From Within

Just to go straight to the point. When a person gets born again, he or she receives a new spirit, and this new spirit which is the Spirit of Jesus comes with several characteristics within. As the person who is born again meditates on the new Spirit they have adopted (through the word of God), they grow and release the fruit of the Spirit which joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, and self control, which are all founded on love.

There are several gifts that come from within, (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11). So, why do those who are born again get agitated, is that part of the whole package?

One thing that we need to know is that there is no form of agitation in the Spirit inherited by those born again. So, when one is depressed or sad or angry or anything related to it, but born again, the agitated feeling and the characteristics inherited from the spirit aren't from the same source.

Let me explain. The Spirit inherited which includes the fruit and gifts of spirit come from within, but every form of agitation such as sadness, depression all come from outside, they weren't inherited and doesn't belong to the person who is born again.

So, being born again would imply that we shouldn't accept any form of agitation which is of the flesh. To live and walk by the Spirit would kick the agitated spirit away, (Galatians 5:16-18).

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Your Destiny, His Purpose

Whenever we hear the word destiny, many times we believe it is a fixed plan from God for us that cannot be changed. But that isn't true. 2 Peter 3:9 says, "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance." If God, who is all-knowing, wants everyone to repent because He cannot force us into repentance, does that imply that our destiny is in God's hands? No, it implies our destiny is in our hands.

Destiny implies a destination, which is based on choice. So, where does God fit into all this?

When God brought us into this world He made us with a purpose, and it is that purpose we are to fulfill, but fulfilling the purpose of our creation is by choice.

When we were born, we were born to a family, whether biological or Foster. It is the duty of our parents, in particular, to set our hearts in line with our God-given purpose. This is why Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." God has assigned every parent the duty to set every child that has been given them on the part of God, where they would find their purpose. And when they are grown and are to leave their parents, they will know how to rest on God.

This same duty has been given to Church leaders to those whom they oversee. They aren't to dictate to them; rather, they are set on the part of God's purpose (ref.: Ephesians 4:11-16).

As Sons and Daughters of God having been brought up by physical and Spiritual parents, we are to ask ourselves if our destiny is fulfilling the purpose to which we were sent here on earth. Whatever action we portray is the result of where our heart rests. As Apostle James said in James 2:26, that faith in our Lord Jesus without works to show for it is dead. This goes for every action portrayed.

Is your destiny in line with His purpose for you?

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Fear

Fear! Wow, it's just like the world sees it as normal. Well sadly everyone born of a woman see fear as a way of life, like fear is a part of life. But because we all came into this world to meet fear as the way the world accepted fear as part of life, we never cared to questioned it.

There is fear in every single thing that we see around us, from food; not eating too much or too little, or eating at all if we are eating what is good for our health or not. There is fear in everything that is done, even as little as walking or breathing. Why is this so?

One thing that we really should know is that all that is fear comes from our mind and is never in the present, but an anticipation of the future in whatever form, whether close or far, but never happening in the present.

And another thing we must know is that fear is always an anticipation of pessimism and never optimism. So, the question we never asked ourselves is that why are people always pessimistic by nature?

To answer this question quickly, let me take you through some verses of the Bible that clearly states why man is always filled with fear.

Genesis 1:26a says, "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness"

The verses to note are Genesis 3:10-12, "¹⁰Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” ¹¹So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” ¹²And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” This comes after Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Alright, now God made man in His image and likeness. Which means, man has the power to create through his words. That is on one side. The second side is that fear isn't part of the nature of God, and wasn't found in man till he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. That was why when Adam said he was afraid and hid himself when he heard the voice of God, which made God ask him if he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, because fear isn't among the God's vocabulary.

Fear isn't part of the original design of man. So, what is?

Faith is the original design of man, and not fear. Our vocabulary should be the vocabulary of God Himself, which is by faith (ref.: Hebrews 11:3).

Every word we confess is to speak "God" into the future. Remember, fear isn't in the present, and it isn't resting on God, but faith in Christ is.

Our words are very precious, and shouldn't be spoken in fear because they create the future we don't want. Rather we are to confess words by faith in Christ Jesus that rest on God as the source. By doin this we manifest the life God has designed for us. However, we cannot do this by just saying it alone, we need the have the life of God to live the God kind of life, which is only found in Christ Jesus. This is why becoming born again is extremely important, and living the life is of great importance.

Fear has its origin in sin which Jesus has freed the world from. It is left to us to willingly accept the new life of God in Christ Jesus which translates us from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Jesus, (ref. Colossians 1:13). Isn't that amazing?

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Be Brave And Be Strong

1 Corinthians 16:13 says "Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." As I meditated on this verse, the Lord put in my heart certain things Sons and Daughters of God should always take note of, especially in this last days. And when I say last days, I mean last days, because we can't deny the filth that has become a norm in our society. So, let's look at the verse.

The first thing to note is the term watch. The world is very deceptive, full of all sort of things that could pop up at anytime. And as we shouldn't forget, the devil is the god of the world, full of speaking deceit into the hearts of man right from the garden of Eden till today. So, we should be alert by as we move about, as we watch the television, interact with people, knowing the wiles of the devil, and knowing when Holy Spirit is speaking to us.

The second thing to note is standing fast in faith which signifies growth in Christ, because growth through faith requires knowledge in the finished work of Christ. The more we attain this knowledge, the more our faith grows, and we know how to watch better.

The third thing to note is to be brave. As we hold on to Christ we would be persecuted. And in order to stand our ground on what we believe, which is holding onto the truth, we must be brave, full of confidence.

The last thing the verse points out is to be strong. One thing we cannot avoid when holding onto Christ is persecution. And as we hold onto Christ by being brave in the midst of the persecution, we must not give in, we must be strong. Now, we are strengthened by the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit cannot just keep strengthening us on the same knowledge we haven't improved upon. What I mean is that our faith should be strengthened all the more in the midst of persecution, which is continually growing in faith.

The world from the time man fell, has been based on fear. And the absence of faith is the presence of fear. So, when we focus all the more on the truth through the word of God, the Holy Spirit strengthens us in all we do, and we stand our ground on truth, which is what we believe by being brave. And this allows us to be alert, for we recognise the voice of our Shepherd —Jesus, when He speaks, thus allowing us not to fall for the thief or robber who has brainwashed the world through ignorance.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Who Do You Let Into Your House?

And it just hit me hard all of a sudden, not like I never knew before, but the view became so much clearer. What am I talking about?

Imagine you seeing some pesky flies outside your house, but close to your door. Of course, you would ensure you door is closed, and any other way the flies could probably come in. And once that is done, you aren't bothered anymore. You go about doing what you were doing, as long as you don't open the door. The same goes with faith and fear. Well, my focus is on fear.

Now, fear is a tool used by the guy downstairs—the devil. It is used as a means to carry out the mandate of the devil. The devil according to Jesus in John 10:10 has a mandate, which is to kill, steal and destroy. And the guy it sends, is fear.

What we need to know is that fear is like a virus that needs to host. It cannot be effective unless it is inside a host. In other words, fear cannot have any effect on you unless you allow it to, unless you open the door and allow it to get in, like the pesky flies. So, the choice is totally up to you.

The devil can never force it's way into your life. The best it can do is to bring mirage or simulations around you. It is then left to you to open the door to let it into your house, or to leave it outside. Sounds so simple right?

Your house is your mind, and fear knocks on the door everyday. But remember, there is also Mr Faith who knocks on your door. One brings the truth, while the other brings lies. Mr Faith always bring the truth, while fear bring lies. The choice as I said is left to you.

One thing you must know and remember is that nothing, absolutely NOTHING can force itself into your life unless you allow it, unless you open the door to allow it to get in.

The Bible says in Proverbs 4:23 "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life." AMPC. The Easy To Read version says, "Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life." ERV.

Who are you letting into your mind? If you allow fear into your life, it will torment you severely with lies that would appear real, while faith will release the truth of who Jesus is into your life, and guide you all the way.

Watch the movie: Spider-Man: Far from Home, then you'll understand what I'm talking, and know why I recommended the movie.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

It All Changed With a Snap

So, it's a flow, what do I mean by that? Can imagine being in your house, and with a snap of your finger, you're in your office. You flow with it, you're in your office now, not in your house. Or imagine living in a small bungalow, and with a snap of your finger, you're in a huge mansion.

Now, the story of the mansion is that someone owned the mansion before your snap got you there. But the more surprising story is that you found out you are the one, who is the person who owns the mansion. But what you knew is that you lived in a small bungalow, so when did I own the mansion, because the story was that you had owned the mansion and lived in it all the while. Now, I guess you would be confused.

What happened was the person who owned the bungalow and the person who owns the mansion are two entirely different people. And the owner of the small bungalow which you thought was you has passed on, just for you to find out that your snap of the finger changed your entire life history. The history you are know for is that you own a huge mansion. In summary, you have put on a new body.

So, now that you know that you have always lived in mansion, definitely there is a way of life you have, and because of this, you need to know who you really are right now in this new life. The reason for this is because you got to know that the person who lived in the bungalow and the person who live in the mansion live completely different lives. And now that you know this, it is important that you unlearn the life you used to have and learn the life you have right now, since it is now your new nature, and not a fake life.

The more you know who you are now, the more you bring out the nature of your new self you were surprised you had inside of you.

What happened was that snap of the finger didn't just change your location, but it also changed your nature. And the new nature is hidden inside of you. So, the more you get to know who this new you is, the more you find out that, truly you are the man who lived in the mansion.

So, the moment you confessed Jesus as Lord of your life and believed that God raised Him from the dead, there was a snap of the finger that changed your destiny, that changed your life and nature. You ceased being man you knew and appeared to be the man who took over your physical body, and that person is Jesus, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 2:20).

The reason why this is very important is that our old spirit died, and Jesus became our new Spirit. Our soul which carries our mind, will and emotion had the record of the old spirit, but doesn't know much about the new Spirit. And you have obtained the Spirit of Jesus by grace, and all He is, you have become, which is why it is important to know Him through the meditation of the word of God. And the Holy Spirit then interprets the word to you. In other words, He shows you who Jesus is, and how you are now one Spirit with Him, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 6:17).

The business you have is really not yourself, but Jesus, because to know Jesus is to know who you are. The devil would definitely come and bring up things about your old life, but that was your old life, which has passed on, because the life you now live is the very life of Jesus.

You are to fix your eyes on Jesus, who is the one perfects our stand and trust on what He has given to us by grace, (ref.: Hebrews 12:2).

True, we may make mistakes along the way, but as a baby learning how to walk, we pick ourselves up by knowing more of Him, in order to be completely conscious of our new nature, and this is eternal life, (ref.: John 17:3). It's all about knowing Him, and nothing else. The more we know Him, the more we live Him, and walk Him, because we have become Him.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

The Labourers Are Few!

What is the essence of receiving the Jesus as our new life, and allowing the Holy Spirit lead us as we mature into understanding the oneness in Spirit that we have with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? The purpose is for us to be properly equipped to go out and take the world out of their ignorance and enlighten and bring them in the kingdom of the Jesus.

Alright, my reason for starting this way is because some those who are propagate this goodnews are still having issues with their lives when the solution to these issues in actually the message they are propagating. And to make it even more disturbing is that they have come into the new kingdom with the brand new Spirit which they have access to all the power and authority of Jesus who also is their new life.

Why I used the word 'disturbing' is because the devil has so distracted us with its lies and deception. True, the devil is always after us, trying to get us not to meditate on the word of God, trying to make us not to receive divine revelation into all truth in Christ Jesus, doing everything possible that we die physically (as it play on our mind), renounce Jesus, and not understand the word. But the point here is that we have entered into a brand new realm in Christ Jesus that we must not be ignorant of, in order to utilise the full armour of God, withstanding the devil and then pursuing that which Jesus has called us into.

This is very important because Jesus said in John 4:35, "Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" The world is getting more lost in evil which is intentionally controlled by the god of this world, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 4:4), because it doesn't want the Sons and Daughters of God to bring them out of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of God. So, if the Sons and Daughters of God don't understand how crucial it is to rescue the world, by quit being ignorant of what they have received, by not allowing the devil toss us to and fro by every wind of doctrine (still due to ignorance of the word), then the Sons and Daughters of God would not put on the full armour of God and go about their mission, just because they are being distracted by the very same idiot who hates them and the world also.

Sons and Daughters of God must never forget 1 Peter 5:8, which says, "Be well balanced and always alert, because your enemy, the devil, roams around incessantly, like a roaring lion looking for its prey to devour." TPT. The devil is doing everything possible to slow the Sons and Daughters down from carrying out their mission. The harvest is very much plentiful, but but labourers are few.

Load yourself in the word of God, be Holy Spirit sensitive as He leads you. This is putting on the armour of God. This woul enable you to get to those who have no idea of the goodnews the Lord Jesus has given to humanity, and get them rescued into Jesus.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
