OBEDIENCE

whose word do you take?
This morning this is the question the Spirit of the LORD  asked me.whose word do you take?  Luke 24:9 when they came back from the tomb, they told all this things to the eleven and all the others. verse 11 but they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them as nonsense. wow! well it is not as easy but neither is it difficult the question is whose word are you going to believe? God speaks to us everyday every minute but we push Him away because of  the fears of the world.we choose not to walk in His path, because when we do we have to let other things in our life go, sometime it may cost you your job, it may cost you your friends. these are some of the question that we get in our minds. How is it going to be? how will i handle myself? i need finances, i need all this to survive for am not going to be pain to my people. I love my friend i can't loose him/her. well He knows this and he knows that you need all that you need. It does terrify doesn't it? this is the time that we need to hold on unto His word. All i need to know is that if He calls me i should trust that he is going to provide right?. It sounds impossible but in impossibilities there is where we see God. Tricky but there is no shortcut all there is, is to believe in His word. we have been really brainwashed by the opinion of the world that the word of God has no much effect on us. if only we could believe then we can testify much more than what we see happened  in the first church. There is so much power in His word that if we take it as it is the devil will look at us and be terrified. when you choose to stand by the word, people won't believe you, actually they won't support you, just like the women who came from the tomb, they told them the truth what the angels of God had said to them but they didn't believe them, and most of the time we are afraid to speak out what God have said to us because to people it seems irrelevant, we are so afraid of saying to people things that will not make sense to them. but we forget whose side as a believer are you in? I have realized i don"t have to make sense, i trust in His word. there is a lot that God says in our everyday life but we shy out, the power lies in speaking what you hear and receive from Him in doing this you build your confidence in His word and this opens up more opportunity to hearing from Him. for when we give we receive, say it let it not make sense to many but OBEY God's word and greater things will come your way. It is by grace that we receive from GOD.

Destitute to Glorious

In the book of John 5  it is a story of a man who was helpless, and we are all in this status without Jesus Christ. But most of us are not even aware of this, its a realm not seen with our physical eyes but our spiritual eyes. Many of us think that we are okay, and that it is just natural to go through what we go through after all who doesn't have issues in their life?  That is what we see and know but there is much more than what we see and what we know. The word of God tells us that my people perish due to lack of knowledge and this is very true. And this truth is only found in HIS Word. verse 6 when Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time he asked him. Do you want to get well? sir he replied i have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. 
This is the state that most of us are in, willing but not able, what we see is the condition we are in and the impossibilities, failure. We fail to see the bigger picture that there is one who is able to see us and knows our condition. most of the time is when He usually ask us do you want to get well? Do you want to get out of that condition?, but we are always busy saying it is impossible rather than just saying a simple word YES. He don't need your explanation for He knows everything. We just need to say YES. Jesus never asked him why are you here? but he asked him do you want to get well? In-fact even before he had talked to him  He knew he had been there for 38 years. this has never changed He knows how long you have been there. This man just started complaining how other people get into the pool before him, these is what  most of us do we complain how others are doing better than us.We compare ourselves with others, here is where we loose the mark. Our father doesn't need all this explanations, Jesus did answer every question we were to answer, when we do these explanations we try to show up our own righteousness. we forget that our heavenly father needs no explanation from us. Jesus answered every question He took us from nothing and has put us in a position where we have everything, that is our position now. verse 8 Jesus said to him up pick up your mat and walk. This is exactly what happened at the cross Jesus said to us get up and walk but most of us are still lying complaining about our conditions where else we were already taken out of this conditions. What we need to do is to know our position in Christ and before our father, this is a victory itself for its just the beginning to move to higher heights in our fathers kingdom.My brother and sister : if indeed Christ did pay all my debt why then am i still in this condition? remember being destitute is not your cup for if I and Christ are one and Christ in the father then all i need is just pick up my mat and go, for i was destined to grow from glory to glory that is my position in Jesus Christ.

Shalom.

There is a saying that says, survival for the fittest we can grade  this yeah but how does it come? everyone have dreams that deep down their heart they look forward to achieve some day. but some of us never get to see them.  many dreams are cut short, due to fears, due to discouragements from people close to us, lack of support, and at large poverty. can they be overcome? of course  yes people who were in our situation made it so we have a higher probability lets not give up in easily.There is hope for everyone, all you need is just to hold on keep telling yourself that you can make it that you can doi it. say it untill it comes to pass, what we confess have much power over our life's.
