FOOD FOR TEENS: Know Thyself part two

Image
Continue from last edition…  2. The Spirit of Life in Christ: The reason why the message of Christ is called the gospel meaning the ‘good news’ is because of what Christ has done in the realm of the Spirit and anyone who believes and accept Him must also understand that the work of Jesus was done in our spirit and with that consciousness, we will begin to enjoy the fruit of Christ.  Our destiny as new creations in Christ is the identity of Jesus Himself (1st John 4:17b) “Because as he is, so are we in this world.” Colossians 2:10, “we are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Galatians 2:20, “I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” These and so many other scriptures tells you about your new identity in Christ Jesus. As soon as a person confesses Christ, he or she ceas...

TRUE LIVING

Image
Hello beloved, I welcome you to the month of March. I hope you are increasing in grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I will like to admonish you on what I titled TRUE LIVING.  Do you know that God cannot lie? Every word that comes out of His mouth is the truth. The scriptures made us to understand that it is the devil that is a liar (John 8:44). Anything God says is the truth, though you may not measure up to it or see it that way or even understand it because He says in Isaiah 55:8-9 that, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my thoughts than your thoughts.” Your thoughts may not be able to grasp it but what He has said is the truth and no man can change it.  The Lord revealed to me; He said, “There are many dead people around, though they walk with their feet but they are dead. If your living is not for souls to be accrued to the kingdom then such a p...

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: Let It Go

Image
Hello my beloved saints, glory to God almighty for carrying us to match gloriously not just into this year, but into the awesome month of February. All things will work better for your good this month in the name of Jesus. May the manifestation of God through His word gain expression in your life in Jesus name. This month, I will be sharing with you on what I titled, “LET IT GO.” Someone may ask, what am I letting go? God wants you to let go, shave somethings that tends to be or stand as a limitation to your progress and upliftment. Do you know something? God wants your life beautiful and prosperous. I so much love the way the New Living Translation put it. “For I know the plans I have for you, “says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disasters, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11). #rd John 2 says, “Beloved, I will above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as your soul prospereth.” You see God’s plan and desire for you? But you ...

FOOD FOR TEENS: Know Thyself part one

Hello teens, welcome to another month of God’s favour and prosperity. Hope you are growing in the knowledge of God? A large number of believers do not know who they are, if someone asks a believer a question such as tell me about yourself, or someone asks a believer ‘who are you?’ By their response you will be able to see and understand that a lot of believers do not really know who they are. You will hear responses such as “ I am so an so by name, I live in so and so place, I am from so and so place, I am so and so in complexion , I am tall or short, I am so and so by profession and so on and so forth. They will tell you their likes and dislikes, hobbies and what they do for fun, what drives them and all that. These things on their own are not wrong but to base your identity on everything your five senses can assimilate means that you do not really know who you are as a believer and you are thereby selling yourself short.  The first thing you have to know about ...

THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD PART TWO

Image
Continue from December edition….   In the life of Jesus on earth, you will discover that He never called God master. He called Him (God) my Father. He understood the fatherhood of God and He is trying to teach it to us, that your God is not a God of vengeance. The Bible says in John 8:35, “And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.” If you call yourself a servant, this means you are in the kingdom for a while and very soon you will be out. But if you understand that you are a child of God, it means that the kingdom belongs to you because it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom. The kingdom belongs to those who are sons, not servants.    God is your Father because you are born of God, 1st Peter 1:23, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.” The same word that gave birth to Jesus is the same word that gave birth to you. John 16:27, “For t...

IT'S NOT WORTH IT: DON'T DESPISE THE WORD OF GOD

Image
Beloved, I heartedly welcome you into the year 2019. May all that God has prepared for you this year become a reality in your life in Jesus name. As this year commences, we must bear in mind and understand the very source of our lives and living is God. And to enjoy all that God has prepared for you this year, you must be ready to follow Him as He leads and instruct you in every aspect and facet of your life. Refusal to lay down your reasoning and opinions and follow His own will, there are consequences, hence this admonition.  Many of us have put ourselves in a place of the know it all, we think we can saddle the affairs of our lives and seem not to follow the bishop of our lives for proper directions through life storm and tempest. The Bible says in 1st Corinthians 1:25, “…the foolishness of God is wiser than men.” Did you just read that? In your praised wisdom by men, it is God’s foolishness. Why not follow yourself and follow as He leads and avoid dire consequences y...

Hello dearly beloved, happy New Year, I welcome you into the year 2019. I believe you are growing in the grace and wisdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We continue from last month edition…  Stage 2 :The matured or the perfect believer. (1st Corinthians 2:6-26)  From verses 6-16 of 1st Corinthians, Apostle Paul began to open our eyes to see the attributes of a matured believer is absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit for direction and wisdom to become productive. The matured Christian is more interested in breaking into the intelligence, the wisdom and the counsel of God for every situation. Romans 8:14, “For as many are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.”  Below are some qualities of a matured believer.  1. Their ultimate goal is geared towards the kingdom. Everything a matured Christian does is not for himself/herself per se but to fulfill the will of the Father. They understand that in their everyday lives they c...
