Pretense or Practice in God?

Testimony Time:-Good morning to all adopted Sons and Daughters of the Most High God and I welcome you to another day in His Presence.

Christ many years ago chose to die for the remission of our sins. Although this happened some 2000 years ago, it was a decision that should have eliminated all canal tendencies upon those who confidently call on Christ today.

What we have today is more of pretense than practice in our modus operandi. The sad thing is those on the pretense ladders are very colorful in speeches, appointments, robes, connections and riches.

They are capable of drawing innocent worshipers to them in drones, forgetting why Christ chose to die for us in the first place.

Let it be known that if you claim to be rich in His Words and prophecies, there is no excuse for not seeking or practicing His righteousness because you now represent the first epistle to be read by many (2 Corinthians 3:2)

Lord You have given us a Perfect Gift in Jesus Christ who died so that we can all be saved. We beseech You therefore to give us a perfect relationship with Him so that His death will not be in vain upon us. Amen

The faked Christian in us

Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Faith and welcome to another day in His Presence. For whether we live, we live for Christ and if we die, our death becomes gains only if we have followed His dictates whilst in this world. (Romans 14:8)

In the race for the Kingdom, we carry the banner that Christ lived and went through trials and temptations, was crucified, dead and risen on the third day.

We believed, we murmur and we recite in genuflect this slogan at every opportunity but usually, our conducts separate us so much from what we confess. And very ironically, these set division between us and the peace we so much clamor about. John 14:23

It is Easter Monday already and the time is still flying. We have in it another reminder purposely occasioned by God to bring us back to Christ. Will you accept Him fully? Behold Christ stands at the door of your heart, if you give the invitation without letting Him fully into your life, you can simply be classified as a "Faked Christian". Therefore, your showboating in prayer, fasting, preaching and prophecies may elucidate you before men as indeed a man/woman of God, but really and truly, you may be miles away from His Kingdom.

Lord on this day many years ago, the Angels and the world celebrated the rising of Your Son from the position of death, we ask through this Grace to make our journeys in Your Presence count in Jesus name. Amen

THEME : WEAPONS OF THE MIGHTY

DATE : MONDAY 6th APRIL 2015. (As shared by a Partner in the Kingdom Race. Please read, you will know why at the end

THEME : WEAPONS OF THE MIGHTY

Memorise:

Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; Colossian 2:14

Read: John 3:1-5

1 THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : ZECHARIAH 9-11 and MATHEW 15:1-31

Message

God is a specialist in using people who the world has rejected. He picks up those who have been written off, polishes them and turns them into great warriors of His kingdom. This is to let you know that it is not over with you yet. As long as you know whose report to believe, those who have written you off have made their greatest mistake. The name of Rahab, the harlot whose prostitution business was located where all eyes could see, was included in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5-6). Uriah’s wife, an adulteress, was also mentioned.

This is to let you know that God has a purpose for each and every one of us. His purpose can only come to pass when we accept the Lordship of Jesus. The moment Jesus comes into your life, He blots out the handwriting of the past. Your past becomes past and the former sinner becomes a saint.

David as a weapon of the Almighty God went and picked five smooth stones when he was to confront Goliath. Not five regular stones but smooth ones. Anyone who will become a weapon of the Almighty cannot afford to be ordinary. God will not use ordinary Christians but smooth ones.

It is interesting to note that when Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the fiery furnace, the fire refused to burn them because they were special children (Daniel 3:16-25). They were smooth weapons of the Almighty God. Joseph refused the lures of the wife of Potiphar because he was a smooth stone. He said he could not compromise and sin against God (Genesis 39:9).

This statement landed him in prison, yet God was waiting for him there. Colossians 3:5-6 says this
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:”

As a weapon of the Mighty, you should be able to control your body. Anyone who wants to operate under the anointing of the Most High God must not only love righteousness, but must hate iniquity. To deal with the Goliaths of this world, you need to become a smooth stone. If you discipline yourself enough to be a weapon of the Almighty, the enemy will always fail against you.

Allow the Almighty to help you pass through fire. God is interested in you and wants to bless you. He wants to use you for His glory. If you permit Him, He will do it. He can use the fire of the Holy Spirit to burn away any dross from your life so that what remains is pure and smooth.

Prayer Point :

Father, I submit myself b purification by the fire of your Spirit; use me for your glory. Amen

All about Ephesian 4:15

Testimony Time:-Good morning to you all and welcome to another opportunity where we can express ourselves in the Presence of the Lord.

God have been so great by choosing to give us our dues this morning. We may have asked for the opportunity to live through prayer, the decision in itself rests squarely with our Maker.

Now that you have been spared by God, what are you going to give Him in return?

Remember, God is Everything to us. He can be a Friend in times of trouble. But does He get the same treatment from us? The way we respond to His Love is quite synonymous to those we give back to our earthly friends-repaying good with evil.

How many promises have you broken? How many people have you used to get to your position? Just how many bridges of peace have you burnt?

As Christians, to stop loving each other is tantamount to taking the laws into our hands in the real world. We know that that alone attracts penal justice. How much more when we sin against the precepts of the Lord?

I love writing as many love preaching the Words of God. Does that makes us to be more Christian than everyone? No! The only righteous person is Christ, therefore claiming to be righteous through Him does not mean we are saints. (Romans 1:17 & Romans 3:22)

For example, if we are fond of taking money from the poor and we are rich, if we also practice usury and short changed workers, we are as guilty as those people we send to guillotine through mere suspicion of unrighteousness.

Every suspicion must have the blessings of God upon them, otherwise they are mere scarecrow. We must therefore stop playing God with ourselves, even at that "we have to be merciful to the extent of the length of heaven unto the earth and also slow in anger" (Numbers 14:18 & Psalm 103: 2-12)

Oh Lord our God, how excellent is Your name. We pray for Your Mercies so that all bitterness in us against our neighbours can be eschewed in Jesus name. Amen

Buffet,of Grace?

Testimony Time:-Good morning Children of Grace and welcome to another Buffet of Grace as set by our Redeemer today.

What is your choice going to be from the list of Grace? Are you going to dine with Christ in His abundance with Faith, where the invitation rests on things that are not seen? Or you want to follow the popular choice and gets drawn into the infatuations of the world?

What you choose is what you get, therefore do it with wisdom and understanding. Your peace of mind rests upon your choice. (Proverb 3:5)

Faith in God does not have any exclusion zone and Hebrew 11 treats this subject very well. If you are in God, there must be Christ in you at all levels and you must see all things through the Eyes of God, and not lean on our own understanding. If we remove God from the equations of our live, then we are trying to show we know more than God. (Proverbs 4:7)

As You set Buffet of Grace in our Presence today, we beseech You to give us the wisdom and understanding to delight in Your Graciousness. Give us the power to overcome the infatuations of this world that remove Your Words from our hearts. Amen

God's Garden

Testimony Time:-Good morning friends in God's Garden and welcome to another display of His Opulence.

It is a joyous thing to know or noticed we have marched into a new month called March. May this new month propel us into our destinies in Jesus name. Amen

This is a new season, what will guide you as you march into it. Are your thoughts holy enough? What about your steps? Are they confined mainly for holy acts?

We can only try, but God knows who His Children are. It is not about how you preach or the amount of followers that you can gather. It is also not about how prolific you are in writing, but it depends so much about how righteous you are, and that is between you and God. No third party can describe how righteous you are unto God, they can only speculate. More often than not, they cause confusion with their speculations even though they are guilty of more serious crimes.

Lord we beseech you to empower us with Your Strength so that we will listen to your prompts even when they are less audible. Let your glory envelope us so that we will be righteous in every encounter of ours in Jesus name. Amen

Wishing you all a happy new month.

Mr or Mrs Nice Culture

Testimony Time:-Good morning Friends in the Tabernacle of Grace, welcome to another opportunity in the Presence of God.

Please note that your position before the Lord carries so much authority. Authority to possess your blessings, to break bounds and also enjoy the fullness of God according to Psalm 23 -"goodness and mercies shall follow us all the days of our lives" and Jeremiah 29:11

However, do you know you can weaken your authorities to claim your possession before Him? This can be achieved through a lot of means. Eg. When you are weakened through lusts and desires, through anger and lasciviousness, and by not abiding in His words according to John 15:1

When you loose your anointing through unwholesome sexual adventures, your authority as men and women of God will resonates sex, so also all vices that the Lord have spoken against.

What represent your authority in the temple of God? What do you campaign about secretly with your virtues? What drive are you using to lead your congregations and what are your motives?

Mr Nice and Mrs Nice, what do you intend to get from your nice culture?

Today, you can still come back to God. Please note that you cannot plant an orange and expect to reap apple. If you are wayward in your righteousness, using smoke screen to elevate yourself in rank and through arguments, the day of God is at hand.

Lord teach us to apply our days unto your wisdom. Let your Grace elevate and position us with Your Desires in Jesus name. Amen
