LABOUR NOT TO BE RICH

LABOUR NOT TO BE RICH

The book of proverb split it out clearly when He said in (PROVERBS 23:4-5) 4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

Being rich is not a bad thing, but to the unwise its destruction. When we learn the scriptures, we learn about the saints of old. And how they never deviated from the service of the Lord, though the God has given them what they needed to have a great life on earth.

An Example is the man David, He was a person named after God Heart. Meaning the Lord was pleased with Him always, not because He didn't make mistakes. For he did, and repented for it. But the reason why he pleased the Lord was because, he choose to move by faith rather the riches. He sorted his situation by the responding in faith, rather than depending on riches.

Hebrews 10:38 says, the just shall live by faith, meaning he shall live by trusting on the Word of God. The life which Christ has brought us, is a life of the Word through God's Spirit.

The book of Matthew tells us about one o f the sermons of the Lord Jesus. He said 'seek first the kingdom of God and everything will be added you'. As Christians we need not labour to be rich why because we were born rich. So don't set your life goal on earth be achieving riches, but set your focus in life on achieving the Kingdom of God.

For before realizing it you have already achieved what it will have taken someone years to accomplish. All by acting on His Word.

Confession

I live a heavenly life, I dont try to be rich because I am rich. I was born that way, for riches are  part of my heritage. So I live my life trusting and acting on His Word, which guides and instrucst me always. Hallelujah.

WE REIGN AND RULE IN HIS NAME
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:18-19).

In our opening scripture, Jesus said, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." The word "power" here is the Greek "exousia"; it means authority. "All power," not "some power," has been given to Jesus, in heaven and in earth.

The Bible says in Colossians 2:15, "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it." When Jesus died, He didn’t ascend to heaven immediately; He had been made sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21), and had to go to hell on behalf of all men. When He got to hell, there was an actual combat between Jesus and the forces of darkness. The Bible says "...the hostile princes and rulers He shook off from Himself, and boldly displayed them as His conquests…" (Colossians 2:15 WNT).
In hell, Jesus invaded Satan’s domain, whipped him and all his demons, and came out triumphantly from the grave. When He came out, He said to His disciples, "All hail!" (Matthew 28:9). It was a shout of victory, because He’d conquered Satan for us and given us dominion over the powers of darkness. Now, it doesn’t matter whatever hierarchy of demons exist, we’re superior to them; they’re under our feet.
 No wonder He says, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Luke 10:19). As we spread the message of Christ, taking the Gospel to the nations of the world, we ought to be conscious of our authority and dominion in Christ Jesus. We’re His ambassadors; we’re to keep reigning and ruling in His Name, making pupils of the nations, and filling the earth with the glory of His presence. Hallelujah!

Confession

I’m born of God and therefore, I’ve overcome the world. My faith is producing results; I’m walking in victory and dominion over Satan and circumstances, for the greater One lives in me. Hallelujah!

Be zealous For Christ

BE ZEALOUS FOR CHRIST

Apostle Paul wrote to the Church in Corinth (2 cor 9:2), praising Achaiah for their willingness and zeal, which has stirred up the majority of the believers. That is very amazing. A lot of times we go to church with various mindsets. Such as the mind of alienation. Meaning we always like to live an excluded life from the crowd. Example, when evangelism or any other program outside Sunday service is announced, most people immediate count themselves out. But that shouldn't be the case for a child of God. The Bible says in Matt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world..., which means you are sent to give direction.

Paul wrote in 1Cor 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. The character of Christ Jesus was the Character of ministration (helping). And the beautiful thing about this is, so is God. John 5:19 Jesus exclaimed  For whatever the Father does, the Son also does these things in the same way. Now the Father in you is the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:14 says For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For the Spirit of God may prompt you to do something in Church or elsewhere, when that happen do it. and the blessings of God shall surely be multiplied to you. 

Prayer

Dear Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, that the zeal in serving you, may abound continuously. That your glory will be manifested to all, now and always. Amen.

Rapsody of Realities - Maintain a Good Conscience

MAINTAIN A GOOD CONSCIENCE

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1 Timothy 6:10).

Anyone who can do anything, not minding whether it’s right or wrong to get money, exhibits the love of money that the Lord warns against. From day to day, people struggle and get involved in excessive activities in a bid to make more money. This shouldn’t be the case with you. Never find yourself doing things that aren’t consistent with your nature in Christ, just because you want to get more money.

The Bible says, "But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness" (1 Timothy 6:11). He wants you to live a godly life; He wants you to focus on the expression and demonstration of His righteousness. He wants you to be forthright in all your dealings.

As you serve the Lord, be motivated by your love for Him, and your passion for the expansion of His Kingdom. Refuse to be distracted by the cares of this life. Jesus said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33). When you burn with passion for the Lord, for the establishment of His Kingdom in the earth and in the hearts of men, all the beautiful things of life that men seek after, shall be yours; you wouldn’t need to seek after them.

 So, don’t be unjust because of money. Maintain a good conscience: "Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck" (1 Timothy 1:19). As the seed of Abraham, the world is yours. There may be many in the world today who, against good conscience, will do anything for money; but you’re different. You play by a different set of rules. You don’t have any reason to fret or be perturbed about anything, because all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21).

Confession
My conscience is purified, because I have the mind of Christ. I walk in the path of righteousness for His Name’s sake, living in all good conscience void of offence toward God, and toward man, to the glory and praise of God. Amen.

Principles For life

PRINCIPLES FOR LIFE 

Christianity is a life based on laws and principles, but for now we will like to choose principle for our grand subject. Firstly, what are principles? Principles are fundamental truth that serves as a guide.

The Bible helps us know that Christ Jesus gave us some principles to life by. Infact those principles are what helps every Christian, gain the level of Spiritually mindedness and peace, needed for or Journey of success in Christ Jesus. The book of Luke 6:27 - 38 He says .....I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. 
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Now as simple as those principles are, these are, the basic foundation that every Christian should be founded upon, and that is what the ministry of the Spirit does in your life. He teaches you to emulate the Character of Christ. The Bible says in 1 Pet 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Jesus saved the very people that set themselves as his enemies. Which probably included us. For if Christ would have, reciprocated hatred with hatred none of us would have been saved. 

In 1Cor 11:1 Paul wrote Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Jesus always walked in love, and took Joy in it . The Bible says for the Joy that that was set before him endured the cross Jesus showed kindness to his enemies with the joy to see them glorified with Him. And now he needs you to walk with that principle.

Matt 5:14 says, ye are the light of the world... and He goes on in the 16th verse ....Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. So the darker the darkness in mens hearts the brighter your light should shine.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank for your Word today. I know you word has power to continue to set me to live the way you need for my life. Therefore today I ask you to help me prohibit you character Now and always In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

Rapsody - Give Him your Attention

GIVE HIM YOUR ATTENTION
Listen to what I am saying; pay attention to what I am telling you (Isaiah 28:23 GNB).

Some people don’t pay attention to the different activities of the Spirit that happen during the service when they’re in Church. They get carried away such that even though the presence and power of God could be so strong in that environment, their lives are not improved, because they’re distracted.

Your undivided attention is so vital each time you’re in the presence of the Lord in the Church, and even during your personal devotions. God always has something special for you, a word for you that’ll increase your glory, but you’ve got to pay the right currency—your attention. When you give Him your attention, you get everything He has for you.


God’s Word is God’s answer, and with your attention, you allow its free entrance into your spirit, until it changes your frame of mind, your way of thinking, and influences your words and delivers your inheritance to you. So, in praying to, and worshipping the Lord, always let it be from your spirit, with focus and attention. That way, the Spirit will minister to you, even as you minister to Him.


Give the Lord your attention; give Him your heart; give Him your mind. Let Him minister to you, and through you. Hebrews 10:22 says, "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith…." This doesn’t mean to "come close" to God, because you’re already in Him, and He in you. Rather, it refers to turning your attention to Him, making Him your focus. It’s a terminology that refers to a consciousness of your spirit, because we can’t draw any nearer to Him than we already did; we’re one with Him.

 Howbeit, our hearts can be far away. That’s why the Bible says, "draw near with a true heart." So, every opportunity you have to fellowship with the Lord, give Him your full attention, and open your heart to receive all He has for you.

Prayer
Blessed Lord, I thank you for the blessing of serving you, and worshipping you from my spirit. You’re all that thrills my soul; you’re more than life to me! I love you, precious Holy Spirit, and my whole heart is focused on you even now, to receive your glorious touch, and be transformed in your presence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The way to life

 

CHRIST JESUS THE ENTRANCE TO SALVATION

The bible gives us understanding about the Word of God and the testimony that God gave concerning Him.
The Bible says the Son of God came as prophesied by the prophets (Isaiah 7:14) that a Saviour will be coming, who will bring salvation and deliver all Gods Children out of Sin.
These arose a lot of expectation on how the Son of God will be or look, not knowing the Mind of God.
As many people knew, Jesus Christ came or was born in a mangier not what people expected (Luke 2:7), but to prove Him to the World God sent an angel.

He delivered this message to three shepherds and when He has completed something Happened. The bible says the Heavens opened and armies of angel started singing and singing to the arrival of the true king (Luke 2:13).
The Bible helps us understand that though He was a king He was submissive to His purpose by dwelling among us. Why should I accept Christ?
Accepting Christ is very important and not to be taken likely for to reject Him is to reject the testimony that God said concerning Him (Matthew 3:17). God teaches us that it matters not how many good deeds you have done. If you do not become born again you will likely not be able to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:3).

The bible says in John 3:16 "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that who so ever believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life." For Jesus came for the doubted to give knowledge to such and for the rejected to give Hope . Don't Wait the time to accept Christ is now.

SEE WITH HIS LIGHT

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13).

Our opening text states your present position in the presence of God. You’re located there now. You’ve been translated from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. That’s where you live, and that’s the perspective from which you should see everything in life. You’re not weak or poor. You’re loaded and sufficient in all things; you have everything you’ll ever require for life and godliness.

You’re a success and you’re moving from glory to glory. See the glory of God on your life, and refuse to see things from another perspective. The Bible says, "Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God" (Psalm 87:3). Live in the reality of who you are in Christ. God’s Word is light; use His light to see the glorious things that He’s spoken concerning you.

When an X-ray is turned on you, it has no consideration for whatever is placed under it; it’s directed straight to your bones. In the same way, the Word of God is directed to the human spirit. When the Word of God tells you something, it’s according to the light of God; how God sees it. For example, in Revelation 2:9, Jesus said to the Church in Smyrna, "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich)…." The people might have been living in penury, but Jesus said they were rich.

You may be reading this and you’re in debt, but if you’re a child of God, you’re rich. That’s exactly how God sees you in the Word—rich! All the time you were waiting on Him to "do something" so you could pay your rent, He was actually expecting you to rise up to who you are. He’s not aware that you’re broke or poor, because whenever He looks at you, He sees an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ; the possessor of all things.

See with His light, and you’ll discover that what you thought was an impediment has no foundation. See with His light and you’ll always be at peace, because all you see will be solutions and your inevitable victories. Hallelujah!

Confession 
I’m in the light of God; I see with, and by that light! I’m what He says I am, and I have what He says I have, and I can do what He says I can do. He’s given me all things freely to enjoy. And I’m living from a position of rest, knowing that I’m a joint-heir with Christ.

How to Recieve from God

RECEIVE FROM GOD

The Verse in Mark 9:23 quotes ...All things are possible to him who believes!" For the scriptures says in Romans 3:4 ......let God be true, but every man a liar. Which means let anything that contradict Gods Word be untrue. Living that way is what helps grow your faith strong to receive form the Lord. ...for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). In other words come with faith, because .....without faith it is impossible to please (God).  But as a born again man or woman you already have faith, for Romans 12:3 said ... God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

The  measure of faith here can be compared to a young plant, which needs nutrients and water to grow. So the more you gives it what it requires, the faster it becomes a full grown tree, able to give you it fruits and shade from the early afternoon sun.

In Mark 9:23 also teaches about the way to receive from God. He quote .....I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. In other words when you pray either for a job or any other thing that you need God to do for you, have the conviction that you received. Confess it and act it and it will be surely manifested to you. 

Prayer
Dear Father, in the name of Jesus I thank you for given me whatever I asked for. For I know you hear me always, I praise you and adore you for the answer you have given me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
