WWF- SUBMISSION contd

Leave a comment

Jesus Christ is literally saying in Revelation 3:20, that He is standing at door of everyone’s heart. That if any hears His voice and opens, He will come in to dine with that fellow. And you can imagine, if the Lord Jesus is supping with you, who is that foe that will disturb? The Lord Himself will handle such. (Psalm 23:5 should come to mind.)

But this will not happen, if you don’t on your own open up to Him sincerely from your heart. That is, you willingly submit unto Him…

Note also that being a willing submission, it has to be daily renewed. Remember in physics, natural vibration does not go on forever. It dwindles to a trickle after a while. So, it has to have a resonant assistance to keep it going. So also it is when walking with Jesus Christ, we will have to daily renew our willing submission to Him.

Luke 9:23

And He(Jesus Christ) said to THEM ALL, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Let me make these points with Bible references, and draw the curtain on this, though I could continue with more. But I pray God’s Spirit elaborate this better in your heart and mind. Amen.

*Without willing submission there cannot be a proper growth. And without proper growth, privileges that come with growth will be wanting.
Galatians 4:1

*It takes willing submission for one to be able to follow God’s master plan, perfect will, for one in Christ Jesus. God’s master plan is only available in Christ Jesus. And the only qualification for it is willing submission. Romans 12:1-2.

*Without willing submission you cannot command authority. Show me a man who is at the command of the supernatural, and I will show you a man who has willingly yielded himself, his all, to all of God in Christ Jesus. 2Corinthians 10:6.

*Without willing, free, spirit in you to submit, you cannot properly preach the gospel, nor effectively win souls for Christ.

Psalm 51:12-13

12 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy FREE SPIRIT (SPIRIT OF WILLINGNESS, according to direct Hebrew interpretation.)

13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

Pray this from your heart:
Father, uphold me with Your spirit of willingness, that I may do and finish all that you have written for me in Christ Jesus, and enjoy every step of the way.

Amen.

WWF- SUBMISSION

Leave a comment

Submission simply means yielding, giving up oneself to somebody, a cause or something. Basically, submission can be categorized into two, viz: forced and willing.

Forced submission is a situation whereby one is made to do something forcefully against one’s will. While Willing submission is when someone sees reason why to be given to something and do just that from the heart.

See, God wants for all people to willingly submit themselves to Him, without being forced. God of the Bible is not like other gods, who are no gods at all, who make people to follow them forcefully. No, He does not do that. It’s not His nature. He loves mutual understanding above other things. He is a fan of willingness, not subjection.
God of the Bible normally approaches everybody with the desire for them to willingly submit to Him. But not cooperating with this will bring one to forced submission before God in the end. At last those that are not submitted to Jesus Christ willingly will experience forced submission, especially during His millennial reign… But this will not lead to their salvation. It will be too late by then. All that rejected Jesus Christ, to willingly make Him their Lord and Saviour, shall finally be cast into the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.

Matthew 21:42&44

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

Isaiah 45:22-23

22 Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

23 I have sworn by Myself, the word is gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Philippians 2:9-11

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father…

WWF- Don’t Just Prophesy, Teach Also.

Leave a comment

Prophecy is to be spoken over God’s people, while God’s word is to be sowed as a seed into their heart. Prophecy is like the rising of the clouds and the falling of rain subsequently… But without proper tilling of the ground of the people’s heart and the breaking up of the fallow ground of their heart, via the word of God (thorough and continual teachings of God’s word), there shall be no particular harvest of that spoken prophecy, nor any positively tangible manifestation to that effect.

As a matter of truth, you can only expect more wild weeds to grow in their hearts rather, just as rain will do to an uncultivated farmable ground. Meaning, deterioration may even set in instead.

Please, do not just prophesy over God’s people, you need to also sit them down and thoroughly teach them God’s word, that the prophecy may abundantly produce results. Teach God’s people how to war a good warfare with God’s word on their own, for every prophecy to have an absolute fruition in them. More time should be dedicated to teaching and explaining God’s word to God’s people, for greater and ever increasing harvests. Prophecy without teachings of God’s word is like a car without engine. It won’t do much, won’t make much difference in the people’s life. Understanding God’s word helps a man to properly war a good warfare with the given prophecies of God to that man.

1Tim. 1:18

This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;

WWF- FEAR & SIN

1 Comment

Not standing in faith is as deadly as living in sin. Fear works just as sin, though from different sides. The both target at the same endpoint, to get one out of God’s will, God’s best, and with the ultimate motive of taking one to hell at last, if possible. Fight against fear as much as you do sin, by standing in the finished work of Jesus Christ always, and decisively yielding yourself DAILY to the simple truth of Jesus Christ. Profess to yourself always that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, and mean every word from your very heart each time.
Romans 14:23

… for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Revelation 21:8

BUT THE FEARFUL, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE: WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.

WWF- God’s Word Always Works contd.

Leave a comment

James 1:4
AMP: But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

You need to walk yourself into an even and open place and stand and stay there, for the Sun of Righteousness to always shine down on you. Yield your total self to God’s Spirit to bring you to this place of truth. John 16:13. And start running God’s word program on the RAM of your brain (your mind) 24/7, irrespective of any other thing you may be doing.

You may think, But that’s not possible. I tell you, It is.

If you determine to do it by the help of the Holy Spirit, the Anointing that teaches us God’s word, it won’t be long when your mind and your brain will adjust to that. Just start by making a simple prayer to God, with a heart full of faith towards Him.

Psalm 4:3-5
KJV: But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.

Also set your mind that you want to make this all for ‘Jesus-ish’ reason, without any trace of selfish reason/hidden agenda, unlike some people that try to use God for their selfishness. When you work at making it all ‘Jesus-ishness’, a memory slot will be created in your brain for the times to come, as to always put you under check. So that you don’t get carried away by reason of great results you witness in your life. Please, make all you do ‘Jesus-ish’ always.

Give it a leap of faith today, and start working constantly in the supernatural, which is God’s mind for everyone in Christ Jesus. John 14:12. And though at the beginning, the devil will come to tell you in the thoughts of your mind and hearing of your ears, “This can’t work, you see.” Just be quick to laugh out at him “Hahahaha”, and reply him, “I know you are a liar. This is surely working and it shall work for me graciously. So, I resist you in Jesus Christ’s Name. Be gone from me.” And he will leave you alone. But he doesn’t give up on one trial. So be ready in the Holy Spirit to talk back to him again with the boldness of our Lord Jesus Christ any other time he shows up. And don’t be tired, nor be afraid, of talking out loud to him resistively and authoritatively.

The creations await your manifestation as offsprings of God. Romans 8:19. There is a move of the display of God’s kingdom power going on in this end time like never before. Be part of it!

Have a blessed month!

WWF- God’s Word Always Works.

Isaiah 65:24
And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear

There is a place where God’s word always works, because the word of the Lord always works. Remember God is His Word Himself. John 1:1-3. A man is as good as His word. To say God’s word doesn’t work sometimes is to doubt the infallibility of The Godhead. If God’s word seems not working in your life, it’s simply because you are not well placed and rightly positioned. Won’t you give it all it takes to get yourself into a place where God’s word always works? Remember God means what He says, and He says what He means.

This placement of a thing is easy to comprehend. You can’t practise medicine until you have been trained for it. The training for it brings you into a place of expertise, for the constant working of medicine in you and through you, so to speak. This goes for all professions. And you continually upgrade yourself with trainings and writing of professional exams to keep you abreast of time, and to be leading always in that field.

The same thing applies here in the spirit realm. The reason why it seems God’s word isn’t working in your life now is that you have not come into that right place, by reason of training…

WWF- The Name Of Jesus Christ!

Leave a comment

John 3:30

He must increase, but I must decrease.

The saying was declared by John the Baptist, when being interrogated concerning Jesus Christ. And how these words must really daily permeate our whole being again and again. How they must control our thinking, if we must always enjoy the evident manifestation of the supernatural of God in our life, just as God has determined for us in Christ Jesus.

This is it, the more you are daily yielded to Jesus Christ, the more the Name of Jesus Christ will be power-commanding in your mouth and life. The Name of Jesus Christ is surely above all names, people, kings, presidents, nations, continents, spirits, devils, sicknesses, situations, weapons of war of all kinds, hoodlums, kidnappers, terrorists, gods/deities, religions, just name it, both in this world and in that which is to come. But this Name can only sufficiently and effectively work in your mouth, in your life and through your life, to the extent that you have been surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ.

2Cor. 4:10-11

10

KJV:Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11

KJV:For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Beloved, you must see to it that you daily die to self, your own will and things of this world, that the power of Christ may readily flow in and through your life, especially when you call the Name of Jesus Christ.

Shalom.

WWF-Seeking God’s Kingdom First.

Leave a comment

Text: Matthew 6:31-34.
Let’s read it out loud to ourselves,

31
ESV:Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32
ESV:For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33
ESV:But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34
ESV:Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Let this be firmly settled in your heart, that God means what He says, and He says what He means. No matter what, He is ever true to His word. Never let this truth elude you, irrespective of your feeling. Believe it and don’t ever doubt it! If you are doubting it already, you must work on your mind for restoration.

Now Jesus Christ said we should not be anxious for anything. He says our heavenly Father knows that we need them all. But why are we not having these things supplied to us constantly? It’s surely because we are not fulfilling the conditions for it.

-First, we worry a lot. I don’t know how many haven’t worried about one thing or the other so far this week. So, you see, we are faulting the order. There is a distortion in the process. Somebody may say, “But if I don’t worry, what will I do then?

-Jesus says further to us to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness. He says when the order is kept this way, automatically all these things will be added to us. That’s exactly what to do! We are to be diving into God’s heart every time. We are to know how God wants us to comport ourselves ‘kingdomly’ in every situation. And that is not come by at once. The reason why the tense used in that 33rd verse is present continuous (from direct-Greek interpretation). I.e, Be ye seeking…

Brethren, the reason why many of us are not at the command of the supernatural is because we have not got it right on our seeking God’s kingdom first. God really desires for us to enjoy everything Jesus Christ paid the price for for us (and Jesus Christ actually paid the price for all things for us to enjoy God maximally), but He also wants us to understand how things work in the kingdom. So that we won’t get things messed up as we continue with our heavenly journey. He wants us to finish strong. He doesn’t want us to become a victim of the blessings He will give us. He wants us to control everything well, hence, the reason for a-must seek His kingdom first. We need to know the kingdom’s modus operandi, and carefully live by it daily.

See, if you reverse the order, by getting on anxiety business, this is what you will have: you will be trapped in the day-to-day evil. Let’s see that verse 34 again.
“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

From this word of Jesus Christ, God’s Spirit said to me, Anxiety traps a man in the day-to-day evil (trouble). If we let God’s order apply, God has put in each day an ability to worry for the things of itself, just to serve us, and men generally. So, when we stick to seeking God’s kingdom daily, then each day will have to take anxiety for the things of itself, just according to Jesus’ word. Then also all things will be added to us, as promised.

2Cor. 1:20
ESV: For all the promises of God find their Yes in Him (Jesus Christ). That is why it is through Him (Jesus Christ) that we utter our Amen to God for his glory

Beloved, please by the help of the Holy Spirit, pay attention to yourself daily, not to worry at all, that you may not be trapped in the evil of that day. Assess yourself daily on this. Train your brain into this truth now, for a faith-smooth ride for the rest of your life here in this present world.

Prayer: My Father, please, help me get it right as regards seeking first the kingdom of God and Your righteousness… Thank You, because I know that You are helping me now and always to walk in the fullness of my Lord Jesus Christ all my life, with all humility of heart. In Jesus Christ’s Name, I have prayed.
Amen.
