OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE!

You don’t mind getting up, putting your best clothes on to get to church to worship, yet neglecting the simple instructions He gives you such as waking up to spend time in His presence, reading His word and submitting to Him, your leaders and your husband. When it comes to loving those who rub you the wrong way and forgiving those who step on your toes, you’re not inclined to doing that

ROLL AWAY THE STONE!

What is stinking in your life? Is it the sex life in your marriage which is suffering? Your marriage is on the rocks yet you pretend in public. Your extravagant life is all on credit, you’re up to your neck in debt, yet you’re keeping false appearances. You know you’re under serious demonic oppression, yet you’re covering up by dancing and shouting instead of seeking for deliverance. You’re probably also living with offense, unforgiveness and bitterness in your heart against someone. And you want to experience the resurrection power of the Lord in your life but you’re too proud to let it go. The bottom line is that you’re hurting yourself.

NOT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD! (2)

The LORD is looking to and fro, in search of whom He will show Himself mightily in this end-time. But He will not see and choose as the world sees, but by His Spirit will search the heart. If He finds your heart pure with Him, then you will find favor with Him.
If you know you have fallen short in His glory, don’t cover it up. People of God, come unto him with a repentant heart and He will restore you. You might be influencing people with your words; with how long you’ve been in the ministry. You are glittering in the sight of men with titles, but you know you are not standing right with God spiritually; the Spirit of God has departed from you.

NOT ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD! (1)

Many in the church are deceived. They are as the servants of Saul, going with him into battles which the LORD has never backed. Just like the servants of Saul, many of us are ignorant. Let the eyes of our understanding be enlightened, that we may know the hope of our calling which is to be like Jesus. Yet, if the leader himself we look up to for this spiritual enlightenment is rejected of God, how can the eyes of our understanding be enlightened? With the absence of spiritual enlightenment, how then can we live a holy lifestyle? How can we know the true servant of God who carries God’s anointing or truth when all we look at is how well-dressed or theologically-sound the man or woman of God is, and deny the spirit-man that is at work in the person?

RAISE THE STANDARD! (1)

Jesus is not satisfied with a commitment that springs from a life of worldliness (James 4:4). There are many dedicated and diligent believers yet very worldly in nature. Biblical Christianity has declined in our era because our pews are filled with carnal believers who refuse to move into the mountain of the Spirit. Whatever has been birthed in the wrong location of the flesh has no spiritual significance before God. It is very important that we realize that our spiritual location will determine our acceptance or rejection by God. Your spiritual location dictates the state of your morality.

LIVING IN AUTHORITY – PART 5 (CHARACTER OF A SCRIBE)

Our “scribes” have made people to believe it takes long prayers for God to do anything. I believe in sacrifice and perseverance but that is not the only way God operates. They have nullified the simplicity of the gospel to exploit people. There are ministers who scare people with demonic visions so they can exploit them to fulfill their selfish ambition. What will take a simple application of a spiritual principle, we ‘spiritualize’ and complicate with words that have no bearing to the situation so they can get people to depend on them. When they are not needed they feel threatened. Scribes have made Christianity tough and complicated. They do that so the spiritually weak will need them.

LIVING IN AUTHORITY – PART 4 (CHARACTER OF A SCRIBE)

Our scribal leaders are so captivated with titles to elevate themselves above others. They want their accolades to be ranted from the podium. Our leaders are puffed up with titles yet are void of spiritual authority to back it up. We have leaders who masquerade around with titles who don’t have the character to back it up. They bear the office but do not care about the responsibility of their office. They want the title of the calling but not the service of such calling. We have so much titles but not the corresponding services. We have much apostles than apostolic work.

LIVING IN AUTHORITY – PART 1

If Christ had taught them with just a revelatory message delivered with the right religious fervor, spiced with the excellence of rhetoric, He would not have been different from the scribes. Christ intentionally taught h is audience to be touched more by His authority rather than just the rhetoric and insights of His message. This distinguished him from the scribes.

DECEPTION OF THE NOISES – PART 3

All our spiritual expressions without Christ can only affect the outward senses. It will only take the Spirit of Christ to impact the spirit of man. Our eloquence, rhetoric is only able to touch the intellect, stimulate the emotions, strengthen the will but they fail to enter in to the spirit to impart life. Without the Spirit of Christ all our ministrations will be just soulical and peripheral. It takes the Spirit of Christ for the spirit of man to experience the things of God.

DECEPTION OF THE NOISES – PART 2

The indispensable character of divine love is that which makes valid all other spiritual expressions. Without it, our wonder working faith, devoted works avail nothing. The lack of godly love makes all other gifts without value. This is because godly love is the authentic proof of God’s presence. It takes God for one to express divine love. Hence lack of divine love indicates His absence. Without God, our thunderous “tongues”, deep revelations, transcendental wisdom, prophetic insight, self sacrifice etc has no spiritual impact. They are just like noisy resounding brass or a clanging cymbal. Though these expressions might sound powerful and godly, they cannot stand the aggression of the enemy at the day of adversity.
