National
Conference holding on 10-12 October, 2019.
GOD of WONDERS!
Come
and have a Mountain Top Experience in 2019. Your life is set to have an
unforgetable transformation. Obadiah 1:17
(KJV) "But upon mount
Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house o
Jacob shall possess their possessions".
Glory be to God.
JUDAH NIGHT: Turning The Tide
Through Praise
Thanks for the success of the
wonderful Praise Night held on 28 July 2012 at 5:00pm in
our Church Auditorium.
God bless you.
2Chronicles 20:22 "And when they began to sing and
to praise, the Lord
set ambushments against the children of Ammons, Moab, and mount seir,
which were come against Judah; and they were smitten."
Patience is a
virtue we
all want to have but unfortunately
it only comes from being in the furnace. So smile when the king orders
that the
furnace be heated seven times because a Greater King needs the fire to
mould
your CROWN. Hebrews 12:11 says "Now no chastening for the present
seemeth
to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the
peaceable fruit
of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."
The
failure of many is not a good reason for you not to try and
keep going as the Bible says. "But we are not of them who draw back
unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the
soul" Hebrews 10:39
Forgiveness
is free but Trust is earned. One is obtained by confession
but the other by action. Be faithful in the little things God has
committed to you.
The
Brook will not dry up and the Ravens cease to supply
your
daily rations unless God has a widow ready in your Zarephath. The rain
of Manna will not stop falling unless the Corn of your promised land is
ripe for harvesting. When Man stops helping you, God takes over. When
Man leaves you, God announces His presence. "Blessed is the
man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is." Jeremiah
17:7.
Things God Will
Enforce
Without a doubt God takes special pleasure in enforcing certain things
more than others. If we undestand them we will learn to align ourselves
with him in his agenda for this flitting world. God will enforce Hiscounsel.
Ephesians 1:11 makes us to understand that he works everything
according to the counsel of His will so that His counsel will always
stand. Find out His counsel for your life and the situation you are in
right now and stop chasing a mirage. Closely related to this is that
God will always enforce His
word.
The foundation for the word of God has been laid in heaven and is not
subject to change on earth. Rather than seeking to change the word we
will do well to change for the word. In life there are two ways to
live, either according to the flesh or according to the spirit. Most of
us are in effective christians because we want the best of the two
kingdoms refusing to declare our total allegiance to God. God will also
always enforce His
covenant
provided the other party to the covenant remains faithful. He appears
to the joy of them that tremble at His word. Lastly, God enforces the destiny of them
that put their
trust in him. To the church in Philadephia He said "I know thy works:
behold, I have set before thee and open door, and no man can shut it:
for thou has
a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name".
So it is not about how large a force is required to open
certain
doors but who is trying to open it because the right combination is
required.
Walking in The
Supernatural
Upon
becoming born
again, Paul in Romans 6:1-5 encourages us to walk in the newness of life.
Speaking in the same vein in 2Corinthians 5:17 Paul asserted that all
things in and around the believer has become new. We know that those
things do not physically change but our views
both about ourselves and about things around us change. The change in
the view of the believer is what we call faith.
Thus the
frontier of the operation of the believer becomes expanded because of divine presence as
a result of
worshipping in Spirit and in truth. Divine presence makes you a harbinger of the supernatural
extending your natural into the realm of the supernatural. One single
and crucial step that helps you to walk into the realm of the
supernatural is obedience.
The
factor that activates
the power in
the word of God is your ready and complete obedience. To
live in
obedience we have to abandon our
traditional 'high horses' and securities
in the form of defences hidden in such things as education, position,
connection, pride, rationalisation and lies to name a
few.

The
Instruments of Our
Worship
I
want to believe that it is the desire of every child of God to worship
Him in an acceptable way. We need certain instruments in our armoury
(since it is part of our spiritual battle) if our worship is
to rise to God as a sweet smelling savour. To be
successful
worshippers we must worship with joyfulness
and with gladness.
God takes this very seriously as indicated in Deuteronomy 28:45-47. To
carry these instruments while wearing our garments of praise
means we must focus our gaze on heavenly things as in Colossians 3:1-4.
To praise God effectively is to ascribe greater importance to the
things of God. When your life goals become your destination you cannot
praise God effectively. As every priest has something to sacrifice, so
you must sacrifice
yourself in
the first instance. When you have been broken but only fixed or mended
by the Grace of God you will loose all pride. At that point you are
ready to honour God in your absolute obedienece to ALL His words. Since
you are constantly washed by the water of the word holiness becomes
less of a mirage. Closely linked to this is that our worship must be according to knowledge
of God
Romans 10:1-3. Very importantly if you are not to fall along the way
you must partner with the Holy
Spirit
while avoiding seducing spirits that foster pride and unwatchfulness.
The same Holy spirit continues to remind you of your identity in Jesus
so that you are not defined by your circumstances. To listen to this

The Vine Branch
To the Christian
the measure
of the quality of an idea or
principle should be how much of Christ is in it. The attached branch is
fed on the word of God. That is why Paul admonished Timothy in 2
Timothy 2:15 to rightly divide the word of truth. The implication of
this is that the word works best when undistorted by our
personal
idiosyncracies. A truely healthy branch remains attached to the tree
trunk even in adversity. The trunk supplies the nutrients and controls the branch. The branch on
its part produces after the kind of tree trunk that bears it. As the
branch cannot withstand some storms on its own without the tree trunk
so also a child of God needs the inner strength supplied by God through
his word. As a child of God, your peace derives from your
ongoing
connection to the source of peace. In fact your success also depends on
this connection as your hope and tomorrow. For he says "say ye
to the
righteous
it is well with him."
He also ensures your provision according to heaven's economy and
directs your steps. To listen to this message click here.
The Way of The
Overcomers
To be an
overcomer means
there are obstacles and hinderances to
get over, defeat or overcome by mastering. The overcomer is destined to
be a pillar in the house of God Revelation 3:12. For the Christian, the
starting point is to overcome the self and it's desires. The issues in
self account for a big percentage of the Christian work to be
done in total sumission to the Holy Spirt and the Word of God. This
process of maturation, growth and sanctification is perfected in
trials, persecutions and tribulations. It is assigned to ALL who will
live godly in Christ Jesus to suffer persecution 2 Timothy 3:12.
According to a
writer the
Humanist Christian that removes God as the
centre and focus of their faith but instead promote self
actualisation is
bound to
fail the required tests. The Traditional Christian in his bid to achieve perfection
of
delivery
ends up mortgaging content. Both of these groups pick and choose what
parts of the word of God are doable or appear logical to
their
intellectual leanings. Obecdience to the word is thrown out of the
window and emphasis are determined by social and political exigensis.
The True
believers on the
other hand accept their flaws and
also accept the perfection
that
comes with grace.
They follow Spiritual principles and hold to the word as a
way of
life. They are true worshippers that worship in Spirit and in truth. If

The Word
That Counts
The word of God
must be the
final authority in the life of every
child of God. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are
the children of God. Jesus said "the word that I speak to you they are
Spirit and they are Life". So it can be safely said that as
many
as are led by the word of God (because it is Spirit), they are the
children of God.Your blessings will not depend on how much of the word
of God that you know but on how much of the word of God that you do.
The same God that hates divorce also hates lies, lack of integrity,
unfaithfulness, manipulations, dissensions, rebellions, envy, jealousy,
false prophecy and all forms of uncleaniness. In Proverbs 30:28
God considers as wise the Spider that weaves his way to the
palace. As a child of God, where do you consider as your
final
destination or palace? This will determine your approach to the things
you do. Nothing is too small to do for God. Your reward is in your
diligence in carrying out heavenly assignments wherever you are
positioned. To listen to this message click here.
