The Quest



If you have carefully observed, the human being had been fashioned by God to seek ‘something’ that is greater than him/herself. The quest for this has led so many into dangerous paths, desires and passions that have led and are leading so many astray. This is not new as this quest is as old as creation. The Pharisees at one time asked the Lord Jesus Christ when the Kingdom of God will come. This question is loaded with many assumptions: One could deduce that the Pharisees desired to see this Kingdom being preached about by Christ and a desire to know and recognize it because they believe it is their inheritance. Unfortunately, I bet they were disappointed with the reply Jesus Christ gave them, like so many do today, they will expect a supernatural shaking or phenomenon that will herald this Kingdom and at the same time distinguish it from others. However, Jesus Christ replied: “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you” (Luke 17: 20b-21, NLT). Some versions say: “because the Kingdom of God is within you.” This simply means, every born again child of God carries the Kingdom within him/her. No wonder Jesus told Nicodemus that except he is born again, born of water and the Spirit, such cannot see nor enter the Kingdom. That was the only condition given to us to be partakers of the Kingdom of God.
Friend, you have searched high and low for that seemingly elusive “joy and satisfaction”, as a result you embarked on relationships and lifestyles that you know in your heart are not doing you any good. Don’t fret! Jesus Christ is knocking on the door of your heart to give you rest and a way out of this ‘quest’. Your part in this is to allow Him in, believe and accept Him. All that you are on a quest for according to His will is in Him. The Bible tells us that all things, visible and invincible were created by and for Him (Colossians 1:16b). He has promised you a life of abundance if only you will come to Him: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). I am not saying all your problems will disappear all at once, but He is promising to show you how and instruct you in the way you should go. The Kingdom is indeed within you if only you will release your heart to Him; you will discover that all you need to live a good and satisfying life is all yours for the asking. He promised us that if we ask for even the nations He will give them to us. Nothing is too big for Him to give to you after all He gave His Son to die for the world! Please bow your heart and ask Him in and you will be pleasantly surprised. God bless you.

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
