THE WORD, the truth

-

Titus 1:1-3

This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives.

This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began.

And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.


The sender, the deliverer and the message. The Sender is the Heavenly Father, the deliverer are those who He has saved and called and the message is eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son.


2 Corinthians 5:19-21

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.


Thus though He was held as a prisoner, he could not be stopped from carrying the message, because NO ONE can stop God's work:


Acts 28:30-31

For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him,

boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.


So who is that person who tries to fault the message, that is collaborated by many, authenticated by the Heavenly Father Himself and revealed by the Holy Spirit.


See in many religions today, the message is centered on one man, who claimed to receive revelation from heaven or an angel, today they try to use the bible to convince themselves and others that the revelation is true. But scriptures do not need collaboration from other books, NO:


John 17:17

Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth.


2 Corinthians 13:8

For we cannot oppose the truth, but must always stand for the truth.

John 14:6

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.


It does not need a particular language or a particular way of saying it to make it true (what a mundane), He is powerful in Himself, for the Word of God is actually a person bigger than angels, God Himself:


Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.


My believing and your belief is not what authenticated HIM, HE is TRUE:


John 1:1-4

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He existed in the beginning with God.

God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.

The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.


In John chapter 5, Christ was speaking to the Jewish leaders about Himself, but they were so blinded as some are blinded today:


John 5:34,36-37,39,45-47

Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved.

But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me.

And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face,

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

“Yet it isn’t I who will accuse you before the Father. Moses will accuse you! Yes, Moses, in whom you put your hopes.

If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me.

But since you don’t believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”


Simple, if You don't see Christ in all scriptures you are yet to understand scriptures. Selah.


So hold on to truth and live in the power of the only one truth. Don't spend time in the unnecessary argument, instead DO the work of an evangelist and fulfil ministry.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
