190 – If any man would be my disciple
When a person enlists in the army, there are certain physical, aptitude and moral standards that they must meet for each military base. A person enlisting for the army will not walk into the base with multiple tongue and face piercings. They also will pay attention to what they eat during the days leading to their assessment as well as during their time in the military if…
189 – Your peace offering
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. Leviticus 19:5 KJV In the old covenant, the priests and the people had five offerings they could offer to the Lord, two of which were compulsory: the sin offering and the whole burnt offering. However, the peace offering was an offering given at will. It is a sign of…
188 – Contend for the true faith
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1:3 KJV In the tech world, when a developer makes additions to the code for an application, they deploy them in versions, so that if there was…
187 – Ye are all brethren
Jesus set the clear expectation for all who would be relevant in his house. First, they were to be with Him. Next, they were to go as messengers to do the task He sends them and then they were to return to be with Him. We need to clearly understand that God is sufficient in Himself to do all the work. He has the power to be everywhere at any time without any loss of power…
186 – The flesh and the Spirit – two rival forces II
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law…
185- The flesh and the Spirit – two rival forces
God is a Spirit. Therefore everyone who is born of God is Spirit. In John 3:5-6 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. [6] That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the…
184 – Pleasing the King
What will make a believer to fall out of grace in this time is not necessarily what they do, but over dependence on the law to get righteousness. Under the old covenant, righteousness is a reward. However, in the new covenant, the righteousness is a gift, Romans 5:17. If we take this as a reward, it is no longer reckoned to us as a gift. The fault with the Old covenant…
183 – The Anatomy of the renewed mind VII
You can’t influence people with heaven’s agenda if your mind doesn’t glisten like heaven. Miracles done in the space of carnal Christians are solely for the purpose of entertainment. (The sign of blindness didn’t awaken Lot’s son’s in-law, or convict Lot’s wife, it didn’t correct Lot’s daughters or…
182 – The Anatomy of the Renewed mind VI
One of the vital ways you can recognize a renewed mind is not just in service to God but in the attitude of their service to God. Throughout the narrative we can see several words used to convey Abraham’s service to God: he hurried, he hurried again, he ran, he said ‘quick’! Lot did not show such…
181 – The Anatomy of the renewed mind V
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. [2] Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.…
