(A must read special edition to CHRISTIANS all over the World).
Today's Focus: As a genuine CHRISTIAN you must know that you are one of the SOLUTIONS to the World's PROBLEMS!
I am sent this today to remind genuine CHRISTIANS all over the World to know and note that they are expected by God's design and designation in Christ to be divine SOLUTIONS (like Jesus Christ was physically) to the World, especially where they individually and collectively find themselves par time in the World. True! (Matthew 5:13-16; John 9:4,5; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 Peter 2:9,10). 1 John 4:17.
Genuine CHRISTIANS are designed and expected by God in Christ:
1. Not to seek spiritual SOLUTIONS from UNBELIEVERS to solve any form of Problem in the World. This is because they are the spiritual solutions (vis-à-vis physical solutions) themselves by the Holy Spirit of Christ that within them to all human problems in the World. True!
2. Not to seek spiritual SOLUTION from SINNERS to solve any form of Problem in the World. This is because they are the spiritual solutions (vis-à-vis physical solutions) themselves by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them to all human problems in the World. True!
In fact, the Bible counsels thus:
Blessed is the man that walks NOT in the counsel of the ungodly, NOR stands in the way of sinners, NOR sits 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. (Psalms 1:1-3).
And furthermore, it is demanded from us 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, says 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, saus the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
It is a shame to see today that genuine CHRISTIANS, not only vote for known unbelievers and sinners to positions of authority to proffer SOLUTIONS to marital, family, organisational, local, national and international PROBLEMS, but also demands for solutions, through several conventional agitations means. What a shame and waste of the GRACE of Christ in and upon us. So sad!
Did Jesus Christ not say we are the SALTS of the Earth and LIGHTS of the World? (Matthew 5:13-16).
Did the Bible not reveal that we are the PRIESTS and KINGS of our God in Christ to reign on Earth? (Revelation 5:9,10).
Now,
1. Is it not written clearly in the Bible that RIGHTEOUSNESS exalts a nation: but SIN is a reproach to any people? (Proverbs 14:34).
2. Is it not clearly written in the Bible that when the RIGHTEOUS are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the WICKED bears rule, the people mourn? (Proverbs 29:2).
3. Is it not clearly written in the Bible that when the WICKED rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the RIGHTEOUS increase? (Proverbs 28:28).
It is so unfortunate to observe that majority of genuine CHRISTIANS all over nations are not living with the consciousness and conviction that it is only RIGHTEOUSNESS that truly exalts and only them as genuine Children of God in Christ are righteous in this World, in the sight and side of the God, the Designer and Creator of the Heaven and Earth. So sad! (Psalm 24:1,2).
Therefore,
1. Many do not on a daily basis SEE themselves as the divine SALTS of the Earth, who are to proffer divine SOLUTIONS to the numerous unsolved World's PROBLEMS to the amazement of men and to the glory of the Father on Earth as Jesus Christ requested. So sad! (Matthew 5:13).
2. Many do not on a daily basis SEE themselves as the divine LIGHTS of the Earth, who are to proffer divine SOLUTIONS to the numerous unsolved World's PROBLEMS to the amazement of men and to the glory of the Father on Earth as Jesus Christ requested. So sad! (Matthew 5:14-16).
3. Many do not on a daily basis SEE themselves as the divine GODS of the Earth, who are to proffer divine SOLUTIONS to the numerous unsolved World's PROBLEMS to the amazement of men and to the glory of the Father on Earth as Jesus Christ requested. So sad! (Psalms 82:5-7; John 10:34,35).
4. Many do not on a daily basis SEE themselves as the divine PRIESTS of the Earth, who are to proffer divine SOLUTIONS to the numerous unsolved World's PROBLEMS to the amazement of men and to the glory of the Father on Earth as Jesus Christ requested. So sad! (Revelation 5:9,10).
5. Many do not on a daily basis SEE themselves as the divine KINGS of the Earth, who are to proffer divine SOLUTIONS to the numerous unsolved World's PROBLEMS to the amazement of men and to the glory of the Father on Earth as Jesus Christ requested. So sad! (Revelation 5:9,10).
Apostle Paul counselled us 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).
So sad that many Christians today do NOT do ALL things in the NAME of JESUS as counselled by the above scriptural reference. Many are publicly ashamed of the NAME of JESUS. So sad!
Jesus Christ said if we DENY Him before men, He will DENY us before His Father in Heaven. This is one of the reason many of our prayers are not answered. True! (Matthew 10:32,33).
Like Apostle Paul, we must boldy say, I AM NOT ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ, is the POWER of God unto SALVATION. Halleluyah! (Romans 1:16-18).
Now, it is time for us to take note and take heed to Apostle Paul timely warning thus:
Beware lest any man SPOIL you through philosophy and vain deceit, AFTER the tradition of men, AFTER the rudiments of the world, and NOT after Christ. For in Him dwells ALL the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And yoh are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of ALL principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10).
Again, so sad, many Christians do still run and spoil their lives, marriages, homes, businesses and general affairs by running them:
1. Through the PHILOSOPHY of men. So sad!
2. Through the VAIN DECEIT of men. So sad!
That is:
1. After the TRADITION of men. So sad!
2. After the RUDIMENTS (principles) of the World. So sad!
Are you one of them?
If yes, the timely counsel for you today is thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you 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).
Think about it and do something urgently about it now, for the time is short and His reward is soon and nearer than before, to give to every man according to his or her works on Earth. Take note, take heed! (Ephesians 5:15-18; Revelation 22:12,13; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).
It is time for us to ARISE all over the World and settle not for less on what the World is offering us against what we are equipped and empowered in Christ to GIVE to the World. (Isaiah 60; Isaiah 58; Psalm 82).
Arise! Arise!! Arise!!!
Today's Focus from Scripture:
But you are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that you should SHOW FORTH the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9,10).
Take note, take heed!
Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.
God bless you.
