Ministry To The Sinner

Image
 Ministry To The Sinner Psalms 25:8 "Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way." The sinner is one who breaks the law(s) of God simply because of disobedience or lack of knowledge of the liberating power of God and the finished work of Christ Jesus on the cross. A sinner is powerless to set himself or herself free from the power and clutches of sin thus the need of a mediator to reconcile the sinner back to God. This ministry of reconciliation to God was made possible by Christ on the cross of Calvary. We are brought into this ministry when we accept Jesus to be Lord of our lives. The sinner's chances of becoming a saint is enhanced when we accept to partner with God through Christ to reach out to the sinner. "...therefore will he teach sinners in the way." The sinner needed to be brought into the kingdom of God by an insider in the faith or by hearing the word of God. Faith for salvation from sin to Christ is activated by the word...

Sinner And Saint

Image
  Sinner And Saint Ephesians 2:18-20 "For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;..." Who is a sinner? In many religious traditions, a sinner is generally defined as someone who has violated moral or religious laws. The specific acts or behaviors considered sinful in Christianity, for example, sin is often associated with actions that go against the commandments of God as spelt out in the Bible, such as lying, stealing, or committing adultery.  Who is a saint?   In Christianity, a saint is generally seen as someone who has lived a life of exemplary faith and virtue and is believed to be in heaven if dead. Saints are generally considered to be role models and intercessors, capable of interceding with God on behalf ...

BECAUSE THE LORD SO

Image
  Because The Lord Said So St. Matthew 1:18-20 "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." In life, there can be difficult decisions to make especially about relationships and money. The reason(s) to make any particular choice can be based on many criterias. People make decisions because majority of the people are making the same decision and in a bit not to be left behind, they make the same decision. Decisions can be made because a famous person made the same decision. Not minding what the final outc...

Every Man A Measure

Image
  Every Man A Measure St. Matthew 25:15 "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey." Jesus taught many of his teachings in parables. By this, he gave his teachings some degree of depths and at the same time, only the serious minded gave attention to the lessons in the teachings. One such teachings was the parable of the talent. Parables are stories with deeper meaning. They make lessons taught to be easily understood. This parable in question is one among others about the kingdom of God. God gave gifts or talent or responsibilities to men, what becomes of the talent is up to them. No one is left out in the share of the talent. "...to every man according to his several ability..." One is given more than the other. There is no one left out. Whether big or small, every man (man or woman) was (and is) given according to his ability i.e. capacity. We will not be m...

IMPORTANCE OF REVELATION

Image
 Why The Revelation St. Matthew 1:22, 23: "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." If the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. There is a lifestyle that is 'AS USUAL' and there is another lifestyle that is 'SUPERNATURAL'. The 'AS USUAL' life will do things to please or conform to the natural principle and laws while the lifestyle conform to the 'SUPERNATURAL' will do things to conform to the supernatural, spiritual laws and principles. You can never get supernatural results doing business as usual. God will bring you into the supernatural by revelation and unfolding of His plans. This is what happened before the birth of Jesus Christ. This is where parents should watch and take heed to what God is saying before the...

GIFTS FOR JESUS

Image
  Gifts For Jesus St. Matthew 2:1,10-11 "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,.. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." What is a gift? A gift is something that is given to someone without the expectation of receiving anything in return.  Gifts can be a wonderful way to show someone that you care about them and appreciate them. There are many different types of gifts that you can give, and the best gift will depend on the recipient's interests and preferences. In general, gifts can be a meaningful and enjoyable way to express one's feelings and strengthen relationships with others. They can bring joy and happiness to both ...

WELL ADJUSTED IN GOD'S KINGDOM

Image
Well Adjusted In God's Kingdom Romans 12:1-2 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." For you to have any measurable success and peace of mind you need to know how to conduct affiars and consciously practice what works in your own peculiar situation. In God's kingdom, affairs are conducted by the word of God. The will of God concerning anything and everything (including everyone) is known by His word. Once the will of God is known, that will in question is accomplished by the grace that is available and comes by Him. The word of God has potential power to change any man from failure to success, from sinner to saint, from slavery to freedom, from bondage to salvation. To be well ...

THE DETRACTOR OF GOD'S KINGDOM

Image
  2 Corinthians 4:3-4 "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." Every kingdom has some way to maintain law and order. In some kingdoms, those who have taken lawlessness to the extreme are served with serious punishment. Orderliness is checked so that the kingdom can achieve a greater degree of success. The detractor(s) are brought to book by some form of enforcement. If not checked by law enforcement, disorderliness will reign in the kingdom. If checked, lawlessness is stopped and success can easily be attained. In God's kingdom, there is this lawless one who is bent on making disciples of as many as possible out of the faithful citizens of God's kingdom. The lawless one is called the devil. He will not stop until he has caused disorder and destroy the lives of many by ultim...

CARRYING THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Image
  Carrying The King's Presence Genesis 39:2 "And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian..." Prosperity and success does not come by accident. Men and women who acted according to specific rules and principles will meet success along their way. The domain any man operates will determine what rules governs his or her actions. Consistency in taking the right actions will trigger either success or failure. Success will come if the actions are triggered by responsible and tested principles. Failure will come when carelessness is put into play. One principle that will guarantee success in God's kingdom is the practice of 'GOD'S PRESENCE'. It has been proven time without number that consciously practicing God's presence brings success. True peace and happiness comes by knowing that God is able to do all things and by knowing how to walk with Him and for Him, a presence of God's glory will ...

GOD OWNS EVERYTHING

Image
 He Owns It Psalms 24:1-2 "The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods." Just look at everything around you. It was all started by God according to scripture (Genesis 1). The trees, land, birds, sky, cloud, stars, moon and all. God gave man wisdom to produce the artificial things we see like the cars, clothes and the vast amount of artificial things produced by man from natural resources. Whoever started this, is great. While there are many theories suggesting other origins of creation, it is the highest form of wisdom to accept the biblical account. If God started it all, that means He owns it and can do with it as He so will. Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." This is the song sang in heaven. All the heavenly hosts k...

WORK AND LABOUR

Image
  Gift Of Work And Labour Genesis 2:2 "And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made." (Highlight on 'WORK' is mine). Depending on how we see and define work will determine what we consider work and how we go about it. The first worker as recorded in the Bible was God himself. The creation of the world is the work of God. Today can we see something and call it your handiwork? If daily you go somewhere and you tell people that you are going to work, if we get to the place, can we see your handiwork? Thank God we can see you bring money home but when we get there, can we see something tangible and thank God that you are working? From the Bible translation from which the word 'WORK' was derived in Genesis 2:2: "... "And on the seventh day God ended his work..." The word signified an effort put in to play to cause something good or bad to happen. So, we can say that ...

BEYOND THE STORM

  Beyond The Storm: Awaking Jesus St. Mark 4:35-39 "And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." Storms in life do come. When things go out of control. When ends tend not to meet. When serious live's questions seems not to get answers. Storms are meant to be overcomed. Where did the storm comes from in the first place? The adversary! The adversary specializes in creating storms. The greater one who is greater than the adversary ...

OPTIMIZATION IN GOD'S KINGDOM

Image
Optimization For And With The King St. Matthew 14:19-21 "And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children." Optimization is the concept of setting a system to minimize waste and increase chances of success. When a family is always throwing away food in the waste bin and not looking for ways to use the excess either for itself or for others, optimization is not put to work. When an organization is not looking for better ways to save time and not finding cheaper ways of getting things done, it is not optimizing. God loves for His people to optimize. No one is richer than God yet it is His pattern to optimize His operati...

LICENSE TO BE USED

Image
  License To Be Used 2 Timothy 2:19-21 "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work." License is an indication of right to use or to be used. Do you have the license to be a citizen of God's Kingdom? Does God have the license to use you for His purpose? In both cases, there is need of license, either from God or from man. "... the foundation of God standeth sure, ... The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity." The basis for licensing for man is to depart from iniquity i...

HIS KINGDOM

Image
 His Kingdom Psalms 45:6 "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre." God will be powerless without subjects loyal and faithful to His leadership. God is the King of glory. Utmost display of glory can be fully seen in God. He is the King of Kings. This suggests that all Kings, whether of physical nations of territory of people or of spiritual Kings of spirits (angels, demons and of human spirits dead or alive). All Kings are subject to Him. He can install or remove a King at will. If all Kings are subject to Him, then all faithfuls to the Kings are subject to Him as well if they will abide to His rules. He does not impose His will on any man but has given every man a free will to choose. At the end of the day, the subjects will be judge according to His will whether they are faithful to Him or not. As a King, God has a throne. His throne is established in righteousness and justice. All subjects of His authority must submit to His ...
