THE GOSPEL.

By -


              The Gospel of Christ, the indisputable Truth and Word of His. According to Romans 1:16, the Gospel is “the power of God unto Salvation to everyone who believes”. Not just the Salvation of our Spirit, but more importantly, the Salvation of the mind, soul and body. Sadly, majority of Christians stop at the Salvation of the spirit, when they got born again, limiting the extent to which the power of God can operate in their lives and the extent to which they can prosper.  3John1:2, Ephesians 3:20.
                About prosperity, the Gospel is a pre-requisite, as seen in Matthew 11:5. Jesus said “the poor have the Gospel preached to them”. He didn’t say “the poor will I miraculously provide for or feed”. This shows how important the Gospel is, to those who want to be prosperous in this life, and in that to come.
                The Gospel/ Word of God shouldn’t be something you only read/ study, you must also keep it, allowing it to influence and dominate your thinking, mindset and character as you diligently do all it says. Saturate yourself in the Gospel, let it affect your life, renew your carnal mind (daily), causing the light in you to shine brightly before all men/ nations like a city set on the hill. The Gospel should so much influence you that when people see you, they’ll also see Jesus, The Hope of Glory, working, dwelling and manifesting Himself in you to others. Preach the Gospel, not just with your mouth, but also through your lifestyle, walking in love and under His Light, witnessing for Christ… until the whole world hears.
                Standing for the Gospel comes with its weight and burdens, trials, tribulations and persecution, that’s why we have access to His never ending mercies, ever Sufficient Grace and never failing Strength. This might sometimes be difficult, but no matter what “don’t be ashamed of the Gospel”, no matter the circumstance, don’t compromise with the standards of the world.  The Will of God will never lead you where the Grace of God cannot keep you. If “it” comes to you, He who is faithful, God will definitely bring you through “it”. Acts14:22      
                You don’t need to be a pastor, or a preacher or any such to be a witness of the Gospel, (your lifestyle or actions are enough, to start with). God reveals His Truth to the few who (are willing) to give themselves to Him, with a broken heart, a contrite spirit and an open or (being) renewed mind. Those who’ll submissively follow His instructions, ready to set apart themselves for Him, His Glory, His Perfect Church. He doesn’t really care how old/ young you are, what you’ve been through, how dirty you’ve been. He can change all that Isaiah 1:18, 2Corinthians 5:17.
                God’s looking for vessels of Honor, through who Hewill reveal His Glory in these last days, hearts that will love all (including the sinner, but not the sin) the way Jesus does, minds that are conformed and made perfect to the mind of Christ. Showing the world that Jesus wasn’t kidding when He said a Greater than Solomon would arise; making the wisdom of this world foolishness, and the strength of this world weakness. Matt 12:42,1 Corinthians 1:27-28.
                God’s looking for, calling you; the new breed of Christians. Don’t fail Him, He might not call you now, but still, follow Him, keep running the race, chasing after God. Ask God to give you a discerning Spirit, so you can know that Sweet voice of His and know when He is calling you, so you won’t answer Him late.
                You are destined for Greatness in God’s Kingdom, and to this world, but not in it. God wants you to bring Glory to His name, to the ends of the earth.
                Remember, if you deny Christ or His Gospel here on earth, He will deny you before His Father in heaven.
Grace be with you. Amen.

FAITH

By -
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.     Faith plays a significant role in our walk with God and the fulfillment of our destinies. This is so 'cos without faith, God's promises have no solid basis or foundation in our lives. Also, without faith in God, our will can't revolve around God's, and without this, it'll be impossible for our minds to have even a tiny conception of God's eternal glory and His will. Romans 10:17 says "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." And as we know, our mind processes information that comes through our ears. So unless our minds are(being) renewed to the mind of Christ, though the words come in, through our ears, they'll just sound like ordinary words. This is so because the sin nature is blocking the entrance of the words of faith. From this, you see that the result of what comes in through your ears depends on the level to which your mind has...

LIVING AT PEACE

By -
   In my 2nd article, I wrote "your definition of peace shouldn't necessarily be that no trials or harm would come your way, but having an assurance that no matter what comes your way, God will always be there to see you through. I know that at this point in time, living a life filled with peace is not that easy due to the economic crisis, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, increase in  all sorts of crime and other things like that. But as true believers that shouldn't bother us, because God said in Psalm 91, summarizing, that "we will live a long and peaceful life"  so it's up to us to believe it. Living a peaceful life isn't something that's gonna happen automatically when we get born-again, we have to pray for it daily, without ceasing because the evil, being the ruler of this world, constantly has his eyes on true believers because they are a threat to his kingdom. And because the devil knows that...   1John 4:4  ...greater is HE that is...

Don't Awaken Love

"Don't awaken Love until it pleases" Three times was this statement made in the book of Songs of Solomon (SOS 2:7, 3:5, 8:4) and I believe that statement needs to be echoed louder in this generation. Welcome to my generation where we want a quick fix,  instant noodles,  fast food,  even Fast and the furious- on a lighter note.  Although the rate of getting somethings done can be accelerated, this doesn't apply to Love. In other words,  Love needs time. Like a butterfly, Love is an organism that metamorphises on its own as the Creator fashioned it to be,  and it develops with Patience There's been an increase in the rate at which break-ups and divorce cases occur and I strongly believe it's tied to this simple reason, we awaken Love too early. See you can meet someone who's "God sent" but if you fan up the embers of Love too quickly, you'll end up doubting if the person was really "God sent" or the person was ...
