THE UNIVERSAL CULTURE OF THE KINGDOM

The kingdom of God is the only Kingdom without geographical, national, racial, tribal, ethnic and religious boundaries. Its values and principles are universal and timeless.



When Joshua encountered the captain of the army of the lord, the scripture says, “and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. Jos: 5:13-14



Nay implies, I am neither for…

Spiritual Transformation Part-2

Spiritual transformation begins with a new identity in Christ . Salvation is a defining experience in which we literally become new persons . We take on the identity of Jesus . This is such a profound , definitive experience that it can be said God gives believers a new spiritual DNA , a new genetic origin , a new nature . Believers are set apart for God’s glory at the moment of new birth in Chris ( John 3:5-6 ) and they become part of the household of God- joint heirs with Christ (…

THE POWER OF THE BLOOD COVENANT

                            

 POWER OF THE BLOOD-COVENANT

 

One day I received a call for urgent prayer in a certain family that had the potential for a very big bust up but I was given no details. 

As soon as I heard this at once I went on my knees and did not know how to pray or what to pray for and so I just held the complete situation before the Father and I claimed all the blessings that belong to them under this…

Revival?

Greetings Bro. and Sisters in the Lord,

   I have this message on my heart and am compelled to share it.

I hear the words in the church... Revival! and yet;

Right now there is talk of much division. One says the message is being watered down and sin is rampant in the church. The other says we are too condemning and self righteous that we are…

Spiritual Transformation

As a leader in your church , the most important thing to grasp about spiritual transformation is its source . Spiritual transformation is a God-thing . At its nucleus , spiritual transformation requires repentance and total trust in God to dramatically change what we could never change ourselves . Being in every worship service or taking every church class offered won’t make it happen . Participating in a multitude of ministries won’t bring it about . Fasting won’t cinch it . Realizing that…

Jesus Has Ordained Us Part-2

Those chosen have the opportunity to accept their availability of service . This doctrine is called election , which is God’s plan to bring salvation to His people and His world . The Bible uses words like choose , predestinate , save , ordain , and call to indicate that God has entered into a special relationship with individuals and groups through whom He has decided to fulfill His purpose within the history of salvation . God’s providence allows Him to guide human history to accomplish…

Jesus Has Ordained Us Part-1

 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you , and ordained you , that ye should go and bring forth fruit , and that your fruit should remain :  that whatsoever ye shell ask of the Father in my name , he may give it you ( John 15:16 , KJV ) .  Jesus did not write a book and lay out all His instructions on how to build the kingdom of God . They became living books on which He had imprinted His love and message . Jesus wanted the world to see , touch , and feel His message-not just…

Greetings

Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and

detestable idolatry. They are surprised that you…

Mount up with Wings

 

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."--Isaiah 40:31

Learning From The Scriptures.

I have heard our brothers and sisters quoting diff scriptures and this is the word of God so it is good but do we understand what we are to learn from it? Our Lord taught in stories and riddles. Even the Apostles asked Jesus why he did not speak plainly to the people. It is designed that even years of semenary can not teach you. Only a personal relationship with the…

THE TEST OF FAITH

THE TEST OF FAITH

 

How long, comes the cry from my weary soul

Oh Lord, I cannot go on any longer.

Oh, don’t give up weary one,

It’s to make your faith stronger.

 

But ah, O Lord, my prayer seems as if it has not reached

For heaven seems like brass.

Ah, no loved one, I have heard your prayer

But the test you must…

"Let Us Give UP"

The great missionary statesman Hudson Taylor said, "Let us give up our work, our plans, ourselves, our lives, our loved ones, our influence, our rights into God's hand, and then when we have given all to Him there will be nothing left for us to be troubled about."

Jesus Call Us To Friendship Part-2

He has told us all that  we need to know the kingdom of God . We are His partners and He has shared His heart and His mind with us . We know His plans and His purpose in the world . We work  with Him as joint heirs to heaven . Paul says it well in Romans ( 8: 15-17 ) . For you did not receive a Spirit that makes you a slave again to fear , but you received the Spirit of sonship . And by him we cry ''Abba , Father .'' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's…

Presence of God

I had an opportunity to travel to Asheville, NC on my Birthday yesterday and ended the trip at a high elevation of 5000 plus at Craybeard Mountain.  At the highest top of the mountain, God was present, I felt the cloud cross my face, the coolness of the breeze and the quiet peace of God.  How often do we stop to allow God to reveal HIS presence.  We need to take more time for God and find HIM in that Special Place.  I feel so revived and I am thankful to see another Birthday, Praise…

BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR

Dearly Beloved,

BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR

"Then the LORD said, 'I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son'" (Genesis 18:10 NIV).

Wonders never end. Sarah and Abraham seemed to say when God told them that they would have their own child "about this time next year" (Genesis 17:15-16, 19-21; 18:10, 13-14). How would a man of hundred years impregnate a woman of ninety years? Naturally, it is impossible! Sarah laughed it off,…

WORSHIP REDEFINED!

 (When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,(Hallowed be thy name)



For so long, our definition of worship has been limited to special moments when we sing, lift up our hands and praise the name of the lord. There is nothing wrong with singing, lifting up holy hands and…

Jesus Call Us To Friendship

Jesus call us to friendship . Greater love hath on man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant

Knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you friends; for all things that I have made known unto you ( John 15:13-15, KJV ). Up to this time Jesus had called His disciples servants or douloi. This is a title of honor. Moses was called the doulos of God or the…

THE LOOK OF FAITH

 

THE LOOK OF FAITH

 

The Bible says in Numbers 21: 9  “And Moses made a serpent of brass and put it upon a pole.

And it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, if he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

 

The children of Israel because of murmuring and discontentment found fiery serpents in their midst and thousands lost their lives.  As soon as they cried out to Moses…
