow in loving care and we shall feel good about ourselves, for it always feels good to know we have been able to help a brother or sister in need, or draw a none-believer to Christ, and we get to bless and glorify our Father in heaven.
David continues to say, “delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
That is not the desires of your sinful past-money, status, sexual immortality, drunkenness, and things such as these. Indeed, those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God (GALATIANS 5:19-21).
But rather Godly desires of the Holy Spirit.
That can be both spiritual and physical desires.
We all like nice things, whether a nice home, car, money, status, or comforts, and God wants to give us the desires of our hearts, but not with things that shall in time cause one to fall.
He gives only what one can handle, but as one increases, so God shall increase the blessings.
His ways are always productive and produce good fruits.
Therefore, whatever God blesses us with, whether money, material blessings, or spiritual gifts, we are to use them wisely and productively for His glory.
Delight yourself in God’s presence; experience the joy and great pleasure that comes from your relationship with Christ.
Commit to His ways, trusting Him always. “For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Then you shall be successful and victorious through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
Furthermore, peace, contentment, and joy will be upon you always, even in the most challenging of circumstance, trials and tribulations.
God’s peace shall fall upon you that surpasses all understanding, and it will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:7).
My beloved, Jesus way brings peace and is the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If You Need Wisdom, Ask Our Generous God, And He Will Give It To You

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 06:54:03 GMT

Without Faith, It Is Impossible To Please God

JAMES 1:5-8
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
”‭‭James‬ ‭1:5-8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jas.1.5-8.nkj

v

Wisdom is not just knowledge, but the ability to use it to make good long-term decisions in the most difficult of circumstances.
Wisdom is having the right response to the issues of life that come daily.
We need wisdom to manage our lives successfully and be prosperous.
When we need wisdom it is wise to ask of God who gives it all liberally and without reproach, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, while we see just part of the picture, God sees the whole picture, His wisdom will bring a long-term resolve to you situation.
The wisdom we need is practical, and relates to life in the most testing times.
It is a wisdom that is not isolated from trials, challenges, and suffering. However, God’s wisdom is a tool by which our trials and challenges are overcome.
God’s wisdom is Devine and goes beyond all common sense.
Unlike common sense, God’s wisdom calls us to choose joy, even in the most difficult circumstance.
“Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But if God’s wisdom is to help us, we must believe not only in His existence, but also in His loving care, His superiority, and abilities, to make us victorious in all circumstances.
Divided loyalty will leave you unsettled as the stormy seas.
It comes down to your choice-it’s God’s way or your way. Going to and fro from God’s way to your way, will take you up and down like a yo-yo, like you have fallen into those stormy seas and you are being tossed around by the waves.
Give your troubles to God and put your trust in Him.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it comes down to faith, of which without, you can expect nothing from God.
“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command. By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭17‬-‭31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is by faith alone that we, like the harlot Rahab, shall not perish.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬, ‭3‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, without faith, we cannot please God and should not expect anything from Him. But by faith we are saved by His grace (ROMANS 10:8-13).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Let Justice Roll On Like A River

Let Your Song Be More Than A Noise

AMOS 5:18:24
“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light. It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him! Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it? “I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies. Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.
”‭‭Amos‬ ‭5:18-24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/amo.5.18-24.nkj

v

These people were calling for the day of the Lord, but they were living in darkness and their worship was fake. Their songs of praise was nothing more than a “noise”. They did not understand what they was wishing for, for these lawless people foolishly thought that they were saved, but were heading toward God’s judgement.
Many Christians today, attend church, sing praises to God, but carry on living in the same old lies and deceit; they don’t make the effort to know Christ or walk in true repentance.
Many are deceived by false religion or lack of true understanding that can only be revealed by God.
He told us through His prophet, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. “The more they increased, The more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
How can anyone sing heart felt praises to God without actually taking the time to know Him?
Jesus said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Attending church is good, but unless one takes the time to personally know Christ, He will refuse to know him or her when He returns; he or she is wasting his or her time.
Furthermore, attending man’s church rather than Christ’ will prophet you nothing.
Jesus is our creator, He created every single human being on the earth. In fact, He knew you before you was in your mothers womb (JEREMIAH 1:5).
But if you cannot make an effort to know Him, it will be too late on the day of judgement, and He will say “I never knew you.”
The only way to really know someone is through relationship, spending time together in conversation, and by involving in one another’s lives, and sharing quality time together.
God wants a personal relationship with you and as a bride is called to submit to her husband, He wants your total submission.
When your relationship is right with Him, you shall come to know Him more, truly trust Him, and love Him, and you will desire from your heart, whether alone or in gathering, to sing His praises because He is worthy of all praise.
From your heart you shall worship Him with your whole being.
Your song will more than a “noise” and your worship will be genuine and from the heart.
You have truly come to believe in Christ and make Him your Lord and Saviour.
Your relationship with Christ can only start in private conversation with God.
Therefore, make time for regular ongoing prayer, involve Him in every aspect of your life.
Make the effort to know Christ today and He will make the effort to know you and be there when you need Him.
A relationship with Christ is like marriage and needs all to be fully committed. Jesus has done His part, in fact He died for you, are you ready to do your part and live for Him?
Like many marriages of today, the church lacks intimacy; they come together once a week but their hearts are not in it.
In marriage, paul tells us, “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The same applies to our relationship with Christ.
We must, as His bride, come together regularly with Him, and every individual part of the body must participate, holding nothing back.
Intimacy with Christ, like marriage needs to be heart felt every day.
Many people can’t be bothered in their worldly marriage or their relationship with Christ. They make endless excuses why not and allow all kinds religious rules or pride to get in the way.
Whether your human marriage or in Christ, get over yourselves and get up and sing, hold nothing back, and glorify your God.
It’s either Christ church or mans church; if you are attending man’s church, your efforts are in vain.
“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be?”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭12‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Pastor is not there to control or limit, but rather a vessel to host and shepherd.
The Apostle is a vessel to plant and oversee, and the prophet is Gods vessel to speak to His people.
The teacher is a vessel of God that He can teach, and the evangelist is a vessel for God to reach out to the lost.
Neither men or women should preach and teach, and have no reason to copy others, but rather allow Christ in them to do it. “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Since Christ fulfilled all the religious Law on a cross, as Paul said , “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When saved, God’s Spirit joins with our spirit, and we become one spirit in Christ.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But God will not join with those whose heart is not right.
Water baptism alone is not enough, John the Baptist said, “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But that can only happen if you love Jesus and keep His commandments (JOHN 14:15-18).
We can only do that by putting the lust of our flesh to death and walking in the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
That is a heart felt determination to submit to the Lord.
Once saved, the Holy Spirit will manifest Himself through one’s soul, his mind, will, and emotions, “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
And out of the heart/ belly shall flow living waters (JOHN 7:38), for it is not I, but Christ in me (GALATIANS2:20).
But when we allow the flesh to drag us back into sin, the Holy Spirit shall retreat, remaining silently joined to one’s spirit, convicting repentance and change from within.
It feels like He has left us alone in the wilderness, but He never leaves us (JOHN 14:18); He will never break His covenant. “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Baptism in water is one’s public testimony of his covenant in God, and when God baptises him With His Holy Spirit and fire, He declares the covenant complete. For, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Your eternal future is sealed forever. But this can only happen through Christ ministry, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭22‬, ‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, make sure that the church you attend is preaching the right Jesus, for if it’s not Christ ministry, it shall prophet you nothing.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For The Kind Of Sorrow God Wants Us To Experience Leads Us Away From Sin And Results In Salvation

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 07:48:18 GMT

Walking In The Spirit & Deliverance

2 CORINTHIANS 7:10
“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.
“‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.7.10.NKJ

V

Repentance is more than simply being sorry.
We are all sorry when we get caught, but true is, repentance is to have deep sorrow for the effects of the victim, taking responsibility for our own behaviour and then making the decision to turn from such behaviour toward God, to submit to His will, and change one’s ways and direction, and ultimately, sin no more.
My beloved, since Jesus fulfilled the Law on a cross, “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, we believers are not able to simply change our behaviour by our own strength, sin is complicated, often driven by addiction, unclean spirits and demons, and things such as culture, fear, and false beliefs.
The truth is, we need God’s help to set us free from the lies and bondage of the enemy before we can change the way we think and walk in His righteousness.
James said, ”Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.“
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
That is to say, submit to God’s will and direction in all things and turn from all sin, rebuke the devil (verbally evict them), and they shall flee from you.
But having been set free, one must stay free by closing the doors that let them in, such as sin, generational curses that come through our ancestors, and ungodly soul ties, produced by sexual immorality, idolatry, and inappropriate relationships, and by filling the vacant rooms of the flesh with God’s furnishings, such as His Word, truth, and love. For Jesus said, ”“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
These demons if allowed, shall infiltrate our very souls, our mind, will, and emotions with sinful desires and lies. Their job is to steal, kill, and destroy your relationships, marriage, finances, and ultimately your life.
They bring temptations, sickness, disease, disabilities, mental health issues, depression, suicidal thoughts, and ultimately death, but Jesus came to give us life, and that we shall have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
Furthermore, many people are born demonised, for the demonic enter not only by our own sin, but also through the sins of our ancestors, bringing all kinds of generational curses.
My beloved, deliverance is key to a changed life and healing, but without true heart felt repentance, it cannot happen.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
These two verses give us instruction for change.
1) submit to God (Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service, the least one can do.
2) Cooperate with God (do not be conformed to the things of this world, but rather walk by God’s leading and separate from the sinful things and systems of this world, taking in His word regularly and be obedient to it. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s word is living and powerful; He actively works within doing great works, revealing the thoughts and intents of the heart.
But it can’t be active within you unless you take it in, digest it, and walk in it.
Thus, you allow God to transform you by renewing your mind; [the results] that you will be able to prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
You will come to identify what is wrong in one’s thinking and to understand His perfect will for your life.
We believers cannot meet the mark of holiness in our own strength because of our sinful nature, but the truth is, we don’t have to.
Jesus said, ”“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God sends His holy Spirit to help, lead, and guide us in all truth (JOHN 16:13).
His Spirit joins with our spirit and we become one spirit with God (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit then manifest Himself through our soul, our mind, will, and emotions, giving us the desire and the power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13), and just as Jesus told us, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his (belly) heart will flow rivers of living water.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But we must make the decision to walk in His truth and leading and put the passions of the flesh to death.
At this time a battle begins within our soul, for the flesh had dominion throughout one’s life and will not let go of its culture, sinful habits and lust without a fight.
My beloved, we can do nothing good in the flesh, particularly when influenced by the demonic.
Therefore, we must ask ourselves, who is in control, me (my spirit) or my flesh?
Is it not time to make your spirit king, your soul, servant, and your flesh slave to the king, that the King of kings can lead you in His righteousness to do good works through your flesh. To “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
While the fruits of the Spirit bring life, the lust of flesh bring death.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.“
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭22‬, ‭24‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Brothers & Sisters, Live In Harmony With Each Other. Be Of One Mind, United In Thought & Purpose

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 06:29:43 GMT

Remove All Division From The Church

“Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.1.10.NKJ

V

Paul implores the divided Corinthian church to be united-to be in the “same mind and the same judgment," speaking the same thing and avoiding factions, like following Paul, Apollos, or Cephas, grounding their unity in Christ, rather than human leaders, to come together as one harmonious body.
It's a call to put aside personal preferences and disagreements, learning how to respectfully agree to disagree by focusing on Jesus as the singular foundation for Christian fellowship, using strong language to emphasize agreement and shared purpose.
Paul writes to a church fractured by cliques, where members aligned themselves with different charismatic teachers, like Paul, Apollos, and Peter, instead of Christ.
The verse urges believers to "agree with one another" and "have no divisions," meaning they should hold the same core beliefs and express them harmoniously.
The ultimate source of unity isn't a person or a particular teaching, but Jesus Christ, who is not divided.
The phrase "same mind and same judgment" suggests alignment in spiritual understanding and goals, a state where a disjointed body (the church) is put back into proper alignment by the leading of the Holy Spirit, rather than our fleshy opinions.
Paul appeals "in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," giving the command weight and grounding it in Christ's authority, not his own.
In simple terms , Paul is essentially saying, "Stop arguing over doctrines, or who you like best, Paul, Apollos, or preachers of today.
You are all one body (church), led by One Spirit, so you need to think and speak in the same way, united under Jesus Christ.
My beloved, “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
You are not baptised in the name of online preachers, or your pastor, or teacher, but rather in the name of “Jesus Christ”, who is in you.
We can gain knowledge from study, but understanding can only come from God.
“For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, “There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭5‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
There are difference in ministries, for God purposes accordingly, but every ministry must be grounded in Christ. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, if it’s not Christ five fold ministry, it shall profit you nothing.

From East To West Praise The Name Of The Lord

Praise & Worship Invites A Move Of God

PSALM 113-1-9
“Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD! Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD’s name is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth? He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap, That He may seat him with princes— With the princes of His people. He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭113:1-9‬ ‭NKJV‬

The scope of God’s care goes beyond our understanding, and is demonstrated by His concern for the poor and oppressed.
This Psalm says it all.
In the eyes of God, a person’s value has no relationship to either his or her wealth or status, nor his or her place of birth, or his or her abilities, knowledge, or position on the social ladder.
Surely we should regularly pray a prayer of praise and thanks without asking for anything in return, just simply to voice our appreciation for His unlimited love and kindness toward us.
It doesn’t matter how many times we humans mess up, make mistakes, slip back into sin, God is ready to forgive and help us move on.
He continues to provide, protect and help us through all our troubles. Nothing is impossible for God, and whatever impossible situation one might face, it becomes possible with God (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 18:26).
He never stops working in our lives, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Whilst our praise should be from the heart without expectation, genuine heartfelt praise and worship invites a move of God (PSALM 50:23), and opens doors to deliverance and healing (JEREMIAH 17:14)
My beloved, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Make time to praise God, give Him all the glory, for He alone is worthy of all praise, not just once or twice a week in church, but every single day.
Make time for our God and He will make time for you.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Better To Have Little With Fear Of The Lord Than To Have Great Tressure And Inner Turmoil

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 06:49:05 GMT

Take Your Thoughts Captive

PROVERBS 15:15-19
“All the days of the afflicted are evil, But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred. A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention. The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭15‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬

‬

We cannot always choose what happens to us, but we can choose our attitude toward each situation.
Paul tells us the secret to a happy heart is to fix our thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right , and pure, and lovely, and admirable. He says, “Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise (PHILIPPIANS 4:8).”
This was Paul’s secret to remain positive and joyful as he suffered persecution, imprisonment and every trial and challenge he faced.
His consistent joyful attitude, gave him peace of mind and brought many of his persecutors to Christ.
His secret to contentment and peace of mind can be yours too, to help you as you face the struggles of daily living.
Examine your attitudes and then look at what you allow to enter your mind and the things you choose to dwell on.
Particularly the content of books, films, and of the media. The devil uses them to infiltrate one’s mind with his lies.
You may well find a real need for change, to give up worldly music and films and such as these, as to not be conformed to the things of this world, but rather be transformed by the renewing of the mind, that you become to understand what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
The path of the upright is not always the easiest path (15:19), but look at the alternatives, hatred (15:17), dissension (15:18), and laziness (15:19) that bring problems that the upright person never have to face.
By comparison, his or her life is a smooth level road because it is built on the solid foundation of God’s love.
The devil is a liar (JOHN 8:44), and he is quick to speak into your emotions with little whispers that add fuel to the fire you are in.
He operates like the fake news media today, attacking one’s emotions, pushing his lies that bring emotional blackmail, fear, anger, rage or justification of sin.
Therefore, what ever the situation, take these thoughts captive and bring them to the obedience of Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 10:5).
Give it all to Christ and trust Him for the ultimate outcome, “And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, whatever the storm, like Peter, you can rise above it and place it under your feet; and even if it gets too overwhelming, Jesus is right there at arms length to take your hand and lead you to safety, and then ultimately calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
My beloved, whatever testing you face, whatever the devil brings your way, God is merciful. For “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is important to understand that our troubles and testings come with purpose that ultimately build our faith and change the way we think and deal with the issues of life. Nothing the devil throws at us is more than we can stand.
James said, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, my beloved, give thanks to the Lord, for He is doing a wonderful work within you, “being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasure with trouble. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, Than a fatted calf with hatred. A wrathful man stirs up strife, But he who is slow to anger allays contention. The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns, But the way of the upright is a highway.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭15‬:‭16‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Finally my brethren, I give you the good advice of the apostle Paul. “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Do Not Be Conformed To This World, But Be Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 05:49:47 GMT

Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice

ROMANS 12:1-2
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/rom.12.1-2.nkj

v

God wants us to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to Him; to serve in holiness, and deny one’s self, pick up his own cross and follow Jesus (MATHEW 16:24-26; LUKE 9:23).
That is to say, rather than chasing one’s own plans, goals, and the lust of the flesh, one must commit his or her life to serving God, even at great cost, in obedience to His word, for this is the least one can do.
“For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Do not be conformed to this world is to say, don’t join unbelievers in the sinful ways of the world.
We are called to live peacefully in this world in obedience as far as we can, to the laws of the land, but must separate from its sinful ways.
Jesus paid a high price to pay the debt we accrued for our sin, both past, present, and future, but that doesn’t mean we can continue to live and operate in it.
We must repent, that is to turn from sin and seek God’s righteousness and walk in it.
As committed mature Christians, repentance should not be because we deliberately sinned, but rather, just in case we made a mistake.
Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6:17-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is when one makes every effort to be right with God, that He will start the work of not just fixing or repairing, but renewing and transforming one into the likeness of Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 3:18), and he shall come to understand what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
That is to hear God’s voice, His instructions, and discern His perfect plan for one’s life and eternal future.
He told us through the profit Jeremiah that He has a wonderful future planned for His people, “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬
God has the perfect plan for your life, and you cannot better it. He knows you better than you know yourself in the finest detail to the number if hairs on one’s head. Furthermore, His love for His people is above all the creatures of the earth. He individually created all people before they was in their mothers womb (JEREMIAH 1:4-5) and has the perfect plan for each of us.
Furthermore, He gifted us individually to serve Him within the body of Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 12:12-31), to operate within the whole body (the church) through the five fold ministry of Christ, of which all God’s people fall into at least one of the five categories of Apostles, Prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelist (EPHESIANS 4:11).
Church was never meant to operate by the leading of one Pastor, vicar, or minister, but rather through the whole body by the leading of Jesus Christ, the head (EPHESIANS 4:15).
The truth is, no one can live right with God without the indwelling Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and help us as we walk in His righteousness (JOHN 14:15-18; JOHN 16:13).
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ NKJV
We believers are not to led by man, but rather the Spirit. Furthermore, the foot isn’t instructed by the eye, nor hand by the arm. But all the parts of the body are individually taught and instructed by the head.
“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Apostle is to birth and oversee, the Prophet is tell us what’s coming-God always tells of His plans before He acts (AMOS 3:7-8); the teacher is to teach, the Pastor is to host and shepherd, and the evangelist is to reach out to the lost, and all are to operate as one body by the leading of the Holy Spirit of which Christ is the head.
That is the apostolic ministry of Jesus Christ who works not just through the so called “church leaders”, but through the whole body like a well oiled machine, “For each one shall bear his own load.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
So rather than reject, submit to His will, take your position within the body, and using the God given gifts, serve our Lord and Master to the full.
Romans 12:1-2, gives us the simple steps to not only be transformed into a new person in the likeness of Christ, but also to come to understand what is acceptable and perfect will of God in our individual lives.
Total submission shall take us to the place where one can literally put on the very nature of Christ and fully operate in His power to share the Gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give (MATHEW 10:8).
In deed, Jesus said, ”“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV
My beloved, as I told you before, “”Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus died for you, are you ready to live for Him?
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If You Hang On To Your Life, You Will Lose It. But If You Give Up Your Life For My Sake, You Will Save It

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 05:58:02 GMT

Living For Christ Is Great Gain

MARK 8:34-38
“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
”‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:34-38‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mrk.8.34-38.NKJ

V

Are you ready to take up your cross and follow Jesus? The Romans, Mark's original audience, knew exactly what taking up the cross meant.
Death on the cross was a form of execution used by Rome for the most dangerous violent criminals, the worst of all criminals.
The prisoner carried his own cross to the place of execution, signifying submission to Rome's power.
Jesus used this image of carrying a cross to illustrate the ultimate submission required by His followers.
He wasn't saying we should seek pain needlessly, or that He was against pleasure. He was talking about the heroic effort needed to follow Him moment by moment, even in difficult times; even if it means suffering for Christ and the future looks bleak.
Paul wrote in PHILIPPIANS 2:21: "For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.
Like Paul, we should be willing to lose our life for the sake of the Good News, not because our life is worthless or useless, but because nothing, not even life itself can compare to what we gain in Christ.
Jesus wants us to choose to follow Him rather than lead a life to accumulate worldly treasures and self-satisfaction. He wants us to allow Him to direct us and stop trying to control our own destiny.
This makes good sense because as the Creator, Christ knows better than us what real life is about.
He asks for submission, not self-hatred, He asks that we lose our self-centered determination to be in charge.
Many people spend their time and energy seeking pleasure. But Jesus said “worldliness”, which is centered on possessions, position, and power, “is ultimately worthless”.
Everything we have on earth is temporary, including lifestyle, for nothing is more valuable than your soul.
If you work hard at getting what you want, you might eventually have a "pleasurable" life, a nice car, home, maybe a yacht or great riches and extreme status, but in the end, without Christ, it is all temporary and you will find it hollow and empty, and at best, temporary.
We come into this earth naked and empty handed and we shall leave the same-“As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, Jesus said, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:34-36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Are you willing to make the pursuit of God more important than self pursuits?
Are you willing to put down your goals and exchange them for service to God?
It is not always easy to follow Jesus, many suffer persecution, pain and hardship for their faith. But Jesus gives us a choice; a choice that brings a future and a hope, and the reality of a wonderful future that will not be spoiled (JEREMIAH 29:11).
Jesus constantly turns the world's perspective upside down with talk of the first and last, saving or losing. But we can reject Jesus now and be rejected by Him when He returns, or we can accept Him now and be accepted by Him forever.
Rejecting Christ now, may slow the persecution, the trials and challenges and hatred that we suffer now, but acceptance brings a wonderful joy in living in Christ every day, His peace that surpasses all understanding that shall guard your hearts and minds (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7), and the wonderful prospect of a future of eternal life in paradise with our creator God forever (REVELATION 21:3-4).
Our life in Christ is a truly wonderful gift from God. A gift that cannot be purchased or gained by any kind of money or works, and God wants to use you to share your gift to others, that they too have the opportunity of life everlasting.
Jesus is commanding us believers of today, as He did “These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food. “Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. And when you go into a household, greet it. If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

You Will Seek Me And Find Me When You Seek Me With All Your Heart

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 07:22:33 GMT

Do Not Be Deceived

We are all encouraged by a leader who stirs us to move ahead, someone who empowers us and believes we can do the task given and who will be with us all the way.
Our God is that kind of leader, He knows the future, and His plans for us are good and full of hope.
He provides our agendas and goes with us all the way. That doesn't mean we won't struggle, or suffer, or experience hardships, but God will see us through to a glorious conclusion.
God did not forget His people, even though they were captives in Babylon. It was His plan to give them a new beginning with purpose-to turn them into new people.
At times it feels like God has forgotten us as we struggle through our trials and challenges, especially now in these days of darkness, when our governments seem to be nothing more than dictators. But truly He is preparing us-you, as He did the people of Judah, for a new beginning with Him in the centre.
God's plan was to give His people hope and a good future; consequently, they could call upon His name in confidence.
Today is no different; even though our governments, even here in the UK, and others all around the world are holding the people captive to their controls and dictatorship, you can call upon the name of the Lord and He will hear you, strengthen you, and take good care of you.
Although the exiles were in a difficult place and time, they did not despair because they had God's presence, the privilege of prayer, and God's love and grace.
If we seek Him wholeheartedly, He will be found. Neither a far or strange land, sorrow, persecution, nor physical problems can break our fellowship with God.
Job experienced many trials and challenges, because God allowed Satan to test Him.
Since we are saved by faith, just as Satan wanted to destroy Job's faith to prise him from God's hands, so he plans the same for you and me today.
But God uses those severe test, to build and strengthen you as he did Job.
Every time your faith is tested, it is because God allowed it to strengthen and prepare you for something bigger.
it's Satan's plan to destroy your faith, and tempt you into sin, but God uses your trials to expose your weaknesses and strengthen your character and faith in Jesus Christ our Saviour, that you can endure to the end (see MATHEW 24:9-14).
Peter denied Christ three times, as in MATHEW 26:34-75, But Jesus knew of Peters failure before he sinned; he predicted Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crows, but Jesus knew Peter would repent, and arranged to meet Him after his resurrection.
Sometimes, like Peter we will mess up, either through fear or deception, but God is merciful and you are truly safe in His hands. “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4:7-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers must face these trials, and learn from them, that God can finish the good work He started within us to completion when Jesus Christ returns (PHILIPPIANS 1"6).
Many are waking up to the truth of the evil agendas of this world.
Today’s vaccines are not the “mark of the beast (see REVELATION 13:15-18) as some believe, but truly I tell you, the invisible enemy, the fear mongering, the jabs, and restrictions that were placed on our daily lives, came to deceive and prepare us; to bewitch the people (GALATIANS 3:1) to take the future mark of the beast.
These demonic actions of our governments continue today as they crush our financial and healthcare systems, and systematically take away our freedom of speech and basic rights.
Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.””
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Wake up and God will shine His light on the truth, and the darkness shall not comprehend it (JOHN 1:5).
Trust God’s plan, for it is for your good, not disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
In deed, we can see His works as He is removing the powers of the British Empire that controlled the world financial systems through wars, lies, and deception for many years, stealing from the people with projects of false claims, like global heating, cooling, and because they are proven lies, they now claim global change.
Wake up my beloved, and give it all to God.
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ””
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it is time to repent of our sins and stand for truth and righteousness.
“Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our God will step in and remove the corrupt governments from our land and fight for us.
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As we head toward the coming return of Jesus Christ, the evil deeds of the corrupt will intensify, God’s people shall become a hated peoples, and some killed for their faith. But we who are fixed in Christ shall be safe in His hands (ROMANS 8:31-39).
Furthermore, revival is imminent-indeed it has started because God is fighting for us and reaching out to the lost as a last call.
God went on to say through His prophet, “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭20‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All these things are systematically coming to pass, but taking a step back, we must take on board what Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭4‬-‭7‬, ‭9‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Be ready my beloved, for the end is just around the corner.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Love Does No Wrong To A Neighbor; Therefore Love Is The Fulfilment Of The Law

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 07:41:06 GMT

Make No Provision For The Flesh

ROMANS 13:10-14
“Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:10-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.10-14.NKJ

V

We believers must obey the law of love, which supersedes both religious and civil laws.
It's easy to excuse our indifferences to others because we have no human legal obligation to help them, and often, justify harming them if our actions are technically legal.
Jesus left no loopholes in the law of love.
Whenever loves demands it, we are to go beyond all human legal requirements and imitate the God of love (see JAMES 2:8; 9:4-11 and 1 PETER 2:16-17).
Love harms no neighbour, not in your street, village, town or city, or overseas, and therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.
The "night" in the past referred to the present time, but the present time of living is now in day break. The "day" refers to the time of Christ return.
People wake up! The day of the Lord is fast approaching. Mark 13:8, tells us, nation will rise against nation, this was beginning of the end, and refers to the first world war which started in 1914, and by no means will this generation pass before the end shall come (MARK 13:30).
Mark 13:8-30, tells us many of the signs of the end.
The truth is, there will be some people who lived through the war of 1914, and will still be living when Jesus Christ returns.
Their has never been such a time as this; a time when all we need do is look and see the works of the devil as he prepares the people to receive his mark.
Never before could we see how the devil would be able to restrict trade to his people, that only those who received the mark could buy and sell (REVELATION 13:15-18), but we know those who willingly receive the mark are destined to hell.
Today, we can see how our corrupted leaders are breaking our financial systems and putting in place cashless systems; we see democracy falling away as the devil takes us toward the cashless society of Revelation 13. ”He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭16‬-‭18‬NKJV
Today, we can see how the devil has successfully infiltrated the minds of the masses to accept the restrictions and mandates that are being poured out in this world.
My brethren, it’s all but over; the end is just around the corner. Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:4-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
However, whilst the devil pours out more and more evil on this world, God is dismantling mans old church and is establishing His body of people for such a time as this. ”And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, we can see the suffering in this world, the rising persecution that is being placed on God’s people and it is getting worse. But I encourage you to stand firm in your faith and focus on the prize. “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭18‬-‭30‬ ‭NKJV
My beloved, wake up to the lies and deceit in this wicked world. Be ready! Put your immoral lives behind you and be ready for the return of Jesus Christ.
Some are surprised that Paul list fighting and jealousy with the gross and obvious sins of drunkenness and immortality. Like Jesus in His Sermon on the Mount (MATHEW 5:-7), Paul considers attitudes as important as actions.
Just as hatred leads to murder, so jealousy leads to strife and lust leads to sexual immorality and adultery, surely we must put such things behind us and clothe ourselves with the presence of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, make no provision for the flesh; put it's lust to death.
As the Lord spoke to Solomon, He is calling out to His people, ”if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.“
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But how do we clothe ourselves with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ?
First, we identify with Christ through relationship with Him, and by being correctly baptized (GALATIANS 3:27).
This shows solidarity with Him, other Christians, and with the death, burial, and the resurrection of Christ.
Then we exemplify the qualities Jesus showed while He was here on earth: Love, humility, truth, and service.
In a way, we role-play what Jesus would do in our situation (see EPHESIANS 4:24-32; COLOSSIANS 3 10-17).
Furthermore, we must open our hearts to the apostolic ministry of Christ and submit to His will, operating in the God given spiritual gifts He afforded His people. ”There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, as we walk with God in this dark world, we must avoid those situations that open the door to gratifying our sinful desires.
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Truly, I Say To You, Whoever Hears My Word And Believes Him Who Sent Me Has Eternal Life

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 06:46:56 GMT

Only Jesus!

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 ‭5:24‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jhn.5.24.nkj

v

These words of Jesus Christ are an encouragement for all believers and a magnet to all others.
Eternal life begins the very moment you accept Him as your Saviour. In that very moment your new life begins (2 CORINTHIANS 5:17).
You may face physical death, but you have confidence through Christ resurrection, that when He returns, your body will be resurrected and you shall live forever (1 CORINTHIANS 15).
One cannot earn or purchase his or her new life in Christ. No amount of money or status can help you.
No other person, pastor, or god, or action can save you from the debt of sin. No other person or god can authorise your new life in Christ.
Jesus is the ultimate judge and He shall return to judge the world. There’s no right to appeal, when it’s done, it’s done! Your eternal future is set!
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Only through Christ can one be saved.
And it is this simple, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus does not want you to struggle, facing the same old troubles day after day. He came to give you abundant life (10:10); “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭8:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This is not a promise of financial abundance, but God will provide all your needs. Nor is it a promise you that you shall be free from trouble.
However, He is happy to provide all your needs and give you His peace that will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
All you need do is ask and believe and His joy will be added to you, which is your strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
Truly I tell you, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is more than a multi-millionaire.
“”Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Tragedy Of The Wicked, And The Blessedness Of Trust In God

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 06:14:16 GMT

Strength Of My Heart

PSALM 73:23-26
“Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭73:23-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/psa.73.23-26.nkj

v

In this psalm of Asaph, he declares his confidence in God’s continuous presence and guidance.
God knew us before we was in our mothers womb (JEREMIAH 1:5), and just ad He chose Jeremiah, He chose you my brothers and sisters in Christ.
Jesus said, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
From the day we are born, we are in God’s Mighty hands, and He will never fail us. He will guide us according to His plans and purposes, and no person living, nor power of hell except you, nor or any situation can stop His plan for your life.
There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, as Christians, we have the hope of the resurrection.
Our courage and strength may fail at times, but we have the confident hope that the day is coming when every power of hell shall be completely shut down and we will be raised to life to freely serve God forever.
Jesus is our eternal security, and like Asaph, we must cling to Him, He is the strength of our hearts-“the strength of your heart, and your portion forever.”
My beloved, speak this psalm over yourself and remind yourself the tragedy of the wicked, and the blessedness of trust in God.
“Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped. For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment. Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish. They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth. Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them. And they say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?” Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches. Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence. For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning. If I had said, “I will speak thus,” Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children. When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me— Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image. Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind. I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You. Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand. You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭73‬:‭1‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

My Command Is This; Love Each Other As I Have Loved You

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 06:18:54 GMT

Love Is Kind

JOHN 15:12-13
“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
”‭‭John‬ ‭15:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jhn.15.12-13.nkj

v

Jesus said, “we are to love one another as He loved us,” and He laid down His life for us that we may live.
Yes, Jesus gave up His life that every single one of us would have opportunity to be saved from the consequences of sin.
Truly, as the Scriptures say, Greater love has no more than this, than to lay down one’s life for a friend.
We, my brothers and sisters in Christ, are to love one another with this sacrificial love that Christ has for us.
God’s love is far more than words or a feeling; God’s love is an action and it comes with a cost.
The truth is, God is the source of our love. “And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. We love each other because he loved us first.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:17-19‬ ‭NLT‬‬
We may not have to die for someone; indeed, Christ died for us all. But there are other ways to practice sacrificial love: Listening, caring, helping, and giving. Make others troubles as important as one’s own and take the appropriate action to help.
Not to boast or put yourself on a pedestal. But for the glory of God.
Love doesn’t gossip nor cause offence; it does not make false accusation, manipulate, reject, abandon, nor rejoice in the downfall of others.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬
If only we could all obey these commandments of Jesus, this world would soon become a better place to live.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am Sure That What We Are Suffering Now Cannot Compare With The Glory That Will Be Shown To Us

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 05:47:20 GMT

Hang On To The Promise

ROMANS 8:18-25
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18-25‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.8.18-25.NKJ

V

We Spirit filled believers see the world as it is, physically decaying and spiritually infected with sin. Never before has there been such a time as this. Manufactured pestilence, damaging vaccines, restrictions, and unreasonable controls placed upon the people.
We see terrorism and instability world wide.
The world financial systems are collapsing, businesses are closing, and poverty is rising.
We see fear hovering the world and many are falling under the weight of depression and suicide.
Sin has caused all creation to fall from the perfect state in which God created it.
The world is in bondage to death and decay and cannot fulfill its intended purpose.
But we believers do not need to be pessimistic because we have the confident hope of God’s future glory, that one day all creation will be liberated and transformed. Until that time we wait in eager expectation for the resurrection of God's children knowing that no testings will be more than we can stand (1 CORINTHIANS 10:13).
We can look forward to a new heaven and earth that God has promised, and the new order that will free the world from sin, sickness, and all evil, and death shall be no more (REVELATION 21:3-4).
Meanwhile, we believers can go with Christ into the world, healing people's bodies and souls, brining true deliverance from the chains of the devil as we fight the evil effects of sin in this world today (MATHEW 10:8).
It is true that we are to see a rise in the evil demonic powers that hold this world in bondage, but even more, we shall all become witness to God’s power and glory as He reaches out to His chosen people in truth and justice as we approach the glorious coming day of the Lord.
The day is approaching when God’s people shall be resurrected with glorified bodies like the body Christ now as in heaven (see 1 CORINTHIANS 15:25-58).
We have the first installment, the foretaste or down payment of future glory, the Holy Spirit, as a guarantee of our resurrection life (see 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22; 5:5; EPHESIANS 1:14).
My brethren, children naturally trust their parents, even though parents sometimes fail to keep their promises. But our Heavenly Father never makes promises that He cannot or will not keep.
However His plan may take more time than we expect. The truth is, it is going to get even more uncomfortable, but we can be sure of the ultimate victory we all have in Christ. We can be sure regardless of what is happening in this broken world of today, of a wonderful new heaven and earth, and our new bodies, rest and rewards, our eternal family and home, the absence of sin and suffering, and being forever face to face with Jesus!
Now that's a future well worth waiting for.
But rather than acting like impatient children, be calm and obedient, as we wait for God's will to unfold.
We believers need to work with the Lord according to His plans and purposes rather than ours, and to be patient and have confidence in God's perfect timing.
In the book of Romans, Paul presents the idea that salvation is past, present, and future. It is past because we were saved the very moment that we believed in Jesus Christ as our Saviour (3:21-26; 5:1-11; 6:1-11,22-23).
Our new eternal life begins in that very moment.
It is present because we are being systematically saved; this is the process of sanctification. But we have not yet fully received all the benefits and blessings of salvation that will be ours when Christ’ new Kingdom is completely established. That is our future salvation.
While we can be confident of our salvation, we still look ahead with hope and trust toward that complete change of body and personality that lies beyond this life, when we will be like Christ.
“Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭3:2-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

A Generous Person Will Prosper; Whoever Refreshes Others Will Be Refreshed

Be A Cheerful Giver

PROVERBS 11:24-25
“There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.

These two verses go against our natural inclinations; they present a paradox that we become more wealthy by being generous.
Our natural inclination is to hold on to as much as one can, but the truth is, God blesses those who freely give of their time, money, and possessions.
When we give regularly in God’s wisdom, He will give us even more so we can give even more. Like a snow ball, it will grow bigger and bigger.
Furthermore, giving helps us to gain a right perspective on our possessions; we come to realise that they were never really ours to begin with-all we have is of God’s grace, and much has been given to us to serve God and help others.
By giving, we gain freedom from enslavement to our possessions and experience the joy of helping others in need.
But when we give, we must do so by the leading of the Holy Spirit without expectation of something in return. Therefore, when you are led to give, do it in secret. Jesus said, ““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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To give carelessly is foolish and will drag one into poverty.
Sadly, many deceivers are very good at pouring out emotional blackmail, even using Scripture or false prophecy to twist one’s hand into giving.
That can include some Pastors and church leaders preaching a false prosperity Jesus.
Some people are simply lazy to work and earn an honest living. They learn to live off of the backs of the generous.
We are not called to the lazy, but rather the needy. “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat (2 THESSALONIANS 3:10), and that my beloved, applys to our children.
Therefore, while being ready to give by the leading of the Holy Spirit, to even your last penny at the instruction of God, don’t be foolish.
Before giving to your church or a charitable organisation, or anyone in need, ask God for His approval before emptying your pockets.
It is God’s choice who gives to who, even when someone is genuinely pleading for help out of desperation.
To give outside the leading of the Holy Spirit can undermine God’s work and break your own finances.
Jesus is the head, and we are the body. It is the head that instructs all the members of the body, not the emotions of your flesh, nor the pastor or church leaders.
If God cannot trust you with small, He will not trust you with more.
My beloved, we humans naturally desire prosperity and riches, but God is not going to give us that what we can’t handle.
“If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them. Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field. He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver; Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity. When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes? The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep. There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind? All his days he also eats in darkness, And he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, don’t seek riches or fame, but rather be satisfied with your lot, for God knows all your needs and will increase accordingly when your trust is in Him.
““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Some are blessed with riches and others not, “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Careful Words Make For A Careful Life; Careless Talk May Ruin Everything

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 06:13:55 GMT

In Everything you say and do, do It Out Of Love

PROVERBS 13:3-6
“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.13.3-6.NKJ

V

You cannot master self-control if you cant control your tongue. Your words can do so much damage, they can cut and destroy peoples lives.
James recognised this truth when he told us, “the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3:6-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you want self-control, start with your tongue. But don’t expect to be able to control it in your own power. My beloved, you need God’s help and leadership to tame your tongue.
Stop and think before you react or speak, for what you say will have a lasting effect, good or evil, for, “A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬
Therefore, choose your words carefully.
“So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved, our words shall either bless or curse.
Discipline is important, but it must be brought out of love.
Furthermore, every word that comes from our mouth must edify, not humiliate; it must bring truth, not lies, and bring conviction, not condemnation and shame.
Therefore, there is no place for hate speech or gossip within the body of Christ.

One wrong word, even though one can apologise, cannot be un-said and can ruin everything.

Don't be a lazy Christian, work hard in everything you do as if working for the Lord (COLOSSIANS 3:23-24). The truth is, those who work hard will prosper.
Do not put off until tomorrow that what you can do today, and everything we do must be in truth.
We believers must always be truthful, whatever situation; lies bring you into agreement with the devil-he is the father of all lies.
Whenever you lie, even when it seems justified, or when calling it harmless or a little white lie," or saying, "I lied to protect them," or "to keep the peace," you are joining with the devil; indeed you open doors that allow the devil’s into your life.
There is no such thing as a little white lie. Every lie comes from the pits of hell and will never achieve anything good.
My brethren, ““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus leads in all truth, but Satan is liar. The two cannot be in union with each other.
Living blamelessly, safeguards your life.
Every choice for good sets into motion other opportunities for good. Evil choices follow the same pattern, but in the opposite direction.
Each decision you make to obey God's Word will bring a greater sense of order to your life, while each decision to disobey will bring confusion and destruction.
The right choices you make reflect your integrity.
Obedience brings the greatest safeguard and security, but we must all be mindful that every action both good and evil will bring consequences.
My beloved, God is love and is the foundation of His way of life.
It is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy and all the Laws and the prophets hang on the commands to love (MATHEW 22:37-40).
Therefore, whatever you say or do, say it and do it out of love, giving consideration to Paul’s words.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Says, "These People Come To Me With Their Mouth And Honor Me With Their Lips, But Their Hearts Are Far From Me

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 06:36:16 GMT

Lip Service Is Not Enough

ISAIAH 29:13-15
“Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, And their works are in the dark; They say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?”
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:13-15‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.29.13-14.NKJ

V

The people claimed to be close to God, but they were far from Him. Whilst praising Him with their lips, they was disobedient and merely went through the motions.
Therefore, God would bring judgment upon them. Religion had become routine instead of real.
Jesus quoted Isaiah's condemnation of Israel 's hypocrisy when he spoke to the Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day (MATHEW 15:7-9; MARK 7:6-7).
We are all capable of hypocrisy. Often slipping into routine patterns when we worship, and neglect to give our God our full love and devotion.
If we want to be called God's people, we must act like His people, being obedient to His Word, putting into practice everything we have learned from him (PHILIPPIANS 4:9; JOHN 13:17).
We must walk in love, not gossip and offence.
He deserves more than just lip service.
We must live as citizens of God, every day, not just on Sunday in church or when on show.
Many today, even those in church, including the so called leadership, like the people of Jerusalem, think that God can’t see their evil deeds and that He doesn’t know what is happening.
They continue to attempt to hide their evil schemes of power, manipulation, and control, but nothing gets past God; truly I tell you, justice is coming.
Whether church leaders, governments, the elites, God knows the truth and He is bringing exposure and justice from the most powerful to the lowest.
Justice is coming for both the evil and good deeds of all people.
Even now, this is not judgement, but rather the attempt to bring the people to repentance.
Whether the agendas of wars, taxes, vaccines, or anything else, both exposure and justice is coming.
“Therefore do not fear the corrupt, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It seems strange to me that so many people think they can hide from God.
In PSALM 139 we learn that God has examined us and knows everything about us; the truth is no one can hide anything from God, He see's absolutely everything you and I not only do, but think.
He see the inner desires and schemes of our hearts.
We cannot continue in this life of sin and expect it to be good; we must be willing to change.
We cannot continue in our old sinful selves-we believers are born again-the old has supposed to be gone; we are a new creation in Christ Jesus.
Now we must act like it, putting into practice everything we have learned, not just some of the time, but all of the time.
Then we will experience the desired change, and God’s peace that surpasses all understanding will come upon us and guard our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
Our world today is becoming darker and darker as we head towards the great and awesome day of the Lord (MATHEW 24:29-44. But God is calling out to His people, saying, ““Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Love The Lord Your God With All Your Heart And With All Your Soul, And With All Your Mind

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 07:13:59 GMT

A Duty Of Care

MATHEW 22:34-40
“But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭34‬-‭40‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.34-40.NKJ

V

Jesus, answered the question that the Sadducees had always used to trap the Pharisees and silenced them. But the Pharisees were too proud to be impressed, and was more interested in defeating Jesus than learning the truth.
The demonic hasn’t changed their evil schemes, and using people and circumstance, they will try to trick us into falling into sin by bringing false statements, beliefs, and even cause us to blaspheme our God, to give them a foothold in our lives.
The devil is a deceiver (REVELATION 12:9), and distorted knowledge shall profit you nothing. Furthermore, Hosea said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you live a lie you are rejecting the truth.
In general, knowledge comes from study, but understanding and revelation comes only from the Lord.
Furthermore, these demonic beings repeatedly use the same tactics to bring division into the church.
Some making statements that cause argument such as “woman can’t be leaders”, “God’s Spirit filled people cannot be demonised”, and once saved always saved.
These posts are not always about discussion, but rather sourced by the demonic to bring division.
Therefore, whatever is being prophesied or taught, test and approve by testing the spirits (1 JOHN 4:1-5), the source of the statement, and learn to respectfully agree to disagree.
If the source is of the Holy Spirit, it will be true, if not, disregard it.
The Pharisees, who had classified over 600 laws, often tried to distinguish which one was the most important. So one of them, an expert in religious law, asked Jesus to identify the most important law.
Jesus quoted from DEUTERONOMY 6:5 and LEVITICUS 19:18, saying, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
People often confuse love with lust; God’s kind of love is more than words or a feeling, it is a choice and a duty of care toward others.
Jesus said, love your neighbor as yourself; that is to say, we believers must care for others as we care about ourselves.
When someone is in need and unable to help themselves, we believers have a duty of care toward that person that comes from God.
Whether love is for God or others, it is a love that is unconditional and without the expectation of anything in return.
This kind of love only comes from God; “We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To love God or others is a choice of care and service without agendas or expectation of any kind of payment.
That is not to say we shouldn’t expect Gods provision, for He is faithful to provide all our needs.
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By fulfilling these two great commands of love, a person keeps all the others Commandments.
They summarize the Ten Commandments and the other Old Testament moral laws.
Jesus said, that if we truly love God and our neighbour, we will naturally keep the commandments.
Love is the very foundation of God's way of life.
If only more people would put these two great commandments of love into practice, this world would soon become a better place to live.
As a Christian, you may keep all of God's laws; you may give to the needy, and do good things throughout your life, but if your works and good deeds come from selfish ambitions, to look good, gain status, receive payment, or even to purchase salvation, rather than from love, all these things are useless.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Love is a choice and an action of care for our neighbours, not just in our street, village, or surrounding cities, but throughout the nations all around the world, and must extend to even our enemies (MATHEW 5:43-44).
Jesus came to save; that was a choice and an action that came from His unfailing love regardless of our sin (JOHN 3:16).
He hated the sin, but loves the sinner, and it is His example we believers are called to follow.
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen.

Don't Do Your Good Deeds Publicly, To be Admired By Others, For You Will Lose The Reward From Your Father In heaven

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 07:51:52 GMT

Keep Your Yourself God Focused

MATHEW 6:1-4
“”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.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.6.1-4.NKJ

V

The term hypocrites used here, describes people who do good deeds for the wrong reasons; not out of compassion or other good motives, but for personal gain and appearances, blowing their own trumpet.
Their actions may seem good, but their motives are hollow.
These acts bring fruitless temporary reward, and the truth is, it is the only reward they will ever get.
To not allow your left hand know what your right hand is doing is not an excuse to hide your sin and selfish agendas, but rather to protect you from falling into self.
But God, who sees all things, will reward those accordingly, for all our actions both good and evil, come with consequences.
When Jesus says, don't tell your left hand what your right hand is doing, He is teaching that our motives for giving to God and others must be pure.
It's easy to give with mixed motives; to do something for someone if it will benefit us in return, but to give when it causes us to suffer is quite different.
But we believers should avoid all scheming and give out of love, as a response to the Father’s love on us.
It's easier to do what is right when we gain recognition and praise, but to be sure our motives are not selfish, we should do our good deeds quietly or in secret, with no thought of reward.
Jesus says we should check our motives in three areas; generosity (6:4); prayer (6:6), and fasting(6:18.
Those acts should not be self-centered, but rather God centered, done not to make us look good, but to please God and make Him look good.
The reward God promises are not always material, but you can be sure, that the blessings are piling up in heaven (MATHEW 6:19-21).
Doing something only to put ourselves on a pedestal, or to give us status, power, or money, is not a loving sacrifice.
Their are many suffering people, orphans, widows, sick and disabled, and people caught up in all kinds of addiction, or in poor health, and many held by curses and all kinds of evils, and we believers need to do our bit to help them find a way forward.
Love and prayer is our number one weapon to break the cycle of despair of the needy. But they have to cooperate and desire change; we cannot change people, only God can do that.
We can give them love, comfort, and encouragement, money for a meal or a place of temporary refuge, but we cannot continually subsidise their living.
If people are not cooperative or reject the help you offer, move on to those who are willing.
Jesus said to “These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But whatever your deeds, do it out of love without agenda or expectation, and do it only by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
To give to your church or the needy, or even your family and loved ones out of emotions, is not only foolish, but may even undermine God’s work in them.
We believers are not a “meal ticket” for the lazy (2 THESSALONIANS 3:10), nor are we responsible for those who won’t help themselves.
Furthermore, while we are responsible to give to the church, we are not called to fund every project the pastor brings, though the devil would have you believe you are.
Giving comes from God’s directive as he sends the right help through the right people at the right time.
But for certain, a fool and his money is quickly parted.
Therefore be wise, give only by the leading of the Holy Spirit, for “The thief has come to steal, and to kill, and destroy (JOHN 10:10), and you are his prey. Don’t be deceived or caught up by his evil schemes (1 PETER 5:8-10).
My beloved, keep your agendas God focused, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.“
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

With Him At My Right Hand, I Will Not Be Shaken

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 06:15:43 GMT

Do Not Be Complacent

PSALM 16:7-8
“I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.16.7-8.NKJ

V

It's our foolish nature that leads us to make our own plans and then ask God to bless them.
But shouldn't we believers seek God's will first, and use His will as the center of our plans?
By constantly thinking about the Lord and His way of living, we will gain insight that will help us to make the right decisions and live our lives the way God desires.
Communicating with God by regular prayer, worship, and by studying His Word allows Him to counsel us, teach us, and give us wisdom.
David said, "He will not be shaken," he was talking about the unique sense of security felt by believers.
God does not exempt believers from the day to day trials, challenges, and circumstances of life.
Believers and unbelievers alike experience pain, trouble, and failure at times (MATHEW 5:45), but God uses these things for good.
Believers, unlike unbelievers, have a sense of hope, true purpose, and a wonderful future, regardless of the troubles they face in this life. Not temporarily as of the things of this world, but eternally in truth.
Those who seek God can move ahead, confident in knowing what is right in God's eyes, that He is in control, and He will keep them from straying off His chosen path. But even though we can truly trust God, we must not allow ourselves to become complacent or deceived in these last days as many shall fall away from the truth.
“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many are in expectation of the imminent Lord’s return; but despite the troubles of this world, the anti-Christ will be revealed and many will fall away from the truth before the second coming of Christ.
Therefore be mindful and not deceived. Jesus told us Himself, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened. “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:21-24, 26-28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We cannot be complacent-a watered down Gospel won’t help anyone-we must cooperate in obedience with God.
We must all make more time for prayer, more time for study, more time for the Lord, “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:24-25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Yes, Jesus is coming soon, and we must be ready in truth. But the devil is operating too and although many are waking up, very few are calling for justice or truth in this corrupt world today (ISAIAH 59:4).
“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2:9-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Again I tell you, this is not a good time to be complacent; this is not a good time for a watered down Gospel. It is the truth that sets you free (JOHN 8:32).
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.”
‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭2:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved spek over yourselves David’s prayer of the hope of the faithful and the Messiah’s victory, for with Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
“Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.” As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.” Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips. O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Make Straight In The Dessert A Highway For Our Lord

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 05:58:16 GMT

Stand Firm In Truth

ISAIAH 40:1-5
“”Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God. “Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, That her warfare is ended, That her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the LORD’s hand Double for all her sins.” The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/isa.40.1-5.nkj

v

Judah still had 100 years of trouble before Jerusalem would fall, and 70 years of exile. So God tells Isaiah to speak tenderly and comfort Jerusalem.
Today, we believers face all kinds of trials and challenges like never before, but God is with us.
He never said being a believer was going to be easy, but the troubles of today push us to our limits.
My brethren, you might not escape adversity, but you can find God's comfort as you confront it.
Sometimes however, the only comfort we have is in the knowledge that someday soon we will be with God, “And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, truly I tell you, the best is yet to come.
Meanwhile, Isaiah has told us where many are today.
“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips have spoken lies, Your tongue has muttered perversity. No one calls for justice, Nor does any plead for truth. They trust in empty words and speak lies; They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity. They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; He who eats of their eggs dies, And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out. Their webs will not become garments, Nor will they cover themselves with their works; Their works are works of iniquity, And the act of violence is in their hands. Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:1-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all see the lies and corruption in this world, but very few are seeking freedom or truth, justice, or righteousness.
Although many people are waking up and standing for their rights, many are still foolishly accepting the immoral teachings in our schools, the lies and evil schemes of our governments, and even the jabs that are filled with vipers eggs as a way forward.
Most here in the UK support our farmers and quietly voice their support, but do nothing more.
Sadly, many still believe the lies of our corrupt leaders who are taking us toward the coming cashless society as in Revelation 13, the new world order.
Despite the sudden deaths and awful side effects of the vaccines, many are still accepting the foolish advice of scientists and their toxic drugs, rather than taking this to God and putting their trust in Him.
Just as they lie about global climate change world wide, simply to steal endless amounts of money from the people, they lie and deceive in every area of life and promote lawlessness and immorality.
What happened to putting our trust in the Lord?
The eggs are hatching and a web of diversity and hate is growing.
As we go into 2026, we shall see more and more evidence of the devil’s works. But many are waking up to the dark truths and evil agendas of our corrupt world leaders who are controlled and led by the real enemy, the devil and his evil army of fallen angels (EPHESIANS 6:12).
Jesus time is now and many shall turn to God in repentance; we shall see the glory of God coming upon this dark world and revival of the true church is inevitable.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The old religious church that has operated from man, one pastor, vicar, or minister, is all but dismantled.
The old wine is depleted. But our Lord kept the best til last and the new is here; Jesus time is now (JOHN 2:1-11).
”For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭22‬-‭24‬ ‭NkJV
My beloved, appreciate the comfort and encouragement found in God’s Word, His presence, and His people.
Preparing a straight highway means removing obstacles and rolling out the red carpet for the coming of the Lord.
But repentance is needed to turn this around.
It is time for the church to hand the reins to Jesus and stand back and allow Him to lead His people as we walk with Him. And as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we shall fear no evil, for God is with us. His rod and His staff shall comfort us PSALM 23:1-6).
The wasteland is a picture of life's trials and sufferings. We are not immune to these, but our faith need not be hindered by them. Isaiah told the people to prepare to see God’s work. John the Baptist used these words as he challenged the people to prepare for the coming Messiah (Mathew 3:3).
As we start 2026, we must be prepared for the fast approaching return of Christ. Therefore, don't allow life's struggles to hinder your faith, but rather, put your trust in God knowing that everything is in His hand; that He takes what the devil meant for evil and turns it for good (GENESIS 50:20).
My beloved, come out from the old church religious systems that silences the apostles and prophets; the old church controlled by man, in mans power, and embrace the new apostolic five fold ministry of Christ that is rising up throughout the nations.
Give the reins to Jesus and allow Him to lead us into the ultimate victory.
Meanwhile, stay focused on God's promise, that the best is yet to come; the promise of eternal life in paradise heaven is coming closer, and all our anxieties, sadness and sorrows will be gone forever.
We Spirit filled believers are called to serve; you are soldiers of Christ. So pick up your cross and follow the example of Jesus.
Get serious and share the Good News and battle the enemy on your knees.
Like “These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved we cannot continue to walk in the sinful ways of the world, nor its old religious systems.
We cannot remain silent or complacent anymore.
Therefore, we must come out and shine for Christ, and make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”“
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Therefore, If Anyone Is In Christ , The New Creation Has Come

Wed, 31 Dec 2025 05:49:10 GMT

Put On The New

2 CORINTHIANS 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
”‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.5.17.NKJ

V

We believers are not only born again into a new family, but we become a new creation.
The Holy Spirit gives us new life, and we are in God’s timing, individually transformed into a brand new people.
The old person has passed away, along with it our record of sin, justified by the blood of Jesus Christ shed on a cross.
Furthermore, as promised by Jesus, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit; He will dwell with you and will be in you; He will never leave you. He is our help to lead and guide us on a path of righteousness (JOHN 14: 15-18).
The term “new nature” refers to the transformation that occurs within people when they submit, cooperate, and believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour (ROMANS 12:1-2).
That is not rehabilitated, reformed, or renovated. It means completely and distinctly brand new, born again into a new family, with new values, new motives, and a whole new way of life, living in vital union with Christ (COLOSSIANS 2:6-7).
While this transformation is true individually, Paul is telling us that not only are believers changed from within, there is far more, that a whole new order of creation began with Christ.
There is a new covenant, a new body (church), and all of creation is being renewed.
This is an entirely new order of all creation under the authority of Jesus Christ.
The old man can still present himself in the new life and expresses himself in sinful deeds, so we must put off the old man and put on the new, like putting on a new suit of righteousness, renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him (COLOSSIANS 3:10).
In other words, God transforms us by renewing the mind (ROMANS 12:1-2), giving us a new Christ like nature within, that must be cultivated and nurtured by spiritual decisiveness to grow in Christ, that we become more Christ like day by day as the Holy Spirit does a good work from within.
And I am convinced that God who began a good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (Philippians 1:6).
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5:17-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If Anyone Acknowledges That Jesus Is The Son Of God, God Lives In Them And They In God

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 07:30:37 GMT

Not I, But Christ In Me

1 JOHN 4:12-16
“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭4:12-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.12-16.NKJ

V

When we commit to God and become a true disciplined believer of Christ, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit who lives in us (JOHN 14:15-17; ACTS 2:38).
He gives us the desire to do His will, and empowers us to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13). Furthermore, He empowers us to love each other because God loved us first (v 16-19).
Love in itself is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy and covers a multitude of sins (1 PETER 4:8). Gods love is selfless and unconditional and asks for nothing back in return.
It is His love that empowers forgiveness and radiates from believers to shine for Christ. Furthermore, it empowers them to care for others, not seeking their own, but the profit of many (1 CORINTHIANS 10:31-33).
God’s loving presence in our life is proof that we belong to Him; that He lives in us, and us in Him.
When saved, God’s Spirit joins with our spirit, for “he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit joins one’s spirit and he is saved. "Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
From within, the Holy Spirit convicts change, teaches and leads us in His righteousness, “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He literally manifest Himself to do good His works through His faithful believers, for “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly/ heart will flow rivers of living water.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it is no longer I, but Christ in me that does it (GALATIANS 2:20).
“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Having said that, the Holy Spirit Cannot manifest through sin. The lust of the flesh must be put to death, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Therefore, put away all offence, lust, and selfishness, and submit to the Lord.

As James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To be a believer, not only must one believe Jesus is God, but also, that He is the Son of God who came in human form to save the world.
Salvation cannot come from holy living or good works, for it is too late for that, for all have sinned.
But rather, our eternal future comes from faith alone, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (ROMANS 10:9).
By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Anti-Christ, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 JOHN 4:3-4).
Indeed, the same power that created the heavens and the earth, and the very same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you, empowering you to overcome every trial, every challenge, every addiction, every sin, and fulfil the will of God for you, however impossible that may seem.
Furthermore, as a disciplined believers of Christ, you have authority over even the demons (LUKE 10:17).
My brethren, the time has come for us to walk in the authority and power that Jesus Christ has given us; “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, nothing is too big or insignificant for God; therefore you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
My beloved, even the impossible, for what is impossible for humans, is possible with God (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26).
Therefore, humble yourselves before God and be obedient to Him, for that is the least you can do; and do not be conformed to this world, but rather, transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you come to understand what is that good and acceptable and the perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
My beloved, He paid a high price for you on a cross, Indeed, for all humanity, for “He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).”
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭10:31-33‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Love Your Enemies

Mon, 29 Dec 2025 07:19:29 GMT

Give Wisely

LUKE 6:34-36
“And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:34-36‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/luk.6.34-36.NKJ

V

God is love (1 JOHN 4:8), and on the two greatest of all His commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
We believers are commanded “To love your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind, This is the first and greatest commandment; the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself (MATHEW 22:37-40; MARK 12:31).”
Your neighbor is not just the family next door, or those in your street, or village.
All are our neighbours, regardless of street, town, country, or nation, including all our enemies.
The practice of loving one’s enemies is modelled by God Himself; He is kind to the unthankful and the evil, just as He is the righteous; He is the provider of all.
Jesus put it like this, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭43‬-‭48‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Love is far more than a feeling or an emotion, it is an action that comes from a duty of care.
Furthermore, It is in no way selfish, but rather selfless and unconditional; it cast out fear and comes from a firm decision to care for others, to make their needs as important as our own.
This decision goes against our natural inclinations to “put me first.” It makes no way for gossip or offence. But rather, true love, makes a perfect path to forgiveness.
But we can only truly love because God loves us first. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:18-19‬ ‭NKJV
This Scripture is not telling us to be foolish with our time and money; indeed, we need be wise.
Not everyone begging for money is in desperate need.
We are called to help the needy, not subsidise the greedy.
To lend to someone who is known for not paying back, or maybe planning to purchase something above his or her means that he doesn’t need, would be totally foolish.
Not only will you quickly run out of money, but those borrowers will never learn the true value of money.
Giving and lending including to one’s church, must always be by the leading of the Holy Spirit; only He knows one’s true circumstance; to give for any other reason is foolish and may even be undermining the work God is doing in that person or others.
Furthermore, not everyone needs financial provision, but all need to hear the gospel, but even in this, Jesus said, ““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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

If someone doesn't want to know, let them go. Don't Throw your pearls before swine.

But to be merciful toward someone in desperate need, and lend knowing you probably won’t get anything back, simply out of love, is being merciful just as your Father is also merciful; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High.
Though giving must not be because your reward will be great in this world, indeed, it may well cause you to suffer, but your blessings will be piling up in heaven (MATHEW 6:19-21).
But you can be certain that if God has put on your heart to give, He will fund it; His promise is to provide all your needs, and His promises always stand, but that promise does not necessarily extend to all our wants and fantasies.
Giving out of one’s emotions is foolish and may undermine God’s work.
Equally, emotional blackmail to extract resources from others is not acceptable, whether from the pulpit or an individual who may well be in need.
Of course my beloved, the church needs funding and we are all called to do our bit. But there is no place for a prosperity gospel in God’s Kingdom; therefore, be mindful of those suggesting that when you give, God will give you more back, or even double blessings.
But giving is an investment, not so much about investing in your worldly life of today, but rather, into your eternal future.
Sermons promising earthly blessings just before the offering basket goes round is a red flag and it is time to question the ambitions of the preacher.
It is good to give, but we must be wise.
Always pray into every situation, test the spirits (1 JOHN 4:1), and give only by the leading of the Holy Spirit., for fool and his money are quickly parted.
My beloved, having said that, love is the foundation of God’s way of life. “If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Giving is an act of love, a duty of care, and a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy.
“Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is the love of God that shall draw unbelievers to the Lordship of Christ. Therefore my beloved, shine for Christ by letting His love shine from you.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Whoever Claims To Live In Him Must Live As Jesus Did

Deliverance Is Key To A Changed Life

1 JOHN 2:6
“He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭2:6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.2.6.NKJ

V

To walk as Jesus walked, does not mean pick twelve disciples, perform miracles and then be crucified on a cross.
To walk as Christ did, we must take on the very nature of Christ, live righteous lives in obedience to God’s word and the leading of the Spirit within, in loving service to Him and His people through the five fold ministry of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11).
It is then that the supernatural signs and wonders of God will manifest throughout the church.
We will see healing and deliverance that changes lives.
He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him (v4-5).
God is faithful to forgive all sin, but that doesn’t mean we can go on living in it.
We must as individuals, not only say sorry for our sins, but must take responsibility for our behaviour and repent, being willing and making every effort to change.
Sin opens the door to the devil to make your body a home for his unclean spirits and demons.
Once in, they will target one’s soul, his mind, will, and emotions, to manipulate one’s behaviours and beliefs.
Furthermore, these demonic beings enter by the sin of our ancestors before one is even born, as well as through trauma, hurts and offence.
Through sin they are able to create ungodly soul ties which connect us spiritually to others, “Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Deliverance is key to a changed life, healing, and freedom to have peace, joy, and contentment in Christ.
The Good News is, whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered (JEOL 2:32).
If you are caught up in repetitive sin, maybe pornography, addiction, or any other sinful act, ask God to help you overcome; He is faithful to help.
He will make a way for you and give you the strength to put those things that chain you to the devil behind you.
Only by the renewing of your mind can you take on the character of Christ and be transformed by the renewing of the mind (see ROMANS 12:2).
But I am convinced that God who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Jesus Christ returns (PHILIPPIANS 1:6).
Jesus said, “Most assuredly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed ( JOHN 8:34-36).
Don’t be a slave to sin; don’t lose your place in God’s house for the sake of sinful acts that provide some short lived answers to a problem or temporary gratification of the flesh.
Ask Jesus for help. He is faithful to make a way for you. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus is the only way to the Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
Drive out those addictions, and put an end to the wild parties, the sexual immorality, the pornography, and all sin through repentance and deep inner healing and deliverance.
Submit to the Lord, resist the devil and Jesus will set you free (JAMES 4:7), for who the Son sets free is free indeed.
Resist those sinful thoughts, take them captive and bring them to the obedience of Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 10:5).
Are you caught up in repetitive sin, addiction, or does it feel like your life is cursed. Do you find yourself doing that what you hate, or not able to do what you ought as did Paul (ROMANS 7:13-25).
Is your life going round and round the same old poverty, broken relationships, anxiety/ depression, sickness, and hardships? Does your life feel like a life of torment?
If so, you are most likely in need of deep spiritual healing and deliverance.
You need to seek those operating in the deliverance ministry and be set free to live the life Jesus has for you, and have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
The joy that comes from the world is short lived and always leads to disaster, but the joy that comes from Christ is everlasting and is your strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
Jesus wants to heal you from head to toe, your soul, spirit, and body.
But, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, He did it for me, and He will do it for you, but you must believe.
For “All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭6‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
May Jesus Christ be the source of your peace, joy, and a confident hope of eternal life.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen!
If you are struggling with anxiety/ depression, suicidal thoughts, nightmares, addictions, poor health, and such as these, we are more than happy to take you through the process of deliverance and healing.

By Him All Things Were Created

Sat, 27 Dec 2025 06:10:56 GMT

The Deity Of Jesus Christ

COLOSSIANS 1:15-16
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:15-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/col.1.15-16.NKJ

V

This is one of the most strongest statements regarding the deity of Jesus Christ and His divine nature found anywhere in the bible.
Jesus is not only equal to God, He is God (PHILIPPIANS 2:6; JOHN 10:30, 38; 12:45; 14:1-11); the visible image of the invisible God.
He is before all things, and that all things were created by Him and for Him. He not only reflects God, but He reveals God to us (JOHN 14:9), as supreme over all creations; He has all priority and authority.
Rather from the dust of the earth, He came from heaven (1 CORINTHIANS 15:47); He is Lord of all (ROMANS 9:5; 10:11-13; REVELATION 1:5; 17:14).
He is completely holy (HEBREWS 7:26-28; 1 PETER 1:19; 2:22; 1 JOHN 3:5), and He alone has all authority to judge the world (ROMANS 2:16; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:10; 2 TIMOTHY 4:1).
Jesus Christ is supreme over all creation and realms.
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.
“And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, since EVERY creature in heaven and on earth and under the sun worshiped Him, He Himself is not a creature or any created being. He is God, He always was, still is, and always will be.
Yet, He is the Lamb that was slain.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, it is written, “And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Like the Colossian believers, we must believe in the deity of Christ, that Jesus is God, otherwise our faith would be hollow, without substance, misdirected, and meaningless.
“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.“
‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, surely we must oppose all those who deny Christ, those who say Jesus was just a prophet or good teacher. Jesus is God from everlasting to everlasting.
For “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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Jesus Was Led By The Spirit Into The Wilderness To Be Tempted By The Devil

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 08:46:00 GMT

Sin Starts With A Single Thought

MATHEW 4:1-4
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.4.1-4.NKJ

V

The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted-He was tested to prove Himself and maybe to show people how to deal with temptation in our lives today.
For it is through our trials and testings that we grow in Christ (JAMES 1:2-4).
After forty days and nights of fasting, Jesus was hungry, He was at His weakest and the temptation was at its greatest. But regardless of His supernatural abilities and power, He chose to not use His divine privilege to satisfy His hunger; if He had, He would of failed His test and broken His word, and would not of been able to be the sacrifice of sin, for He claimed He would not use His divine privileges as something to cling to (PHILIPPIANS 2:5-8).
His time in the wilderness was to fast for forty days-to go without food as a sacrifice to God.
But after forty days of fasting, the devil knew that Jesus was hungry and weak and saw opportunity to cause Him to back track on His word, and therefore attempted to bring temptations.
The devil is always close by ready to test us when we are at our weakest.
But Jesus rebuked the devil’s words of temptation with the word of God and sent the devil packing.
Jesus needed food, but the timing was wrong.
He had put down His divine powers in order to experience humanity fully, and He needed to wait for the right time to eat when food had become correctly available for Him.
If He had done as the devil planned, He would of fallen into sin and could not of paid our debt.
The devil is never far away; he is the accuser and is always looking for opportunity to accuse you (JOB 1:6-11).
We all face temptation of satisfying the lust of our flesh. They are usually perfectly normal desires, but in the wrong way or at the wrong time become sin.
If we indulge in sexual relations outside of marriage, or steal food, we are trying to satisfy God-given desires at the wrong time or in wrong ways.
Many of our natural desires are normal and good, but God wants you to satisfy them in the right way at the right time.
Jesus was solid in rejecting temptation, because not only did He know the Scripture, but He obeyed it.
God’s word is a spiritual sword to use in combating the devil (EPHESIANS 6:17).
Knowledge of the Scriptures is an important step in standing firm against the devil’s attack, but without putting God’s word into practice, it is pointless.
The devil knows the bible well, and He used it to try to fool Jesus into making a mistake, but Jesus, even after 40 days and nights of fasting remembered the Scripture-“It is written man shall not live by bread alone” He said, “but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,” and rejected his body’s plea for food.
Knowing and obeying the Bible helps us to follow God’s desires rather than our own which can be influenced by the devil.
We must therefore learn it and put it into practice in our daily life.
Who is in control, you or your body? Are you going to submit to the cravings of your flesh, or to God?
Good food, sexual relations, and other cravings can be good desires, but are only good for us when we indulge at the right time and in the right way.
Unfortunately, because we have inherited a sinful nature, we cannot overcome temptation in our own strength.
We have a deceitful heart (JEREMIAH 17:9), and since it is a part of the flesh, is determined to please the flesh and is very good at justifying sin.
But however, we believers are truly blessed, for God sent His Holy Spirit to be with us, indeed, in us to lead us in His righteousness. He is an advocate, the help we need to live right (JOHN 14:15-18).
Once we receive the Holy Spirit a battle starts from within.
One’s flesh has been in control from birth, but now is being challenged.
That deceitful heart comes up with every trick in the book to justify and satisfy the flesh, while the Holy Spirit gives a righteous way forward.
Having said that, He does not take away one’s free will, so cooperation and determination is needed.
It is encouraging to know that God not only gives us the desire to do what is pleasing to Him, but He gives us the power to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13). All you need do is ask.
“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God cannot be tempted, Jesus proved that, and He doesn’t tempt anyone else.
But the devil is always close by to bring temptations and with his little whispers, he justifies it.
But don’t be deceived my brethren, sin lets the devil in, and like squatters are very happy to make your body their home, giving them access to manipulate your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviours, and bring all kinds of torment, sickness, negativity, fear and anxieties, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.
From within these devil’s take possession of areas of one’s life, placing themselves in the driving seat of our bodies, which is supposed to be a vessel of the Holy Spirit, Whom when we are saved, joins with our spirit and we become one spirit with Him (1 CORINTHIANS 6:27).
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit shall manifests Himself through our flesh to do His good works through our bodies and as Jesus said, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sin lets the devil in, for the Holy Spirit must retreat from the flesh, and like squatters, they will reside in a person’s body until they are evicted.
It feels like the Holy Spirit has left, but He never leaves us orphans (JOHN 14:18). He resides quietly joined to our spirit which remains perfect and convicts change from within.

In our times of testing, like in school, the teacher leaves us to do the test, and we find ourselves in the wilderness until the test is finished.
James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To submit to God is turn away from sin and submit to His will. To resist the devil is to resist his temptations and command him out. It is then that he shall flee from you.
When we make our spirit king and our soul (our mind, will, and emotions) servant to the king, the King of kings shall lead us in His righteousness and we shall produce good fruits.
But when we allow the flesh to be dominant, it shall live only to satisfy our flesh.
Our bodies are temples of the living God, but when we sin, we come in agreement with the devil and he is authorised him to enter.
However much we try, we will make mistakes, but God knew about all our sins, from the start to our last breath, and forgave them all when He blessed us with the Holy Spirit.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But sexual sin is sin within the temple of God.
“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭15‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We have free will to choose, but the decision comes from our very soul, our mind, will, and emotions.
“Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬-‭28‬ ‭NKJV
Those who choose to deny himself (the worldly lust), and take up his cross, (serve God even in suffering), those who give up their lives-the things of this world for Christ will be saved.
To have nice things, a nice home, car, money in the bank , is not wrong. God wants us to have a healthy lifestyle.
But “There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt. But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand. And this also is a severe evil— Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
No amount of money, life style, or credibility, is worth selling your soul. Everything of this world is temporary and useless for our eternal future.
Whether we choose heaven or hell, we shall go naked and empty handed-we shall take nothing with us.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Make Today About Jesus

LUKE 2:11-14
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭2:11-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/luk.2.11-14.NKJ

V

The Jews at this time were waiting for a saviour to deliver them from Roman rule; others hoped that Christ would deliver them from their physical ailments.
But Jesus, while establishing a spiritual kingdom and healing their illnesses, delivered them and us today from all sin and death.
He paid our debt of sin by taking our place on a cross, opening a way to peace with God.
His offer is far-more reaching than temporary, political or physical changes-He offers us renewed hearts and minds that will last for all eternity.
He makes way for us through the trials and challenges of today and gives us the confident hope of a wonderful eternal future.
Being saved is not a complicated process.
It starts with relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer.
Salvation does not rely on goods works or any religious actions; it does not rely on one’s power, strength, knowledge, or abilities; and is not affected by one’s sinful past, future mistakes, sexual orientation, or skin colour or place of birth.
Salvation comes through faith alone. “But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:8-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Belief and confidence in another comes through relationship-faith in Christ comes the same way; the more one gets to know Him, the more he or she shall trust Him.
The works of the devil are very apparent in this world today; poverty, sickness, torment, hardship, lawlessness, sexual immorality, drunkenness, pestilence, addictions, homelessness, unemployment, anxiety/ depression, suicides, and all kinds of corruption and meaningless controls on our lives.
Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, now would be a good time to turn to God in repentance and receive the gift of life Jesus is offering you. It is eternal and it can be yours in abundance.
All you need do is believe and put your trust in Him.
Give yourself to Christ today, for tomorrow may be too late.
My brethren, if you are not yet baptised, make the decision today to do it. It is a command and a public commitment to God. It is your signature of covenant with Christ.
As we believers start our Christmas Day, may we start our day with prayer, contemplating exactly what Christ has done for all humanity and make Him the centre of our celebrations.
Not just the birth of the only begotten Son, but rather His life, death, and resurrection.
Contemplate everything He has done, and when you drink wine, do so in remembrance of Him.
Make this Christmas what it is supposed to be, the mass of Christ people, giving Him all the glory, for our God deserves every praise.
Don’t allow your celebration to be the pagan festival that so many Christians believe, but rather a festival of joy of Christ and what He has done. It will be what you make it. It can be a festival of witch craft and over indulgence like the pagans done, or it can be a joyful celebration of Christ.
Before you start your Christmas feast, break bread and share communion together in remembrance of what Christ has done, and then speak out Psalm 103 or other Scripture, giving God all the glory, for He alone is worthy.
Make this Christmas Day, what it is supposed to be, a gathering of Christ people in every nation and bless the Lord.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. The Lord executes righteousness And justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, So the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them. The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all. Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word. Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭1‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

When They Saw The Star They Were Overjoyed. On Coming To The House, They Saw The Child With His Mother Mary, And They Bowed Down And Worshiped Him

It Is Time To Know Jesus

MATHEW 2:10-11

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

https://www.bible.com/114/mat.2.10-11.nkjv

In a time of darkness, God through the Prophet Isaiah promised to send the Messiah-a ray of hope for all mankind-a light who would shine on everyone.

He said, “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9:6-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So when the wise men saw the star, they knew the Prophecy of the Messiah’s arrival had come to pass and they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

They could see a great future ahead of them, but just like us people today, they didn’t truly understand just how great that future would be.

The wise men brought gifts and worshiped Jesus for who He was. These gifts were expensive gifts worthy of a king-Gold was a gift of royalty, frankincense was a gift for deity, and myrrh was a spice used to anoint a body for burial.

The birth of Jesus gave the people back then and us today-hope of a wonderful future, even in the turmoil of this world, and His death and resurrection proved it.

For He not only paid the price of sin, but He defeated death itself. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The devil came to steal and to kill, and destroy, your life, your relationships, your careers, your health, and wealth, and even your life, but Jesus came to undo his evil works that you may have life, and have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).

This is a free gift, and all you need do is believe, receive, and reach out and take it.

‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is more than just the Good News, it is wonderful amazing Good News. Don’t let it pass you by, for the alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.

To tell you the truth, Jesus return is just around the corner.

As “Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭42‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Today, the people are waking up to the corruption and sinister plots of the devil and his corrupt governments. Many are bowing their heads in repentance and turning to God in these last days, and as is written, the time is approaching as prophecied back in those days, that “fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭43‬-‭47‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Therefore my beloved, “Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”

‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Therefore The Lord Himself Will Give You A Sign; The Virgin Will Conceive And Give Birth To A Son, And Will Call Him Immanuel

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:15:51 GMT

Make Every Season About Jesus

ISAIAH 7:14-16
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7:14-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.7.14-16.NKJ

V

The word “virgin” is translated from a Hebrew word (Bethuwlah) used to describe an unmarried woman (maiden) who although is sexually mature and old enough to be married, remains celibate and pure (see GALATIANS 24:43; EXODUS 2:8; PSALM 68:25; PROVERBS 30:19; SONG OF SONGS 1:3; 6-8).
This prophecy was very important, for it showed the people beforehand that Mary’s pregnancy would not come from sexual relations, but rather, she would conceive from God’s supernatural powers, otherwise, who would believe?
The message is also a confirmation that Christ is fully man and fully God (and shall call His name Emmanuel), which means “God is with us”. This is perhaps the most powerful of all prophecies about Jesus Christ who is God in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6-7) and came, not to judge, but to seek, save, and redeem the lost (LUKE 19:10).
Just as Jesus chose the descendants of Israel in Deuteronomy 7:6-11, He chose His apostles (JOHN 15:16), and He chose you.
Relationship with His people is central to God’s purposes for creation; furthermore, relationship between God and people is bound by His unconditional love.
Just as God pursued relationship with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He initiated relationships with Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, and every other follower in the Scriptures.
His love chased after His disciples back then, and His love chases after you today.
God’s love for His people goes beyond anything we can even begin to understand, as is His abilities and powers. We believers can only truly love because God loved us first (1 JOHN 4:19).
It is encouraging to know that whatever is going on around us and whatever circumstance we are facing, we, Gods people, are safe in His hands.
“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:38-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As we head into our Christmas celebrations, may we all make Jesus our main focus and celebrate not just the birth of Christ, but His whole life and give Him all the praise and glory with a thankful heart, for He alone is worthy of all praise.
Some say that Christmas is an old pagan festival-solstice, an ancient Roman feast called Saturnalia, and that may well be true. But the truth is, if it was, God turned this evil act into something amazing and good.
We can allow the devil into our emotions to focus our minds on the evil of the past to bring division. We can choose overindulgence and drunkeness, or we can choose joy in the Lord and the good that the season brings, forgiveness and love within families and church, and all the opportunities to share the Gospel and bless others.
The theme of Christmas is to give and promotes a giving heart, and because of our Christmas celebrations, pretty much everyone in every nation all around the world has heard the name Jesus and His story; and that alone is worth celebrating.
So make this this Christmas all about Jesus, His life, His death, His resurrection, and all what He has done.
The truth is, more people commit their lives to Christ in and around the Christmas season which softens hearts to give and receive than any other time of the year.
Therefore, use every opportunity to share the Good News with the world, plant good seeds and we will see the harvest in due course.
Christmas is the perfect example of God taking what the devil meant for evil and turning it to good (GENESIS 50:20).
Therefore, focus on the good and the opportunities that the Christmas season brings and give God all the glory.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Let The Message About Christ, In All Its Richness, Fill Your Lives

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 08:07:54 GMT

Put Away All Offence

COLOSSIANS 3:12-17
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
”‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/col.3.12-17.NKJ

V

Since we Spirit filled believers are one body of people of which Christ is the head, it is important that we get along with one another and be respectful to one another, forgiving one another as we walk together in Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11-16).
Paul suggest a strategy to help us live for God on a day to day basis:
To put on tender mercies; being merciful and kind toward one another with a forgiving attitude; showing humility, meekness, longsuffering, and being patient, bearing one another.
Furthermore, we are called to worship together, regularly singing praises to God (HEBREWS 10:25), giving thanks, and studying God’s word together in wisdom, by the leading of the Spirit, admonishing one another (to correct or counsel in a solid, but in a diplomatic, loving, mild or gentle manner).
Therefore, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:23-25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, should you have a complaint against another, forgive him or her as Christ has forgiven you. But above all, put on love which is a duty of care placed upon all believers for all people, and is the bond of perfection, the foundation of our faith and Christian life, for regardless of one’s gifting, understanding, biblical knowledge, faith, or good works or deeds; without love, we are nothing (1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-4).
Problems in our relationships, past and present, wether in or out of the church, are like chains that separate us from God and give Satan access to our souls (our mind, will, and emotions) to demonise, mislead, manipulate, and torment; to bring more division and pain to the rest of the body.
We we cannot go forward in our walk with Christ holding a grudge.
However much one may of have been hurt, he or she must forgive so that your Father in heaven will forgive him (MATHEW 6:15; MARK 11:26).
The very moment you forgive the chains of are broken. You have overcome and are no longer the victim, but the victor.
The chains that tied you to the past sufferings that caused pain and offence over and over are broken, and you are free to move on and be delivered of any other holds the devil might have over you and be healed.
My beloved, who the Son sets free is free indeed (JOHN 8:36).
Furthermore, as the devil loses his grip over one’s life, the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will come upon him or her, and the joy of the Lord will flow as Gods peace guards his or her heart and mind through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7), and joy of the Lord shall become his strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
He or she will grow and shine for Christ and bring a harvest of good fruits.
No longer will you live in the painful past, but in a glorious and wonderful eternal future.
Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but if we remind ourselves that we have all hurt someone, including God, it shall become easier. We all need forgiveness of our Father.
I encourage you to be confident of your forgiveness by praying a blessing over all those who hurt you, after all, not one of us can truly say, “I have never wronged anyone.” We all need forgiveness from both people and God.
Therefore, follow the example of Christ, and forgive just as our Father forgives.
Forgiveness does not mean you have to like, associate, or allow that person to continue to abuse or become his or her best friend, but rather, you must let go of all revenge and free him or her from the debt of their wrong doings against you.
Christ has paid a high price to free not only you, but all your aggressors too.
Jesus paid it all, and He wants no one to perish, but for all to come to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
Forgiveness is a choice that sets not just your aggressor free, but even more, it sets you free to be forgiven and live for Jesus (LUKE 6:37), to become an individual, productive part of the body of Christ that can operate in unity with the whole body in love.
Therefore, ““Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭26‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We are all individual parts of the same body.
“But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭20‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬
But we cannot be right with God while in offence or holding a grudge.
When we hold onto offence, we grieve the the Holy Spirit, and He retreats from the flesh and remains quietly within one’s spirit working from within to convict repentance and change.
It feels like we are alone in the wilderness, like He has left us, but Jesus will never leaves us orphans (JOHN 14:18).
When saved, His Holy Spirit joined our spirit (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ NKJV
The Holy Spirit leads us to do good works in Christ, and out of the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters as He manifests Himself through our flesh (JOHN 7:38).
But when one grieves the Spirit with sin or offence, He retreats from the flesh and the process of conviction starts quietly from within.
The conviction to repent can feel like condemnation when pride is allowed to rule, when we refuse to take responsibility for our actions.
But “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus doesn’t condemn and nor should the congregation, but through loving discipline, led by the Spirit, and His work within, He convicts change.
My beloved, love is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy.
Therefore my beloved, take heed of Jesus words. ““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. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. “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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We are all responsible for our own salvation (PHILIPPIANS 2:12).
Therefore live right with God, “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Dear Friends, Since God So Loved Us, We Also Ought To Love One Another

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 06:48:57 GMT

Justified By Faith

1 JOHN 4:7-11
“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭4:7-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.9.NKJ

V

While all believers are sons and daughters of God, Jesus is God’s only begotten Son. He is God in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6); He is fully God and fully man. Only Jesus lives in this unique relationship with God and man (JOHN 1:15-19; 3:16).
Love is the explanation why God creates-because He creates people to love, and why God cares-because He loves them regardless of their faults, failures, and even their sin. But why we are free to choose?
The answer in part is because He wants a heart felt loving response from us.
But why would Christ died for us?. The answer is because His love and mercy looked for a way for redemption and that convicted Him to provide the only possible solution to the problem of sin, and the reason why we received eternal life is because we cannot be separated from God’s love and it never stops; He shall express His love toward us forever (ROMANS 8:38-39).
God is absolute goodness and perfection, He cannot overlook, or condone, or excuse sin as though it never happened. His love for us does not make Him morally lax. His solution had to legally justify life to the sinner.
Therefore, if we trust in God, we will not have to bear the penalty of our sins (1 PETER 2:24), we are justified by faith.
Propitiation is the removal of God’s wrath, and by faith alone, believers are justly acquitted (ROMANS 5:18), for Christ paid our punishment, by taking our place on a cross.
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (JOHN 15:13).
And since God loves each and every one of so much that He gave His life to save us, should we not love one another? Should we not care for one another?
Surely, it is time to forgive one another and submit to the Lordship of Christ.
If only we could all make the choice to obey the two great commandments that Jesus told us, this world would soon become a better place to live.
He said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Should we obey these two great commandments, all the other commandments would be satisfied.
My brethren, love is selfless and unconditional. It does not grudge nor seek revenge, but rather “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7‬ ‭NKJV‬
Love does not gossip, seek its own, nor revenge, nor manipulate, but rather is selfless, unconditional, and is a decision and an action of care toward others.
Those who love seek consolidation, peace, and unity, and where agreement cannot be found, they respectably agree to disagree and allow love to have its way.
This kind of can only come from God. Therefore, “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:17-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Their are no exceptions; no situation or sin is an excuse to gossip, or to hold a grudge, or seek revenge, for that is to hate. Therefore, forgive so that your Father can forgive you. ““For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, love is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy, and therefore, it is always the devil’s plan to destroy the love, bring division and destroy relationships.
He continually works to destroy the love of Christ that manifest through His people; the love that shines and attracts others to the Lordship of Christ.
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.“
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Look The Virgin Will Conceive A Child! She Will Give Birth To A Son And They Will Call Him Emanuel, Which Means "God Is With Us"

Sat, 20 Dec 2025 07:45:41 GMT

Who Is In Control, You Or Your Flesh?

MATHEW 1:20-23
“But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1:20-23‬ ‭NKJV‬

God sent angels, spiritual beings created by God, to help carry out His work here on earth, and actually, He continues to send His angels to continue His work today.
As back then, they support us believers today and bring God’s messages to people (LUKE 1:26), protect God’s people (DANIEL 6:22), offer encouragement (GENESIS 16:7), give guidance (EXODUS 14:19), carry out punishment (2 SAMUEL 24:16), patrol the earth (ZECHARIAH 1:9-14), and fight the force of evil (2 KINGS 6:16-18; REVELATION 20:1-2).
We believers can ask God to send His heaven’s armies to fight on our behalf against the spiritual battles we face that manifest into our physical troubles here on earth.
All of our troubles are spiritually sourced and sin lets the devil in. Therefore, submit to the Lord, resist the devil and he shall flee from you (JAMES 4:7).
But there are good and bad angels; and because bad angels (fallen angels) are allied with the devil, they are considerably less powerful and have authority only in ones sin. But to under estimate their powers and abilities would be a foolish mistake.
By no means can mere humans stand against these powerful beings in their own powers and abilities (ACTS 19:11-20).
God sent His angels to help certain people understand the significance of this supernatural event, the conception and the birth of Jesus Christ (see 2-13, 19; LUKE 1:11, 26; 2:9).
The angel declared to Joseph that Mary’s child was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and that she would have a Son and His name shall be Jesus, which means “the Lord saves;” and that he should not be fearful to take Mary as His wife.
This reveals an important truth about Jesus, that He is both fully God and fully man (PHILIPPIANS 2:6-7).
Jesus Also known as Immanuel, (God is with us), has many names and titles, wonderful, counsellor, prince of peace, and many others that describe who He really is.
We cannot save ourselves from sin and it’s consequences; it’s too late for that, for we have already sinned, but Jesus came to this earth in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6) to save us.
No matter how good we are, we cannot eliminate the sinful nature present in all of us. Only Jesus can do that; He is the way, the truth, and the life, He is the only way to the Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
He didn’t come that people could save themselves, rather He came as a good Father, to take the debt of sin on His shoulders, to be their Saviour from the power and penalty of sin which is death.
We cannot save ourselves from the wages of sin, because sin according God’s Law justifies and brings about death.
God’s grace does not override justice, for if it did, Jesus would of had no reason to die on a cross to pay the debt of sin.
But because Christ justified our lives by taking our place on a cross, His grace is enough.
Furthermore, because He was risen, we believers have resurrection life with Christ.
Jesus would fulfil the prophecy of Isaiah, for He would be Immanuel (God is with us,” see Isaiah 7:14). Confirmation that Jesus was God in the flesh, He was literally among His people here on earth doing His work to undo the evil deeds of the devil, and start the work of building His church until He died on a cross as a human sacrifice for the redemption of our sins. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Today, Jesus remains with us; through the Holy Spirit, He is present today in every born again believer (see JOHN 14:15-21), making way in our lives as we face the trials and tribulations of today, such as manufactured pestilence, controls and restrictions, and persecution, leading us in His righteousness, by His power and abilities to claim the victory that Christ won for us on the cross over sin and death.
Regardless of what is going on around us, no matter what this world throws at us, we already have the victory through Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
Eternal life is a gift from God; He paid a very high price for you as He did for me. But to receive it, you must apply His spilled blood to your life, walk in it by faith and believe.
One must cooperate with God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
We cannot continue to live in sin and expect to enter the Kingdom of God. But rather we must walk by the leading of the Holy Spirit putting our old sinful ways to death.
That’s not always easy, for the lust of the flesh are powerful and our deceitful hearts, and we all have one (JEREMIAH 17:9), will operate to fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Jesus sent the help we all need. He said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, one’s heart must be right with God and believe.
Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit joins with his spirit and “he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
At this time his spirit is made perfect, for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When we walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit in us, He manifests through our souls, our mind, will, and emotions to do good works through our flesh in His righteousness, and out of the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
But when one slips back into sin or goes his own way, the Holy Spirit retreats and remains silently connected to our spirit. It then feels like He has left us in the wilderness, like He has abandoned us. But the truth is, He never leaves us (JOHN 14:18), nor condemns us, ROMANS 8:1), but rather convicts us to repentance.
Our sin brings us in alignment with the devil and he and his demons are able to enter the flesh and one becomes possessed/ demonised.
Once in, these demons can influence one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, until removed.
Many say, the devil cannot possess anyone because possession is ownership, and the devil owns no one.
But actually, if someone steals a car (vessel), he can drive it anywhere, use it to do damage, kill, steal, and destroy, and completely break it. But when he’s caught and brought before a judge, it is returned to its rightful owner.
These demons are like parasites that squat in our bodies and bring many troubles.
To remove them, we must bring them before the Judge Jesus Christ in the courts of heaven, tick the boxes of repentance and they shall be evicted.
James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To submit is come to Christ in repentance. To resist the devil is to rebuke him and command him to come out by name, for they will say , “it’s not me he’s commanding out,” and then they will flee from you.
We all have choice, to live to satisfy our lust, or to live for Christ by the leading of the Spirit.
One can make his flesh king or his Spirit king.
Who is in control, you or your body?
Put to death the lust of the flesh and make ones spirit king. It is then that his soul, his mind, will, and emotions, can freely serve the king, led by the King of kings, to do good works through the flesh who becomes slave to the king.
The flesh certainly won’t be happy and a battle starts from within over dominance, for in one’s former life the flesh was king, and the soul was slave to the flesh and called to satisfy its lust.
“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, my beloved, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:16-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Just As It Is Written, "The Righteous Shall Live By Faith."

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 06:37:13 GMT

I Am Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

ROMANS 1:16-17
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.1.16-17.NKJ

V

Paul was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. His message is the Good News.
It is a message that has life changing power; a message of salvation; a message that gives hope; a message that brings peace and joy into our lives, and what’s more, it is for all who believe!
Regardless of your sinful past, your origin of birth, your health, your wealth or lack of it.
Regardless of your past sin or circumstance, or any other factor; that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (ROMANS 10:9).
But if you are tempted when with your unbelieving friends or family to be ashamed-or to join in with their inappropriate jokes and actions, remember what the Good News is really about.
Jesus said, ““Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:32-33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By focusing on God and what He is doing in the world, rather than on pleasing people, or your own inadequacy or failures, you will never feel ashamed or embarrassed for you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
But why did God choose the Jews first?
For more than 2000 years, they had been God’s special people; ever since God chose Abraham and promised great blessings to his descendants (GENESIS 12:1-3). He did not choose them because they deserved to be chosen (DEUTERONOMY 7:7-8; 9:4-6), but rather because God wanted to show His loving mercy to them, for it was through them, He would send His Messiah into the world.
It was nothing to do with favouritism, but simply because He had to start somewhere and the Jews were His choice. He chose them so they would tell the plan of salvation to the world.
God has no favourites; For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God had chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but rather because the Lord loves you (DEUTERONOMY 7:6-8)-every single one of us who chooses to believe in Him.
This is not just Good News, it is amazingly wonderful Good News, and just as written, “the righteous shall live by faith.”
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

My Soul Yearns For You In The Night; In The Morning My Spirit Longs For You

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 07:58:58 GMT

Don't Allow Divisions Within The Church

ISAIAH 26:7-10
“The way of the just is uprightness; O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just. Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You. With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, And will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:7-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.26.7-10.NKJ

V

At times it seems that the path of the righteous isn’t so smooth and it can become quite difficult to do God’s will. But the truth is, we are never alone when facing troubling times; God is always there to help us, comfort us, lead us, and provide for us.
He does this by giving us a purpose, that we remain dependent and focused on Him, and by building our trust in Him to rise to every situation.
But He wants more than obedience and praise, He wants relationship and intimacy with His people.
His love for His people is immeasurable.
God provides us with relationships of family, friends, and mentors, He gives us wisdom to make right choices, and faith to trust Him.
Therefore, even in these times of corruption, threats of war, pestilence, restrictions and controls, you who put your trust in God shall have peace. For it is written, “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in YAH, the Lord, is everlasting strength.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭26:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We wait for the Lord with expectation, knowing He has already made a way for us even in these turbulent times; He went before us to make a way, and however difficult the path, God goes through it all with us (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
The truth is, however impossible the situation may seem, God makes it possible (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26). He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28).
God is a loving God; even the wicked receive God’s benefits; He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust (MATHEW 5:45).
But the truth is, even that doesn’t teach them to do what is right because pride and selfish ambitions stand in the way.
But God’s justice teaches His people more than His good gifts. We all must live the consequences of our actions, both good and evil.
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3:11-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Solomon asked God for wisdom, and from it gained understanding which led to riches beyond belief starting with peace.
He recognised that intimacy with God was paramount to our relationship with Him.
But many of the individual parts of the body of Christ, His bride, has constantly withheld from Him, operating in ministry fixed on religious law rather than Christ, or to please people rather than God.
Just as marriages break for lack of intimacy, so the church has broken as a lack of intimacy with Christ.
The old church system that was led by one Pastor, vicar, or minister is systematically being dismantled, indeed over six thousand churches have closed throughout Europe alone in the last few years because they focused on religion rather than Christ.
This old religious church is dead and the new is here led by Jesus Christ Himself. ”And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.“
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He has gifted all believers to operate within the five fold ministry of Christ, not by man’s leadership, but His.
It is time to hand the reins to Jesus and for the whole congregation to actively operate within Christ ministry as one body in submission to our Lord and Saviour.
Coming together once a week if one can be bothered is not enough; successful marriage comes from good relationship every day with positive communication, intimacy, and without religious inhibitions.
Church isn’t a social event, it is the gathering of God’s people to seriously come together in worship of the most High and sing His well deserved praises.
Is it not time for the whole body to come together without restriction to glorify our God?
Don’t allow religious arguments to get in the way of your assembly.
Put aside your differences, stop condemning one another with religious rules as did the Pharisees and allow the love of Jesus to rule in your hearts.
My beloved, whilst more people are led to the Lord during the Christmas season, we experience more division in the church because of peoples personal opinions in regard to the Christmas celebrations.
If you believe that joining in the Christmas celebrations might be or is a sin, don’t do it. If you believe it’s not, you are blessed. But don’t condemn others because they think differently to you.
This is not a salvation issue, and we must seek unity by respectfully agreeing to disagree where agreement cannot be found.
“Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense. It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭19‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, take a step back from those things that you disagree, and come into unity with what you can agree and sing praises to our God.
Just as Paul tells us, “do not deprive intimacy from our spouse (1 CORINTHIANS 7:5),” so we must not deprive our Lord and Saviour. This simple instruction brings lasting success to marriage and our relationship with Christ.
My beloved, “”The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭9:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you have been blessed by God’s kindness and grace, and we all have, now is the time to respond to Him regardless of the season, with praise, gratitude, and devotion. Our everlasting God is deserving of all praise.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Let Your Light Shine Before Others

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 07:18:54 GMT

Shine For Christ

MATHEW 5:14-16
“”You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:14-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.5.14-16.NKJ

V

You cannot hide a city on a hill top, it can be seen from miles around, from every direction. In the same way, we believers cannot be hidden; our deeds, good and bad can be seen by all and the devil is watching.
He will do all he can to hide the light of Christ by exposing one’s sin or even bringing false allegations, for the devil is a liar (REVELATION 12:9).
Therefore we need not only live right before God, but must be seen to live right in this world through God’s wisdom and our actions before people.
If we bring smoke through foolish living, the world will assume fire.
If we are truly seen to live for Christ, we will shine bright for all to see with joy, peace, and contentment in Christ.
But the truth is, we cannot be right before God by our own power, knowledge, abilities, or even keeping the Law, for we are all sinners in need of a Saviour.
My beloved, good works of the flesh cannot save us nor produce anything good.
But we thank God for His Holy Spirit, who is with us, and in us to help us and lead us in all truth (JOHN 14:15-18; 16:13).
God’s Holy Spirit joins with our spirit through our commitment (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), and leads us in His righteousness.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Spirit leads us and guides us in all truth, and manifests Himself through our flesh to do His good works throug our bodies and out of the belly/ heart shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38).
But for that to happen, one must put his own lust to death, for nothing good comes from the flesh.
When one falls to his own lust, the Spirit retreats from the flesh and remains quietly within one’s spirit, working from within to convict him to repentance.
It feels like the Holy Spirit has left, but His promises still stand, that He will never leave us orphans (JOHN 14:18).
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But my beloved, though their is no condemnation to those in Christ, their are certainly consequences for sin, for sin lets the devil in to reside within one flesh to influence one’s very soul (our minds, will and emotions) to bring torment, false teachings and prophecies, addictions, torments, curses, fear, depression and all kinds of health issues and such as these, and shall remain until repentance is complete and the devil is evicted.
James put it like this, saying, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all have choice, to live to satisfy the lust of our flesh, or to live for God. If we live only to satisfy our worldly desires, nothing good shall come from us.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many say, one cannot become possessed by demons if he has the Holy Spirit, for God won’t share His dwelling place with the devil, and possession is ownership.
But God’s dwelling place is not within the flesh, but in spirit, and manifests Himself through the flesh to do good works. Furthermore, possession is not ownership. If someone steals a vehicle, he has taken possession, but he doesn’t own it. When caught and challenged, like squatters in a house, they are taken before a judge and evicted.
Therefore, “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God is love, and love is the foundation of our faitth; a weapon of mass destruction against our enemies.
But to love is a choice and an action of care toward others, including our enemies (MATHEW 5:43-44).
Our loving kindness toward others that can only come from God (1 JOHN 4:19); our willingness to help and give to the needy, our ability to forgive and not judge, the signs and wonders of Christ that He brings through His obedient believers, and all the fruits of the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:22-26) will be seen by all in the world to attract many to Christ and bring glory to our Father in heaven.
Only by the Spirit within can we believers shine for Christ.
You don’t put a light under a basket, you put it on the table where it will illuminate the whole room.
We hide God’s light by failing to speak out when we should, or by going along with the sinful crowd.
We hide His light by joining in ungodly ways such as gossiping about others, laughing at inappropriate jokes, by involving in sinful actions and lies, and by ignoring the needs of others.
We hide His light when we use God’s Word to manipulate, control, or bring about our selfish ambitions or to steal God’s glory by placing our good deeds and actions before men (MATHEW 6:1).
My beloved, live so that you can lift up your face with joy and confidence, be a beacon of truth and let your light shine before men, that they see the good works that the Holy Spirit brings through you; not to glorify yourself, but to glorify your Father in heaven.
Let all see how our Father is good, let them see the joy, peace, and contentment we have in Christ, for Jesus said, “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 ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Whoever Claims To Love God, Yet Hates A Brother Or A Sister Is A Liar

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 06:46:29 GMT

To Love Is A Decision And An Action

1 JOHN 4:20-21
“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭4:20-21‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.4.20-21.NKJ

V

To love someone is a choice; it is easy to love when their is no cost involved.
It is easy to love God when it doesn’t cost more than a weekly attendance to church.
But the real test of our love for God is in how we respond in obedience to God’s word and how we treat others; our spouses, children, family members, fellow believers, work colleagues, and even strangers.
If you really love God who you cannot see, you will also love those who God created in His image, all those you can see, including your enemies.
God’s word is full of do’s and don’t’s which every committed believer agrees to. But sadly, many pick and choose the do’s and don’t’s that suits them and ignore the rest.
Many say, “this is my body, I can do what I like;” but actually it is not (1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20), and with that attitude one breaks the very covenant he or she made with God; it is rebellion against God.
His word gives us clear instruction how to live in every circumstance, whether single or married, husband or wife, whether a father, a mother, or even a child. It’s all in the Book, but so many choose to ignore the instructions they don’t like and wonder why life goes round and round to the same old troubles; financial problems, relationship issues, brokenness, lack of peace and joy and a life of anxiety and depression.
Life goes up and down like a yo-yo. But the truth is, the problem is not God or His word, the problem is in “me” or “I.”
Remove the “I” from your alphabet and make God your number one. Without the letter “I” there is no more “I” , but Christ in me. There’s no anxiety, nor pride to steal our love for God and others.
Love is selfless and comes at a cost. “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s whole way of life is based on love; Jesus said, ‘You shall love the Lord Your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets (MATHEW 22:37-40).”
To love your neighbor as yourself including your enemies is selflessy caring for them; providing the needs they cannot provide for themselves. This is a commandment and a part of the covenant every believer made with God (Mathew 5:43-48; LUKE 6:27-36).
God’s selfless love works; it builds relationships, strengthens marriage, brings unity, and peace within families and communities. But to experience it’s fruits, one must walk in the Spirit according to God’s word without waver (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
By choosing to love others, you are expressing your love for Christ.
We may not all agree with one another, or like the behaviour of some, but we can choose to love them who God created; we can love the person, hating the sin within them; and by the way, we are all sinners, If not, Jesus would of had no reason to take our place on a cross.
Jesus hates the sin within us, but loves us so much that He chose to give up His life to save us. Their is no greater love than when one lays down his life for another (JOHN 15:13).
If only everyone could obey these two great commandments, to love one another selflessly and unconditionally, just as Christ loves us, this world would immediately become a better place to live.
To love is more than a simple feeling, it is a choice, and an action, that comes from a decision. Furthermore, it is a way of life. That is Jesus way (JOHN 14:6).
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.“
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭5‬, ‭7‬-‭8‬, ‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Son Of Man Will Come At An Hour When You Do Not Expect Him

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 07:19:24 GMT

Be Ready!

LUKE 12:40
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:40‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/luk.12.40.nkj

v

Christ return is imminent; He will come at an hour you do not expect. But the question is, are you ready?
After Jesus spoke these words, Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people? ” And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:41-43‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus promise is real; He will bless those who have remained faithful to Him. “But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:45-46‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, Jesus said, ““But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:36-42‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is not difficult to see, the fear generated through the nations as more and more controls are being placed on the people. Freedom of speech is systematically being taken away, and courts are to become jury less, giving more and more powers to our corrupt governments, as we head ever closer to the cashless society of the last days (REVELATION 21:16-18).
My brethren, there are different opinions of how and when the rapture shall happen, but it will come to pass.
“But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We in Christ who are still alive at the time of Christ return, shall be taken up meet the Lord in the air (hear on earth), but not before the dead in Christ, for they shall rise first.
“Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭51‬-‭58‬ ‭NKJV‬
The question is, are you ready for the imminent return of Jesus Christ. I tell you the truth, it is just around the corner.
There are scoffers who are saying, “where is the promise of His coming (2 PETER 3:4), but the truth is, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
God is very patient, but the hour shall still certainly come when the world is not expecting Him.
Maybe it is time to separate from the world and get our house in order!
Therefore, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved, Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭4‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For I Know The Plans I Have For You, Says The Lord, They Are Plans For Good, Not Disaster, To Give You A Future And A Hope

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 07:09:07 GMT

Be Free!

Even though they were captive in Babylon, God did not forget His people. His plan from the beginning, was to freethem from their enemies and give them a new beginning with a new purpose and a new hope, to turn them into a new people with a wonderful future ahead of them.
At times, in dire circumstances, when trouble comes in, it can feel like God has forgotten us. But from beginning of creation itself, God said, “I know the thoughts I have toward you, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
I encourage you, whatever dire circumstances you are facing right now, God knows about it, and He has a plan for you; Yes you!!! All you need do is search for Him with all your heart and you shall find Him. Therefore, pray to Him and He shall hear you.
God hasn’t forgotten you; it may be that He is preparing you as He did the people of Judah for a new beginning with Him in the centre.
The truth is, God causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28).
Although the exiles were in a difficult place and time, they didn’t need to despair because they had God’s presence, the privilege of prayer, and God’s grace.
Nothing has changed; If you seek God, He will be found. Neither a strange land, sorrow, persecution, sin, or any physical problems can break our fellowship with God.
Therefore, keep asking, seeking, and knocking, for Jesus said, ”“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.“
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God has a wonderful plan for you, it is a plan that will give you a wonderful future and a confident hope if you simply humble yourself before Him and allow Him have His way.
He is the truth that shall set you free. It is He alone who shall take you off that roundabout of despair, torment, anxiety/ depression, addictions and such things as these.
Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Paul told us, it is not I that sin, but the sin living within me the does it ROMANS 7:14-23).
Regardless, Life can be productive with a future of joy, peace, and contentment that shall never end, all you need do is ask, believe, and He will receive you.
He said to the nations through His prophet, “I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sin let the devil in, and it is he who holds people captive to a life of turmoil, torment and misery.
But James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, Paul said, “Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord. So you see how it is: In my mind I really want to obey God’s law, but because of my sinful nature I am a slave to sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭7‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Jesus wants to set you free. He is calling out to all people, saying, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”“
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, this is more than the “Good News”, it is wonderful life changing Good News that gives everyone an opportunity of a wonderful life today and an eternal future with God.
It is an opportunity to have peace where there’s no peace; that is Gods peace that surpasses all understanding and shall guard our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:7), and joy in the Lord in the chaos of this world, which is our strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We can all see what is happening in this world today; sexual immorality, lawlessness, extreme weather conditions, wars and threats of war, terrorism, manufactured pestilence, the invisible enemy that brought fear and devastation all around the world.
Our freedoms are systematically being taken away in this corrupt generation.
Peace by peace the Prophecies of the Holy Bible are turning into history as we head toward the cashless society and the mark of the beast described in REVELATION 13:11-18.
It’s all but over, therefore, if you haven’t already, now would be a good time to turn to God in repentance. Don’t lose your opportunity of life; seek God today, for tomorrow may be too late.
Jesus said, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus paid a very high price for you; He purchased Your freedoms and the right to live with Him forever with His own blood.
Don’t throw it all away; turn to Him today in repentance and receive the gift of life.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Love Is All That The Law Demands

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 07:43:31 GMT

Love Is A Command That Covers The Law

ROMANS 13:8-10
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭13:8-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.9.NKJ

V

We believers must obey God’s Law of love, which is the fulfilment of the Law, and by the way, supersedes all religious and civil law.
If you truly love your neighbour as yourself, you shall not cause them any harm, but rather, you desire them to be happy and successful; you want what is best for them.
You do not cheat your loved ones, or murder (hate), or steal, or lie about them, nor are you jealous of them, you are happy for their achievements, even when they appear to be greater than your own, and you certainly do not gossip about them or covet those whom are dear to you.
Do you humiliate those you love? Of course not.
Rather you help, comfort, and encourage them; you are happy for them when they are blessed, and you care enough to help them when they are in need.
You privately discipline those you love with the loving discipline of Jesus Christ, just as He disciplines those He loves (HEBREWS 12:6).
Is their fighting and squabbling in the street where neighbours love one another?
Would their be wars and frets of wars if every nation loved their neighbours all around the world?
Would their be famines and poverty in world that’s foundations were built on the Law of love?
It is all to easy to excuse our indifferences to others merely because we don’t have a legal obligation to help, or even justify harming them if our actions are technically legal.
But the truth is, God leaves no loopholes in His Law; God’s people must go beyond all human legal requirements and imitate God’s love for us, which is totally unconditional and selfless.
Make the decision to love your neighbour as yourself; to care for them as we care for ourselves; to care enough to feed him who is hungry without expectation of something in return, even those who are full of hate toward you, “For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Love isn’t just a feeling, it is a decision and an action of care, and we believers have a duty of care toward all our neighbours, especially our brothers and sisters in Christ, for what one withholds from the least of Christ’s children, he withholds from Christ, and what he does to the least of Christ children, He does to Christ and eternal judgment can fall upon him (MATHEW 25:31-46).
But giving must be by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Only God knows the true needs of others.
Sometimes, our needs are the opposite of what it seems.
Giving from one’s emotions or fleshly desires will ultimately satisfy its lust, but bring no lasting tangible results. But those who walk in the Spirit shall produce good fruits and Gods will shall be done.
To give isn’t always about money or food; it can be ministerial, disciplinary, or encouragement; to give out of emotions or for any other reason may undermine the work God is doing in that person.
Many people bail out their loved ones time and time again, but it’s not always what they need.
We believers are called to help the needy, not subsidise elaborate lifestyles or addictions, or fund others foolishness.
Sometimes people need to hear the response no.
We can’t help those who are not willing to help themselves; those who go around and around in the same old; we can’t change anyone, only God can do that.
We all need to face the consequences of our actions at times, so that we become willing to change and bow to our Lord and Saviour.
Living foolishly outside of one’s own station will bring poverty, just as it will come to those who give foolishly.
But that poverty will break pride, bring truth, and future wisdom.
Most have to fall to the bottom of the pit before they can bounce back up; sometimes, we have to stand aside and let them fall and trust God to lift them up.
But that love that you have for your own children, you’re closest loved ones that forgives every time; that stirs up your emotions to help them whatever and whenever they are in need or struggling, is the love you should have for your neighbour; even your enemies (MATHEW 5:43-48; LUKE 6:27-28).
But the truth is, we can only truly love because God loved us first (1 JOHN 4:19).
Only the ministry of Jesus Christ stands truly on the Law of love, and only through Him can anyone love others, because He is love.
Jesus said, “”You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭37‬-‭40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, if only all would bow the knee and obey these two great commandments, this world would instantly become a better place to live and we would all fulfil God’s Law, because “On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For The Lord Sees Clearly What A Man Does

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 07:34:02 GMT

The Perfect Marriage

PROVERBS 5:15-23
“Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth. As a loving deer and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; And always be enraptured with her love. For why should you, my son, be enraptured by an immoral woman, And be embraced in the arms of a seductress? For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5:15-23‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.5.15-23.NKJ

V

This passage is picture of faithfulness in marriage and our relationship with Christ.
In Old Testament times it was considered a crime to steal water from someone else’s well, just as it was a criminal offence to indulge in sexual relations with another persons spouse.
Today, adultery has become “normal” in society, like it’s ok as long as I’m not the victim.
But God’s Laws haven’t changed.
Adultery destroys lives including the lives of the children and is totally unacceptable.
God’s Laws all have purpose. Sexual relationships outside of marriage brings many problems, and all kinds life issues, like single parent families, unwanted children, and even abortion, not to mention the spread of sexually transmitted disease.
Godly marriage brings stability, promotes higher moral standards, and disciplined family life that is passed on through the generations.
This passage urges couples to view marriage as a life-long commitment; for life-long companionship; and for life-long mutual satisfaction, and with it comes wonderful fruits and the fulfilment of life.
If you allow your marriage to become dull or boring, the temptations of the devil will come to entice you to find excitement and pleasures you crave elsewhere. It’s just a matter of time, which is why so many marriages fail.
Indeed, 1 CORINTHIANS 7:5 tells us, “Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But what about our relationship with Christ; are we believers not His bride (EPHESIANS 5:27)?
Most Christian marriages fail because of lack of intimacy and a fight over control, not accepting their place within the relationship or their obligations within marriage.
The same can be said within church, we believers often forget our place, that we stand before the Most High and are all to bow the knee.
Just as many deprive their spouse in marriage, so many are guilty of depriving Christ.
We come together once a week on Sundays, sing a few songs, giving lip service, but much of the time, our hearts are not in it.
“Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Christ is the head of His church, as a man is the head of his wife (EPHESIANS 5:22). Just as every believer, the bride of Christ is subject to Jesus, so every wife is subject to her husband as to the Lord (EPHESIANS 5:22).
If the “bride” does not respect her husband and submit, whether in our relationship with God or in our physical marriages, we can expect the marriage to fail. The same can be said when the husband fails to be the head of his wife. We must all know and accept our place in life and walk in our God given identity.
If one is to look toward another with lust outside of marriage, which is adultery, his or her spouse has every right to divorce; just as when a believer worships another god, so our God has every right to divorce, and He is a very jealous God (EXODUS 34:14).
If we are to deny intimacy, whether we deny Christ within the church or our spouse in our personal lives, we can expect our marital relationships to break down.
Marriage is not supposed to be boring or dull and neither is our relationship with Christ.
If our hearts are not in it, there shall be no intimacy.
Intimacy is not just about sexual relations; it is quality time together, eating together, having conversation, a touch on the back of the hand, or a loving word, and it is putting our inhibitions aside and coming together appropriately and often with heart felt selfless love.
Just as It takes effort to keep our marital relationships alive and exciting, so it takes effort to keep our relationship with Christ alive and exciting.
Intimacy is not coming together once a week because one thinks he ought, or simply going through the motions for self satisfaction, or to be seen as righteous.
Genuine heart felt intimacy with Christ, just as heart felt intimacy with one’s spouse, is selfless heart felt giving and sharing, even when it doesn’t suit us at the time.
It is selflessly giving without expectation, and is key to a marriage that will withstand the test of time.
Relationship takes two, both must take responsibility for their own part.
In ministry, Christ has done his part and continues in perfection; are you doing your part?
Christ does not hold back from you, therefore don’t hold back from Him.
Make time for heart felt prayer and worship every day, and come together in assembly often.
In the same way, do not withhold from your spouse, make time for each other every day, and come together often. Be an unshared cistern for your spouse, a fountain of selfless love that flows from a bottomless well of affectionate intimacy that never stops flowing. Withholding intimacy is like throwing your spouse under a bus.
Just as we believers have become one in Christ, a man and a woman become one in marriage (MATHEW 19:6).
To abuse one’s spouse is to abuse one’s self. To cheat one’s spouse, is to cheat oneself. To withhold from your spouse, is to withhold from oneself. So why do it?
“And whatever you do to least of God’s people, you do to Christ (MATHEW 25:40), and whatever one withholds from the least of Gods people, you withhold from Christ (MATHEW 25:45).
My beloved, how much more should you bless your spouse?
The man is head of his wife and must lead her through life, as Christ is the head of His church and leads His people through life.
Just as Christ loved the church, so a husband must love his wife, and by the way, Christ died for His church.
A rebellious wife who withholds from her husband is a picture of the rebellious church, that refuses to submit to God.
Therefore, “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭22‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Whether it’s your relationship with Christ or your spouse, it cannot survive without ongoing intimacy and loyalty.
Therefore, be loyal, honest and transparent with one another
“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths. His own iniquities entrap the wicked man, And he is caught in the cords of his sin. He shall die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, “A husband should satisfy his wife’s needs. And a wife should satisfy her husband’s needs. The wife’s body does not belong only to her. It also belongs to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong only to him. It also belongs to his wife. You shouldn’t stop giving yourselves to each other. You might possibly do this when you both agree to it. And you should only agree to it to give yourselves time to pray. Then you should come together again. In that way, Satan will not tempt you when you can’t control yourselves.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NIRV‬‬
Finally my beloved, in all our relationships, continue to show deep love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins (1 PETER 4:8). It is a weapon of mass destruction against our enemies.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Godliness Guards The Path Of The Blameless, But The Evil Are Misled By Sin

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 06:52:02 GMT

Transparency Brings Peace

PROVERBS 13:6
“Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.13.6.NKJ

V

Blameless living safeguards your life, and transparency brings peace.
Every choice for good whether in our ministry, marriage, careers, and any situation at all, makes way for peace and good opportunities. Evil choices follow the same pattern but in the opposite direction.
God’s Word gives us good instruction, but one must walk in that instruction to benefit.
That little white lie that you thought would bring peace, or help you through a difficult situation, just like a tiny acorn grows into a mighty oak, and your little white lie will grow bigger and bigger until it explodes in your face.
Their will always be consequences for our actions, both good and evil, the devil is never far away looking for opportunities to tempt and crush.
Therefore,”Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
That little white lie, or harmless sin that must be ok because everyone is doing it, separates us from God and you become easy prey to the devil. “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, if you keep blowing hot air into a balloon, it will eventually burst and bring all kinds of problems.
Light always shines in through the darkness (JOHN 1:5), and will always expose the truth and overthrow the sinner; hopefully bringing him to repentance.
But the truth is, prevention is always better than cure. If you stand in obedience on the truth however painful that might be, you shall have peace.
But even then my beloved, we are all to face troubles, James said “when” not if (JAMES 1:2).
God allows troubles to mould us, to give us wisdom, and build our faith, “knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Even Job, a blameless man who was close to God and had a blessed life faced extreme troubles at the hands of the devil (JOB 1:1-5)
Satan attacked his character (JOB1:6-12), and his health (JOB 2:1-20).
He lost his property and his children (JOB 1:13-22).
The attacks on Job were barbaric, and God allowed them to test and build him more.
We are tested to prove our progress and blameless position, and just as children are tested before they can move up to the next level, we believers must be tested at regular intervals as we grow in Christ.
Not because we deserve the pain, but because it’s the only way to learn and grow, and that applied to Job too.
No matter how self righteous one may see himself, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour.
If we say, “I never sinned”, we are calling God a liar (1 JOHN 1:8-10).
We inherited a sinful nature when Adam and Eve fell to sin, and that nature needs to die, so that we can put on the nature of Christ.
God uses troubles to build and bring the change needed, and then like school teachers, He tests us.
We cannot move up to the higher levels until we have mastered the lower.
The devil is always ready and willing to bring those troubles to God’s people, he just needs a little crack in the door and he will get in.
Therefore, “Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ NKJV
Each decision one makes in obedience to God’s word will bring a greater sense of order and peace to his life; while every decision one makes in disobedience will bring anxiety, confusion, and destruction.
The right choices you make in obedience to God’s word reflect your integrity, and obedience brings the greatest safeguard and security.
The sinner hides the truth, but the
blameless are transparent, and transparency brings peace.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Says: These People Come Near To Me With Their Mouth And Honour Me With Their Lips, But Their Hearts Are Far From Me

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 06:56:46 GMT

Only The Truth Shall Set You Free

ISAIAH 29:13-14
Therefore the Lord said: “Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.29.13-14.NKJ

V

The people claimed to be close to God, but their words were fruitless; they was disobedient, and merely went through the motions, therefore, God would bring judgement upon them.
Today, just like in the days of Isaiah in many churches, religion has become a routine instead of real; people sing out of their mouths, but there’s nothing in their heart.
Furthermore, in many churches today, the preaching is more a prosperity Jesus to please man and the worship is nothing more than entertainment because church leaders have made it mans church rather than Christ.’
Jesus quoted Isaiah’s condemnation of Israel’s hypocrisy when He spoke to the Pharisees, the religious leaders of His day (MATHEW 15:7-9); MARK 7:6-7).
We are all capable of hypocrisy; it is easy to slip into patterns of routine when worshiping, or even find ourselves worshipping the worship, failing to give God our love, devotion, or even the glory.
Sadly, religion has opened the door to the spirit of religion, spiritism, and other unclean spiritual forces and principalities that hold many churches captive. People assemble believing they are worshiping Jesus, but sing their praises to a fake god.
Yes, their are Spirit filled believers in the gavering, but some leaders and worship teams operating from the flesh, place themselves high on a pedestal, while false promises of blessings pour out of their mouths to please the people, and too much time and effort is put into tithes and offerings with false promises of blessings.
The preaching sounds good, but when tested is not fully in line with God’s word and is used to manipulate rather than educate.
They are walking to satisfy the flesh and nothing good comes from the flesh.
“Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We are all responsible for our own salvation; we must all individually seek the truth and test and approve everything by testing the spirits, the spiritual source of what we hear (1 JOHN 4:1-3).
We test the spirits because we cannot trust any other source except the Holy Spirit who leads in all truth (JOHN 16:13-15).
What is written in our history books is man’s opinion or twisted truth which counts for nothing, only God knows the whole truth.
There are many books and platforms that bring information, but to discern we must test and approve by the Holy Spirit.
Without doubt, much of history has been rewritten by man with ungodly agendas. But without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to discern such things.
The meetings may “feel” good”, but that doesn’t mean they are good.” for nothing good comes from the flesh, and is often sourced by the devil and demons who like the fake media, push their lies through our emotions so we believe them, and those lies become strong holds of the mind; hence, “test the spirits”.
The devil is a deceiver and he is good at it; don’t allow him to deceive you into believing his lies.
Jesus said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The ministers operating in the flesh are some of the false Prophets and teachers of this world. They may believe they are right with God, but in reality, many are completely deceived and are unknowingly deceiving their congregation.
Ministers walking in the Spirit will tell you the truth, even when the truth is painful. They will tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear.
The only way to know Jesus and believe is through relationship with Him. Furthermore, it is through relationship and obedience with Christ that one receives and knows the truth. That is the Spirit of truth (JOHN 14:15-18; 16:13-15).
Jesus is the truth (JOHN 14:6) and it is the truth that shall set you free (JOHN 8:31-32).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Be On Guard. Stand Firm In The Faith. Be Courageous. Be Strong

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 07:01:54 GMT

Only The Ministry Of Christ

1 CORINTHIANS 16:13-14
“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭16:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.16.13-14.NKJ

As the Corinthians awaited Paul’s next visit, they was encouraged to watch and be continually alert for spiritual enemies that might slip in and destroy them through one means or another.
Pride, false theology, sin, gossip, and disorder that can slip into our lives today as it could back then, and can drag us far from God and open doors to the demonic without us even realising it.
We believers must test and approve all things for we are individually responsible to seek the truth and stand strong in our faith, that we are certain that the gospel that we are preaching and walk in, is in the truth of Jesus Christ.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We must be certain that what we believe is the truth.
Hosea tells us, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If one is sucked in by the false doctrines, teachers and prophets of today, they may be lost along with their children, simply for the lack of true knowledge.
The only way to receive truth is from the Spirit of truth. Jesus said, “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth comes only from Jesus Christ, He is the truth and He will bring the truth through the Holy Spirit in you, therefore, we must ask, what spirit is leading our teacher today? What spirit is speaking through the Prophet today, or indeed through me?
My beloved, ask God for discernment and revelation, and don’t be deceived. You are responsible for your own salvation (PHILIPPIANS 2:12).
Can you imagine on the day of judgment being told, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”
Sadly, for many who thought they were “saved,” this will be a reality. For Jesus said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Your Pastor may be knowledgeable and nice, he may preach a seemingly good word in the service, but if he’s operating from the flesh, the fruits he produces will be of the flesh and nothing good comes from the flesh (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Ministers operating in the flesh, possibly by the leading of unclean spirits and demons, preach what the congregation want to hear rather than what they ought to hear, often with encouraging prophecies that come from themselves rather than God; they stand between God and the people in an attempt to steal His glory, and entertain the people often for financial gain through the worship, preaching a prosperity Jesus.
You shall know them by their fruit. Sadly, they don’t even recognise this themselves, they believe they are right with God, but often operate out of desperation to bring in funds. This is not of God, but man’s church that operates like a business of entertainment.
Jesus put it like this, “Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭21‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He was talking not just to the religious leaders in those days, but to the prosperity church of today.
Jesus church is not a building, it is His people, the body of Christ; “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV
In Jesus church, every member of the body will fall into at least one of the five categories of the five fold ministry of God, and every member is called to be active and involved in the meetings. Furthermore, each member is led by the same Holy Spirit, and thus, unity shall be achieved.
In Jesus church, Christ works through the whole congregation, men and women alike, “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬
It’s neither male nor female, nor slave or free, but Christ in me.
This is the apostolic ministry of Christ, and with it comes the signs and wonders of God that change lives and bring healing and deliverance.
My beloved, we must be strong in the Lord to live by the leading and strength of the Holy Spirit.
Strength comes through joy (NEHEMIAH 8:10), prayer and unity, and therefore, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.”
‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Finally my beloved, to do everything with love, for without love we are nothing.
Paul put it like this, “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Let love be your highest goal, for it is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy.
Furthermore, you should also desire the special abilities the Spiritual gifts-especially the ability to prophesy (1 CORINTHIANS 14:1), for the one who prophesies strengthens others, encourages them, and comforts them (1 CORINTHIANS 14:3).
My brethren, most importantly, let love have its way, for God is love (1 JOHN 4:8).
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Finally, there are many religious organisations of this world and many false gods, but “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If it’s not Christ ministry, it shall profit you nothing.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Don't Do Your Good Deeds Publicly, To Be Admired By Others, For You Will Lose The Reward From Your Father In Heaven

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 06:44:19 GMT

Nothing Is Worth Losing Your Soul

It’s easy to give with mixed motives; to do something for someone if it will benefit us in one way or another. But Jesus, when telling us not to tell our left hand what our right hand is doing, was teaching us that our motives for giving to God and others should be pure and selfless, out of selfless love.
It’s easy to do good when we receive payment, or recognition or praise. But if our motives are pure, we will have no reason to tell others of our good deeds.
To be certain that our motives are selfless, we should do our good deeds in secret, with no thought of reward.
Jesus tells us to check our motives in three areas: Generosity (6:4), prayer (6:6), and fasting (6:18). Those acts must be God centred, not self-centred.
Our service to God and others must not be about making us look good, but rather, to make God look good, to lift Him up in honour and glorify His holy name.
The rewards God promises are not so much material, but you can be certain that however secret your actions, thoughts, and motives, good or evil, He sees them all.
The truth is, their is always consequences for our actions, both good and evil. “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭8:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If we are to keep our motives pure, we must constantly discipline ourselves, for ““The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Our hearts my beloved, being part of our flesh, and is set on satisfying its lust, must be constantly disciplined.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, those sinful lust must be put to death, so that we are free to walk in the Spirit.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ NKJV
When one is saved, God’s Holy Spirit joins with his spirit and shall remain with him forever (JOHN 14:15-18).
The Spirit manifest Himself through one’s flesh to do good works, and out of his belly/ heart shall flow living waters (JOHN 7:38).
When one slips back into sin, the Holy Spirit retreats from flesh and convicts repentance from within, and remains joined to his spiritual.
It then feels like the God has left us, like we are alone in the wilderness, until we submit and come unto repentance.
It is at that time, when the Spirit has retreated from our flesh, and the demonic are able to enter, not our spirit, for it has been made perfect, but rather they enter the flesh that shall one day perish and be changed with incorruptible bodies (1 CORINTHIANS !5:50-53) But for now, if we let them, they makes our bodies there home.

The battle is in the soul, our mind, will and emotions, but I tell you truly, nothing is worth losing your soul (MATHEW 16:26).

Like squatters they enter, and deliverance is needed to remove them.
James put it like this, saying, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Submit: Turn from the sin that let them in.
Resist the devil: Don’t not fall to his temptation, but rather turn from it, and command these devils to come out and they shall flee from you.
Having said that, keep them out, for Jesus told us, ““When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Then my beloved, the whole process starts again.
The battle between the flesh and the Spirit is very real.
Even Paul struggled with sin, not understanding himself, that he done the sinful things he did not want to do, and failed to do what he ought.
But he went on to say, that it was not him doing the sinful things, but the sin living within him that done it.
But who would deliver him from this miserable life?
As he said, thank God for Jesus, would deliver him (ROMANS 7:15-24).
My beloved, sin, including wrong motives, lets the devil in, “But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭24‬, ‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If one is led by the Spirit, he is not under the law, for Jesus paid our debt of sin, past, present, and future, and he is saved and the fruits of the Spirit shall be displayed: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, against such things there is no law.
I tell you the truth, “Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies (PSALM 41:1-3).”
What are your motives for service to God, or helping someone in need? Is your help and service a loving sacrifice? Or does your heart have a hidden agenda?
Pray: Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way of everlasting (Psalm 139:23-24).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If I Have Faith That Can Move Mountains, But Do Not Have Love, I Am Nothing

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:29:45 GMT

God Is Love

1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-3
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-3‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.13.1-3.NKJ

V

Paul’s message is clear, whatever spiritual gift you may have, whether prophecy, or knowledge or all understanding, or faith that you can move the biggest of mountains; or whatever good deeds you have done or continue to do, without love, they will prophet you nothing.
Jesus said, “On judgement day many will say to Me, ‘Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your name and cast out demons in Your name and performed many miracles in Your name.’
But I will reply, ‘I never knew You. Get away from Me, you who have broken God’s laws (MATHEW 7:22-23).
To love others is a commandment including to love and trust Jesus. You cannot love Him and trust Him without knowing Him.
Knowing anyone comes from relationship with that person; if you don’t make the effort to know Jesus today, He will refuse to know you in the future when He returns.
Make every effort for quality time with God alone every day and build your relationship with Him. If you say, “I don’t have time,” you need to make time even more.
Jesus was asked: “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”
Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments (MATHEW 22:36-40; MARK 12:3-31).
Furthermore, the command to love your neighbor as yourself, includes even your enemies (MATHEW 5:43-44).
But the truth is, without Jesus, we cannot truly love others, “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭18‬, ‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is only through relationship with Christ that one can experience the love of Christ, trust Him and ultimately, love others.
Furthermore, no amount of good deeds, nor money, nor religious acts or giving, can purchase our salvation.
It is by faith that you are saved (EPHESIANS 2:8-9) and the desire to love, serve, and help others comes as a result of faith in God and His love for us.
If you are trying buy your salvation, you have missed the point.
Love is more than a feeling or emotion, it is an action to selflessly care for others without expectation of something in return, just as Christ loves us.
The truth is, every person you meet, including every unbeliever could potentially be your future brother or sister in Christ.
To love one’s neighbor as himself, is to care for others as one cares for himself-to make others problems as important as one’s own; it is to help those in need without any kind of agenda attached-without expectation of any kind of reward.
If only everyone would make the effort to obey obey these two great commandments, this world quickly become a far better place to live.
Love is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy. If I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Is Good, He Protects Those Who Trust Him In Times Of Trouble

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 06:44:53 GMT

Only Jesus Can

NAHUM 1:6-8
“Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, And the rocks are thrown down by Him. The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, And darkness will pursue His enemies.
”‭‭Nahum‬ ‭1:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/nam.1.6-8.NKJ

V

Nahum’s message: “The burden against Nineveh (v1), was a very strong message; a message that should be taken very seriously.
Our God, is a jealous God, He will avenge His enemies, He will furiously take vengeance, and He reserves His wrath for His enemies (v2).
But at the same time, the Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, His mercies are renewed every day (LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23), and His grace falls upon all who repent. He wants no one to perish, but all to come to repentance (2PETER 3:9).
But do not be complacent; He will not acquit the wicked (v3).
No one can defy God the Almighty; He is the creator of the universe, the stars were born by His breath (PSALM 33:6). He controls the sun and the galaxies. Who could stand against Him; He who controls the rise and fall of nations?
He knows those who put their trust in Him; and for them, He is faithful; He is a stronghold in times trouble.
No situation nor problem is too big, or indeed too small for our gracious God.
Whatever your situation, however impossible, it’s possible with God (LUKE 18:37; MATHEW 19:26).
He goes before you to make way, and at the same time, goes through it all with you (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
Truly, The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous run to it and are safe (PROVERBS 18:10).
This is a very encouraging message for us believers today as we face the trials and challenges of this world; the failing financial systems, broken businesses, unemployment, restrictions upon our freedoms, and man made pestilence that we have all become victim to.
The truth is, Jesus is the only solution; “Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the only solution to the troubles of this world today; only He can turn this around, He alone uses all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes (ROMANS 8:28).
We know that evil shall increase and take the world to the great tribulation after which the Lord shall return and take back the world from the devil (MATHEW 24:29-44), and “He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This word was given to Solomon, and I believe is for God’s elite today:
My brethren, “The Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’ “But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods, and worship them, then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have sanctified for My name I will cast out of My sight, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples. “And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and this house?’ Then they will answer, ‘Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and embraced other gods, and worshiped them and served them; therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.’ ””
‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:12-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, man’s old church is finished, and Christ church is rising. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Christ is taking control of His church, separating the chaff from the wheat, and pouring out the new wine into His specially prepared wine skins (JOHN 2: 1-11; MARK 2:22; Joel 2:18-19).
Jesus time is now and as He said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
For this is the the time of new wine (JOHN 2:1-11), with the new wine, comes new powers and new freedoms, for the kingdom of God is here.
My beloved, unless it Jesus apostolic ministry, it shall profit you nothing.
Church is not a social club, it is a body of people of which Christ is the head.
We Spirit filled believers are an army of people called to battle the enemy by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
But our enemies are not people, not even those who hate us and persecute us. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus said, “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The old religious church is dead, the old wine is all but depleted. The worship may seem good, and the prophecies may seem encouraging. But there’s no real fruit; people’s lives don’t change because while the devil can prophecy, do miracles, and heal, he does so only to deceive, and he will not cast out the devils (MATHEW 12:26); they remain in the church and take the people round and round the same old time and time again, displaying the cross, but not carrying it.
My beloved, you shall know them by their fruit (MATHEW 7:15-20).
The old church has been operating as businesses in competition with one another, and leaders desperately preach a prosperity Jesus to bring in funds and the worship in many has become nothing more than entertainment designed to please people.
The Pastor/ minister controls, rather than host and shepherd’s. He shuts down everything that doesn’t support his ideals and blocks the movement of God because he rejects the words of the apostles and prophets and puts his trust is in himself rather than God.
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The church is God’s vehicle to move in the spiritual realms and fight the real enemy, the devil and his army of unclean spirits and demons.
But Jesus needs to be in the driver seat, and there is no place for back seat drivers telling him how and where to drive.
Therefore, submit to God’s leadership, allow God to bring unity throughout the whole church nation wide, and “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For We Are God's Handiwork, Created In Jesus To Do Good Works, God Prepared In Advance For Us To Do

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 07:10:58 GMT

Good Works Cannot Buy Salvation

EPHESIANS 2:4-10
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/eph.2.8.NKJ

V

Salvation cannot be purchased; no amount of money or works can buy our place in God’s Kingdom.
Works of the flesh to please God are useless, for only by faith can one please God (HEBREWS 11:8-19).
However, having received Christ, good works is established through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Only through faith in Christ Jesus can we be saved.
Jesus said, “I chose you” (JOHN 15:16).
Not only did Christ choose you, but your salvation is a “gift of God;” a free gift given to you when you was still “dead” in trespasses.
Salvation is an absolute gift of grace, and is freely given to all who accept the calling to follow Christ.
Does one say, “how much do I owe you” when he is given a gift? Of course not, the appropriate response is to receive it gracefully and say “thank you!”
Yet many Christians feel obligated after being given the gift of salvation, to try and work themselves to God.
We become Christians through God’s undeserved favor, and not as result of ability, or good deeds, or intelligent choices, or acts of service on our part.
However, because our salvation is gifted to us, our response should be of gratitude, praise, and joy; it is then we will seek to help and serve others with love and kindness out of the love that we received from Christ. We love only because He loved us; “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:17-19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
While no works or actions can help us obtain salvation, God prepared us before hand; we are His masterpiece, gifted for good works that shall be driven by the indwelling Holy Spirit, not our flesh, for we must put to death the lust of the flesh.
Furthermore, since we are God’s masterpiece, we surely should not treat ourselves or others with disrespect or as inferior or useless.
For now you are a “child of God” and the same power that raised Christ from the dead is in you (EPHESIANS 1:20-22; ROMANS 8:11); as a result, that what is humanly impossible, is possible with Christ (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26), including resurrection life and every impossible situation we face.
The truth is, you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
When one is saved, He receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, who joins with his spirit.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, as we believers submit to God’s will, the Holy Spirit manifest through our flesh, giving us the desire to do what pleases Him, and the power to do it (PHILIPPIANS 2:13), and as a result, good works are achieved by the leading of the Spirit.
Jesus put it like this, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
However, when one slips back into sin, or is held by false doctrines, or offence or un-forgiveness, the Holy Spirit retreats from our flesh and remains quiet within our spirit.
He doesn’t condemn us (ROMANS 8:1), for He knew our faults, failures, and every sin we would ever commit before gifting us with the Holy Spirit. For “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But rather, He convicts repentance and change from within.
In those times, it can feel like God as left us, like we are alone in the wilderness, but God never leaves us orphans (JOHN 14:15-18).
But however, sin does allows the devil in as God retreats, so the demonic enter, and one becomes demonised. Like squatters they enter and reside within the flesh, giving un-godly desires and cravings, addictions, fear, depression and all kinds of health issues and curses.
Sin brings us in agreement with the devil and the doors open and let them in.
The good news is, these demons are subject to us Spirit filled believers, and just like squatters, when taken before the judge, having taken away their right to enter through repentance, they must leave.
James put it like this. “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In other words, repent from the sin that let them in, and command them out, and then they shall flee from you.
Sometimes, when we are feeling useless, unloved, or discouraged, we need to remind ourselves of exactly who we really are, “God’s workmanship, His masterpiece,” and encourage ourselves by saying, “I am a child of God, and my place is to sit in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
“Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, salvation is a gift of God to all who believe on Christ Jesus; it’s a simple process that paves the way to peace and joy in the chaos of this dark world, and brings the ultimate promise of a wonderful eternal future where even death will be no more (REVELATION 21:3-4).
The journey starts with a simple prayer that commits one’s life to Christ; it is that simple.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31-39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But we all have choice; we can choose to live to satisfy our flesh, or we can live for God by the leading of the Spirit.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Overwhelming Victory Is Ours Through Christ, Who Loved Us

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 08:28:18 GMT

The Holy Spirit Joins With Our Spirit

God never promised believers a trouble free life; in fact quite the opposite. James said, “when” we face troubles, not “if” we face troubles (JAMES 1:2).”
Therefore, we believers face hardship in many forms: persecution, health, wealth, imprisonment, and even death.
Furthermore, as each day passes, the trials and challenges brought upon the people in this world is getting more intense.
Today, we are facing more and more controls, rules, regulations, and restrictions that are being mandated by our world leaders.
The world’s financial systems are collapsing, businesses are closing, unemployment is growing, as is poverty, and our health care systems are collapsing. Lawlessness and terror is rising and we are facing the threat of world war.
As a result, we are experiencing divisions within the people of the world and the church as we head toward the great and awesome day of the Lord.
My beloved, it is encouraging to know that God never stops working, and thanks be to God that He is victorious in all things.
We give Him thanks that despite seeing thousands of churches closing all around the world, He is reestablishing His church according to His plans and purposes, not mans.
Mans old church is dead and quickly fading away, despite the man pleasing glossy performances that take the place of true heart felt worship.
Despite the prosperity preaching and false prophetic promises, the old is fading away and Christ’ apostolic church is here and growing.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Every believer is to operate within at least one of the five categories, not just the Pastor, apostles, and teachers.
Therefore, it is time to operate within the apostolic and experience the signs and wonders of Christ.
It may be difficult for vicars, pastors, and church leaders to stand aside and let go of their ministry and hand over to Christ, but it is time to allow Christ to build His church.
Therefore, hand the reigns to Him and walk by the leading of the Spirit (see GALATIANS 5:16-26).
The man pleasing flesh led projects are fruitless and pointless, and their is no place on Christ pedestal for Pastors and preachers, or ministers of any kind.
It is God’s glory, and while we can soak in His glory and be clothed in it, we cannot steal it (REVELATION 21:11-13).
Church can no longer operate as a man pleasing business; it is Christ church, and He alone is the head.
The body cannot operate by the leading of the flesh, it needs the head. We all need Jesus.
Our place within the church is not a career choice, it is a Spirit led calling.
Though at times it feels like we have been completely abandoned by Christ, these verses contain one of the most comforting promises throughout God’s word. That it is impossible to be separated from Christ. His death is proof of His unconditional, unconquerable, selfless love. And through Christ, we believers, regardless of our failings, are more than conquerors through Christ, even in death, and that nothing can separate us from His love and His presence. He will not leave us orphans (JOHN 14:18).
But we have choices to walk in the Spirit or in the flesh. If one chooses his own way to satisfy the lust of his flesh, God will stand back and leave him to it until he submits to the Lord.
It is in those times that we feel abandoned and everything seems to go pear shaped.
But the truth is, when one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, He joins with our Spirit and He shall never leave us (JOHN 14:15-18).
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When we walk in the Spirit, He manifests Himself to do good works through our flesh, and out from the belly/ heart shall flow living waters (7:38), “for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When we believers go our own way, which is sinful, or fall back into sin, the Spirit retreats from our flesh and remains silent within our spirit, working within to bring conviction to change, and continues until repentance is complete.
It feels like we have been abandoned by God, like we are in the wilderness, but He never breaks His promises even when we fall into sin. He never leaves us and rather condemn, He convicts repentance from within.
Therefore, sin opens doors to the demonic to enter through the flesh and one becomes demonised/ possessed.
Many say one cannot be possessed because possession is ownership and the devil owns no one.
But actually, possession is not ownership.
If someone steals one’s car, he has possession, but when caught, is removed and the vehicle is given back to its rightful owner.
Is your body nothing more than a vehicle to operate from on this physical world?
Therefore, “Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, thank God for Jesus Christ, for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered (JEOL 2:32).
James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, submit to God, repent and sin no more, resist the devil and call him out, for he is subject to us believers in Jesus name (LUKE 10:17), and he will flee from you.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Once free, the Spirit shall continue to lead you in His righteousness to do good works by the Spirit.
My beloved, life can be challenging; But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
God is working and regardless of the damage that is being done by our corrupt world and church leaders, Christ is preparing us for these last days.
Therefore, repent, “Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Jesus way is the only way to the victory.
He is the way, the truth, and the life, the only way to our Father in heaven (JOHN 14:6).
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfils the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Give And It Will Be Given To You

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 06:44:34 GMT

Pressed Down, Shaken Together, & Running Over

LUKE 6:37-38.
“”Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭6:37-38‬ ‭NKJV‬

How we treat others will affect the way God treats us. When we give simply out of love we open the door for God to bless us; but when we give with expectations of something in return we close it.
Giving generously with a joyful heart, whether financially, or with one’s time is part of being a Christian.
We believers are called according to the leading of the Holy Spirit in us, to fund the needs of the church and do our part within the meetings and in the streets and communities.
Therefore my brethren, do as “These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God’s promise of blessings may not come as one hoped, and maybe not in this life time at all, but you can be sure that God sees all your good deeds and the blessings are piling up 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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:2-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God does not promise riches in this life time; indeed, He will not bless anyone with more than he can handle, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But however, God does promise to provide all our needs. Jesus said ““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:31-34‬ ‭NKJV‬
Forgiveness is so important, we must learn to forgive so that our Father in heaven can forgive us; if we cannot forgive others, our Father in heaven will not forgive us (MATHEW 6:14; MARK 11:26).
No one can enter God’s kingdom with any level of revenge in their heart, however small.
Forgiveness starts by looking at ourselves; does any one of us deserve God’s forgiveness? Of course not!
Yet God’s Word tells us there’s no condemnation for those in Christ (ROMANS 8:1), so who are we to condemn or bring judgement upon others?
Not one of us can truly claim to have not sinned, we have all wronged someone in our life.
If we could of truthfully claimed to of never sinned, their would of been no reason for Christ to die for us.
Therefore, every one of us is guilty of sin, of hurting someone and is in need of both human forgiveness and God’s forgiveness.
A forgiving person demonstrates God’s love, and that person has received God’s forgiveness. “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭NKJV‬
That’s not to say we must allow others to continue to wrong us, or that we must be friends with them. But rather, consider the slate clean so that there’s no condemnation or revenge in our heart, and to continue to care for them, love them as we love ourselves (MATHEW 22:37-39).
To desire revenge is to hate, and to hate is to murder (1 JOHN 3:15).
My brethren, we humans have no right to revenge for it is written “Vengeance is Mine (ROMANS 12:19; DEUTERONOMY 32:35).”
All vengeance belongs to God; He alone is qualified to judge people. Only He sees into the heart and that it is in alignment or not with His Law.
Of course, we must make judgments, for we know the difference between right and wrong, and at times are called by the leading of the Holy Spirit, to discipline others and direct them in the way of the Lord.
But to decide in our hearts, their eternal future is totally wrong .
Using the picture of a measuring jug, Jesus explains that we will all receive in abundance our just rewards for both the good and evil deeds we bring.
If we are judgemental, we will receive judgement pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
If we treat others generously, graciously, and compassionately, these qualities will come back to us in the same abundant measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
Whatever we give, shall come back to us in abundance.
God’s justice is perfect; we all face consequences in this life for our actions, good or bad.
But, however serous our sins, God went ahead of us and made way for us to receive His forgiveness and salvation by dying a painful death on a cross before we were even born, that we may legally receive His forgiveness and salvation.
Furthermore, on the third day, He was risen, defeating death once all for all time.
Regardless of how serious our sins, God has given us all a gift that not one of us deserves; that through Christ Jesus, eternal life with God is available to all; for God wants not even one of us to perish, but for all to come to Him in repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
This is not just the “Good News,” it is the amazingly wonderful “Good News!”
But to receive God’s forgiveness, we must repent of our wrongdoings, forgive others regardless of what our emotions are telling us, and believe on our Lord Jesus Christ, that He is Lord, and that He died on a cross to pay our debt of sin, and that on the third day, He was risen (ROMANS 10:8:13).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

It Is By Believing In Your Heart That You Are Made Right With God

Sat, 29 Nov 2025 06:21:51 GMT

Jesus Paid It All

ROMANS 10:8-13
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:8-13‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.10.8-13.NKJ

These verses give you a simple and yet wonderful answer to the question, “how do I become a Christian?”
Salvation is not a complicated process and is as close to you as your heart and lips.
You cannot buy it, or work for it, yet despite the level of sin you are or have been involved in, nothing can stop salvation; not one’s birth place, or physical or mental health, or one’s addictions or former beliefs, sexual orientation, or any other sin; not even one’s future sin, for there is no distinction; Jesus has already taken care of those things on the cross so that everyone can be saved.
God’s Word is more than a man written book; He is God (JOHN 1:1-5); it is more than book of man written words and is to be lived, not just read. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one takes in God’s Word and believes, He (the Word) actively works from within to change even the way one thinks (ROMANS 12:1-2) as it exposes the lies and sin that have found their way in.
“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
One may need to face the consequences of his past behaviour here on earth, but truly, it is really that simple, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, and regardless of your past, you can have a wonderful life in Christ today, tomorrow, and for the whole eternal future.
My beloved, How great is our God?
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Take Delight In The LORD And He Will Give You The Desires Of Your Heart

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 07:15:22 GMT

Feed On His Faithfulness

PSALM 37:3-5
“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:3-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.37.3-5.NKJ
V

Trust in the Lord, by being dependent on Him in every aspect of your life, and do good. Help and encourage others in their troubles and then you will live safely in the land.
It’s one thing to help someone when everything in your life is running smooth, or you have a financial abundance, but it takes faith to give when you are stretched yourself.
But what this psalm is telling us is to put your trust in God, and by His leading, do good regardless; to feed of His faithfulness by standing on His promise that He will provide all your needs.
When you make the decision to reach out to help a brother or sister in need, God will send the right help you need; He will put on someone else’s heart to help you-the right person gifted to help your personal needs. The result is, we all reach out to one another in God’s love; friendships blossom, and we Christians, who are the body of Christ, begin to work together in unity like a well oiled machine.
Furthermore, it is satisfying and feels really good when you help someone in need and their troubles are resolved.
David tells us to delight ourselves in the Lord and commit everything we have to Him.
To delight in the Lord, is to experience great pleasure and joy in His presence. We can do this when we know that person really well; thus to delight in the Lord, we must get know God well by reading His word, talking and listening to Him in prayer, developing our personal relationship with Him, and gaining understanding of His unconditional love for us that will most certainly give us delight.
To commit our way to the Lord, is to commit every part of our lives to God, to submit to His plans and purposes in all that we do and all that we have, putting all our trust in Him, delighting in His presence, and then He shall give us the desires of our hearts.
We may read this verse as a promise that God will give us anything we want. But when one truly delights in the Lord, God plants godly desires into his or her heart, and through the Holy Spirit, He empowers him or her to do His will (PHILIPPIANS 2:13).
Furthermore, since He is our creator, He knows us better than we know ourselves, He knows what will bring fulfilment, contentment, joy, and peace into our hearts. Our lives become in alignment with God to carry out His plans and purposes in our lives.
God calls us to give and help others out of love, not foolishness. Giving and helping others does not purchase our place with God-our good deeds cannot buy our salvation. Furthermore, giving must be by the leading of the Holy Spirit and not because of any other reason.
To give from the leading of your flesh or emotions may undermine the work of God in others and indeed may lead you to financial ruin, and even be damaging to your health.
Therefore, giving and helping people in need must be God’s plan, not yours, and then He will provide everything you need in that situation.
Giving is a big part of being a Christian, whether giving financially or with time, wether to the church or the needy, we are called to give joyfully.
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.” Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬-‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But however, God will not finance your foolishness.
God has a wonderful plan for each of us, to forward His ministry, draw people to Christ, and heal the sick, raise the dead, cure leprosy, and cast out demons (MATHEW 8:10), to bring peace, love, and unity into His church (EPHESIANS 4:11-16), and He gifted us all individually to carry out His good works and edify the church (1 CORINTHIANS 12:7).
“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope (JEREMIAH 29:11).
God is faithful to fund His church and projects, but it takes every member to their bit in obedience within the body of Christ with both time and money, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, that we become productive within the ministry.

Therefore, stay enthusiastic by feeding of His Faithfulness, being constantly filled with joy, which is your strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10), and strive to serve, not by one's own abilities and strength, but by the Holy Spirit within.
“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, as I told you before, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever Amen!

Call To Me And I Will Answer You, And Will Tell You Great And Hidden Things That You Have Not Known

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 07:09:46 GMT

Only Jesus

JEREMIAH 33:3
“”Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
”‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33:3‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jer.33.3.NKJ

V

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, those who call upon Him in truth (PSALM 145:18).
God assured Jeremiah that He was near, and all he needed to do, was ask and God would answer him.
Just as He was near to Jeremiah, God is near to all who call upon His name today. He wants to lead and help you into the victory of eternal life; He wants you to be dependent on Him, that even your desires come from Him.
David gave us good advise, saying , “Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In other words, trust God with your troubles, that He will send the help you need, and at the same time, reach out to those who need your help, especially those of the faith (GALATIANS 6:10).
The results are amazing, for as we believers reach out to one another, the love of Christ bonds us together and brings unity into the body of Christ (EPHESIANS 4:11-16).
However, we must walk with God in obedience to His Word by the leading of the Holy Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Paul tells us, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God is faithful to provide all our needs and more. He said, ““Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭31‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
I encourage you in these troubling days to call out to God, and He will answer you, He will show you great and mighty things. His Holy Spirit will lead, guide, and help you to do what is pleasing to Him (JOHN 14:15-18).
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:12-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Whatever struggles, trials and challenge have come your way, whatever your needs, God has both the provision and the answer; He wants to help you.
My beloved, put your trust in Him and He will go before you to make way, and then He will be with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8), He makes your impossible situation, possible (MATHEW 19:26; LUKE 18:27), for you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
You can choose your own way or you can choose Jesus way. The truth is when you choose Jesus way, you will be able to literally walk over the stormy waters in your life, and even when the noise get too loud and steals your focus and peace and you start to sink, you can be certain that Jesus is right there within arms reach to lift you out of the stormy waters and lead you back to safely and then calm the storm (MATHEW 14:22-33).
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (JOHN 14:6). Jesus way works; He made a way for you when He took your place on a cross. Furthermore, He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28).
That not some things, my beloved, but ALL things.
He is the truth; He does not lie or break any promises; He is the truth that sets us free from the curse of sin and death. For Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is the life; He joins His divine life to ours, both now and eternally; in truth, His word is the truth; He is the only way to be victorious today and the only way to the Father in heaven and our eternal future.
Life is not easy; God does not promise a trouble free life; James said, “when troubles come” not “if troubles come (JAMES 1:2)”. But the truth is, Jesus way works.
But to receive this amazing gift of life, one must apply Jesus spilled blood to their lives by believing on Him.
In view of the of severity of our sins, and we all have sinned, salvation appears impossible. “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But, no sin or situation is too great or indeed too small, for Jesus, for His spilled blood covered it all (ISAIAH 53).
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, as Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If My People, Who Are Called By My Name, Will Humble Themselves, And Pray& Seek My Face And Turn From Their Wicked Ways, Then I Hear From Heaven And I Will Forgive Their Sin & Will Heal Their Land

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 07:44:46 GMT

Repentance Is An Action

2 CHRONICLES 7:14
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
”‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2ch.7.14.NKJ

V

Solomon, in chapter 6, asked God to provide for the people when they sinned. In answer, God gave four conditions for forgiveness: Humble yourself, admitting wrong doing; pray asking for forgiveness; turn from sinful behaviour; and seek God continuously.
Those conditions haven’t changed and God is calling out the people if this world to repent.
Repentance is more than saying sorry. If one is really sorry, he or she will make every effort to turn from their sinful behaviour-they would at least try.
I am not saying it’s easy, after all much of sin is result of addiction or even cultural beliefs and even fear. But if you come to God in prayer, He is faithful to help.
Wether sin is of an individual, or group, or even a nation, following these four conditions will lead to forgiveness and restoration.
When we do our best, God will do the rest.
God always keeps His promises; He always hears the sincere prayers of His people.
In today’s world we really need God’s intervention; pestilence is rising again; our freedom of speech is systematically being taken away. Our financial systems are broken as is the world’s healthcare systems. Fear reigns over the people of this earth as nuclear war is hovering over us all around the world, and divisions are growing between the people as our world governments use the situations to “power grab.”
My beloved, we must all turn to God asking Him for forgiveness, humbling ourselves before God in repentance, and turning from the sin of this world.
My beloved, fast and pray with prayers of intersession.
Only then, as we continually seek God and join together in prayer to turn this thing around, can we restore peace and the lands we live in.
Only then will He bring healing and change.
My beloved, we are heading toward socialism and dictatorship and it’s time to with God’s help, stand up for our freedoms.
There are many different opinions of what is happening in this world today and divisions are growing. The truth is, none of us really know the whole truth nor have all the answers. “Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:16-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, He is faithful to forgive us our sins and heal our lands, but we must put our trust in Him alone. But understand, these are the last days. We can expect the stormy waters that are taking us toward the cashless society and restrictions on trade described in REVELATION 13:11-18.
We can expect persecution and unreasonable rules and procedures placed on God’s people. All these things will come to pass, but God is faithful to provide and protect us through it all. He causes all things to work together for the good of His people (ROMANS 8:28).
The devil is working hard with his agendas, but Jesus said, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
So while we see the evidence of the devil’s works in these last days we shall also the see the glory of God as He brings revival to the body of Christ, and thousands and thousands give themselves to our Lord and Saviour. God is working for His people; indeed He never stops working and the ultimate victory is ours through Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 25:57).
Therefore my beloved, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God Bought You With A High Price

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:40:32 GMT

You Are Not Your Own

1 CORINTHIANS 6:18-20
“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6:18-20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.6.19.NKJ

V

Many people think that freedom is doing what they want with their own body. But actually, the truth is, they are enslaved to their own sinful desires.
Furthermore, when one involves in sexual immorality, he or she sins against his/ her own body, contaminating their flesh which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
When we commit our lives to God, the Holy Spirit joins with our spirit (ROMANS 8:16-18) and lives in us (JOHN 14:15-17).
He purchased us at a high price when Jesus died on the cross. Therefore, we no-longer own our bodies; like slaves at an auction, we have been purchased; He bought us at a very high price with His own blood; your body is not your own to do as you like.
Christ death freed us from the wages of sin, “eternal death.” But whilst His death bought us freedom from sin and opens a door that can give us eternal life, it also obligates us to serve Him in accordance to His plans and purposes, and to obedience to Him.
If you live in a building owned by someone else, you are obligated to abide by the building’s rules.
Therefore, because your body now belongs to God, you must take care of your body and not violate God’s Laws and standards of living.
When you invite friends into your home, do you not make sure it is clean, tidy, and in order?
Surely, knowing that the Holy Spirit abides within you, you will make sure that it is a clean and pure place for Him to dwell in.
It’s important to understand that sin separates us from God and lets the devil in, including the sin of our ancestors. But James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, He will not cleanse nor fill an unrepentant person, but the choice is yours.
For we all are saved by faith alone. No one can buy or purchase their place in God’s kingdom, for Jesus alone justified one’s new life in Christ on a cross, and we are saved by His grace.
One can choose the world, or the kingdom of God, but we cannot have both.
Do you not realise that those who continue to involve in sin will not inherit the Kingdom of God (GALATIANS 5:19-21)?
Don’t fool yourselves. Those who are un-repentant and continually indulge in the sinful things of this world, those who worship idols, or commit adultery, cheet and lie, or those who are full of pride or selfish ambition will not see the Kingdom of God.
Those things must be put to death by believing on Christ and repentance, that you are “Born Again” into God’s family; “knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:6-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Thank God He is patient; that He wants no one to perish, but for all to come to repentance (2 PETER 3:9).
If you are struggling with any sin, including unforgivness, confess and give it to God in repentance! Be willing to change and ask God to help you, for He is faithful to help those who are willing and cooperate with Him.
Sin is complicated, often as a result of addiction; like a cancer it grows from within. Furthermore, we humans inherited a sinful nature and therefore we cannot change ourselves.
We find ourselves involving in the same old time and time again (see ROMANS 7:13:25).
But theirs Good News! That whilst one must make a firm decision to turn from sin toward God, we do not do it in our own power or understanding; for God sends His Holy Spirit to help us and abides in us individually with a promise that He will never leave us (JOHN 14:15-18).
Therefore, you don’t have to change yourself, not that you can, but rather, you can trust God because He loves you and will help you who believe and cooperate with Him in submission, by changing the way you think from the inside by the renewing of your mind (ROMANS 12:1-2).
He will transform you from your sinful nature to a Christ like nature.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ NKJV
We humans are made up of three parts, spirit, soul, and flesh.
When saved, in spirit, we are made perfect. “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Although the flesh remains sinful, one’s spirit is made perfect when joined by the Holy Spirit (ROMANS 8:16-18).
But a battle then starts within the soul, the mind, will, and emotions, where our decisions are made.
The flesh not willing to give up its dominion, battles against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.
When one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit, He leads, guides, and helps us in all truth to make right decisions and overcome the lust of the flesh (JOHN 16:13).
He then manifests Himself through one’s body to produce good’s works in Christ, and out of the belly/ heart shall flow living waters (JOHN 7:8).
However, when one slips back into sin, the Spirit retreats from the flesh and resides quietly within his spirit, convicting repentance from within.
But the doors of sin opened and allows the devils in and one can become demonised/ possessed and shall need deliverance.
It is impossible to walk in righteousness by the works of the flesh, but only by the Spirit of God in us.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, He is faithful to cleanse us from all sin and set us free. “And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
This my beloved is more than just “Good News,” it is amazingly wonderful Good News!
“Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”
‭‭I Chronicles‬ ‭16:34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am The Light Of The World. Whoever Follows Me Will Never Walk In Darkness, But Will Have The Light Of Life

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 06:24:00 GMT

Walk In The Light

JOHN 8:12
“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 ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.8.12.NKJ

V

“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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Word was and is God, as is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the alpha and omega, the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
They are three persons in one God.
The Father of all things, the Son, conceived by the supernatural powers of God, and the Holy Spirit-what He is, always was, and always will be.
Jesus is the light that reveals all truth, and the darkness cannot either comprehend it or overcome it.
In Him was the life, God in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6), the light of the world that reveals all truth, and Jesus is the truth that sets us free (8:31-32).
However small a light, it always shines through the darkness-the darkness of evil can never overcome it.
Christ is God (PSALM 100:3). He is the creator of life, and His life brings light to all mankind. And in His light we see ourselves as we really are, sinners in need of a Saviour.
Jesus said, “ I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6).
When we choose to follow Christ, the true light, the only way to our Father in heaven, we can avoid walking blindly in sin, He illuminates a path for us (PSALM 119:105) to follow that we can see how to live and removes the darkness of sin from our lives.
Jesus was speaking in the Treasury, the part of the Temple where offerings were placed (8:20), and where candles burned, symbolising the pillar of fire that led Israel through the wilderness (EXODUS 13:21-22).
It was in this context that Jesus called Himself the light of the world.
The pillar of fire represented God’s presence, His protection, and His guidance. In the same way, Christ brings God’s presence, protection, and guidance into our lives today through the Holy Spirit in us (JOHN 14:15-18).
He is the light of the world for all who choose to follow Him.
Just as a soldier follows his captain, so we should follow Christ. He is our commander and chief, the only way to salvation.
More than we accept the advice of a trusted counsellor, so we should trust and follow Jesus’ commands in Scripture, and more than we must follow the laws of our land, we should walk in obedience to the laws of the Kingdom of Heaven.
As children of God we must be seen as different, living in the light without nothing to hide, (transparent) being seen to be living righteously, as loving, forgiving, graceful, kind people, doing good deeds and helping the needy. For it is by doing good, living correct in God’s high standards that the light we receive from Christ shines from us like stars, illuminating all truth and leading many to righteousness (DANIEL 12:3).
My brethren, if you have nothing to hide, you shall happily stand in the light transparent and true, for transparency brings peace.
We can confess our sins or try to keep them hidden in the darkness; but truly I tell you, nothing can hide from the light of Christ. No amount of darkness can either comprehend or overcome it.
My beloved, “This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭1:5-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We believers often see sin in others, we are good at it and so quick to share it with our undisciplined tongues. But rather than point the finger at others, we must look deeply at ourselves, confess, and move on in the righteousness of Christ.
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Therefore, Accept Each Other Just As Christ Has Accepted You So That God Will Given Glory

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 07:44:51 GMT

New Wine

Romans 15:5-7
“Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭15:5-7‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.15.5-7.NKJ

V

The Roman Church was made up of people from many different backgrounds; Jews, Gentiles, slaves and free, rich and poor, strong and weak. So, just as it is today, in multi-race societies, rich and poor, strong and weak, with many different backgrounds, it was difficult for them to get along with one another or to even accept one another.
But Paul encourages us as he did back then, to make every effort to accept and get along with all our brothers and sisters in Christ regardless of race, colour, status, or background; after all we are supposed to be one family in Christ, sharing the one hope for the glory of God.
Sometimes, we shall have different opinions over Scripture and life events, but we do not need to allow those differences to bring division.
We all need to learn to give our differences to God respectfully agree to disagree, “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Accepting means taking people into our homes for assembly and fellowship, as well as into our hearts, sharing meals and activities together, and avoiding any kind of racial or economic discrimination or favouritism.
Make a point to spend time greeting those you don’t usually talk to, seeking common ground for fellowship. By this deliberate action you are accepting others as Christ has accepted you, shining like stars for the glory our Father in heaven.
Today, rather than united, many churches are in competition with one another, operating church as a business. But especially in view of the challenges facing this world today, this should not be happening.
God is calling out to our church leadership to unite with one another.
The time has come for church leadership to humble themselves before God and join together in prayer and worship by the leading of the Holy Spirit; that we come together as one body in Christ who is the head.
Already, we are beginning to see revival, but there’s a way to go as we prepare ourselves for Jesus Christ return.
In the first miracle, Jesus turned water into wine when at a marriage ceremony. Early in the ceremony the wine had run out which would bring humiliation to the family.
When Mary approached Jesus and asked Him for help, he replied, “woman, it’s not My time”.
Jesus wasn’t being disrespectful, but rather was exercising His authority over her for the benefit of future believers that would put her above Him.
Mary was just a humble servant of the Lord who was chosen to bring Christ into the world (LUKE 1:38).
She clearly knew her place, but sadly many believers saw her as above Jesus and put their trust in her rather than God.
She certainly deserved respect, but she never was and never will be above Jesus Christ, and she is powerless to answer prayers.
Furthermore, Jesus words were a prophetic sign for us believers today, for such time as this, for the wine is finished and man’s church is powerless.
Many churches have closed down or are struggling to survive; pastors and ministers are desperately trying to keep their doors open with glossy worship that entertains the congregation and people pleasing projects that are not of God, often preaching a prosperity Jesus, making promises of blessings that they have no authority to make.
Much of the leadership is walking in the flesh rather than in the Spirit, and the signs and wonders of God are not seen.
But Jesus time is now; He is pouring the new wine into new wine skins, His chosen people for such a time as this, and with it, comes new powers and freedoms.
As in the first miracle, He saved the best until last (JOHN 2:1-11).
The wine as in communion, represents the blood, and the power is in the blood.
Jesus is restoring His church to operate by His leading as He originally intended and the glory of God shall be revealed to all.
The old church, established before Jesus sacrifice, by the likes of the Pharisees, was empowered by the sacrificed blood of animals, but in Jesus true apostolic ministry, the ministry is empowered by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Jesus time is now and we are and will experience even greater things than what Jesus did when He walked the earth.
Jeol Prophesied, ““And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭28‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The time is now and God is pouring out His Spirit.
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But God is not abandoning His people caught in the old man made religious systems; He is calling them out to be part of His church where we are all one in Christ.
Every member falls into at least one of the categories of the five fold ministry of Christ and is gifted to participate in the ministry.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, every member, not just the so called leaders are spiritually gifted to encourage and edify the church.
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭14‬ NKJV
My beloved, every member has a part to play”.
We believers are all leaders and carry authority (LUKE 10:17), but Christ is the head, and all shall be led by the head.
Just as when Egypt held God’s people, the church has been held in bondage, but today is being led to the promised land and freedom.
But sadly, just as in those days, many rebelled, not willing to come out of what they made their comfort zones, so is the old church today. (EXODUS 6).
They didn’t recognise the bondage until set free.
To receive the new powers and freedoms of Christ ministry, one must first receive the new wine.
But Jesus told us, “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Today, step by step, God is revealing the truth, and as Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.””
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The new wine brings new freedoms and new powers through Christ who is our strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
My beloved, it’s no longer man’s church, or the church of Pharosees, but the church of Jesus Christ, of which He alone is the head.
The time has come for the leaders of these old religious churches to hand the reigns to Christ, to submit to God, and resist the devil, the god of this world today, and drive him out (JAMES 4:7).
“For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭26‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it’s no longer I, but Christ in me.
It is His plans and purposes, His authority, and His powers, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

His Love Endures Forever

Enter His Gates

PSALM 100:1-5
“Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.100.1-5.NKJ

V

Wherever you are in the world, you have every good reason to sing and shout praises to our God.
Therefore, make a joyful shout all you lands, may every nation glorify His Holy Name.
We are His very own
“”You are the children of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead. For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭14:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, you have every good reason to sing out praises to the Lord. He is deserving of all praise.
Therefore, when we believers come together in assembly before the Lord, enter His gates with praise and thanksgiving.
My beloved, singing out loud from the heart in praise draws us closer to God, and as His glory falls upon the worshippers, the changing atmosphere attracts others to worship and expresses our joy in the Lord, whilst at the same time sends the enemy into hiding.
Is it not a privilege to serve God in one way of another? You may not be a pastor or a prophet, but you can joyfully share the Good News, or pray for and encourage others; it’s simply, understanding one’s individual place in Christ.
Every Spirit filled believer is an individual part of God’s body, of which Jesus Christ is the head.
Furthermore, every member is to operate within the five fold ministry of Christ, and falls into at least one of the five categories, Apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelist, and are gifted with the appropriate spiritual gifts according to one’s calling.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬
No matter what place one sits within the congregation, not one person is less or above any other member, for the body requires every part to function for the body to operate correctly, and Christ is the head, and we believers are a special treasure to the Lord, above all the people of the world.
Each part carrying authority in the Lord within there own ministry and over every demonic power, unclean spirits and demons (LUKE 19:17), for the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (EPHESIANS 1:20-23)
It is the head that instructs every part of the body.
The foot doesn’t instruct the leg, the head does it. The eye doesn’t instruct the ear, the head does it; only head instructs so that all the individual parts work together in unity (1CORINTHIANS 12:8-31), for:
“There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭4‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, Know that the Lord is God; He made us, He is our creator God, our sustainer God-He is faithful to provide and He holds all things together (COLOSSIANS 1:17).
We my fellow believers, are His chosen people; His very own and He loves us.
David tells us to acknowledge that the Lord is God; we do that when we sing and shout praises to Him, when we respect His authority in every part of our lives, when we joyfully accept and agree with the guidance He gives us, when we express our thanks for His unfailing and unconditional love, and His everlasting mercy that continues through all generations.
God alone is worthy of being praised.
Do you willingly come into His presence, or are you simply going through the motions?
This psalm tells us to remind ourselves how great is our God, how faithful and dependable He is.
My brethren, hold nothing back, worship and praise Him with heart felt love and thanksgiving.
Worship is not just about singing praises on Sundays in church; our worship continues with our words and actions every day and in every part of our daily lives. Our worship is expressed through our service to God and our love for others.
Therefore my “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:7-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Show your heart felt love for God by the way you live your daily lives, lifting up your hands in total submission to His authority, regularly joining together in prayer, singing His praises in deep heart felt worship, and reaching out to all with loving kindness as we share the Good News of Jesus Christ to all who listen in the streets and communities.
My beloved, we believers are the bride of Christ (EPHESIANS 5:22-33).
Regardless of our place within the body, just as within human marriage, we must not deprive our Lord and Saviour (1 CORINTHIANS 7:5).
Intimacy with Christ comes from lone time with God and regular assembly.
It comes through love built relationship and heart felt praise and worship as the body comes together with Christ.
It’s not about being entertained or entertaining the congregation with great songs or prophetic promises of blessings to draw them in; it is about every individual member of the whole body coming together in pure uninhibited praise and worship, simply out of their love for Christ and one another.
It cannot be done in the wrong house; it may feel good, but if the Spirit of is there, it’s pointless. It may feel good, but the devil deceives.
And since we have put to death the old man we must put on the new(ROMANS 6:6).

A church led by the flesh is dead, but those who are led by the Spirit shall produce good fruits (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
The wrong house will take you the wrong way, for if it's not Christ' five fold ministry, it shall profit you nothing.
Many of those flesh led prophetic promises that draw people in because it’s what they want to hear are false; don’t be sucked in by them.
Jesus said, “Therefore, brethren ““Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, don’t be deceived, be certain you are in the right house, and “having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, “Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Will Give Thanks To The Lord

You Deserve The Glory

PSALM 9:1
“I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9:1‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.9.1.NKJ

V

Praise is an expression of appreciation of who Jesus is, an acknowledgement of His abilities and power, and approval and admiration of what God has done and is doing.
Real praise comes from the heart, it involves our whole being.
It is saying thank You for every aspect of His divine nature and lifting Him up in honour.
He is to be praised for His wonderful works and for who He is.
His name represents who He is, His works represents what He has done and is doing.
When we praise our God, our minds are opened; we help ourselves by expanding our awareness of who He really is.
Furthermore, as we praise God, we lift Him up in honor; we exalt Him, because He is worthy and deserving of all praise.
He is the name above every other name, and He is the highest, He is above all other gods.
Their is none like Him, He has no equal nor rival and He shall reign forever.
He is our creator God and our sustainer God, He is our hope and our future; He truly is worthy of all praise.
My beloved, do not underestimate the importance of the body coming together with our God.
Gatherings of worship is intimacy with Jesus, and as in our human marriage, it should never be withheld (1 CORINTHIANS 7:5).
“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10‬:‭19‬-‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, don’t limit praise and worship to church, but make time to praise Him every day in your home or wherever you are or what you are doing.
At home or at work, praise Him and let His glory fall, for there is power in the name of Jesus.
“Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place. Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth. Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. And say, “Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.” Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.”
‭‭I Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭24‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Praise and worship is powerful to change life situations. It can break curses and bring healing and deliverance as it draw Gods presence, for His presence alone destroys the enemy.
David said,“When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence. For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness. You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever. O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished. But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment. He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble. Have mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death, That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation. The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught. The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God. For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9‬:‭3‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, like David, call out to the Lord, saying,
“I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence. For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Will Praise Your Name, For You Have Done Wonderful Things

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 06:32:15 GMT

I Trust In God

ISAIAH 25:1
“O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25:1‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.25.1.NKJ

V

Isaiah starts by voicing “You are my God,” a statement of submission, Putting the Lord above all others.
“I exhalt You,” my God the highest,” I praise Your name because Your counsels (plans) of old (from the beginning) are a picture of faithfulness and true.”
Isaiah honored and praised God to glorify Him because he realised that God completes all His plans as promised; plans that He made from the very beginning and shall come to pass in His perfect timing.
Plans of salvation for all who believe in Jesus Christ (ROMANS 10:8-13).
Nothing can stop Gods plans; He has no rival nor equal, and He shall forever.
There are many plans in a man’s heart,
Nevertheless the Lord’s counsel-that will stand (PROVERBS 19:21).
Regardless of human plans, man cannot change the outcome of God’s plans; it is His counsel (His will) that will always stand.
God will complete His plans as promised; God Himself will be with His people; He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain for the former things have passed away (REVELATION 21:3-4).
Now that is a promise!!! A future of confident hope for!!! And that time is fast approaching.
God cannot lie; He completes all His plans as promised. Furthermore, He is faithful to fulfil His individual promises to all people.
I encourage you; whatever your struggle, and by the way He never promised a pain free life ; pain free is a future promise. But He does promise to make a way for you and to provide all your needs (MATHEW 6:33; PHILIPPIANS 4:19).
God goes before you to make a way and then is with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
But however, He does not take away your free will, therefore you are free to do it your own way if you so wish, but will suffer the consequences (JAMES 1:5-8). Truly, truly, I tell you that when you put your trust in God and do your best, He will do the rest, and you shall remain in peace.
Furthermore, you can be certain, however things turn out, it is for your long-term good, for He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them (ROMANS 8:28).
My brethren, He sees the whole picture, not part, and He is using your troubles for good; to build and strengthen you like an athlete in training. We all know that with no pain, there’s no gain.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is doing a good work within you; that you will be ready when Christ returns; “And I am certain that God who started a good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (PHILIPPINES 1:6).”
However impossible your situation, God wants and will help you; if you invite Him in; I assure you, your impossible situation will become possible with God (MATHEW 19:26; LUKE 18:27); for you can do all things through Christ who is your strength (PHILIPPINES 4:13).
My brethren, rather than focusing on what we don’t have, we should take the time I look back at our answered prayers and give thanks and praise to God for the every He has done, particularly His finished work on a cross, and His faithfulness and truth.
Nothing is either too big nor too small for our incredible, all powerful, Almighty God.
Their is nothing in this world that God cannot deal with; no financial issue, nor health issues, nor sin, not even death itself has a hold on God’s people, because Jesus defeated death and the stone was rolled away (MARK 16:1-7; MATHEW 28:1-7).
“”O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:55-58‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:4-7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, give praise to our awesome God; speak out the words of Isaiah for He alone is worthy of all praise:
“O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For You have made a city a ruin, A fortified city a ruin, A palace of foreigners to be a city no more; It will never be rebuilt. Therefore the strong people will glorify You; The city of the terrible nations will fear You. For You have been a strength to the poor, A strength to the needy in his distress, A refuge from the storm, A shade from the heat; For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. You will reduce the noise of aliens, As heat in a dry place; As heat in the shadow of a cloud, The song of the terrible ones will be diminished. And in this mountain The Lord of hosts will make for all people A feast of choice pieces, A feast of wines on the lees, Of fat things full of marrow, Of well-refined wines on the lees. And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken. And it will be said in that day: “Behold, this is our God; We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is the Lord; We have waited for Him; We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap. And He will spread out His hands in their midst As a swimmer reaches out to swim, And He will bring down their pride Together with the trickery of their hands. The fortress of the high fort of your walls He will bring down, lay low, And bring to the ground, down to the dust.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭25‬:‭1‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

So I Will Bless You As Long As I Live. I Will Lift Up My Hands

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 06:49:40 GMT

Glorify His Name

PSALM 63:1-5
“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water. So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63:1-5‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.63.1-5.NKJ

V

David, while hiding from his enemies in the barren wilderness of Judah, was intensely lonely.
He was in need of a friend who he could trust to ease his loneliness.
It’s no surprise that he cried out to God, “O God my soul thirsts for you.”
Most of us feel lonely at times; especially when going through troubles and tribulations. It can feel like no one cares enough to even notice.
But I encourage you, when you are feeling down and alone, or are maybe thirsty for something good and lasting in your life, remember David’s prayer, for God alone can satisfy our deepest needs.
Show your dependence on Him, lift up your hands in worship, praise Him from your mouth, and give thanks with a joyful heart.
My brethren, taste and see how the Lord is good (PSALM 34:8).
In this world today, we are facing the most fearful times in history; we have been witness and victim to manufactured pestilence, fake vaccines, and fear driven by our world leaders to put into place controls and restrictions in our daily lives.
We are facing wars, persecution, unrest, and our financial systems are crashing.
We see unemployment and the closure of businesses, the corruption is at the highest levels of world leadership, our health systems are failing and our freedoms are systematically being taken away.
But I encourage you my beloved, God is in control and He never stops working; He will never allow us to be tested more than we can stand (1 CORINTHIANS 10:13).
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭3:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God is in control, and however dark this world may become, we will always remain free in Christ. Furthermore, we already have the victory through Christ who is our strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57).
The devil may think he has victory, but the truth is, his eternal place is already decided and ““The Lord shall reign forever and ever.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭15:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
O Lord, as David said, “When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches. Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me. But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals. But the king shall rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him shall glory; But the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭63:6-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

My beloved, lift up your hands and glorify His holy name, for He alone is worthy.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

You Will Be Enriched In Every Way So That You Can Be Generous On Every Occasion And Through Us Your Generosity Will Result In Thanksgiving To God

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 07:08:08 GMT

Don't Be A Stingy Christian

2 CORINTHIANS 9:10-11
“Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
”‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭9:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.9.10-11.NKJ

V

Paul appealed to the Corinthians to give sacrificially to aid the Jerusalem congregation.
He wanted his readers to be generous on every occasion and reminded them that God is the source of everything good (9:10).
We believers are called to be generous because of the example of our Lord Jesus Christ.
There should be no such thing as a stingy Christian! Generosity is proof that a person’s heart has been cleansed of self-interest and filled with the Spirit of God. For the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (GALATIANS 5:22-23).
Our God wants to bless us; He wants us to be comfortable, but if we hold on to everything He gives us, our hands would be full and our hearts hardened and fattened in selfishness.
My beloved, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:6-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, God does not tempt us more than we can stand (1 CORINTHIANS 10:13), nor will He give us more than we can handle; that which will cause you to slip back into selfishness or indeed that which will cause you to spend or even give foolishly.
Giving must be by the leading of the Holy Spirit and not for any other reason, especially emotional blackmail.
Emotional blackmail can come from within one’s self or from others who want to manipulate people for their own personal gain.
Sadly, many ministers over reach when preaching on tithes and offerings, suggesting false promises of blessings in return.
At best this shows a lack of faith within the church leadership, desperation, or maybe selfish ambitious reaching for riches.
Foolish giving can undermine God’s work and teach people to manipulate and lie.
Tithes and offerings was a part of the Old Testament tradition, designed to help and guide believers in how much to give, and that giving applied to all believers as it does in New Testament times.
But today, we believers have the Holy Sprit to lead us in all truth (JOHN 16:13), including giving, whether to fund the ministry or help the needy.
My beloved, church isn’t the building, it is the body of people who fill it, and the burden of funding falls upon the whole congregation.
Nobody can give what they haven’t got and should always live and give within their means. “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the more wise and selfless one becomes, the more God will bless him or her. Not so much for personal gain, but that he or she might use those blessings to forward the church and bless others even more for the glory of God. Furthermore, blessings shall pile up in heaven for the cheerful giver MATHEW 6:20).
Therefore, give! Empty your hands that your Father can bless you even more. Give to those in need; share the blessings God has given you and make someone’s difficult life a little easier.
If you don’t have money, maybe you have time. Volunteer in your church, orphanage, or charity.
If you have things you don’t need or use; clothing, furniture, or anything, give it to the needy.
My beloved, don’t be a stingy Christians; that kind of Christian should be an extinct species.
In the very least we can pray blessings over one another.
My beloved, shine for Christ and your kindness and generosity will draw people to the Lordship of Christ and glorify our Father in heaven.
“For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men, and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭9:12-15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus sacrificially gave His life for you! Are you ready and willing to give sacrificially for Christ?
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Therefore, My Dear Brothers And Sisters, Stand Firm. Let Nothing Move You. Always Give Yourselves Fully To The Work Of The Lord, Because You Know That Your Work In The Lord Is Not In Vain

Death, Where Is Your Sting?

1 CORINTHIANS 15:54-58
“So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord
.”‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:54-58‬ ‭NKJV
‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/1co.15.54-58.NKJ

‬

It seemed like Satan had victory in the Garden of Eden (GENESIS 3) and at the cross. But to the glory of God, Jesus Christ turned that apparent victory of Satan into defeat when Christ rose from the dead (COLOSSIANS 2:15; HEBREWS 2:14-15). Thus, neither sin or death has a hold on us because Jesus Christ overcame it at the cross, and through Christ we will overcome all including sin, shame, and even death.
O death, where is your sting?
No longer can the law make sinners out of us just because we cannot keep it, for we believers live not by keeping the Law, but rather by faith and the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
Both sin and death has been defeated, and we have hope beyond the grave.
Does that mean we can continue in sin? Of course not, by the Spirit of God in us.
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sometimes we become discouraged about serving the Lord because we don’t see any tangible results.
But Paul tells us, because of the resurrection, nothing we do is useless; all things are individual pieces of God’s overall plan.
Knowing that Christ has won the ultimate victory should affect the way we believers live.
Don’t allow discouragement over any apparent lack of results keep you from doing the work of the Lord enthusiastically as opportunity comes.
We believers don’t always see the fruits of our labour, but God does and the blessings are piling up in heaven for you.
God will always make opportunities to reach out to people, but not everyone will be willing to listen. Furthermore, many need some kind of healing and deliverence, but not not all are willing or ready to receive.
Furthermore, no matter how many trials and challenges you have overcome, there will always be more. But God uses all them for your good, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
James tells us, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬
To be so confident in Christ that one needs nothing, would be an awesome place to be.
Furthermore, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We can choose to put our trust in God, or in ourselves or people or other gods like the star gazers and such as these.
God doesn’t take away your choices, but when one chooses his own way over Jesus way, he will in time painfully pay for it.
When we choose Jesus way, we shall in God’s timing, have the long term victory and build our faith.
If you ask God for wisdom, He will give it, but if you don’t walk in His wisdom, it will profit you nothing.
Jesus said, ““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; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When you put Christ and His righteousness first, all will be added to you. Not some, but all! You my beloved, shall lack nothing.
God will make opportunity for provision, but we believers must use the opportunity and steward that provision well, if we don’t, life will become difficult, that’s how God teaches us.
I encourage you, whatever troubles, trials or challenges you are facing right now, You already have victory through Christ who is your strength even when it doesn’t seem that way.
My beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the of the Lord, knowing that your work in the Lord is not in vain.
Furthermore my brethren, stand strong in your faith, for our Almighty God tells us in ISAIAH 41:10: “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
Truly I tell you, the victory is already yours through Christ who is your strength.
All Glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Wholeheartedly Desire To Obey

1 CHRONICLES 29:13-19
“”Now therefore, our God, We thank You And praise Your glorious name. But who am I, and who are my people, That we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, And of Your own we have given You. For we are aliens and pilgrims before You, As were all our fathers; Our days on earth are as a shadow, And without hope. “O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own. I know also, my God, that You test the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You. O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You. And give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the temple for which I have made provision.”

Even though David was king and could accumulate pretty much anything he wanted, he was conscious of the need to give, particularly to God.
How can anyone strive to accumulate, if they know what they have gathered isn’t really theirs.
The natural outcome of a right perspective on possessions is generosity.
David contrasts God’s everlasting nature with the fleeting lives of his people. Nothing, unless rooted in God’s character can last.
Since our most impressive deeds fade to dust, where should we place our confidence?
Only in a relationship with God can we find anything permanent, for His love never fades, and nothing can separate us from His love, not even death (ROMANS 8:31-39).
David understood that his real home was with God.
If a king regards himself as an alien in his own land, how much more should we?
David, resisted the temptation to regard the land as his to do with as he wished. He understood the brevity of life.
We can’t take anything with us when we leave this world, so why accumulate?
This perspective on life allows us to be transparent before God. We can remain in sync with God because we’re holding nothing from Him.
Nothing we have has real value unless it furthers God’s Kingdom, and He is more than capable of supplying all our needs.
“Wholeheartedly desire to obey” means to be totally dedicated to God. This was David’s prayer for Solomon-that above all else, his main desire in life would be to serve God.
Do you find it difficult to do what God wants?
God can give you wholehearted devotion, if you believe in Christ Jesus; He will, if you give yourself over to Him and completely cooperate with with Him, change the way you think.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, God wants to work in you, giving you the desire and power to do what pleases Him (PHILIPPIANS 2:13), to use you as a useful member of the whole body of Christ. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All we need do is listen and cooperate with Him. And since He has sent His Holy Spirit to help us individually (JOHN14:15-18), you must pray in the Spirit, hear in the Spirit, and walk in the Spirit, for those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Without the Holy Spirit we can do nothing good, for our days on this earth are as a shadow and without hope because we are all sinners and deserve God’s judgment. But by His grace He forgave us all and paid our debt of sin on a cross that we might live.
But we must receive the gift of life that Christ purchased for all people by believing in Him and receiving His Holy Spirit, who is our down payment of salvation; our guarantee of life everlasting (EPHESIANS 1:13-14; 2 CORE 1:22).
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Galatians 5:16-26NKJV
My beloved, “This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Now, our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, we give You all the glory with thankful hearts and praise Your glorious name, because you alone are worthy of all praise. Amen and amen.
‭All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For The Grace Of God Has Appeared To All People. It Teaches Us To Say "No" To Ungodliness & Worldly Passions

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 06:20:50 GMT

Live Self-Controlled, Upright & Godly Lives

TITUS 2:9-14
“Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
”‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:9-14‬ ‭NKJV‬

Slavery was common back in Paul’s day.
But Paul advised slaves and masters to be loving and responsible in their conduct (see EPHESIANS 6:5-9). Paul never condemned slavery in any of his letters.
Today, the standards set by Paul, can be a help to all employer/ employee relationships.
Employees should always work hard, show respect to their employers, doing the very best they possibly can. Colossians 3:23 tells us; Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people.
Employers, must treat their staff with Care, respect, and pay his staff a fair wage without grudge.
Christ came the first time with mercy and grace to save all people from their sins; when He returns, He will come in glory pouring out His holy judgement upon this earth, and sadly many who have rejected Christ will be lost forever.
Paul reminded Timothy that there is a special crown awaiting all who “eagerly look forward to His appearing” (2 TIMOTHY 4:8).
“Our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ” (verse 13), is one of the strongest statements of the deity of Christ in the New Testament. Understanding the deity of Jesus Christ is most important, for He who denies Christ makes himself of the enemy (1 JOHN 2:22; 1 JOHN 4:3).
We believers must live godly lives in this evil world.
We believers must be seen as different, separating ourselves from the sinful things of this world and living with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God; bringing glory to our Father in heaven in everything we do, presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.
We cannot continue in sin simply because it has become “normal” in this world.
One may consider living with a partner outside of marriage as “normal”, in today’s world, but in God’s eyes, it is still sin, and it’s what God thinks that counts.
Sin opens the door to the devil and gives him direct access through our flesh to our very souls, our mind, will, and emotions as we lose God’s protection; it literally separates us from God and gives the devil authority to take possession over areas of one’s life.
Repentance draws one close to God and brings peace.
James told us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Presenting our bodies a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God is the least we can do. Therefore, do not be conformed to this world, but rather, be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we shall come to understand what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMAN 12:1-2).
This life is not about achieving worldly gains, it is about bringing the lost back to the Lordship of Christ.
We believers are called to serve the Most High within Jesus’ five fold ministry; “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Every believer is called into at least one of those five categories and is gifted with spiritual gifts according to his calling (1 CORINTHIANS 12:8-10); not for personal gain in this world, but to serve within the body of Christ with the goal of saving souls and for the edification of the whole body (EPHESIANS 4:12).
The things of this world are tempting; we all want a nice life, a nice home, job, career, car, and so on, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but those things are temporary and shall be short lived.
Salvation is offered to all people, but not all shall receive, for the Lord said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But the grace of God had appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say no to ungodliness and world passions, and to live with self-control, upright and godly lives in this present age.
My beloved, life isn’t always easy, and you may run a difficult race. But those of you who endure, when you cross the finish line of this temporary life, shall have the victory “and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, the end is close, it’s all but over; Jesus return is imminent.
Repentance is key; that is to turn from all that is ungodly toward God; it is to submit to the Lord in all things with willingness to change and walk in obedience with God. But most of all, it is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Whatever A Man Sows, This He Will Also Reap

Be A Joyful Giver

GALATIANS 6:6-8
“Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:6-8‬ ‭NKJV‬

Paul says that students should provide the material needs of their teachers (1 CORINTHIANS 9-7-12).
Our spiritual leaders and teachers have financial and physical needs just like everyone else, and many have willingly given up their time and ability to work and earn a reasonable living so that they can serve God.
It is easy to receive the benefits of good Bible teaching and assembly and then take our spiritual leaders for granted, ignoring the cost of operating the church and their financial and physical needs.
Tithes and offerings were very important in Old Testament church, for believers were not Spirit filled and therefore needed guidance of how much to give.
But in today’s church, we are blessed to be led by the Holy Spirit, and should give according to His leading.
Giving is a very important part of our faith and should not only care for the homeless and needy, but also the cost of running church, not grudgingly or reluctantly, but with a generous heart, showing honor and appreciation for all they have done (1 TIMOTHY 5:17-18).
We are one body in Christ, and all have a responsibility to contribute both time and finance according to one’s ability to operate the church.
Giving to your local church is very important, they cannot operate without funding.
But that is not an excuse for church leaders to use God’s word to manipulate the congregation with false promises of blessings or by emotional blackmail.
Given is important, but must be Spirit led.
To give outside of the leading of the Spirit, may undermine God’s work in others and bring poverty on one’s self.
The devil is very happy to encourage God’s people to give more than they can afford and break their finances.
My brethren, whether money or your time, give generously with a joyful heart according to the leading of the Holy Spirit in you.
God does not promise riches nor a trouble free life on this earth. But truly I tell you, God sees your every good deed and the blessings are piling up in heaven where neither moths nor rust can destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal (MATHEW 6:20).
We shall certainly harvest what we sow.
It would be a big surprise if you planted corn and potatoes came up.
It is natural law to harvest what we sow.
The same applies in our everyday lives too; if you gossip, You will lose friends, but if you show love, care, and respect, you shall gain friends.
If you sow in the flesh, you shall reep of the flesh, but if you sow in the Spirit, you shall reap in the Spirit.
My beloved, we can produce nothing good in the flesh except to satisfy the lust of the flesh (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Love is a weapon of mass destruction against the enemy; it is the way to win friends and influence people, which is so important to the work of sharing the good News.
It is love combined with the signs and wonders that shall draw others to the Lordship of Christ.
It is shining for Christ that initially draws people to you.
Living right, operating in the Spirit with love shall produce a wonderful harvest of good fruits, including many new born “Born Again” believers in Christ.
Every single action has a consequence; you will harvest what you sow.
If you plant to please your sinful nature and desires, you will harvest a crop of sorrow and evil. If you plant seeds to please God, you will harvest joy, contentment, peace of mind, and everlasting life.
But to sow to please God, one must sow in the Spirit, for nothing good comes from the flesh; the fruits of the flesh are not good.
Every issue we face, whether sickness, poverty, finances or curses, are sourced in the spiritual realms and justified by sin, so it makes sense to pray in the Spirit (EPHESIANS 6:18; JUDE 1:20).
Jesus paid it all, justifying good health, peace, joy, and life everlasting. But we must walk in the truth of the Spirit and believe to receive.
But my beloved, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all have choice; we can live to please the flesh and reap of the flesh, or we can live to please the Spirit and reap of the Spirit. The choice is to walk in the Spirit or to satisfy the flesh.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4:12-16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Surely my beloved, “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭2:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It’s easy to talk the talk, but now we believers must walk the walk and humbly follow the loving examples of Jesus Christ.
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen.

The Grass Withers & The Flowers Fall, But The Word Of The Lord Endures Forever

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 07:19:41 GMT

By Faith Alone

1 PETER 1:22-25
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because “All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1:22-25‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1pe.1.22-25.NKJ

V

My beloved, we must show each other “sincere love.” This involves selfless giving, caring for others needs as one does his own needs without expectation of something in return.
A self-centred person cannot truly love.
God’s unconditional selfless love and forgiveness frees you to take your focus of yourselves and reach out and meet the needs others.
To love is a commandment (MATHEW 22:34-40; MARK 12:29-31), and all the Law and the Prophets hang on that one command.
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By sacrificing His own life, Christ showed His love and faithfulness to you; “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Now you can follow His example, by loving others unconditionally, and giving yourself sacrificially.
Quoting ISAIAH 40:6-8, Peter reminds us believers that in this life everything will eventually fade away; possessions, accomplishments and people will disappear. Only God’s will, Word, and work are permanent.
We believers must stop grasping at the tempory and begin to focus our time, money, and energy on the permanent, the Word of God and our eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Money, status, and all material things are temporary; like grass they will fade away; they cannot give continuous joy.
Money cannot buy happiness nor anything eternal; your status has no place in God’s kingdom, for we are all one in Christ, and Christ is the head.
That new car will soon be outdated and will give way to the elements and rust away. Furthermore, we cannot take a single thing with us from this earth; “We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us.”
Ecclesiastes 5:15 NLT
Does that mean we believed shouldn’t have a nice car, home, or money in the bank? Does that mean we shouldn’t have a prestigious job or comfortable life style? Of course not, but we must hold lightly the blessings of God and not allow them to become too important to us.
The blessings God pours out come with opportunities and we must steward them well for God’s Kingdom and His glory.
Giving to the needy or indeed any good works cannot purchase one’s place in heaven, but with it comes reward that money cannot buy.
Nothing is more rewarding than to help someone in need.
Furthermore, “The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But giving must always be by the leading of the holy Spirit; a fool and his money are quickly parted. Furthermore, giving from the flesh can undermine God’s work and bring poverty on one’s self.
One may not be in a position to give financially, but we can all make time to lift others up in prayer.
Ones flesh remains corruptable, and like grass it shall wither away, and our personal accompaniment shall fall away like flowers, they are irrelevant to our eternal future, but being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible through the word of God which lives and abides forever, your eternal future is sealed by the in-parting holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of one’s eternal future (EPHESIANS 1:13-14; 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22).
My beloved, when one receives the gift of the Holy Spirit as promised in Acts 2:38:39, the Spirit of God joins with his spirit (1 CORINTHIANS 6:17), for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, your eternal future is sealed, not by your own powers, good works or achievements, but by faith.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭14‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Having received and walking in the leading of the Holy Spirit, He manifest Himself through one flesh to do good works in Christ and produce good fruits (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
‭Therefore my brethren, ““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When one slips back into sin, the Holy Spirit retreats from the flesh and resides with our spirit, which allows the demonic to enter his flesh and he becomes demonised or possessed.
It feels like He has left us, that we are alone in the wilderness. But He will never leave us (JOHN 14:15-18), but rather works from within, not to condemn, but to convict one to repent.
James tells us, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To submit to God is to come to Him in repentance, turning from sin to walk with Him.
To resist the devil, is to verbally call these demons out, then they shall flee from you and you are free.
Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Not free to continue in sin, but free to serve the Most High and receive all the promises of God.
But, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

As The Waters Fill The Sea, The Earth Will Be Filled With An Awareness Of The Glory Of The Lord

Revival Is On The Way

HABAKKUK 2:9-14
“”Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster! You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul. For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the beam from the timbers will answer it. “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.

The riches of Babylon had come from the misfortunes of others, but the truth is, these riches were merely the fuel for the fire.
The victims and their cities would cry out against Babylon.
Money in itself is not evil, but the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil (1 TIMOTHY 6:10).
God condemns the love of riches and the evil ways of acquiring them.
In this world today, we are witnessing corruption at every level in our governments, world leadership, and in much of the church.
Leaders have abused their position merely to line their own pockets and to gain power over the people. Furthermore, the false prophets of this world (much of the media) are hiding the truth and replacing it with proper gander. It seems there’s nothing they won’t do to achieve their selfish ambitions which is planned and executed by the demonic (EPHESIANS 6:12).
Today, as a result of the growing corruption, we see our world is becoming a very dark place; our world financial systems are collapsing, along with our healthcare, anxiety/ depression and suicides are increasing, unreasonable rules and regulations are being put into place, and even manufactured pestilence was used for purpose of fuelling fear all around the world and used as a “power grab”.
Furthermore unhealthy vaccines and medications along with a host of unnecessary restrictions are being forced upon the people world wide.
It seems that world population is being deliberately decreased as our world leaders to take us toward socialism and the cashless society as described in REVELATION 13:15-18.
But however, I encourage you, God is in control, and we believers can stand upon His promises of protection and provision.
Furthermore, He is revealing truth to all peoples before He returns to bring His righteous Judgment upon the earth; for He wants no one to perish, but for all to turn to Him in repentance ((2 PETER 3:9).
God is reaching out to all people to bring revival to His church and many shall turn to God in the coming days.
“For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, we all want a nice life, nice things, nice house, car, and a good life style, their is no problem with that.
God wants us to have blessed lives; but be careful not to allow your hunger for riches steal your appetite for God.
Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Not some my beloved, but all.
Neither money, status, or any material thing can take the place of God, family, or friends.
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”
‭‭Micah‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, don’t allow the love of the things of this world steal your soul. “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. “Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:26-28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is very encouraging to know that the knowledge of glory of the Lord is to fill this earth as people are awakening to the truth.
But with the truth, there is today a call upon God’s people to repentance.
My beloved, there is no place for luke warm in these last days (REVELATION 3:14-22).
“”Now, therefore,” says the Lord, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him— A grain offering and a drink offering For the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭12‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Will Be King Over The Whole Earth

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 06:38:06 GMT

Be Ready! The End Is Near

ZECHARIAH 14:9-10
“And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The LORD is one,” And His name one. All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭14:9-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
https://www.bible.com/114/zec.14.9-10.nkjv

This chapter (verses 1-21) portrays the Messiah’s eventual triumph over all the earth and His reign over God’s people.
Though the chronology order of these events is not clear, they show God has many ways of dealing with His people.
Zechariah 14:9-10 describes a future time when the Lord will be king over the entire earth, and His name will be known by all as the name above every other name.
In that day, the land surrounding Jerusalem shall become a plain, while Jerusalem will be raised up and securely inhabited, no longer to be destroyed.
The Lord will be king over all the earth, and His name will be recognized and worshipped by all.
This signifies a time of singular, unified worship and a rejection of idolatry.
The entire landscape will be changed, with the area south of Jerusalem from Geba to Rimmon becoming a flat plain.
Jerusalem itself will be elevated and will remain in its place, enlarged to a great size from the Benjamin Gate to the Corner Gate.
The city will be permanently secure and no longer subject to utter destruction.
Today, as we look on, we can see the end events unfolding-our world leaders are taking us into the direction of the cashless society and the mark of the beast (REVELATION 13:11-18).
My brethren, it’s all but over.
Thank God, He is faithful to provide an escape for His people.
Jerusalem is the city of God and the focal point of all the world’s worship.
Jerusalem’s honour and elevation dramatically shows God’s supremacy over all. He has no equal, no rival, and His name is above every name; He will reign forever and every promise He has ever made shall come to pass.
My beloved, that day is fast approaching and it is encouraging to know that “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But the question is, are we ready! “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:38-44‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Be prepared for the hour is fast approaching.
Jesus said, “”Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭32‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But what are these things? And when did they start?
Jesus said, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It’s not difficult to understand that Nation will rise against nation was the beginning of sorrows which started in 1914 with the First World War.
Furthermore, Jesus told us, “Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
One hundred and eleven years later this generation is close to finish, yet this generation will by no means pass away until all these things take place.
My beloved be ready, whilst planning in wisdom for tomorrow, live each day like it is your last; for “the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers, “And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

By His Stirpes You Are Healed

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 06:25:46 GMT

Jesus Covered It All

1 PETER 2:18-25
“Servants, be submissive to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh. For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: “Who committed no sin, Nor was deceit found in His mouth”; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
”‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:18-25‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/1pe.2.18-25.nkj

v

Many believers in those days were household slaves
It would of been easy to submit to masters who treated them kindly, but Peter encouraged loyalty and perseverance even in the face of unjust treatment.
In the same way, we should submit to our employers whether they are kind and considerate or harsh, working as if working for the Lord, “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By doing so, others may be won over to Christ by our good example.
Paul gave similar advice in his letters, (see EPHESIANS 6:5-9, COLOSSIANS 3:22-25), as did Jesus (MATHEW 5:46, LUKE 6:32-36).
We may suffer for many reasons, sometimes as a result of our own sin and foolishness and their is no credit in that. But Peter is writing about suffering that comes as a result of living for Christ which is commendable before God.
Jesus never sinned, and yet he willingly suffered so that we could be set free. Jesus' suffering was a part of God's plan to save us (MATHEW 16:21-23; LUKE 24:25-27, 44-47; MATHEW 20:28, 26:28).
All who follow Jesus must be prepared to suffer (MARK 8:34-35), for suffering takes us through the fire and removes the impurities. “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Furthermore, we should face suffering as Christ did, with patience, calmness, and confidence, knowing that God is in control and won't let us down.
Christ died for our sin; He took our place on a cross so we wouldn't have to suffer the ultimate punishment we deserve-eternal death.
My brethren, since He willingly suffered to give us the opportunity of life, is it not right that we as God's very own chosen people, live for Christ, even if that means suffering?
Paul said, "For me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better." (PHILIPPIANS 1:21).
We believers all have purpose, to worship our living God, to love one another other, and to share the Good News, and support one another, working together in unity, having one mind and purpose (PHILIPPIANS 2:2).
We believers are the body of Christ of which He is the head(EPHESIANS 4:11; Colossians 1:18).
But to achieve God’s purpose in life, our very nature needs be transformed through love from selfish to selfless.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Maybe you are suffering right now. I encourage you, whether your struggles are because of sin or foolishness, or as a result of living for Christ, God loves you, and he knows about your suffering.
We are all sinners in need of a Saviour and must come to Christ in repentance.
Therefore, “Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, no matter how impossible you’re situation, it is possible with God (LUKE 18:27; MATHEW 19:26). He already went before you to prepare the way, and is with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The victory is already yours through Christ who is your strength (1 CORINTHIANS 15:57), and by His stripes you are healed (1 PETER 2:24; ISAIAH 53:5).
Through Christ you can have authority over all sickness, poverty, all addictions, shame, guilt, every curse and even the demons (Mathew 10:8; LUKE 10:17).

My beloved, Jesus covered it all, But, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬
My beloved, it was “By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Enoch, like everyone else was a sinner, to suggest not is calling God a liar (1 JOHN 1:10).
Yet because of his faith he did not see death and remained pleasing to God.
Today nothing has changed; it is only by faith that anyone can be pleasing to God. It is only by faith that one can be saved from the curse of death (Romans 10:9-13).
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, faith does not make life easy; but it makes all things possible and brings with it , joy and peace in the chaos of this world, and ultimately, life everlasting.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If We Confess Our Sins, He Is Faithful And Just And Will Forgive Us And Purify Us From All Unrighteousness.

Walk In The Light

1 JOHN 1:5-10
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us
.”‭‭I John‬ ‭1:5-10‬ ‭NKJV
‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/1jn.1.5-10.NKJ

‬

V
Light represents what is good, pure, and holy. Darkness represents what is sinful and evil.
The statement, "God is light" means God is holy, true, and that He alone can guide us from the darkness into the light.
Light is related to truth, and that light exposes the truth whether good or evil.
In the dark, good and evil look alike, but in the light, they can be clearly distinguished, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Just as darkness cannot exist in the presence of light, sin cannot exist in the presence of God.
No matter how great the darkness, it cannot snuff out the light-it exposes all truth.
If we are to have good relationship with God, we must put aside our sinful way of life, repent and turn to God.
How can we claim to belong to God, and go on living sinful lives?
No one can deceive God, and He will expose and judge all deceit.
The Good News is, if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive.
He is just because He sent His only begotten Son to take our place on a cross and paid our penalty of sin with His own blood. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬
John was confronting claims of false teachers, that we could have fellowship with God and go on living in spiritual darkness.
False teachers thought that the physical body was evil or worthless, and taught one of two approaches to behaviour.
They insisted on denying bodily desires through rigid discipline, or they approved of gratifying every physical lust because the body was going to be destroyed anyway; obviously, the second approach was more popular.
John is saying, we can't claim to be Christians and continue to live evil and immoral lives.
By living in the light, confessing our sin in repentance; that means being willing to change, Jesus cleanses us from all sin; He took yours and my place on a cross and died a criminal’s death that we are justified.
We inherited sin from Adam and Eve in the beginning (ROMANS 5:12), and have a natural tendency towards sin.
Sin is complicated, often as a result of survival, false beliefs, culture, habit, addiction and even possession, and therefore we can't possibly change ourselves, we need the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18).
Furthermore, not only have we inherited sin from our ancestors, we pass on our sinful ways to our children. Only by total submission to God and allow Him to change the way we think, can we be made right with God and be transformed into the person God created us to be.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, we as individuals must put into practice our new nature in Christ-the old must be gone. “For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:5-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you think that you never sinned, you are calling God a liar. Therefore, we must remove all pride and be willing and desire to change from our old sinful life to God’s way of holiness as He teaches and strengthens us to stand firm against all sin.
We can only do this by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit in us (JOHN 14:15-18).
If one lives in the light, he or she has nothing to hide, but if one lives in the darkness of sin, he or she will have much to hide and it will be exposed in time.
Confession takes away the devil’s hand, he can no longer hang your sin over you, and therefore you are free to live for Christ without shame because your debt has been paid in full by the blood of Jesus.
Transparency brings peace because in transparency one hides nothing and is living in the light.
Therefore, submit to God in repentance daily, not because you deliberately sinned, but because you may of made a mistake.
We cannot live right without the Holy Spirt, but we do need to cooperate with Him.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, only then can the light of Christ shine from you.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

God Is Not Unjust; He Will Not Forget Your Hard Work And The Love You Have Shown Him As You Have Helped His People And Continue To Help Them

Sat, 08 Nov 2025 06:30:52 GMT

Don't Be An Unproductive Christian

HEBREWS 6:7-12
“For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises
.”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:7-12‬ ‭NKJV
‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.6.7-12.NKJ

‬

V
Real seeds, (the gospel) given genuine care by the farmer, (God) and planted in a fertile field (your heart) and will produce a bountiful crop (spiritual maturity).
Weeds (temptations and false teachings) threaten to overwhelm the crop.
If the field only produces weeds, the seeds will be lost and the field ruined.
God has given us every provision (His word, and the Holy Spirit), which are watered by the grace of God with clear and abundant teaching and preaching.
What excuse do you have to be an unproductive Christian?
Don't be a Christian in name only, make sure that your life is bearing good Christian fruits.
Be mindful of what you are taking in through the media and church teachings; their are many false teachings and temptations, and even Spirit filled teachers make mistakes.
The devil is determined to poison you with his lies which ever way he can.
Test the spirits and approve everything directly with God and His Word (1 JOHN 4:1-3), and do not allow your eyes to look at the unclean things of this world.
Life isn't always easy; God never promised it would be, but don't get discouraged, thinking God has forgotten you.
You can rest assured, He is never unjust; He never forgets or overlooks the hard work you do for Him.
My brethren, in this present time you might not be receiving rewards, but God knows your efforts of love and ministry.
Maybe you are working hard but nothing appears to be moving; it might seem like you’re ministry has become stagnant.
But let God's love for you and His intimate knowledge of your service for Him encourage you as you face disappointment and rejection here on earth.
When seeds are planted their is always a long process before we see the fruits of of our labour. But everything has its season and God controls the timing not you (ECCLESIASTES 3)
So therefore patiently wait on the Lord .
David told us, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Hope keeps you from becoming lazy and bored; therefore keep focused on the reward; eternal life in paradise heaven.
Like an athlete, train hard and run well, remembering the reward lies ahead (PHILIPPIANS 3:14).
My beloved, you cannot build your ministry in your own strength, and good fruits will come when you hand the reigns to Jesus and walk in the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Works of the flesh are dead, but the fruits of the Spirit will bring growth, joy, and peace, that is God’s peace that surpasses all understanding and shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
Truly I tell you again and again, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

He Took The Humble Position Of A Slave And Was Born As A Human Being

Every Knee Should Bow

PHILIPPIANS 2:5-11
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
”‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:5-11‬ ‭NKJV‬

Jesus Christ was more than humble; although He was God, He gave up His devine privileges as something to cling to while on this earth in order to obey God and serve people.
His ultimate goal was to save His people from the consequences of sin.
Like Christ, we should have a servants attitude; serving out of love for God and others, but not out of guilt or fear or selfish ambition.
You can choose your attitude-you can approach life expecting to be served, or you can look for opportunities to serve others.
The Incarnation was the act of the pre-existent Son of God voluntarily assuming a human body and nature, without ceasing to be God.
He became a human being. But He did not give up his deity to become human, but set aside His right to His glory and power, in submission to the will of the Father.
Jesus limited His own knowledge and power, and was subject to place, time and other human limitations, and was totally dependent on God the Father.
Just as He calls us believers to live by faith , He Himself lived by faith alone.
That is the example of perfection that we believers must follow.
What made His humanity different and unique was His freedom from sin.
In His full humanity, Jesus showed us everything about God's character that can be conveyed in human terms.
People often excuse selfishness, pride or evil by claiming their rights, "I can spend all this money on myself-I worked for it," or, "I can have this abortion, I have a right to control my own body."
“This is my body and I can choose my own sexuality”
Really! Didn’t God create you with purpose? Not your own selfish desires, but His perfect plan of life.
The truth is my beloved, we are all sinners and have no rights.
But we believers should have a different attitude, one that enables us to lay aside what we assume as our own rights in order to serve God and others.
Following Christ, is living as He lived.
We should develop His attitude of humility as we serve, even though we are not likely to get recognition for our efforts.
Death on a cross was the form of capital punishment that Romans used for notorious criminals; it was extremely painful and humiliating.
Prisoners were nailed to a cross and left to die; death often came several days after by suffocation when the weight of the weakened body made breathing more and more difficult.
Jesus died this painful, humiliating death on a cross as one who was cursed (GALATIANS 3:13), to pay the debt of the world, and He never sinned.
How amazing it is that the perfect man, our Almighty God in human form should die this most shameful, humiliating death, so that we would not have to face eternal punishment.
But however, “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus is the ultimate Judge and knows that every single one of us is guilty and deserves the death sentence.
But He, out of love for His people came into the world as a human being and took our place on a cross. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.””
‭‭John‬ ‭3:16-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
At the Last Judgment, even those who are condemned will recognise Jesus authority and right to rule.
People can choose to commit their lives to Jesus as Lord or not, but the day is fast approaching when all will acknowledge Jesus as Lord of Lords and King of kings when He returns (1 TIMOTHY 6:25; REVELATION 17:14), “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Are you really ready for Jesus Christ return?
So many talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.
They have one foot in God’s Kingdom and one in the world. Jesus said, ““No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:24‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6:14-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, be ready-don’t miss the boat as did those in the days of Noah. Jesus return is imminent!
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

As The Scripture Say, "People Are Like Grass, Their Beauty Is Like A Flower In The Field. The Grass Withers And The Flower Fades

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 06:39:07 GMT

Focus Your Thoughts On Things Above

My beloved, we must show each other “sincere love.” This involves selfless giving, caring for others needs as one does his own needs without expectation of something in return.
A self-centred person cannot truly love.
God’s unconditional love and forgiveness frees you to take your focus from yourselves and to reach out and meet the needs others.
To love is a commandment (MATHEW 22:34-40; MARK 12:29-31), and all the Law and the Prophets hang on it.
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
By sacrificing His own life, Christ showed His love and faithfulness to all people; “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Now you can follow His example, by loving others unconditionally, and giving yourself sacrificially.
Quoting ISAIAH 40:6-8, Peter reminds us believers that in this life everything will eventually fade away; possessions, accomplishments and people will disappear. Only God’s will, Word, and work are permanent.
We believers must stop grasping at the tempory and begin to focus our time, money, and energy on the permanent, the Word of God and our eternal life in Christ Jesus.
Therefore my beloved, “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Money, status, and all material things are temporary. The cannot give continuous joy nor peace.
Even the bodies we live in, like grass they will fade away.
Surely then, we thank God, “For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬, ‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭50‬-‭58‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Money cannot buy happiness nor anything eternal; your status has no place in God’s kingdom, for we are all one in Christ, and Christ is the head.
That new car will soon be outdated and will give way to the elements and rust away; and anyways, we cannot take a single thing with us from this earth; “We all come to the end of our lives as naked and empty-handed as on the day we were born. We can’t take our riches with us.”
Ecclesiastes 5:15 NLT
Does that mean we believers shouldn’t have a nice car, home, or money in the bank? Does that mean we shouldn’t have a prestigious job? Of course not, but we must hold lightly to the blessings of God and not allow them to become too important to us.
The blessings God pours out come with opportunities. Therefore, we must steward them well for God’s Kingdom and His glory.
Giving to the needy or indeed, nor any good works cannot purchase one’s place in heaven, but with it comes reward that money cannot buy.
Nothing is more rewarding than to help someone in need.
Furthermore, “The generous soul will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered himself.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But giving must always be by the leading of the holy Spirit, for a fool and his money are quickly parted. Furthermore, giving from the flesh can undermine God’s work in others and bring poverty on one’s self.
One may not be in a position to give financially, but we can all make time to serve in other ways, and to lift others up in prayer.
Ones flesh in this life remains corruptable, and like grass it shall wither away, and our personal accompaniment shall fall away like flowers, for they are irrelevant to our eternal future.
But being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible through the word of God which lives and abides forever, your eternal future is sealed by the in-parting holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of one’s eternal future (EPHESIANS 1:13-14; 2 CORINTHIANS 1:22).
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
‭Therefore my brethren, ““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:19-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

As The Waters Fill The Sea, The Earth Will Be Filled With An Awareness Of The Glory Of The Lord

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 06:32:49 GMT

He Saved The Best Till Last

HABAKKUK 2:9-14
“”Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the power of disaster! You give shameful counsel to your house, Cutting off many peoples, And sin against your soul. For the stone will cry out from the wall, And the beam from the timbers will answer it. “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed, Who establishes a city by iniquity! Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts That the peoples labor to feed the fire, And nations weary themselves in vain? For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.
”‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:9-14‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/hab.2.9-14.nkj

v

Many people of status, celebrities, world leaders in both governments, and the church, gained their riches and power, as did Babylon, by the misfortunes of others. But like Babylon, these riches only fuel fire for the fire.
The victims back then would cry out against Babylon for justice and the same is happening today. People are waking up to the truth.
Money in its self is not evil, but however, God condemns the love of money. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Today, we are living in a very dark world, where money and power have dragged many into the pit of sin.
But the truth is, God’s light shines in the darkness and true Justice will come; “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬ ‭NKJV
My brethren, all people are to face the consequences of their actions, both good and evil.
God is separating the chaff from the wheat (see MATHEW 3:12)-removing the corrupt from their high seats, and will restore to those, that which was stolen from them. “For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea. “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor, Pressing him to your bottle, Even to make him drunk, That you may look on his nakedness! You are filled with shame instead of glory. You also—drink! And be exposed as uncircumcised! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will be turned against you, And utter shame will be on your glory. For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you, And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid, Because of men’s blood And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. “What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it, The molded image, a teacher of lies, That the maker of its mold should trust in it, To make mute idols? Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’ Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, Yet in it there is no breath at all. “But the LORD is in His holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before Him.””
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:14-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, the Lord is shaking this earth and exposing corruption on a level never seen before.
The liars, the cheats, and the false prophets are about to face the consequences of their actions.
But the Lord has given us ropes to hold onto that we may remain standing throughout the storm, but long enough that the corrupt shall surely hang themselves.
The lies and deceit in this world is being systematically exposed.
Therefore my beloved, hold firm as the Lord shakes His house, for the Lord says, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭41:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
In this world today God is closing doors that no one can open and opening doors that no one can shut.
He is bringing change within the body of Christ; closing the old churches put together by the likes of the Pharisees, but birthing the new, moving His servants around, re-locating some and removing others.
The Lord has been preparing His elect for new wine.
But Jesus said, “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The first recorded miracle, Jesus turned water into wine.
“On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece. Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it. When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom. And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!””
‭‭John‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The first miracle was a sign for such a time as this, for Jesus hour had not come.
The six water pots represent man today.
The old church, empowered by the blood of animals is dead.
But today, the new is here, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 13:8).
This is the new wine, the ministry of Christ Jesus, “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
What comes with new wine is new freedoms and powers, for the power is in the blood.
Jesus told us back in the times of old, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He is putting new wine into new skins and both will be preserved. With it shall come new power that shall glorify our Father in heaven and the signs and wonders shall follow.
Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Jesus hour is is upon us and the new wine is being poured out; the old has gone and the new is here.
With new wine comes new powers, new miracles and revival will come to the church like never before.
Just as Jesus kept the good wine until last in the first miracle, He has kept the best until last for such a time as this.
We are seeing the rise of the new church, with new powers, for the old has gone and the new is here. Revival is inevitable , “For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
I encourage you again, that even in these uncertain times, where we have faced all kinds of unreasonable rules, restrictions, and mandates, and as we witness the collapsing of our monetary systems businesses, farms, jobs, and health care systems, which are the works of the devil, to repent of the past and stand firm on the promises of God, for He is faithful and true.
“Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, And pity His people. The Lord will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. “But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things.” Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the Lord has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭18‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Jesus Christ Is The Same Yesterday, Today, & Forever

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 06:09:05 GMT

Grace, Justified By The Blood

HEBREWS 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/heb.13.8.nkj

v

There have been some great human leaders, but there is not one like Jesus Christ-His plans have never changed-He is the ultimate eternal leader, and all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him (MATHEW 28:20).
Evil demonic powers, demons, spirits and even people may try to rise above Him, but however, there are none like Jesus-He has no equal nor rival, His name is above every other name and He shall reign forever.
“There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’s counsel—that will stand.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Just as nothing can stop the coming judgements of God upon this earth, nothing can stop the victory we have in Christ in this life nor the next.
Nothing can stop the promise of eternal life through Christ for all who believe in Him shall be saved (ROMANS 10:13).
He is God, and 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. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He does not and cannot lie; we can stand with confidence on His promises.
Unlike humans who constantly break promises and change direction, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
His plan was perfect from the beginning and shall remain perfect throughout the whole process.
“Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many believe their good deeds and religious acts will buy their place in God’s Kingdom; others are relying on their money and status or even their position in the church, but none of these things can override justice.
It is true that we are saved by grace alone, but grace must be justified.
Our eternal future can only be justified through the blood of Jesus. If that’s wasn’t the case, their would of been no reason for Jesus to sacrifice His life to redeem us.
Their is no other way because the whole human race are sinners and have already justified their own death and therefore, the debt must be paid.
Furthermore, Jesus warned us saying, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If one cannot make the effort to know Jesus and build relationship with Him while on this earth, He will refuse to know Him or her in the life to come-the door will be shut forever, and forever is a very long time.
The only way to know and trust anyone is through relationship-quality time spent together with regular conversation.
It is the same with Christ; the only way to know and trust Jesus is by spending quality time with Him in prayer-heart felt prayer! Jesus said, “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.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
David said, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Their is nothing better than spending time with Jesus; taste for yourself and see how good He really is and experience His wonderful blessings.
Furthermore, their is Good News!
It does not matter the colour of your skin, your place of birth, your status, your criminal past or future mistakes, your health nor your wealth or lack of it, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Put your trust in Christ today-He is the only way to peace, joy, and contentment in this dark world.
He is the only truth that can set us free from the power of sin, and He is the life-the resurrection life that defeated death itself.
He is the One who removed the sting of death and gave us hope of a wonderful eternal future. He is the only way to our Father in heaven.
Give your life to Jesus today, for tomorrow may well be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

True Humilty And Fear Of The Lord Lead To Riches, Honor, & Long Life

Peace, Joy, & Life Everlasting

PROVERBS 22:4
“By humility and the fear of the Lord Are riches and honor and life.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/pro.22.4.NKJ

V

True humility begins with right attitude toward God; fear of the Lord and humility, together lead to riches and honor and life.
But riches does not necessarily mean financial riches-the blessings of being a child of God are by far greater than any amount of money, material blessings, or status.

Fear of the Lord, is respecting His Majesty, Authority, Power, abilities, and strength; His perfection, Holiness, Justice and Truth. It is Placing Him where He belongs, exalted above all.

It is respecting that He is above all, that He has no equal, no rival, and that His name is above every other name
Good relationship with God brings with it joy, honor, and peace of mind that cannot be taken away from you.
Life with Christ is eternal, unlike money, status, and material blessings, that can be lost or stolen at any time.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (JOHN 14:6). Jesus way is the only way to consistent peace, joy, and eternal life.
His way brings with it continuous stability, good relationship with one another, peace of mind and joy which is your strength (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
He goes before you through every storm preparing a way, and then He stands with you through it all (DEUTERONOMY 31:8).
Nothing is impossible for Him (MATHEW 19:26; MARK 10:27), not even the impossible situation that you are facing right now, indeed He has taken authority over even death itself.
He is the truth, He cannot lie or break even one of His promises, so you can trust Him implicitly.
He is the life, the resurrection life that defeated death, He is the only way to our Father in heaven.
There is no other-not Mary, Muhammad, your Pastor, or even the pope. No other religious organisation, or person or organisation can save you.
You cannot buy salvation, nor can you earn it. Only by faith in Christ Jesus can you be saved.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Their is no greater privilege than life in Christ!
It is a gift that not one of us deserves.
When someone gives you a gift, you don’t insult them by saying, “how much do I owe,” or by rejecting the gift. No, you say thank you and then reach out and take your gift.
Once in your hand, you unwrap it and receive it.
Jesus died that you might live, don’t insult Him by throwing back in His face.
He allowed His own blood to be painfully spilled for you, all you need do is apply it your life and you have life everlasting, along with consistent joy and peace, God’s peace that surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:7).
I tell you the truth, with Jesus’ peace, you are more than a millionaire.
Not only has Christ paid the highest price to save you, but He has sent His Holy Spirit to help and lead you through life (JOHN 14:15-18), for “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my beloved, just as Peter said to the house of Israel, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Receive the promise my beloved, and it shall be extended to your children, and other family members, grandchildren, loved ones, and to all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For Their Is One God And One Mediator Between God And Mankind, The Man Christ Jesus

The Ransom For All People

1 TIMOTHY 2:1-7
“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying— a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
”‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭2:1-7‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/1ti.2.1-7.nkj

v

There has never been such a time as this; we have seen nation rise against nation, extreme weather conditions, lawlessness, corruption, sexual immorality, terrorism, man made pestilence, and all kinds of mandates and rules, and much sin in today’s world is seen as righteousness, including same sex marriage and even abortion; some people even joining in marriage with animals.
Surely my beloved, this cannot continue for much longer.
Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭4‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬
The “beginning of sorrows” has passed and our world is on a slippery slope to its coming end.
However, we believers are blessed because our all powerful God has chosen to help us through the troubles of today through prayer and fasting.
How this works is a mystery to us because of our limited understanding. But Paul based his instruction about prayer for everyone on his conviction that God's invitation for salvation extends equality to all people comes from God’s love.
The world that God loves includes every single person; He loves us as individuals whom He chooses to know intimately (PSALM 139:13-18).
The truth is, “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭3‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬
Paul urges us to pray for all people, for our earnest prayer will have powerful results (JAMES 5:16).
We should pray for all those in authority around the world so that their societies will be conducive to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Paul's command to pray for kings is a remarkable consideration that Nero, a notorious cruel ruler, was emperor at this time (AD 54-68).
When Paul wrote this letter, persecution and corruption just like in our world today, was more than a growing threat.
Later, when Nero needed a scapegoat for the great fire that destroyed much of Rome in AD 64, he blamed the Roman Christians so as to take the focus away from himself; much like our world leadership today who are forever passing the blame for their foolishness and corrupt works onto the righteous.
Back then persecution erupted throughout the Roman Empire. Not only were Christians denied certain privileges in society, some were publicly butchered or burned.
But it is encouraging that both Peter and Paul said that God wants everyone to be saved, that doesn't mean everybody will be, because the bible makes it clear that many will reject Christ (MATHEW 25:31-46, JOHN 12:44-50, HEBREWS 10:26-29).
We have never lived in times such as this; our governments are becoming more and more corrupt and persecution against Christians is growing.
In today’s world, pestilence has been and is being used as a tool to control people by driving fear throughout the nations.
Furthermore, our corrupt governments are trying to break the world monetary systems so that they can bring about their plan of the “New World Order”; One government, one religion, and one cashless monetary system.
The ultimate goal of the devil is to prepare the people to accept and inflict the mark of the beast-an ID implant that declares “ownership”, of the people to himself. Furthermore, without such an implant, people will not be allowed to work, buy or sell anything. It’s number is 666 (see REVELATION 13:16-18).
It will become impossible to operate or trade or purchase one’s daily needs without the implant.
The last few years has been preparing the people to simply accept the so called mandates of tomorrow as they did through the so called pandemic.
My beloved, we must pray continually; though there are some things prayer will not stop, for what is written shall come to pass.
God has allowed these things as a part of His ultimate plan of creation and our eternal future where sin will be no more and death and sorrow will be gone forever (REVELATION 21:3-4).
But however, prayer will empower us to remain standing through the coming storm as the world is being shaken. While the devil brings evil, truth will be revealed and justice will come; many will give themselves to Christ in a final revival of the church as God reaches out to His people in these last days.
I see ropes hanging down from the heavens for His people to hold on firmly as He shake’s this world to expose the truth. But long enough that the wicked shall hang themselves with them as their lies are exposed.
The Good News is, God wins! He is in control, and His promise of salvation is not directed to only one race, one sex, or one national background.
No one is out of reach of God’s mercy, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But we do need to be ready for Christ return.
“”But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭36‬-‭37‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Therefore my brethren, be ready; whilst planning with wisdom for tomorrow, live today as it is your last with fear of the Lord.
Jesus said, “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24:38-42‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Many people think there are many ways to God. In practice, each of us must choose a single way.
We can stand on one side of a gorge and discuss the possibility of many bridges across the abyss, but if determined to cross, we will have to commit to one bridge.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me (JOHN 14:6).
Jesus is the only way! We know that because it is written. Their is but one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity-the man Christ Jesus.
It is He alone who paid the debt of sin on a cross and on the third was risen (1 CORINTHIANS 25:4).
Not only did He pay your debt of sin, but He defeated death and was risen.
No other god, religious organisation, or faith dealt with the curse of sin.
Many believe that God won’t send “nice people” to hell because it is by grace that one is saved.
But unfortunately, unless one receives Jesus gift of life by applying the spilt blood of Christ to their life through faith, He or she will not see the Kingdom of God.
My beloved, grace does not override justice, if it did, Jesus would not of needed to die a painful death on a cross.
Sin justified death, but Jesus justified life by His blood, that by His grace, all who believe on Him shall be saved.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, commit your life to Christ today, for tomorrow may well be too late.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

For Everyone Has Sinned, We All Fall Short Of God's Glorious Standard. Yet God In His Grace , Freely Makes Us Right In His Sight

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 06:23:42 GMT

His Grace Is Enough

ROMANS 3:21-26
“But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
”‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:21-26‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/rom.3.21-26.nkj

v

“Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, it is impossible to be saved by keeping the Law, it’s too late for that, we are all guilty.
Many believe being “nice” will save them, because God won’t condemn nice people; that His grace is enough. But the truth is, while it is true that we are saved by God’s grace, grace does not override justice, if it did, their would of been no reason for Jesus to sacrifice His blood for the sin of the world.
After this terrible news about God’s condemnation that fell upon us all, Paul gives us the Good News.
There is a way to be free from the condemnation and be declared not guilty-simply by believing and trusting Jesus Christ who takes away our sins.
Jesus died on a cross to pay our debt of sin, and then on the third day was risen, defeating death for all time (1 CORINTHIANS 15:4).
By this Jesus Christ justified resurrection life to all who believe, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To trust Jesus means putting our confidence in Christ to forgive us of all sins, to make us right with God, and to empower us to live life by His leading.
Some may believe that their sin is too great to be forgiven, but that thinking really is an insult to Christ, He is greater than anything good or evil that man can do.
The sacrifice of His blood covered every sin, including yours.
Regardless of your past or present sin or situation; regardless of the colour of your skin, your place of birth, or gender, or even your sexual orientation, God’s solution is available to you.
This is not simply the Good News, this is amazingly Wonderful Good News.
Give your life to Christ today. Don’t miss out on the wonderful gift of life that Christ Jesus afforded you. Life without sin, or shame, or sorrow, or fear, or sickness or even death.
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people.God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.””
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Oh, The Joy s Of Those Who Do Not Follow The Advice Of The Wicked Or Stand Around With Sinners Or Join In With Mockery

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 06:59:43 GMT

Walk In The Spirit

PSALM 1:1-6
“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/psa.1.1-6.NKJ

V

God doesn't judge on the basis of race, gender, or colour, and He looks right past sin; but rather, but rather, He judges them on the basis of their faith in Him and their response to His revealed will.
The truth is, it is impossible to please God without faith (HEBREWS 11:6).
Those who submit to God and by faith walk in obedience to His Holy Spirit, are blessed (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
They are like healthy fruit bearing trees that stand along the river bank with strong roots to hold them firm in their faith. (JEREMIAH 17:7-8).
These roots are grounded in Jesus; He is the well that never runs dry(ISAIAH 58: 11).
Furthermore , God promises to watch over them whilst His wisdom guides their lives.
In contrast to those who don't trust or obey God's will; those who walk in the counsel of the ungodly (unbelievers), they are left to their meaningless lives to blow away like dust.
Their are only two paths of life that lay before us-God's way of obedience or the way of rebellion and destruction.
The ultimate outcome is heaven or hell; therefore we must all choose our path carefully; eternity is a very long time.
You can learn how to follow God by meditating on His Word and by spending quality time in prayer talking to God building a relationship with Him. Which means humbling one’s self before God in repentance and accepting that God is right in every situation.
These are the first steps towards applying God's Word to your every day life; but one must cooperate with God and put into practice everything he/she has learned from Christ.
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?”
‭‭James‬ ‭2:14-20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The truth is, we cannot do anything good and lasting in our own human strength, and it is impossible to be saved by works, for we have all sinned. But by believing on Jesus Christ and what He did on a cross, one is saved and shall do good works by the leading and the power of the Holy Spirit.
When saved, the Holy Spirit joins our spirit and in Spirit we are made perfect.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As we walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit, He shall manifest Himself through our flesh and out of the belly shall flow rivers of living waters (JOHN 7:38 KJV), the works of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The battle is over our souls, our mind, will, and emotions, our consciousness where we make our decisions.
Therefore, make one’s spirit king, subject to the King of kings; His soul, servant to the king, and his flesh to become slave.
When one slips back into sin, by obedience to the flesh, the Spirit retreats from the flesh, opening doors to the devil.
It feels like God has left us, but He never leaves us.(JOHN 14:18), for His promise of salvation stands.
But rather, He convicts repentance from within.
James said, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The more we delight in God, the more fruitful we become; but on the other hand, the more we allow those who ridicule and reject God to influence and affect our thoughts and attitudes, the more we become separated from God-our source of nourishment.
We must have contact with non-believers if we are to witness to them, but we must not allow ourselves to be dragged into their sinful behaviour.
In other words, love the sinners as Christ loves us, but hate their sins.
It is Christ love that shines through us that shall draw unbelievers to our Lord and Saviour.
The phrase "they prosper in all they do," does not mean believers are immune from failure or difficulties, nor does it guarantee health or wealth.
What the bible means by prosperity is this: When we apply God's Word and wisdom, the fruits we bear will be good and pleasing to God and we believers shall receive God's approval. Just as a tree soaks up water and bears good fruit, we are to soak up God Word, producing good fruit-actions and attitudes by the Holy Spirit.
My brethren, good works without faith cannot save anyone-but true faith in Christ producers good works.
We mere humans cannot be saved by our works, but by faith alone in Christ.
Therefore, “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:9-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, as Paul said, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen

God Is Not Unjust; He Will Not Forget Your Work And The Love You Have Shown Him As You Helped His People And Continue To Help Them

Real Seeds

HEBREWS 6:7-12
“For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
”‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭6:7-12‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.6.7-12.NKJ

Real seeds, (the gospel) given genuine care by the farmer, (God) and planted in a fertile field (your heart) will produce a bountiful crop (spiritual maturity).
Weeds (temptations and false teachings) threaten to overwhelm the crop. If the field only produces weeds, the seeds will be lost and the field ruined.
God has given us every provision (His word, and the Holy Spirit), which are watered by the grace of God with clear and abundant teaching and preaching.
What excuse do you have to be an unproductive Christian?
Don't be a Christian in name only, make sure that your life is bearing good Christian fruits.
Be mindful of what you are taking in through the media and church teachings; their are many false teachings and temptations, and even Spirit filled teachers make mistakes. The devil is determined to poison you with his lies which ever way he can.
Test the spirits and approve everything directly with God and His Word (1 JOHN 4:1-3), and do not allow your eyes to look at the unclean things of this world.
Life isn't always easy; God never promised it would be, but don't get discouraged, thinking God has forgotten you.
You can rest assured, He is never unjust; He never forgets or overlooks the hard work you do for Him.
My brethren, in this present time you might not be receiving rewards, but God knows your efforts of love and ministry.
Maybe you are working hard but nothing appears to be moving; it might seem like you’re ministry has become stagnant.
But let God's love for you and His intimate knowledge of your service for Him encourage you as you face disappointment and rejection here on earth.
When seeds are planted their is always a long process before we see the fruits of of our labour. But everything has its season and God controls the timing not you (ECCLESIASTES 3)
So therefore patiently wait on the Lord . David told us, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27:13-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Hope keeps you from becoming lazy and bored, therefore keep focused on the reward; eternal life in paradise heaven.
Like an athlete, train hard and run well, remembering the reward lies ahead (PHILIPPIANS 3:14).
My beloved, you cannot build your ministry in your own strength, and good fruits will come when you hand the reigns to Jesus and walk in the Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Works of the flesh are dead, but the fruits of the Spirit will bring growth, joy, and peace, that is God’s peace that surpasses all understanding and shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7).
Truly I tell you again and again, ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If We Confess Our Sins, He Is Faithful And Just And Will Forgive And Purify Us From Unrighteousness

Walking In The Light

1 JOHN 1:5-10
“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Light represents what is good, pure, and holy. Darkness represents what is sinful and evil.
The statement, "God is light" means God is holy, true, and that He alone can guide us from the darkness into the light.
Light is related to truth, and that light exposes the truth whether good or evil.
In the dark, good and evil look alike, but in the light, they can be clearly distinguished, “And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Just as darkness cannot exist in the presence of light, sin cannot exist in the presence of God.
No matter how great the darkness, it cannot snuff out the light-it exposes all truth.
If we are to have good relationship with God, we must put aside our sinful way of life, repent and turn to God.
How can we claim to belong to God, and go on living sinful lives?
No one can deceive God, and He will expose and judge all deceit.
The Good News is, if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive.
He is just because He sent His only begotten Son to take our place on a cross and paid our penalty of sin with His own blood. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‭NKJV‬
John was confronting claims of false teachers, that we could have fellowship with God and go on living in spiritual darkness. False teachers thought that the physical body was evil or worthless, and taught one of two approaches to behaviour.
They insisted on denying bodily desires through rigid discipline, or they approved of gratifying every physical lust because the body was going to be destroyed anyway; obviously, the second approach was more popular.
John is saying, we can't claim to be Christians and continue to live evil, immoral lives.
By living in the light, confessing our sin in repentance; that means being willing to change, Jesus cleanses us from all sin; He took yours and my place on a cross and died a criminal’s death on a cross that we are justified.
We inherited sin from Adam and Eve the in the beginning (ROMANS 5:12), and have a natural tendency towards sin.
Sin is complicated, often as a result of survival, false beliefs, culture, habit, addiction and even possession, and therefore we can't possibly change ourselves, we need the help of the indwelling Holy Spirit (JOHN 14:15-18).
Furthermore, not only have we inherited sin from our decendants, we pass on our sinful ways to our children. Only by total submission to God and allow Him to change the way we think, can we be made right with God and be transformed into the person God created us to be.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, we as individuals must put into practice our new nature in Christ-the old must be gone. “For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:5-14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If you think that you never sinned, you are calling God a liar. Therefore, we must remove all pride and truly be willing and desire to change from our old sinful life to God’s way of holiness as He teaches and strengthens us to stand firm against all sin.
We can only do this by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit in us (JOHN 14:15-18).
If one lives in the light, he or she has nothing to hide, but if one lives in the darkness of sin, he or she will have much to hide and it will be exposed in time.
Confession takes away the devil’s hand, he can no longer hang your sin over you, and therefore you are free to live for Christ without shame because your debt has been paid in full by the blood of Jesus.
Transparency brings peace because in transparency one hides nothing and is living in the light.
Therefore, submit to God in repentance daily, not because you deliberately sinned, but because you may of made a mistake.
We cannot live right without the Holy Spirt, but we do need to cooperate with Him.
“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, only then can the light of Christ shine from you.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

The Lord Said To The Lord, "Sit At My Right Hand, Till I make Your Enemies Your Footstall"

The Power Is In The Blood

LUKE 20:41-47
“And He said to them, “How can they say that the Christ is the Son of David? Now David himself said in the Book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ’ Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord’; how is He then his Son?” Then, in the hearing of all the people, He said to His disciples, “Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at feasts, who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”
”‭‭Luke‬ ‭20:41-47‬ ‭NKJV‬

The Pharisees and Sadducees had asked their questions. Then Jesus turned the table and asked them a question about what they thought about the Messiah's identity.

This Scripture is a wonderful confirmation of exactly of who Christ is. "The Lord (God),said the Lord (Jesus Christ, God in human Form).

The Pharisees knew the Messiah would be a descendent of David, but they didn't understand that He would be more than a human descendant, that He is actually God in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6).
Jesus quoted from Psalm 110:1 to show that David knew that the Messiah would be both human and Devine.
The Pharisees expected only a human ruler to restore Israel's greatness as it was in the days of David and Solomon.
The central issue of life is what we believe about Jesus. My beloved, unless we believe that Jesus is who He said He is, all other spiritual questions are irrelevant.
The Pharisees, like some people today, didn't really believe, and remained confused over Jesus identity. Jesus is who He said He is; He is God in human form (PHILIPPIANS 2:6). In deed Jesus said, ““Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:32-33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The teachers of religious law loved the benefits of their position, and sometimes cheated the poor in order to gain.
Today, we believers all have a job to do, to share the Good News, and support our brothers and sisters in Christ; we are all individual parts of the body of Christ (ROMANS 12:4), and have been gifted accordingly to our calling. Furthermore, since the Holy Spirit is the source of all spiritual gifts and Christ is the head over the whole body (1 CORINTHIANS 12), we should all work together as one body like a well oiled machine.
But however, this unity hasn’t really fully come together in the past; prophets were continually rejected, teaching became conflicted as the Pastors and leaders run churches their way which often brought deception and division into our churches; usually because of selfish ambition; many craving to be the number one.
They consider the church “their own” and operate from the flesh rather than by the leading of the Spirit.
The result is false prophecy, teaching, and the manipulation of Scriptures. As Jeremiah warned us, ““The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Worship becomes entertainment and ministry a business.
It would be quite wrong to use our position for personal gain or status. But without the the leading of the Spirit, the flesh will not cease from satisfying its lusts (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
We are all individual parts of the same body and must remain obedient to the head. Not one part is more important than another, and all should respect one another’s calling.
God will punish people who use their position of responsibility to cheat or manipulate others and esteem themselves.
Spiritual gifts are not given to edify one’s self, but to edify the whole body (1 CORINTHIANS 14:22). Therefore, whatever resources you have been given are to help and encourage others, not just yourself.
Jesus said, that the false teachers of religious law would receive the greatest of punishment, because behind their appearance of holiness and respectability, they was arrogant, selfish, and uncaring.
Jesus exposed their evil agendas; He showed that despite their pious words, they neglected God's laws, and that the most severe punishment awaited these teachers because they should have been living examples of mercy and justice, but rather lead many people away from the truth in their desire of power and riches.
We believers should be setting the example of Christ by the way we live our lives; showing ourselves as different-helpful, loving, and caring for people, so that everyone can see that we are truly children of God shining for Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
My brethren, their has never been such a time as this-broken businesses, unemployment, the world wide financial systems are collapsing, our hospitals are failing. Furthermore, unreasonable rules and regulations are being forced upon the people and war hovers over the world.
We are seeing lawlessness, immoral sexuality, pedophilia, child trafficking, addictions, depression and suicides at the highest levels in history, and the immorality is being taught as “normal” in our schools.
We are seeing corruption at the highest level in both world leadership and the church, and persecution is growing day by day.
Street preachers are being arrested and churches are being closed. Fear is dominating this world and its not difficult to recognise that its all but over and Christ’ coming is just around the corner.
Jesus shall return very soon to take His people.
He forewarned us, saying, ““But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭36‬-‭44‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But however my beloved, I encourage you to be still, wait patiently on the Lord and put your trust in Him, until He makes His enemies His footstool.
The wine has run out, and man’s old church system is finished; the new is here, for Jesus time is now (JOHN 2:1-11).
The new wine is here, as Jesus predicted in the first sign when He turned water in wine (JOHN 2:1-12), along with the new wine skins, those chosen for such a time as this.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The power is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The old religious church was put together by the likes of the Pharisees and operated by blood of animal sacrifice.
But the old wine is depleted, and the new is here.
Christ ministry operates by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb that was slain (REVELATION 13:8).
The bread in communion represents the body and the wine is a representation of the blood of Jesus (1 CORINTHIANS 23:11-26).
When we take communion we confirm our new covenant in Him as one body, empowered by the blood of Jesus.
With the new wine comes new powers and freedoms in Christ.
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Regardless of what we are witnessing in our world today, I encourage you, God is in control and revival is imminent as God reaches out to the lost in these end times.
As Joel told us, “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the Lord your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame. “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls.”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭2‬:‭25‬-‭32‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

If Anyone Wants To Follow After Me, Let Him Deny Himself, Take Up His Cross, And Follow Me

Nothing Of This World Is Worth Selling Your Soul

MARK 8:31-38
“And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.” When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
”‭‭Mark‬ ‭8:31-38‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mrk.8.31-38.NKJ

The name for Jesus, Son of Man, is the most common title for Him. It comes from DANIEL 7:13, where the Son of Man is a heavenly figure who, in end times has authority and power over all things.
The name refers to Jesus as the Messiah, the representative of man, the human agent of God who is vindicated by God.
From this point on, Jesus spoke plainly to His disciples about His death and the resurrection, preparing them for what was going to happen.
Peter wasn't fully considering God's purpose, but rather his own natural human desires; he wanted Jesus to be King, but not the suffering servant prophesied in ISAIAH 53.
He was ready to receive the glory of following the Messiah, but not the persecution.
Christian life is not a paved way to wealth. It involves hard work, patience, and perseverance.
Furthermore, deprivation, suffering, and persecution are a part of the package; that is carrying your own cross.
My brethren, we must not repeat Peters mistake, but rather learn from it and focus on the good that God can bring out of apparent evil and the resurrection that follows the Crucifixion.
Peter was often the spokesman for the disciples; in singling him out, Jesus may have been addressing all of them indirectly.
Unknowingly, and influenced by the devil, the disciples were trying to stop Jesus going to the cross and fulfilling His mission; that is why Jesus said, “Get behind Me Satan.”
We believers must understand, the devil will try to influence our decisions; he and his evil spirits and demons will try to infiltrate our minds, will, and emotions, particularly our emotions, that we will believe their lies that fulfil the devil’s agendas.
The devil uses sin to get in, or simply whisper lies into your ear.
The devil has many evil schemes up his sleeve (EPHESIANS 6:11), his purpose is to steal, and to kill, and to destroy (JOHN 10:10).
Therefore, we must remain diligent at all times and live right with God, testing and approving everything we hear by the Spirit and stay focused on Jesus.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
‭‭I John‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬
The Romans, Mark's original audience, knew what taking up the cross really meant.
Death on a cross was a form of execution used by the Romans for the most dangerous and evil criminals who would have to carry their own cross to the crusifiction site.
We believers should be prepared to lose our life for the sake of the Good News; not because our life is useless, but because nothing, not even life itself can compare to what we gain in Christ.
Jesus wants us to follow Him rather than live a life of sin and self-satisfaction. He wants us to stop trying to control our own destiny, and allow Him to direct us; which makes good sense because, as the creator, Christ knows better than us His perfect plans and purposes.
He asks submission, not self-hatred, He asks us only to lose our self-centered determination to be in charge.
Jesus is the head and He wants to do His work through the whole congregation according to His plans and purposes, not the ideals of the Pastor.
The Pastor is not there to control, but rather to shepherd the flock and organise and host the meetings.
That is the five fold ministry of God. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬
It’s time for the Pastors to let go, step aside, and let God build and operate His church through the whole congregation. That is the apostolic ministry of God.
Many people spend all their energy seeking the pleasures of this world, however Jesus said, “that worldliness, which is centered on possessions, position, or power, is ultimately worthless.” Whatever you have on earth is temporary, and not worth loosing your soul for.
With hard work you might eventually get a pleasurable life, but in the end you will find it hollow, empty, and without hope; the truth is, it will come to a crashing end.
Are you willing to make the pursuit of God more important than selfish pursuits?
We believers are here in this temporary world to serve Jesus, not to fulfil our own selfish agendas, but by doing so, we can all rejoice in the very fact that the best is yet to come and nothing will be able to spoil our eternal future.
Follow Jesus, and you will come to know what it means to live now with the joy of Christ in you, with His peace upon you that surpasses all understanding that will guard your hearts and minds through Christ. Furthermore, you shall have the confident hope of eternal life with God Himself. (see REVELATION 21:3-4).
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Then Jesus Declared, I Am The Bread Of Life

Sat, 25 Oct 2025 06:31:28 GMT

By Faith Alone

JOHN 6:26-40
“Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 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.” Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.” 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. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
”‭‭John‬ ‭6:26-40‬ ‭NKJV‬

Jesus criticized the people who followed Him only for the physical benefits and for not satisfying their spiritual hunger.
Many people use religion to gain prestige, comfort, and even political votes, but true believers of Christ follow Jesus because they know He is the truth, and His way is the way to life everlasting (JOHN 14:6).
Many believers are puzzled about what God wants them to do, but Jesus' answer is short and simple. We must believe in Christ Jesus who God has sent. Satisfying God doesn't come from the work we do, but what we believe.
The truth is, without faith it is impossible to please God (HEBREWS 11:6).
We must accept that successful ministry does not come from the works of the flesh, but by total submission to God.
The first step is accepting that Jesus is Lord, and He is who He says He is. All spiritual development is built on this affirmation.
Declare to Jesus, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God (MATHEW 16:16) and embark on a life or belief that is satisfying to God.
Good works can only come from the Holy Spirit within.
When one is saved, the Holy Spirit enters his body (JOHN 14:15-18) and joins with his spirit.
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬-‭17‬ NKJV
As we walk in submission to the Holy Spirit, He manifests through our flesh to do good works. Jesus put it like this, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.””
‭‭John‬ ‭7‬:‭38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If one falls back into sin, the Spirit retreats from the flesh, but remains joined in Spirit. It feels like He has abandoned us and that we are alone, but as Jesus promised, He will never leave us(JOHN 14:18).
But rather, He convicts us to repentance and change.
Peace by peace we are transformed into the image of Christ (ROMANS 12:1-2).
We eat bread to satisfy our hunger and sustain physical life, but we must satisfy spiritual hunger and sustain spiritual life only by a right relationship with Christ Jesus.
No wonder He is called the bread of life.
We need healthy spiritual food through constant prayer, fellowship with other Spirit filled believers, and regular study of God's Word, the bread of life.
Relationship with Christ can not develop by simply attending church once a week.
Therefore, make time for Jesus; don’t simply involve Him in everything you do, but rather involve yourself in everything He is doing and never stop praying.
Make time to read your bibles daily, join a church operating in the five fold ministry of God, and make time to study and worship together regularly in small groups.
The old church that operated by tbe leadership of man-a Pastor or minister is over. The old church is dead.
Now is the time for the apostolic ministry of God to take root and grow. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬
Jesus did not work independently to God, and we can’t either, but in union with Him in obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit.
This should give us more assurance of being welcomed into God's presence and being protected by Him.
Jesus purpose was to do the will of God, not to satisfy His own human desires, and we believers have the same purpose, to serve God and allow Him to do His good work through us.
Jesus said, He will not lose even one person whom God gave Him, thus anyone who makes a firm commitment to believe in Jesus Christ as our Saviour is secure in the presence of God (see also 17:12; PHILIPPIANS 1:6).
Those who put their faith in Christ will be resurrected from physical death to eternal life with God when Christ returns.
The Good News is, God’s gift of life is available to all who believe on Him, regardless of their past sinful life, or the colour of their skin, or indeed their sexual orientation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:11-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved people, if you haven’t already, commit your life to Christ today, for tomorrow may well be too late.
Peter wrote, “Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior, knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭3:1-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Regardless of the scoffers in these last days, ever lasting life is available to all who believe on Christ Jesus.
My beloved, don’t allow this amazing gift slip by. It’s heaven or hell forever, and forever is a very long time.
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen

And This Is The Testimony: God Has Given Us Eternal Life And This Life Is In His Son

Healing Is In His Name

1 JOHN 5:1-13
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; for this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
”‭‭I John‬ ‭5:1-13‬ ‭NKJV‬

When we become Spirit filled believers, we are reunited into God's family with other believers, our brothers and sisters in Christ, and are called to love and except them whoever they are.
Jesus never promised that obeying Him would be easy. But effort, cooperation and self-discipline to serve Christ is no burden to those who love Him, for we have the Holy Spirit to help and lead us in righteousness and overcome the temptations of the world (JOHN 14:15-18).
The truth is, when the load becomes heavy, we can trust God to take the load and help us bear it. (see MATHEW 11:28-30).
Many believe that Jesus was "the Christ" only between His baptism and his death, that He was not God until He was baptized; at which time "the Christ" then descended upon Him and then later left Him before His death on the cross. But if Jesus died only as a man, He could not have taken upon Himself the sins of the world, and Christianity would be an empty religion.
The Gospel twice records God's clear declaration that Jesus is and always was His Son at Jesus baptism (MATHEW 3:16-17) and at His transfiguration. (MATHEW 17:5)
Only an act of God could take away the punishment we deserve for our sins.
We know that Jesus is God and always was God from the beginning, “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As Paul tells us, “Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‭NLT‬‬
Whoever believes in God's Son has eternal life. He is all you need.
Eternal life begins the moment one believes and applies the blood of Jesus to their life by their confession of faith.
John says we can know we have salvation because our certainty is based on God's promise that He has given us eternal life through Jesus Christ His only begotten Son.
But He who doesn’t believe has made himself a liar because he doesn’t believe the testimony of God.
Whilst we must cooperate with God, through repentance and baptism, salvation is not based on feelings, emotions, or wealth, works, ability, or status. You can know you have eternal life simply because you believe God's truth, “that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
He who believes has overcome the world and the things of this world cannot overtake him.
The devil is very quick to bring temptations with whispers of sexual immorality, inappropriate ways to make money, or to gain position, power, and fill us with selfish ambitions.
He brings fear and torment with his deceptions.
He has many evil schemes that are designed to make you fall. But the truth is, He who believes already has the victory over all the things of this world through Christ, including all sin, sickness , addictions, mental health issues, poverty and lack of, for every curse can be broken by the spilled blood of Jesus Christ.
But “Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Not only do we have healing available to us believers in every aspect of our lives, we have God given authority over all demonic powers, unclean spirits and demons to cast them out (LUKE 10:17).
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Submit to God: Repent of the sin that let him in.
Rebuke the devil: Call the demons out by name and command them to leave in Jesus name, and they shall flee from you.
They come out through tears, vomit, and sometimes with screaming.
But like squatters, they will not leave whilst they have legal right to remain.
It was sin that let them, including the sin of our ancestors, hence many are afflicted with generational curses from birth.
Involving in the sinful things of this world brings you in line with the devil and gives him legal rights to enter. But repentance gives us authority to evict them and break every curse.
But “”When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12‬:‭43‬-‭45‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
One must stand upon his repentance by turning from the sin that let them in and walk in their freedom.
If you believe on your freedom in Christ and walk in that truth, you are no longer a slave to those sins through Christ.
Its not always easy and you shall be tested.
But your not alone, Jesus said, ““If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The Spirit will guide you in all truth (JOHN 16:13), and a battle will start from within, for God doesn’t take away free will and our flesh will try to hold on to its dominion to have its way.
We have a choice to walk in the Spirit, or in the flesh which craves the things of the world and isn’t happy to let go of them.
I ask, who is in control, you or your flesh?
You are spirit, created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27), in deed He knew you before you was in your mother’s womb (JEREMIAH 1:5).
Therefore make your spirit king over your soul, which is your mind, will and emotions, who must become servant of the spirit.
The flesh is nothing more than a vehicle to operate from in this physical world, therefore a slave to the spirit, who is subject to the King of kings, the Holy Spirit within.
For you are made up as thee parts-spirit, soul, and body, and together they make a human being (1 THESSALONIANS 5:23).
When saved we believers receive the gift of the Holy Spirit; “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ NKJV
He is there to help you walk in the freedom Christ purchased for you, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭1‬:‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬
As we walk in obedience to the Spirit, He manifests through our flesh to do good works in the Spirit and out of the belly flows living waters (JOHN 7:38 KJV).
If one slips back into sin, the holy Spirit retreats from the flesh and remains quiet within one’s spirit, quietly bringing conviction to repentance.
It feels like God has left us alone in the wilderness until repentance is restored.
My beloved, “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭26‬ ‭NKJV‬
The truth is, whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered (JOEL 2:32).
That is He who came into the world, not by passion nor lust, but by water and blood-Jesus Christ.
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen

True Humility And Fear Of The Lord Lead To Riches, Honor, & Long Life

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 05:51:10 GMT

Don't Worry About Your Life

PROVERBS 22:1-4
“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished. By humility and the fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life.
”‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭22:1-4‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/pro.22.1-4.nkj

v

The idea that fear of the Lord leads to riches, honor, and life, may have been applicable to an obedient Israelite in Solomon’s time.
However, some have been martyrs at a young age, and some have given away their wealth for the sake of God’s Kingdom.
The truth is, reputation is far more important than riches.
We Spirit filled believers are ambassadors of Christ (2 CORINTHIANS 5:20), and we must be seen to act as such, representing the Lord in all things.
It is through our Christ like behaviour that we shine for Christ (PHILIPPIANS 2:15; DANIEL 12:3) and attract unbelievers to His throne.
The truth is, God’s loving favor is far greater than any amount of silver or gold.
Whether rich or poor in this life, we believers all have one thing in common. God loves us all, we are all His treasured possessions (DEUTERONOMY 7:6; 1 PETER 2:9), and have a great inheritance of riches and honor beyond all money or imagination.
Whilst the thief, came only to steel, and to kill, and to destroy, Jesus came to give you life, that you may have it more abundantly (JOHN 10:10).
He gives us eternal life, and in ten thousand years time, when we are living out the promises of God, we won’t be worrying about the trials and challenges of life that we believers are facing today.
No, we will be looking forward to unlimited years of paradise that will never end.
The truth is, we believers are all more than millionaires in the making.
It’s not wrong to be wealthy, indeed “Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭13:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
But God often holds back riches. “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
God will not give you anything that might be damaging to you or your salvation; He will not give you that which you cannot handle.
But whatever your wealth, your health, your work status, your education or your IQ, whatever your sinful past, country of origin, as a believer of Christ, you have a great inheritance awaiting you, whether in this life or the next; good health, wealth, peace and joy in Christ.
My beloved, even to every provision, we can stand on the promises of God.
““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; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭25‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
When Jesus said ALL will be added to you, He ment every word. But you have to choose, you can put your trust in the things of this world, career, position, status, money, and even people, or you can seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Everything of the world is temporary and shall bring only temporary provisions and status, but God’s provisions are eternal and will continue forever.
Truly I tell you again and again,
“”Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved regardless of the trials of this life, they will all pass, for the victory is already yours in Christ.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life, No One Comes To The Father Except Through Me

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 05:45:15 GMT

Let Your Heart Not Be Troubled

JOHN 14:1-6
“”Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
”‭‭John‬ ‭14:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://www.bible.com/114/jhn.14.1-6.nkj

v

Jesus words show us the way to joy and peace in this ever darkening world.
He is our hiding place and our shield; as we hope in His word (Psalm 119:114) in this diverse world of darkness, with the confident hope of eternal life, where God Himself will live among His people.
He will wipe away our every tear, and there will be no death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. (REVELATIONS 21:3-4).
Jesus said, "I am going to prepare a place for you," His promise of eternal life is secure, as secure as your trust in Him, for “For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Verses. 5-6 are one of the most important passages in Scripture. How can we know the way to God?
Only through Christ Jesus; He is the way because He is both God and man, He Himself paid our debt of sin, and is also the coming Judge who shall decide everybody’s eternal future.
But by uniting our lives with His, we are united with God. Jesus is the ONLY way to God, there's not another way.
The truth is on the reality of God's promise, He joins His Devine Life with ours by our faith alone, for without faith it is impossible to please God (HEBREWS 11:16).
Jesus is in truth, He is the only truth to be relied upon, and His truth shines through the darkness of this world of deception and the darkness cannot comprehend it (JOHN 1:5).
He is the only way to our Father in heaven; No other god; man or woman, dead or alive can save us; not your pastor, nor your money, nor one’s good deeds can buy a place in the Father’s house.
Yet in my Father’s house, says the Lord, “are many mansions; if that we’re not so, I would of told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
The truth is, God has already prepared a place for each and every one of His people and they should rejoice because their name is written in heaven (LUKE 10:20).
Only Christ can give you joy and peace in your life today, for He is your hiding place and shield, and the confident hope of eternal life in paradise heaven.
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?””
‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is by faith alone that one is saved; salvation does not depend on one’s own holiness, abilities or achievements or good deeds, for it is too late to keep the Law, for we have all committed sin and the consequence is the spilling of blood. The debt must be paid.
We sinners can only be justified by the spilling of blood and Jesus spilled His by taking our place on the cross.
But if we put to death our old sinful selves through commitment to God, we die with Christ; therefore since we died with Christ, surely as He was risen into resurrection life, His people are also risen to live for ever with Christ; they are truly “born again” into God’s family. (see JOHN 3:5-8).
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭8‬-‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬
Furthermore, one’s new life in Christ starts the very moment he or she commits to God in repentance. ““Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:7-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Give your life to Christ today and be “born again” into God’s family; a fresh start in this dark perverse world.
Simply by faith alone our sins and past mistakes are washed away by the blood of Jesus Christ, and opens the door that leads to life everlasting; and with it comes peace of mind; God’s peace that surpasses all understanding that shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (PHILIPPIANS 4:7).
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen

Carry Each Others Burdens, In This Way Fulfil The Law Of Christ

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 05:53:57 GMT

One Shall Bear His Own Load

GALATIANS 6:1-10
“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.
”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:1-10‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/gal.6.1-10.NKJ

V

No believer should ever think that he or she is independent and doesn't need help from others, and no one should feel excused from helping others.
Pride is an abomination to the Lord (PROVERS 16:5).
The body of Christ only functions correctly when the members work together by the leading of the Spirit for the common good.
Do you know someone that needs help, or a brother or sister that needs correction?
Humbly and gently reach out to that person if necessary with loving discipline, offering to lift his or her load (JOHN 13:34-35).
Jesus said, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22:37-40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
To love your neighbor as yourself is to care for that person as you do yourself; to take care of that person’s needs when he or she is unable take care of themselves. By this you fulfil the Law.
When you do your best, not only does God do the rest, but you get satisfaction from a job well done, but that is no good reason to compare yourself with others.
People by their flesh, make comparisons for many reasons, pointing out the flaws in others that they feel better about themselves; by pointing out the flaws in others, they take the focus off themselves and avoid their own issues.
Jesus said, ““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. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all need reassurance that we are doing well, so it is good to acknowledge good works, but in everything give God all the glory, for we humans can do nothing good in our own strength.
My beloved, it is good to bath in God’s glory, but we cannot steal it. We must always recognise that our worth is in Christ alone.
When tempted to steal God’s glory by putting one’s self on a pedistal, look at the example of Christ.
His example will inspire you to do your best without expecting anything in return, and His loving acceptance will comfort you when you fall short of your expectations.
Equally, we must not put ourselves down. The devil is very quick to try to convince us that we are not good enough. But the truth is, to believe that lie is insulting to God, for He not only created you, but chose you to be a child of God, that you would produce good fruit (JOHN 15:16).
But that is not in your own power or strength of the flesh, but in His by the leading and power of the Holy Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26).
Even Jesus who gave up His Devine privileges as something to cling to (PHILIPPIANS 2:5-8).
He said, “I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭5‬:‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
If Jesus acknowledges that He of Himself can do nothing, it is easy to understand that we can’t either. Besides, it not my will that counts, but our Father’s in heaven.
Unlike Jesus, we humans all fall short, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭26 NKJV
The truth is, we can do nothing good in our own capacity, but can if we believe, do all things through Christ who is our strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
Paul said that students should take care of the needs of their teachers (1 CORINTHIANS 9:7-12).
It is easy to receive the benefits of bible teaching and then take our spiritual leaders for granted, ignoring their needs.
Therefore we should care of our teachers and leaders, and not assume that everything in their lives is perfect. Not grudgingly, but with a generous spirit, showing them appreciation for all they do.
Leaders, like all believers, are subject to the attacks of the devil, their time, finances, and relationships are always under attack, even more as they climb the ladder of faith.
Ministry takes time, effort, and funding, and each member is called to bear his or her own load with time, effort, and funding.
We are individuals parts of the body of Christ, spiritually gifted, and must do our share according to the leading of the Spirit.
Assembly is not just about receiving, we must give our time and service to God, bearing one another’s burdens.
Obviously, we cannot give either time nor money that we don’t have, and should not give out of emotional blackmail, or because we think we ought, or because others might be watching, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
When we give by the leading of our flesh out of sympathy or in the hope of receiving something in return, or that we might win God’s favour, we will give foolishly and eventually break our own finances.
Giving to the needy doesn’t mean subsidise someone’s extravagant lifestyle, habits, or laziness, for if one doesn’t work, neither shall he eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
My beloved, you harvest what you sow, if you plant corn, you would be surprised if potatoes came up.
If you gossip about friends, you will lose their friendship. Every action brings about its own consequence.
If you are trying to willingly or unknowingly subsidise someone’s elaborate living costs, not only will you break your own finances, they will never change; the truth is, you may well be undermining God’s work in that person.
But by giving by the leading of the Spirit, you can be certain that God’s will shall be done and He will provide and bless you either here on earth or in heaven.
If you plant seeds to please your own sinful nature, you will harvest sorrow and evil, but if you plant seeds to please God, you will harvest joy and peace of mind. God’s peace that surpasses all understanding and shall guard your hearts and minds through Christ (PHILIPPIANS (PHILIPPIANS 4:7).
It is good to reach out to the needy, but it is discouraging to continue to do right and receive no word of thanks.
But Paul challenged the Galatians, and he challenges us today, to keep on doing good, reaching out to those in need, and trusting God for the results, that we will reap the harvest of blessing at the right time (see PSALM 37:3-4). After all, it’s God’s blessings that count, credits from men is vanity.
Since we are called to love our neighbors, whether friend or foe, how much more should we love our brothers and sisters in Christ?
Giving is far more than money or physical food, we believers are called to reach out to one another both physically and spiritually using our God given spiritual gifts and prayer, seeking and removing the spiritual source of one another’s troubles; dealing with their issues long-term by bringing them to the throne of Christ.
Only then, will we by God’s grace, make way for deliverance, healing, and long-term change, not only in others, but also in ourselves as our very nature is transformed into the likeness of Christ (ROMANS 12:1-2).
All glory to God forever and ever. Amen

For What Is Our Hope, Or Joy, Or Crown Of Rejoicing? Is It Not Even You In The Presence Of Our Lord Jesus Christ At His Coming

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 05:48:23 GMT

Stay Focused On The Promise

1 THESSALONIANS 2:17-20
“But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. Therefore we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? For you are our glory and joy.
”‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭2:17-20‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1th.2.17-20.NKJ

Satan is real. He is called the god of this world (2 CORINTHIANS 4:4) and "the commander of the powers in the unseen world (EPHESIANS2:2).
He has many schemes and strategies to stop you growing in Christ, sharing the Good News or to hinder your service to God, and to stop you helping your brothers and sisters in Christ.
He will bring as much pain upon your life as he possibly can. He is ruthless and without moral conscience or limits of evil.
Therefore my “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.”
‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The devil always attacks within our souls, our mind, will, and emotions with whisperss of lies, particularly one’s emotions so that we will believe his lies.
Little whispers reminding us of our past sin and failures to convince us we are not good enough, or that our prayers are not being heard. Whispers telling us no one respects or cares about us, little whispers to destroy our souls.
Then are the whispers of temptation, the devil’s hope that we may compromise ourselves, and fall away from Christ.
He uses anything and everything that can hinder and cause us to give up the race of salvation, that we quit praying because we are convinced God’s not listening, or we ignore those dreams and visions because we find it difficult to believe they are God given.
He will try to bring sickness and all kinds of troubles and tribulations to stop us in our walk and service to God.
We don't know exactly what hindered Paul from returning to Thessalonica; opposition, illness, travel, complications, or a direct attack by Satan. But Satan worked in some way to keep him away, and in the same way, many of the difficulties that seem to prevent us from accomplishing God's work can be attributed to Satan (see EPHESIANS 6: 12).
But the truth is, nothing can stop God’s plans, we can do all things through Christ who is our strength (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).
Furthermore, when the devil seems to be hindering one’s service to God, our Almighty uses the time for our good; He uses the time to equips, prepare, and strengthen us to do the job in hand.
Paul's ultimate reward for his ministry was not money, prestige, or fame, but rather the knowledge that new believers lives had been changed by God through the preaching of the Good News, which is why he longed to see them.
No matter what ministry God has given you, your highest and greatest reward for your service should be the fruit, those who come to believe in Christ and are growing in Him.
Sharing the Good News, encouraging people to turn to God, supporting our brothers and sisters in Christ, isn't just for our pastors, ministers, and church leaders. My beloved, all believers are all called and gifted to serve God within the body of Christ and must actively do so.
My brethren, you can make a difference simply by sharing the Good News at every opportunity, telling your testimony, and every believer has one, and actively taking part in meetings, uniting in prayer and speaking out with boldness Gods word
And of course, help and support your brothers and sisters in Christ through their trials and challenges.
The Apostle plants, sows, and waters, he is a representative of the congregation, a messenger for God, a person who has the task of founding and establishing churches.
The Prophet Is a messenger of God; his place is not to manipulate, but to reveal what is coming to prepare the congregation, for “Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.”
‭‭Amos‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
The teacher is to teach the Gospel in all truth.
The Pastor is not there to control, but rather to shepherd, organise and host, and the Evangelist is to reach out to the lost.
Christ is the head of the whole body, and it is He who leads, guides, teaches, and brings about the signs and wonders through the whole body.
That is the Apostolic five fold ministry of Christ and every believer is called gifted, and anointed to operate in one or more of these categories.
It was never God’s intention that the church operate from the control of one minister or pastor, that is man’s church. But rather through the whole congregation by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Nor was it His intention that the church would operate once a week in a building. Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬-‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
That is church in the streets and communities, and with it comes the signs and wonders of God as a confirmation (MARK 16:30).
The fruits are growth in numbers as we witness lives become changed through teaching, revelation, deliverance, healing, and transformation.
But the truth is, real growth comes from brokenness. Therefore “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, God is calling you,equipping you, and preparing you, according to His plans and purposes for such a time as this.
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭4‬, ‭6‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

My beloved, our walk is not going to be easy. Therefore, focus on the promise, for what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming?
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

Don't Worry About Tomorrow Because Tomorrow Will Worry About Itself. Each Day Has Trouble Of It's Own

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 05:26:38 GMT

We Cannot Serve Two Masters

MATHEW 6:24-34
“”No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. “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; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬-‭34‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.6.24-34.NKJ

V

Jesus contrasted heavenly values with earthly values when He explained that our loyalty should be to those things that do not fade, for they cannot be stolen, or corrode.
Those are the things of heaven. Jesus said, ““Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We should not be fascinated with our possessions, or allow them to possess us.
We either store our treasures in God and belong to Him, or we store our treasures in this world where possessions have become more important than God.
Jesus tells us not to worry about our everyday needs because God through His Word promises to supply all things.
We believers who are fixed on Him don’t even need to ask because He knows your needs more than you and promises to provide when we “first seek His Kingdom and righteousness.”
Worry doesn't change your situation, but it steals your joy, your peace, and disrupts your productivity. Negativity and self-pity affects the way one thinks and even the way one treats others; it reduces one’s ability to trust God, and can lead to anxiety /depression, which is very damaging to one’s health.
It certainly won't add a single moment to your life, but for many has opened the door to unclean spirits such as fear and suicide.
Furthermore, negativity rubs off on others.
A negative word is nothing less than witchcraft that brings about curses (JAMES 3:10) and can draw people into their own negativity and self-pity.
Fear is the opposite of faith like hot is the opposite of cold and is in itself sin, for it is impossible to please God without it (HEBREWS 11:16).
Furthermore, fear Is the food of much of depression, which Is why when one is diagnosed with depression, it is usually described as anxiety/ depression.
The doctor will tell you it’s impossible to cure depression, but with counselling and pills it can be kept under control.
Surely, if it needs controlling, it is living in you.
The truth is, fear comes in because we invite it in, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But the Good News is, we believers have authority over all unclean spirits and demons including fear (LUKE 10:17), and therefore we can cast them out (JAMES 4:7).
Their is a major difference between worry and genuine concern. Worry immobilizes, but concern moves one into action.
“To seek first the Kingdom of God above all else" means to put God first in your life, to fill your thoughts with His desires and to become more like Jesus, to serve, worship, and obey Him in everything; that is what we believers are called to do.
There is a wonderful promise here; if we “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness”, all your needs will be added to you. Not some of them, all of them.
Not necessarily your wants, cravings, or fantasies, but everything that you need and what is good for you according to God’s plans and purposes in your life.
What is most important to you?
People, money, status, objects, goals, and other desires, all compete for priority and can easily become most important to you if you don't actively choose to make God your number one in every area your life.
My brethren, we cannot serve two masters.
Whilst we must live in this world, it cannot be our master. We cannot involve in the disgusting things in it; furthermore, whilst we need to use the things of this world such as cars, we cannot allow the things of this world to master over us by making them idols; that would be agreeing with and serving the devil, the god of this world.
Therefore, “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.””
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6:14-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Planning for tomorrow is wise, it's time well spent, but worrying about tomorrow is time wasted.
Careful planning and prayer is thinking ahead about goals, steps, and schedules, and trusting God which will close the doors to the worry and fear.
Furthermore, trust in God brings restoration to your God given spirit of love, power, and a sound mind, and will restore your strength which comes from joy in the Lord (NEHEMIAH 8:10).
Paul gave us good advice, saying, “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.

But As We Have Been Approved By God To Be Entrusted With The Gospel, Even So We Speak, Not Pleasing To Man, But God Tests Our Hearts

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 06:12:08 GMT

The New Is Here!

1 THESSALONIANS 2:1-6
“For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain. But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict. For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit. But as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a cloak for covetousness—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.
”‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭2:1-6‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/1th.2.1-6.NKJ

V

“Our coming visit to you was not in vain” refers to Paul's first visit to Thessalonia (see ACTS 17:1-9).
The Thessalonians knew that Paul had been imprisoned in Philippi just before his visit to Thessalonia (see ACTS 16:-17:1).
Fear of imprisonment did not keep Paul from sharing the Good News, and despite of the much opposition and the fret of imprisonment, God gave him courage and strength to boldly speak out, even from within the prison walls (ACT 16:16-40).
He didn't allow any obstacles to get in his way, nor did he soften the message, but rather spoke out in truth without expectation of gain.
Boldness is not reckless, but requires courage to press on through fear and do what is right.
Paul never allowed fear to stop him preaching in absolute truth, and it is clear, that Paul never preached out of personal gain; neither money, or self gratification, but out of love and the desire to please God and enlighten the people to the truth of Jesus Christ.
So often in today’s church, church leaders operate from selfish ambitions, money, status, and self gratification.
You know them, there pictures are all over the media, and rather focused on pleasing God by speaking boldly the truth of the gospel, they speak about themselves and to please people with promises of prosperity in the hope of an increase in tithes and offerings.
They speak out that what the people want to hear to fill the pews and often impose unnecessary religious rules and conditions and controls on the congregation.
This is the old church that operated by the leading of the Pastor or minister who managed everything rather than by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Their was little in the way of signs and wonders, but it felt good through glossy worship and preaching.
They shut down everything they didn’t want to hear such as Prophetic words they didn’t understand or what was conflicting with the Pastor’s plans and money making projects.
In Old Testament times, tithes and offerings were set up as a guide for people to give, for the church does need funding.
That is man’s church and it is time for change.
Tithes and offerings were important in Old Testament times, for they gave a guide to the congregation on how much they should give. But today, believers have the privilege of the indwelling Holy Spirit who guides in all truth.
Giving, along with one’s walk with God, should be by the leading of Spirit (GALATIANS 5:16-26) who is just.
In the first miracle, Jesus said to Mary, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.””
‭‭John‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
But Jesus time has come.
The wine has run out and those old wine skins are spent. As a result, more than 6000 churches have closed down in the last few years.
The wine represents the blood sacrifice.
The old church, put together by the likes of the Pharisees, and operated by the blood sacrifices of animals.
But now the new is here, Jesus church, empowered by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb that was slain.
God has and is preparing a new remnant, the new wine skins to receive the new wine as in the first miracle (JOHN 2:1-11).
Many Pastors and ministers are trying to hold on to the old in fear of losing their careers, status, and incomes, but it will be in vain.
It’s time to let go of the old and embrace the new; and accept Gods original plan of the five fold ministry of God.
“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
No longer shall the ministry revolve around the Pastor, for every member will be called into at least one of these five offices and God will use the whole congregation in an apostolic way, operating and speaking through all.
Jesus said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, that time is here and we are going to see the signs and wonders of God like never before.
But the change over will be painful for many church leaders who refuse to let go, for they believe that the old is better (LUKE 5:39), but Jesus saved the best until last (JOHN 2:10).
I tell you the truth, unless it’s Christ five fold ministry, it shall profit you nothing.
Like Paul, as God's very own people, we are called to share the Good News at every opportunity, and fear should not stop us.
Like Paul, we need to speak boldly in truth about our God whatever opposition we face.
We who are now operating in the new Apostolic five fold ministry are called to reach out to the people of the broken church and lead them into the new.
In today’s world, while God is moving in preparation for His return, the devil is bringing more and more evil to snatch people from God’s hands.
Believers are being misled and silenced over world affairs such as the vaccines, corruption, abortion, homosexuality, and such things.
But if God is calling us to speak out we must obey.
So how can we get the courage and the strength to speak boldly when we face such opposition, not just by our governments and the media, but at times from our friends and family too; or indeed others who persecute Christians or even threaten us with violence?
Like the Apostles, we need to pray for the Holy Spirit's power, boldness, and truth ACTS 4:31), and look for opportunities to talk about Christ.
Start in small ways one step at a time and allow your confidence to grow.
In our efforts to enlighten people, we may be tempted to alter our position just enough to make our message more palatable or use flattery or praise.
But however, like Paul, we must not soften our message to make it more acceptable; but rather by following Paul’s example, we can tailor our methods to each audience.
Although our presentation can be altered appropriately for each situation, the truth must never be compromised. It is not appropriate to butter someone up with half truths or man pleasing words; flattery is phony, and it covers up a persons real intentions.
Those who proclaim the Good News have a responsibility to be honest, so don't be tempted to tell them what they want to hear in order to win them over, but rather, tell them as it is by the leading of the Spirit.
We are supposed to be pleasing God not people, and you do them no favours by watering down the truth; a watered down gospel helps no one.
Paul continually emphasized Christ second coming throughout this book, because the Thessalonian church was being persecuted. Paul encouraged them to look forward to the deliverance that Christ would bring.
A believers hope is in the glorious return of Christ Jesus (TITUS 2:13).
Our perspective on life remains incomplete without this hope, but we can be sure, just as Christ was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven, He will return (ACTS 1:11); furthermore , He will fulfill all His promises of judgment and eternal life in paradise heaven.
Meanwhile my beloved, get out and share the
Good News in the streets and communities.
The lost are not going to miraculously walk into your church and ask for the truth.
Therefore, just as Jesus instructed, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen

On His Robe At His Thigh Was Written KING Of All Kings And LORD Of All Lords

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 05:34:03 GMT

Don't Be Complacent

REVELATIONS 19:11-16
“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 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. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
”‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:11-16‬ ‭NKJV‬
‬https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.19.11-16.NKJ

V

John's vision shifts, Heaven opens, and Jesus appears; this time, not as the Lamb, but as a warrior on a white horse, symbolizing victory.
Jesus came first as a Lamb to be a sacrifice for our debt of sin. He came not to judge the world, but to save it. Nevertheless, He is coming to take His people out of this dark world and then will return as a conqueror and King to execute judgment. (2 THESSALONIANS 1:7-10).
Jesus first coming brought and justified forgiveness and life everlasting to those who believe.
His second will bring judgment.
Although Jesus is called faithful and true, Word of God, and King of Kings and Lord of Lords, He carries a name that no one can understand, because no name can do Him justice.
He is greater than any description or expression the human mind can comprehend. He is greater than any sin, sickness or cancer, or any god or image. He is greater than any demonic power or witchcraft; nothing can stop what’s coming.
Jesus is in total control and His timing is perfect and unchangeable.
The battle lines have been drawn between God and evil, and the world is waiting for the King to ride onto the field.
Just as God created heaven and earth by His spoken Word, so He will strike the nations with His spoken Word.
Christ’s victory is Imminent, for as the Lord said through Isaiah, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
We all need to understand God's wrath exist alongside His mercy, and there must be balanced teaching about God's grace and His stand against sin.
In these days however, teaching about God's love and tolerance have become so predominant that God's anger seems to be mythical and is seriously watered down.
Such a portrayal of God hardly warns people away from sin, but nevertheless, it is real and will be terrible for those who have steadfastly refused him.
The truth is, while God is a God of grace, He is also a God of justice; His holiness demands it. Therefore, grace will never override justice. If it did, Jesus would not of sacrificed Himself on a cross to satisfy the Law and justify our new life Christ.
My beloved, be ready!
There will always be consequences for our actions both good and evil.
The time is fast approaching, therefore make sure you are right with God; that you stand with confidence before Him on the day of judgment.
Jesus way is the only way (JOHN 14:6), no other can spare you the wrath of God, not Mary, not the pope, not statues nor money, or images, nor any other god or person or object. “Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My brethren, we can see how dark our world has become. We see manufactured sickness, but the source of evil is not flesh and blood, but rather an invisible enemy (EPHESIANS 6:12) that has destroyed many lives, and has all but destroyed our businesses and the world financial systems. It has brought about poor health, anxiety/ depression, suicide, division’s, death, and empowered our corrupt governments with unprecedented controls.
We see wars and poverty like never before and it is these demonic beings that are the source of it all.
As we head toward the cashless society and the mark of the beast as written in Revelation 13:11-18, we are all witnessing the prophecies of God’s word falling into place like the last pieces of the puzzle.
My beloved, this is no time for complacency, Jesus return is imminent.
Be ready my brethren, the season is all but over and the end shall come.
All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
Please like and share to our brothers and sisters all around the world.
God bless you all.
