Knowledge Of The Measure Of His Power In You

       The world system says knowledge is power. Meaning when you are aware of a thing, it is near impossible to be overcome by it. With this knowledge, one can influence or change his/her situation. If we believe this to be true, why do we think this idea do not apply to the things of God? Now, the knowledge of God we have is by faith. Sadly, many have misconstrued faith to be blissfully ignorant of God’s commands, expecting things around them to change and work-out for them, according to some imagined concepts in their mind. 
       Knowledge without application is useless, powerless and of no benefit to the bearer. Adam was told: “But you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die” (Genesis 2:17). His and the woman’s failure to appropriate (apply/own) this knowledge cost them the Garden. If we know the tools/skills we need to affect our space without appropriating by applying them, we will be fruitless in our spaces. We were put in this world and the places we occupy to affect it for the Kingdom of God. It then follows that at the end of it all, each person will answer to Who put them here: “For we are His creation – created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). 
       Beloved, it is not enough to know God’s Word, but how well have you appropriated the bit you know into your daily living? When the enemy comes to whisper lies that have a semblance of truth in them because of what you can see and feel, how do you respond? Do you buy into his lies that God is unable to do that which He had said concerning you? We are told: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, in Christ…” (Ephesians 1:3) and “For His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and goodness” (2Peter 1:3). These words and many more are not just for us to know them but to appropriate them by faith into our lives, because that which concerns you is done and settled in Christ! 
       As we come to know the realities in Jesus Christ, His multifaceted wisdom, we are bold, we have access and confidence in Him. We KNOW and are assured that ALL that He had said and promised will SURELY come to pass. Thus, we walk and move in this assurance, silencing the whispers of the enemy and his agents along our path! Do not operate with the mindset of the elder brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32). As a son working with his father, he should have known that ALL that belonged to the father, belonged to him. Rather he was serving his father with the mindset of a slave, forgetting that a slave has no rights in the home but the son has rights as he owns the home: “’Son,’ he said to him, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours’” (Luke 15:31). 
       But there is a condition for the promises of God to come to play in our lives. Apart from believing God concerning the promises, the extent to which the promises come to pass in our lives, is the extent of how much of His power we wield. Remember: “For it is God Who is working in you, enabling you both to will and to act for His good purpose” (Philippians 2:13). When we submit totally to Jesus Christ in obedience, the power of God moves mightily in and through us. “Now to the One who is able to do beyond all things, superabundantly beyond and over and above those things that we are asking for ourselves and considering, in the measure of the power which is operative in us” (Ephesians 3:20, WUEST). God cannot move in you beyond the measure of the power you wield. 
       Beloved, stand up from the seat that you don’t want to be in and claim the rights Jesus Christ had given to you. We have direct access to Him, thus, we can operate in complete confidence and boldness in Him. Study and meditate in His Word, so you can grow in the power and wisdom of God. It is not automatic, but we must desire to want to know MORE of Him. God bless you as you pursue to know Him more!

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 ...

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...

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...
