The Spirit And The Word

The Spirit And The Word

“Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 NIV

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you–they are full of the Spirit and life. John 6:63 NIV

See God through the lens of His word. Embrace His Spirit and His word. The Bible talks about the Spirit the water and the blood. They are all very important and vital for our Christian victory and success. The Spirit is the one who gave us the word of God, and still gives us His word by leading us moment by moment, and revealing secrets to us. He also gives us instructions.

The word of God is what you must eat constantly and walk by. The word of God builds you up and gives you faith, love, hope peace and other good fruits and products of the Holy Spirit. The blood of Jesus redeemed us and still redeems us. The blood of Jesus is also the glory of God and His manifest presence.


I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. Acts 2:19

When you fully embrace these three spiritual concepts, and walk by them, moment by moment, you will be mature and victorious.

As Meek As

As Meek As

Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. Numbers 12:3 ESV

Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) Numbers 12:3 NIV

When I was very young, I saw the above Scripture and prayed to God, to be as meek as Moses. I did that because I concluded that, that was the secret of his success with God. Now, I do not know how far I have gone with my level of meekness but I know that I have the constant desire within me to be humble and meek. Jesus was humble and meek.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:29

Humility actually comes from a place of understanding and perfect awareness where you know for certain that you are nothing without God’s help and sustenance. Humility is truth and it is agreement with the truth. Even the so called men of honor on earth are sustained by God’s power. Pride, on the other hand comes from deception. It is a lie. Deceived people have very low self and God awareness.

They lack spiritual intelligence and wisdom. Someone can be super intelligent in the natural world and be super dumb and foolish spiritually. Spiritual intelligence comes through grace and grace is in levels. Jesus was full of grace, truth and wisdom that is why He was so humble as the son of man.

The more God awareness you have, the more self awareness you will have, because it is God that gives wisdom.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5

God can permit a man to experience so much wealth and power and be consumed with pride simply because that is what the man wants. They want worship. A lot of Politicians, celebrities and extremely wealthy people are like that. Even some “great doctors and surgeons” have the God complex.

They believe that all that they have acquired is of their own making but the truth is that they are fulfilling a purpose in God’s grand scheme of things and events. They ultimately begin to see themselves as gods or they are seen as gods by others. Both are wrong.

They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died. Acts 12:22,23

We should never forget that every good and perfect present comes from God even the ones coming through the backdoor. Humans can get gifts through the backdoor and easy way of Satan worship and spiritual spilling of innocent human blood, but it will end in complete destruction. Satan himself cannot move an inch without God’s permission. Satan’s job is to catch the evil, greedy and selfish and he uses his net to catch them. He cannot catch the righteous. When the righteous fall, they rise up again. But anyone who falls and never rises is not one of the righteous. He is not of God. It is only a great thief that knows how to catch smaller thieves.

The end of anyone who is worshipped or who encourages people to worship him is destruction. God does not want us to be proud, he wants humility and meekness.

May we constantly pray to God to be humble and meek in His sight. May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

They Are Pretenders, They Are Not Christians 

They Are Pretenders, They Are Not Christians 

They Are Pretenders, They Are Not Christians 

Visions, Revelations and Messages

In this vision the Lord took me into a Church. In that Church, I saw some of the people that write awful things and comments on social media. They were part of the congregation. These were people that openly supported and urged the killing of people that were not of the same tribe, race, ideology, religion and belief system like themselves. I was very shocked to see them in Church and I exclaimed, “ Lord, are these not the same people that openly support and encourage the killing of people who are different from them on social media!”

The Lord replied me and said, “don’t mind them – they are pretenders, they are not Christians.” I was very shocked and came out of the vision. If you really think about this you will realize that no true Christian will support any form of injustice or killing. My spirit was shocked because I could not reconcile their words and actions with their presence in Church as Christians. But the Lord eased my confusion with clarity and truth – they are not Christians. 

He said “don’t mind them” because He does not want us to pay attention to their words, actions and works and be confused, deceived or discouraged. 

Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness.” 2 Timothy 2:19 

Brethren, the Lord truly knows the pretenders and the real, the true and the false, the original and the fake, the authentic and the counterfeit. He knows those who are His and who belong to Him. If you live your life in hatred and still believe that you are a Christian, then I feel very, very sorry for you. 

Do you know why? It is because that is the worst form of self deception and it is the type that leads to death, hell and the grave. Heaven and Hell are very real and unfortunately, some people who think that they are Christians simply because they mention, mouth and do lip service to the name of Christ will be deceived and disappointed. 

They will go to hell if they don’t repent and it won’t be God’s fault. That is the word of the Lord. God did not disappoint them – they disappointed themselves with hatred. God’s grace is greater than sin and hatred and it is available. The only thing we need to do now is to choose love and reject evil and hatred. 

Our fruits and works will always be an evidence of what we believe and worship. It does not make sense hiding under the canopy of Christianity and misusing the name of Christ yet be full of the worst form of abomination, wickedness, evil, greed and hatred – it does not make any sense. No amount of hiding, pretense and self deception will save us from judgement. God sees every form of pretense by man. He wants every man to be saved but we must choose good and reject evil. 

The heart of man is very wicked and deceitful. We have to constantly pray against every form of self deception. 

What I took away from this vision is that:

  1. The Lord knows those who are pretenders and that word He called them is very effective in conveying the true nature of these supposed Christians.
  2. It is possible to believe that you are a Christian, yet you are not a Christian but a pretender.
  3. Anyone who calls the name of the Lord must keep away from hatred and sin. He must hate hatred and evil in order to be a real Christian instead of a pretender.
  4. Christian means Christlike so it is great folly to be Satan-like, devil-like and demon-like and claim Christianity.
  5. Christianity is not a label or tag – it is a way of life that manifests itself and bears fruits. Wisdom is known by its fruits. 

May God’s great grace be upon us and lead us always. May we always bear fruits to the glory of God. Amen.

Fully Trained

A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.   (Luke 6:40 ESV)

The word of God says that when we are fully trained, we will be like our Master, Jesus. Glory to God. It is not easy but it is possible. This means that we should never give up. We must keep praying for grace to be more like Jesus, everyday. The more we are transformed into the likeness of Christ, the more His light, grace and power manifest through us. 

Our God is a God of grace and glory and He never disappoints those who are trusting and persistent. May God’s grace lead us to the place of maturity and spiritual beauty.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. (Romans 11:26 NKJV)

Jesus did not just deliver us and stop there – He is our constant deliverer. He delivers and He saves. That is why He came. We have a mighty deliverer who is higher than the heavens and is supreme over all of creation. We are truly blessed indeed.

Do you need deliverance or healing today? Reach out in faith to your deliverer and seek God’s face. Our mighty deliverer will definitely hear your silent or loud cries for deliverance.

Self Help Is Not The Holy Spirit

Self Help Is Not The Holy Spirit

Some people say, “there is nothing that the mind cannot do.” The Word of God says, “ there is nothing that the Holy Spirit cannot do if our hearts and minds are completely centered and focused on Him, His power and His word.” The former promotes self and self help and the latter promotes God and God – help.

With God all things are possible and with self, some things are impossible. Human power is limited. This seems obvious but it is not really obvious to a lot of self help addicts. Self help addicts have been swallowed by the more you look, the less you see and the more knowledge they think that they have by chanting, “I Can, I Can” and “I am, I am,” the more confusion and darkness they drink. God can and God is the only I AM.

Psychology, positive thinking and self help are useful but they can never replace God’s power. The Christian’s positive thinking and help is the word of God. The word of God should order our steps and thoughts and the word of God does not encourage negative thinking. Anyone who is filled with the word of God and the Holy Spirit cannot be negative minded. The fruits of the Holy Spirit are all positive,

Jesus and Paul were positive minded, however, they depended on the power of God and were filled with the word of God and the Holy Spirit. Some people’s definition of positive thinking is restricted entirely to self and human help without God. Life is all about definition. Two concepts can be defined differently by different people and have different meanings, explanations and interpretations.

The word of God transforms and renews the mind by God’s grace and power as we meditate on it and dwell in it, however, power is of the Holy Spirit. When it comes to incurable illnesses and demonic problems, psychology and self help will fail. Even head knowledge of the word of God without the Holy Ghost power does not cast out demons. Medical science with all its benefits is limited, and sometimes doctors sadly pronounce the judgement of ” Your illness is incurable.”

They can even estimate the likely date of departure from this world with some incurable illnesses. What next when all else fails? The self help champion begins to see the limitations only then. If he does not encounter that kind of challenge, he remains blind and ardently clings to his little god.

Everything has a plaice, an order and a purpose. Everything must be placed in the right perspective. Man is spiritual, not mental. Good mental qualities are very helpful but cannot cast out demons or cure incurable illnesses. Power on the other hand is spiritual not mental. It is better to be a God addict than to be a self addict. Jesus and Paul were God addicts. We need God.

They knew that human power is of no use at all. Paul knew the reality of, “His power is perfected in weakness.” His thorn happened so that he would always be dependent on God’s grace and not get carried away by pride because of the great visions and revelations that were given to Him by God,

May we never forget that the Holy Spirit is our helper. May God’s great grace be upon you as you worship Him and seek His face.
