TRUTH TO BE TOLD: AS A GENUINE CHRISTIANS YOU ARE EXPECTED TO BE A SOLUTION TO THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

(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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: TGE KIND OF CHRISTIANITY AND CHRISTIAN GOD WANTS TO SEE IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The kind of CHRISTIANITY and CHRISTIAN God wants to see in Christ in this World.

Christianity practice (a lifestyle of Christ on Earth) is not a human idea, but divine idea. Therefore, God's idea of establishing the practice on Earth is not to see humans fulfilling their own will, but fulfilling His own good, acceptable and perfect WILL in Christ for them on Earth. True!

JESUS CHRIST, our ultimate Role Model for living principle-driven, peaceful, powerful, purposeful and progressive life to PLEASE God on Earth said thus:

In the mean while His disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat. But He said unto them, I have meat to eat that you know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, had any man brought Him ought to eat? Jesus said unto them, My MEAT is to DO the WILL of Him (God, the Father) that sent Me, and to FINISH His WORK. (John 4:31-34).

While you must understand as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World that you are CALLED, SAVED, GIFTED and ANOINTED by God in Christ to know and do His WILL in Christ for you (Ephesians 2:5-10; Romans 11:29; 1 John 2:27), you must however know and note that:

1. God's WILL has both its STRIVING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its THRIVING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Romans 7:14-25).

2. God's WILL has both its STRUGGLING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its FREEDOM TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (2 Corinthians 4:8-18).

3. God's WILL has both its SCARCITY TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its ABUNDANCE TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Philippians 4:10-19).

4. God's WILL has both its SUFFERING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its GLORYING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Romans 8:15-19).

5. God's WILL has both its SORROWING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its REJOICING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Psalm 30:5).

6. God's WILL has both its SCARING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its SATISFYING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Matthew 26:36-50).

7. God's WILL has both its SOWING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its REAPING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Psalm 126:5,6; Galatians 6:7-10).

8. God's WILL has both its SACRIFICING (self-denial) TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its SUCCESS TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Romans 12:1,2; Joshua 1:8).

9. God's WILL has both its SEPARATING TIME (vis-à-vis night season) and its SATISFYING TIME (vis-à-vis day season). (Psalm 90:9-17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Psalm 91:14-16).

And so on.

Therefore, God is looking for CHRISTIANS (Christ's followers) who not only know, but also understands that they will go through two critical categories of seasons (night and day) in their lives in Christ on Earth as listed above amongst others. True!

Jesus Christ understood that no matter what happened to Him, He must allow His Father's WILL to prevail in His life against His own Will par time par His Challenge in this World. Therefore, He said during His SORROW TIME thus:

And He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless NOT as I WILL, but as you WILL. (Matthew 26:39).

Likewise, you and I must develop understanding and spiritual capability (putting on the whole armour of God) to WITHSTAND our ordained and permitted TEST and TRIAL and to STAND strong thereafter, seeing us accepting and fulfilling God's good, acceptable and perfect WILL in Christ for our lives against our own will and against all odds par time par our individual challenge. True! (Romans 12:1,2; Ephesians 6:10-18).

That is the kind of mature Christianity practice and Christians, God desire to see us become and practice in this World. True! (Hebrews 5:12-14).

Don't be deceived, you will be proven by TESTS and TRIALS par time on your journey in Christ from Earth to Heaven. Therefore, you and I cannot escape from not going through divers divinely ordained and permitted TESTS and TRIALS in Christ for us in this World, which will not be comfortable and convenient for us who are living in a World that is driven by pleasurable LUST and PRIDE. That is, TESTS and TRIALS that are designed and designated for our spiritual maturity and purposeful manifestation like Christ on Earth. True! (1 John 2:15-17; 1 John 4:17).

That is why Apostle Paul encouraged Timothy as I am sent to do to you today thus:

But WATCH you in ALL things, ENDURE afflictions, DO the work of an evangelist, MAKE full proof of your ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have FOUGHT a good FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT the faith: Henceforth there is LAID UP for me a CROWN of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day: and NOT to me only, but unto ALL them also that LOVE His appearing. (2 Timothy 4:5-8; 1 Timothy 6:6-12; Ephesians 5:15-18).

The truth to be told, you and I cannot live in Christ to please God in this World without TEST and TRIALS. Therefore, learning how to withstand self-driven LUST and PRIDE and Satanic PRESSURES to stand for God's WILL in Christ for us against our (or Satan's) own will for us in this World is the SECRET of practicing the kind of Christianity that is based on the WORD of God and empowerment of the SPIRIT of God that God, the Father desires see us practice in Christ in this World. True!  (1 John 2:15-17; 1 John 5:14-21; 1 Peter 5:7-10; Hebrews 5:12-14).

Have you developed such spiritual understanding, maturity and capacity?

Think about it and do something about it now, because God is today demanding such from you as His Child and ambassador in Christ on Earth and it will be well with you in Jesus name.

Today's Focus from Scripture:

In the DAY of PROSPERITY be joyful, but in the DAY of ADVERSITY consider: GOD also has set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after Him.  (Ecclesiastes 7:14; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; Ecclesiastes 12:13,14).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THE MYSTERY AND BENEFITS OF SUFFERING WITH OR IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The MYSTERY and BENEFITS of SUFFERING with or in Christ in this World!

Many genuine Christians do not understand the MYSTERY and BENEFITS of SUFFERING with Christ in this World. Therefore, they do not want to encounter and experience SUFFERING of any form in Christ in this World. Unfortunately, that is not possible because according to God's design:

1. No one can GLORY (resurrect) with Christ before Him (God) without first encountering and experiencing his or her unique SUFFERING (dying) with or in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we SUFFER with Him, that we may be also GLORIFIED together. For I reckon that the SUFFERING of this present time are NOT worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:15-19; Philippians 3:10,11; Colossians 1:27).

2. No one can learn OBEDIENCE to God like Christ without first encountering and experiencing his or her unique SUFFERING with or in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

So also Christ glorified not Himself to be made an high priest; but He that said unto Him, you art my Son, today have I begotten you. Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that He feared; Though He were a Son, yet learned he OBEDIENCE by the things which He SUFFERED; And being made perfect, He became the Author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. (Hebrews 5:5-9; Hebrews 12:1-12).

3. No one can understand the sufficiency of the GRACE of God in Christ and the perfection of the STRENGTH of God in Christ in WEAKNESS or the resting of the POWER of CHRIST upon him or her without first encountering and experiencing his or her unique SUFFERING with or in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he sees me to be, or that he hears of me. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My GRACE is SUFFICIENT for you: for My STRENGTH is made perfect in WEAKNESS. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the POWER of CHRIST may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. (2 Corinthians 12:5-10; Hebrews 4:14-16).

4. No one can be PATIENT like Christ before God without first encountering and experiencing his or her unique SUFFERING with or in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the TRYING of your faith works PATIENCE. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. (James 1:2-4).

5. No one can produce the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS like Christ before God as His sons or daughters without first encountering and experiencing his or her unique SUFFERING in Christ with or in Christ in  this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

For whom the Lord LOVES He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives. If you ENDURE chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is He whom the father chastens not? But if you be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but He for our profit, that we might be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yields the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS  unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. Follow PEACE with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: (Hebrews 12:6-14).

And so on.

Remember, the Bible reveals that as He is, so are we in this World. (1 John 4:17).

Therefore, based on the above valid points and more, God purposefully designed SUFFERING with or in Christ for believers in this World as a FELLOWSHIP with Christ and not something to be dreaded or avoided by a genuine Child of His (God) in Christ in this World, but look at according to His will. True!

That is why Apostle Paul prayed thus:

That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the FELLOWSHIP of His SUFFERING, being made CONFORMABLE unto His death; If by any means I might ATTAIN unto the resurrection of the dead. (Philippians 3:10,11).

With the above understanding also Brother James counseled us thus:

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations. (James 1:2).

Are you a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World, watch out for divinely designed SUFFERING for you par time. Rejoice about it, endure it and enjoy it because it is for your good and greatness manifestation in Christ in this World. Because after all is said and done with your SUFFERING experience, which He (God) has intended to perfect, establish and strengthen you in Christ in this World, He will also faithfully SETTLE you in Christ in this World and in Heaven some day. True! Halleluyah! (1 Peter 5:7-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Don't be deceived!

For each of us will at one point or the other encounter (take up our cross) and experience one, two or more of any of these dimensions of SUFFERING: 1. Infirmity 2. Reproach 3. Necessity (lack) 4. Persecution 5. Distress amongst others for Christ 's sake: for when we are WEAK, then we are STRONG. True! (2 Corinthians 12:8-10; Matthew 10:16-42; Matthew 16:24-27).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we SUFFER with Him, that we may be also GLORIFIED together. For I reckon that the SUFFERING of this present time are NOT worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:17,18; 28-39; 1 Peter 5:7).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: JESUS CHRIST CAME TO GIVE YOU MORE THAN WHAT MONEY CAN BUY!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!
                   (A must read special edition)

Today's Focus: JESUS CHRIST came to give you more than what MONEY can buy or do for you!

Jesus Christ said thus:

NO man can serve two masters: for either he will HATE the one, and LOVE the other; or else he will HOLD to the one, and DESPISE the other. You CANNOT serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).

The above scriptural verse has NOT yet sink down
 in the hearts of many Christians, as many still do knowingly and unknowingly, serve MAMMON (the money god), thinking they are still serving GOD. So sad!

Many genuine Christians have NOT yet realised that what God, the Father, sent JESUS CHRIST to give to humanity (That is, to make us receive the HOLY SPIRIT by faith within us) is not what MONEY can buy, but what MONEY cannot and will never be able to buy. True! (Galatians 3:13,14).

Prophet Isaiah prophesying about it said thus:

Ho, every one that thirsts, COME you to the waters, and he that has NO MONEY; come you, buy, and eat; yes, COME, buy wine and milk without MONEY and without PRICE. Wherefore do you spend MONEY for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which satisfies not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and COME unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Behold, I have given Him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. SEEK you the LORD while He may be found, CALL you upon Him while He is near. (Isaiah 55:1-4; Matthew 11:28-30; John 3:15-21).

The World's systems, especially our conventional educational system trains and programs our mindset to seek MONEY first as a reward for our labour, for our survival and for our success indicator on Earth, but  the Bible counsels you and I to SEEK first the KINGDOM of GOD (the Holy Spirit, who is the carrier of God's presence, principles, power and provisions on Earth) and His righteousness and  all these things will be added unto us. True! (Matthew 6:33; Philippians 1:19; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

We who are the chosen or Children of God in Christ in this World must always keep in mind the scriptural truth above and live WISE and SMART at all time. If not, we will be fooled, as many already are today, with the wrong drive for MONEY by the people of the World and perishing wealth of the World, while leaving what really matters in life that Jesus Christ brought. That is, CHRIST (the Holy Spirit) in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27).

 The Bible reveals 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; Deuteronomy 8:3).

Therefore, Jesus Christ counselled thus:

NO man can serve two masters: for either he will HATE the one, and LOVE the other; or else he will HOLD to the one, and DESPISE the other. You CANNOT serve God and mammon. THEREFORE I say unto you, take NO thought for your life, what you shall EAT, or what you shall DRINK; nor yet for your body, what you shall PUT ON. Is not the LIFE more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they SOW not, neither do they REAP, nor gather into barns; YET your heavenly Father feeds them. Are YOU not much BETTER than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take you thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O you of LITTLE faith? Therefore take NO thought, saying, What shall we EAT? Or, What shall we DRINK? Or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. 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 6:25-34; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).

JESUS CHRIST, our ultimate Role Model for living victoriously and successfully on Earth in the above scriptural passage said that thinking, working and living for MONEY and MATERIAL things alone makes us less important than birds, who do not sow or labour to meet their needs, but God, the Father, provides for them:

1. That thinking, working and living for money and material things are the characteristics of sinners and unbelievers, who do not depend on God, the Father for their daily provisions.

2. That life is more than thinking, working and living for MONEY and MATERIAL things.

3. That it is our little or lack of FAITH in God that makes us go after Money and material things each day like the unbelievers do, forgetting that 1 John 2:15-17 reveals to us that all MONEY aand MATERIAL things will one day already appointed by God, pass away. True!

Lest I forget, many Christians will argue that the same Bible says that MONEY answers ALL things and MONEY is a defend. But, they have forgetten that we as Children of the Living God, who owns the Heaven and the Earth, we are not supposed to LABOUR to be RICH like the people of the World. We are to cease from our own WISDOM and connect to God's WISDOM daily to meets our daily needs and that of others as well. (Proverbs 23:1-7; 1 Corinthians 3:18-20).

We who genuinely LOVE God are designed and created in Christ to be LED by the Holy Spirit each day to know the truth and what has being prepared and freely given to us by God in Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:26-39; Ephesians 1:3-7).

But many of us, have not learn HOW to live on Earth by the HELP of the Holy Spirit that is within us:

1. Contentedly as adviced by Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 6:6-12.

2. Moderately as counselled by Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:5-9.

Therefore, we think, speak and live like the people of World to seek and tirelessly work for MONEY and MATERIAL things each day as if we have a heavenly FATHER that do not care. So sad!

I am a prove that God, the Father, truly care for those, who are in Christ, who can have unrelenting HOPE and FAITH on Him for their daily needs. I am a Proof! I am a Proof!! I am a Proof!!!

We are to live by FAITH, so that it can be divine GRACE for us each. That is, by divine FAVOUR for us, not by our own LABOUR. True! (Romans 4; Philippians 4:13,19; Philippians 1:19).

Now, while I totally agrees with those in Christ who argued that the Bible equally says that MONEY answers ALL things. They must know that money can BUY or Do only those things it can on Earth. They must also know and note more importantly that:

1. The PRESENCE of God in them by the Holy Spirit, which MONEY cannot BUY, is far able to answer ALL things for them and be an undefeatable defence for them in this World than money, especially in their time of need and life threatening challenges. True! (Romans 8:9-19; 1 John 2:17).

2. The POWER of God in them by the Holy Spirit, which MONEY cannot BUY, is far able to answer ALL things for them and be an undefeatable defence for them in this World than money, especially in their time of need and life threatening challenges. True! (John 1:12; Ephesians 3:20; Revelation 5:8,9;12).

3. The RICHES of God in them by the Holy Spirit, which MONEY cannot BUY, is far able to answer ALL things for them and be an undefeatable defence for them in this World than money, especially in their time of need and life threatening challenges. True! (2 Corinthians 8:9; Revelation 5:8,9;12).

4.

The HONOUR of God in Christ in them by the Holy Spirit, which MONEY cannot BUY, is far able to answer ALL things for them and be an undefeatable defence for them in this World than money, especially in their time of need and life threatening challenges. True! (John 5:41-44; Revelation 5:8,9;12).

The GLORY of God in Christ in them by the Holy Spirit, which MONEY cannot BUY, is far able to answer ALL things for them and be an undefeatable defence for them in this World than money, especially in their time of need and life threatening challenges.

True! Colossians 1:27).

12. And so on. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Apostle Peter understanding this truth said to the physically challenged man thus:

Then Peter said, Silver and gold (MONEY) have I none; but SUCH as I have GIVE I you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (Acts 3:6,7).

We must know and note that:

1. As the CHOSEN generation of God, ROYAL priesthood of God, HOLY nation of God and PECULIAR people of God in Christ in is World to show forth His praise or glory on Earth, we are designed and gifted to GIVE to the people of the World, what MONEY cannot BUY, so that they will glorify our Father in Heaven. (1 Peter 2:9,10).

2. As divine SALTS  of the Earth and LIGHTS in Christ of the World, we are designed and gifted to GIVE to the people of the World, what MONEY cannot BUY, so that they will glorify our Father in Heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16; John 9:4,5).

3. As divine PRIESTS and KINGS of God in Christ, who are designed to reign on the Earth, we are designed and gifted to GIVE to the people of the World, what MONEY cannot BUY, so that they will glorify our Father in Heaven. (Revelation 5:8,9).

Are you seeking more than what MONEY can BUY or DO as a Child or representive of God on the Earth? (Colossians 3:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Are you giving more than MONEY can BUY or DO as a Child or representive of God on the Earth? (Acts 3:6,7).

Are you manifesting powerfully and positively in line of your life purpose or reason for existence, for which God has created and empowered you in Christ and had ordained you to walk in it in this World? (Ephesians 2:5-7).

Yes as answers to the above questions are God's expectations from your life in Christ and living on the Earth. It is called GOOD WORKS in the side and sight of God in Heaven because they are products of the Holy Spirit work in you and through you on Earth. True! (Ephesians 2:5-10; Matthew 5:13-16).

Think about it and do something about it now, if it is not yet so for you.

Today's Focus from Scripture:

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can carry NOTHING out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things; and FOLLOW after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. FIGHT the good fight of faith, LAY hold on eternal life, whereunto you art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:6-12; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; John 3:15-21).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: A WORLD OF MYSTERY, MAGIC AND MIRACLE!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: A World of MYSTERY, MAGIC and MIRACLE!

We live in:

1. A World of MYSTERY unknown to many.

That is, a World of so much hidden (and unhidden) truths and lies unfolding each day. (1 John 4:1-4).

2. A World of MAGIC unknown to many.

That is, a World of so much hidden (and unhidden) satanic wickedness manifesting each day. (1 John 5:16-21).

3. A World of MIRACLE unknown to many.

That is, a World of so much hidden (and unhidden) divine goodness happening each day. (Psalm 23; Lamentation 3:22-26).

When King David discovered some of these hidden (and unhidden) mysteries, magics and miracles, He said thus:

O how LOVE I your law! it is my meditation ALL the day. You THROUGH your commandments has made me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have MORE understanding than ALL my teachers: for your testimonies are my meditation. I understand MORE than the ancients, because I keep your precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep your Word. I have NOT departed from your judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are your Words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding: therefore I HATE every false way. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:97-105; Psalm 19:7-14; Psalm 1:1-3; Philippians 4:8,9).

Many Christians have NOT come to this understanding and realization of King David, thus they are still deliberately living in sin and DOUBT of God's greatness and goodness to them in terms of preserving, protecting and providing for them daily in this World. Therefore, they are still taking the things of God for granted and ignorantly venturing into and enjoying the lustful and prideful things of the World against that of God's vis-à-vis the things of Satan in this World. So sad! (1 John 2:15-17; Hosea 4:6; Colossians 3:1-4).

Now, let it be known to you that without the daily MIRACLE (goodness) of God, we ALL would have being devoured and consumed by the daily MAGIC (wickedness) of Satan, his demons and demon-driven human agents, who are all around us as family members, friends, neighbours, colleagues, associates, etc, to STEAL, KILL and DESTROY that which is good and godly in us and for us. Glory be to God in the highest for His love, mercy, protection and preservation. (Lamentation 3:22-26; 1 Peter 5:7-10; John 10:1-10).

But, to stay SAFE, SOUND and SUCCESSFUL God - wise in this World, remember that to FEAR God and KEEP His commandments daily is the whole DUTY of man (you and I in this World), according to the wisest man who lived on Earth before Jesus Christ, King Solomon. True! (Ecclesiastes 12: 13,14; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 19:7-14; 1 John 5:18-21; 2 Timothy 1:7).

This is because he (King Solomon) observed thus:

I returned, and saw under the sun, that the RACE is not to the SWIFT, nor the BATTLE to the STRONG, neither yet BREAD to the WISE, nor yet RICHES to men of UNDERSTANDING, nor yet FAVOUR to men of SKILL; but time and chance happens to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

Therefore, LEARN to live carefully, soundly and safely in this World through JESUS CHRIST by sincerely giving your life to Christ, living out the  Bible dutifully and sacrificially each day by the leading and help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you. Very important to note! (Ephesians 5:15-18; Romans 12:1,2).

Note that by our human wisdom and strength, you and I cannot prevail and make it on our own in this World against the Devil, his demons and denon-driven human agents. You and I need the daily HELP or MIRACLE of God in Christ. True! (1 Samuel 2:9,10).

Therefore, say with me, oh Lord, we need you more and more each day. Come upon us Lord, more and more each day we pray in Jesus name. AMEN!

Now know and note that the World has become a place of MISERY encounter and experience of struggle, strive, sufferings, sorrow for many today because of so much satanic activities against people and also because of their personal ignorance on how to OVERCOME them through CHRIST. This should not be so for you and I in Christ in this World. True! (Hosea 4:6).

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary, because never in this World should a genuine CHRISTIAN be overcome by the powers, pleasures and persons of Darkness in this World. If they do for any reason, please, let it never be YOU in Christ, because it will bring struggles, strives, sufferings and sorrows to your life and finally, shame to the Lord, who have already handed you the overcomer's provisions, which are His Word, Blood, Name, Spirit, etc in this World. (1 John 5:4,5; 1 John 4:4; Colossians 2:8-10,14,15; Revelation 12:11; Philippians 2:9-11).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

They KNOW not, neither will they UNDERSTAND; they walk on in darkness: ALL the foundations of the earth are OUT of course. I have said, YOU are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But you shall DIE like men, and FALL like one of the princes. (Psalm 82:5-7).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: COOPERATING WITH YOUR ONE AND ONLY COMFORTER ON EARTH!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: COOPERATING with your one and only true COMFORTER on Earth.

Unfortunately, any human being without the HOLY SPIRIT (Comforter) will be comfortless in this World by the evil and wicked activities of the Devil, his demons and demon-driven human agents. True!

Even more unfortunate, is a genuine Child of God in Christ, who have the HOLY SPIRIT (Comforter) within him or her, but has not learnt how to COOPERATE with Him to enjoy the COMFORT that He brings living within them in this World. So sad!

Before JESUS CHRIST physically left this World, He assured His disciples then and us today thus:

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I GO away: for if I go not away, the COMFORTER will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will SEND Him unto you. And when He is COMES, He will REPROVE the World of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of SIN, because they believe not on me; of RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to my Father, and you see me no more; of JUDGMENT, because the prince of this World is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you CANNOT bear them now. 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 ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:7-16).

The HOLY SPIRIT'S comforts comes in various dimensions ranging from giving us peace during our stormy seasons to providing us with:

1. Tutorship. (1 John 2:27).

2. Leadership, direction and guidance. (Romans 8:14).

3. Inspiration. (Job 32:8).

4. Revelation and ideas . (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

5. Enlightenment and vision. (Ephesians 1:15-23).

6. Empowerment. (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-4; Romans 8:9-13).

7. And so on during your challenging times. (Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13).

Are you enjoying the COMFORTS the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you brings to you in this World?

If NO, then you need to look at your COOPERATION level with Him in your day to day affairs in this World. In other words, you need to look again, if you are truly a LIVING SACRIFICE in Christ in this World that is not CONFORMING to the ways and manners of this World to run your affairs in this World. (Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10).

No doubt, JESUS CHRIST is so caring that He said He will not leave you and I COMFORTLESS in this World without a COMFORTER. Therefore, know and note that as you journey from Earth to Heaven, the HOLY SPIRIT is sent to teach you, lead you, help you, discipline you and strengthen you as ways of COMFORTING you in this wicked World that is driven by the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life orchestrated by the Devil, his demons and demon-driven human agents. True! (John 14:18; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:16-21; 1 John 2:15-17).

Think about it and do something about it, if you are not yet cooperating with the Holy Spirit as expected from you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World and not enjoying the COMFORTS that He brings to you to make life on Earth meaningful and easy for you.

Today's Focus from Scripture:

And I will pray the Father, and He shall GIVE you another COMFORTER, that He may abide with you for ever; Even the SPIRIT of TRUTH; whom the World CANNOT receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but you know Him; for He DWELLS with you, and shall BE in you. I will NOT leave you COMFORTLESS: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the World sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. But the COMFORTER, which is the HOLY GHOST, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you ALL things, and bring ALL things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14:16-26).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: TAKE IT TO THE THRONE OF GRACE FIRST!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Take it to the THRONE of GRACE and SETTLE it there first!

The CROSS of Christ leads to the THRONE of God. Therefore, we who are genuine Children of God in Christ in this World are counselled that whenever, we are at a CROSSROAD in life (in Christ), we should come boldly to the Throne of GRACE first to obtain MERCY and find HELP to meet our needs (vis-à-vis help others in their times of need) or to overcome our challenges.

The Bible counsels 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).

Therefore, never should you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World at your CROSSROAD in life (in Christ) in this World:

1. Go to the throne of SELF for help and not the THRONE of GRACE.

Never for any reason or season of your life in Christ in this World. Never!

The Bible reveals thus:

WOE (curse) unto them that are WISE in their OWN eyes, and prudent in their OWN sight! (Isaiah 5:21; 1 Samuel 2:9).

2. Go to the throne of Satan for help and not the THRONE of GRACE.

Never for any reason or season of your life in Christ in this World. Never!

The Bible reveals 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, establish, strengthen, settle you. (1 Peter 5:8-10).

3. Go to the throne of Sinners for help and not the THRONE of GRACE.

Never for any reason or season of your life in Christ in this World. Never!

The Bible reveals thus:

WOE (curse) to the rebellious children, said the LORD, that TAKE counsel, but NOT of me; and that cover with a covering, but NOT of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to GO down into Egypt, and have NOT asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your SHAME, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your CONFUSION. (Isaiah 31:1-3; Psalm 1:1-3)

4. Go to the throne of Saints for help and not the THRONE of GRACE.

Never for any reason or season of your life in Christ in this World. Never!

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 TEACHES you of ALL things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, yyou shall ABIDE in Him. (1 John 2:27; John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 Corinthians 3:18-23).

But rather HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty Hand of God, that He may EXALT you in due time: CASTING all your CARE (worries, fears, doubts, disappointmenrs, failures, etc) UPON Him; for He CARES for you.  (1 Peter 5:6,7).

It is spiritually wise and smart to always seek FIRST the KINGDOM of God and His Righteousness. That is, the Holy Spirit counsel to know the Will of God, the Father, on every of your CROSSROAD, to know what to think, say and do par time par your situation, to progress and prosper, God's way. True! (Matthew 6:33; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:14; Romans 12:1,2).

Yes, take it to the THRONE of GRACE first. Settle it there first! Yes!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest, that is passed into the heavens, JESUS the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have NOT an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 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 4:14-16; Hebrews 12:1-4).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: REASONS YOU HAVE TO TAKE UP THE POSITION OF JESUS BEFORE GOD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Reasons WHY you MUST always take up the POSITION of JESUS before God!

Many genuine Christians do not know God runs a spiritual JUDICIAL SYSTEM in dealing with us and our arch enemy, the Devil and all his demons and demon-driven human agents that come against us par time in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals thus:

What shall we then say to these things? If God BE for us, WHO can be against us? He that spared NOT His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, HOW shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God's elect? It is God that JUSTIFIES. Who is He that is condemned? It is CHRIST that died, yes rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also MAKES intercession for us. (Romans 8:31-34).

This mean that for you and I to win the BATTLE of LIFE or to overcome the enemy of our soul and success in Christ in this World which is Satan and all his demons and demon-driven human agents, we must take the POSITION of JESUS by FAITH before God always. True!

The Bible reveals that the POSITION of JESUS is:

1. A position of RIGHTEOUSNESS before God. This is  because He was a sinner before the court of God on our behalf, has fully paid the price for our sin and God has declared Him RIGHTEOUS on our behalf in His final verdict. True!

2. A position of JUSTIFICATION before God. This is because He was condemned before the court of God on your behalf, has fully paid the price for our offence and God has declared Him JUSTIFIED on our behalf in His final verdict. True! (Romans 8:31-34).

3. A position of VICTORY  before God. This is because He was defeated before the court of God on our behalf, has fully paid the price for our defeat and God has declared Him VICTORIOUS on our behalf in His final verdict. True, halleluyah! (Colossians 3:14,15).

The Bible reveals that though He was a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He SUFFERED; And being made perfect, He became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto ALL them that OBEY Him. (Hebrews 5:8,9; Isaiah 53; Hebrews 12:1-4).

Now, know and note that RECEIVING or taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven requires that you personally BELIEVE on Earth what He has done for you before the Court of God against the Devil, your accuser. True! (John 1:12; Romans 10:8-10; 1 John 5:4,5).

This is because God has designed it that for whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMES the World: and this is the VICTORY that overcomes the World, even our FAITH. Who is he that overcomes the World, but he that BELIEVE that Jesus is the Son of God? (1 John 5:4,5).

Therefore, the Bible calls out to you and I thus:

Seeing then that WE have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, JESUS the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 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 4:14-16).

JESUS is the one and only human name (vis-a-vis divine name), God has highly LFTED UP and given to any human being that will BELIEVE in Him on the Earth. True! (Philippians 3:9-11).

Therefore,

1. As you THINK on Earth, think with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognises His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, that He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!

2. As you SPEAK on Earth, speak with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognised His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!

3. As you LIVE on Earth, live with the mindset of taking the POSITION of JESUS before God in Heaven. Again, this is because God only recognised His position as the only one who has fully paid His due, that He the Father requested for the FREEDOM of any human being on Earth. True!

The Bible reveals as HE is when He was on Earth physically, so are WE in this World currently. True! (1 John 4:17).

This is why Apostle Paul said thus:

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet NOT I, but Christ lives IN in me: and the life which I NOW live in the flesh I live BY the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and GAVE Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20; Philippians 4:13,19; Ephesians 2:5-10).

And counselled us to SET our mind on things above, not on things on the Earth. Likewise, Jesus taught us to PRAY down the things of Heaven (Will of God) down to Earth. (Colossians 3:1-4; Matthew 6:9,10).

That is why the Bible says that you shall KNOW the truth and the truth shall make you FREE. And Jesus Christ being the TRUTH of GOD, the Bible says further, if the Son therefore make you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed. Halleluyah! (John 8:32,36).

Again, that is why the Bible counsels you and I that 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 3:17).

This is because JESUS is the only NAME in the record of the Court of God in Heaven that has fully paid His due for His sin on our behalf. True!

Now, if I may ask you, do you think, speak and DO everything each day in the name of Jesus as required by a genuine Child of God in Christ on Earth?

Or are you among many genuine Christians, who are so ashamed of talking or doing anything in the name of JESUS before people of the World?

If yes, then let me shock you with this. That is why many of your prayers are not answered and many of your needs are not met. True!

Jesus Christ undeniably said that if you deny Him before men on Earth, He will also do the same before His Father in Heaven. Hmm, this is scary. (Matthew 10:32,33).

That is why Apostle Paul boldly declared I am not ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto SALVATION to everyone that BELIEVE. Halleluyah! (Romans. 1:16).

Are you ashamed of JESUS in this World?

Are you ashamed of taking the POSITION of JESUS in this World?

Think about it and do something about it now, because not doing so, you will taking the position of defeat and failure in this World. No, don't, for we are sitted with him in the heavenly places far above principalities and powers. Halleluyah! (Matthew 7:24-27; Ephesians 1:15-23).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

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 YOU are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: ARE YOU A WISE OR UNWISE CHRISTIAN IN THIS WORLD?

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Are you a WISE or an UNWISE Christian in this World?

To the glory of God, I am sent this day to ask every true Child of God in Christ currently in the World, a very important and timely QUESTIONS below:

1 Are you a WISE Christian?

2. Are you an UNWISE Christian?

Who is a WISE Christian in the sight and side of God?

It is a Christian that IS living carefully in Christ in this World, not as a fool, but as WISE, therefore, redeeming the TIME in this evil World by understanding and doing the WILL of GOD par time par situation by the help of the Holy Spirit that is within him or her. True!

Who is an UNWISE Christian in the sight and side of God?

It is a Christian that IS NOT living carefully in Christ in this World, but as a FOOL, not as a WISE, therefore, not redeeming the TIME in this evil World by NOT understanding and doing the WILL of GOD par time par situation by the help of the Holy Spirit that is within him or her. True

The Bible says thus:

See then that you WALK circumspectly, 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. (Ephesians 5:15-18).

You are a WISE Christian, if you are thinking, speaking and living according to the WILL of God for you in Christ in this World par time par your situation. True

Are you a WISE Christian?

You are an UNWISE Christian, if you are NOT thinking, speaking and living according to the WILL of God for you in Christ in this World par time par your situation. True

Are you an UNWISE Christian?

If yes, think about it and do something about it now.

Apostle Paul counselled you and I to present our bodies,  LIVING SACRIFICES, holy and acceptable unto God as our reasonable service to Him in Christ in this World. And not to be CONFORMED to this World, but to be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our MINDS, that we may be able to PROVE what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of GOD for us in Christ par time par our situation. (Romans 12:1,2).

Know and note that:

1. THINKING according to the WILL of GOD for us in Christ par time par our situation in this World matters and makes us WISE Christians in the sight and side of God. True!

2. SPEAKING according to the WILL of GOD for us in Christ par time par our situation in this World matters and makes us WISE Christians in the sight and side of God. True!

3. LIVING according to the WILL of GOD for us in Christ par time par our situation in this World matters and makes us WISE Christians in the sight and side of God. True!

Jesus Christ, our ultimate Role Model for living victoriously and successfully God-wise in this World said thus:

Jesus said unto them, My meat is to DO the WILL of Him that sent me, and to FINISH His WORK. (John 4:34; John 17:1-5; 1 John 4:17).

Therefore, He taught you and I to PRAY thus:

After this manner therefore PRAY you: our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10).

And Apostle John confirmed that they received answers to their prayers then by PRAYING according to the WILL of GOD. (1 John 5:14,15).

The Holy Spirit that is within you is given to you to help you UNDERSTAND, PRAY and DO the WILL of GOD for you in Christ par time in this World. True! (1 John 2:27; Romans 8:14,26; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 2:5-10).

Are you allowing Him?

Think about it and do something about it now, for your own good as well as for other people's good, that the name of Lord be glorified on Earth through your life. This is because you are truly a LIVING SACRIFICE in Christ on Earth, when you choose the WILL of GOD par time over every other WILLS, including yours.

And more importantly to note is that the WILL of GOD is fully backed by the unfailing WORD of GOD and provided for by the ever available WEALTH of GOD in Christ. True! (Isaiah 55:8-12; Philippians 4:13; Matthew 5:13-16).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

See then that you WALK circumspectly, 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. (Ephesians 5:15-18).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: LIVING AN EXCEPTIONAL LIFE WITH THE CHRIST IN YOU!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The CHRIST in you lives an EXCEPTIONAL life on the Earth and YOU have to also!

The Bible in 1 John 4:17 reveals that as JESUS CHRIST is, so are WE in this world. Wow!

Now know and note:

1. The Christ in you was EXCEPTIONAL in His THINKING when physically on the Earth.

2. The Christ in you was EXCELLENT in His SPEAKING when physically on the Earth.

3. The Christ in you was EXTRAORDINARY in His LIVING when physically on the Earth.

Yes, that is who the CHRIST in YOU was when on the Earth physically and you are expected to be as well on the Earth as His AMBASSADOR (representative) carrying Him in your spirit. True! (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Therefore, I sent this day to inform you to:

1. Let the CHRIST in you manifest His EXCEPTIONAL thinking mindset through YOU in this World by you being spiritually SENSITIVE to the inner TUTORSHIP of His Holy Spirit within you, which is aimed at you RENEWING your mind only, with the Word of God par time par your situation. (1 John 2:27; Romans 12:1,2; Philippians 4:8,9).

2. Let the CHRIST in you manifest His EXCELLENT speaking grace through YOU in this World by you being spiritually SENSITIVE to the inner INSPIRATION of His Holy Spirit within you, which is aimed at you RELEASING from your mouth only, the Word of God par time par your situation. (Job 32:8; Matthew 10:20; Luke 21:14,15).

3. Let the CHRIST in you manifest His EXTRAORDINARY living lifestyle through you in this World by being spiritually SENSITIVE to the inner PROMPTING or LEADING of His Holy Spirit, which is aimed at you HEARING and OBEYING from your heart only, the Word of God par time par your situation. (Romans 8:9-14; Isaiah 1:19,20).

You and I as God's Children (gods of God) in Christ in this World are not permitted to live less than a spiritually SENSITIVE exceptional, excellent and extraordinary lives in Christ in this World. If not, the Bible says we shall die like men. God forbids! (Psalm 82:5-7; John 10:34,35; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Think about it and do something about it now, if you are not there yet, because the CHRIST in YOU makes it possible for you as a divine god, priest, king, salt and light of the World to have HOPE to GLORY (reign) both on the Earth now and in Heaven some day. True! (Revelation 5:9,10; Matthew 5:13-16).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Even the MYSTERY which has been HID from ages and from generations, but NOW is made manifest to His saints: to whom GOD would make known WHAT is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is CHRIST in YOU, the HOPE of glory. (Colossians 1:27; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

Take note, take heed!

Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHAT GOD DELIGHTED IN AND EXPECTS FROM YOU!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: What God is DELIGHTED in and EXPECTS from YOU!

I am sent today to inform you and call you out from one of the greatest PRIDE of this generation of Christians and Churches, which is preventing them from entering their individual and collective REST and BEST of God for them in Christ in this World. True!

In Jeremiah 9:23, the Bible reveals that God is not DELIGHTED in:

1. Our individual and collective BOASTING (glorying) in our WISDOM in any form. Never!

2. Our individual and collective BOASTING (glorying) in our MIGHT in any form. Never!

3. Our individual and collective BOASTING (glorying) in our RICHES in any form. Never!

But, the above BOASTING (glorying) are what we see today manifesting in the lives of lots of Christians and Churches in Christ in this World. True and so sad!

The Bible reveals in Jeremiah 9:24 that God is only DELIGHTED in you and I in Christ in this World, BOASTING (glorying) that we individually as Christians and collectively as Churches UNDERSTAND and KNOW Him:

1. As a God that exercises LOVING-KINDNESS in the Earth. This is because, it is by His mercy we are not consumed, for His compassion fails not. True! (Psalm 25:6,7; Lamentation 3:22,23).

2. As a God that exercises JUDGMENT in the Earth. This is because, it is His righteous judgments on our behalf that gives us vengeances and victories over our enemies in this World. (Psalm 37:28;29; Psalm 119:61,62).

3. As a God that exercises RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Earth. This is because, it is His righteousness on us that makes the weapons of our enemies and evil judgments against us not to prosper against us. (Psalm 33:5; Isaiah 54:17; Romans 8:31-39).

God wants His Children and Church in Christ in this World to always remember the above as what is making us alive and lifted in Christ in this World, not by our self wisdom, might and riches, as many are BOASTING off today.

The Bible counsels that it is not of him or her that wills or of him or her that runs, but of God that shows mercy. (Romans 9:15,16).

Not to be BOASTFUL of self, his exceptional gift of revelation and his achievements, Apostle Paul said God sent a messenger of Satan (demon) to discipline him and he ask God three times to remove it from Him and God said my grace is sufficient for you. This is the situation many Christians has found themselves today. A situation of struggling and suffering because of their self BOASTING lifestyle and God has allow their buffeting by messengers of Satan. Repentance, staying humble and giving ALL glory to God is the key to divine lifting and remaining lifted. True! (2 Corinthians 12:5-10; James 4:6-10).

To obtain glory for Himself, Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:25-31 by experience that God DELIGHTS in:

1. Choosing the FOOLISH things of the World to confound the things that are WISE in this World.

Are you one of the seemly FOOLISH things in the eyes of the World that God can use to confound the things that are WISE in this World?

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary.

2. Choosing the WEAK things of the World to confound the things that are MIGHTY in this World.

Are you one of the seemly WEAK things in the eyes of the World, that God can use to confound the things that are MIGHTY in this World?

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary.

3. Choosing the BASE things of the World to confound the things that are LIFTED in this World.

Are you one of the seemly BASE things in the eyes of the World that God, can use to confound the things that are LIFTED in this World?

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary.

4. Choosing the DESPISED things of the World to confound the things that are HONOURED in this World.

Are you one of the seemly DESPISED in the eyes of the World, which God can use to confound the things that are HONOURED in this World?

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary.

The Bible counsels you and I in Christ in this World to exchange our human and worldly wisdom for DIVINE WISDOM and not boast (glory) in any man, because human and worldly wisdom are vain and vanity before God. (1 Corinthians 3:18-23).

We are CHOSEN by God in Christ out of the World to show forth His GLORY (praise), not ours, either as an individual or as a Church. (1 Peter 2:9,10).

We are not to think, speak and live in the World like people of the World, who are only driven by their self LUST and PRIDE according to 1 John 2:15-17.

Take note, take heed, the TIME is short and we in Christ in this World must walk and work prayerfully and carefully to REDEEM the time, because the World lies in WICKEDNESS that is championed by Satan and working 24 hours against us fulfilling our days and divine destines in Christ in this World, which is gradually pass away. True! (Ephesians 5:15-18; 1 John 5:16-21; Revelation 12:12).

When we wholeheartedly and sincerely HUMBLE ourselves (either as a Child or Church of God in Christ in this World) under the mighty hand of our God and Father, He will surely DELIGHT in us and EXALT us in due time to the adoration and amazement of the World. True! (1 Peter 5:6-10; Matthew 23:12).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Thus said the LORD, Let NOT the wise man glory in his wisdom, NEITHER let the mighty man glory in his might, let NOT the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised. (Jeremiah 9:23-25).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHAT LOVING GOD TRULY MEANS AND ITS BENEFITS!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: What LOVING God truly means and its BENEFITS!

I observed that many genuine Christians do not really know what LOVING God truly means and the BENEFITS of LOVING God.

But today, I am sent to inform you about LOVING God and the BENEFITS it brings.

There are so many human definitions and dimensions to LOVING God, but let see what Jesus Christ Himself told His disciples  what LOVING God is or rather LOVING Him truly means.

The Jesus Christ revealed that LOVING God or Him means thus:

If you LOVE me, KEEP my Commandments. (John 14:15).

In the above scriptural reference, Jesus Christ said that the only way you can PROOF that you LOVE God (Him) is by KEEPING Him Commandments. No more, no less!

Therefore, as a Child of God in Christ in this World, if you say you LOVE God and KEEP not His Commandments in terms of His Words, you are deceiving yourself on Earth or a liar in the sight and side of God in Heaven. Because the Bible clearly reveals that we proof our LOVE for God by KEEPING His Word. True! (1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 5:2-5).

And no LIAR in the sight and side of God will be pleased and blessed by Him for no reason or season. Never, because the Bible says that ALL liar shall found themselves in the Lake of fire with the father of lie (Satan), if they do not repent on Earth. True! (Revelation 21:8).

Now, there are so many BENEFITS in LOVING God in terms of KEEPING His Word. Among them are:

1. You will be specially loved by God in return. (John 14:23,24).

2. You will enjoy the presence of God, who will come to abide with you. (John 14:23,24; 1 John 3:24).

3. You will enjoy answered prayers. (1 John 3:22-24).

4. You will enjoy all things working together for your good, no matter what. (Romans 8:28).

5. You will not fail or fall during challenging times. (Matthew 7:24-27).

6. You will not die spiritually. (John 10:51,52).

7. You will make Heaven at last and be rewarded accordingly and fairly. Sure! (Revelation 22:7-15).

In the light or understanding of the above, can you sincerely say you truly LOVE God or you have being LOVING God in Christ in terms of KEEPING His WORD faithfully:

1. In your private or public life?

2. In your pleasant or unpleasant hour?

3. In your painful or pleasurable season?

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary, because God only help and bless those that LOVE Him truly in terms of KEEPING His commandments (Words). True! (John 15:7).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man LOVE me, he will KEEP my Words: and my Father will LOVE him, and we will COME unto him, and MAKE our abode with him. He that LOVES me not keeps NOT my sayings: and the word which you hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. (John 14:23,24).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THE NEED TO THINK YOUR WAY THROUGH IN CHRIST!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Think, think and think your way through to your next level of SUCCESS in Christ by the GOD of PEACE being with YOU!

The Bible reveals that for as he THINKS in his HEART, so is he: eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. (Proverbs 23:7).

But then, what must you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World THINK ON?

Apostle Paul gave the answer on what you and I must THINK ON for the GOD of PEACE to be with US in Christ in this World, that is full of lots of things to THINK ON.

He said you and I should always:

1. THINK ON whatsoever things that are TRUE.

2. THINK ON whatsoever things that are HONEST.

3. THINK ON whatsoever things that are JUST.

4. THINK ON whatsoever things that are PURE.

5. THINK ON whatsoever things that are LOVELY.

6. THINK ON whatsoever things that are of GOOD REPORT.

7. THINK ON those things, which you have both learned, received, heard and seen in me (or godly saints), DO and the GOD of PEACE shall be with YOU. (Philippians 8,9).

Only the THINGS of GOD based on the WORD of GOD in Christ has the above stated six (6) outstanding attributes in this World for you and I to THINK ON and DO. The Bible revealing the attributes of the WORD of GOD in different dimensions says that:

1. The LAW of the Lord is PERFECT, converting the soul.

2. The TESTIMONY of the Lord is SURE, making wise the simple.

3. The STATUTES of the Lord are RIGHT, rejoicing the heart.

4. The COMMANDMENT of the Lord is PURE, enlightening the eyes.

5. The FEAR of the Lord is CLEAN, enduring for ever

6. The JUDGMENT of the Lord is TRUE and RIGHTEOUS altogether.

7. More to be DESIRED are they than gold, yes, much more than fine gold... (Psalm 19:7-14).

Do you DESIRE the WORD of GOD and the THINGS of GOD more than GOLD (money) and material things, money can buy in this World?

Remember, the Bible reveals that you and I are not designed and created by GOD to live in this World on physical food alone, but also by spiritual food (the Word of God). Take note, take heed! (Luke 4:4; Matthew 6:24-34).

Now, know and note that if it is through the GOD of Heaven, you are seeking for SUCCESS, I mean good SUCCESS or BLESSING that makes RICH and adds no sorrow, then Joshua 1:8 must be your one and only WATCHWORD. Joshua 1:8 says:

This book of the law (the WORD of GOD) shall NOT depart out of your MOUTH; but you shall MEDITATE (think it) therein day and night, that you may observe to DO according to ALL that is written therein: for THEN you shall MAKE your way prosperous, and THEN you shall have good success. (James 1:22-25).

The Psalmist put it practically this way:

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 DOES he MEDITATE (thinks) 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).

Now, take note and take heed that in the midst of a lots of things to THINK ON in this World, you have a personal RESPONSIBILITY as recommended by the Bible:

1. Not to CONFORM to this World (its ways, principles, traditions, systems, manners, etc), but to TRANSFORM your life by renewing your mind with the WORD of GOD with the help of the SPIRIT of GOD that is within you daily. (Romans 12:1,2; Colossians 2:8-10).

2. To CAST down every imaginations and every high thing that EXALT itself against the KNOWLEDGE of GOD and BRINGING into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).

3. To PROVE all things and HOLD fast that which is good and to abstain from ALL appearance of EVIL in this World by aligning your thinking, speaking and LIVING each day according to the WORD of GOD. (1 Thessalonians 5:21-24).

You cannot LIVE above your THINKING LEVEL on the Earth. You move your LIFE and your LIVING on the Earth from human to divine level by THINKING, speaking and LIVING in terms of God's Word, Ways Will, Wish (expectation), Worth, Work and Wealth in Christ for you in this World. True! (Jeremiah 29:11; Ephesians 2:5-10; Ephesians 2:3-7).

It takes true and unrelenting FAITH in God and His WORD to THINK in His terms and not of the World. That is, to THINK THROUGH to His expectations for you in Christ in this side of life. Divine expectations are first achieved in our unseen hearts and minds, before they are achieved in our seen hands and lives. True!

Think about it and do something about it, where necessary. God bless you!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

For as he THINKS in his HEART, so is he... (Proverbs 23:7).

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.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN ESCAPE ROUTE FOR YOU IN CHRIST!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: There WILL always be an ESCAPE route or way for YOU in Christ.

No matter what you are going through right now, the Bible says it is COMMON to man. That means, you are not the first person experiencing it and you will not be the last person as well. True!

But the good NEWS is that God has promised every genuine Child of His in Christ in this World that He will make them an ESCAPE route in the TEMPTATION (test and trial) season.

The Bible reveals thus:

There had NO temptation taken YOU but such as is COMMON to man: but GOD is FAITHFUL, who will NOT suffer you to be tempted ABOVE that you are ABLE; but will with the temptation also MAKE a way to ESCAPE, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13).

The Bible assures us of God faithfulness thus:

FAITHFUL is He that calls you, who also will DO it. (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Therefore, know and note that if you are a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World:

1. God because of His FAITHFULNESS will not allow you to be tempted ABOVE your spiritual knowledge and ability par time and more importantly, He has already within your STRUGGLING provided for you in Christ an ESCAPE route to make it easy for you to bear it. True!

2. God because of His FAITHFULNESS will not allow you to be tempted ABOVE your spiritual knowledge and ability par time and more importantly, He has already within your SUFFERING provided for you in Christ an ESCAPE route to make it easy for you to bear it. True!

3. God because of His FAITHFULNESS will not allow you to be tempted ABOVE your spiritual knowledge and ability par time and more importantly, He has already within your SORROW provided for you in Christ an ESCAPE route to make it easy for you to bear it. True!

That is why Apostle James counselled thus:

My brethren, COUNT it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; KNOWING this, that the trying of your faith works PATIENCE. But let patience have her perfect work, that YOU may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you LACK wisdom, LET him ask of God, that gives to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. BUT let him ask IN faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let NOT that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:2-8; Hebrews 6:12; 1 Peter 5:7-10).

The KEY or SECRET is this, in your time of struggle, suffering or sorrow, don't fear or get discourage, but SEEK WISDOM from God on how to endure what you are currently face, if it is His will for you or on how to get out of it, if it is not His will for you.

However, the challenge is this, many genuine Christians do not see the LIGHT of Christ brought by God to their DARKNESS (that is, in their time of struggle, suffering and sorrow) because many are not having the Word of God dwelling RICHLY in them in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16) and many have not allowed the Word of God to RENEW their minds and TRANSFORM their lives (Romans 12:1,2):

1. To discern the VOICE of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (John 10:1-5; Hebrews 3:7,8).

2. To discern the TUTORSHIP of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (1 John 2:27).

3. To discern the REVELATION of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (John 16:13-16; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

4. To discern the LEADERSHIP of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (Romans 8:14).

5. To discern the COMFORT of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (John

6. To discern the HELP of the Holy Spirit during their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (Romans 8:26-28).

7. To discern the ESCAPE ROUTE of the Holy Spirit OUT of their struggling, suffering or sorrow season. (2 Corinthians 3:27; Galatians 5:1).

8. And so on.

Remember, JESUS CHRIST is not only the truth and the life, He is also the WAY or ROUTE of ESCAPE of  God from every satanic gang up against you and I in this World. True! (John 14:5,6; John 10:1-10).

Apostle Paul declared thus:

For I am NOT ashamed of the GOSPEL of CHRIST: for it is the POWER of GOD unto SALVATION to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For THEREIN is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith. (Romans 1: 16,17; 1 Corinthians 1:24; 2 Corinthians 3:17).

Think about it, because by the mercy and grace of God, you are ESCAPING now from every satanic traps and gang up against you in Jesus name. Be ENCOURAGED, there is HOPE for you. God bless you!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

There had NO temptation taken YOU but such as is COMMON to man: but GOD is FAITHFUL, who will NOT suffer you to be tempted ABOVE that you are ABLE; but will with the temptation also MAKE a way to ESCAPE, that you may be able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13; James 1:12-15).

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.
