MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD

Image
  To manifest means to make evident or certain by showing or displaying. Romans 8:19  says ‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God’. It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. According to Acts 11:26, the people observed Christ through their actions, words, manners, and so on. I believe that Christianity is a lifestyle, not just a religious practice. To be considered His son, we must follow the way Jesus lived and adhere to the scriptures.  DOING GOOD, AND HEALING PEOPLE: Acts of the Apostles 10:38 ‘And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him’. It's our responsibility to do good and heal people, and we must remember that it's impossible without the Holy Spirit and power that can only be given by God. LOVING YOUR ENEMIES: Luke 23:34 Jesus said, “Father, forgi

TIME AND CHANCE (2024 FA CUP FINAL)

Image
  “I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time”. Ecclesiastes 9:11(NLT) This year's 2024 FA Cup final match at Wembley stadium between Manchester United FC and Manchester City FC will stay with football fans, especially in England, for a long time. The Manchester Reds were never considered for the cup by many people and football pundits due to their slothful performance during the season. Despite the expectations of a massacre from Manchester City FC, Manchester United FC prevailed over the favorites who had already been crowned the 2023/2024 premier league champion. The Scriptures also says “We may throw the dice, but the Lord determines how they fall”. Proverbs 16:

STRANGER IN YOUR OWN LIFE

 “So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.” (Genesis 1:27-28).  Your creation was for you to possess dominance and rule over all things. He wishes for you to issue commands, to bind and to release.  Matthew 18:18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven”. He gave you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you (Luke 10:19). Despite these things, most of us are living as strangers in our own lives because we are not meeting God's expectations and are not the person He intended us to be. God has invested so much into us. Today is a good day

THE PAWN

The pawn is the most common and weakest piece in the game of chess. It may move one square directly forward, it may move two squares directly forward on its first move, and it may capture one square diagonally forward.  A pawn that makes its way up to the top rank is given the opportunity to become a queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color. Achieving this requires the player's exceptional skill and strategy. David's position in the Scripture can be compared to a pawn, but he was able to become the king of Israel thanks to God's grace. God made Gideon a judge and deliverer of Israel (Judges 6-7) even though he was a pawn. It was possible for these people because they believed in God and moved according to His dictates. The scripture says in Isaiah 30:21 ‘Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left’. God is the creator of the heavens, the earth, and all the creatures inhabiting i

STAY IN GOD’S WILL FOR YOUR LIFE

  “Simon Peter said, “ I’m going fishing.”“ We’ll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn’t see who he was.He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?”“No,” they replied.Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you’ll get some!” So they did, and they couldn’t haul in the net because there were so many fish in it.” John 21:3-6 Were they supposed to engage in fishing? When Jesus told them that they would be fishers of men (Matthew 4:19). Jesus asked Peter three times if he truly loves Him and instructed him to care for His sheep. Peter experienced discomfort due to the number of times the question was asked. (John 21:15-17) Many of us have abandoned God's calling for our lives and have chosen a different path. It's possible that we lose hope in it due to certain obstacles or because we think it's not trendy or common, bu

THE BREATH OF LIFE

  The fact that humans are nothing but soil or images without the breath of life, which is only granted by God, means that when the breath is taken away, man's stay in the land of the living comes to an end.   Without God's Spirit, one is nothing but a walking corpse, as His breath is the sole source of life. If you don't have God's Spirit in you, you can't say you know Him or belong to Him. Roman 8:14 states that those who have the Spirit of God in them are considered children of God. Without His life or Spirit in you, it's impossible to perform exploits for God. Peter, who denied Jesus before a little girl (Matthew 26:69-72) was able to preach Jesus to the crowd and win three thousand souls to the kingdom of God (Acts 2:14-41).  If you want to have God's Spirit in you, you need to let Christ enter your heart. Even though He was born because of you (John 3:16), you still need to give up your life to Him. Remember that eternal life is only possible through H

FREE INDEED

 Upon arrival at the site, I noticed a dove tied down by one of my employees. When I requested its release, he stated his intention to sell it. After asking for the price, he informed me, and I asked him to release the bird, which he did, and then I paid for it.  The Scripture says “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” Romans 5:6. By paying the price with his precious blood, Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be set free and welcome into God's family. Ephesians 1:5 “God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.”  Our new status as His slaves necessitates us to do His pleasure and avoid taking things for granted. Romans 6:22 say “But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life”.  We are free from condemnation
