ACTIVATE YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY IN 2017!

ACTIVATE YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY IN 2017 (A must read special edition)!

Lets begin by reading this scriptural passage:

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death. We KNOW that whosoever is BORN of GOD sins NOT; but he that is begotten of God KEEPS himself, and that wicked one TOUCHES him NOT. And we KNOW that we are of God, and the whole world LIES in wickedness. And we KNOW that the SON of GOD is come, and has given us an understanding, that we may KNOW Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Little children, KEEP yourselves from idols. Amen. (1 John 5:17-21; 1 John 3:1-10).

It is unfortunate that many genuine Christians do not KNOW or note that what gives Satan license and access into our lives as Children of God in Christ in this World are what the Bible calls WORKS OF THE FLESH, which Jesus Christ purposefully came to destroy in us and which are:

1. Adultery

2. Fornication

3. Uncleanness

4. Lasciviousness

5. Idolatry

6. Witchcraft

7. Hatred

8. Variance

9. Emulations

10. Wrath

11. Strife

12. Sedition

13. Heresies

14. Envyings

15. Murders

16. Drunkenness

17. Revellings

Amongst others. (Galatians 5:16-21; Romans 1:28-32; 1 John 5:16-21).

They are the workings of the fallen human Flesh, which operates by LUST (aided by Satan and demons), through the fives senses of the human fallen FLESH. These are:

1. SEEING, through the human physical eyes of the human fallen Flesh.

2. HEARING, through the human physical ears of the human fallen Flesh.

3. SMELLING, through the human physical noses of the human fallen Flesh.

4. TASTING, through the human physical tongue of the human fallen Flesh.

5. FEELING, through the human physical skin of the human fallen Flesh.

The Bible counsels thus:

Love NOT the world, NEITHER the things that are in the world. If any man LOVE the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the flesh, and the LUST of the eyes, and the PRIDE of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17).

When you and I live according to or after the FLESH, we give SATAN license and access into our lives, to steal, kill and destroy in our lives and to de-activate our SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY of the Spirit of Christ within us. True!

Therefore, the Bible reveals thus:

For they that are AFTER the flesh do mind the things of the FLESH; but they that are AFTER the Spirit the things of the SPIRIT. For to be CARNALLY MINDED is DEATH (spiritual alienation from God); but to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED (spiritual alignment with God) is LIFE and PEACE. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:5-14; 1 John 5:16-21; Ephesians 4:20-32; 1 Thessalonians 5:19).

Do you get it?

Again, it is unfortunate that many genuine Christians do not KNOW or note also that what gives God license and access into our lives as Children of God in Christ in this World are what the Bible calls FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, which Jesus Christ purposefully came to birth and grow in us and which are:

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Longsuffering

5. Gentleness

6. Goodness

7. Faith

8. Meekness

9. Temperance

Amongst others. (Galatians 5:22-26; Hebrews 12:1-14).

This is the working of the human regenerated Spirit, which operates by LOVE (aided by the Spirit of God within it), through the fives senses of the human regenerated SPIRIT. These are:

1. ENLIGHTENMENT, through the human spiritual eyes of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.

2. IMAGINATION, through the human spiritual ears of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.

3. PERCEIVING (discerning), through the human spiritual noses of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.

4. INSPIRATION, the human spiritual tongue of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.

5. PROMPTING (quickening), the human spiritual skins of the human regenerated Spirit of the Spirit of God within.

When you and I live according to or after the SPIRIT, we give GOD license and access into our lives, to heal, help and defeat the Devil in our lives and to activate our SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY of His Spirit of Christ within us. True!

The Bible counsels thus:

And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For IF these things BE in you, and ABOUND, they MAKE you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that LACKS these things is blind, and CANNOT see afar off, and has forgotten that he was PURGED from his old sins. (2 Peter 1:5-9; 2 Peter 1:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Corinthians 12).

Do you get it?

If we must WALK (relate) with and WORK (response) to God, the way we are expected to, you and I must make conscious efforts to activate our individual spiritual senses by the help and operations of the Holy Spirit within us. True!

Now, know and note that the way you CANNOT truly survive and thrive on Earth without your physical five senses in good conditions and functions, likewise, you CANNOT truly survive and thrive on Earth without your spiritual five senses in good conditions and functions. True!

Spiritual SENSITIVITY in Christ in this World by the activities and operations of the SPIRIT of GOD within you is a must for you as a genuine child of God, who wants to live victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily in Christ (to please God) in this World. True!

Why do I say so?

1. Because ENLIGHTENMENT wise (with your spiritual eyes), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!

That is why Apostle Paul prayed thus:

Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the SPIRIT of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The EYES of your understanding being ENLIGHTENED; that you may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And has put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:15-23; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Like your physical eyes, your SPIRITUAL EYES must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to SEE promptly, the spiritual "SIGNALS" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.

Take note, take heed!

2. Because IMAGINATION wise (with your spiritual ears),  you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God, to be spiritually SENSITIVE to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalts itself against the KNOWLEDGE of GOD, and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Romans 10:1-17; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Romans 12:1,2).

What you consistently hear, creates imaginations (invisible images) in your spiritual mind. True!

Recall, faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God, creating divine invisible images in your spiritual mind to hold on to. (Romans 10:17; Philippians 4:8,9; 1 Corinthians 15:33).

Like your physical ears, your SPIRITUAL EARS must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to HEAR promptly, the spiritual "MESSAGES" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.

Take note, take heed!

3. Because PERCEIVING (discerning) wise (with your spiritual noses), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God,  to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus PERCEIVED, he said unto them, O you of little faith, why reason you among yourselves, because you have brought no bread? Do you not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up? (Matthew 16:5-9; Acts 10:34,35).

Like your physical noses, your SPIRITUAL NOSES must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to PERCEIVE (disern) promptly, the spiritual "SMELLS " from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.

Take note, take note!

4. Because INSPIRATION wise (with your spiritual tongue), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God,  to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion. I said, days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty gives them understanding. (Job 32:6-8).

Like your physical tongue, your SPIRITUAL TONGUE must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to TASTE promptly, the spiritual "FOODS" of the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.

Take note, take heed!

5. Because PROMPTING (quickening) wise (with your spiritual skin), you need to be spiritually and consistently empowered by the Spirit of God,  to be spiritually SENSITIVE enough to live to the fullness of Christ (victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily) as ordained by God for you in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, He said unto them, does this offend you? What and if you shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? It is the SPIRIT that QUICKENS; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:61-63).

Like your physical skin, your SPIRITUAL SKIN must be ALIVE and ALERT spiritually to FEEL promptly, the spiritual "EMOTIONS" from the Holy Spirit at all time and humbly and obediently acted upon accordingly by you, to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in Christ in this World.

Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals thus this truth as you and I ADVANTAGE in Christ in this World:

But as it is written, EYES has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which GOD has PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. But God has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches ALL things, yes, the DEEP things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows NO man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that WE might KNOW the THINGS that are freely GIVEN to us of God. Which things also we speak, NOT in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives NOT the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: NEITHER can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is SPIRITUAL judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:3-7; Romans 8:1-30).

Do you get it?

Are you taking advantage of the Holy Spirit of Christ within you?

Think about it and do something about it!

Again, let me emphasize here that Spiritual SENSITIVE in Christ in this World by the activities and operations of the SPIRIT of GOD within us is a must for you and I, who are  genuine children of God in Christ in this World and who wants to live victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily in Christ (to please God) in this World. True!

The Bible counsels thus:

SEE then that you walk CIRCUMSPECTLY (carefully), not as fools, but as wise, REDEEMING the time, because the DAYS are EVIL. Wherefore be you NOT unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the SPIRIT; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:15-21).

Do you get it?

Furthermore, apart from living in godly PURITY in Christ in this World to activate your spiritual SENSITIVITY, you also can activate it by:

2. Living by godly PRINCIPLES in Christ in this World. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; Philippians 4:8,9).

3. Living in godly PRAYER in Christ in this World. (Philippians 4:6; Luke 18:1-8).

4. Living in godly PEACE in Christ in this World. (Hebrews 12:14).

5. Living in godly PURPOSE in Christ in this World. (Luke 4:16-21).

6. Living in godly POWER in Christ in this World. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2).

7. Living in godly PERFORMACE in Christ in this World. (Acts 10:38).

8. Living in godly PROSPERITY in Christ in this World. (1 Timothy 6:6-12; Philippians 4:5).

9. Living in godly PROGRESS in Christ in this World. (Philippians 3:13,14).

10. Living in godly POSTERITY in Christ in this World. (John 17:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

Do you get it?

In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHERE you need to go or not to go to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!

In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHO you need to relate (deal) or not to relate (deal) with to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!

In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHAT you need to do (get involved) or not to do (get involved)  in to be victorious, successful and satisfIED in Christ in 2017. True!

In 2017, you need to spiritually know WHEN you need to act and not to act to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!

In 2017, you need to spiritually know HOW you need to or not to think, speak and act to be victorious, successful and satisfied in Christ in 2017. True!

This is one of the primary responsibilities of the Holy Spirit in our lives in Christ in this World. True!

That is why the Bible reveals thus:

1. For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14).

2. But if you be LED of the Spirit, you are NOT under the law. (Galatians 5:18).

Think about it and do something about it urgently!

2017...you & I, NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS!

God bless you.

YOU CANNOT VICTORIOUSLY, SUCCESSFULLY AND SATISFACTORILY LIVE IN CHRIST BY PHYSICAL FOOD ALONE IN THIS WORLD!

YOU CANNOT VICTORIOUSLY, SUCCESSFULLY AND SATISFACTORILY LIVE IN CHRIST BY PHYSICAL FOOD ALONE IN THIS WORLD!

Surprisingly, many genuine Children of God in Christ in this World still consciously or unconsciously think, speak and live as if they can victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily LIVE in Christ by physical FOOD alone in this World. True!

But, NO, it is not possible by God's design and plan for humans, who are living in this physical World. True!

You and I are designed and created individually by God to consists of:

1. A human SPIRIT that lives within a human body and feeds on His WORD as spiritual food to survive and succeed. True!

In addition, our human SPIRIT is designed by Him (God) to righteously interconnect and interact with Him (God) in the spirit World and through the human body interconnect and interact with the human World.

This is why Jesus Christ revealed thus:

God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24; 1 Corinthians 6:13-20).

Do you get it?

2. A human SOUL that lives within a human body as well and feeds on His WORD as spiritual food to be sound and succeed. True!

In addition, our human SOUL is designed by God to righteously interconnect and interact with other fellow human souls and other spirit beings in the spirit World as well and through the human body interconnect and interact with the human World.

Your dreams, visions, etc reveals to you the interconnections and interactions of your human soul with other human souls and other spirit beings. True!

Jesus Christ revealed thus:

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28; Matthew 16:26).

Do you get it?

3. A human BODY that feeds on the various created PLANTS and ANIMALS of GOD as physical food to survive and succeed. True!

In addition, our human BODY is designed by God to righteously interconnect and interact with other fellow human bodies in this physical human World. True!

That is why the Bible reveals thus:

Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the BODY is not for FORNICATION, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God has both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know you NOT that your BODIES are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know you NOT that he which is joined to an harlot (anyone not legally married to you) is ONE body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is JOINED unto the LORD is one SPIRIT. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is WITHOUT the body; but he that commits fornication sins against his OWN body. What? know you NOT that your BODY is the TEMPLE of the HOLY GHOST which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in your BODY, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:13-20; 1 Corinthians 3:16-18).

Do you get it?

Feeding these three dimensions of you, with QUALITY and QUANTITY of spiritual and physical food par time matters for your spiritual and physical HEALTH and WEALTH survival, success and satisfaction in Christ in this World. True!

That is why Jesus Christ requested Apostle Peter thus:

So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me more than these? He said unto Him, Yea, Lord; you knows that I love you. He said unto him, FEED my lambs. He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? He saith unto Him, yes, Lord; you knows that I love you. He said unto him, FEED my sheep. He said unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, love you me? And he said unto him, Lord, you knows all things; you knows that I love you. Jesus saith unto him, FEED my sheep. (John 21:15-17).

Jesus Christ was not telling Peter to FEED His sheep with physical food, but spiritual food of the WORD of GOD. True!

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled thus:

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 whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:16,17).

And Apostle John counselled thus:

Beloved, I wish ABOVE all things that you may PROSPER (with WEALTH) and be in HEALTH, even as your SOUL prospers. (3 John 1:2).

Apostle John counselled us above to take much care of our soul, because our soul prosperity (spiritual health and wealth) leads to our physical health and wealth as well in Christ in this World. True!

The Psalmist reveals the different dimensions and the characteristics of the WORD of GOD thus:

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 for ever: the JUDGEMENT of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. MORE to be desired are they THAN gold, yes, than much fine gold: SWEETER also THAN honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant WARNED: and in KEEPING of them there is great REWARD. Who can understand his errors? CLEANSE you me from secret faults.  KEEP back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; LET them NOT have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. LET the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:7-14; Philippians 4:8,9).

Apostle Paul described the different dimensions and characteristics of the WORD of GOD thus:

All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

The inspired WORD of our GOD is truly powerful?

Many genuine Christians do not grow in PEACE and GRACE of GOD in Christ in this World, because they are only growing their physical human BODY daily, by feeding on physical food. They are not consciously and consistently as well, growing their human SPIRIT and human SOUL daily, by feeding on the spiritual WORD of the GOD. True!

But Apostle Peter revealed that:

GRACE and PEACE be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according as His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH the KNOWLEDGE of Him that has called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:2-4).

In the Old Testament (covenant) era, Moses revealed clearly thus, that you and I cannot spiritually survive, succeed and be satisfy in this World without (the Holy Spirit inspired) WORD of GOD:

And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to HUMBLE you, and to PROVE you, to KNOW what was in your heart, whether you would KEEP His commandments, or no. And He humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that He might make you KNOW that man does NOT live by bread ONLY, but BY every WORD that proceeds OUT of the MOUTH of the LORD does man live. (Deuteronomy 8:2,3).

Jesus Christ in the New Testament (covenant) era, which He ushered, revealed and confirmed as well this truth thus:

And the devil said unto him, if you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That MAN shall NOT live by bread ALONE, but by every WORD of God. (Luke 4:3,4).

So,

1. How do you THINK as a Child of God in Christ in this World, you can victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily live in this World without the daily intake and obedience to the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD? How?

2. How do you SPEAK as a Child of God in Christ in this World? Can you victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily live in this World without the daily intake and obedience to the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD? How?

3. How do you LIVE as a Child of God in Christ in this World? Can you victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily live in this World without the daily intake and obedience to the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD? How?

Lets no man deceive you, you cannot victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily LIVE in Christ in this World without the Holy Spirit's daily inspired WORD of GOD. Never!

It is unfortunate that many Christians think they are living a victorious, successful and satisfactory lives in Christ in this World, just because they can meet their daily basic needs or do some of the things, rich people of the World do. So unfortunate!

The Bible clearly states thus that only those who are being LED by the SPIRIT of GOD are SONS of GOD:

For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14).

Only those, who hears and humbly obey the WORD of GOD as inspired by the SPIRIT of GOD within them daily, are the Sons and Daughters of God in Christ in this World. True!

Futhermore, only those who are being LED by the SPIRIT of GOD are living GRACIOUS lives in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But if you be LED of the SPIRIT, you are NOT under the law. (Galatians 5:18).

Again, only those, who hears and humbly obey the WORD of GOD as inspired by the SPIRIT of GOD within them daily, are living under the GRACE of GOD in Christ in this World. True!

This is because,

The SPIRIT of GOD is the personality of the Godhead to teach and guide to ALL truth in Christ in this World. True! (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-16).

The SPIRIT of GOD is the personality of Godhead, who is to reveal to us, the things that are freely given to us by GOD in Christ in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:3-7).

The SPIRIT of GOD is the personality of Godhead, who is to help pray according to the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD in Christ in this World. True! (Romans 8:26-28; Romans 12:1,2).

Even, JESUS CHRIST, who is our ultimate Role Model for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth said is secret was thus:

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making Himself equal with God. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son CAN do NOTHING of Himself, but what He SEES the Father DO: for what things soever He DOES, these also DOES the Son likewise. For the Father LOVES the Son, and SHOWS Him ALL things that Himself DOES: and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel. I CAN of mine OWN self do NOTHING: as I HEAR, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek NOT mine OWN will, but the WILL of the Father who has sent me. (John 5:18-20,30; Hebrews 12:1-3).

And the Bible reveals that:

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE as HE is, SO are WE in this WORLD. (1 John 4:17).

Do you get it?

Therefore, many genuine Christians do not understand, when Jesus Christ said thus:

But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 3:33,34).

Jesus Christ was saying that you and I should on daily basis, seek first the KINGDOM of GOD (the presence and power of the Holy Spirit) and His RIGHTEOUSNESS (right standing with God as a result of believing and taking action by faith, based on the Word of God as inspired by the Holy Spirit within us) and other of needs will be added unto us. True! (Romans 4:16-25).

Do you get it?

Again, many do not understand, when Jesus Christ taught how to PRAY thus:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be your name. Your KINGDOM come. Your WILL be DONE in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthews 6:9,10).

Jesus Christ was saying, ask the Father in Heaven to send down His KINGDOM (the presence and power of the Holy Spirit), so that His WILL as is in Heaven be on Earth as regard what is being ask for. True!

Furthermore, neither do many understand when Jesus Christ said thus:

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the KINGDOM of GOD should come, He answered them and said, The KINGDOM of GOD comes NOT with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the KINGDOM of GOD is WITHIN you. And he said unto the disciples, the days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it. And they shall say to you, see here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. (Luke 17:20-23).

Jesus Christ was saying by the KINGDOM of GOD within us, the PRESENCE and POWER of the Holy Spirit is within us and you and I need not run from pillars to posts for our spiritual and physical needs to be met. True!

If you will recall, the Bible reveals thus:

Now unto Him that is ABLE to do exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works IN us. (Ephesians 3:20).

Do you get it?

This is because Himself, who is the POWER and WISDOM of God is the same Holy Spirit that is within each of us, who believe in Him by faith.

The Bible reveals thus:

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24; 2 Corinthians 3:17).

Now, know and note that right from the beginning of creation, nothing of God happens until His Spirit moves and His Spirit moves only to execute divine inspired WORD alone. Therefore, you cannot victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily LIVE in Christ in this World, by not daily hearing, thinking, speaking and living by the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD.

Again,  note I do not say the letter of the Word of God, but the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD. True!

This is because, the Bible reveals thus:

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; NOT of the LETTER, BUT of the SPIRIT: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. (2 Corinthians 3:6).

Do you get it?

Jesus Christ said thus:

It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profits nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. (John 6:63).

This means that, you and I must spend TIME daily to PRAY and STUDY the WORD of God, to be able to hear the inspired dimension of the Word of God for that day and humbly and obediently think, speak and live accordingly. True!

This is the one and only way to victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily think, speak and live daily accordingly to the WILL of God in Christ for us in this World.

Apostle Paul revealed a truth thus:

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your PRAYER, and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19)

Do you get it?

Take note, take heed!

Do have a mind and life transformation weekend by the Holy Spirit inspired WORD of GOD in Jesus name.

God bless you.

THE ORDER OF THREE (3) ENEMIES THAT ARE AGAINST YOU FULFILLING YOUR DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose in Christ) IN THIS WORLD!

THE ORDER OF THREE (3) ENEMIES THAT ARE AGAINST YOU FULFILLING YOUR DIVINE DESTINY (Life Purpose in Christ) IN THIS WORLD!

1. SELF.

Your INTIMATE enemy. True!

The  Bible reveals thus:

Blessed is the man that ENDURES temptation: for when he is TRIED, he shall RECEIVE the CROWN of LIFE, which the Lord has promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is DRAWN away of his own LUST, and ENTICED. Then when lust has CONCEIVED, it brings forth SIN: and SIN, when it is FINISHED, bringeth forth DEATH. (James 1:12-15; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

Do you get it?

Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:

Love NOT the world, neither the things that are IN the world. If any man LOVE the WORLD, the love of the Father is NOT in him. For ALL that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world PASSES away, and the lust thereof: but he that DOES the WILL of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17; 1 John 5:16-21).

Take note, take heed!

2. SINNERS (vis-à-vis unbelievers)

Your CLOSE enemy. True!

Jesus Christ revealed thus:

Behold, I SEND you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be you therefore WISE as serpents, and HARMLESS as doves. But BEWARE of MEN: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And you shall be brought before governors and kings for MY sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they DELIVER you up, take NO thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be GIVEN you in that same hour what you shall speak. For it is NOT you that speak, but the SPIRIT of your Father which speaks IN you. And the brother shall DELIVER up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And you shall be HATED of ALL men for MY name's sake: but he that ENDURES to the END shall be SAVED. But when they persecute you in this city, flee yyou into another: for verily I say unto you, you shall NOT have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. The disciple is NOT above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he BE as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Fear them NOT therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you upon the housetops. And fear NOT them which kill the body, but are NOT able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell....(Matthew 10:16-28, 29-42).

Do you get it?

Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:

Be you NOT unequally YOKED together with UNBELIEVERS: for WHAT fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? and WHAT communion has light with darkness? And WHAT concord has Christ with Belial? or WHAT part has he that believes with an infidel? 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 in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.  Wherefore COME OUT from among them, and be you SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and touch NOT the unclean thing; and I will receive you,  And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters, said the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

Take note, take heed!

3. SATAN.

Your arc, but CASUAL enemy. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. WOE to the INHABITERS of the EARTH and of the sea! FOR the DEVIL is COME down unto you, HAVING great wrath, because he KNOWS that he has but a SHORT time. (Revelation 12:12).

Do you get it?

Therefore, the Bible counsel thus:

Be sober, be VIGILANT; because YOUR adversary the DEVIL, as a roaring lion, WALKS about, SEEKING whom he may devour: Whom RESIST stedfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have SUFFERED a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, SETTLE you. (1 Peter 5:7-10).

Take note, take heed!

Are you shocked and surprised that though SATAN is your  archenemy, because he enticed, influenced and pressurised your SELF to SIN and SINNERS (vis-à-vis unbelievers) against you, as a child of God in Christ in this World, yet he is your CASUAL enemy?

Don't be shocked and surprised!

Why do I say so?

It is because if you supernaturally conquer your INTIMATE enemy, SELF, you will supernaturally conquer your CLOSE enemy, SINNERS (vis-à-vis unbelievers) and ultimately, supernaturally conquer your arc, but CASUAL enemy, SATAN. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

We know that whosoever is born of God SINS not; but he that is begotten of God KEEPS himself, and that wicked one TOUCHS him not. (1 John 5:18; Romans 8:1-14).

Do you get it?

If you consciously and consistently keep your SELF checked, according to the WORD of GOD under the influence of the SPIRIT of GOD, SINNERS (vis-à-vis unbelievers) and SATAN will have no power and dominion over you, rather you will have power and dominion over them. True!

Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:

And having in a READINESS to REVENGE all disobedience, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED. (2 Corinthians 10:6).

Furthermore, the Bible counsels thus:

Wherefore, 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 which works IN you both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure. Do ALL things without murmurings and disputings: That you may be blameless BLAMELESS and HARMLESS, the sons of God, WITHOUT rebuke, in the MIDST of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world; HOLDING forth the WORD of LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. (Philippians 2:12-16).

Take note, take heed!

Always remember as genuine Children of God in Christ in this World, the Bible reveals thus:

...WE are more than CONQUERORS through HIM (Christ) that LOVED us. Halleluyah! (Romans 8:37; Ephesians 6:10-18).

Think about it!

Let your LIFE in Christ in this World HONOUR God, even if you have to do it ALONE in Christ in this World. If you do, you will be greatly honoured by God and gloriously REWARDED by Him as well on this Earth and in Heaven some day. True! (Luke 18:28-30; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

God bless you.

TAKE THE WORD OF GOD SERIOUS ENOUGH AND IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO WORK FOR YOU IN DUE TIME!

TAKE THE WORD OF GOD SERIOUS ENOUGH AND IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO WORK FOR YOU IN DUE TIME!

You need to know and note as a genuine CHILD of GOD that whenever God wants to do something for His people, He will speak forth or send forth His WORD. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

He sent His WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:20).

However, the WORD of GOD:

1. Sometimes comes before TIME, for a situation that is to happen in the FUTURE (season). True!

2. Sometimes comes on TIME, for a situation that is (already) happening in the PRESENT (season). True!

3. Sometimes comes after TIME, for a situation that as already happened in the PAST (season). True!

This is because God is a PURPOSE-driven God that works with TIME and SEASON. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

TO every thing there is a SEASON, and a TIME to every PURPOSE under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has MADE every thing BEAUTIFUL in His TIME: also He has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

Do you get it?

However, Jesus Christ described different types of receptiveness and responsiveness to the WORD of GOD thus:

The Bible reveals thus:

Hear you therefore the parable of the sower. When any one hears the WORD of the kingdom, and understands it NOT, then comes the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the WORD, and anon with joy receive it; Yet has he NOT root in himself, but dures for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the WORD; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the WORD, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (Matthew 13:18-23; 3-9).

That is why must you take the WORD of GOD serious enough, so that it will be enough to work for you in due time.

You must make conscious and consistent efforts to take the WORD of GOD serious enough, because the enemy of your soul and success will fight it in your life to an extent, where it will not perfect and profit you, if you let him have his way in your life in anyway, especially through sinful ways. True! (1 Peter 5:8-10; 1 John 5:16-21; James 1:12-15).

You must make conscious and consistent efforts to take the WORD of GOD serious enough, because:

1. The WORD of GOD is God Himself. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1).

Take note, take heed!

2. The WORD of GOD created the WORLD.

The Bible reveals thus:

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the WORD of GOD, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (Hebrews 11:3).

Take note, take heed!

3. The WORD of GOD does not return to Him void (empty). True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.  For my thoughts are NOT your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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 returns NOT thither, but waters the earth, and makes 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 out of my mouth: it shall NOT return unto me VOID, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I SENT it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. (Isaiah 55:7-12).

Take note, take heed!

4. The WORD of GOD is quick, powerful and sharper than two-edged sword...True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For the WORD of GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).

Take note, take heed!

5. The WORD of GOD coverts the souls and renews the minds to know and prove what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for par time par situation. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you 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; Psalm 19:7-14).

Take note, take heed!

6. The WORD of GOD perfects and thoroughly furnishes to all good works in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:16,17).

Take note, take heed!

7. The WORD of GOD rewards commitment and compliance. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall BE like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that BRINGS forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he DOES shall PROSPER. (Psalm 1:1-3; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:7-14).

Take note, take heed!

Therefore, when you received the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD for your situation, do not play or gamble with it. You must take it seriously enough, for it to be enough to work for you in due time. True!

Take note, take heed!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled thus:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the GOD of PEACE shall be with you. (Philippians 4:8,9).

Do you get it!

Take note, take heed!

Enjoy your weekend!

God bless you.

RECEIVING AND ENJOYING GOD'S GRACE IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD THROUGH A CHILD-LIKE ATTITUDE!

RECEIVING AND ENJOYING GOD'S GRACE IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD THROUGH A CHILD-LIKE ATTITUDE!

Many Christians promptly need to know and note, spiritually speaking, that the KINGDOM of GOD in Christ in this World is the PERSON and POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT in operation in and through the lives of believers in Christ in this World. True!

Jesus Christ reveals thus:

And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the KINGDOM of GOD should come, he answered them and said, The KINGDOM of GOD comes not with OBSERVATION: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the KINGDOM of GOD is within you. And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you shall not see it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go NOT after them, NOR follow them. (Luke 17:20-23; Matthew 12:28).

The Bible reveals thus:

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us. (Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 2:13).

That is why Jesus Christ taught us to pray thus:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Your KINGDOM come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Mattnew 6:9,10).

Furthermore, Jesus Christ counselled us thus:

But SEEK you FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:33; 34).

Do you get it?

Jesus Christ was saying that when we seek first the KINGDOM of GOD (the person and power of the Holy Spirit) and His righteousness through PRAYER, the Will of God will be done for us on Earth as it is in Heaven for us, to meet our needs. True! (Matthew 6:33,34; Matthew 6:9,10; Ephesians 1:3,4).

Again, many Christians urgently need to know and note, spiritually speaking, that the GRACE of GOD in Christ in this World is the supplied PROVISIONS and PURPOSEFUL ACTIONS (cum ACTIVITIES) of the HOLY SPIRIT of Jesus Christ in and through the lives of believers in Christ in this World par time par situation. True!

Apostle Paul revealed thus:

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your PRAYER, and the SUPPLY of the SPIRIT of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 1:19).

That is why the Bible counsels us thus:

Let us therefore COME boldly unto the THRONE of GRACE, that we may OBTAIN mercy, and FIND grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16).

Do you get it?

In the light of the above, you will understand when Jesus Christ said thus:

And they brought unto Him also INFANTS, that He would touch them: but when His disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But JESUS called them unto Himself, and said, Suffer little CHILDREN to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of SUCH is the KINGDOM of GOD. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall NOT receive the KINGDOM of GOD as a little CHILD shall in no wise enter therein. (Luke 18:15-17).

JESUS CHRIST was saying that to enter or enjoy the KINGDOM of GOD (the person and power of the Holy Spirit), who supplies the GRACE of GOD, you have to receive Him with a mind as a little CHILD before God in this World. True!

What does this mean in practical terms as regards you living in Christ in this World?

It means that, for you to receive or enjoy GOD'S GRACE in Christ or the supply of the SPIRIT of Christ in this World par time par your situation:

1. You have to THINK as a little CHILD before God. True!

2. You have  to SPEAK as a little CHILD before God. True!

3. You have to LIVE as a little CHILD before God. True!

Do you get it?

This is because a Child-like attitude before God is a heart that is HUMBLE before God in Christ in this World. True!

King David said thus:

For you (God) desires NOT sacrifice; else would I give it: you delights NOT in burnt offering. The SACRIFICES of GOD are a broken spirit: a BROKEN and a CONTRITE heart, O God, you will NOT despise. (Psalm 51:16,17; Romans 12:1,2).

Jesus Christ informed us thus:

Blessed are the POOR in SPIRIT: for theirs is the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. (Matthew 5:3).

Do you get it?

1. Too many Christians are too ADULT or PROUD in their THINKING before God. Trying hard to reason out all things before God. True!

2. Too many Christians are too ADULT or PROUD in their SPEAKING before God. Trying hard to defend all things before God. True!

3. Too many Christians are too ADULT or PROUD in their DOING before God. Trying hard to figure out all things before God. True!

Don't be one!

While spiritual growing and maturing up in Christ in this World is being encouraged, a Child-like attitude is needed to receive, live, enjoy and stay in GOD'S GRACE in Christ in this World, the supply of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that meets our needs par time par our situation. True! (1 Corinthians 13:11; Galatians 4:1-11).

Therefore, you and I must not grow or mature in Christ in this World to an extend:

1. Where we do not THINK before God in Christ in this World as a little CHILD. Never!

That is a dangerous state or condition to be in Christ before God in this World. True!

2. Where we do not SPEAK before God in Christ in this World as a little CHILD. Never!

That is a dangerous status or position to be in Christ before God in this World. True!

3. Where we do not LIVE before God in Christ in this World as a little CHILD. Never!

That is a dangerous station or place to be in Christ before God in this World. True!

The Bible makes it clear that GOD'S GRACE is given more thus:

But He gives MORE grace. Wherefore He said, GOD resists the PROUD, but gives GRACE unto the HUMBLE (Child-like attitude at heart before God in Christ in this World). SUBMIT yourselves therefore 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. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall LIFT you up. (James 4:6-10).

Apostle Peter counselled us this way thus:

HUMBLE yourselves therefore 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. Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may DEVOUR: Whom RESIST steadfast in the FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, AFTER that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5:6-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:14).

It is up to you and I to stay humble or to have Child-like attitude before God in Christ at all time in this World. It is wise and smart!

Always keep in mind this Biblical counsel:

Let NO man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to BE wise in this world, let him BECOME a fool, that he may BE wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He TAKES the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord KNOWS the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; ALL are yours; And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:18-23; 1 Corinthians 1:24-31).

Do have a gracious weekend!

God bless you.

YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, WHO STRENGTHENS YOU BY HIS SPIRIT!

YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, WHO STRENGTHENS YOU BY HIS SPIRIT!

Many genuine Christians do not know that they are expected to be TAUGHT indirectly by the HOLY SPIRIT at their initial stage in their walk with God through spiritually matured MEN and WOMEN and are expected to spiritually grow up to be aware and TAUGHT directly without MEN undue interference by the same HOLY SPIRIT of Christ, which they have also received from God. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

But the anointing (HOLY SPIRIT) which YOU have RECEIVED of Him abides in YOU, and you need NOT that any man teach you: but as the same anointing (HOLY SPIRIT) teaches YOU of ALL things, and is TRUTH, and is no lie, and even as it has TAUGHT you, you shall abide in Him. (1 John 2:17; John 8:31,32).

The Fivefold ministers and ministries have these primary objectives:

1. PERFECTING of the Saints.

2. WORK of the ministry.

3. EDIFYING of the Body of Christ.

The Bible reveals thus:

And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the PERFECTING of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: TILL we ALL come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be NO more CHILDREN, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may GROW UP into Him in ALL things, which is the Head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16).

The above scriptural reference reveals that the fivefold ministers and ministries are to GROW UP the men and women of the Body of Christ to come in the UNITY of the FAITH and KNOWLEDGE of the SON of GOD in this World, where everyone in the Body is not tossed to and fro any longer by any wind of doctrines. True!

This can only be for each person in the Body of Christ, when the fivefold ministers and ministries consciously and consistently grow up the saints under their watch and care to individually or personally, HEAR the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ within them, LEARN from Him and be LED and HELPED by Him each day. True!

If the above sacred and saintly responsibilities of the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to the Body of Christ are well carried out to please God and not themselves, men and women in Body of Christ should be able to HEAR, beTAUGHT, be LED and be HELPED by the SPIRIT of CHRIST in them individually without much referring to my Apostle says, my Prophet says, my Evangelist says, my Pastor says or my Teacher says as we hear so often today. But rather, it will be the Holy Spirit says to me. That is how God wants it. True!

The Bible reveals God's desire for each of His Children in the New Covenant era in Christ thus:

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For THIS is the COVENANT that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will PUT my laws into their MIND, and WRITE them in their HEARTS: and I will BE to them a GOD, and they shall BE to me a PEOPLE: And they shall NOT teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, KNOW the Lord: for ALL shall KNOW me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old is ready to vanish away. (Hebrews 8:9-13).

Do you get it?

Therefore, the aim of any genuine man or woman of God should be to assist every Child of God in Christ under his or her watch and care to:

1. HEAR the Spirit of God that is within them without him or her unnecessary and undue interference in their walk and work with God, the Father.

The Bible counsels thus:

For it is NOT you that speak, but the SPIRIT of your Father which speaks IN you. (Matthew 10:20; 1 Peter 5:1-10).

Take note, take heed!

2. Be TAUGHT by the Spirit of God that is within them without him or her unnecessary and undue interference in their walk and work with God, the Father.

The Bible counsels thus:

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit) which you have RECEIVED of Him ABIDES in you, and you NEED NOT that any man teach you: but as the same ANOINTING (Holy Spirit) teaches you of ALL things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has TAUGHT you, you shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27; John 8:32; 1 Peter 5:1-10).

Take note, take heed!

3. Be LED by the Spirit of God that is within them without him or her unnecessary and undue interference in their walk and work with God, the Father.

The Bible counsels thus:

For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the SONS of GOD. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; 1 Peter 5:1-10).

Take note, take heed!

4. Be HELPED by the Spirit of God that is within them without him or her unnecessary and undue interference in their walk and work with God, the Father.

The Bible counsels thus:

Likewise the SPIRIT also HELPS our infirmities: for we know NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:26-28; 1 Peter 5:1-10).

Take note, take heed!

If the above scriptural expectation from the fivefold ministers and ministries to the saints is not so for you after more than three years under such spiritual leader's watch and care, I will counsel you to seek the Lord on what to do about your situation. This is because CHRISTIANITY is not a spiritual RELIGION, but spiritual RELATIONSHIP. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Luke 13:6-9).

The Bible reveals true Christianity as thus:

The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION (fellowship) of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14).

That is why, Jesus Christ before physically leaving the Earth said thus:

Howbeit when he, the SPIRIT of TRUTH, is come, He will GUIDE you into ALL truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will SHOW you things to come. He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall SHOW it unto you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall SHOW it unto you. A little while, and yoh shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:13-16).

Do you get it?

With the above understanding in mind, that we as believers in the lord Jesus Christ ought to grow up to be individual teachers and oracles (priests) of God in Christ in this World, Apostle Paul complained thus:

For when for the time you OUGHT to be TEACHERS, you have NEED that one teach you AGAIN which be the first principles of the ORACLES of GOD; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:12-14; Revelation 5:9,10; 1 Peter 2:9,10; 1 Peter 4:11).

Are you one of the over-aged babes in the Kingdom or one of the full-aged adults in the Kingdom based on your understanding of the Word of God and leading and obeying of the Spirit of God within you to discern both good and evil?

Think about it and say to yourself this year, never again will I be counted among the many over-aged babies in the Kingdom, but among the few full-aged adults. Such decision is pleasing to God. True! (Hebrews 5:12-15; 1 Corinthians 13:11; 1 Peter 2:2).

Always, keep in mind:

1. That it is not pride in the Kingdom of God to personally SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for yourself. It is God's desire for you after you have being assisted by men over time to know Him personally and grow in Him to an extent of knowing and personally SEARCHING the scriptures for yourself, by the help of His Spirit of Christ that within you. True! (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:11).

2. That it is not pride in the Kingdom of God to be spiritually HEARING the HOLY SPIRIT for yourself. It is God's desire for you after you have being assisted by men over time to know Him personally and grow in Him to an extent of knowing and spiritually HEARING for yourself, His Spirit of Christ that within you. True! (Philippians 4:8,9).

3. That it is not pride in the Kingdom of God to be spiritually TAUGHT by the HOLY SPIRIT alone. It is God's desire for you after you have being assisted by men over time to know Him personally and grow in Him to an extent of knowing and spiritully LEARNING for yourself, from His Spirit of Christ that within you. True! (1 John 2:27).

4. That it is not pride in the Kingdom of God to be spiritually LED by the HOLY SPIRIT alone. It is God's desire for you after you have being assisted by men over time to know Him personally and grow in Him to an extent of knowing and spiritually FOLLOWING for yourself, His Spirit of Christ that within you. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

5. That it is not pride in the Kingdom of God in Christ to be spiritually HELPED by the HOLY SPIRIT alone. It is God's desire for you after you have being assisted by men over time to know Him personally and grow in Him to an extent of knowing and being spiritually HELPED by His Spirit of Christ that within you. True! (Romans 8:26-28).

This is a true saying, take note, take heed!

Remember, you are limited by the truths you are learning by men alone, but unlimited by the truths you would learn from the Holy Spirit alone. The latter teaches you ALL things, because Himself alone knows the deep things of God and those things concerning your existence in Christ in this World. No one else does. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27).

Think about it!

It is only, when you consciously and consistently GROW UP personally and spiritually, to know how to hear, learn, be led and be helped by the SPIRIT of GOD that is within you, that you can truly and practically say like Apostle Paul, "I do ALL things through Christ, who strengthens me". True! (Philippians 4:13).

Take note, take heed!

God bless you.

WHAT YOUR FAITH IS STANDING ON MATTERS!

WHAT YOUR FAITH IS STANDING ON MATTERS!

The Bible reveals thus:

So then FAITH comes by HEARING, and hearing by the WORD of GOD. (Romans 10:17).

FAITH comes by hearing the SPIRIT of FAITH that within you, speaking DIRECTLY the WORD of GOD or the WORD of FAITH of God in Christ to you concerning your situation par time. True! (2 Corinthians 4:13; Romans 10:17; Romans 10:8).

FAITH comes by hearing the SPIRIT of FAITH that is within other men, speaking INDIRECTLY the WORD of GOD or the WORD of FAITH of God in Christ to you concerning your situation par time. True! (2 Corinthians 4:13; Romans 10:17; Romans 10:8).

That is why Apostle Paul said thus:

And I, brethren, when I CAME to you, came NOT with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my SPEECH and my PREACHING was NOT with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER: That your FAITH should NOT stand in the wisdom of MEN, but in the POWER of God. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

1. Who is INSPIRING your FAITH matters!

Men or the Holy Spirit?

Take note, take heed!

2. Whose WISDOM your FAITH is standing on matters!

The wisdom of men or the Wisdom of God?

Take note, take heed!

3. Whose POWER your FAITH is standing on matters!

The power of men or the Power of God?

Take note, take heed!

The Bible reveals thus:

But there is a SPIRIT in MAN: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty gives them understanding. (Job 32:8).

Do you get it?

Today,

1. We have so much EXCELLENCY OF SPEECH coming from our altars, instead of the Wisdom of God in the demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER. Therefore, lots of God's people FAITH are not producing expected results for them because their FAITH are not STANDING on the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD vis-a-vis the POWER of GOD, but on the Excellency of speech. What a waste of time, effort and faith?

Take note, take heed!

2. We have so much of the WISDOM OF MEN coming from our altars, instead of the Wisdom of God in the demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER. Therefore, lots of God's people FAITH are not producing expected results because their FAITH are not STANDING on the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD vis-a-vis the POWER of GOD, but on the wisdom of men. What a waste of time, effort and faith?

Take note, take heed!

3. We have so many ENTICING WORDS OF MAN'S WISDOM coming from our altars, instead of the Wisdom of God in the demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER. Therefore, lots of God's people FAITH are not producing expected results because their FAITH are not STANDING on the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD vis-a-vis the POWER of GOD, but on the enticing word of man's wisdom. What a waste of time, effort and faith?

Take note, take heed!

Furthermore, today, we have so much SELF-INSPIRED THOUGHTS coming from we Christians, instead of the Wisdom of God in the demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER. Therefore, lots of us FAITH are not producing expected results for us because our FAITH are not STANDING on the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD of GOD vis-a-vis the POWER of GOD, but on self-inspired thoughts. What a waste of time, effort and faith?

Take note, take heed!

Why should your FAITH stand on the inspired or empowered WORD OF GOD?

Because the Bible reveals thus concerning the Wisdom and Power of God:

But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God. (1 Corinthians 1:24; Matthew 7:24-27).

Do you get it?

JESUS CHRIST is the Power and Wisdom of God. True!

If your FAITH stands on the Holy Spirit inspired or empowered WORD OF GOD, it will be standing on JESUS CHRIST Himself, who is the spiritual FOUNDATION of God for us all His Children to build on. Halleluyah!

Jesus Christ revealed thus:

Therefore whosoever HEARS these sayings of mine, and DOES them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it FELL NOT: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. And every one that HEARS these sayings of mine, and DOES them NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it FELL: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:24-27; James 1:22-25).

Do you get it?

Apostle Paul confirmed thus:

For we are labourers together with God: you are God's husbandry, you are God's building. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another builds thereon. But let every man take heed how he builds thereupon. For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be REVEALED by FIRE; and the fire shall try EVERY man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he has built thereupon, he shall receive a REWARD. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:9-15).

For every of your situation, seek for the inspired or empowered WORD of GOD (that is, the spoken WORD of FAITH directly from within you by the Spirit of God to you or indirectly through other men by the Spirit of God to you) for that situation of yours and hold on to it long enough and you will see the reality of it by the faithfulness and power of God in due time. True!

Always remember, the Bible reveals thus:

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of GOD; Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the LETTER kills, but the SPIRIT gives life. (2 Corinthians 3:5,6).

Jesus Christ said thus:

It is the spirit that quickens; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT and they are LIFE. (John 6:63).

Do you get it?

Until you get LIFE out of the LETTER of the WORD of GOD by the inspiration of the SPIRIT of GOD for your situation, your FAITH is dead and cannot produce and profit you. True!

Think about it!

God bless you.

INCREASE YOUR FAITH, NOT YOUR FAST! (A must read special edition)

INCREASE YOUR FAITH, NOT YOUR FAST! (A must read special edition)

Your FAITH in God's FAITHFULNESS, WILLINGNESS and ABILITY to come to your help and rescue to see you through your challenges should proceed and exceed your FAST!

The Bible reveals thus:

But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him: for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that diligently SEEK Him. (Hebrews 11:6).

Where your length of FAST fails you, your unrelenting FAITH in God will not fail you. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For by it (FAITH) the elders obtained a GOOD REPORTS. (Hebrews 11:2)

Increase your FAITH in God based on His Word, not your FAST based on your worries.

FAST is designed to open you up for God's miraculous in your life and through your life by drawing you closer to God, but your FAITH will draw God to you. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

DRAW near to GOD, and He will DRAW near to YOU. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and MOURN (fast), and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. (James 4:8-10).

FAST is a means to an end.

FAITH is an end of a means.

The Bible reveals thus:

Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1).

Do you get it?

Most often, we read in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John on JESUS CHRIST saying, "your faith " or "oh you of little faith".

If you FAST to God in worry without FAITH, you are on a hunger strike. But if you have FAITH in God in line with His Word without your FAST in worry, you are on a humble track to your breakthrough to what you desire from God.

FAST is good, but FAITH is better and best. True!

Today, we have so much of God's people exercising, increasing and releasing their persisting FASTINGS and PRAYERS to God than those exercising, increasing and releasing their persisting FAITH and TRUST on God. True!

The Bible reveals about the Heroes and Heroines of FAITH thus:

By FAITH Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
By FAITH Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By FAITH he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Through FAITH also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
By FAITH Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
By FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
By FAITH Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
By FAITH Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
By FAITH he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Through FAITH he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. (Hebrews 11:7-11, 17,20-24, 27,28).

Furthermore,

By FAITH they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
By FAITH the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
By FAITH the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace. And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Who through FAITH subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: (Hebrews 11:29-35).

Do you see the place of FAITH in one's walk and work with God in Christ in this World?

Increase your FAITH in God based on His Word, not your FAST based on your worries.

Jesus Christ counselled us thus:

Jesus said unto him, If you can BELIEVE, all things are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVES. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; HELP you mine UNBELIEF. (Mark 9:23,24; James 1:2-8).

It is better to pray with tears saying, oh Lord HELP my UNBELIEF, than to be praying and fasting in doubt endlessly. True!

This is a true saying, welcome to a week of exercising, increasing and releasing your FAITH to GOD to increasing and releasing your FRUITFULNESS in Christ in this World.

God bless you.

THE SPIRITUAL GATHERING CALLED CHURCH TURNED SOCIAL GATHERING CALLED SHOCK

THE SPIRITUAL GATHERING CALLED CHURCH TURNED SOCIAL GATHERING CALLED SHOCK!

The mind of God is to create a SPIRITUAL HEAD in Heaven called JESUS CHRIST and a SPIRITUAL BODY on Earth called the BODY of CHRIST also known as the CHURCH of CHRIST on Earth. However, while JESUS CHRIST as the Spiritual Head remains spiritual intact and functional, His Spiritual Body, the Church, is currently out of order and dysfunctional. So sad and shocking!

This is not the CHURCH, the Disciples of Jesus Christ left for us. Lets take note, turn new leaf now before is too late for us!

6. The CHURCH of Christ today has turned from being a spiritual gathering of CARING brethren to become a social gathering of SELFISH brethren. So sad and shocking! (Acts 2:40-47; Acts 4:31-37).

This is not the CHURCH, the Disciples of Jesus Christ left for us. Lets take note, turn new leaf now before is too late for us!

7. The CHURCH of Christ today has turned from being a spiritual gathering of UNITED household of God to become a social gathering of DISUNITED household of God. So sad and shocking! (James 4:1-12).

8. The CHURCH of Christ today has turned from being a spiritual gathering of MOUNTAIN MOVERS to become a social gathering of MERCHANDISE DEALERS. So sad and shocking! (Matthew 21:12,13).

9.The CHURCH of Christ today has turned from being a spiritual gathering of flavoured SALTS and shining LIGHTS of the World to become a social gathering of unflavoured SALTS and non shining LIGHTS of the World. So sad and shocking! (Matthew 5:13-16).

Jesus Christ said these SIGNS shall follow His BODY on Earth thus:

Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen Him after He was risen. And He said unto them, GO you into ALL the world, and PREACH the gospel to every creature. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believes not shall be damned. And these SIGNS shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they CAST out devils; they shall SPEAK with new tongues; They shall TAKE up serpents; and if they DRINK any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall LAY hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with SIGNS following. Amen. (Mark 16:14-20).

Why are we not seeing our signs, wonders and miracles like the days of Jesus Christ and His Apostles?

It is because we as His BODY (the Church) on Earth are not abiding in our HEAD (Jesus Christ) in UNITY of the SPIRIT in agreement with His WORD as we should.

We are to walk and work in the UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of the WORD of GOD to once again see our SIGNS as the Body of Christ on Earth.

Too many divisions by DOCTRINE in the BODY of Christ. Too many, oh Lord help us!

Jesus Christ said thus:

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. ABIDE in ME and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in Him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you ABIDE in ME, and MY WORDS abide in you, yoh shall ASK what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love. If you KEEP my commandments, you shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That you LOVE one another, as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. These things I command you, that you love one another. (John 5:1-17).

Why are we not seeing our signs, wonders and miracles like the days of Jesus Christ and His Apostles?

It is because we as His BODY (the Church) on Earth are not abiding in our HEAD (Jesus Christ) in UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of PEACE as we should.

We are to walk and work in the UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of PEACE if we once again want to see SIGNS as the Body of Christ on Earth. True!

Too many divisions by DENOMINATION in the BODY of Christ. Too many, oh Lord help us!

Apostle Paul in reminding us, the BODY of CHRIST,  of our sacred responsibility of keeping the UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of PEACE counselled thus:

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to KEEP the UNITY of the SPIRIT in the bond of PEACE. There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as you are 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 unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. (Ephesians 4:1-7).

The Bible reveals thus:

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in UNITY! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. (Psalm 133)

The CHURCH of CHRIST today is not seeing her SIGNS no longer, because she has cut herself from her HEAD, Jesus Christ, the WORD of God. True!

It is time for you and I as individual body of Christ to make urgent amends and return back to our Head (Jesus Christ) as requested by Him.

Likewise, It is time for you and I as collective body of Christ to make urgent amends and return back to our Head (Jesus Christ) as requested by Him.

Our UNITY by DOCTRINE is nonnegotiable, if we are to see our SIGNS in Christ once again on Earth. True!

Apostle Paul warned thus:

I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ANY other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED. 10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:6-12).

Our UNITY by DENOMINATION is nonnegotiable, if we are to see our SIGNS in Christ once again on Earth. True!

Apostle Paul counselled thus:

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; ALL are YOURS; And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:21-23).

Let us work together as one people and nation that has one Father, one Saviour, one Spirit, one Goal and one Hope to attain. (Ephesians 4:1-7).

Apostle Paul counselled thus:

For you are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and DIVISIONS, are you not CANAL, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? Therefore let no man glory in men. For ALL things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; ALL are yours; And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:3-5, 21-23).

Lets walk and work together in oneness of the Spirit and in the whole truth of the Bible as people who serving one Father, having one Lord and Saviour and being given one same Spirit of life and light. (1 Peter 2:9,10).

We do not have time on Earth to waste time on Earth, oh Church of Christ! Take note, take heed!

2017... Our NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS.

Are you ready?

God bless you.
