THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: ONLY THE FEAR OF GOD CAN TRULY HELP YOU!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

                   (A must read special edition)

Today's Focus: Only the FEAR of GOD can help you!

I was woken up suddenly at 2:50am by the Spirit of God with the statement, the FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING of WISDOM.

The wisest King that lived on Earth before Jesus Christ on Earth discovered and said thus:

The FEAR of the LORD is the beginning of WISDOM: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 1:7; Job 28:28; Ecclesiastes 12:13,14).

It is unfortunate that lots of Christians today has forgotten that the FEAR of GOD is the BEGINNING of DIVINE WISDOM on Earth. So sad, so bad!

Today, the FEAR of GOD is far from the thinking, speaking and LIVING of so many Christians. Therefore, they do not enter and enjoy DIVINE WISDOM, REST and BEST in Christ for them on Earth. So sad, so bad!

Many Christians today do no longer FEAR God as proven:

1. By the way and manner they consciously and consistently involve themselves in SIN without genuine REPENTANCE. So sad, so bad!

Take note, take heed, because being involved in SIN allows Satan to touch you at will on Earth. (1 John 5:18-21).

2. By the way and manner they consciously and consistently they get themselves involved in intimate relationships with SINNERS without genuine SEPARATION. So sad, so bad!

Take note, take heed, because being involved in intimate relationships with SINNERS gives Satan and Sin access to you any time on Earth. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Psalm 1:1-3).

3. By the way and manner they consciously and consistently are drawn to the enticements of SATAN without genuine DISCIPLINE. So sad, so bad!

Take note, take heed, because being drawn to the enticements of SATAN will get you into Sin and spiritual and physical death any time, any day on Earth. (James 1:12-15; 1 John :215-17).

You said you are a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World, but do you really and truly FEAR GOD?

Do you humbly and obediently allow the WORD of GOD to inspire your thinking, speaking and living on Earth each day?

Do you humbly and obediently allows the WAYS of GOD to influence your thinking, speaking and living on Earth each day?

Do you humbly and obediently allows the WILL of GOD to instruct your thinking, speaking and living on Earth each day?

Do you wants to enter and to begin to enjoy DIVINE WISDOM on Earth?

Then, consciously and consistently FEAR GOD, no matter what and your DIVINE WISDOM will consistently GROW and your life as well will consistently GLOW in all area in Christ on Earth. True! (1 Corinthians 3:18-20).

It is TIME for you and EVERY genuine Child of God in Christ on Earth to GET BACK to consciously and consistently have the FEAR the LORD again, says the Spirit of God. (Ephesians 5:15-18).

Will you? Yes, I will!

Always remember that nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, the LORD knows THEM that are HIS. And, Let EVERY ONE that names the name of Christ DEPART from iniquity. (2 Timothy 2:19; 1 John 3:1-3).

The truth to be told, many Christians do not FEAR GOD because they ENVY sinners, who may be their family members, neighbours, friends, colleagues at work, church members and so on. However, the Bible counsels us thus:

Let NOT thine heart ENVY sinners: but be you in the FEAR of the LORD all the day long. For SURELY there is an end; and THINE expectation shall NOT be cut off. (Proverbs 23:17; Psalm 73).

Very encouraging!

God never leaves or disappoint those that consciously and truly FEAR Him and depart from evil to honour Him on Earth. Never!

Now, know and note that apart from Wisdom (1), other BENEFITS of the FEAR of GOD are:

1. The FEAR of the LORD is the BEGINNING OF WISDOM. (Proverbs 9:10; Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 15:33; Job 28:28; Ecclesiastes 12:13,14).

2. The FEAR of the LORD is to HATE EVIL. (Proverbs 8:13; Proverbs 16:6).

3. The FEAR of the LORD CLEANSES. (Psalm 19:9).

4. The FEAR of the LORD is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE. (Proverbs 14:27; Proverbs 19:23).

5. The FEAR of the LORD PROLONGS DAYS. (Proverbs 10:27).

6. The FEAR of the LORD gives STRONG CONFIDENCE. (Proverbs 14:26).

7. The FEAR of the LORD with little is far better than having much without it. (Proverbs 15:16).

8. The FEAR of the LORD is RICHES. (Proverbs 22:4).

Only the reverence FEAR of the LORD can make create and spend quality TIME with God now on Earth as you look forward to spending ETERNITY with Him in Heaven someday. True!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

TRUST in the LORD with ALL thine heart; and LEAN NOT unto thine OWN understanding. In ALL thy ways ACKNOWLEDGE Him, and He shall DIRECT your paths. Be NOT wise in your OWN eyes: FEAR the LORD, and DEPART from EVIL. It shall be HEALTH to your navel, and marrow to thy bones. (Proverbs 3:5; 1 Corinthians 3:18-20).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: IS GOD TRULY YOUR SPIRITUAL AND HEAVENLY FATHER IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD?

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Is GOD truly your spiritual and heavenly FATHER in Christ in this World?

Many genuine Christians are IGNORANT that God is their spiritual and heavenly FATHER in Christ in this World. True!

Therefore, many genuine Christians do not RELATE or PRAY to Him (God) as their loving and caring Father that is NEAR and even WITHIN them, but as one DISTANT invisible being somewhere, who they are trying to REACH OUT to in Christ from this World. So sad, so bad!

Child of God, that should not be so for you. Now, know and note this that:

1. God is your spiritual and heavenly FATHER that COMPASSIONATELY LOVES you so much than no other. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Behold, what manner of LOVE the FATHER has bestowed upon us, that WE should be called the SONS of GOD: therefore the World knows us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure. (1 John 3:1-3).

2. God is your spiritual and heavenly FATHER that CARES for you so much than no other. True!

The Bible reveals to us 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. (1 Peter 5:6,7).

3. God is your spiritual and heavenly FATHER that CHASTISES (disciplines) you so much than no other for your own good. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

My son, despise not the CHASTENING of the LORD; neither be weary of His correction: For whom the LORD LOVES He CORRECTS; even as a FATHER the son in whom he delights. Happy is the man that finds wisdom, and the man that gets understanding. (Proverbs 3:11-13).

Furthermore, the Bible counsels us thus:

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks unto you as unto children, My son, despise NOT you the CHASTENING of the LORD, nor faint when you art rebuked of Him: If ye 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 12:5-14).

Until you grow to a spiritual MATURITY and CONSCIOUSNESS of God being your spiritual and heavenly FATHER in practical terms, there are many:

1. Supernatural to natural EXCEPTIONAL ENCOUNTERS you cannot enter and enjoy. True!

2. Supernatural to natural EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES you cannot enter and enjoy. True!

3.  Supernatural to natural EXCLUSIVE BLESSINGS you cannot enter and enjoy. True!

True to be told, there already spiritual BLESSINGS the Father has blessed us with in Christ Jesus that we need to RELATE and PRAY to Him in the consciousness of His Children in Christ to RECEIVE in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly PLACES in Christ: According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the World, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of CHILDREN by Jesus Christ to HIMSELF, according to the good pleasure of His will, To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7).

Therefore, Jesus Christ taught us 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. (Matthew 6:9,10).

JESUS CHRIST our ultimate role model for thinking, speaking and living on Earth to please God, always RELATE and PRAY to His heavenly FATHER, not as a stranger to Him, but a SON. And remember the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17; Hebrews 12:1-4).

For example, Jesus Christ said thus:

1. 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. (John 5:17-20).

2. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And JESUS lifted up His eyes, and said, FATHER, I thank you that you had HEARD me. (John 11:41).

Becoming consciously AWARE of God as your spiritual and heavenly FATHER cannot be by an UNSERIOUS and immature WALK (relationship) and WORK (responsibility) with God in Christ in this World, but by a SERIOUS and mature walk and work with God, where you grow from being just a CHILD of God, but being a SON of God indeed.

This was Apostle Paul personal experience thus:

When I was a CHILD, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a MAN, I put away childish things. (1 Corinthians 13:11).

Therefore, he was disappointed by the continuous CHILDISHNESS of genuine Christians, who after several years in Christ are supposed to be teachers of the Word of God based on their spiritual growth over time and mature relationship with God as their spiritual and heavenly FATHER are still babes 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 useth 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; Ephesians 5:15-18).

You got to MAKE UP your mind in Christ to STEP UP from being a BABY Christian to be a ADULT Christian, who CONSCIOUSLY knows, RELATES and prays to God as his or her spiritual and heavenly FATHER. This is to enable you to ENTER and enjoy the FULLNESS of Christ obtained already for you by Jesus Christ, our brother. Halleluyah!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a SERVANT, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors UNTIL the time appointed of the father. EVEN so we, when we were CHILDREN, were in bondage under the elements of the World: But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore you art NO more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Galatians 4:1-7; Romans 8:28-30).

You will NOT enter and enjoy so many GOOD and GREAT things of God your spiritual and heavenly FATHER in Christ in this World:

1. Until you GROW UP spiritually from being a CHILDISH Christian to be a SONSHIP Christian. True!

2. Until you consciously and spiritually grow up to RELATE and PRAY to God as your spiritual and heavenly FATHER in Christ in this World. True!

Take note, take heed!

Don't be deceived, a PROVE that you are a SON of God and God is your FATHER, is that:

1. You have sacrificially SEPARATE yourself to Him in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

2. You are allowing Him to LEAD daily by His Word in the Bible and by His HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you in this World. True!

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD, they are the SONS of GOD. (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; 2 Timothy 3:16,17; 1 John 2:27).

Are you truly one of them?

When you consciously allowed GOD to be your spiritual and heavenly FATHER in Christ in this World indeed and you consciously as well allows Him to LEAD you daily, you will SEE on daily basis that GOD is indeed GOOD and FAITHFUL. True! (Psalm 86:5; Proverbs 3:5-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Give it a try in faith!

It is unfortunate that lots of genuine Christians today sees their earthly FATHER more responsible to their challenges and needs than their heavenly FATHER. Jesus Christ said this is not true. (Matthew 7:7-12; Matthew 6:24-34).

No matter what you are facing right now friend, GOD is GOOD and CARES for you more than any other. True (1 Peter 5:6,7).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

One God and FATHER of ALL, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ephesians 4:6; Hebrews 12:9; James 1:17).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: GET IT NOW, DIVINE PRINCIPLES ARE OPPOSITE TO HUMAN PRINCIPLES!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Get it now, DIVINE principles are OPPOSITE to HUMAN principles and you have got to OBEY them to GET divine results!


Oh Child of God, do you not KNOW that your God and Father, the Creator and Owner of Heaven and Earth's principles are OPPOSITE to human principles?

So, why are you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World thinking, speaking and living by HUMAN principles instead of DIVINE principles? Why?

It is unfortunate to see lots of genuine Christians today:

1. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF THINKING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF THINKING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, not to talk of producing divine results. True! (Romans 8:1-14).

2. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF SPEAKING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF SPEAKING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, talkless of producing divine results. True! (James 3).

3. Looking forward to achieve DIVINE results with HUMAN principles driven WAYS OF LIVING, which are opposite to DIVINE principles driven WAYS OF LIVING in Christ in this World. So sad, so bad, because it cannot even please God, not to talk of producing divine results. True! (1 John 2:15-17).

For example:

1. Concerning WEAKNESS (or sickness), divine principle says:

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: LET the WEAK say, I am STRONG. (Joel 3:10).

This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!

2. Concerning INCREASE, divine principle says:

There is that SCATTERS, and yet INCREASES; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: but blessing shall be upon the head of him that sells it. (Proverbs 11:24).

This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!

3. Concerning CAST DOWN, divine principle says:

When men are CAST DOWN, then you shall say, there is LIFTING UP; and he shall save the humble person. (Job 22:29).

This is contrary to human principle in all obvious sense. True!

4. Concerning WALKING on Earth, divine principle says:

For we walk by FAITH, not by SIGHT. (2 Corinthians 5:7).

And so on.

That is why Apostle Paul warned us 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 fullness of the Godhead bodily. And you are COMPLETE in Him, which is the Head of ALL principality and power: (Colossians 2:8-10).

The truth to be told, many genuine Christians have proudly found this biblically counsel challenging to compile with in this World:

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. (1 Corinthians 3:18).

Are you one them?

Don't be deceived,

1. Until you "foolishly" align your THINKING from human principles ways of thinking to divine principles ways of thinking, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us 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; Philippians 4:8,9).

Take note, take heed!

2. Until you "foolishly" align your SPEAKING from human principles ways of speaking to divine principles ways of speaking, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!

That is why the Bible revealed us thus:

This book of the law shall NOT depart out of your MOUTH; but you shall meditate 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. (Joshua 1:8; Matthew 12:34-37; James 3).

Take note, take heed!

3. Until you "foolishly" align your LIVING from human principles ways of living to divine principles ways of living, you cannot encounter and experience divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True!

That is why Apostle John counselled us 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 doeth the will of God abides for ever. (1 John 2:15-17).

Take note, take heed!

Don't be deceived, CHRISTIANITY practice is not HUMAN principles driven in man and Satan, but DIVINE principles driven in Christ. True!

Now, know and note that the word REPENT means CHANGE of mind or thinking. Therefore, it is saddening to say that while lots of genuine Christians have STAYED away from their SINS morally before men, many have not truly REPENTED (changed their thinking) from human principles to divine principles mentally before God. Thus, the powerless, purposeless and unproductive Christianity practice of today in the World. So sad, so bad!

Are you one of them?

Then, it is TIME to REPENT (change or renew your mind or thinking with the Word of God and help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you). (Ephesians 5:15-18).

God sees you as a WICKED and UNRIGHTEOUS person when you are thinking, speaking and living contrary to His principles (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World. True! (Isaiah 55:6-12).

Always remember that the FOOLISHNESS of God is WISER than men; and the WEAKNESS of God is STRONGER than men. For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: BUT God has CHOSEN the FOOLISH things of the World to confound the WISE; and God has CHOSEN the WEAK things of the World to confound the things which are MIGHTY; And BASE things of the World, and things which are DESPISED, has God CHOSEN, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That NO flesh should glory (boast) in His presence. But of Him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glories (boasts), let him glory in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:25-31).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near: 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, said 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 55:6-12).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: UNTIL YOU LEARN TO THINK, SPEAK AND LIVE NOT BY SIGHT, YOU WILL NOT BE USED OR BLESSED BY GOD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Until you LEARN to think, speak and LIVE not by SIGHT, you will not be USED or BLESSED by God in Christ in this World!

Jesus Christ told us that God the Father is a Spirit. This means that God the Father is a Spirit being who LIVES and WORKS in the spirit World in Heaven INVISIBLE to human beings that lives and works on the Earth. True! (John 4:24).

Unfortunately, many genuine Christians think, speak and live judging the works of God the Father in Christ in their lives by SIGHT. So sad, so bad!

It saddening that lots of genuine Christians are not aware that because God the Father LIVES in spirit World, He WORKS and FINISHES in the spirit world FIRST what He want to SEE manifest in their lives in Christ on the Earth before allowing what He had already WORKED OUT to become realities in and through their lives in Christ on Earth. True!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us 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. (Philippians 1:12,13).

Now, JESUS CHRIST, our role model for thinking, speaking and living powerfully and purposefully on Earth to please God the Father once revealed thus:

But Jesus answered them, My Father WORKS hitherto, and I WORK. 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. (John 5:17-20).

Jesus Christ revealed to us with the above scriptural reference that as a Son of God on Earth, He only SAW and DID on Earth (the visible realm) what He SAW the Father DID in Heaven (the invisible realm) par time. That means Jesus Christ FIRST saw with His INSIGHT what God the Father was DOING in spirit world, believed it and DID the same in human World. Great secret of our Lord and Savour!

Remember, the Bible reveals to us that as HE (Jesus Christ) is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).

That is why He (Jesus Christ) taught us to PRAY and SEEK 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. But SEEK you FIRST the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you. (Matthew 6:9,10,33).

Therefore, you and I who believe in God the Father in Christ are expected:

1. To THINK not by SIGHT, but by FAITH.

That is, to think thoughts from the INSIGHTS of the written Word of God and from the INFLUENCES of the spoken Word of God by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us in this World and not from the SIGHTS and INFLUENCES of the World of humans, since God our Father lives and thinks thoughts FIRST for us in the spirit world what He wants us to THINK and SEE in due time in our lives in Christ in our human World. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

For I know the THOUGHTS that I think TOWARD you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall you call upon me, and you shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, said the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, said the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. (Jeremiah 29:11-14).

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled us 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; 1 Timothy 1:7; Philippians 4:8,9; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 John 2:15-17; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

2. To SPEAK not by SIGHT, but by FAITH.

That is, to speak words from the INSIGHTS of the written Word of God and from the INSPIRATIONS of the spoken Word of God by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us in this World and not from the SIGHTS and INSPIRATIONS of the World of humans, since God our Father lives and speaks FIRST for us in the spirit world what He want us to speak and SEE in due time in our lives in Christ in our human world. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

(As it is written, I have made you a father of many nations,) before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead, and CALLS those things which be NOT as though they were. (Romans 4:17; Hebrews 11:3; Joshua 1:8; Job 32:8; Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

Therefore, Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

We having the same SPIRIT of FAITH, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; WE also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK. (2 Corinthians 4:13).

3. To LIVE or WORK not by SIGHT, but by FAITH.

That is, to make our choices and take our decisions or actions from the INSIGHTS of the written Word of God and from the INSTRUCTIONS of the spoken Word of God by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within us in this World and not from the SIGHT of the World of humans, since God our Father lives, make choices and take actions FIRST for us in the spirit world what He wants us to make or take and SEE in due time in our lives in Christ in the human world. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

But as it is written, EYE 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 knoweth 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 teaches; COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth 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 judges ALL things, yet he himself is judged of NO man. For who has known the MIND of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But WE have the MIND of CHRIST. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18).

Therefore, Brother James counselled us to ask for WISDOM in FAITH in our time of challenges thus:

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers TEMPTATIONS (trials and tests); 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 upbraideth 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; 1 Peter 5:7-10; James 1:12-15).

And Apostle John counselled us to ABIDE on whatsoever WISDOM we are taught thus:

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) 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, you shall ABIDE in Him. (1 John 2:27).

Let no one deceive you, the Bible reveals to us thus:

1. For we walk by FAITH, not by SIGHT. (2 Corinthians 5:7).

2. But that NO man is justified by the law in the SIGHT of God, it is evident: for, The JUST (the justified in Christ in this World) shall LIVE by FAITH. (Galatians 3:11).

3. 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).

The above scriptural references reveals to us that we are reward only when we think, speak and live by FAITH and not by SIGHT, we are rewarded by God on Earth now and in Heaven someday. True! (2 Timothy 4:5-8; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).

So, the truth to be told:

1. You must personally LEARN to KNOW through the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World, what God the Father is THINKING in the spirit world in Heaven about your current challenges or circumstances and align your THINKING to it long enough as Jesus Christ always did while on Earth, to get your uncomfortable challenges or circumstances changed to divine desires in Christ for you in the human world. True!

Take note, take heed!

2. You must personally LEARN to KNOW through the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World, what God the Father is SPEAKING in the spirit world in Heaven about your challenges or circumstances and align your SPEAKING to it long enough as Jesus Christ always did while on Earth, to get your uncomfortable challenges or circumstances changed to divine desires in Christ for you in the human world. True!

Take note, take heed!

3. You must personally LEARN to KNOW through the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World, what God the Father is DOING in the spirit world in Heaven about your challenges or circumstances and align your DOING to it long enough as Jesus Christ always did while on Earth, to get your uncomfortable challenges or circumstances changed to divine desires in Christ for you in the human world. True!

Take note, take heed!

Finally to know and note is that the Bible counsels us thus:

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us LAY aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is set before us, LOOKING unto Jesus the author and finisher of our FAITH; who for the JOY that was SET before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is SET down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him that endured such CONTRADICTION of sinners against Himself, LEST you be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1-3).

Irrespective of the CONTRADICTION in JESUS CHRIST'S life compared to what God has ordained in Heaven for Him on Earth, He did not give up, but look up to God's promises for Him in Heaven and it became so for Him during His lifetime on Earth and in Heaven thereafter. Therefore, we are asked to LOOK unto Him as an ultimate EXAMPLE, who is the Author and Finisher of our FAITH. True!

Where, who and what are you LOOKING at?

Apostle Paul and other of Jesus Christ's disciples think, speak and live as revealed to them par time by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is in them and they got obvious divine results in Christ to their advantage and to lots of other people's advantage as well . True!

That is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

If you then be RISEN with Christ, SEEK those things which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. SET your affection on things ABOVE, not on things on the Earth. For you are dead, and your life is HID with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4).

Do you know what God is THINKING, SPEAKING and DOING in Heaven concerning your current challenges or circumstances?

If, yes, are you thinking, speaking and doing by what God the Father is asking you to think, speak and do respectively to see CHANGES in your situations in this World?

Remember, until you personally LEARN to think, speak and LIVE not by SIGHT, you will not be able to be USE or BLESS by God in Christ in this World. You will not be able to enter and enjoy your divine REST and BEST in Christ in this World. True!

Don't be deceived!

Don't be left behind in entering and enjoying divine REST and BEST in Christ for the saints in this World. It is time for you to GROW UP spiritually. True! (Hebrews 5:12-14).

When you think, speak and live by FAITH and not by SIGHT, you will find the STRENGTH in God to overcome, enter and enjoy God's REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World each day. (Philippians 4:13,19; Matthew 6).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

For which cause we faint NOT; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is RENEWED day by day For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we LOOK NOT at the things which are SEEN, but at the things which are NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN are TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN are ETERNAL. (2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 1:15-23).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO NOT ONLY PRAY, BUT ALSO WATCH!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: You are supposed to NOT only PRAY, but also WATCH to enter your divine REST and BEST in Christ in this World!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

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 5:8-10; John 10:10).

It saddens me that after reading the scripture above, lots of genuine Christians thinks the Devil WALKS on Earth as a spirit being alone and not as human being as well through human beings. So sad, so bad!

But, I am sent today to inform as many genuine Christians as possible to know and note that:

1. The Devil is as close as Judas Iscariot  was to Jesus Christ at a certain time of His earthly life to THINK against Him.

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this World unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the World, He loved them unto the end. And supper being ended, the DEVIL having now PUT into the HEART of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him; (John 13:1,2; John 8:37-44; Acts).

Therefore, always WATCH human beings around you closely and always PRAY approximately to God intimately as Jesus Christ did to overcome. Take note, take heed!

2. The Devil is as close as Peter was to Jesus Christ at a certain time of His earthly life to SPEAK against Him.

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

Then charged He His disciples that they should tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ. From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples, how that He must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then PETER took Him, and began to rebuke Him, saying, be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you. But He turned, and said unto PETER, get you behind me, SATAN: you art an offence unto me: for you savours not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. (Matthew 16:20-23).

Therefore, always WATCH human beings around you closely and always PRAY approximately to God intimately as Jesus Christ did to overcome. Take note, take heed!

3. The Devil is as close as Judas Iscariot (again) was to Jesus Christ at a certain time of His earthly life to TAKE ACTION against Him.

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

Then entered SATAN into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude. (Luke 22:3-6; John 6:64-71).

Therefore, always WATCH human beings closely and always PRAY approximately to God intimately as Jesus did to overcome. Take note, take heed!

Jesus Christ before leaving the Earth, told His disciples (including you and I) to BEWARE of MEN, not Satan, because He knew SATAN works against Him on Earth through people, the way they THINK, SPEAK and ACT. Likewise, he (Satan) will do with Him (Jesus Christ) in us as the Holy Spirit.  Remember that the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).

Therefore, Jesus Christ before He went to Heaven counselled His disciples and us 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 you 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. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. FEAR you NOT therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows. Whosoever therefore shall CONFESS me before men, Him will I CONFESS also before my Father which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall DENY me before men, Him will I also DENY before my Father which is in Heaven. Think NOT that I am COME to send peace on Earth: I came NOT to SENT peace, but a SWORD. For I am COME to SET a MAN at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's FOES shall be they of his OWN household. He that kfather or mother more than me is NOT worthy of me: and he that LOVES son or daughter more than me is NOT worthy of me. And he that TAKE NOT his cross, and FOLLOWS after me, is NOT worthy of me. He that FINDS his life shall LOSE it: and he that LOSES his life for my sake shall FIND it. (Matthew 10:16-39; Matthew 7:13-27; Luke 18:28-30).

It is well. Take note, take heed!

The truth to be told, many genuine Christians are not OVERCOMING, SUCCEEDING and PROGRESSING today because of the secret wickedness of their supposed family members, church members, business associates, colleagues at work, neighbours, etc against them, unknowing to them. True, but so sad!

Therefore, the Bible counsels us before hand 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; (Ephesians 5:15-18; 1 John 5:18-21; Romans 12:1,2).

It is unfortunate that many genuine Christians are seriously PRAYING, but they are not carefully WATCHING. So sad, so bad!

Jesus Christ told us not to only PRAY, but to WATCH as well. True!

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

WATCH and PRAY, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41).

And His true disciples will always do as instructed. True!

That was the case, when Apostle Peter said to Ananias thus:

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? (Acts 5:3).

That was the case, when Apostle Paul was grieved by a demon possessed damsel and took charge thus:

And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain DAMSEL possessed with a SPIRIT of DIVINATION met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same FOLLOWED Paul and us, and cried, SAYING, these men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. (Acts 16:16-18; Acts 13:6-12).

What about you and I today?

Are we just PRAYING without WATCHING?

I guess that is why the Devil has taken so much advantage of us today and the World no longer really see much of our individual and collective divine light anymore. True!

Oh Lord, help us your Church, individually and collectively in Jesus name.

Until you learn not to only PRAY, but also to spiritually and physically WATCH your relationships, friendships, fellowships, associations, partnerships, mentorships, etc with human beings and know when to SEPARATE, if need be, you might not be able to ENTER and ENJOY your divine REST and BEST in Christ for you in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

WATCH and PRAY, that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: ARE YOU WORSHIPPING GOD THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH IN CHRIST?

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Are you worshipping God the Father in SPIRIT and in TRUTH in Christ?

JESUS CHRIST revealed to us that GOD the Father is a SPIRIT and went further to say that God the Father seeks TRUE worshippers. That is, those who will WORSHIP Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH in this New Testament (Covenant) age of the World.

The Bible reveals this to us thus:

The woman said unto Him, Sir, I perceive that you art a prophet. Our fathers WORSHIPPED in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. JESUS said unto her, Woman, BELIEVE me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, WORSHIP the Father. You worship you know NOT what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and in TRUTH: for the Father SEEKS such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. (John 4:19-24).

Are you a TRUE WORSHIPPER of the Father?

A True worshipper, worship God the Father:

1.  In SPIRIT and

2. In TRUTH.

Now, know and note that:

1. You worship the Father in SPIRIT, when you allow the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you to inspire and lead you in all you do as a genuine follower of our Lord Jesus Christ in this World. True!

Jesus Christ is the SPIRIT we the New Testament (Covenant) believers must worship the Father IN. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

Now the LORD is that SPIRIT: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. (2 Corinthians 3:17;  1 John 4:1-4).

The Bible reveals to us thus:

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

Therefore, Apostle Paul revealed to us thus:

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. For as many as are LED by the SPIRIT of God, they are the SONS of God. (Romans 8:9,14; Galatians 5:18; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; 1 John 2:27).

Take note, take heed!

The truth to be told, You worship the Father in SPIRIT, when you allow the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you to inspire and lead you in all you do as a genuine follower of our Lord Jesus Christ in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:1-28).

Can you now confidently say that you are worshipping God the Father in SPIRIT?

Don't be deceived, only those who worship God the Father in SPIRIT that the Father SEEKS in Christ, USE in Christ and BLESS in Christ in this World. True!

2. You worship the Father in TRUTH, when you allow the the Holy Spirit inspired written and spoken WORD, WAYS and WILL of GOD in Christ for you to influence and guide you in all you think, speak and do as a genuine follower of our Lord Jesus Christ in this World. True!

Jesus Christ is the TRUTH we the New Testament (Covenant) believers must worship the Father IN. True!

Jesus said, 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; 2 Timothy 3:16,17).

JESUS said unto him, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life: no man COME unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6).

Apostle John confirmed this to us thus:

In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) FULL of grace and TRUTH. John bare witness of Him, and cried, saying, this was He of whom I spake, He that comes after me is preferred before me: for He was before me. And of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:1,14-17

Therefore, 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; Philippians 2:5-11).

He went further to plead with us 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; 1 Peter 1:14-17; James 1:22-25; 1John 2:15-17).

Therefore, He (Apostle Paul) counselled us 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 you 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).

Take note, take heed!

The truth to be told, you worship the Father in TRUTH, when you allow the Holy Spirit inspired written and spoken WORD, WAYS and WILL of GOD in Christ for you to influence and guide you in all you think, speak and do as a genuine follower of our Lord Jesus Christ in this World. True! (Matthew 7:13-27).

Can you now confidently say that you are worshipping God the Father in TRUTH?

Don't be deceived, only those who worship God the Father in TRUTH that the Father SEEKS in Christ, USE in Christ and BLESS in Christ in this World. True!

Remember, 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).

Now, know and note that if you truly worship God the Father in Christ in SPIRIT and in TRUTH as explained above, you will be STRONG in the Lord and in the POWER of His Might to WITHSTAND against any satanic and human attacks and oppositions against you par time and still STANDING strong thereafter. In other words, no Devil, demons and human beings on Earth will be able to WITHSTAND or STAND against you and PREVAIL. Never! (Ephesians 6:10-18; Daniel 11:32; Romans 8).

Halleluyah! Halleluyah!! Halleluyah!!!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

But the hour comes, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall worship the Father in SPIRIT and in TRUTH: for the Father SEEKS such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. (John 4:23,24).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOKD: MAKE SURE YOU ARE PRAYING FROM A SPIRITUAL MIND TO GOD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Make sure you are PRAYING in the name of Jesus Christ from a SPIRITUAL (renewed) MIND to God!

Many genuine Christians do not know that the STATE (condition) of their MIND matters to the answers to their PRAYERS they are making to God the Father in Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ from the Earth. So sad, so bad!

The Bible reveals to us that:

1. To be CARNALLY MINDED (Worldly driven in thoughts) is death and to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED (Word of God driven in thoughts) is life and peace. True!

2. A CARNAL MIND (Worldly state of mind) is ENMITY to God and your guess is as good as mine. Your enemy cannot help and bless you. True! (Romans 8:1-8; 1 John 2:15-17; James 4:1-5).

Therefore, don't be deceived friend:

1. When you PRAY from an CANAL (unrenewed with the Word of God) MIND, your prayer is powerless and becomes unproductive and fruitless for you in Christ in due time in this World. True!

2. When you PRAY from a SPIRITUAL (renewed with the Word of God) MIND, your prayer is powerful and becomes productive and fruitful for you in Christ in due  time in this World. True!

This is because you are or will eventually become what you THINK and not just what you PRAY about. True!

The Bible reveals this truth to us thus:

For as he THINKS in his heart, SO is he: Eat and drink, said he to you; but his heart is not with you. (Proverbs 23:7).

And that why Apostle Paul counselled us 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 you 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).

That is why it is good for you to heed to Apostle Paul's plead and achieve this first before praying concerning any situation:

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; 1 John 2:15-17).

Then surely as Apostle John revealed, it shall be so for you thus:

 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15. And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. (1 John 5:14,15).

This is because one of the primary reason of PRAYER is to ask God to let His WILL be done on Earth as it is in Heaven concerning any situation we find ourselves par time. And the truth to be told, a CARNAL MIND (Worldly driven mind) cannot please God, not to talk of praying the Will of God down on Earth as it is in Heaven. Never! (Matthew 6:9,10).

Therefore, know and note that only a SPIRITUAL MIND (Word of God driven mind) can please God, pray the Will of God down on Earth as it is in Heaven and live by FAITH to see it happen on Earth. True!

Therefore, the Holy Spirit is given to us to help us renewed our mind with the Word of God and PRAY down the Will of God on Earth as it is in Heaven for us and others par time. True! (Hebrews 11:1-6; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Romans 8:1-8, 26,27).

That is why we encourage genuine followers of Jesus Christ to study their Bible. This is to enable them RENEWED their MIND with the Word of God and with the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them, so that they can first of all PROVE the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of God (in Christ) in Heaven concerning a situation and then PRAY it down on Earth to their own and other people's benefits for the glory of God on Earth. True! (Romans 12:1; 2 Timothy 2:15; Matthew 5:5:13-16).

Take note, take heed!

Yes, we serve a prayer hearing God. However, who answers prayers made from a SPIRITUALLY minded life in Christ in this World. True!

And always remember that we as Children of God in Christ in this World have an adversary (the Devil, manifesting against us both in form of spirit beings and human beings) who does not want to see the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of God to be seen in our lives in Christ in this World. However, spiritually minded Christians knows the World is not a PLAYGROUND, but a BATTLEGROUND. True! (1 Peter 5:7-10; 1 John 5:18-21; 1 John 4:1-4).

Are you one of them?

Today's Focus from Scripture:

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; but to be SPIRITUALLY minded 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.  Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities: for we know NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself 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. (Romans 8:5-8,26,27; Colossians 3; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: YOU CAN ONLY AND TRULY LOVE OTHERS BY LOVING GOD FIRST!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: You can ONLY and TRULY love others (even in marriage) by LOVING God and KEEPING His Commandments in Christ for you first in this World!

Once Jesus Christ was asked which is the FIRST (vis-à-vis the greatest) Commandment of God amongst others and He said thus:

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, Which is the FIRST Commandment of all? And JESUS answered him, the FIRST of all the ommandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And you shall LOVE the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart, and with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind, and with ALL your strength: this is the FIRST Commandment. And the SECOND is like, namely this, you shall LOVE your neighbour as yourself. There is NONE other commandment GREATER than these. (Mark 12:12-31).

Jesus Christ stated clearly in the above scriptural passage that:

1. Loving GOD is the FIRST greatest commandment we should seek to obey in this World.

2. Loving OTHERS is the SECOND greatest commandment we should seek to obey in this World.

However, know and note that the FIRST greatest commandment, that is:

1. Loving GOD unconditionally and practically in Christ in this World, is by NO other way, but by KEEPING His Commandments (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World. True!

Jesus Christ revealed that:

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

Are you asking, how can I truly LOVE God?

Jesus Christ said, it is by KEEPING His (God's) commandments. That is, God's instructions wriiten in the Bible or spoken to you personally by the Holy Spirit. True! (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 1John 2:27; Romans 8:14).

Don't be deceived, there is no other way!

Likewise, know and note that the SECOND greatest commandment, that is:

2. Loving OTHERS unconditionally and practically in Christ in this World, is by NO other way, but by LOVING GOD and KEEPING His Commandments (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World as well. True!

Apostle John revealed this to us thus:

By this we KNOW that we LOVE the Children of God, when we LOVE God, and KEEP His Commandments. For this is the LOVE of GOD, that we KEEP His Commandments: and His Commandments are NOT grievous. (1 John 5:2,3).

This is so because, if we LOVE God and KEEP His Commandments (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for us daily in this World, we will NOT consciously do things that will DECEIVE and DESTROY others. True!

The Bible reveals to us thus:

We love Him, because He FIRST loved us. If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATES his brother, he is a LIAR: for he that loves NOT his brother whom he has seen, HOW can he LOVE God whom he has NOT seen? And this commandment have we from Him, that he who LOVES God LOVE his brother also. (1 John 4:19-21).

Therefore, you should focus on obeying the FIRST greatest commandment, that is, LOVING God and KEEPING His COMMANDMENTS (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World first, then you will automatically be LOVING others on Earth before the sight of God in Heaven. True!

This is why Apostle Paul counselled us thus:

Let the WORD of CHRIST dwells 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).

When all you think, speak and do are in the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ), you will be thinking, speaking and doing things that edifies and encourages others to God, not discouraging them from God. True!

Do you say you LOVE God?

So, why are you not KEEPING His COMMANDMENTS (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World? Why?

Do you say you LOVE others?

So, why are you not LOVING and KEEPING God's COMMANDMENTS (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World? Why?

Think about it and do something about it now, because there is NO other way in Christ for loving God and loving others in this World than KEEPING God's COMMANDMENTS (Word, Ways and Will) in Christ for you in this World. True!

Finally, the Bible reveals to us thus:

Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of GOD; and every one that LOVES is born of God, and KNOWS God. He that loves NOT knows NOT God; for GOD is LOVE. (1 John 4:7,8).

So, Jesus Christ said to us thus:

Therefore ALL things WHATSOEVER you would that men should DO to YOU, DO you even so to THEM: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12).

Fall in LOVE genuinely with God first, then He will help you with your LOVE LIFE with others. True!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

We love Him, because He FIRST loved us. If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATES his brother, he is a LIAR: for he that loves NOT his brother whom he has seen, HOW can he LOVE God whom he has NOT seen? And this commandment have we from Him, That he who LOVES God LOVE his brother also. (1 John 4:19-21; 1 Corinthians 13).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHICH KIND OF CHRISTIANITY ARE YOU PRACTICING?

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Which KIND of CHRISTIANITY are you PRACTICING?

There are two kind of Christianity practices I have observed genuinely born again Christians are currently practicing in this World. Theses are:

1. Christianity practice by human WORK.

That is, Christianity practice with results, but achieved by thinking, speaking and living based on SIGHT and SENTIMENT. So sad, so bad!

The Bible counsels us New Testament (Covenant) believers thus:

For we WALK by faith, not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7).

This kind of Christianity practice though with results pleases man's lust and pride, but displeases God completely. (1 John 2:15-17; James 4:1-10).

2. Christianity practice by divine WORK.

That is, Christianity practice with results, but achieved by thinking, speaking and living based on FAITH.

The Bible counsels us New Testament (Covenant) believers 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; 2 Corinthians 4:13).

This kind of Christianity practice pleases God, but displeases man's lust and pride.

Now, for your information, the Bible reveals to us that to ALL labour (work) under the Heaven, there is profit. However, it is only profit from FAITH driven labour (work) that pleases God, not SIGHT driven labour (work). True! (Proverbs 14:23; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Hebrews 11).

Profit or result from FAITH (hearing, believing and obeying God) driven labour (work) in this World is good SUCCESS in the sight and side of God in Heaven. This is because, His Will is being done on Earth as it is in Heaven. True! (Matthew 6:9,10).

That is why God instructed Joshua thus:

This book of the law shall not depart out of your MOUTH; but you shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that you may observe to DO according to all that is written therein: for then you shall MAKE you way prosperous, and then you shall have good SUCCESS. (Joshua 1:8).

Jesus Christ taught us to PRAY thus:

After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which art in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your KINGDOM (presence and power of the Holy Spirit of Christ) come. Your WILL be done in Earth, as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:9,10; 1 John 5:14,15).

Jesus Christ, our role model for thinking, speaking and living to please God on Earth 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; 1 John 4:17; John 17:1-5; Philippians 3:13,14; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

And the Bible reveals to us that as HE is, so are WE in this World. True! (1 John 4:17).

Now, know and note that genuine (God-driven) FAITH comes by HEARING and hearing the Word of God. Therefore, the Bible reveals to us New Testament (Covenant) believers thus:

For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. They are the ones truly thinking, speaking and living not by the Law, buy by GRACE (by the support and supply of the Holy Spirit of Christ) in this World. True! (Romans 8:14; Galatians 5:18; Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13,19).

Do you want to truly enter and enjoy divine GRACE in Christ in this challenging World?

Then, learn to personally, humbly and consciously think, speak and live by FAITH. That is,

1. Learn to personally, humbly and consciously HEAR the Voice of God par time through the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. (Romans 10:17; John 10:1-10).

2. Learn to personally, humbly and consciously BELIEVE and SPEAK the Word of God par time through the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. (2 Corinthians 4:13 Joshua 1:8; Mark 11:34).

3. Learn to personally, humbly and consciously OBEY the Way and DO the Will of God through the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. (Romans 12:1,2; James 1: 22-25; Isaiah :1:19,20; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14).

This is because truly GRACE is the ATTITUTES and ACTIVITIES of the Holy Spirit of Christ working in and through the life of a genuine believer in Christ in this World, who is thinking, speaking and living by FAITH (hearing, believing, obeying and the Voice, Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ respectively) in this World.

Apostle Paul confirmed this to us thus:

But as it is written, EYE 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 hath 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. (1 Corinthians 2:9-12; Philippians 1:19; Philippians 4:13,19)

Therefore, he (Apostle Paul) revealed to us New Testament (Covenant) believers that our life in Christ in this World is from FAITH to FAITH thus:

For I am not ashamed of e GOSPEL of CHRIST: for it is the POWER of GOD unto salvation to every one that BELIEVE; 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 (justified in Christ) shall live by FAITH. (Romans 1:16,17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

That is, your life and mine in Christ in this World daily is best lived FROM hearing the Voice, believing the Word, obeying the Ways and doing  the Will of God in Christ TO hearing the Voice, believing the Word, obeying the Ways and doing the Will of God in Christ in this World.

Truth to be told, only the WALK and WORK of FAITH (hearing the Voice, believing the Word, obeying the Way and doing the Will of God in Christ par time) has both earthly and eternal values in this World. True! (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).

Take note, take heed!

Is your Walk and Work with God in Christ in this World product of FAITH or of SIGHT?

Are your profit, result and success in Christ in this World product of FAITH or of SIGHT and human SENTIMENT?

Is your Walk, Work, profit, result and SUCCESS as one in Christ in this World products of hearing the Voice, believing the Word, obeying the Ways and doing the Will of God in Christ in this World?

Think about it and do something about it now because you will be shortchanging yourself from GOD'S REST and BEST for you that only come to manifestation in Christ in this World by FAITH and never by SIGHT and human SENTIMENT. True!

Now, remember the Bible counsels us thus:

Except the LORD build the house, they LABOUR in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. It is VAIN for you to RISE up early, to SIT up late, to EAT the bread of sorrows: for so He HIVES His beloved sleep. (Psalm 127:1,2; Hebrews 3:4).

Finally, that you and I in Christ in this World should LABOUR not to be RICH, but cease from our own wisdom or the wisdom of the World's principles, ways and manners of getting rich. This is because we of the NEW Testament (Covenant) are to be FAVOUR to be RICH as we personally, humbly and consciously live by FAITH (hearing the Voice, believing the Word, obeying the Ways and doing the Will of God), not by SIGHT. True! (Proverbs 23:4; Matthew 6:25-34; 1 Corinthians 3:16-23; Romans 12:1,2; 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; Colossians 2:8-10; Hebrews 11)

Take note, take heed!

Please, read Romans 4 and Hebrews 11.

Today's Focus from Scripture:

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; 2LA Corinthians 4:13).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: REVIEW YOUR KNOWLEDGE SOURCES TO RELEASE YOUR SELF AND SUCCESSES IN CHRIST IN THIS WORLD!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Review your KNOWLEDGE SOURCES and unlearn, relearn, realign and release your SELF and SUCCESSES in Christ in this World!

Truth to be told:

1. You are the result of the KNOWLEDGE of TRUTHS and/or LIES, you have LEARNT over the years. True!

2. You are the result of the KNOWLEDGE of TRUTHS and/or LIES, you have RECEIVED over the years. True!

3. You are the result of the KNOWLEDGE of TRUTHS and/or LIES, you have HEARD over the years. True!

4. You are the result of the KNOWLEDGE of TRUTHS and/or LIES, you have SEEN over the years. True!

If you are feeling deceived, depressed and disappointed with your life, review the source and soundness of your KNOWLEDGE, whether it is the TRUTH or LIE.

The Bible counselled us thus:

Prove ALL things; HOLD fast that which is GOOD. (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

Likewise, Apostle John counselled us thus:

Beloved, believe NOT every spirit, but TRY the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  Hereby KNOW you the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that JESUS CHRIST is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesses NOT that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is NOT of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the World. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because GREATER is He that is IN you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:1-4).

Also, Apostle Paul therefore counselled us 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 you 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).

The Bible reveals God's displeasure to lack of KNOWLEDGE in us thou:

My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because you hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that thou shall be no priest to me: seeing you hast forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. (Hosea 4:6).

Therefore, be courageous enough to review your KNOWLEDGE SOURCES and:

1. UNLEARN where necessary. That is, where you have stray away from the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World.

2. RELEARN where necessary. That is, where you have stray away from the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World.

3. REALIGN your life and affairs in Christ where necessary. That is, where you have stray away from the Word, Ways and Will of God in Christ for you in this World to RELEASE your self from bondage and successes in Christ to manifestations in this World!

Jesus Christ revealed to us a FREEDOM secret in God in this World thus:

And you shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. Thomas said unto Him, Lord, we know not whither you goes; and how can we know the way? Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and TRUTH came by JESUS CHRIST. (John 8:32,36; John 14:5,6; John 1:17).

The Bible reveals to us a SUCCESS secret in God in World thus:

This book of the LAW shall not depart out of your MOUTH; but thou shall MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou 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. (Joshua 1:8).

Don't be deceived,

1. Only in God (in Christ) can you have safe FREEDOM. Freedom that are a products of God's Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you par time in this World. Freedom free from fear and sooner or later consequences. True! (John 8:32,36).

2. Only in God (in Christ) good SUCCESSES. Success that are a products of God's Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you par time in this World. Successes free from fear and sooner or later consequences. True! (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14).

3. Only in God (in Christ) can His BLESSING makes you RICH without SORROW. Riches that are a products of God's Word, Ways and Will in Christ for you par time in this World. Riches free from fear and sooner or later consequences. True! (Proverbs 10:22).

The Bible counsels us thus:

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 you are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (1 Corinthians 3:18-23; Colossians 2:8-10).

Think about it and do something about it now, because living on the Earth is not about you and I making it our own way or the by the way of the World, but God making it through us in Christ in this World. True!

The Bible reveals to us 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 (freedom and success in Christ with the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World from Earth to Heaven) with fear and trembling. For it is GOD which works in you both to WILL and to DO of His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:12,13).

The wisest man and King who lived on Earth before Jesus Christ physically walked on Earth, King Solomon observed and said thus:

Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: FEAR God, and KEEP His Commandments: for this is the whole DUTY of man. For God shall bring EVERY work into JUDGMENT, with every secret thing, whether it be GOOD, or whether it be EVIL. (Ecclesiastes 12:13,14; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15).

Take note, take heed!

It is time to review your KNOWLEDGE SOURCES and unlearn, relearn, realign and release your SELF and SUCCESSES in Christ in this World! (Ephesians 5:15-18).

You cannot WALK and WORK with God in Christ in this World except your knowledge, understanding and wisdom aligns with His. So true! (Amos 3:3; Psalm 19:7-14; Romans 12:1,2).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

Prove ALL things; HOLD fast that which is GOOD. (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

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.

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD: THE NEED FOR YOU TO BE TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT PERSONALLY!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: The NEED for YOU to be TAUGHT by the HOLY SPIRIT personally!

Going by the daily happenings in our World today, no doubt, we are in the last days of the end time activities as revealed by the Bible. True!

We can see that:

1. There are today so much EXCELLENCE of SPEECH (wisdom) of men being PREACHED in the Body of Christ as the WORD of God. True!

Take note, take heed!

Apostle Paul honestly said to us 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).

2. There are today so much DOCTRINES of DEVILS being PRACTICED in the Body of Christ as the WAYS of God. True!

Take note, take heed!

Apostle Paul again honestly revealed to us thus:

Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall DEPART from the faith, GIVING heed to seducing spirits, and DOCTRINES of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God has created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. (1 Timothy 4:1-5).

3. There are today so much MAGICS of DEVILS being PERFORMED in the Body of Christ as the WORKS (Miracles) of God. True!

Take note, take heed!

Apostle John revealed to us thus:

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from Heaven on the Earth in the sight of men. And DECEIVES them that dwell on the Earth by the means of those MIRACLES which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the Earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. (Revelation 13:11-14; Matthew 7:13-29).

Know and note that anything NOT inspired by the HOLY SPIRIT in Christ is NOT of God the Father. True!

The Bible reveals to us 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; Job 32:8).

Apostle Peter said it this way thus:

We have also a more SURE Word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that NO prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came NOT in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost. (2 Peter 1:19-21; Job 32:8).

Therefore, know and note that only the HOLY SPIRIT tutored and trained (oriented) MINDSET with the WORD of GOD can be sensitive enough to know the WAYS and WILL of GOD, to produces divine expected results in Christ par time par situation in this World. True!

The understated scriptures reveals this to us 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 shew it unto you. All things that the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and you shall not see me: and again, a little while, and you shall see me, because I go to the Father. (John 16:13-16).

Therefore, Apostle John revealed to us thus:

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) 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 of Christ) 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).

And the truth to be told, the Bible reveals to us 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; but to be SPIRITUALLY minded 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. (Romans 8:5-8).

You are CARNALLY minded before God in this World, when you are mentally driven by the principles, traditions, ways and manners of the World instead of that of God. True! (Colossians 2:8-10; Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17).

You are SPIRITUALLY minded before God in this World, when you are mentally driven by the principles, traditions, ways and manners of God instead of that of World. True! (Philippians 4:8,9; Psalm 1:1-3; Psalm 19:7-14; Colossians 3:1-10).

That is why Apostle Paul appealed to us 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).

According to the above scriptural reference, you will only be able PROVE amongst others, what is the good, acceptable and perfect WILL of God for you par time par situation, when you have RENEWED your MIND with the WORD of God with the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. True!

Now, if not for any thing, you need to be taught by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you personally because the Bible reveals to us thus:

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 teaches; 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 judges ALL things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But WE have the MIND of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

Take note, take heed, because it only when God by His Spirit guides you, He provides for you in Christ in this World. This is because God does not fund plans, purposes, programmes and projects that are not out of His intentions in Christ for us par time in this World. True!

Today's Focus from Scripture:

But the ANOINTING (Holy Spirit of Christ) 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 of Christ) 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).

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.
