THE REDEEMER HAS COME

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! As I was just reading the story of the "Good Samaritan " in  Luke 10vs 30-35, the Holy Spirit dropped something in my spirit to share. This is a common passage of scripture, where Jesus was teaching about relationships. The message I want to share is entitled "The Redeemer Has Come!"

 

  Jesus said a man fell upon robbers who beat him and left him for dead. Man is made of spirit and flesh. When sin came in, it left us spiritually dead, so the other half side of the man was dead. If this man had  failed to get attention on time, the other half would have eventually died as well.

If the Spirit is dead, your flesh doesn't last, it also dies.                                       

 

While this man was in this condition, there came a priest who passed by on the other side. Later on there came again a Levite who also passed by on the other side. These two were going to church, but had no time for a stranger and desperate person.

 

 However, after the two men of God had both passed, there came a Samaritan who didn't  pass on the other side.
 He came to him and bandaged the wounded man's wounds and poured oil and wine on him. 

 

The priest when he came he had no solution for the wounds and  state of the wounded man. The priest represents a church. No church can pull you out of sin. That's the reason why some commit adultery, fornicate, lie, steal and do all sorts of things and still go to church every Sunday.

 

 Some of us have positions in church, we sit in front chairs and  in sin we command front positions. Church is not the answer to a sinner. It passes on the other side. That is a priest - a person of law. Law has no compassion and love.

 

 Then came a Levite who also did the same as the priest. A Levite represents a pastor. Again the pastor is not  an answer to the sinner. We all sin, but we have our pastors who pray for us, yet we live in sin. Having a pastor or Church doesn't guarantee one peace of the presence of God. We all need Jesus to survive storms of life.

After the priest and the  Levite had gone past, there came one who belonged to another country, a good Samaritan. He disembarked from his horse/ mule and attended to the wounds of the wounded man. The man was not empty handed, he had oil, which represents the Holy Spirit and wine, which is the  word of God (Matthew 4vs4).The man had money as well, which  is the provision from God. Ecclesiastes 10:19 says, " .........money answereth all things."

 

 A spiritually dead person, before anything, needs the word of God and the Holy Spirit. Don't ever make a mistake of establishing your relationship with the church and pastor, before receiving Jesus first.

 

The Bible says, when he saw him he had compassion. When Jesus saw us wounded by the devil and left for dead, he had compassion and left his kingdom to attend to our wounds. When he was attending to the man he identified with him and put him on his own mule/ horse. Jesus  Christ didn't only take us out of sin, he also put us in His kingdom.      That is on his own mule. Remember, King David put Solomon in his  own rule.

 

 It is only the word of God that raises a dead man. That is wine. ( Psalm 107vs20, Acts 3vs 5-7).            That is the reason Jesus in His first miracle, turned water into wine. If a dead man receives wine he resurrects. And if he resurrects and gets oil , he shines.

 He was then taken to an Inn, that is now the church.  So its Jesus first, then church later. We have many people that are in Church without Jesus. This is why there is no increase and growth in the body of Christ.

 A church attends to the people who are brought by Jesus. In Acts 2vs41-44 the Bible says, they continued together breaking bread and fellowshipping and the Lord added many to the church. ( Acts 2vs46-47).  Pastors can only shepherd and look after people who are saved by Jesus Christ.

 The Samaritan even paid two denari to the Inn keeper. So let me preach the gospel of Jesus, I have two denari from the Lord. Wine, oil, the Samaritan's mule and the denari and then the Inn, the devil has no chance, you shall live again.

 Your marriage is being revived and restored again.
Your business is coming up again.
 You will make it in this land of the living, before you go to heaven or depart mother earth. ( Psalm 27vs13-14).
Your health will be restored again.  ( Joel 2vs25-27)                   
Your dignity shall be restored again.                 
Your work is coming up again.                           
Your relationship is being restored again.          
You are now riding upon the Samaritan's mule, no - one shall stop you.

You have been marred and scarred all over, but now the wounds have been healed and cleansed by Jesus's precious blood. ( 1John 1vs7).       
Broken hearted people's spirits have healed  and comforted  by the Redeemer. ( Jesus the good Samaritan).    ( Psalm 34vs17-19).
                     
 A Redeemer has come, one who does not choose your colour, education, tribe, race and status, but loves and cares for us all.
When Jesus comes in your life, things change and there will be a turn around in your life.

 Come as you are into the Inn ( church).
 Jesus is waiting is to attend to you all the time ( MATTHEW 11vs28-30).
In whatever condition you are in, he accepts and cares for you as you are.( Isaiah 1:18).
Cast all your cares upon Him, He will sustain and take care of you ( ! Peter 5vs7, Psalm 55vs22).
                      
Be restored, comforted and encouraged in the name of Jesus.              

 
May God richly bless you all!

FORGIVENESS

Greetings in the name of Jesus. In introducing the above subject of forgiveness, I want to mention that because of many people who are offended and hurt , due to different offenses in life, some people are failing to forgive and forget. Forgiveness is very crucial and important in our spiritual journey. Unforgiveness is usually triggered by an offense which causes anger and bitterness.

The Bible says, " Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wraths neither give place to the devil. ( Ephesians 4vs26-27).

It is necessary that we break the cycle of offense, which causes unforgiveness and bitterness.
Many marriages, homes, families and churches have been divided because of offense. Sadly, this cycle continues because the offended person rarely realizes that they are the problem.
Unforgiveness is often triggered by an offense, anger and bitterness, leading many people to have scars in their hearts and fail to forgive and forget.

We should avoid corrupt communication which provokes anger, and whatever comes out of our mouths must be edifying and building one another. ( Ephesians 4vs29).
Let us not grieve the Holy Spirit by our corrupt communication and anger ( Ephesians 30).
" Let all bitterness and wrath and anger, and clamour and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice. and be kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you" ( Ephesians 4vs31-32).

Jesus said in Matthew 18vs7, that offenses will come. The issue is not whether  or not offenses will come, but how we handle them. To hold onto an offense brings unforgiveness, pain division and destruction. Releasing the offense and " letting it go" will bring peace and unity. God's plan for the believer is to live offense -free.

We need to be liberated from the fear of hurt and allow ourselves to enjoy the blessings of God.   Learn how you can be released from the cycle of offense. Try to accept rebuke, correction and advice, in order to develop the fruits of the spirit, that will enable you to forgive yourself first and other people. ( 2 Timothy 3vs 16, Galatians 5vs22-23).

To understand how to deal with the spirit of offense and break the cycle of offense you must know:
> How to deal with offense people.

>Offense keeps us from fulfilling God's plan in our lives.

>Offense carries serious repercussions that affect every aspect of our lives.

>Reasons why we get offended.

>How to release offense.

>How to keep from being offended.

It is important to know that offended people are everywhere - they are not only in the world, they are also in the church. No matter where you go in life, you can meet someone who is upset and offended.
Because offense is such a widespread problem, Satan uses it as a tool to detour or derail believers from what God has called them to do. Many people have destroyed their families, relationships, plans and visions because of unforgiveness that was caused by offense and anger.

The Greek word used for offense in the New Testament is "Skandalon" which can be translated "bait stick".
Offense is Satan's bait stick that allows him to destroy your life.
As long as you are determined to the offense, your freedom will escape you. While you desperately cling to the bait, the devil effortlessly moves in with death and destruction.

The devil will instil fear and hurt in you, bitterness which leads to stress, fatigue, high blood pressure, hypertension and sugar diabetes. This is the bait that is destroying many people.

As I continue with the subject of forgiveness, I want to define what forgiveness is about?

What is the definition for forgiveness?

Answer:-

The definition of forgiveness could be -giving up my right to hurt you, for hurting me. It is impossible to live on this earth planet without getting hurt, offended, misunderstood, lied to, and rejected.

Learning how to respond properly is one of the basics of the Christian life. The word forgive means to wipe the state clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. ( Colossians 2vs13-14).

When we wrong someone, we seek his or her forgiveness in order for the relationship to be restored.
It is important to remember that forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. Instead, it is an act of love, mercy, and grace. If you love someone you will forgive and show mercy and compassion towards one another. ( 1 John 4vs7-18).

How we act towards that person may change. It doesn't mean we will put ourselves back into a harmful situation or that we suddenly accept or approve of the person's continued wrong behaviour. It simply means we release them from the wrong they committed against us.

We forgive them because God forgave us (Ephesians 4vs31-32, Romans 5vs8). What does God say about forgiveness?
The Bible gives much instruction when it comes  to forgiveness,
We forgive because we have been forgiven by God ( Isaiah 43vs25, Ephesians 4vs32). We forgive in obedience to God (Matthew 6vs14-15, Romans 12vs14-18).

We forgive others to gain control of our lives from hurt emotions ( Genesis 4vs 1-8, Genesis 45vs1-8). If you haven't forgiven you do not have full control of your life. The person who offended you will control your life, peace, joy and freedom. We forgive so that we won't become bitter and defile those around us ( Hebrews 12vs 14-15).

What if I feel like forgiving others?

There are times we do not feel like forgiving those who have wronged us. It is easier to act our way into feeling than to feel our way into acting. Having a nature of not forgiving others brings about bitterness and bitterness has been linked to stress -related illnesses by some medical researchers. Some of the diseases caused by unforgiveness are high blood pressure and hypertension, stress and depression, as I mentioned earlier on.

Remember, depression are thinking thoughts that can weigh you out and destroy your health and ego. By forgiving others, we free ourselves spiritually and emotionally.

Forgiveness is an act of our own personal will in obedience and submission, to God's will trusting God to bring emotional healing. ( Proverbs 22:4, Hebrews 4vs16).

How can I help those struggling with forgiveness?

People who have experienced abuse, trauma or loss need time to sort things out and let God bring them to the place of forgiveness in His time. God's timing is always the right time for each individual.
The act of forgiving others is between us and God. The only time we need to forgive a person face to face is at the moment we are asked by that person to forgive them for hurt they have caused.( Matthew 18vs25-35; Psalm 43vs25).

There are things we can do to help those struggling with forgiveness of others. We can support them with encouraging words and listening to them. Taking our time and being gentle with them will allow them to progress through the steps of forgiveness the way God wants them to proceed.
The devil wants to steal your joy and peace, he wants to destroy your vision and future plans, he wants to kill your opportunities, and kill all your hope and purpose for life. ( John 10vs10).

Remember, Satan has no new strategies - he uses the same old tactics to prevent Christians from producing fruit. And because offense prevents God from moving freely in your life, it has become one of Satan's most effective strategies. Whether you realize it or not, hurt and offense are designed specifically to prevent the Holy Spirit from bringing God's blessing in your life ( 2 Corinthians 2vs 11-18, Isaiah 59vs 1-4, 19.

Offense stops the blessing of God. Jesus expressed the benefit of remaining unaffected by offense in order to receive our breakthrough and worship the Lord freely. ( Matthew 11vs4-6).

Offense comes with a purpose and a number of objectives. The devil will bring offense in order to destroy you, your anointing, your marriage, your family, your finances, and your friendships.
Another reason offense comes is to disrupt your communion with God.

Mark 11vs25 says, " And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses".

This verse clearly reveals the connection between forgiving others and being forgiven by
God. Offense will not only produce a barrier between you and God which hinders your prayer life, it will keep you in a constant state of being upset towards the person who has offended you.

Many times, the person with whom you are angry doesn't even realize that they have done something to hurt you. So while you are being eaten up with hurt and unforgiveness, they remain care-free. However, the issue is not whether the hurt was intentional or not, what matters instead is that unforgiveness and offense are not allowed to take root in your life.

The third reason the devil brings offense into your life is to steal the word of God that has been sown in your heart. ( Mark 4vs14-17). After the word of God has been sown in your heart, the devil will immediately bring trials, tribulations, and persecution for one purpose, to steal the word of God before it takes root.

The Greek word "Skandalizo" is not only translated "offend," but also "stumble". That means when someone is offended, there is a stumbling block in their path, prohibiting any advancement.
Although these people receive the word with gladness, they have no root in themselves, (Mark 6vs2-5, Matthew 7vs11).

Unforgiveness is one of the many reasons for offense,  - such as being oversensitive - People who are overly sensitive are easily offended-making everyone nearly feel like they must walk on egg shells, there is also unrealistic expectations -Another person who is easily offended is one with a root of bitterness - falling victim to unrealistic or unfulfilled expectations.

Rebellion -Someone with a spirit of rebellion , who refuses to submit to any form of biblical correction or authority, can succumb to offense. There is also the critical spirit - still, others harbour a critical spirit -finding fault with everyone and everything.

Most people who refuse to forgive or even release the offense, have so much pride that they don't truthfully see themselves.
We need to keep our hearts clean from offense, so that we can serve the Lord freely and joyfully.
( Proverbs 4vs23, Jeremiah 17vs9-10, Psalm 51vs10-17).

A person who keeps an offense in their heart is in prison and lives in a cage because of unforgiveness. Such a person has no freedom and peace.

Let us forgive and forget, as the Lord forgave us and does not remember our past ( Colossians 2vs12-14, Isaiah 43vs25).

In conclusion, I pray that the Holy Spirit, may help us to release everything from our hearts, which may be hindering our prayer life right now, in the name of Jesus - Amen!


May God richly bless you all !!

GOD'S WORD IS TRANSFORMATIVE

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! I am delighted to share the message entitled:" God's Word is Transformative." The word of God is the nutrition and vitamin for our spiritual sustenance and survival. The word of God transforms the thinking and behaviour of all living beings.

It has the power to change the way we think, talk, behave, walk and relate with other people.

What is to transform?
To transform is:-
>To change in form, appearance, or structure, metamorphose.
>To change in condition, nature, or character, convert - like Saul who later changed to Paul, is a good example of a convert who changed
 in character and behaviour. ( Acts 9vs1-10).

>To increase or decrease (voltage and current characteristics) as by means of a transformer.
.>To change the form of (a figure, expression etc. ) without in general changing the value.
>To change into another form of energy.
>To undergo a change in form, appearance, or character, become transformed.

What is transformation?

Transformation is:-
>The act or process of transforming.
>The state of being transformed.
>The change in form, appearance, nature, or character.

Therefore, it means that when we talk of transformation or metamorphosis, is a complete change of form, structure or substance or it can also refer to any total change in appearance, character or behaviour, a person , thing or chemical process.

The Bible in Acts 11vs25-26, says Then Barnabas went on to Tarsus to look for Saul. When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people. ( It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians)." 
( Transformation took place as believers were given a new name).

So people were transformed by the preaching of the word of God and as a result they repented, believed and were born again as new creatures. ( 2 Corinthians 5vs17). The Bible says when we are in Christ we become new creation and all things of the past are passed ad we are transformed to become Christians. ( New Life, New Beginning).

Remember, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. ( Romans 10vs17).
However, it is pertinent to mention that although the word of God is transformative, the process of transformation takes place within a period of time, as people continue to feed on the word of God.

Salvation is a one time experience, but spiritual life is a life time experience.
The word of God if obeyed can bring healing to our bodies. ( Proverbs 4vs23). The word of God can bring deliverance and restoration.( Luke 4vs18vs19, Matthew 4vs23-24).
When the word of God is preached, people hear the word, understand it, accept it and then act on the word as a response to its effectiveness to our lives being transformed and changed.

Jesus in John 15vs 5-7, says " Yes, I am the vine, you are the branches, those who remain in me and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing". Jesus Christ is the word, truth and he is the bread of life, that transforms our lives ( John 6vs35).
Be careful on what you feed your spirit with.

A transformed Christian bears fruits and some of the fruits are love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. However, as the word penetrates our minds and hearts as well as our whole bodies we are able to subject the desires of our flesh, under the power of the Holy Spirit. ( Galatians 5vs16-23).

In Romans 12vs2, the Bible says, "Don't copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you , which is good and pleasing and perfect," ( NLT).

Brethren, there are systems and patterns of this world which destroy God's people, if they are not transformed by the word of God. People of the world have certain behaviour patterns and habits as well as fashions which some Christians are also caught in or trapped by the so called fashion and end up behaving as people of the circular world. The kind of language, behaviour, hair styles and dressing and entertainments, do not befit Christians who claim to be born again. ( Acts 26vs20).

Jesus said although we are in the world we are not of the world as he is not of this world and therefore our character and behaviour must imitate Christ who is the visible image of the invisible God. ( Philippians 2vs5-11). We should  have the mind of Christ ( 1 Corinthians 11vs1).

It is important to note that our minds are a battlefield and we have to renew our minds with the word of God. The Bible says, " We use God's mighty weapon not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that prevents people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. And after you have become fully obedient, we will push everyone who remains obedient. ( 2 Corinthians 10vs4-6).

The mind is a battlefield of arguments and strongholds, that prevent or fight against God's word that is meant to transform us from the pattern and systems of this world.

We must continue to feed our spirits and minds with the word  of God. ( Joshua 1vs8, Colossians 3vs16, Matthew 12vs34-37).
The Bible says, " For the word  of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires."( Hebrews 4vs12 NLT).

Jesus said, " the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." ( John6vs6vs63 NLT). This means that if the word is spirit, it has the ability to penetrate anywhere inside our bodies and deal with any part of our bodies, bringing transformation to our being. If the body needs healing, deliverance, peace, comfort, spiritual growth and change of behaviour and character the word of God is transformative and can create in us a new person with new character and behaviour.

When we talk of a two-edged sword cutting between soul and spirit, we are referring to the word delivering  your mind and your unborn again spirit, rebellious spirit, by the word. All demonic influences and powers of darkness affecting your lives are totally removed and destroyed.

You must desire and treasure the word of God all the time. Job said, "I have not departed from his commands, but have treasured his words more than daily food' ( Job 23vs12,NLT). It means for the word to totally transform you it must become your daily food. ( Matthew 4vs4). You can as a transformed and totally delivered Christian resist the influence of Satan, if you are well equipped with the word. Desire more of the word  than food!

Psalm 42vs1-2 says, " As a dear longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God". I thirst  for God, God the living God. When can I go and stand before him? ( NLT)

The word of God transforms you into becoming a Christian by behaviour and character. The word of God can transform your family, society, and country at large. ( 2 Chronicles 7:14). The word of God can heal our land and economy.

Your prayer today should be that you must ask God to give you the power to desire more of his word, so that your behaviour and faith can be transformed to a true Christian.

Jesus said God is spirit and those who desire to worship him, must worship in spirit and in truth". ( John 4vs 23-24).

I sense in the spirit right now as I write this message, that there are people who sleep when they are reading the Bible, but when you give the same people a novel they are able to read and finish it without falling asleep. Such people need deliverance and the Holy Spirit to fill them so that they can be transformed and revived.( John 14vs26, John 15vs26, John 16vs13).

In conclusion, I want to say that when you begin to love the Lord with all that is within you, it will be a sign of total rejuvenation, revitalization and re-invigoration and restoration to a true full Christian. ( Mark 12vs30, Psalm 103vs1-6).

Your mind, ears, eyes, tongue, hands, and all other organs within you, need to be totally delivered and transformed ( Galatians 5vs16, Romans 8vs5-11, Colossians 4vs2, Colossians 3vs

May the Lord give you a new heart and put in a new spirit in you. Let the Holy Spirit through the power of God's word take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. May the Lord also put his spirit in you, so that you will follow his decrees and be careful to obey his word, ( Ezekiel 36vs25-27).

Let me end by saying, from today onwards, your focus and priority, must be to seek God's Kingdom and his righteousness and all other things will be given unto you, when you are transformed by his word. ( Matthew 6vs33).

Remember, God's word is transformative!

May God richly bless you.

UNGODLY ANGER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHALOM! I just want to share a message entitled : "UNGODLY ANGER." Anger is an emotion often characterized by feelings of great displeasure, indignation, hostility, wrath, and vengeance.

 

Many times anger is how we express our dissatisfaction with life. It is the fruit of rotten roots, and it steals our joy.  " Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry for anger resteth  in the bosom of fools." ( Ecclesiastes 7:9). The Bible also says, " Let all bitterness, and wrath,  and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice." ( Ephesians 4:31). 

 

 Some roots that lead to anger include insecurity, fear of confrontation, and a feeling of being controlled by a job or other people and their problems.

 

One of the primary roots of anger often sterms from the family. Angry people come from angry families, because they learn from their role models and perpetuate the same behavior in their own lives, eventually passing it on to their children.

 

 If you have anger in your heart or your home, don't feel condemned. In fact, God has equipped us with the feeling and emotion of anger for a reason.

 

 When kept in balance, the emotion of anger serves a good purpose. If we were not able to become angry, we would never know when someone was mistreating us. That is the purpose of anger.

 

 Like pain, it is there to warn us that something is not right.  Our job is not so much to try to get rid of anger, but to learn how to handle it. The Word teaches us the proper way to deal with this emotion: " When angry, do not sin, do not ever let your wrath ( your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down" (Ephesians 4:26).

 

 If you want the great and mighty things God has for you, you must get to the root of your anger and deal with it. God wants to bless you, but anger opens the door for the devil to try to stop  those blessings and keep you from accomplishing the will  of God in your life.

 

 The Bible says, " Don't give the devil a foothold" ( Ephesians 4:27). Anger can be a barrier to our breakthrough.

 

 Anger is a Spirit that must be controlled,  as it may be destructive. Let us strive to control ungodly anger. "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger"( Proverbs15vs1). It is also important to know, how to respond when you are provoked.

 

" He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city" ( Proverbs 16:32). The scripture also says, " Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?" ( Proverbs 27:4).

 

 We must try by all means to control unrepentant anger, because it is dangerous and harmful. Many people regret after a catastrophic act, caused by ungodly anger, as they only realize the wrong doing, when they are already  in jail or hospital.   Stop ungodly anger, and repent!

 

  Stay  blessed and joyful all the time.

Defeating A Defeated Enemy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shalom! I am pleased to share a message titled:  " Defeating a Defeated  Enemy".  It is important that we allow the Heavenly Father to be our Best Friend. It is also important that we read the Word of God, because if we are going to ask for things "according to His will," we need to know what His will is. And if we are going to keep our mind in peace, we need to keep our mind on the Word.

 

The Bible says, " And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." ( 1 John 5vs14-15.

 

 There are many scriptures in the Bible on the subject of peace. Find those scriptures, read them, take them to heart, and think about them throughout the day, and they will give you peace. The Bible says, " Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out  of it are the issues of life."  (Proverbs 4:23).       It is also important that we pray, spending time talking to God on regular basis. Paul in Ephesians 6:18, says, " Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. " 

 

 And if we want to live a truly peaceful life, we must also guard our mind and control our thought life. It is important that we do something about our thoughts. The mind can be a powerful ally or awesome enemy. God has said our mind will stay in perfect peace if we will keep our mind  ( thoughts) on the Lord. The Bible says, " Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee" ( Isaih 26:3).

 

 The enemy is out to get you.  According  to John 10:10, He is out to steal from you, to kill you, and to destroy you. First Peter 5:8 says, " Be sober, be vigilant,  because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

 

 The scripture does not say that Satan is going to devour you. It says he is seeking for someone he may devour. In other words , He is searching for people who will allow him to devour them. What does First Peter 5:7 say? It says, " Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."  We don't need to cast just part of our care on the Lord. This verse says to cast all of it on Him.

Remember,  Satan specializes in worry. He specializes in fear. He also specializes in anxiety, confusion and doubt. Those are his specialities. And he will bring those to your mind if you allow him to do so.

 

 The devil is not a gentleman like the Holy Spirit. If you crack the door open just a little bit, the devil will kick it wide open. And your mind is the bull's eye of Satan's target. That is why the Bible says, we are not to give place to the devil ( Ephesians 4:27). Don't allow him to dominate your thought life.                            

 

 If you allow yourself to think negative thoughts, you will be defeated. If you allow yourself to worry, you will be defeated. If you allow yourself to be in fear, you will be defeated. You cannot think defeat and expect victory. You cannot think sickness and expect health. You cannot think poverty and expect wealth.

 

 Whatever you allow yourself to think on will become what you expect. And that will be exactly what you receive. " As the man thinketh, so is he, ....." ( Proverbs 23:7). You can be held captive, by your mind ( thoughts)   ( 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). I know we live in a negative society. However, let us guard against the " Battlefield of the Mind," by thinking positively all the time. We need to constantly renew our minds with the word of God (Romans 12vs2).

 

Just think about the news you watch daily, it is not "news" unless it is bad. I can also confirm  it as a media practioner myself that, " A scoop" is usually something which is negative or bad. That is what makes "news" and will make an impact and a good " Agenda setting story!" So it is same with negative thoughts or thinking,  it affects one' s life.

 

 The good that happens is no longer considered newsworthy. Even in the Christian world, we are quicker to tell the bad things that have happened rather than the good things

For example you rarely see someone rush up to you at church and say,  " Did you hear about Preacher So-  and -so?  Their marriage is so strong!  They are really great examples to the Body of Christ." No, it is just the opposite that most people are so quick to talk about.

 

 Satan constantly bombards our minds with negative thoughts. He is constantly trying to confuse us and keep us from the peace that we can experience with God.

 

 And Satan will succeed unless we replace the negative thoughts with positive thoughts from God's Word. ( Joshua 1:8, PHILLIPIANS 4:6-7).  

 

    Let  us defeat the defeated enemy, by thinking positively and speaking positively, all the time! ( Proverbs 18:21 ).       "..........
......Let the weak say, I am strong." ( Joel 3:10).  

 

   THINK POSITIVELY AND SPEAK POSITIVELY, TO DEFEAT THE DEVIL! 

 

    May God bless and protect you all the time.

Knowing your God Personally

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus. I am pleased to share a message titled:  " Know your God Personally!  ". It is crucial and important to have a personal relationship with God, than just having the zeal of God. The Bible says, " Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. " ( Romans 10:1-2).

 

 Apostle Paul here, had witnessed a group of God's children who had the zeal of God, whom they did  not know. It is one thing to have the zeal to go to church, sing and praise,  without having the knowledge of the one you will be worshipping or praising. The Bible also says, " My people perish , because of lack of knowledge, .....".......
( Hosea 4:6).

 

 Knowledge is having more valuable  information about the word of God and applying it in our daily  Christian walk, in order to build our faith in God. We have many people,  who are still infants in the things of God, because all they have is the zeal and interest in going to church as well as participating in all church activities, but their faith in God and word knowledge is still  at embryonic stage. 

 

 These are the  same people,  whom Paual in 1 Corinthians 3:1-7, was referring to who were  still spiritual babies. They live in flesh only   and not being led by the Holy spirit. ( Galatians 5:16:16-18). Such people fuel,  and cause divisions in the body of Christ, because of their fleshy desires.

 

 The scripture in 1 Peter 2:1-2, says, " Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: " People with the above weaknesses,  belong to cliques and unrepentant groups,  that discriminate and hate each other (Acts 26:20)

 

 Those that know their God will be strong and do exploits. They are not shaken by jealous and hatred, as well as gossip. ( Daniel 11:32). When you feed your spirit with the right stuff, you grow spiritually and will not be engaged in retrogressive practices and activities, that destroy the body of Christ.

 

 Having a personal relationship with Jesus is the first step and stage of salvation, before spiritual growth and maturity.  (  2 Corinthians 5:17). When you are in Christ you become a new creation and the past will be over. You put on the new garment of salvation, having removed the jacket of darkness and sin of origin in your life. 

 

  In  1 Corinthians 3:1-7, the Christians at CORINTHI,  were  divided and claimed to either  belong to Apollos  or Paul. However, apostle Paul urged the Christians to be united and fellowship together in harmony and peace, so that they could grow and mature in their faith in God. They needed thorough teachings of the word,  in order to eradicate divisions in the church.

 

 This category of Christians,  who display immaturity and  arrogance, need deliverance to cast out different types of demons tormenting their lives ( Ephesians 6:11-13).

 

 Meanwhile, there  were different Christians like those who were at Berea, who searched scriptures, because they desired to know more of the word of God.  "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were  so."  ( Acts 17:11).  We can only grow in knowing God and increase in our faith, if we dwell in His Word daily. "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." ( 2 Timothy 2:15). We have to analyse scriptures and understand the meaning of every word in the Bible.

 

 After Moses had failed to take the children of Israel to the promised land, God anointed and appointed Joshua through Moses,  to take over the relay stick,  for propelling the mission of God. Moses emphasised the need for Joshua to stay connected to God through the word of God. He said, "  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, .............for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and thou shalt have good success." ( Joshua 1:8).

 

 Knowledge of the word of God, gives us boldness and confidence,  to press on in our Christian walk and faith in God. It must also be our desire and prayer that many people should repent and be born again. ( Romans 10:9-10).

 

 Furthermore, let us also wish that many people may  come to the knowledge and  understanding of  him whom they believe and worship,  in truth and in Spirit. ( John 4:24, Hebrews 11:6). Without faith,  it is impossible to please God.

 

 Knowing God is life , but lack of knowledge, is ignorance and spiritual disaster.  We must draw near to God, and develop a personal relationship with Him, through the power of prayer, fasting, reading the word and meditation.  ( James 4:8, Collosians 3:16-17,  Ephesians 6:18, ).

 

 Let us ask the Holy Spirit to help us fight a good fight of faith, and enable us to remember the scriptures as we pray and worship Him.  ( John 14:26, John 16:13, 1 Timothy 6:12).

 

 Finally, let me mention that we need the zeal of God, to be mixed with the word and faith in order to grow spiritually and achieve our purpose for life, as well as reach our destiny in life. 

 

 Remember, "Where there is no vision ,  the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. " ( Proverbs 29:18).  We need the revelation and wisdom, to survive storms of life and grow spirutually, and not just the zeal for God and passion.

 

 DESIRE TO KNOW YOUR GOD PERSONALLY!  

 

              May God richly bless you.

Receive your Healing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SHALOM! I just want to share a message entitled : " Receive Your Healing." The Bible says, " Is there no balm in Gelead, Is there no Physician there? Why then is there no recovery For the health of the daughter of my people?" ( Jeremiah 8:22). " Heal me, O Lord , and I shall be healed; Save me,  and I shall be saved, For you are my praise. " ( Jeremiah 17:14).

 

 Jesus Christ is the healer of all physical and emotional infirmities. Let the Lord do a work in you. If you want physical healing, He wants to heal your body. If you need emotional healing, He wants to heal your heart. It is allright to yield to Him. Pour your heart to Him . Let the pain go in the name of Jesus. Let the past go. Let those hurts and scars and memories all go

 

. Forget about the former things. Focus on the future, for God to do new things in your life. ( ISAIH 43:18-20). Let the Lord do a work in you. God is not in a hurry. He has all the time in the world for you. Don't believe the lie that it is too late for you. You are not late or running behind. You are right where God wants you, and this is your time.

 

 I can sense that you are worried and stressed, because you think things are not moving according to your expectations. Remember God has His own calendar and time of doing things in our lives. (Ecclesiastes  3:1-8, ISAIH 40:31).

 

 In order for you to accomplish what God wants you to do,  you have to be made whole. You have to be healed inside and out. And God wants to do that. Don't worry about what your spouse might think or what your family or friends might think. Your restoration is too important. God has not forgotten you. He wants to heal you and set you free, so that you can be the person He has destined you to be!

 

Maybe you have become so depressed that you have thought of ending your life. Maybe you think it would be better for your family if you just ended it all. If you have  had those thoughts, the Lord wants to deliver you.

 

 He sees your situation and what you have been through. Your life is precious to Him! He wants to heal you and turn your situation around so that you can  live the long, abundant life, on this earth that He has promised you. ( Psalm 91:14-16).

 

 As you trust in the Lord and totally rely upon Him, He is going to see you through the recovery process, no matter how it takes to be healed. And He will see you through and cause you to be strong and to minister God's healing power to those around you.

 

 Are you ready to trust Him? Lift up your faith right now and expect your miracle healing. Just believe and you will receive your healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus.

 

 " Receive Your Healing! "  By the stripes of Jesus you  are healed! ( 1 Peter 2:24). AMEN! 

 

 Stay blessed and Stress free!
