Full Measure of Grace, Mercy And Peace

Full Measure of Grace, Mercy And Peace

May mercy, peace, and love be yours in full measure. Jude 1_2 Good News Translation.png

May mercy, peace, and love be yours in full measure. Jude 1:2 Good News Translation

May God give you more and more mercy, peace, and love. Jude 1:2 New Living Translation

May grace and peace be yours in full measure through your knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 1:2

Those who are saying “we have everything we need, we don’t need anything else because Jesus died for us “ repent. Jesus redeemed us and saved us so that we can be wise and grow. He did not die for us to be spiritually foolish, lazy and idle. Do we really want to be the foolish virgins who refuse to put oil in their lamps? The Holy Spirit is our helper and we need Him.

Jesus is the high priest that meets our needs. We have spiritual needs and we need to approach the throne of grace to receive grace and help in time of need. God will supply our needs according to His riches in glory but we need to acknowledge our needs and our need for God.

You say, ‘I am rich and well off; I have all I need.’ But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are! You are poor, naked, and blind. Revelation 3:17

Those who refuse to seek God’s face and wait upon Him for full measure of grace are not acting wisely. The oil in the parable of the wise and foolish virgins symbolizes the Holy Spirit and the lamp symbolizes our spirits that are temples of the Holy Spirit. When our spirits are filled with the Holy Spirit who is like our spiritual oil and water (presence) we become one of the wise virgins that waited upon the Lord. Oil and water symbolize spiritual presence.

May our lamps be filled to overflowing with oil. May our lights never dim or flicker out.

We Are From God

We Are From God

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. (1 John 5_19 ESV).png

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. (1 John 5:19 ESV)

God planted us in this world as light of the world and salt of the earth. If the Bible says we are from God then we are from God. We are not from Him so that we can bring disgrace, dishonor and disrepute to Him name but we are from Him so that we can shine as examples to the world and bring glory and honor to His name.

May we always act in such a way that the world will marvel and stand in awe of our God.

Stamp Of Approval

Stamp Of Approval

Exodus 33_ 15-16 NIV.png

The Glory Of God

Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33: 15-16 NIV

For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” Exodus 33:16

The anointing of the Holy Spirit is a stamp of approval. By anointing you with power and glory, God is saying that you are His messenger and vessel. He is also saying that He is with you and is pleased with you. If we examine the Scriptures above closely, we will see that Moses is saying that God’s manifest presence accompanying them is evidence that they have found grace or favor in His sight.

The anointing shows that God is pleased with the anointed vessel. It is not everyone that can carry God’s manifest presence. God’s anointing is not for those who are selfish, greedy, drunk, covetous and hurtful. It is for the compassionate and selfless.

We cannot have it both ways. It is either we are for God or not for God. We cannot yield our flesh to evil, sin, laziness, idleness, and lukewarmness and expect the miraculous – there is no wisdom in that kind of mentality and those who persist in such error open themselves up to deception and demonic power. We are not greater that our master, Jesus – God requires cleanliness, dedication and purity before His manifest presence can rest upon us.

The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 NIV

The LORD replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest–everything will be fine for you.” Exodus 33:14 New Living Translation

It is only the vessels of honor who have cleansed themselves that get clothed with the manifest presence of God. Jesus, Moses and Paul were well known vessels of honor. No one can deny that God was very pleased with them. They found favor and grace in God’s sight.

And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17

May we seek to please God always and may God be pleased with us.

Spotless Virgins

Spotless Virgins

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 1 Corinthians 11_2

I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him. 1 Corinthians 11:2

Jesus is the miracle man and wonder working one and the greatest wonder is when He makes us mature and blameless in Him. He wants us to become virgins. He is looking for a church that does not have spots, blemishes and wrinkles. It is possible by the grace of God. All we need to do is keep our lamps burning instead of sleeping.

In the physical, we from being virgins to not being virgins and in the spiritual, we go from not being virgins to becoming spotless virgins. Glory to God, our God is amazing. By the blood of Jesus, the word of God and the glory of God, Jesus cleanses us and purifies us to the glory of God the father. All we have to do is surrender and yield to His word, grace and power.

We have been promised to one husband alone and He is the word of God, mercy, glory, grace and life. The Spirit and the bride say, “come Lord Jesus. ” Amen.

Completeness

Completeness

Become complete. Be of good comfort (2 Corinthians 13_11 NKJV).png

Become complete. Be of good comfort. (2 Corinthians 13:11 NKJV)

Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11 NKJV)

Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:4

To be complete is to be whole and to get whole is to be holy. This godly reminder is instructing us to become complete. Jesus was complete and Paul was complete. It does not mean that we become perfect the way God is perfect but it means constant desire to please God and being mature in Christ and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. It means being blameless and keeping our vessels holy as we become vessels of honor. It is possible because the Scripture above is telling us to be complete.

Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Hebrews 13:20-21 NKJV)

Only the blood of Jesus can make us clean and complete because it washes away our sins and empowers us with grace to live a godly life. It is not by our own power or might. It is only God that will make us complete through the blood of the everlasting covenant as we desire and pray for all grace from the throne of grace.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10

All grace is what leads to completeness. May all grace be upon us in Jesus name.

The Excellent Way

The Excellent Way

brunch (5)

But covet earnestly the best gifts, and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV

But earnestly desire and strive for the greater gifts [if acquiring them is going to be your goal]. And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one of the choicest graces and the highest of them all: unselfish love]. 1 Corinthians 12:31 AMP

The Bible instructs us to pursue love and calls love the perfect and excellent way. God is love. So we see that pursuing love is the same as pursuing God and pursuing God is pursuing love. We are instructed to seek and pursue love. Seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness means seeking love.

Gifts, knowledge, wisdom, faith etc are good but the Bible never called them the excellent way or the perfect way – the Bible calls love the excellent and perfect way. Knowledge, wisdom, faith etc are all means to an end. The end result must be love.

When the perfect comes the imperfect will disappear. When we are filled with love for God and one another and practice love, all the imperfect including fear will disappear, fade and pass away because perfect love casts out all fear. When we are filled with love and pray, the aura of love will surround us. That aura is power. Without love and purity, there will be no power. Any power that comes without love and purity is demonic, magical and destructive. Love is the only true way.

There is a good way and an excellent way. There are many good ways but love is the only excellent way and is the greatest of all virtues and fruits.

Slaves Of Holiness

Slaves Of Holiness

So now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness (Romans 6:19 NKJV)

But now you have been set free from sin and are the slaves of God. Your gain is a life fully dedicated to him, and the result is eternal life. Romans 6:22

The Bible says that we are slaves of holiness. We are no longer salves of sin and the devil, but we are now salves of Christ and holiness. It is a very good thing to be a slave of God and holiness because that means that we are slaves of life. If we are salves of life for our own good and protection, then, that is a good thing.

Anyone who looks at it like a burden is not yet a sincere believer. A sincere believer glories and rejoices in holiness and righteousness. He is very pleased to do good and be married to goodness. His life is not all about selfishness and methods of how to acquire wealth and blessings – that is the life of pagans and mammon worshipers.

For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:32

You are either pursuing blessings or you are pursing and pleasing God. You can’t pursue both at the same time. You can only prioritize and make one superior to the other or just focus on pleasing God with the firm unyielding belief that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. That is true faith – as you seek His face, you make pleasing Him the only priority.

The Bible commands us to seek His kingdom and righteousness but never commanded us to seek, pant and lust after blessings and materiality which can be a god or idol in place of God. The Bible commands us to pray for our needs and seek God’s face and that is what we should do as we please Him and walk in Christ.

Jesus is the high priest that meets our needs and our spiritual needs are more important than the physical needs. When we are clean, spiritually, our physical lives will be fine. We must be clean from the inside out, not from the outside in. Pagans clean the outside and leave the inside or inner man dead, dirty and rotten. They are so deed that they are not even aware of the deadness on the inside. That is because the outer man has caged and blinded the inner man. Our physical needs must never take precedence over our spiritual needs or pleasing God.

God worshippers love pleasing God and humans above and beyond blessings. When they are in a place of temptation to harm someone else for selfish pleasure, money or material reward, they overcome the temptations because they have their priorities right. They have determined in advance to love God and man above blessings and materiality.

Owe no man anything, but to love one another, for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8

The life of a true believer is centered around Christ and God consciousness. He is constantly aware that He must appreciate God’s redemption by pleasing Him always in response to His great love. He is very aware that he owes love to his fellow humans. He is free from evil and sin but not free from doing good. He owes his neighbor goodness, purity and love. He is a slave of goodness and holiness and loves it.

He Gives Us The Right Words

He Gives Us The Right Words

The Spirit Of The Lord

31: He gives us the right words.

 

For the words you will speak will not be yours; they will come from the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Mathew 10:20

And when you are arrested and taken to court, do not worry ahead of time about what you are going to say; when the time comes, say whatever is then given to you. For the words you speak will not be yours; they will come from the Holy Spirit. Mark 13:11

The Holy Spirit gives us the right words. Words are very important in life and spoken words can make you or break you. The right words can help you in difficult situations and the right words can lead to your promotion. The right words can also draw people to the gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit. The right words also enable us to acquire, sustain and maintain healthy relationships.

It is the Holy Spirit, in His infinite wisdom that gives us the right words at the critical time we need them the most. In this Scripture Jesus promised the Apostles that the Holy Spirit would give them the right words in time of trouble.

If we remain in fellowship and communion with the Holy Spirit, He will certainly give us the right words and words of wisdom that will deliver and promote us.

I Don’t Care

I Don’t Care

Revelations, Visions and Messages 3

3. Lord, I am sorry I was angry today

For us to become mature Christians, we must get to the place of “I don’t care.” I don’t care will save you from bitterness, anger and revenge. I remember a long time ago,  a boy I knew so well, who was just four years old was being persuaded to fight back nastily against a female bully in his class.

This four year old boy gave so many reasons why he would not do so. He said he would get into trouble with his teacher, but he was still being persuaded to treat his bully the way his bully was treating him – Nasty. Finally, he screamed, I don’t care, I don’t care, it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter! I marvelled at this boys angelic nature.

This boy had super confidence and he was not going to change his nature because of a naughty four year old bully. Does it really matter? It does not matter and it does not matter who is right or wrong – we must stop anger, bitterness, ill-will, revenge and all manner of fighting.

Some people might ask if I am encouraging people to remain silent when bulled. No, I am not . I am simply saying that fighting back tit for tat and fighting dirty and competing with the super bully on who is the “bulliest” and “baddest.” is wrong and encourages revenge and ill-will. By the way I know that there is no word like bulliest and baddest. I am using the word baddest as a slang.

That boy is grown up now and he is a confident boy. That episode of bullying never changed him into a victim.

The key is to teach children and adults the importance of confidence and conflict resolution. Emotional intelligence is a great key to happiness and peace. They must also be taught interpersonal and coping skills. That way, they will not be traumatised. Children must also be encouraged to report bullies because some children are super sensitive and find it difficult to cope.

This post is not about bullying. I told a story to illustrate and emphasise a point. The point is we must try not to care too much about other people’s words and opinions when we do not have power as humans to control or change their behaviours and opinions.

When we care too much we loose power to the nasty. We must look inwards and up to God to be able to cope and react rationally to nastiness.

We must get to a place of complete resilience and mental toughness. I hope I don’t sound like I am boasting, but recently, I have noticed that I am never bothered by what people say to me, say about me, and do to me. I simply don’t care and I say it that I don’t care. I can’t be bothered. I even go out of my way to be nice to people who are nasty to me and I just don’t feel angry at them. I don’t care. However, I make sure I am not intimate with them.

The Lord taught me about the secret and principle of not being intimate with enemies or people who hate me or cause me to sin. I am not saying you should be sleeping with the enemy or wining, dining and dancing with the enemy – that does not fall under not caring, it is silliness. Jesus was never intimate with His enemies and the only enemy He was intimate with betrayed Him and sold Him and that led to His death. However, it had to happen so that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.

I am surprised that I am this way however, it is not by my own power. I spend hours everyday in the presence of God, so God is doing His work in me. He is the one that is sanctifying and purifying me. I just know that I don’t care about a lot of things that people cry and fight over.

Sometime ago, someone made me angry and I went to bed angry. The Lord took me in a trance to the first heaven to covert a human being who belongs to that kingdom in order to make her an Evangelist. I led her into the sinners prayer and I am waiting for her to repent. Everyone I have prayed for in visions, dreams and trances always became true believers.

As we were ascending up into the first heaven to enter into that kingdom, the first thing I said was, “Lord I am sorry I was angry today.” My anger had become a gap in our relationship and my Spirit apologised to the Lord before we could continue with the mission. When I came out of the trance I realised that when Paul advised us never to go to bed angry he was not joking. I realised that if we die with anger in our hearts, it is not good. God wants spotless purity and it is possible. He wants us to constantly put on our white garments. I am not perfect but I have realised that spending time in God’s presence helps to activate His cleansing, sanctifying presence.

May we all get to high levels of mental toughness and emotional intelligence and not care about irrelevant things. May God give us the grace to overlook insults and offences because our offenders are human and we too are human and not perfect.

Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. Proverbs 12:16 NIV

When a fool is annoyed, he quickly lets it be known. Smart people will ignore an insult. Proverbs 12:16 Good news bible

A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted. Proverbs 12:16New Living Translation

A fool’s displeasure is known at once, but whoever ignores an insult is sensible. Proverbs 12:16 Holman Christian Translation
