NEVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE

-

1 Peter 1:23

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.


The fact that we live in an earthy world, that is of the flesh does not mean we should forget what became of us when we came to the Heavenly Father through the Son. The ignorance of it or the lack of it's consciousness is what gives the enemy room to plant doubts, uncertainty and even sinful thoughts in our mind.


When Jesus was about to finish His earthly ministry here on earth, He prayed:


John 17:15,20

I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. (. . . who will ever . . . Glory to God!)


I always remind people that it is not God's wish for us to just die and leave the scene, NO, He wants us to live our time and fulfil purpose, the same way He had the plan from the beginning before the first set messed up, by listening and submitting to the enemy's antics. 


Remember the whole goal of the enemy is to make you DOUBT (unbelieve) your true victorious identity, that you may fall.


Jesus said:


John 10:10

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.


Knowing this, I must guard my heart from all the antics and fully submit them to Christ Jesus for He is the Heavenly Father revealed. It gets better because He is revealed in us today by His Spirit. Glory to God.


Isaiah 59:21

"As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."


Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.


We need to remind ourselves that the only way to be God's child is our believing in His Son and accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour then He lives in us as the Holy Spirit. That was our salvation experience.


John 3:16

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.


John 1:12

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name:


Revelation 3:20

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.


Acts 2:38

Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.


So no one, after going through the experience, should allow any being question their citizenship. No.


Ephesians 2:19

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.


Many have not been properly taught about what happened to them in the spirit. That was what Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus and he found it too awesome to understand. Everyone called to salvation must have the understanding of what he or she becomes and the fullness of this new identity.


The Holy Spirit dwelling in anyone who is a child of God is an everyday experience, He is available to guide us in all we do and He builds us up daily in the character of God which is:


Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.


The Holy Spirit builds our spirit to display these true nature of God. Then He further empowers us with His gifts to excel in our endeavours, edify the church and minister salvation to others.


1 Corinthians 12:7

A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.


So we must understand our identity and it's truth is our victory everyday.


John 8:32

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”


Thank You Father for what You did for us in Christ Jesus.


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
