11. He Reveals God’s Secrets

But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God’s purposes. 1 Corinthians 2:10

The Holy Spirit is the one that reveals God’s secrets. God has secrets. He reveals secrets about the past, present and the future. He reveals secrets about God Himself. Every word and revelation of God is a secret given to man as light for walking.

The word of God can only be understood and accepted when it has been revealed to us. The reason we know that the word of God is a secret is because a lot of false prophets, churches and cults read the Bible, yet do not understand it, live it or glorify the word of God in their daily lives. The do not exalt Jesus.

They use the word of God as a cover for their diabolical and lustful ways. They exalt evil and despise and scorn good. They see the righteous as fools. But the real secret is that the righteous are the wise ones and they are the fools who have been deluded and deceived by the devil. They lack wisdom.

The real secret is that Jesus the righteous one has defeated sin and the devil. He has the key of death and the grave. The god of this world has already been judged and dethroned. He only rules people through deception.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1;7

Fools despise the word of God – Jesus. They hate the real message in the Bible. They twist, misinterpret and abuse the Bible to suit their lustful ways.  They lust after money, fame and prosperity yet refuse to honour and obey God and they deny the power of the gospel. They reject holiness and trade it for mammon and prosperity.

They live in darkness while professing to read the Bible because they have no Holy Spirit to make the word of God alive and shine in their hearts. The Bible remains a secret to them until anytime they decide to repent and seek God in sincerity and truth. They have been blinded by the god of this world and have veils and scales over their eyes.

Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:15-17

There is a difference between seeking God and blessings. Those who seek God love Him and look for ways to please Him and honour Him. Those who seek blessings and money as their god are the mammon worshippers who pretend to worship God. They worship mammon, the world, pleasure, and prosperity in place of God and use the Bible as cover up. God permits such people to be deceived because they hate God and love the world and every form of worldly pleasure.

The secret of the LORD is for those who fear Him, And He will make them know His covenant. Psalm 25:14

The king said to Daniel, “Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret.” Daniel 2:47

For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. 2 Thessalonians 2:11

If you fear God, He will show you His secrets including the ones that are not in the Bible like God’s plan for your life, the root of your problems and the solutions to your problems. He will reveal to you the secret of how to pray and get result and He will tell you what to pray for and give you prayer points. He will give you the gifts of the Holy Spirit including words of knowledge and words of wisdom.

I remember sometime ago, I was in a vision and I asked the Lord why a certain woman who belonged to a cult and was possessed ended up that way. The woman was a church goer but belonged to a dead church. The Lord replied me and said, ‘She ended up that way because she was not seeking me but was seeking blessings.’ That revelation from the Lord opened by eyes to why it is vital for us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and never ever seek blessings.

The Bible never asked us in any part of the Scriptures to seek blessings. When we seek materials things instead of God and pleasing God, we end up deceived by false prophets, false pastors, magicians and sorcerers who end up giving you ‘blessings’ in exchange for your souls. Beware of false pastors, false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing who masquerade as angels and messengers of light.

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Mathew 6:32-33 NIV

For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Mathew 6:32-33 ESV

God wants relationships with mutual love as the foundation – He does not want to be used and He distances Himself from users and people seeking to use Him to satisfy their lusts. He draws near to those who love Him and He does not draw near to those who do not love Him. He already loves us and has shown it on the cross. We are the ones who must love Him and draw near to Him.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8

Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive. Jeremiah 29:12-14

We are commanded to seek the Lord and how to please Him and God who is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him will reward us. We are also commanded to work hard and ask God for help with faith and humility. We are to pray and wait upon the Lord. However, if we make it our mission and passion in life to pant, lust and seek after blessings and material things, God who knows the heart sees us and we cannot deceive Him.

Our hearts must be pure – we must strive to love God, love others and do good even when it seems like there is no benefit or reward from doing good – that is the Christian’s dilemma. We must love God by faith even if He does not deliver us. Our relationship with Him should not be a trade by batter relationship- ’give me this and I will give you that.’ It should be pure and sincere like Job’s love and faithfulness.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered, “Your Majesty, we will not try to defend ourselves. If the God whom we serve is able to save us from the blazing furnace and from your power, then he will. But even if he doesn’t, Your Majesty may be sure that we will not worship your god, and we will not bow down to the gold statue that you have set up.” Daniel 3:1-20

When we lust after mammon like pagans always concerned about what we will eat and drink to the exclusion of God, without depending on God who already knows that we need those things, we will fall into the wrong hands – the devils hands and judgement will be our great and painful reward.

The Holy Spirit is the revealer of secrets and He is the one who reveals the word of God, the root of our problems and the solutions to our problem. May we always depend on Him to reveal secrets and mysteries to us.

A Different Man

A Different Man

The Spirit Of The Lord

10. He Makes Men Different

Suddenly the spirit of the Lord will take control of you, and you will join in their religious dancing and shouting and will become a different person. 1 Samuel 10:6

The Spirit Of The Lord makes men different from their natural selves. He makes men live supernatural lives. When the Spirit of the Lord came upon Saul, He was turned into a different person. He was given supernatural gifts that enabled him to live above the normal human life.

If we study the lives of the prophets, Jesus and the Apostles especially Paul and John, we will understand clearly that they were different after they encountered the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit came upon them, they obtained the gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts made them different men and they ministered in supernatural ways. They were able to become different from other men in ability and wisdom.

They were gifted with supernatural wisdom and ability. Elijah called down fire, healed and raised the dead. Moses decreed God’s decree on the Egyptians and plagues tormented Egypt. Noah heard from God and built and ark, Joseph interpreted dreams, Daniel interpreted dreams and was not eaten up by Lions when he was thrown into a den of Lions.

And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?“ (Genesis 41:38 ESV)

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you are (Genesis 41:39 ESV)

God wants us as believers to be different especially His Ministers. We are to be the salt of the earth, giving flavor and joy to this earth. We can only do this when the Holy Spirit is upon us and with us. Without Him, we will be mediocre individuals instead of different individuals.

May the Holy Spirit fill us, come upon us and be with us so that we can manifest the light of Christ to the world. May Christ always shine through us in Jesus name.

He Convicts

He Convicts

The Spirit Of The Lord

9. He Convicts

“Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. “And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement: “of sin, because they do not believe in Me; “of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more.” (John 16:7 – 16:10 NKJV)

The Holy Spirit gives conviction. Conviction is a firmly held belief or opinion. Where there is total darkness or doubt, He will step in to shine His light and let it reign. We are not able to accept light and truth without the Holy Spirit’s enablement. As the giver of knowledge, wisdom and truth, conviction will not enter and stay in our hearts concerning any topic or subject in the word of God without the power of the Holy Spirit

Redemption

The Holy Spirit convicts us about our redemption – He is the one that enables us believe that all our past and forsaken sins are forgiven and cancelled. He makes us stand on the word of God to resist the devil steadfast in faith, conviction and confidence. He exalts the finished work of the cross and makes us rejoice in our salvation.

It is the Holy Spirit’s conviction that makes us say, by His stripes we are healed, all my sins are washed away and the blood of Jesus set me free and cancelled my punishments and debts. Hallelujah! He is powerful in faith and conviction and those who lean on Him and cling to Him build up massive, extraordinary faith.

Without Him, we will keep on making sacrifices and offerings for sins like pagans. He is also the one that convinces us that Jesus is Lord. He is the one that makes you believe the supremacy of Christ over everything including death and the grave.

Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:3

I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead. Revelation 1:18

 

Sin

The Holy Spirit convinces us and brings conviction about sin. He is the one that makes you accept that lying and gossiping are evil. He makes us keep away from hurting others. He makes us reject idolatry, adultery, fornication, homosexuality, pride and other vices. Without His conviction , we will romance and pamper sin. We will also approve of sin and give approval to those who sin. Without Him we will encourage sin in our lives and in the lives of others.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:21-32

 

The Example Of Joseph

The Lord was with Joseph so he was convinced about sin, righteousness and judgement. There are some men that will fall flat on their faces and accept that evil offer and apple from Potiphar’s wife. They are so careless, irresponsible and reckless that they would oblige her without shame or batting an eye lid. In their foolhardiness, they would forget the penalty for adultery when caught.

Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. And after a time his master’s wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, “Lie with me. ” But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and But he refused and said to his master’s wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge. ((Genesis 39:6 – 39:8 ESV)

He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” (Genesis 39:9 ESV)

Can a man carry fire next to his chest

and his clothes not be burned (Proverbs 6:27 ESV)

Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman

and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?

(Proverbs 5:20 ESV)

Or can one walk on hot coals

and his feet not be scorched?

So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife;

none who touches her will go unpunished (Proverbs 6:28 – 6:29 ESV)

They live that way because they do not have the Holy Spirit and so there is no conviction about sin. They call good, evil and call evil, good. However, Joseph called evil, evil. He said, ‘ how can I do this great wickedness and sin against God.’ He realised that the evil was against God not just Potiphar. Every harm we cause others is actually hurt and evil against God their maker.

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:37-40

 

Righteousness

The Holy Spirit is the one that brings conviction into our hearts about holiness and righteousness. He makes us seek the Kingdom Of God and it’s righteousness first. He makes us serve God alone instead of God and mammon. He enables and empowers us to hate sin and love righteousness. He made Joseph resist the snares and seductions of Potiphar’s wife.

He was constantly with Jesus and Paul and they embraced and maintained righteousness. They were undeterred and unfettered in their quest for Holiness and pleasing God. They had unfettered and unrestricted access to vast oceans of holiness, righteousness and purity resident in God through His Holy Spirit.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” Hebrew 1:9

 

Judgement

The Holy Spirit is the one that convinces us that the ruler of this world has been Judged and dethroned. When we understand and have that conviction that sin and death have been judged and dethroned, we will not let sin rule us. Sin, darkness and unbelief are all fruits of death. Since death has been judged it will be foolhardy of us to keep embracing him and romancing Him.

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

Judgement will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.

John 16:11 New Living Translation

The time for judging this world has come, when Satan, the ruler of this world, will be cast out. John 12:31

 And about judgement, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.

John 16:11 NIV

 

Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come. Romans 5:14

 

May we all realise that we are helpless without the help of the Holy Spirit. May He bring deep, lasting convictions into our hearts and make up fruitful and abundant in faith, hope, love, holiness and righteousness in Jesus Name.

He Leads

 

The Spirit Of The Lord

9. He Leads

Those who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children. Romans 8:14

For us to be led by the Spirit of God means we always have to follow the word of God, His voice and direction. We see Him as our Lord, head, leader master, director and controller. If we do not put Him first in everything we do, it means we are not being led by Him. He should always be in front and we must always be behind following Him and His footsteps. If He turns right we turn right not left. To be able to do this, we must hear His voice and let Him direct us in all our ways and paths.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Psalm 37:23

Divine direction and counsel should be active in our lives apart from following the written word of God. It is those who are led by the Spirit of God that know their callings in life and follow God’s plans for their lives. If we are deaf to His voice and leading, we won’t know which way to go. We will be so blind and we will keep shifting according to the wind and copying others.

Some people are in ministries they should not be in. Some people are in jobs and countries that they should not be in and some people are in marriages that are outside God’s plan for their lives. They are not led and encounter all sorts of frustrations because they are led by their own flesh,desires, dreams and ambitions, Some people are even led by defeat and laziness, they go into activities, jobs and vocations that seem to be the easiest.

A vocation that seems easy to one man might seam difficult to another man. And a vocation that seems difficult to one man might seem easy to another man. Every Job and vocation is good provided it adds value to man and society. However, do not go into a job or vacation because it seems to be the easiest. Find out God’s plan for your life and follow it.

Every man born into this world has God given vocations, callings and talents. We are at our best when we are in the vocation that was assigned to us by God. Because we have our own will, we can get into activities and vocations that we have no business being in. This leads to struggles and frustrations.

When we live according to the leading of the Holy Spirit in God’s plan and vocations, a higher level of grace will be available. When we are in God’s plan for our lives, we must also pray for all grace to be available and to complete our own individual race or assignment regardless of what it is – teacher, doctor, preacher, scientist etc. Paul even knew when his assignment was coming to an end. That is the height of being led by the Holy Spirit.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7

My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. John 4:34

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20: 23-24

Being led by the Holy Spirit makes life sweet and easy. It is the secret of success and many have tapped into this vast ocean of grace. May we recognise that the Holy Spirit is our leader and allow Him to lead us daily. I can firmly guarantee that if you let Him lead you, He will take you into the doorstep of success, peace and joy. May we all finish our individual races and fulfil our destinies in Jesus name.

He Gives Warnings

He Gives Warnings

The Spirit Of The Lord

8. He Gives Warnings

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit has warned me that prison and troubles wait for me. Acts 20:23

There we found some believers and stayed with them a week. By the power of the Spirit they told Paul not to go to Jerusalem. Acts 21:4

The Holy Spirit gives warnings. He warns you of actions that can harm your life, health and future. Because He knows the outcome of every decision we take, He warns us when we are about to take wrong and dangerous decisions. He warns us when we are about to travel to the wrong city for ministry, Job or business. He warns us when we are about to marry the wrong person. He warns us when we are about to enter the wrong religious organisation.

Because the Holy Spirit warns us of taking actions and decisions that can be dangerous to us, we must form the habit of listening to His instructions and paying attention to His warnings. We must see to it that we obey those warnings because if we don’t, the consequence can be grievous.

There was a time the Holy Spirit warned me not to travel to a certain city in the north of England. I ignored the warning and went there. The outcome was very traumatic for me. Also, when I was very young, I wanted to be a Nun. I found a group that was about to admit me and other girls into their society to become reverend sisters. After passing several stages, we got to the final stage where we would travel to a different country to be admitted into the convent.

I was lying down on my bed one day, when the Holy Spirit said to me three time, ‘do not go any further, you are entering into a cult! Do not go any further, you are entering into a cult! do not go any further, you are entering into a cult!’ I was rattled to my bones and called the group to tell them I was discontinuing with the journey into reverend sisterhood. All the other girls eventually became reverend sisters. The Lord eventually explained to me that I was called to be an evangelist not a priestess.

You can see how wonderful it is that the Holy Spirit gives warnings. His warning saved me from a life that was not my calling and destiny. I pray that we will all hear His warnings when He speaks, to avoid grievous and uncomfortable mistakes.

I Understand Weakness

I Understand Weakness

 

The wicked prowl on every side,

When vileness is exalted among the sons of men (Psalm 12:8 NKJV)

 

Vileness With Focus On Sexual Immorality

Humans exalt vileness. Yes, they do and I will tell you how. When humans defend sin and perversion, they are exalting vileness. Men are the ones that make excuses for fornication, adultery and homosexuality. What is the meaning of all this? I really don’t know.

Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie (Revelation 22:14 – 22:15 NKJV)

A minister I once knew said to me, ‘fornication is not a sin and is not bad, God can forgive Evangelists anything because of their high calling.’ I shuddered. That is one big lie. I examined his life and found out he lived what he believed and would always make excuses for fornication.

That is the same way that adulterers and homosexuals make excuses for what they practice. Some non homosexuals even make excuses for them and campaign on their behalf but the word of God advises us not to share in the sins of others. We must never make excuses for our sins and the sins of others.

We must not encourage ourselves in our sins and we must not encourage others to keep on sinning, rather it is our obligation to pray for ourselves and others to repent and turn away from sin. That is love. Love is when you know that a certain lifestyle can attract judgement and harm and you enlighten people to desist from actions capable of attracting the judgement of God into their lives. The worst judgement is hell – we must help people escape hell not push people into hell.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Mathew 10:28

If you love the fornicators, adulterers and homosexuals then pray for them. With God, nothing is impossibly. I know for a fact that some homosexuals are victims who were unwittingly sacrificed on the alter of life. They need prayers not encouragement to persist in an abnormal lifestyle. Homosexuality is also some sort of judgement for idol worship, God rejection and refusing to retain knowledge of God.

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. Romans 1:21-32

People can disagree with me for saying some of the homosexuals were scarified and get angry but I speak the truth as a an Apostle, prophet, evangelist, and teacher of the good news. The Lord has shown me deep mysteries and shown me the operations of several kingdoms and there are some I cannot even share. Life is a mystery and life is spiritual – if you look at life from the physical perspective without fear of God, you are not wise. James says we must ask for wisdom if we lack wisdom.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. Psalm 111:10

Sin is deeper than we think – it is spiritual. Sinners including homosexuals are victims and slaves in bondage and must be prayed for in love but never encouraged. The unbelievers are permanent slaves while Christians are temporary slaves. When you go out there and march for gay rights as a Christian you are a partaker of something that is not your business. Love everyone and pray for everyone but don’t share in the sins of others. Pray to God for supply of more grace to heal people from every form of sin. Sin is sin and is a perversion of nature and creation.

Very soon some so called Christians will go out there and march for adultery right and fornication right. Mind your own business and pray. Do not march for anything that is against the word of God. When you do that, you are marching against Christ the stone and if Christ decides to fall on you, you won’t be able to bear His weight.

As it is written:

“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,

And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame (Romans 9:33 NKJV)

“And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder.” (Matthew 21:44 NKJV)

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures:

’The stone which the builders rejected

Has become the chief cornerstone.

This was the LORD’s doing,

And it is marvellous in our eyes’ ? (Matthew 21:42 NKJV)

We Christians must stop giving God bad name by our actions. We must decide whom to follow and stop being in between and lukewarm.

Sin is not the problem, pride and attitude is the problem. There is no sin that God does not forgive. We must not claim to know more that God. If God calls something a sin, we must accept it and agree with that word. Humility is agreements with the truth. When we oppose what he has said out of stubbornness and pride, that is where the real problem lies.

Just as Eve believed that God lied to her and believed the devil, when we reject what God has said concerning homosexuality and sin we become opposers, criticisers and judges of God – that is the real problem. We become haters of the word of God and God.

Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. 2 Corinthians 5:16

The blood of Jesus already set us free, it is our pride and stubbornness that destroys us not the sin. Why? If we admit and agree that we sinned or that fornication, adultery and homosexuality are sins, and sincerely plead with God for help and grace in humility, God is so loving, kind and gracious that He embraces us with extraordinary love. It is the hatred of the word of God that grieves God. Hatred of the word of God is hatred of Jesus.

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. Revelation 19:13

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favour to the humble.” James 4:6

When we oppose and contradict the word of God, we are dragging and contesting superiority with God, and that is the real problem.

Our mindset is what grieves God. Brethren, if you claim to be a Christian and a lover of Christ – the word of God, do not defend any thing that has been labelled a sin by the word of God even lying and gossiping that look like they are little compared to murder. Sin is sin and must be denounced and rejected publicly and vigorously.

Sin is nothing and less than nothing – we must look at sin as inferior to the blood of Jesus. When we put sin in its proper place, the desire and temptation will die.

If I fall into any kind of sin, I don’t pamper that sin or make excuses for it. I admit it before God, ask for forgiveness and ask for grace to completely eradicate it from my life – that is what God expects. Ultimately, we must get to a place of maturity where sin becomes alien to us. That is God’s expectation and desire. He hates lukewarmness and halfhearted devotion.

So, because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16

The urge for any sin can die, by the grace of God and the blood of Jesus, if we decide to let go of that urge and not glorify the urge or evil desire. All God wants is admission, repentance and humility.

Only acknowledge your guilt– you have rebelled against the LORD your God, you have scattered your favours to foreign gods under every spreading tree, and have not obeyed me,'” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 3:33

Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Are you ashamed of your state and sin, run to Jesus. He understands every struggle with homosexuality, fornication and adultery. He is waiting with love and arms opened wide to hug you and heal your broken heart. Yes, it is broken heartedness  that leads to evil desires. Once He fills you up, and you feel complete and whole, you won’t have those desires again.

Recently the Lord appeared to me and my white garment was stained. I had not spent the usual number of hours that he commanded me to spend each day with Him because of certain events beyond my control that needed my attention.

In the vision I talked with Him and told him I love him. I was a bit far from Him and He said, ‘my love come to me.’ I went closer and He looked so handsome and I said, ‘Daddy! My father, please I need you, don’t deny me yourself because I can’t live without you. Come upon me, ‘ He did, and I started speaking in tongues as I exclaimed, ‘you are handsome, so handsome! You are the most handsome man I have ever seen and I don’t look good.’ I bent my head in shame and I could not look Him in the face. He put his palm under my chin to raise it up so I could look at Him. ‘I understand weakness,’ He said tenderly and lovingly with great compassion. Then I prayed, ‘please give me the me the grace to be loyal to you always.’ I also made some specific requests concerning my assignment and ministry and I finished with , ‘ I love you.’

I came out of the vision and His words kept on ringing and echoing in my mind. He understands weakness. He was so loving and so compassionate that I was energised and invigorated to come out of my weakness. I went back to my normal routine of spending hours in His presence and my garment became white again.

The Lord commanded me to denounce sin everywhere so it is my obligation before God to denounce idolatry, fornication, adultery, homosexuality and every other sin in line with that command. I do it out of love for humanity and man. I believe that every Christian owes it to Christ who saved them to denounce sin and not pamper sin.

If we do that, combined with prayer, the captives of the mighty will be delivered and the world will be a better place with less evil and less divine judgement.

The Lord Himself understands weakness and our struggles with fornication, adultery and homosexuality. He was tempted too but He did not sin. We must fight off sin because our great compassionate big Daddy is here to help us win the battle against sin. We must not hug and pamper any sin including homosexuality.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. Hebrews 12:4

Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

“God resists the proud,

But gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5 NKJV)

A son of sin is the one who believes in gay rights, loves the sin and approves of it without any desire to repent or ask for help. The slave is the one who struggles with sin including homosexuality and is ashamed. The slave repents and asks for help while the son sees nothing wrong with it.

A son of sin campaigns for gay rights and spits at the face of Christ. The son is the one who hates Christians and anyone who dares to tell him to change his lifestyle. The slave will go to heaven through the blood of Jesus because of his humility and the son will go to hell because of his pride. Christians who commit sin and are remorseful will be saved.

Christians who are trapped in sin and seeking God will be saved even by the destruction of the same flesh that is drawing them into destruction. Christians who persist in sins are handed over to the devil for the destruction of the flesh so that they can be saved in the day of the Lord. Judgement also begins in the house of God and that judgement should lead to godly sorrow.

 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife. And you are proud! Shouldn’t you rather have gone into mourning and have put out of your fellowship the man who has been doing this? For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgement in the name of our Lord Jesus on the one who has been doing this. So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh,ab so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 5: 1-5

Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. 1 Timothy 1:18-20

For it is time for judgement to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

Vileness must never be exalted by the sons of men – it is pathetic and sad when men exalt and pamper vileness. It is simply ugly and profound in its ugliness and it is a road to nowhere.

The Spirit Of The Lord

8. He Makes Us Remember

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you. John 14:26

The Holy Spirit makes us remember the word of God. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to forget the word of God. Is it possible for a human being to forget food or water? Is it wise to forget that thing that keeps you alive? When we forget the word of God, we fall into mistakes and sins. We also loose faith, love, and hope. It is the word of God that builds us up and makes us whole.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11

 

We Have To Keep Looking

If we keep looking into the perfect law – the word of God, He will help us retain and not forget the word. However, we need to keep looking so that He can help us. If we never read our Bibles, it becomes harder to retain and easier to forget the word of God

But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it–not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it–they will be blessed in what they do. James 1:25

It is the Holy Spirit that plants those thoughts in our minds that tell us to pick up the Bible and read. The Holy Spirit has spoken so many scriptures to me in times that I needed comfort and encouragement. I will mention two scriptures from the many scriptures that He has spoken to me.

Some years back, I was in an Air plane, and we had a long one hour queue and traffic waiting to take off from LaGuardia to Atlanta. I was drifting in and out of sleep, terribly bored by the long queue, as planes were taking off every one and half minute. As we patiently waited for our turn to take off, the Holy Spirit said to me, ‘He who started a good work in you will complete it.’ He also said some other time, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you.’

He quotes and refreshes relevant and right scriptures into our minds for maximum impact according to our situation and circumstance. If you are always sad, He will tell you to be grateful and rejoice in the Lord always. If your are always restless and busy without time for Him, He will tell you to be still and know that He is God.

Anytime a holy inspiration or thought enters our mind, it is by grace. We need to respond to those holy nudges and not ignore His voice. If we ignore those promptings that we have that encourage us to fellowship with the Holy Spirit and read the Bible, after a while, our hearts will deaden and harden up and we won’t hear Him often or we might even stop hearing Him. Not because He is not talking but because we have hardened and deadened our hearts. But He never leaves us or forsakes us.

After a while, He comes back to remind us of His word again. He keeps working in us and never gives up on His beloved children. He can also use judgement to make us reverse from dead paths to hear His voice. He will quote scriptures into our hearts and remind us of things He told us in the past.

Praise God, we have a faithful helper who reminds us of God’s words.

Face To Face

Face To Face

Face to face

Inside your grace

I taste love and mercy.

 

Face to face

I swim in silver rivers

And diamond lakes.

I dance on Holy Mountains.

 

Face to face,

We have Holy conversations,

Heartfelt and deep,

Touching and loving,

Intimate and uplifting.

 

Face to face,

All I see is glory and love,

Purity and truth,

Consolation and confort.

 

Face to face,

You hold me close

And never let go,

Because our hearts beat as one.

In wonder,

I swim in your love,

And drink from your side,

As mutters of ‘Daddy’ rise from deep in my throat,

To my trembling lips.

 

Jesus,

Nothing compares to this place,

Where I can see you face to face.

I adore you and love you,

With every beat of my heart,

And every breath I take.
