The church of Christ resides in each and
every one of us.
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over
the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church
of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
ACTS 20:28 (KJV)
The True Church
of the living God is in us; in our thoughts, actions, words, plans,
directions, and ambitions. We are the temples of the Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 6:19) The Holy Spirit dwells within us as we
accept the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior when we confess
our sins and our belief in Him. The living church is each and every
one of us moving in God’s Divine Will, Purposes, and Destiny for our
lives and other’s lives. In today’s competitive Christian world, it
seems that everyone is trying to build their own church, their own
fiefdom (kingdom) in which to rule and reign. It looks like the
Tower of Babel society where everyone is building a tower, a kingdom
which is bigger than the next church. Instead of reaching out and
descending down to the suffering masses, living is larger than life
in their world of Solomon, where it is all about them.
Today religion has become competitive and exclusive. We live in
societies of COMPETITIVE CHRISTIANITY where I cannot speak to you or
have dealings with you if you are not a Bishop, Apostle,
Episcopalian, Muslim, Methodist, Catholic, Hebrew, a deacon, an
intercessor or “holier than thou” dressed in white. Christianity
should not be competitive. We do not have to compete to see who is
the most holy, who has the biggest church, who can pray the longest,
who has on the longest dress, who suffers the most during the
longest fasting period, and who has a television ministry which
reaches the whole world, but misses the people who do not have
television.
In America, we have moved from the “in-home” church (Romans 16:5)
as in the days of Jesus, to “Mega” churches which have placed
political power in the hands of a choice few and have stolen it from
the neighborhoods which the power serves. Mega churches have also
placed Christians in one location which is susceptible to an attack
from the enemies of God or man; heaven forbid, that should happen.
Home cell churches helped grow and sustain the ancient church and
they are a TIMELESS MODEL which Christ Jesus left us to follow. Let
us be humble and join together as a church body (in neighborhood
churches) regardless of denominations and differences. We must
prepare, unite, and plan TOGETHER for the storm to come.

LORD JESUS, please let
Your Eyes be open to our prayers, to the supplications of Your
Servants, open Your Ears to the prayers of the People called by
Your name, Christians and hearken to all that which they call
upon You for in the heat of the emotions of their hearts.
Through Jesus, who is the CHRIST, I declare right now for Your
Children. Selah and amen.
The responsibility of the ambassador is not
to change the people to whom he has been sent,

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go
in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
MATTHEW 7:13-14 (KJV)
“I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
JOHN 10:9 (KJV)
I have heard,
that when a person dies, his whole life goes before him as on a
movie screen. Something similar happened to me once, during a time
of praise and worship in the Church. For several seconds I saw what
the man created in God’s image has done for several decades –
computers, television, satellites, jet planes, mobile phones,
internet, lasers, and rockets. I also saw the evil, the drugs,
destructions, aids, mafia, organized crime, and among all this there
was a door open and the Lord Jesus Christ standing and waiting for
people to invite Him to come in:
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if
any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me.” Revelation 3:20 (KJV)
Man can create, he can also destroy, but the Lord is the same
yesterday, today and forever. He cannot become more loving, because
He is LOVE.
We can make ways to live better, but Jesus Christ is THE WAY.
We can better the judicial system, but Jesus Christ is THE
TRUTH.
The medicine can develop much, but only Jesus Christ is THE
LIFE.
2000 years already, the Lord is standing at the door, and is waiting
to enter each heart, that invites Him.

“Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be self-controlled;
set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ
is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil
desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who
called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be
holy, because I am holy.”
1 PETER 1:13–16 (NIV)
Preparing our minds
is an action that we must choose to do. God has given us a free will
and won’t force us to think about Him, or on Godly things. We must
make a decision that when temptation comes along, we are going to
put our minds on God. Jesus told us in John 15 that we cannot
do anything apart from Him. “I am the vine,
you are the branches; he who abides (to continue to be in
a place, reside) in Me and I in him, he
bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” “If
you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you.” The whole idea of God’s
Word abiding in us by putting it into our mind is the whole
groundwork for living a life pleasing to God. Joshua 1:8
shows us that meditating on God’s Word leads to good things for us
“this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you
shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do
according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your
way prosperous, and then you will have success.”
The decisions are ours to make, but even when we choose to live a
life pleasing to God, we can’t do it without the help of the Holy
Spirit. Romans 7:23 says, “I see a different law in the
members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making
me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.” Ephesians 5
warns us to be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as
wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 6 goes on to tell us to “be strong in the Lord and
in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that
you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness,
against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able
to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand
firm.” We are told to put on truth, righteousness, peace, faith
and salvation. These are the pieces of armor God tells us to put on
to keep us strong and pleasing to Him.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.”
EPHESIANS 4:11 (KJV)
INSIDE THE SEED.
Jesus fulfilled and carried the mantle of each five-fold
ministry gift.
Apostle –
“Wherefore, holy
brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle
and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus:” Hebrews 3:1
(KJV)
Prophet –
“And they were
offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without
honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.” Matthew
13:57 (KJV)
Evangelist –
“For the Son of man is
come to save that which was lost.” Matthew 18:11 (KJV)
Pastor –
“I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John
10:11 (KJV)
Teacher –
“And he opened his
mouth, and taught them saying,” Matthew 5:2 (KJV)
LEADERSHIP LINES
God has an apostolic mentor for your life.
Energy is a product of the Holy Spirit-filled life.
The enemy of God, satan is watching to see if his tactics are
working.
Your faith is attracting the attention of God.
What good thing can you taste RIGHT NOW?
Have you asked the right questions about your quest?
Never, never, never give up!
Nobody succeeds alone.
The purpose of breaking is to see God’s
destiny released into our lives;
we are then available for God’s intentions,
leadings, and purposes.
“Jesus answered and said, This voice came
not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgement of this
world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
JOHN 12:30-31(KJV)
The Year for Breaking and
Name Changing. In order that we may continue following
God’s destiny in our lives in this present hour, it is very
important for us to define God’s time and season. This year the
Church is coming into is a year for breaking and name changing. This
is the time and season that the Lord is releasing and towards which
He is leading every Church and ministry in this generation, so we
can reach our destiny successfully.
Often, when the Lord is speaking about breaking, He means also name
changing. When in the Scriptures the Lord was changing a given
person, He also gave him a new name. The change of name meant the
change of the destiny of that person. The Lord wants us to become
partners with Him, so He can teach us how to cooperate with Him and
how to do God’s work.
Even when Jacob wrestled with God all day and night, it resulted in
the breaking of his spirit and the changing of his name from Jacob
to Israel. Jacob told the Angel of the Lord that he would not let go
of him until he received the blessing of the Lord. “And Jacob was
left alone; and there wrestled with him a man until the breaking of
day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched
the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of
joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go for the day
breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel: for
as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and has
prevailed.” Genesis 32:24-28 (KJV)
When we wrestle within ourselves to see a better way, the Spirit of
the Lord shows up and we wrestle with Him to get our way. However,
God always has His way with us and breaks our will to conform to the
His Divine Will, changing our name and nature to make us better than
we ever were before. Submit unto God this day for the Divine
Transformation.

“For as many as are the promises of God,
they all find their Yes (answer) in Him (Christ). For
this reason we also utter the Amen (so be it) to God through
Him (in His Person and by His agency) to the glory of God.”
2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 (Amplified)
God showed me
that I can move in the strength of His promise and have the yes of
His approval on all He has promised. I have found this to be true.
When I say yes to Jesus, I say yes to His revealed will. I say yes
to His promises. Let us learn to say yes to Jesus. When we keep a
firm grip on His promises, He always keeps His Word. Which way are
you moving? Where are you going? Are you moving in the strength of
His promise? When we think about what this means we see that
strength means; permanence, prevailing power, might, strong support,
wealth, force, protection, and toughness of His command, Word,
announcement, instruction, guarantee, message, pledge, covenant, and
prediction.
Before my husband and I left New Zealand in 1998, we signed over
power of attorney to our family to sell our house. Then with only
two bags each, we left our beloved country by faith with eight
hundred dollars, two connections in the USA, and a round-the-world
ticket for one year. We left in the permanence of God’s command,
believing that God was true and faithful to His Word. God was
faithful and within two weeks in Florida we had the 2,000 US dollars
we needed to go to Cuba for three months of ministry.
Prompted by the Holy Spirit, in a house church in Cuba I ‘punched’ a
pain-filled woman in the stomach, moving in the toughness and the
prevailing p-o-w-e-r of His guaranteed Word. The woman vomited
everywhere, and from that moment the severe pain she had left, and
she was totally healed of terminal cancer!
I laid hands on a tiny baby in Cuba. Everyone was very upset as the
baby, just a few days old, had been diagnosed with a genetic
disorder. There was no hope for this baby to grow or develop
normally! A year later, I was in a house and there was a small child
playing, walking, and talking normally! This was the same child,
totally healed because we moved in the wealth and strong support of
God’s command to lay hands on the sick.
When Dayle fasted and prayed for forty days after she was given a
death sentence from cancer, which was spreading throughout her body,
she moved in the force and might of His pledge and covenant. She
traveled to Myanmar on a missions’ trip when others would have
accepted the death sentence and given up. But not Dayle – she went
to Myanmar. There she knelt on the floor, and along with the team,
some leaders prayed over her. Within two days she was totally
healed; not a sign of cancer was in her body. All because she moved
in the strength of God’s promise.
Are you moving in the strength of His promise? Are you keeping a
firm grip on the promises of God? God always keeps His Word.

To see the impossible, you must first
believe the invisible.
“So do not throw away your confidence, it will be richly
rewarded.”
HEBREWS 10:35 (NIV)
IT’S CLICKING TIME.
I would like to encourage the body of Christ to start launching
unto the deep. Firstly, you must believe that our God is a promise
maker therefore He will be a promise keeper. I had this word “click”
in me that this word is an abbreviation. In our days, we are using
an advanced technology. Almost everything is computerized. We all
know that computers are made of many components like CPU, MONITOR,
KEYBOARD and MOUSE. The mouse device controls the cursor on the
screen though it is small but there is nothing you can do without
clicking your mouse. You must first “click” so that you can run your
programs.
The
acronym for the word "click":
C – courage. You must have courage and
find yourself a right place for the future. Numbers 13:30, we
read the story of Caleb. When the children of Israel were
discouraged with the report that was given to them by these Scouts,
but Caleb silenced and encouraged the people by saying, “Let us go
and take control of the land.” Stop listening to the devil, the
waves of evil, the troubles of the times, tribulations, doubts, and
fear, but go and grab what God has prepared for you. He will always
put your meal next to the enemy. Have courage by grabbing David’s
stone and overthrow those Goliaths. “Don't worry about a thing, I
will fight this Philistine.” 1 Samuel 17:32 (Hebrews 10:35)
L – letting go, letting away those
worries as the Bible says, “put all your worries to Him because
He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7
I – insight. You cannot pray
effectively without insight into how to pray as well as insight into
the things of God. Insight has been essential for a clear
understanding of victorious warfare. In your Christian life, you
must learn that to believe the impossible you first see the
invisible.( 2 Kings 6:8-17)
C – commitment. You will never see
results in anything that you do without commitment. Commit
everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and he will help you.
(Psalms 37:5; Proverbs 16:3; Acts 20:19) The Bible says, “and
Solomon, my son, get to know the God of your ancestors. Worship and
serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind.” 1 Chronicles
28:9
K – knowledge. People are dying because
they lack knowledge (Hosea 4:6) It is either the truth or the facts
of life that a person acquires. They acquire it either through
experience or thought. Two types of knowledge:
1. Mental
knowledge attained by thought, by itself, as good as it may be
is inadequate. It is too capable of producing pride. (1
Corinthians 8:1) 2. Ginosko knowledge is inceptive, progressive, and
attained through experience.
In conclusion, I want you
to start to “click.” Nothing is impossible to God.

Many people can give the right answers, but
few have the ability to give honest answers.
“Jesus said, “I came to this world to judge, so that the blind
should see and those who see should become blind.” Some Pharisees
who were there with him heard him say this and asked him, “Surely
you don’t mean that we are blind, too?” Jesus answered, “If you were
blind, then you would not be guilty; but since you claim that you
can see, this means that you are still guilty.””
JOHN 9:39-41 (Good News Bible)
Many times in our lives,
there is confusion because we have lost connection with reality. We
have lost the reality of our essence. We have lost the reality of
where we are and what to do to get to the place where we must be. We
know which things are the right things. We know what the Lord is
expecting from us to want and to do. And only in order that He likes
us (because we want Him to like us), we start speaking “the
right” phrases, and so, we miss being honest and open with Him. We
don’t really tell Him what’s actually in us. (But He knows.)
The Lord wants honesty and openness.
Our new
birth is a result of our being sincere – we have admitted before
Jesus that we are sinners, that there is filthiness in our lives,
and that we need His intervention. He has not asked for our
perfection. He has instead asked for maturity and maturity is the
ability to take into consideration the pluses and the minuses, the
strong and the weak sides, and not being ashamed to seek help, when
you need it.
“You
say, ‘I am rich and well off; I have all I need.’ But you do not
know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and
blind. I advise you, then, to buy gold from me, pure gold, in order
to be rich. Buy also white clothing to dress yourself and cover up
your shameful nakedness. Buy also some ointment to put on your eyes,
so that you may see. I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in
earnest, then, and turn from your sins.” 3:17-19 REVELATION
(Good News Bible)
The way to every deliverance starts from your sincerity before
yourself and before God.

“As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to
former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is
holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;”
1 PETER 1:14-15 (KJV)
There you are.
You or someone you know may be able to relate to this. Have you
noticed anyone who just can’t seem to get along with people? At
work, management may move them to another section or another
department. At church, the person may be moved to another ministry
or a strong suggestion is given for them to try another ministry,
which may be better served by their presence. Or you may be a pastor
or church member who is bouncing from church to church.
You or your friend or the person you know may be grieving over a
lost loved one, suffering from depression, recovering from an
addiction, battling bitterness, in a struggle with weight loss, or
simply on the drug “living life in the wrong lane.” You may be
driving on the wrong side of the road and don’t even know it. So you
keep running into the oncoming traffic, wondering why everyone is on
the wrong side of the road.
When life seems to be going wrong for all the people around you,
when those around you seem to be filled with bitterness and hatred,
when your surroundings seem negative and you can’t get along with
those people who seem to have issues; ask yourself this: Why am I
always around people who have issues? Know this: Wherever you go,
there you are! The issues probably do not reside in the other
people, but reside in you. So wherever you go, the issues will be
there. You can’t get away from those negative people, because the
negative resides in you. Wherever you go, there you are!
The remedy: Count it all joy! What ever you may be going through or
have gone through—count it all joy! “My brethren, count it all
joy when ye fall into divers temptations;” James 1:2 Lay your
burdens at the feet of Jesus. “For my yoke
is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 and
move into TRUE LIFE and out of idolatry, lust, hatred, jealousy,
malice, and greed. God loves you just where you are, but make
overtures (life movements) into a life of holiness. 1 Peter 1:16

When we
marry we promised God for better and for worse.
Why then divorce
every where?
“And said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother,
and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one fresh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
MATTHEW 19:5-6 (KJV)
Marriage is something
one must consider very well or check well before you put your
self inside. If there is true love between husband and wife, why
then divorce? The problem we are facing in marriage these days is
that people abandon true love and seek earthly things like money,
handsome, beautiful, personality, wealth, and so on. Many don’t even
ask God whether their partner is for him or her. Many don’t pray or
fast before getting engaged. But because they use artificial things
they like to make their decisions, they put themselves in nightmare
situations. If you divorce your partner and marry another man or
woman, you are living in sin and committing adultery. It is better
for you to stay alone and never put yourself in adultery.
“And I say unto you , Whoever shall put away his wife, except it
be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery and
whoso married her which is put away doth commit adultery.” Matthew
19:9 (KJV)
For the future of your children and your family, ask God to protect
you, your family, and protect your marriage. Jesus Christ is the
rock of life and Christ in marriage will build the foundation of
that rock. Prayers are the keys to any problem.
“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my
help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 121:1-2 (KJV)
May Jesus protect all families and block the effort of satan to
destroy Christian families. May Christ bless everyone now and
forever. Amen.

“As in water face reflects face, so a man’s heart reveals the
man.”
PROVERBS 27:19 (NKJV)
Friend, you are
what your thoughts are. You are what you are inside your heart not
what people say or think about you. Your success or failure in life
cannot be separated from your heart and thoughts. It is what you are
in your heart that controls your life. It is an empire or mansion
you build in your heart that reflects in true life. “Beloved, if
our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.” 1
John 3:21(KJV)
If something in your life is impossible, it is impossible because in
your heart it is impossible. It has failed because you have known in
your heart that it would fail. Your marriage collapsed because you
knew from the beginning in your heart that it would not last. ‘Let
me just give it a trial,’ so you said in your heart. ‘Nobody likes
me,’ so you say in your heart to yourself. Then it becomes a reality
in your life. Every where you go you behave like “nobody likes me.”
“Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if
perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.” Acts 8:22
(KJV)
Honey, you are the architect of everything that surrounds you either
good or bad by the way you use your heart via your thoughts. Your
picture of today was a thought in your heart yesterday. Your heart
controls your thoughts which in turn control your life and destiny.
You can be great in life if you will be great in your heart and
thoughts. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance
of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.” Hebrews 10:21 (KJV)
It is always a dynamic change in heart that brings about a total
change in life. Great men are men who are great in their heart and
thoughts. Mere men are men who are mean in their heart and thoughts.
To change your position, there must be deliberate action to change
your heartset towards your goals.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of
His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to
stand against he wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against
the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual
hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
EPHESIANS 6:10-12 (NKJV)
You can be strong
in the Lord. In fact, to be strong in the Lord is a command. It
is not a suggestion, an invitation, or option. You can be strong
academically, physically, financially, politically, and yet become
weak in the Lord. In Ephesians 6, Paul is talking about
spiritual strength that the Lord imparts. He isn’t talking about our
wisdom or physical might. It is those who know the Lord who will win
the battles in this hour. We are to be strong in the Lord and His
mighty power.
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand
against the wiles (the plots, schemes, or plans) of the
devil.” Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) The armor of God is the strength
of the Lord. “It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh
my way perfect.” Psalm 18:32 (KJV) If we don’t have the strength
of the Lord, we will not be able to stand in this hour. “The Lord
is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in
whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my
stronghold.” Psalm 18:2 (NKJV)
In Christ, we have the ability to stand and be strong. We need the
strength of the Lord to do what we are called to do and stand firm
against the schemes of the enemy. “God is our refuge and
strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 God’s
strength will put us over the top of any hurdle or circumstance.
“It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.”

Before going into a new place or position,
always remember to be open to new things;
the changes are temporal,
not eternal if one has not changed his mindset!
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is idolatry:”
COLOSSIANS 3:5 (KJV)
Cross-Over Point:
When we think of crossing over, we think of leaving one place
and going to another; leaving behind the old and embarking upon the
new. When Jacob, (later renamed by GOD as Israel) left behind the
ways of old and entered into GOD’s purpose and plan for his life, he
made a life-changing transition that affected his entire family.
Israel abandoned his will in exchange for GOD’s Divine Will. His
crossing over place was at The Ford Jabbok meaning “a place of going
over; shallow place of running/flying.
Israel was changed after he wrestled with God and God broke him from
his old ways. The Jabbok River was the natural border between the
desert and the fruitful land. The reason he had to be broken first
was so that he was prepared before receiving his inheritance and be
established according to the Lord’s promises for his life. We all
have a “Ford Jabbok” in our lives. This is the place where we go to
the other side, which divides our inheritance for the wilderness. We
know that Jacob received the blessing from Isaac in the wrong way by
deceiving his father with the help of his mother, cheating his own
brother Esau and went into hiding. Many of us as rightful children
of God are doing things the same way Jacob did and being moved away
from our inheritance because of mistakes and poor choices.
It is only when we return to God in the proper way and make
atonement for our sins, repent of our transgression/iniquity that
God will clean us up, renew us in mind, body, and spirit; then lead
us in the right direction. Our standard of life is determined by our
efforts to return to our place of wrongdoing to make amends with our
brother/sister, and surrendering our entire lives unto God Almighty.
God desires all of his children to enter into their promised
inheritance, crossing over out of the wilderness and into proper
alignment/true place of worship. Enter into the land flowing with
milk and honey today. Do not delay, do it NOW and cross over.

Blessings and responsibility wait for you on
the other side of your storm.
“For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake
you.” So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear.
What can man do to me?””
HEBREWS 13:5b-6 (NKJV)
Sometimes in the Christian
journey, things get quite rough and difficult. Could be you have
made some very bad decisions and you have sinned against the Lord.
It could be that God is allowing you to go through the furnace so He
can prepare you for the task ahead.
Since God does not consult with anyone to make His decisions, some
in the fold will desert you and turn away from you. They become
ashamed of you. They do not want to identify with you because of the
situation you are in. Paul writing to Timothy says of his
experience: “This you know that all those in Asia have turned
away from me,… The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus,
for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain.” 2
Timothy 1:15-16
Be assured child of God that you are not alone in this matter and
that your Father in Heaven has a purpose for you in the trial. Job
says; “He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me I
shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 The important thing you
should note when those whom you considered friends desert you, is
that they never were friends. They were there to feed on you. Jesus
had this to say of them: “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek
Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves
and were filled.” John 6:26
You should also know that even as God is allowing you to go through
the storm, He is about to thrust on you such responsibility and
blessing that will thoroughly overwhelm you. He promised never to
leave you alone.
“After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,
proclaiming the good news of God. “The time
has come,” he said, “The Kingdom of God is
near. Repent and believe the good news!”
MARK 1:15 (NIV)
The duel between
the prince of darkness and the Brilliant Star of the Morning is
moving everywhere and at all times. Much more evil is around to
tarnish this light of ours. More evil is around to try to put out
this light of ours. This evil is what the freedom of men brings to
our world—abortion, homosexuality, pedophilia, incest, and other
defects and imperfections of life. When this evil becomes the normal
rule of life and possible options of a way of life—all of which are
against the Creator and the Holy Scriptures, beloved, we are
challenged to become as wire in the Kingdom of God and speak out.
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters
nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers
will inherit the Kingdom of God. And that is what some of you were.
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” 1
Corinthians 6:9-11 (NIV)
Dear brothers and sisters, this Good News makes us want to spread
the light that we received! Let us leave our places of comfort and
announce the Gospel! Let us leave our areas of comfort in which we
live and support the Evangelists who have their faces to the ground.
We all work with the same formula! But over all things, let us live
in the Light to make the difference and to leave a positive impact
on our generation, so all darkness moves back!!!

Sometimes when we want to remain pleasing to
God, we just have to run.
“Therefore, gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix
your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.”
1 PETER 1:13 (NSV)
1Corinthians 6:18a
tells us to “flee immorality.” Flee means to break loose,
leave suddenly. Sometimes the best thing we can do to avoid a sinful
situation is run. God has given us power over the evil one, but
there are some instances where we just have to turn around and run
away from a situation. Just like Joseph when he was being enticed by
Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39:12; “And he left his garment in her
hand and fled, and went outside.” (NSV)
Other times we need to abstain. Abstain means to refrain
deliberately and often with an effort of self-denial from an action
or practice. It also means to choose deliberately not to do
something. 1 Peter 2:11 says “Beloved, I urge you as
aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war
against the soul.” (NSV) 1 Thessalonians 5:22 also tells
us “abstain from every form of evil.” And Romans 13:14
says “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for
the flesh in regard to its lusts.” (NSV)
The flesh wants us to do a lot of things, and most of those things
are displeasing to God. Once we have accepted Christ into our lives,
and begin filling our mind with the Word of God, we will begin
living a victorious life for God. It is then that we can move beyond
the guilt we feel over our past mistakes, and as Philippians 3:13
and 14 tells us, “brethren, I do not regard myself as
having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do, forgetting what lies
behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward
the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
We press on toward the goal, not the prize. If we keep our minds
on Christ, and turn our lives over to Him, we will reach the goal,
and when we reach the goal, the prize will be there—an eternity in
the presence of God.
Our mind is a battlefield between good and evil, between what
pleases God and what pleases us. We have to remember that we are the
temples of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19 states, “Or
do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is
in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?”
From now on, think of yourself as the dwelling place of God here on
earth and remember Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinks within
himself, so he is.” (NSV)
Jesus is with you 24/7. Talk to Him—He will
make it right.
“‘And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This
is the first commandment.”
MARK 12:30 (NKJV)
Prayer Power. It
is said no prayer life no power. This is true and false depending on
how you live your life and your concept of prayer. Grace abounds.
Jesus prayed very much and He is our example; therefore we should
pray a lot. Jesus prayed late at night and early in the morning. His
disciples could not maintain the type of prayer life that He
maintained. Jesus and God know that many of us cannot or will not
sustain a genuine, lengthy, earnest prayer time.
Remember, prayer is personal communication with Jesus, God, the Holy
Spirit, and God’s Holy Family. James says to pray always. What does
that mean? How can you have a personal communication with God 24/7
(twenty-four hours in a day and seven days a week)? Acknowledge God
in all things and He will direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:6)
This verse is the key (or mystery) to praying always and to having a
healthy, productive prayer life. God is not too busy dealing with
all the prayers of the world, the universal issues, or the
catastrophic occurrences in life to listen to your smallest issue or
the most minuscule concern.
Another key is: Love the Lord thy God with all you heart, mind,
strength… (Mark 12:30) This means He is your everything—your
all and all. You tell Him everything. Everything you do belongs to
Him. Everything you say belongs to Him. Everything you desire
belongs to Him. Bring every to Jesus (in prayer) because it all
belongs to Him. Jesus will make it right if you will bring your
issue to Him.
“I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.” (Joshua 1:9; Hebrews
13:5; Matthew 28:20) This means that Jesus is with you right
now. He is with you 24/7. He wants you to talk to Him— to have
personal communication—prayer power. Talk to Him because He is
talking to you. He wants you to listen and obey. Bring your
everything, no matter how big or small—bring it to Jesus because He
is a friend when there is no friend and He is the Way when there is
no way. Seek God's Presence through prayer.

If we “practice hospitality” in our homes,
neighborhoods, and communities,
we will enjoy a safer, happier environment
and a peaceful, joy-filled life.
“Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one
should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully
administering God’s grace in its various forms.”
1 PETER 4:9-10 (NIV)
“Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves
what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined”
TITUS 1:8 (NIV)
Too many people are
turned away from the Word of Truth, because little hospitality is
shown to them. To practice hospitality is to repeatedly do good
deeds to others. Leaders must be an example in practicing
hospitality. (Titus 1:8; 1 Timothy 3:2)
The Shunammite woman invited prophet Elisha into her home to eat
whenever he would pass by that way. She and her husband prepared a
room for him to stay at times. (2 Kings 4:8-10) Do you know
of someone who would feel appreciated if invited to a meal? A child
comes from school to find that his or her parent is not at home.
What would your response be?
The jailer who had received Jesus as his Savior, invited Paul and
Silas into his house for a meal. (Acts 16:33-34) He also
attended to their wounds. This took place late at night. Sometimes
it takes going the extra mile to show kindness. Some of us know the
story well of the man on Jericho road who was robbed and beaten, and
before the good Samaritan came along to render hospitality, a
priest, also a Levite had passed by saw the man and left him there
in his time of desperate need.
Everyone of us would like to be treated hospitably all of the time.
So do others. Each one deserves to be treated well by each of us. We
must value one another, showing hospitality to those at our offices,
work places, in our homes, in our communities, in our home churches
and neighborhoods. It is not too late to start doing what is right.
Perhaps you may start with receiving Christ in your life, if you do
not know Him personally. (1 John 1:9) This would be your
greatest need. Then begin attending a Bible believing church, read
your Bible each day, and tell others that you are now a Christian.
God bless you!

“And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working
with them,
and confirming the word with signs following.
Amen.”
MARK 16:20 (KJV)
India is a Hindu nation
of hundreds of millions of heathen. I had scarcely 1 or 2 Christian
friends around me when I was in college, doing my degree in arts. My
study program was discontinued when I felt God’s calling for His
ministry. I then went to a Bible college, for I had to be in God’s
vineyard. I did under rate my work because my friends were doing
very well in jobs with the Indian government. I cursed my parent who
encouraged me to go into ministry. I never loved my work.
Things
began to happen when I began to proclaim the Good News from village
to village and door to door using gospel tracts. That was a long
time back, thank God. I never looked back to what my friends were
doing and I realized that I’m blessed to have my parent who
dedicated me for God’s ministry. My parent was not wrong to help me
work in God’s vineyard. Praise be to God who uses me to get young
people started in church activities. My churches and I will not go
out without gospel tracts and some New Testament Bibles. I’m happy
for our churches are evangelizing.
If you
carefully observe the church’s activities today, you can well notice
that the Christian churches are keeping themselves set apart from
the main reason for the church. Government employees and well to do
people are the least bothered about going to church or it’s
activities. Those who seriously engage themselves in church are the
unemployed, the less fortunate and a few born-again Christian.
In Israel all the first-born and all the children of Levi were
claimed exclusively by God to be continually at His disposal in the
service of His house. Does not the same God claim His people for His
service? If Israel had to set a part one-twelfth of it’s children
for the work of God, what portion of her people should the Christian
church devote to the work committed to her? It’s so sad that there
is hardly a missionary or evangelist engaged in ministry from a
beautiful church. There is hardly a missionary organization engaged
in teaching and rescuing the lost that does not complain of lack of
laborers.
The call
is being sounded louder every time that the doors to the hundreds of
million of heathen are opened wide, and yet so sad to have a few
number of laborers. Why so? The Christians and the churches are
self-serving in their work. Of course they work, but misdirected
work. The church should train up churches to carry out the highest
privilege of proclaiming the Good News to the broken hearted and to
the poor. The work of the Master of Salvation is suffering because
the churches are not understanding that they have been redeemed to
serve Him who gave Himself for them. Let all the churches devote
today and right now to God and His service. Churches the LORD says,
“Raise up and go!” Churches listen to what the LORD says. God bless.
Amen!

Seek not fortunes of the earth. They will
take you to hell.
Seek heaven and be rich there and on earth.
“Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all
the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to
Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for
this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I
wish.”
LUKE 4:5-6 (NKJV)
Old tricky devil.
The devil is an old tricky living thing. Even he is older than
the first man Adam is. And as an old thing, he knows how to capture
souls and make them suffer with him in hell. His number one weapon
he uses is poverty. For this weapon causes men to abandon God and
start searching for things of the world that will perish away.
Lack or poverty get people to focus on things carnal rather than
things eternal. Search not for the things of the world, but repent
and seek Christ. There are many riches in heaven, my brothers and
sisters. Why are you wasting time and energy focusing on the things
of this world when the Lord is waiting on you to focus on Him? “Do
not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust
destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for
yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys
and where thieves do not break in and steal.” Matthew 6:19-20
(NKJV)
Jesus is God. When He was in the world, He never searched for
riches, gold, or silver. He chose instead to be a carpenter as his
earthly father, Joseph. He spent time fishing for men and telling
them about the love of God and His salvation. He searched for no
fortunes, but for the hearts of men, women, and children. “When a
wicked man dies, his expectation will perish, and the hope of the
unjust perishes.” Proverbs 11:7 (NKJV)
Say, “no” to money and say, “yes” to heaven. There is no eternal joy
in the world, so why are you wasting time seeking riches and gold.
“For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 (NKJV) God wants your
heart and mind—your life—to be on Him. God bless everyone now and
forever in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Life is not measured by the number of
breaths that we breathe,
but by the number of moments that take our
breath away.
“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt
find him,
if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy
soul.”
DEUTERONOMY 4:29 (KJV)
Jesus said that
the hungry and thirsty will be the ones that get filled (satisfied
to the full). “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6 (KJV)
Hunger is the spiritual sign that a person is walking with God
progressively. The hungry ones have always found God.
Moses was hungry and the Lord talked to him face to face (Exodus
3:6; Deuteronomy 34:10) and let him live in His Glory. Joshua
was so hungry that when Moses was leaving the Tabernacle after a
whole day of service to the Lord and the people, Joshua continued
there. The result is that the Lord would even stop the sun for him,
in order that he succeeds in doing God’s will. (Joshua 10:12-13)
David was so hungry, that he likened himself to a deer that pants
for the waters. (Psalm 42:1) The one thing that he wanted in
his life was to live in the house of the Lord all the days of his
life. (Psalm 27:4) He was a man after God’s own heart.
(Acts 13:22)
There are so many more to mention, like Enoch, Ezekiel, Daniel, and
the apostles, who couldn’t live one second without His Presence.
There is a spiritual condition, that I like to call: “Chronic
spiritual hunger”. That’s the state we must all reach – always be
more and more hungry and hungry for more and more. Then and then
only the Lord will satisfy us fully.

Jesus wants to know you more, just where you are; no secrets.
“By night on my bed I sought Him whom my soul loveth: I sought
Him, but I found Him not.”
SONG OF SOLOMON 3:1 (ASV)
I WANT MORE, LORD!
In her book, The Cry Of My Heart Is To Love Jesus More, Anne Lotz
Graham speaks of longing for more of Jesus, wanting to know Him
more! I have been thinking about this very much. We think we want
more of Jesus, more of His love, more of His power, more boldness,
more strength, more answers to prayer, more guidance . . . More!
More! More! More of God! That’s what we say, “Lord give me more!” I
have heard it so often and I am sure you have too! I’m sure that
you, like me, have spent hours on your face crying and asking God
for more! We seek for Him and long for Him. Like you, I’m longing to
know Him more. I’m longing to love Him more! My desire is to serve
Him more! Are those the things, you, like me, are saying? We do, do,
do! We are great at doing more and more in our effort to please Him
because we think it will bring us closer to Him so we can know Him
more.
God showed me that He is longing to know me more, but it is not
about me wanting more of Jesus, more of the Father, more of the Holy
Spirit, more of His love, more of His power, more of His strength,
more of His supply! No! No! I had it all wrong! He revealed to me
that the way I was looking at it was selfish! It was all about me!
Me! Me! It was entirely self-centered and selfish! That was a
revelation! He just wants to know me more and love me more. He wants
more of me. More relationship with me. More of my time. More of my
love. More of me yielding to His plan. More of my devotion. More of
my surrender. He wants me to put my roots down deep in His Word,
where deep cries to deep; where I sit at the table with Him; where I
am naked and not ashamed in His presence; where all the walls are
down, open and transparent; where I sit face to face with no hidden
secrets. God wants me to reveal myself to Him in all my fullness. He
wants to know my dreams, my plans, my vision and my purpose. God
wants me to share with Him my happiness, my joy, my good times, my
family. He wants to know the real me with my fears, my loneliness,
my uncertainties, my insecurities, my difficulties and my emotional
pain.
He wants this with you. Precious son, precious daughter, Jesus your
Lover, the lover of your soul, wants to know the real you. Tell Him
now about yourself. Don’t just assume He knows it all. Take time and
spend it with Jesus—Jesus the lover of your soul. Yield now all your
hidden parts to the lover of your soul. Become open and transparent
with Him. He loves you. The cry of His heart is to know you more.

What makes life difficult is not the
presence of problems, but the absence of God.
“Never for a moment falter before your opponents, for your
fearlessness will be a sure sign for them of their coming
destruction, but to you it will be an omen, from God himself, of
your deliverance.”
PHILIPPIANS 1:28 (Goodspeed)
Men and Women who
make headlines are ordinary people who decided to attempt great
things with the “super” of God which comes on their “ordinary” to
make them “superordinary.” They know they must fight, but to fight
is not enough—they win. They have three characteristics:
People of Courage. Courage is an
act of determination and stickability. Courage does not mean there
is no obstacle. The enemies will always be there, but a person of
courage keeps on going, enemy or no enemy. You cannot win in the
battle unless there is this season with courage. Every person’s life
has seasons. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8) God has a place and an
assignment for us, no matter our season of life. You and I will
always be needed. Respond to this need today with courage.
People of Conscious. They are
people who are conscious of God's presence. “And
lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:20. You cannot pass through the shadows of life
alone. You cannot confront any obstacle without God as your Source.
University certificate or Diploma becomes impotent at the presence
of a mountain. Go out today with the consciousness and confidence of
God’s presence.
People of Knowledge. They know
God will fight for them. (1 Samuel 17:47) God is the One who
marks life’s scripts not your enemy. If you are born again, you can
confront the enemy knowing it is God who fights for you.

Christ Jesus set the example of suffering
and persecution on the cross.
Face your suffering on your cross.
“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed,
but let him glorify God on this behalf.”
1 PETER 4:16 (KJV)
Many Christians now,
only seek prosperity and earthly material things from God.
Always seeking selfish prayers and earthly blessings. Only a few of
our generation seek true salvation. We must never forget that
Christ—God Himself was a son of a carpenter while here on earth.
Though all riches belong to Him, He chose a poor carpenter as His
father. “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother
called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and
Judas?” Matthew 13:55 (KJV)
As a Christian, suffering is part of the cross we must carry. It
does not matter what the people say, persecutions, suffering, pain,
and conflict will be a part of the cross you bear. We, the children
of God are not of the world, for our home is in heaven. “If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”
John 15:18 (KJV) We must be strong and follow our Lord in any
condition; good or bad, weak or strong, rich or poor. Suffering is
part of our faith and we must not fall away because we are
suffering, persecuted, or in pain.
“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any
man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.”
Matthew 16:24-25 (KJV)
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs in the kingdom of heaven. Blessed
are ye, when men revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be
exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew
5:10-12 (KJV) Much love, peace, and blessings from our God Jesus
to you all.

“Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that
God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines,
although that was near: for God said, “Lest perhaps the people
change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.” So God
led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red
Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the
land of Egypt.”
EXODUS 13:17-18 (NKJV)
Receiving your victory
in the midst of the wilderness. The truth is that the difficulties
that we face are not barriers, but challenges. If we manage them
well, they will bring success to our lives and total victory. The
victory of men are mostly prepared in the wilderness of life. The
children of Israel wouldn’t have known that God could create a dry
path in the midst of the great Red Sea, or cause manna to fall from
heaven as a new food, or not allowing their garments and shoes not
to wax for all those forty years. May the Lord cause a new food in
our lives and may He make our garments not to wax in the name of
Jesus Christ.
There is something wonderful and secret about God that men, women,
and children will never know or understand until we go through some
terrible times in our lives. Diamonds and gold are from the hard
rock, sweet honey comes out of the bees that sting, and cruel oil
that the entire world longs for is deep in the midst of the dirt.
Until we become strong enough to confront our challenges, we can
never have victory in the wilderness; because confrontation is to
come—face to face—we cannot conquer that which we cannot confront.
Therefore, no matter how tough the challenges around us may be, our
victory will certainly come if we allow ourselves to go through the
desert with Christ Jesus.
Our reaction to information determines our level of reformation. If
information is not appreciated, the informed is not reformed. If we
do not have a desert to pass through, we can never have a future to
present. The wilderness is the way to eternal success. If Jesus
Christ Himself could go through the wilderness (the Cross), then
every living Christian must go through the wilderness to have
victory. Wilderness is a very unusual desolate place but when any
weak thing is taken into the wilderness, it comes back being strong.
The problem is, every natural man wants comfort. He always avoids
the wilderness and eventually ends up as a victim. Remember, it is
God’s will and love that takes us through the wilderness; not the
devil, but our loving Father. May the Lord give us an understanding
of every wilderness we find ourselves in and may He cause a river to
overflow in our wilderness and may He place a new song in our mouths
in the name of Jesus.
It’s no use to tell people that I am a man of
God.
Works from God show and tell who I am.
“And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a
man of God, and that the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth.”
1 KINGS 17:24 (KJV)
Truth. God is
trustworthy. “The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is
my shield, and the horn or my salvation, my high tower, and my
refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.” 2 Samuel 22:3
(KJV) God speaks the truth. He is a true God. Spiritual truth comes
out as spoken by the Almighty. Please do not claim the truth of God
and do not claim the power of God is if it comes from you. God alone is truth and power. We
are but the tools which He uses to impart His truth and power into
His creation.
“But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my
trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalm
73:28 I should speak the Word without twisting facts—insulting
the truth. “For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an
abomination to my lips.” Proverbs 8:7 From the beginning of the
world until today God has stood for the truth. Here on earth,
mankind wants to live on lies and cheating. “None calleth for
justice, now any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity,
and speak lies: they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.”
Isaiah 59:4 Some of the same people who live on lies and
cheating claim to be children of God. Our Father is not a liar and
will never be a God of such people.
Let us be true representatives of the Almighty. “These are
the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his
neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:”
Zechariah 8:16 (KJV) If no miracles are shown, please wait for
Gods’ time. Avoid embarrassing moments—listen to God. “As for
God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he
is a buckler to all them that trust in him.” 2 Samuel 22:31;
Psalm 18:30 (KJV) Follow the Word of God. Reflect Jesus Christ
in your life. You will find brothers and sisters around you will
praise God for the works done through you by God.

Each time you act in unbelief, you are
questioning the integrity of God and make Him a liar.
That hurts Him
and short-circuits your miracle.
“Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things
new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and
faithful.’”
REVELATION 21:5 (KJV)
Are you one of the beloved
who is disturbed that your enemy the devil is consistently
attacking? Do you find yourself ever going to the alter Sunday after
Sunday, service after service, yet you do not seem to receive your
miracle like the scriptures promise? You have had all the great men
and women of God pray over you, yet you have not had your healing or
miracle. You are perplexed, and perhaps have resigned to your fate
just as your doctor told you.
Child of God, your heavenly Father is faithful. His word declares;
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be
in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 2 (KJV) God is
faithful and He will not lie to you. The reason you have not
received your miracle is neither God, the devil, nor the preacher.
It is that you have caused your ignorance of God’s nature and
character to hinder your miracle. God is more willing to heal you
than you are to receive His miracle. However, He cannot violate His
word for He will not deny Himself. “My people are destroyed for
lack of knowledge:” Hosea 4: 6 Therefore, “Let us pursue the
knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the
morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and
former rain to the earth,” Hosea 6:3 (NKJV)
The problem is just the same as that in the garden. Adam and Eve
questioned the integrity of God’s word to them. Do you trust in the
integrity of God’s word? Will God keep His word or violate it? What
is the word of God saying to you today? He is not fixing your worn
out parts. God is not a repair man. He makes new organs for your
body to replace the damage and worn out ones. He gives you new ideas
to get you to the top. He gives fresh breath to your sour
relationship. “Wow, I make it new for you whenever you ask Me
in faith.” Then He says, for you to note down what He has
said because He will bring it to pass. It is therefore your unbelief
that takes you back to the Alter after God has given you His word.
Rest on His promise and rehearse it and He will bring it to pass.
When God gets what He wants from you…
…You get what you want from God.
“Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the
flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the
Spirit reap everlasting life.”
GALATIANS 6:7 (NKJV)
Seed and Fruit.
Farmers plant seeds in the proper seasons, so do we. But sometimes
we plant improper seeds in improper seasons. As farmers nurture
their seeds planted in soil, so must we nurture our children.
Farmers wait and work, and work and wait on crops to grow. So must
we work on nurturing and wait as it takes effect. This is just one
human perspective of seed planting.
Let’s look at a spiritual perspective. Our words and actions are the
seeds and people are God’s soil in which will grow what is planted.
In Nature God has created seeds. One pine tree seed carries in its
bosom an entire forest. One orange seed carries an entire orchard in
its potential. One tree seed carries in its possibilities hundreds
of wooden boards for houses. One apple seed is the home of thousands
of apple pies. One seed has the power to release the treasures of
our human minds. One flower seed has the magnificent beauty of a
thousand bouquets. We have the ability to crush a seed under our
shoes or plant it under our feet in fertile ground or ground which
is not fertile but which we can nurture.
Imagine when you open your mouth hundreds of seeds coming out.
We plant seeds daily in our lives and into others which will produce
forests, orchards, bouquets, or evil beyond imagination. Seeds we
reap do not look like what we sow. You will reap what you
sow, but you may not know:
1) What you
are sowing,
2) When you
are sowing, or
3) What you
are sowing is going to look like when it is sprouting, growing,
or fully grown and mature.
The mystery is: an apple
seed looks nothing like an apple tree or an apple pie. A mustard
seed looks nothing like a mustard tree. The seeds we plant are not
going to look, sound, or feel like that which we planted. We are
going to reap those seeds, but they are not going to look, taste, or
smell like what we sowed. The enemies of God will have us believe
that if we sow $1 that we will reap $100 from God; and that being
the beginning and end of the sowing process. A clue: when
Solomon asked for wisdom, he got riches beyond belief. He sowed his
life into what his father King David had prepared for the Lord’s
Tabernacle and God’s people.
God wants us to sow our lives into Him and His Kingdom. God is not
mocked; what we sow, we shall reap. What are you sowing your life
into today? Sow well, reap well. Sow God, His Son Jesus, and your
life into your children’s lives, and into your community. Sow your
life--Jesus did.
Righteousness will exalt you, but sin in
your life will bring disgrace to you.
“This is how we know who the children of God
are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do
what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love
his brother.”
1 JOHN 3:10 (NIV)
“Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the
evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him?
Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.”
1 JOHN 3:12 (NIV)
There are many evil acts
in our world today because many people deceive themselves into
thinking that they can live a good, decent, and respectable life
outside of God. As the years progress, many people commit crime in
their neighborhoods or elsewhere. In many instances, homes are not
what they once used to be – a safe place. Fathers come home drunk,
children are hidden behind closed doors for fear of being beaten by
a drunken dad. People more or less want to have good times, a happy
life, but are incapable of finding it.
WE ARE INCAPABLE OF FINDING TRUE HAPPINESS, SATISFACTION, AND
FULFILLMENT IN OUR OWN LIVES; AND INCAPABLE OF GIVING IT TO OUR
CHILDREN OR OUR FAMILY MEMBERS.
WE can stop the evil practices in our homes and stop them from
spreading into our communities by acknowledging our Creator God, and
His Son Jesus Christ who came to destroy the works of the devil (in
humans). See 1 John 3:8-10. You will agree with me that pain,
hurt, and frustration are the result of an evil life-style; as is
quarelling in the home, taking something that does not belong to you
from home, or the job, or elsewhere, and immoral or loose conduct.
The evil works you do will follow you. You want success. You desire
peace in your home and in your heart. This is possible with Jesus
who gave His life for you to have “LIFE ETERNAL.”
Ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you of every sin that you have
committed, and to cleanse you from every sin, and to receive you as
his child. Start attending a Bible believing church and begin to let
others know that you are now a Christian. Pray every day. Read the
Bible every day.

but rather the direction we take towards our
goal.
“Who gave Himself for us,
that He might redeem us from every
lawless deed and purity for Himself
a people for His own possession,
zealous for good deeds.”
TITUS 2:14 (NAS)
Measuring Excellence.
True excellence reflects the nature of God. It is not so much what
we have achieved, but rather the direction we take towards our goal.
True excellence is the walk and quality of our lives lived for the
glory of God. How you live daily should not embarrass God, but bring
joy to Him who invited you into His kingdom to share His glory…“so
that you may walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into
His own kingdom and glory.” 1 Thessalonians 2:12 (NAS)
Excellence demands a standard, and that standard should be God’s
Word. The Bible provides insights or principles by which we can
measure our achievements. For example, we can ask ourselves: “Does
this thing bring glory to God? Does it hurt or harm others? Does it
contribute to the welfare of others? Does it defile the body which
is the temple of the Holy Spirit? How does it affect my values? What
are the motives behind this performance? Is this a selfish act?
Excellence means living a life that is dedicated to the will of God…a
life that is pleasing… a life that is fruitful in every way… a life
of character and integrity. It means doing your work according to
God’s precepts. It means reflecting God’s glory in everything you do
or get involved in. It means letting go the cheap and trashing
things that life gives to us and embracing those things that have
high and lasting values.
“For we are God’s (own) handiwork (His
workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do
those good works which God pre-destined (planned beforehand) for us,
(taking paths which He prepared ahead of time) that we should walk
in them—living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for
us to live.” Ephesians 2:10 (Amplified) God’s desire for us is
that we bear good, quality fruit in our lives. Good fruit is the
mark of an excellent life.

Accept gifts from others; therein lie their

Receive your gift from Jesus; therein lie
your family’s blessings.
“Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we
esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and by His
stripes we are healed.”
ISAIAH 53:4-5 (NKJV)
It is not easy but it is
worth it. Various prophets in the Bible foretold the
birth and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. The word of God tells us
about His life—from birth, hardship, and pain—that He experienced
while He was on earth. Imagine the Saviour of the whole world to be
borne in a manger (with the animals)! When Jesus was here on the
earth, He was hated in such a way that king Herod killed all the
little baby boys under two years in order to slay Jesus. This
created bitterness concerning Jesus, the Hebrew Saviour. Joseph and
his mother Mary took him to Africa into exile. (Matthew 2:13)
When He began His ministry (the work of His Father), the people were
not happy with about what He did; even if He raised the dead from
the tomb, healed the sick, set free the captives, the people said
that He had demons. (Matthew 12:24) Before Jesus came into
this world, He knew very well what was waiting for Him. He knew all
manners of persecutions, insults, and hatred would come upon Him on
our behalf. Remember the shameful death Jesus died on the cross
because of our sins. “He shall see the travail of His soul, and
be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify
many, for He shall bear their iniquities.” Isaiah 53:11 (NKJV)
There was no any other person to bear this penalty except Jesus. The
Bible says, “And no one in heaven, or the earth , or under the
earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. So I wept much,
because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to
look at it. But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has prevailed to
open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” Revelation 5:3-5
(NKJV)
In His life Jesus suffered a lot; they hunted Him everywhere, they
spit on Him, they looked for Him in order to harm Him, but they
couldn’t find Him because Jesus slipped away from them. When His
time to be crucified came, He got tortured, went to the cross, and
got nailed to a the cross. He endured all this in order to bring
redemption to mankind. Be grateful about what Jesus did for us. We
were as the grass of the field. Be careful! Don’t neglect and
despise this most important gift which we have received through the
blood of Jesus. Dear beloved, agree today to receive Jesus Christ as
your Lord and Saviour.
