KINGDOM MESSAGE

THE PRICE OF DISOBEDIENCE 1

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 14:13:00 +0000

We are looking at three distinctive bible character in terms of their disobedience to God, the price they paid for been disobedient, and the reasons some Christians could still be living under the same curse.

1. Adam

Genesis 3:17 “And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.”

The first human created by God had a special relationship with our Daddy in heaven. God would literally come down from His heavenly throne to commune with His creature. He was so much in love with the first man, that he had to plant a garden for him, and wanted him to live in splendour all the days of his live.

However, when that man disobeyed Him and acted contrary to his commands, He didn’t hesitate to lay a curse, targeted at him and his descendants after him. God said, for disobeying me “cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life”

Can you think of anything today that is earthly, that does not have a direct relationship with the ground? Let us list a few things that grow on the ground;

1. Trees. What are threes used for today?

2. Diamonds. What are diamonds used for?

3. Gold: Can you think of usage of gold?

4. Food: We grow foods on the ground. How important do you think food is to us?

5. Water: It flows on the ground. Do you think water is important?

I want you to look around your room or office and try to determine whether or not, there is a thing there, which does not have a relationship to the ground.

Living under the above curse of the Lord can be very devastating, and frustrating for the person under it. When you are disobeying God’s commandments, the curse automatically begin to work in your life, for His words will not go back to him void, neither is He a man that He should lie.

Even though you have been redeemed from the curse of the law, you are still commanded by Jesus to obey every commandments of the Lord, not by coercion but through your love for Him. However, the consequences of disobeying Him is that; none of the things that have direct relationship with the ground would obey you, as a Christian. Your efforts most times would go to waste until you acknowledge your fault, repent and change your ways.

Your prosperity as a born again child of God is directly linked to your obedience to God.

THE HONOR OF SAINTS

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 10:17:00 +0000

The Honor Of Saints

It is time for Christians to recognize the honor due to them in the Kingdom. As Jesus told His disciples: “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” This statement indicates that those that are citizens of heaven have the honor of utilizing the powers Jesus utilizes, but the honor of using that power should not be their focus.

“Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”

The above passage again reminds us of what is more important; the kingdom and not the benefits. However, a lot of Christians have abandoned the idea of seeking the kingdom and are instead chasing after the honor due to those in the kingdom. These types of Christians draw near to God with their lips but their heart is far away from Him. They want the powers without the corresponding holiness and righteous expected of them. Perfection is not in their dictionary; even though Jesus made it clear we should be perfect like our father in heaven.

“Psalm 149:5-9, Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them sing aloud on their beds, let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword In their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment-This honor have all His saints.”

As good as the above Psalm reads, it’s only for the saints; those who takes seriously their Christian journey, and seek perfection through Christ. Those that don’t turn away the needy, neither sit on the seat of the wicked. It is for those that delight themselves in the law of the Lord, those that obey every of His commandments. It is for those that seek first the kingdom and its righteousness.

All Christians wants the “two-edged sword” but most cannot handle the Word of God. How many of us can sell all their earthly possessions, give the proceeds to the poor and follow Christ if Christ were to asked us to do so today? If we cannot handle it when it concerns us, how can we deploy it against forces of darkness? That is why its important to be in the kingdom. Those in the kingdom understand that the earth is the Lords and its fullness thereof, they therefore can act even when it seems against their interest, knowing that their God is able to provide above even their imagination.

To glory and exercise the power of God as communicated to us in Psalm 149:5-9 above, we must do the following:

Repent of your sins and be baptized
Obey every God instructions whether or not it is convenient.
Be a joyful giver and plead the cause of the widow and the fatherless
Put on the righteousness of Christ. Don’t be self righteous
Pray in season and out of season

When you give yourself totally to the Lord, He makes you His business, and you therefore, will rejoice in Him and be able to cast out demons, walk on waters, heal the sick, raise the dead, and shall be blessed and be a blessing to others. Ask God for the spirit of perfection today, that you might be counted among His saints that He continues to honor with power to the glory of His name.

ANOINTING TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 17:59:00 +0000

Anoiting To Procliam The Acceptable Year Of The Lord

As we have discussed throughout this anointing series, all Christians have the anointing to preach the gospel, heal the brokenhearted, proclaim liberty to the captives, restore sight sight to the blind, set the oppressed free and proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.

Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord has become more urgent than ever before, this so because the things Jesus asked us to look out for on the last days are now all around us:

“Matthew 24:7-9 …and there will be famines, pestilence, and earthquakes in various places…and they will kill you, and you be hated by all nations for my name’s sake”

A study of Matthew chapter 24 will convince you that the time to accept Christ and be in the Kingdom along with the saints is now. All Christ said was going to happen as a sign for the coming tribulation is already happening. From Pakistan where some simply wants to wipe out their brothers simply because they believe in the name of Jesus, to USA where freedom means to indulge in ungodliness and Nigeria where pastors collect offerings and tithes to buy private jets while their members wallow in poverty, and yet tells their congregation that they come in the name of Christ.

Boko Haram, ISIS, and others think they are doing God a favour by killing us. All these point to the fact that Jesus is on the way. We therefore must intensify our effort using the anointing that we have received to proclaim that today is the acceptable day, and indeed, this is the acceptable year of the Lord. He is willing to accept and welcome all into the Kingdom today, no matter your past sinful life, so long as you are willing to let go of that life and put on Christ-become a new creation.

“Isaiah 2:12 for the day of the Lord of hosts shall come upon everything proud and lofty, upon everything lifted up-And it shall be brought low”

Are you too proud and lifted up that you think evangelism is not your business? Evangelism is the core of your business on earth, you therefore must remove every obstacle that makes you feel evangelism is beneath you and immediately go out and tell someone about God and Jesus today.

If you are reading this article and you are wondering what we are talking about or don’t feel any urgent need for repentance, we would draw your attention to the following scriptures:

“Matthew 13:41 The Son of Man will send His angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness.”

“Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

The above scriptures talks about sins and their consequences, but the good news is that you can talk with God even right now, as He says in Isaiah 1:18-20:

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Don’t get devoured by the sword of the enemy such as ISIS, BOKO HARAM, Corrupt politicians, wicked men and women. Turn to Christ today and be saved and proclaim the good news to others.

ANOINTING TO SET THE OPPRESSED FREE

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 12:43:00 +0000

Anointing To Set The Opressed Free

There are a lot of people that are being oppressed especially in the name of religion throughout the world. The painful aspect of this is that some are even doing it in the name of Christ. Recently we read how some churches would deny their followers basic needs while the “Pharisee” in the church feast and enjoy themselves. Jesus said, not all that called me LORD, LORD shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, we therefore know what is prepared and waiting for those.

Our focus today is on the elect who are anointed to set the oppressed free. There are two types of oppression namely; spiritual oppression and physical oppression. We are called to set our brothers free from both types of oppression.

Acts 10:38: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

This anointing Jesus passed over to us as well before His departure from the earth. In order for us to set free those that are tormented by demons. This demon could manifest in several many forms, such as alcoholism and drunkenness, barrenness, unfruitfulness, ill health etc. It is our duty to ensure our brother receives the healing and are set free from all these types of oppression of the enemy.

Matthew 23:14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Jesus led the way in the above passage by showing how we should behave in the face of oppression. Some Churches and political leaders as so greedy, they would take all and leave the masses to suffer. Most of the time, what they steal they cannot spent in their life time, neither can their children. Yet the saints keep quite? No. it is time to speak out and ensure your voice is heard.

In Africa, the story is worse, while the established churches and elders look the other way, money voted for roads, hospitals, housing, portable water etc are all stolen. The thieves thereafter turn around and use the same common wealth stolen from the people to hire police and other law enforcement agents to harass the poor into submission. The more worrisome aspect is the fact that church pastors that should be at the forefront condemning the thieves are busy collect 10% of the loot as tithes and donations.

We must remember that Jesus has passed the anointing to us to set free, we there must not keep quite while many die of hunger because of corruption, and the wealth of the nations are stolen by few, and our roads becomes dead traps, while the hospitals are simply mega mortuaries. The time for you standup for your brother is now, set them free from oppression of all kinds within your reach power.

The following are ways you could be of help:

1. Prayers for those in oppression especially in places like Syria, Nigeria, Pakistan etc

2. Donate to help those in oppression. Identify organizations that genuinely help set brothers and sisters free from oppression and donate to the cause. You may check some of the these and donate through any that you are confortable with.Christian Aid,ActionAid

3. Speak out against oppression of your fellow workers in the vineyard of the Lord

4. Condemn those that practice iniquity and refuse to be associated with them even in your local church.

As you help set the oppressed free, God will set you free from every oppression is Jesus name. Amen!

ANOINTING TO RESTORE SIGHT TO THE BLIND

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Sat, 02 Apr 2016 10:05:00 +0000

Anointing To Restore Sight To The Blind

One of the anointing that we have through Christ Jesus is the anointing to restore sight to the blind, to help those that cannot see to clearly be able to see. There are two types of blindness; physical and spiritual blindness. Of this two, spiritual blindness is more severe as it would lead to eternal damnation. We therefore will focus our attention on it, knowing however, that we have been empowered and anointed to heal the physical loss of sight as Jesus did on several occasions as well.

To be spiritually blind is to be disconnected from your source. Reconnection became very difficult before the coming of Christ Jesus, but Christ opens the doors of grace unto us that we may restore sights to the spiritually blind.

“I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord…” Zephaniah 1:17

Sin brings about separation from God and ultimately, Spiritual blindness. This is one of the ills we Christians are called and anointed to correct in the name of Jesus. Have you wondered why what is very plain to you as day, are so very difficult for the world to understand? You believe that Jesus is the Son of God; you believe that one can be healed in His name; you believe that demons tremble at the mention of His name; you believe that a mountain would move by faith, you lay your hands on the sick by faith and they are healed, you command witchcraft to be destroyed and they are destroyed, you could communicated with a birth and a tree and have a conversation with your heavenly Father. But the spiritually blinded thinks you are a fool and should probably get something reasonable to do. Yet, we are called to help them see.

“Isaiah 29:18 in that the day…the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness”

That day is today. The acceptable year of the Lord, when the blind receives sight by the power in the name of Jesus through you, and the sinner abandons his sinful ways and reconnects to His maker. When we allow the world to lead, we are more or less allowing the blind to lead the blind and will both fall into the ditch-Matthew 15:14. We therefore must intensify our reach to the unsaved and tell them about the saving grace of Jesus and power that He has given those that believed on His name.

“Job 29:15 I was eyes to the blind and I was feet to the lame”

Like Job, we must become the eyes through which those that are blind could see. As salts of the earth, the blind must see the goodness and kindness of God through us, and the signs that would make them believe that indeed we serve the living God. We must therefore marry the word with action tailored toward helping the blind to see and save them from eternal death.

ANOINTING TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 12:33:00 +0000

Anointing To Proclaim Liberty To The Captives

There two types of captives; lawful and unlawful captives. While the world may be proud in keeping lawful captives, Christians are not to hold others captive, rather, when are to proclaim their liberty throughout the land.

In the Old Testament era, specific period was set aside to proclaim liberty to all captives:

“Leviticus 25:10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants…”

Freeing captives is very important, so much so that the heavenly father deemed it necessary to institute a law to set free all captives on each jubilee. We are meant to show empathy, to write off debts, forgive those that may have wronged us, and generally give each other a clean slate to start over. This very important commandment was further broadened when Jesus came, announcing that He has come to “proclaim liberty to the captive”, Which He carried excellently to the admiration and astonishment of all. This assignment, like others, He passed to us to continue in His name.

What does it therefore mean to set captive free?

Tell them about the salvation that is available in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, get them to believe and be baptized into the kingdom as citizens.
Provide for the needy and genuinely care for the poor, giving a helping hand to the widow and the fatherless
Supporting those in prison emotionally and materially to help them work out their salvation
Standing in the gap spiritually to deliver those held captive by the devil, conducting deliverance where necessary through prayers and fasten.
Show kindness and love to all manner of men irrespective of colour, race or religion.

Doing the above make you son/daughter of your heavenly father. A story is told recently of two teenage girls that left a service where their pastor had preached that they have the anointing to set the captive free. Few minutes away from the church as they were going home, they saw a mad man. They both turned to each, and one of the girls said, 'this is an opportunity to see whether what the pastor said is possible.' And so she looked directly at the mad man and told him, be healed in the name of Jesus. Instantly, the man regains his senses and began to ask where he was and who took him there.

It may seem impossible but remember “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” Believe and act on your anointing; proclaim liberty to both lawful and unlawful captives today.

ANOINTING TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 11:50:00 +0000

Anointing To Heal The Brokenhearted

Mark 16: 18b says “They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Are you a kingdom citizen, do you believe in Jesus, and have you been baptized of water and of the Holy Ghost? The word of God says, if you believe, you shall lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover.

Today, we are focusing on the brokenhearted. A lot of our brothers and sisters are brokenhearted as result of our actions, inaction, and or their own actions. Whichever is the case, we are supposed to heal them of whatever is it that breaks their hearts by giving a helping hand, that hand that heals.

“Acts 4:32& 35b Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul; neither did any say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common…and they distributed to each as anyone had need.”

A lot of our brothers are in genuine need of our help and eagerly look forward to it believing that we would obey the Word of our heavenly Father concerning them, but are daily been disappointed because it is now obvious to them that we do not care about them neither do we care about the Word. We pick and choose which to obey and disobey, making the Word of God of no effect.

Now the bible clearly says that faith without action is dead. But a lot of us are so concerned about ourselves and immediate family that we have forgotten others and in the process disappointed them in ways that leaves them heartbroken. We simply do not care about others, and their pains. How is it that in parts of the world, children are in prison with their mothers? Did the child commit a crime as well? Yet we go to church to sing sweet melodies, pay tithes and give offerings.

“Isaiah 1:17 learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow”

Obeying the Word of God in Isaiah 1:17 above, qualify you as someone with anointing to heal the brokenhearted, and lift them to their ordained position in life. The widow, the fatherless and the poor has no one to fight their cause. When you choose to stand against those that may oppress them, you make yourself an extension of God right hand, with the ability to heal in ways the world would not be able to comprehend.

Choosing to fight on the side of the wick and making yourself available as battle axe of the Lord makes your invisible. The enemy will not know how you are doing it, but will marvel that you are always getting the desired results. This is because it’s the Lord that is fighting through you. The battle is His, you only need to make yourself available and He will sanctify and use you in ways beyond your imagination.

Do not keep quite as from today, stand your grand against those that bully the wick, the poor, widows and the fatherless. Doing so fulfills your divine call and anointing to heal the brokenhearted.

ANOINTING TO PREACH THE WORD

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Sat, 27 Feb 2016 18:56:00 +0000

Anointing to Preach The Word

Every child of God that has been Baptist received the anointing to preach the Word of God. The anointing received at baptism gives you the boldness and power even in a face of danger to profess Christ. Acts 1: 8 says:

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me …to the end of the earth”

This power you receive when Baptist by the Holy Ghost enables you to witness without fear or favor and without worrying about political correctness. It doesn’t matter the language or grammar. What is important to you is the salvation of the soul of the persons been preached to and for the sinner to turn away from his sinful ways and accept Christ.

In Acts 2:1-47, Peter who had previously denied Jesus out of fear for his life, delivered a sermon so powerful, the church of Christ instantly began to grow. After this, signs and wonders followed them wherever they went. There are numerous examples of authority and boldness received by God’s children to preach the Words of God upon receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. However, a lot of Christians are now so focused on their selfish benefits of the Kingdom, that they have left this very important assignment to those with the title of priest, pastor or evangelist.

The question now is; do you love Jesus? He said, “if you love me, obey my commandments”. You cannot claim to love Jesus but refuses to obey Him. The bible says ‘obedience is better than sacrifice.’ It’s time to activate the dormant anointing, before it’s retrieved and given to another kingdom citizen. In Revelation 3:15 & 16 Jesus says:

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish that you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”

Don’t get spewed. For those that may say ‘I am not good at preaching’, please note that you do not need to be an orator, you only need to allow the Holy Spirit speak through you. Once you open you mount to speak, the Holy Spirit will fill it with Heavenly messages to His children that you probably would be shocked when you watch the recorded sermon. Our prayers today is that the anointing to preach and make disciples of all nations deposited during baptism in you will be activated today in Jesus name.

KINGDOM ANOINTING FOR DIVINE ASSIGNMENTS-INTRODUCTION 2

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Thu, 25 Feb 2016 09:46:00 +0000

Kingdom Anointing For Divine Assignments-Introduction 2

Once you have been Baptist, the anointing you receive works a number of things in you. One of such is to preach the good news of the kingdom. This task is one of the most important tasks for all Christians. However, many have left it to pastors and evangelists. Jesus charged us in Matthew 28:19-20 to go into the world and make disciples of nations and to teach them to observe all things He commanded.

There are a numbers of things that must be followed through in order for the assignment to be considered achieved in line with the guideline provided by Christ:

The people preached to may accept Jesus and be Baptist in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Most churches are so eager to grow membership of their church that they seem to forget or de-emphasis the importance of baptism. The new convert don’t get to hear about baptism until its too late. He or she begins to backslide because the person never received the Holy Ghost in the first place; who would have made him or her invisible to the power of the enemy.

Baptism grants a person a status of an ambassador. Just as we have in earthly kingdoms and countries. Infact, the idea for ambassadorial positions is actually copied from the Kingdom government and systems.

As an ambassador on earth, you represent the government of Heaven on earth but not a citizen of earth. Secondly, you are not subject to the earthly laws and rules. In the physical realm, you will try and respect your host country the same way Jesus respected the ruler of the day and paid His taxes, and asked that we give unto authority what belongs to an authority.

In the Spirit, you are fully in charge. In John 3:8 Jesus said:

“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

You are so powerful that witchcraft and ocultic powers cannot summon you to their altar. You have the power as ambassador to build and to destroy as led, by merely making a pronouncement, or acting in confidence and obedience. Consider the examples of Moses in the Exodus story, how by simply saying or acting in obedience, what he has in mind manifested. Also, consider the instruction of Joshua to the sun to stand still until he completed his kingdom assignment. Elijah, by his word, was able to destroy military men who had wanted to arrest him. The miraculous escape from prison by the disciples etc. all point to the fact that those born of the Spirit are indeed invisible and protected from the works of the enemy as they go about their kingdom assignments.

Teach them to Obey God’s Commands: Those that accept Christ as a result of your preaching must be taught to observe and obey every commandment of the Lord.

While some might think that it’s impossible to obey every commandment of the Lord, it is not. Jesus made us understand that nothing is impossible for them that believe. As the anointing is received through baptism, the recipient is automatically empowered to act with the authority of God through Christ Jesus. The anointing and the works that it performs through you would form the basis of our further discussions in this series.

KINGDOM ANOINTING FOR DIVINE ASSIGNMENTS-INTRODUCTION

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 18:57:00 +0000

Kingdom Anointing For Divine Assignments-Introduction

As we deal on the divine anointing series, it’s our prayers that God will transform you and bestows on you an everlasting anointing that will change your world. Now the purpose of these series is to show us how, by connecting to our source, we are enabled by the same anointing that Jesus had when He walked the earth and the purpose for the anointing.

The anointing of God upon our lives is to achieve the same things and produce similar results achieved by Jesus. Jesus Himself left us this anointing when He went to be at the right Hand of His Father. In John 17:18, Jesus clearly spoke to His Father that we have been sanctified by His Word through Him and sent. Just as the Father sanctified and sent Him, we are also sanctified and sent.

Jesus speaking in John 14:12-14 says;

“Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father, and whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the son. If you ask any thing in my name I will do it.”

In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus expressly transferred the authority He received from His Father to us. We are to use it and teach others to observe and use it as well:

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

The guidelines for carrying out the assignment, using the authority can be found in Luke 10:2-12.

We mentioned earlier that Jesus sanctified and sent you on assignment, this sanctification works the following in you:

Ø It makes you a Kingdom citizen, who is simply an ambassador on earth.

Ø It makes you invisible. Invisibility here connotes the ability to operate unhindered and in any environment on earth and unstoppable by forces of evil

Ø The sanctification is a proof that the Holy Spirit works in you

Once you are able to recognize the above sanctification in your life, then you have been anointed to carryout special duties for God on earth. We are going to be discussing the special duties enabled by the anointing in the series.

ARE YOU SHOWING LOVE?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:26:00 +0000

Are You Showing Love?
God so love the world that He came down in himself to redeem us to His kingdom. He dedicated His life throughout His physical stay with us to 'doing good' wherever he went: He healed the sick, feed the poor, and share the good news of the Kingdom to all and sundry.

His love for mankind endeared Him to all except, the lovers of the world who allowed themselves to be used of the devil to actualize God's divine plans for us. No wonder the bible says that all things work for our good. Before His departure to be at the right hand of His Father, He commanded us to obey His commandments. There is no coercion in the commandment; rather, the requirement for His commandment is to love. For He said;' If you love me, keep my commandments'.

The question we are asking ourselves today is; do we really love Christ? To truthfully answer this question, you will need to ask yourself another question; are you in obedience to the word of God? Below are ways to know whether or not you are obeying the word of God, which ultimately shows whether or not you love your neighbors and your God:

John 15:12 says; "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." To love one another is to:

A. Feed the hungry

B. Provide drink to the thirsty

C. Provide shelter for the stranger

D. Provide clothing for the naked

E. Visit the sick and those in prison

Are you engaged in some or all of the above right now? If not, you need to begin to show love by adhering to all of the above. The consequence of ignoring this acts of love is made clear by Jesus Himself in Matthew 7:26 "But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on a sand" Please read the Blessing of the obedience to the words of Christ in the same Matthew 7: 24-25.

As you show obedience to the words of Christ in this period that men celebrate lust instead of love, God will bless you richly above and beyond your imaginations in Jesus name.

GOD'S NATURE-INTEGRITY

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:12:00 +0000

God's Nature-Integrity

In the pursuit of knowledge to know oneself, it is very important to first know your source. In the book of Genesis, God breathed on you and gave you live, He afterwards gave you a Kingship authority to rule over the earth. You cannot however, rule apart from Him. Ruling apart from Him means to disconnect yourself from your source in disobedience.

Today, in a bid to know who we are, we are looking at one of the natures of God; Integrity. In the book of Numbers 23:19 the bible says, "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" Our God keeps to His words, His eternal plan will be fulfilled, though heaven and earth may pass away, but His word will remain forever.

Throughout the history of the world, God never disappoint His people. His promise to Abraham was fulfilled in Isaac and Israel. He brought His chosen people out of the land of bondage to a land flowing with milk and honey. He warned them not to be involved in idolatry and wickedness, when they refused to listen, He sent them into exile. Our God can be depended upon for a long term plan, for His is a faithful God.

If God is in you, you are suppose to demonstrate His integrity in all circumstance, such that people of the world can identify Him in you. When people cannot take your words until they have someone else confirm what you say, then you do not have integrity, which is a nature of God that you must have to call yourself a child of God.

It is therefore instructive to know that part of the reason why you do not know who you are, is because you lack God's integrity. Therefore integrity must be a watch word for all you do going forward, as you enter this journey of self discovery. God will enlighten you in Jesus name. Amen.

DO YOU KNOW YOURSELF?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Sun, 22 Nov 2015 11:59:00 +0000

Do You Know Yourself?

Alot have been said and written concerning knowing oneself. The question we are asking today is whether or not as Christians, we know who we really are.

To know yourself, you really have to know what you are made of, your basic components. In order words, you really have to know your source. A meat-pie for instance can only be as good as the ingredients used to make it. You therefore can only know yourself when you know what is inside of you, and for you to know what is inside of you, you will have to ask your maker. Let me let you know that, our maker did not hide this information from us because He wants us to know who we are.

In Genesis chapter one, God created us in His image and likeness, in chapter two of the same Genesis, He breathed into man and man became a living being. From Genesis account of the bible:

1. You are created in the image and likeness of God; Meaning that you look exactly like Him

2. You are a living being using His breath; Meaning that your life is an extension of His.

Since you look like Him and are using a part of His life, it therefore follows that, for you to know yourself, you first have to know Him-His nature and attributes.

We therefore encourage you to begin your journey of self discovery from the Source and Creator of all things. You cannot know yourself without knowing God.

KINGDOM CITIZEN'S JOURNEY-THE JOSEPH EXPERIENCE

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 15:19:00 +0000

Kingdom Citizen's Journey-The Joseph Experience

Joseph was the favorite of his father but hated by his brothers because of his dreams. A very popular story in the old testament of the bible. It is very clear from the story that God intended for Joseph to save his immediate family and the known world at the time from an impending famine.

Therefore Joseph, a very important MAN who is to save the world from Famine had to become a slave primarily because he had to learn the ways of Egypt, without which he will not be able to serve in the capacity that was destined for him.

You may be going through similar circumstance today, and would feel that God is silent. Some would think that there is no God, because God will not allow certain things to happen to His children if He exist. But I tell you today, you must learn to keep faith with God as Joseph did. You should never compromise because you feel God is silent. He is silently lifting you to your ordained position as He did Joseph.

If you need to go to prison to become a president, then God will send you there. It may be that you feel enslaved by your current employer, well, if you are a Kingdom citizen, it definitely means that God wants you there at this particular point in time. He says in "Jeremiah 29:11 That I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

Joseph never question God, despite all his travails, he remained committed to the Words of God and God brought him to his expected end. Trust this God of Joseph to bring you to your life expectation. When you trust God, He gives you peace in all circumstances and ultimately will ensure victory for you. Just like Joseph, you need to keep faith with the promises of God concerning your life despite what you may be going through. You will end gloriously, that the name of your heavenly father may be glorified in Jesus name. Amen

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Mon, 29 Jun 2015 14:55:00 +0000

Are You A Christian?

This days, a lot of people call themselves christian simply because they go to church on Sundays. The question we are asking ourselves today is, who really is a christian and how can we identify one?

"And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Acts 11:26"

To be a christian really means to be sent to deliver the good news of the Kingdom to all. The disciples were called Christians because they behaved like Christ. What are the things Christ did when He walked the earth? He preached and teach the Gospel of the Kingdom, He healed the sick and deliver the demon possessed, He feed the poor and granted us salvation etc.

The disciples in Antioch that were first called Christians, were engaged in similar activities, which reminded the people of what they probably have heard or seen about Christ and therefore referred to them as Christ likes.

When in the Kingdom, you are in the father and the father is in you through Christ Jesus, therefore, sin is far away from you, you are invisible because you are born of the Holy Spirit, you have dominion and powers and can exercise authority over principalities and powers. Those that curse you are cursed and those that blesses you are blessed. God confirms your words just as He did that of Elijah, Moses, Peter, Paul etc. You are an angel sent to deliver good news and help the needy. You teach about the good news and bring men and women into the Kingdom daily.

Reflect on the above, does it reflect the kind of life you are living right now. Jesus said if you see Him, you have seen the Father. Since we are in Him and He in us as Christians, can the world identify HIM (Christ) in our lives? You cannot call yourself a Christian while you indulge in sinful acts. A Christian must imbibe the following:

1. Love God above all.

2. Love his neighbor as himself.

3. Be willing to give to those that may not be able to repay.

4. Tell others about the Kingdom.

5. Obey God commandments.

It may seem difficult, but you have been sanctified to carryout this responsibilities and live a godly life (John 17:19), you only need to trust Him to lead you on the right path.

BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 22 Apr 2015 09:39:00 +0000

Blood On Your Hand?

Every pastor, priest or prophet that makes money the focal points of their teachings have a blood on his or her hands. When you talk excessively on money and wealth, to the detriment of the kingdom, you are a murderer. When you teach for pay and give judgement for a bribe, you are inviting God's judgement on the people you lead.

It is explicit what the bible says: "...Her heads judge for a bribe, her priest teach for pay, and her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, and say is not the Lord among us? No harm can come upon us".

Why deceive the very people you are called to lead into the Kingdom? Why not the Kingdom first? Why not salvation and righteousness? Why the craze to be named among the richest people in the world while your followers’ lives below the poverty line? The early Christians live their lives for others, sharing all that they had with the brethren. "The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul: neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they all had things in common...Nor was there anyone among them who lacked."

Today, the churches built using the generous giving and donations of members and non members have been converted to personal use by pastors, prophets and priest, denying the true owners of the church access to their contributions. Churches now own universities that their members cannot afford to send their children because of the exorbitant fees. It is now common place for a pastor to own private jet while members of his church cannot feed themselves.

What is in vogue now is 'operations show your tithe card'. A lot of churches today will have nothing to do with you if your tithe card doesn't show that you have paid your tithe up-to date. While they go about telling people not to criticize the so called anointed men of God, they themselves will not leave their members to God's judgement but would deny them services that are supposed to be free of charge.

Now because of pastors, priests and prophets' wickedness, this is God's judgement: "Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins...Micah 2:12" For daring to lean on God after collecting money for services that you were sent to provide for free, making God's children believe in lies, and helping them to pursue things that leads to dead, the blood of those that have died without Christ are in your hands, and God will require it of you.

It is time to live our lives in accordance with God's commandments.

THE NEW COMMANDMENT

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:33:00 +0000

The New Commandment

"John 12:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, as I have loved you"

I whole bunch of the Christian community are going contrary to Jesus commandment. 'By their fruits we shall know them' says the bible; it is therefore simple to know in our generation who are children of the devil and those who are children of God. Children of God lives righteously and loves their neighbours while children of the devil are involved in disobedience and hate for their neighbours see 1John 3:10-23.

For you to love your neighbour in totality, you must first avoid "the lust of the fresh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life." all of which are of the world. Remember that you are not of the world but a kingdom citizen; an ambassador on planet earth. You therefore to live your life in the service of your neighbour wherever you find yourself as commanded by Jesus.

To love your neighbour means to:

1. Help him who is in need.

2. Tell him about the kingdom and eternal life in Christ Jesus.

3. Do nothing to harm him

4. Say nothing that could harm him

5. Do not envy him

There are three things that abides, "but the greatest of these is love-1 Corinthians 13:13", "for the law is fulfilled in one word: You shall love your neighbour as yourself-Galatians 5:14". Why then do we still hate and kill? Some even kill in the name of God. You cannot claim to love your neighbour and at the same time kill him that you are sent to save.

"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer-1John 3:15" Those that have continued to seek payback and hates their brothers are actually considered murderers. You are therefore admonished to change your ways, obey Jesus commandment to love your neighbours.

You cannot claim to love God when you don't love your neighbour. In fact, the bible calls him a liar that claims to love God and hates his brother. Jesus said "if you love me, you will keep my commandment" Do you love Jesus? Obey His commandment today, show love to your neighbour.

IS JESUS ENOUGH?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:13:00 +0000

Is Jesus Enough?

'John 15: 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends' Despite Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our redemption, a lot of Christian still go about searching for answers in things or fellow human, instead of abiding in Christ. Traditions and lusts have been promoted in some instances above Christ to the detriment of God's children kingdom life, promised by Jesus.

The lust for personal wealth instead of collective wealth has taken over the church, so much that pastors no longer think about the poor in the society or even in their congregation, but rather about themselves. Riding in posh vehicles and private jets is now the order of the day. According to these flamboyant pastors, a pastor that is poor is not called by God.

While, we certainly believe that God's children (the righteous) will never 'beg for bread', it is absolutely wrong for a pastor to buy, (for his personal use) a jet while the sheep that he is called to shepherd goes hungry, sometimes for days without food.

Politician goes to church in the day time and visit demonic shrines at night. They love the front sits, to show off their ill gotten wealth, but will simply tell you that true Christianity is for the poor. Some are still sacrificing to idols for things that are theirs by right.

'We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all' and therefore need not sacrifice our eternity in the Kingdom for money, houses, cars, jets etc. Your focus always should be Jesus as the vine and you as the branch. Abide in Him that you may yield much fruits for the Kingdom and not just yourself. Do not add satanic worship, unacceptable sexual practices etc in order to acquire wealth. Jesus is the Lord, focus on Him and will soon discover that He is Enough.

WHO OR WHAT IS YOUR FIRST LOVE?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 11 Feb 2015 15:05:00 +0000

Who Or What Is Your First Love?

In this month of love, who is it that you would profess your love to? Who is your first love? The sin of the church of Ephesus was that they left their first love. Revelation 2:4. Have you left your first love?

The first and most important commandment is: “You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” Jesus termed this commandment the most important of all. It therefore means that our first love is God.

A lot of our brothers have gone astray chasing after material possessions, positions in the society and money. These things they now love so much to the neglect of their first love, and still hope in vain that God will be with them, that He will answer their prayers. God ask Ezekiel: “Son of Man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?” God went ahead to say that those that do that will be made a sign and a proverb in order to ensure others don’t go astray.

Why chase after these worldly possessions when it is yours by right? In Ephesians 1:3 the bible tells us that we have already been blessed in the heavenly realm. This means that, as a kingdom citizen, you are already blessed and a blessing. Whatever you do will blossom; you need not make them your idol and love them more than your God.

Seek first the Kingdom by loving and doing His will and you shall have all you ever wanted, by simply asking Him for it. Romans 8:28 tells us that “And we know that all things work together for the good of those who love God…” So, why love all these things, when loving only God would open the door to all other things for your pleasure?

If you love wife/husband, money, house and any other material possession more than God, you are not worthy of the Kingdom, and the Kingdom will reject you in the last day. Go back to your first love and you shall begin to experience divine fruitfulness in every area of your life.

Jesus said “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you, abide in my love.” Chose to love God and abide in His love and all things shall work for your lifting in Jesus name. Amen.

IS DIVORCE A SIN?

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 10:37:00 +0000

Is Divorce A Sin?

Much of the world no longer takes God’s words seriously. Most people claim to be Christians but inwardly are serving other gods of their own desire. As Jesus said; they serve God with their lips but their hearts is far away from him. They deliberately disobey Him and then come out to say He is a merciful God, full of compassion and ever willing to forgive. They assume they could therefore deliberately continue in their sin and still make heaven, because God always forgives. As Apostle Paul said; God forbid that we should we continue in sin that grace abounds.

One of the ways Christians are disobeying God is through divorce. Jesus instructions on divorce are very clear, yet Christians blatantly flout it and then go to church the next day to sing hallelujah to the King. Who are you deceiving?

In Matthew 5:32-33 Jesus said “It hath been said, whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement, but I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committed adultery.

It’s now common to hear some people say ‘I no longer love my wife’. Each time I hear this statement, I marvel, in that the bible recorded that while we are yet in sin, Jesus came and died, so we might be redeemed to God the father. But for whatever selfish reason, some people will choose to divorce their wife. To love the wife unconditionally as Christ loves us, goes out the window. The bible says; ..’In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Since God did not sanction divorce, why are Christians involved in it in direct violation of Jesus’ commands? The bible says the soul that sin shall die. Divorce is a sin and those involved may spend their eternity in hell. I therefore urge those considering divorce to go to God in prayers for a solution to whatever marital challenges they may be going through.

In order to prevent and eliminate the chances of divorce, those looking for their life partner should ask themselves these questions before going to the altar:

If I were to discover a dark secret about the person I am about to get married to, what will be my reaction?
What if the person turns out to be a pathological liar, a thief, a womanizer etc?
What if the person has an accident and is amputated as a result?
Will I be willing to love him or her unconditionally until death?

While it may be easy to live with and love someone that is amputated as result of accident, it may not be very easy to live with a thief. I would therefore urge the following for every Christian:

Pray and personally have God’s leading before going to the altar.
Find out all you could about your partner before proposing or accepting a marriage proposal.
Do not think you could change your partner’s bad habit after marriage if God did not expressly say so.

The bible told us that he, who finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord. Since God intends marriage to be a blessing, Christians must work in love as we journey together in our marriage, obtaining God’s favour and grace in all that pertains to our home and marriage.

My prayer for all married couple out there is that you shall enjoy your marriage and obtain the favours promised by the King of kings and Lord of lords.

RESTITUTION FOR SIN 1

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:05:00 +0000

Restitution For Sin 1

Instances abounds in the bible of people; committed men of God that somehow got themselves involved in sins, and how God made them pay for it even though they were forgiven after showing remorse. Examples of such men includes king David, apostle Paul, the entire nation of Israel etc. In the case of David, first he lost his son for committing murder, and his son had sexual intercourse with his concubines in a public glare for committing adultery.

But the church today shield criminals in the name of repentance. Some of these criminals have been publicly investigated and found guilty with evidence that they themselves have confessed to, yet the church is not taking steps to ensure the stolen wealth is restored to the rightful owners.

Imagine for a second that one of Jesus apostles was caught stealing, while others engage in sexual sins and other manner of sins, do you honestly think that we would have Christianity today? Yes, Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, but certainly those that are right inside the church praying and fasting but refused to change and embrace Christ, can only do harm than good. if they are allowed to continue in the church will likely infect the citizens with virus that may not be cured before Jesus returns.

Some would ague that Jesus came to call sinners to repentance, and even dine with some of them. True, but the sinners that Jesus dined with came to repentance. One of them was a tax collector named Zacchaeus: “And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, the half of all my goods I gave to the poor: and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.-Luke19:8”. C’mon now church, let us leave out the people that are not of our faith a moment. How comes this guys that have stolen so much money from the country; money meant for construction of roads, schools, medical facilities and other basic amenities still members of your church? At least the entire nation knows they have stolen, why are they not returning the money they have looted?

Zacchaeus confessed his sins openly, pay back every persons he cheated and gave half of all he own to the poor to show his genuine repentance. Why have your own followers (obviously they are not Jesus followers.) refused and are still refusing to return the money they looted? Is this attitude as a result of the wrong doctrine you have fed them?

The church must expose evil doers and workers of iniquity that have refused to repent of their sins. He who has stolen should return that which he stole. The only exception is if what was stolen is no-longer in existence.

GREEDINESS IN THE LAND

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:46:00 +0000

Greediness In The Land

'Job 24: Some remove landmarks; they seize flocks violently...They push the needy off the road, all the poor of the land are forced to hide.'

The excessive desire to never be poor in life, live in opulence, save enough for the children and grand children etc have push many to do the unimaginable. The story is the same from Darfur, to Nigeria and most countries of the world especially in Africa. The poor bears the brunt of the excesses of the rich and criminally minded individuals and governments allover the world.

Richer governments and individuals grab lands or properties (especially when it contains something they considered valuable) that's not theirs and would kill the people if they dire ask questions or challenge them. They would lie, kill or destroy any one or anything that stands in the way of their greediness. Covetousness is in their DNA. Every thing good that they sited, they must have, and if they cannot afford it, they would steal or kill to get it.

Isaiah 56:11 has this to say concerning those that are greedy; 'Yes, they are all greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain...' In Isaiah above, the bible liking greedy men to dogs and shepherds without knowledge understanding of his roles. Why do you want everything for yourself and family? Why steal when your heavenly father told you not to worry about tomorrow? You just need to ask Him.

Moneys meant for road constructions, provision of health care facilities and other infrastructural developments are been stolen in Africa by few men, just to satisfy their greed, while their accomplices in the churches collects 10% bribes and call it tithes. God does not accept stolen money as tithes and paying 10% out of the stolen money to a church does not in any save anyone from the coming wrath of God.

Repent today, and like zacchaeus the tax collector, return that which you have stolen. Your heavenly Father is able to provide all your needs according to His riches in glory.

SEEK GOD 2

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Sat, 13 Dec 2014 10:04:00 +0000

Seek God 2

‘Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God…1 Chronicles 22:19a.’ As kingdom citizens, you are to set your heart and soul to seek God daily, in all things giving Him praises. Joshua advised the children of Israel to meditate in the law of the Lord day and night. God told us in Jeremiah that in the latter days, he will write His laws in our hearts, enabling us to serve and worship Him without confusion.

Why then do we have confusions everywhere in the body of Christ? This is as result of the people not seeking God but miracles and wealth. In order words, they are not motivated by eternal life in Christ to worship God but a brand of Jesus that keep witch craft at bay, provide government jobs without interviews and create avenues for stealing the collective wealth of the nation. This misplaced priority has resulted in Christians losing the vital gift of the Holy Spirit that should ordinarily be at work in them, to discern which prophet and prophetic message is of God. Consequently, my brethren can no longer hear God or have never heard God, and therefore have to depend on a pastor for all things pertaining to the scripture and God’s will concerning their lives.

‘Deuteronomy 4:29…Seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.’ You have a responsibility to seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul while He can still be found. Eternity with Jesus as King should be what matters to you not wealth and miracles. The Psalmist say ‘I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.’ Why are you then so concerned about your future in the world to the detriment of your eternity with Christ? Jesus said you should not concern yourself with what you would eat or wear or drink for your heavenly father already knows your needs. Yet you don’t trust Him but go to church and visit prophets in His name to solve your financial and health issues without a thought for the Kingdom.

Look at it this way; imagine telling a member of your family, say your uncle that you don’t trust Him, yet you go to Him to beg for money for your school fee or to pay your house rent. Would your uncle oblige you? I doubt. The same applies with God. Jesus told you in the Gospel to seek the Kingdom (God), and once in, every other thing shall be added unto you. Why are you disobeying Him? Why look for shortcut when the actual process to legally obtain from the Kingdom is not much longer than the shortcut you are using that is not yielding any fruitful results?

WALKING IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 11:01:00 +0000

Walking In The Light Of The Lord

'...come let us walk in the light of the LORD Isaiah 2:5'. It is time to work in the light of the Lord. When the children of Israel left the land of Egypt, the Lord provided physical lights to guide them both day and night. In our days, God has provided the Holy Spirit to be our guide. The bible says, 'God is spirit' and those that worship must do so 'in the Spirit'. The question therefore is how do you walk in His light?

Galatians 4:6 says; 'And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba Father". You can only work in the light of the Lord when you have the Holy Spirit in you, and you can only have the Holy Spirit when have entered the Kingdom, further, you can only enter the Kingdom when you have repented of your sins and 'put on Christ' through baptism.

What it means to work in the light of the Lord as Christians:

1. Let people know you by your good fruit: You must consistently live a good life, showing good examples worthy of Christ. You are the 'salt of the earth' and must show others the righteous path.

2. Obedience: You must live life in obedience to the Words of God, whether or not it conforms with what others expects.

3. Give to those in need: The bible says, it better to give than to receive. Don't just receive, form the habit of giving.

4. Prayers: Pray ceaselessly for the expansion of the Kingdom, for your brethren, and for yourself, and in all things giving thanks to the Lord.

5. Love your neighbors: As commanded by God, you must love your neighbors as yourself, for as apostle Paul said '...Have fervent love for one another, for, "love will cover a multitude of sins".

We pray that you walk in the light of Jesus this day and forever. Amen!

SEEK GOD

noreply@blogger.com (KINGDOM MESSAGE) — Wed, 10 Dec 2014 08:04:00 +0000

Seek God

Some scribes and Pharisees asked Jesus for a sign and He answered them saying 'an evil and adulterous generation seek after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of prophet Jonah. Matt 12:38-38'

The bane of today’s Christianity is the seek for powers and signs, ignoring the gift and power of the Holy Spirit in us. A lot of Christians have conveniently forgotten His sacrifice for mankind on the cross and would rather seek a sign before they would believe. Well, Jesus said in the above passage that the only sign you will get is His death and resurrection. The bible says in Isaiah 'unto us a child is given...' God gave Him to us as a sign that all who believes in Him may have eternal life. He died that we may be saved, He defeated the powers that held us capture and set us free from the power of sin and death.

Do you then still need to seek more signs? Seek the Lord and you will find Him. If you seek signs, you are likely to miss the Kingdom as those miracles you seek as signs may likely become an idol to you; an item you preferred to God. We all have already been blessed in Christ Jesus in the heavenly realms, we therefore no-longer need proof but must work in the Holy Spirit to discern His intentions for us, His powers that works in us, His grace for us, His purpose for our lives, His undying love for us, His faithfulness toward us, His unmerited favors for us, His mercies that surpasses all understanding for us.

Don't you know that you are sign unto the world? God uses your redemption through the sacrifice of Jesus, and your daily living as you rise with Him through baptism as a sign that the world may see your righteous works and repent of its evil ways. Learn of him therefore, and you sure can use His powers which He has freely given unto to you to exercise on planet earth, rather than seek after signs and powers that you already have in you.
