The personal Jesus

When the Master said, I will beckon on my father to give you another comforterHe meant giving us a personal Jesus. The Lord Holy Spirit is your personal Jesus.You have a personal Jesus 24hrs a day and 365 days a year. The word comforter inthat verse connotes a one called or summoned to one’s aid, He is called to goalongside you, to bring help when you are in trouble. Even when you mess up andloose your way, He is there to plead your case and your cause.He said “another” comforter. The word “another” is very important in the Lord’scontruction of that statement. You see Jesus Himself was a comforter, a helper, anintercessor and an advocate. These sentiments are communicated about Jesus in thevolume of the bible. For instance John says,“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, JesusChrist the righteous......1 John 2:1KJV”So Jesus is an advocate. He was the intercessor and mediator between God andman. He was the sinner’s access to God and brought God to the sinner.So Paul says, “For there is one God, and one mediator between Godand men, the man Christ Jesus;.......1 Timothy 2:5KJV”He was so a mediator that He even went to the cross for the sinner.Jesus was a helper. When you see that son of Galilee through the pictures of thegospel, He was more than a helper. He brought healing to the sick, hope to thehopeless, food to the hungry, he saved those who were drowning in the midst ofthe sea and brought salvation to the damned. He was and still is the number onehelper.
Though all these were wonderful, there was a limitation. You see, Jesus had a bodyof His own and hence could be at one place at a time. He brought help to whereHe was. Even though He could command help at distant places, you needed tocome personally to Him to ask. He didn’t go to the gentile lands so they didn’texperience his love and help, the gentiles who got his help needed to come to himin Israel.The Holy Spirit has become all that Jesus was but even more, for in the HolyGhost you now have your personal Jesus. Anyone no matter where you live on theglobe can have a personal Jesus. Think about it, a “Jesus” for only you. Glory be toGod! You have a Jesus for only you. This is the meaning of “ I will plead the fatherto send you another comforter”.Jesus talking about the Holy Ghost said,“ I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.......John 14:18KJV”Isnt that lovely? Jesus knew He was talking about the Holy Ghost yet He didn’t say“He will come to you” but “I will come to you”. The Lord Himself knows that theHoly Spirit comes to be your personal Jesus. Be saying it every day, “ I have apersonal Jesus”. Yes! He is your personal Jesus in the morning, afternoon and atevening time.This is why paul refers the Holy spirit as the the Spirit of Christ. This is themeaning of Christ in you, the hope of glory. Halleluiah!The Holy Spirit is the carrier of the presence of Jesus.“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwellin you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none ofhis......Romans 8:9KJV”You have a personal Jesus! Blessed be God forever more

A Doctrine of Error

There are many Christians who have been brain washed to the extent of believing the words of men over Jesus Himself. They believe in a doctrine termed as “One saved always saved”. This doctrine propagates a falsehood that, no matter what andhow a Christian lives his salvation is secured. It’s eternal security no matter what. It sounds nice to the ears and appeals to the lust of their flesh. The problem is that these people lack an understanding of Christianity. Such a doctrine is from the pitof hell and unscriptural. Men and women who propagates such a Gospel twist scriptures to fit their message. Many of them are cunning. The Bible says, “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried aboutwith every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.....Ephesians 4:14KJV”

His Word Never Contradicts

There are some people who cast unwholesome remarks on God’s Word. They mock and scoff at the Word, making statements like “the Word contradict Himself”. This is indeed foolishness and a lack of respect for God and His Word.God’s words are perfect and pure, forever consistent. Like the Psalmist says, He has preserved it from generation to generation. The fact that someone doesn’t teach the Word rightly and makes Him say what He didn’t say, doesn’t mean the Word isuntrue and contradictory. I have studied God’s Word over the years and found no contradiction. His Word is as perfect as Him.We have to understand, that man tries to find the truth whilst God knows all the truth. Hence only man and not God can be wrong. The Word of God can never be wrong but man’s interpretation can be. A minister not understandingeverything in God’s Word doesn’t necessary mean He or she is not from God but if you meet any Minister who attests to God’s Word being contradictory then you follow such an one at your own peril. You shouldn’t follow any person like that.Not only that but any person who claims there are different truths in God’s Word shouldn’t be followed. God’s Word is pureThis is why it is important to follow a man or woman truly called of God, not one called of men. There is a difference. God’s Word is perfect, consistent and of absolute integrity. God is not confused. For instance, now that the church is divided over pretribulation, mid tribulation and post tribulation rapture, it doesn’t mean that the truth is not in the Word ofGod. The truth on that matter is in God’s Word. Which of them is the truth? Its that which is consistent with the total body of revelation of God’s Word. God is not confused about the rapture, men are. If there are two doctrines, which contradict each other, both can never be right. God’s Word is consistent, pure and as silver tried in an earthly furnace. Translators can make mistake but that doesn’t mean the manuscript was inconsistent. Hebrew and Greek translators try to give you what they believe Godwas saying, it doesn’t mean necessarily that they were always right. All translations are wonderful but the best I will suggest to you is the King James version. It’s because of these limitations that God in His wisdom calls Ministers and anointthem to guide His Children in the Word. In your quest to know the truth, always go with the understanding that God’sWord is consistent, accurate and never contradictory. The contradictory denominational teachings came because of the human element. Paul taught the same truth in all the different churches
“For this cause I have sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved son and faithful in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church....1 Corinthian 4:17KJV”

It's no more your life

Colossians 3:4 KJVWhen Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Paul said, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.....Philippians 1:21KJV”. This man understood the mystery of Christianity. He says, as long as I live it’s going to be about Christ.Christianity is the call to live the life of another. It’s called the heavenly calling. You have been called to live the life of Jesus Christ, His life and not your life. Anything about you that is not consistent with His life is unacceptable and willgain you no reward at the last day. It’s either Christ or nothing. He is the only standard acceptable to God, nothing less.You have no right to love the way you want to. It will gain you nothing at the end. The standard is Christ. He is the reference point, He is the cornerstone. He is the reference point for the temple, which is being built, that great edifice and everystone is supposed to be laid in reference to Him. Any stone fashioned not after Christ is unacceptable in the temple. In Christianity, you don’t choose how you want things to be done. The moment you do things the way you want it to be done, it means you didn’t die with Christ on the cross but Christianity suggest you did. You have to understand that there are two aspects of your identification with Christ, the positional and vital. By position, you died with Christ but it’s that true experientially? Are you living as someone who died with Christ, to allow Christ live in and through you? To be a Christian means to live in the Name of Jesus. Be careful what you do in His name. Does how you love conform to His character?
When you get this understanding, you won’t love the way you want to but how Heloves.This is what Paul means when He says, “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which isthe head, even Christ:.....Ephesians 4:15KJV” God wants you to be like Jesus in all things, not some things but in all things. Hewants you to reach a stage where people can’t differentiate between you and Christ. This is the purpose of spiritual growth, growing to be like Him in all things. Jesus wouldn’t choose Mary and His Brethren over the Word of God “While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thymother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, andmother....Matthew 12:46-50KJV”Do you support your wife, husband, mother, father, and friends when they are to be blamed? Do you do that because of your relationship with them? Then Christ is not the one living through you. You are still living Beloved, understand the true meaning of Christianity. It’s not about going to Church every Sunday. Is Christ the one living in and through you?God bless you!

Jesus at the centre

Matthew 6:33KJVBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;and all these things shall be added unto you.
 
The attitude and way of life of the Jews in their relationship with God underJudaism becomes a picture of how true Christianity ought to be.From the exodus from Egypt to their stay in the land of promise, their lives werebuilt around their system of worship and religion.They were career men and craftsmen yet their central locus and focus had to dowith their system of religion. Their lives were built around that religion. Thereligion was not a side thing but their main theme for living, for their existence.God was at the center. You will observe this important fact in your study of theOld Testament. Their lives were built around the commandments, ordinances,appointments, convocations, feasts and festivals. These took the center stage oftheir lives. God planned it so. The Jew may have been a physician, a fisherman, asoldier in the army but Judaism was central to his life. Due to this, the veryuneducated was very much acquainted with that way of life in Judaism.The sad thing is that this is not what you find with some Christians, the oppositehas become the order of their lives. They have made their careers the main thingand the Church the side thing. The Church rather has become the addition, theadd on. So they rather try to find time for Kingdom activities and purposes. Theywill have to consider their leisure time to see if they can get time for Church andKingdom work. This is not wisdom.As a Christian, you have to understand that as far as God is concerned, you are inthis world primarily because of the Kingdom purposes and plan. The day that Jesusreturns which is very soon (about a decade from now), He Jesus is not going to askus about careers, university degrees, buildings or how much money we couldaccumulate. He will ask you about the Kingdom work that He left you on thisearth to do. This is how every Christian is going to be assessed. In this Kingdom work, there are certain responsibilities which are common to all Christians (likeevangelism) and others differing from one to the other. These are what you aregoing to give an account on. Not only these but how your life on earth glorifiedthe Kingdom. Jesus said,“ For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, andgave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded theporter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of thehouse cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in themorning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto youI say unto all, Watch..... Mark 13:34-37KJV”Jesus says, I say unto all. Apparently this work that Jesus talked about was notcareers and jobs because even though Peter, Andrew, James and John werefishermen, we don’t find them returning to engage in this work following thedeparture of the Master to Heaven. What they went forth doing then give us anunderstanding of the work that Jesus was talking about.Beloved! Put important things in first place and let side things be side things.Don’t interchange. Jesus said,“(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Fatherknoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom ofGod, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added untoyou....Matthew 6:32-33KJV”All the things that the world also seeks after are the side things. Do unbelievers goto school, do they ride cars, do they build houses, are they also doctors, lawyers,engineers etc etc? These are the side things; don’t make them the main things.

Prove the scriptures

Matthew 22:29KJVJesus answered and said unto them, “Ye do err, not knowingthe Scriptures, nor the power of God.
The Bible says,“Prove all things;hold fast that which is good....1 Thessalonians 5:21KJV”As a Christian, you have been instructed not to just run with anything you hear.You are to prove. You just don’t build your life on something just because it’s adenominational tradition. Truth is not church traditions; Truth is the Word ofGodGod doesn’t have different Truths for different churches. There is only one Truth.Paul says,“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of yourcalling;One Lord, one faith, one baptism,One God and Father of all, who isabove all, and through all, and in you all....Ephesians 4:4-6KJV”Again, He says“For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, andfaithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways whichbe in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.....1 Corinthians 4:17KJV”Paul taught his ways in Christ, the same truth in every church. There wasn’t oneTruth for the Church at Corinth and another Truth for the Church atThessalonicaTherefore when you find different churches teaching different doctrines, it tells youthat there is a big problem, someone is teaching his own mind somewhere For instance, there are a group of Christians who believe in a pretribulationrapture, that is a rapture of the Church before the great tribulation. The othermajor group believes that the Church will go through the tribulation before therapture. These two views are directly opposed to each other and hence both cannotbe true.We are in the end of the end times, the very end of this world and as Jesus said,many will come with all kinds of information.Even well known men of God will be saying all kinds of things. This is why youought to be careful.Faith is directional; the fact that a Man of God does signs and wonders doesn’tmean that everything he says becomes the truth.Truth should always be proven by the Holy Scriptures. And every truth should becoherent with the total revelation of God’s Word; it shouldn’t contradict any otherpart of Scriptures. It shouldn’t agree with some Scriptures and contradict otherScriptures for all Scriptures were inspired of the same true God.The problem is that there are people who because of pride wont accept that theydon’t fully understand what they are preaching and hence will come up with allkinds of terminologies. They will say, this is our perspective. Christians aresupposed to go with only God’s perspective and its called TruthThe Bible says that,“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, butgiveth grace unto the humble....James 4:6KJV”God is not the problem or cause for the wrong doctrines and church traditions butthe pride of man.They all want to be right at all cost when even Scriptures show that they are wrong.Therefore you have to make a decision whether to go by Church traditions or thevery Word of God but remember that we are not going to give account to God ingroups but as individualsGod bless you!

Spiritual Blindness

Matthew 16:1-3KJVThe Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and temptingdesired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. Heanswered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, Itwill be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It willbe foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O yehypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye notdiscern the signs of the times?
The Bible talking of the people who came to David while he kept himself fromKing Saul at Ziklag mentions the sons of Issachar, He says“And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding ofthe times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were twohundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment......1 Chronicles12:32KJV”Scripture says, that the sons of Issachar had understanding of the times and becausethey understood the times, they knew what Israel was supposed to do. We live intimes where because many Christians are ignorant and have no understanding ofwhat is really happening in the world, they are in a fix.You are not going to be protected in these times just because you cry to God. Youhave to understand the times you live in so as to know what you ought to do.Jesus wasn’t happy when the Jews couldn’t discern the signs of the times in whichthey lived in.Christians and their leaders require wisdom to engage the current situation.Wisdom will bring you insight, she will give you understanding. Wisdom says,
“Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I havestrength......Proverbs 8:14KJV”Last year, I spoke through the Spirit that diseases were coming that science and themedical world would struggle at. I went on to saying that when such times comesChristians who have not been taking the Word of God seriously will be casualties.You have to understand the times the world is in. There was a shift in the realm ofthe spirit this year and things are no longer going to be the same. Things are notgoing to be the same in the world. This is not to say that they wont find a solutionto the pandemic but that there will different striking events in the world in theyears ahead. The Master is preparing to come and satan knows that his time is veryshort so evil is going to increase. Things are been put in place which will usher inthe anti-christ and in some very soon years to come he will show forth but now isnot his time. These are the early signs and things, which must first happen toprovide him with the platform.God has done all He should to protect the Christian in these times but ifChristians will not get hold of the Word and live according to their identity inChrist, they will be casualties because the world and their medical solutions aren’tgoing to be enough. Don’t joke with the Word of God especially in these times.Wisdom says,
“ Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and noman regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of myreproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as awhirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they callupon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall notfind me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear ofthe LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.....Proverbs 1:24-30KJV”Don’t hate knowledge for wisdom says that,“He who despises the Word will be destroyed, But he who fears thecommandment will be rewarded....Proverb 13:13KJV”

The Covering Of Love

The word covenant connotes a covering; it gives you security and protection fromsomething evil as long as the terms of the covenant is obeyed. Every covenantcomes with its terms; it’s like a contract. For instance, the Jews walked in blessingsand God’s protection when they obeyed the Law of the covenant but failure toobey God’s commandment led to great suffering, it was called the curse of the Law.The New covenant gave birth to the Christian, this covenant is the covenant oflove. There are those who have been wrongly taught to believe that because ofGrace they can go on living anyhow and there wouldn’t be any consequences. Thisis not true; it’s a lie from the pit of hell.The New covenant is a covenant of love. You are not just advised to love yourfellow brethren but obligated to love.When you become a Christian, you are made a member of the body of Christ. Inthe body, every member is responsible for another. Be careful how you treat othermembers of the body of ChristThere are certain in-house judgments that go on periodically against membersinjuring the body of Christ. Not many preachers will tell you what I just said but itis true. Be careful how you live as a Christian. How you live in the body is veryimportant. Paul said,“ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of Goddwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy;for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are........1 Corinthians 3:16-17KJV”
The Christians at Corinth were not walking in love and Paul had to warn them.He explained to them why many were falling sick and dying prematurely. It wasbecause they were not dwelling in love. Paul said,“For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. For ifwe would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged,we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with theworld........ 1 Corinthians 11:30-32KJV”These folks were eating the communion whilst not walking in love, this was an actcontrary to what the communion stood for hence Paul said, you drink damnationto yourself, not understanding the Lord’s body.It matters understanding the spiritual significance behind what you do in Church.Over the years, I have found out that many churches carry out ordinances andsacraments not really understanding their spiritual implications. It’s very sad. Godis not a God of the flesh; He is not interested in the act but the spiritualsignificance.Christianity is not a license to live anyhow, there are rules that govern theChristian life and it’s important to examine yourself whether you are living inaccordance with such rules.Paul says,“For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged”Its imperative for the Christian to have moments of reflections where you examineyourself whether you are living according to the Christian culture, a culture boundby love and faith. You cannot be living like the world.
