How Do You Know What You're Made Up Of?

When we were born, we lived with the will we were born with. Now, this will was sin inclined. Sin in itself is "lifelessness," that is, just doing anything without purpose. But as we have received Jesus as our new life, we are exposed to our true will, which actually is the will of God, for our life in particular. 

Everyone has been created and designed for a specific purpose. To live away or outside this purpose is to malfunction or live outside the will of God for our individual lives. The point now would be to know the particular thing we were created for.

When you live the will you were born with, you act as Adam after his fall. But as Jesus becomes your life, the will of God is prompted within you. And when you live His life, you release excellence hidden within you, the excellence and perfect life God has placed within your creation and design.

The life you are to live is not about your thinking things through, but your resting on God who has thought it through. In other words, it's as simple as waking up in the morning and asking God what He wants you to do that day. And trust me, whatever He says you're to do, He has seen the end of it because He is there already. And guess what? The best person to get to the end of what God has asked you to do that day or any other day, is you and no one else.

You were designed for perfection. Colossians 2:9-10 says, "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; ¹⁰and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." God is perfect, and His fulness dwells in you because you're complete in Him. Therefore, anytime you follow what He asks you to do, just know that getting the job done miraculously is the order of the day.

Go through the scriptures, there is no one who chose to go by what God said that ever failed,  even when everything seemed impossible. This is God we're talking about here, the one who knows the end from the beginning; the one who is at the end as He is with us at the moment; the one who designed you as the perfect person for the job because He put His Spirit in you to function in perfection in accordance to your creation.

Your will is actually resting on His will, and this is true faith. Don't forget, without faith, it is impossible to please God; resting on His word brings you into a prosperous and successful conclusion (ref.: Hebrews 11:6; Joshua 1:8). Rest on His will.

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's Left To You, Not HIM

There are times we face challenges in our lives that are genuine and we bring these challenges to God to come through for us. After doing this, what do we expect? Many times we leave the entire thing to God, not realising that it was really not up to God anymore. So, who is it up to?

Let's look at two verses. Mark 11:24 says, "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Also, Ephesians 3:20 says "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"

When we pray to God, Jesus said we are to believe that we have received what we prayed for. Just hold on to that.

Now, this is where we need to pay attention: As Sons and Daughters of God, the fulness of God is embedded in us. In other words, all of who God is, and His authority dwells in us. So, the question would be what am I to do to get this prayer answered?

True, Mark 11:24 says we should believe that which we prayed for and we will have it. But Ephesians 3:20 allows us to understand that the fulness of Christ is in us. And all that we would ever need has been provided to us by the Spirit (ref.: Ephesians 1:3). What we are to do is to know these things (God's purpose for us) by being led by the Holy Spirit which in turn allows the release of the fulness of Christ/God as we declare the purpose of God into existence.

Our personal prayers shouldn't be prayers but declaration of faith that leads to physical manifestation.

We are not to be double minded because He who is double minded isn't ready to receive what God has put inside of him or her (ref.: James 1:6-8).

God has done His part, it is left to us to know the plan of God for us and declare them into existence. Our level of belief determines the manifestation. In other words, if we doubt, nothing happens. And by doubt I mean having a plan B.

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!

And The Love Story Began

Really, why did He have to come into the world?

The action of God deciding to come as man,  born with no innate knowledge of human understanding at birth is a huge risk, what if it fails? This cannot but be what 1 John 4:8 says about God. God is love, so God loving mankind isn't His choice but an expression of His existence, He was just being Himself. It's wasn't a choice.

God created us in love. He expressed Himself in the creation of man. He loved and still loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, who Himself is the express image of God (ref.: John 3:16; Colossians 1:15).

Man chose the wrong path and was led astray living a dead life. God chose to enter into the dead life, even though being alive within the dead life, to save all of humanity, all because of His love. Don't forget, love is His nature.

Christmas depicts the beginning of the great love story on His quest in redeeming humanity which He eventually did.

God has placed His word above His name (ref.: Psalm 138:2), and cannot go against it. So, the way He could save man was to be born as a baby who would grow up and then redeem man. It could only be love.

Christmas is an expression of God's love towards humanity. Peace on earth, God and man being reconciled as one Spirit. Without Christmas there won't be the hope of redemption and the eventual redemption. It's a time to give God praise and thanksgiving for choosing to be born. It's a love story.

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 Creative Force

God in Genesis 1:26 made man in His IMAGE and LIKENESS. In other words, God made man to have His appearance and behaviour or characteristics. So, man was the physical image of God.

God as we know is a creative being. His word does not go and come back to Him void, but accomplishes all He has sent it to do (ref.: Isaiah 55:11).

Jesus came to redeem man from the fallen nature of death into His kingdom, which is the kingdom of God. Jesus is the true image and likeness of God. And this time, Jesus is God Himself in the form of man. He is everything that God is, and anyone who receives Jesus as Lord carries this same spirit of God in him or her.

Now, where am I going with this?

What exactly is the creative force?

The word of God is the creative force of God. And Jesus is the Word of God. In Him all things were made, and without Him nothing is made (ref.: John 1:3; Hebrews 1:2,3; Colossians 1:15).

Now, since we now understand that Jesus is the creative force of God, and we carry His Spirit, let's look at 2 Corinthians 10:4-6. It says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, ⁶and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled."

The weapons of our warfare are neither carnal nor of the flesh. The verse says, our weapons are mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds. In very, very simple terms, the weapon of our warfare as Sons and Daughters of God is the name of Jesus.

When you read Philippians 2:9-11, you will see that Jesus has been given a name that is above every other name. And in His name every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that He is Lord.

The word of God in the name of Jesus is the creative force we have received and we should be careful how we speak because our words carry power and it creates.

So, if there is anything that isn't aligning itself to who you are in Christ, speak it to existence. And of course you must believe what you confess by faith. For even God by faith created the world (ref.: Hebrews 11:3).

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!

Tongues and His Purpose

Have you ever wondered what speaking in tongues does to your life? It is so deep! Well, many would say it is speaking heavenly language not interrupted by human mind. That is true, others would say it's a way the Holy Spirit intercedes for us (ref. Romans 8:26). All these are true. But have you ever wondered what tongues really are exactly?

Let's take a look at the popular Jude 1:20. It says, "But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit." What has tongues got to do with our faith? Hold on.

Let's look at Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord , thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."

The NIV puts it thus, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 NIV.

God has plans and thoughts for us, and these thoughts are His purpose for our lives. But He cannot force them on us, He can only reveal it to us and set the path for us to take in accomplishing this purpose. And we decide our destiny by whatever path we choose to take, and God in His mercy has shown us His path that we should take to accomplish the main reason why we are here.

So, where does tongues come in all of these?

The entire world is filled with so much evil that it affects our complete rest in Jesus. When you take a look at the life of Jesus when He live on earth, He had complete rest in God that His life was just the purpose of God for Him. In other words, the path Jesus took, which was His destiny was completely the exactly plan and purpose God had for Him, which showed the zenith of faith ever by any man on God.

Now, since we are still in the phase of renewal of our minds, we still have interruptions from the world into our thoughts and how we do things, which of course affects our perfect rest in God in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 2:20 says, we live by the faith OF the Son of God—Jesus, who has the ultimate and perfect faith, which we received when we became born again. This faith lies in our Spirit. It is then left to us to activate it through our words, in other words, through confession and belief. But there are interferences from the world. Now, this is where tongues come in.

Now, to speak in tongues is actually to confess and declare the plans and purpose of God for our life. And this is done without an interference. It is the most undiluted way of speaking God's purpose into our lives. And Proverbs 18:21 says, death and life are in the power of the tongue, what does this mean? It means when we constantly speak in tongues we are creating a perfect world for ourselves, which is the plan and purpose of God for us, which is the reason why we were created.

With this we now understand why Apostle Jude said to speak in tongues is boost our most Holy faith (ref. Jude 1:20), and why Apostle Paul said in 1st Corinthians 14:4 that speaking in tongues edifies our spirit man. But of course the source of this tongue is in God Himself which we received by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, who is our focus in order for tongues to have meaning, as it is done in love.

Speak in tongues, and see God's plans and purpose for you fulfilled in life.

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 Characteristics of Jesus (Part 2)

In my last write-up, I asked why despite the life of Jesus being in us, who is Health, Wealth, Success, Life and more personified, we couldn't release Him who was on the inside of us easily. Today, I'll explain why.

The reason why we couldn't release what was on the inside of us has been because of ignorance and pride. Ignorance in sense of not knowing who we are right now in the Spirit, which is to affect how to live here on earth. And because of this again, pride pops up.

Now, pride here is the interpretation we know it as exactly. Even though it means being full of yourself, the difference here is how this is interpreted.

To be full of pride is to work it out by your own effort. That sounds odd right? What we must remember is that no matter how much effort we put, it cannot meet up with the level of Jesus which is equal to God's standard. And this is why we died to live the life of Christ Jesus. And if you have received the life of Jesus, it is all of Him and NON of you, no matter how little it may be.

By having this at the back of our mind, we release the life of Christ Jesus. But to release this life, we must meditate on Who this new life is [Jesus], knowing that He is our new life. And to dwell in Him through His word [thus knowing Him], we without stress start living His life, and we see, Health, Wealth, Success, Prosperity and all of who He is come manifest in our daily lives.

It is so simple, yet it requires absolute trust in Him, and to drop the old life that isn't in us anymore.

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!
