JESUS the Unstoppable ONE

“If Shakespeare should come into this room; we would all rise but if Jesus Christ should come in, we would all kneel.” Charles Lamb, English essayist and critic, author of Tales from Shakespeare

Jesus is the unstoppable
He is unstoppable because He loves man
He came to SAVE man and
Show Him his true IDENTITY

His story is like no other
He is the Man of History
He is presently doing Great things
He is the Future—
He will not be stopped
He is Jesus Christ—
The most unique man in history

The Kingdom of Jesus cannot be stopped
The more critics it has, the more powerful it will become
The darker this world becomes—
The Greater the light will be
Jesus is the most unique man in History
He will not be stopped

Jesus is the greatest of all time
He is the most unique man in history
His Name will never fade
He is a Prophet, Priest and King
Jesus is the King of our Government and
His Father is the Ruler of the Heavens and the Earth

There are not enough words to describe Jesus
His life is beyond beauty and His Name is priceless
He is the Son of the Living God and He is our Saviour

The power of Christ knows no boundary of time or space
We are saved by His Grace
No one surpasses Jesus
No other great leader has inspired so many
Positive changes in the lives of his followers
People who encounter the risen Christ are totally transformed— Their outlook on life is altered forever

Historian Philip Schaff described the overwhelming influence which Jesus had on subsequent history and culture of the world. “This Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon; without science…he shed more light on things human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools, he spoke such words of life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet; without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times.”

A Political Statement from Heaven in 2011

Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom [basileia] of God and
His righteousness...” (Mat 6:33)

This is political statement
The TRUTH is cemented in the WORD of GOD—
The Greek word dikaiosyne (righteousness) in the
Original Greek language in the days of Jesus was a political term!
It meant state law—it described the constitution,
i.e the law a country gave itself or the law(s) that God gave

Jesus is the NAME above ALL NAMES
He is the MAN from HEAVEN
HE is the POWER from HEAVEN

In Matthew chapter 16 Jesus asked a political question
Today that question is still asked because HE is the KING
‘My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips” Psalm 89:34

Jesus is the NAME above ALL NAMES
He is the MAN from HEAVEN
HE is the POWER from HEAVEN

We must search out HIS LAWS
We must abide by Kingdom Principles
The Greek word dikaiosyne (righteousness) in the
Original Greek language in the days of Jesus was a political term
It meant state law—it described the constitution,
i.e the law a country gave itself or the law(s) that God gave

An Unshakable Kingdom on Earth

“We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken” Hebrews 12:28

Hab 2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. [cf Isa 11:9]

God has JURISDICTION
Jesus has JURISDICTION
The Holy Spirit has JURISDICTION
AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN
WE DISPLAY HIS JURISDICTION on EARTH

The Kingdom of God is HERE TO STAY
God took the initiative to establish HIS KINGDOM on earth—a
Work of design and creation for which HE assumed full responsibility!
Therefore HE will finish HIS WORK—
He has promised that HIS KINGDOM will always increase
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and
His dominion endures through all generations—

The kingdom of God is the essence of the Eternal Plan of God
It is an unshakable kingdom and the kingdom is for US!
The Kingdom of God is the rule of God demonstrated!
The rule of God is NEVER in a Crisis—
AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN
WE DISPLAY HIS JURISDICTION on EARTH

The Church exists for the Kingdom and is the primary
Agent of the Kingdom’s advance in the earth—
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Mt 28:18-20

God’s Kingdom is the conclusion of history
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

God has JURISDICTION
Jesus has JURISDICTION
The Holy Spirit has JURISDICTION
AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN
WE DISPLAY HIS JURISDICTION on EARTH

The Superiority of Jesus Christ

"and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church," Ephesians 1:19-22

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 8:58

Love is the driving force of Jesus
Jesus is the love of the Father
The Father is the expression of the heart of Jesus
No one surpasses Jesus
Jesus is the Name above all Names
Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth

The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead

He now lives in the hearts of His people
So that they can spread the love of His FATHER

The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead

Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth


"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison… who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him." 1 Peter 3:18-19, 22

The Mirror of deception

You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 9:6

It is a sad fact that so many do not want Jesus around
It is a sad fact that so many are trying to overthrow the Lord Jesus Christ
The amount of anti-biblical movies that have being released has increased tremendously

In the 21st century many are trying to dethrone the Lord Jesus Christ
However, Jesus cannot be stopped and that is why
Everything is thrown against Him but we must never
Forget that Jesus was already tempted in the wilderness
He has overcome the world; He is victorious
Jesus lives on; His kingdom endures forever
Jesus will never be DETHRONED

The battle to dethrone Jesus will continue
Many critics would like him to be married so
That his status could be robbed and Jesus
Can be like all the others; Critics don’t also want
Him to be God because they figure that it is
Impossible for a man like Jesus to be God…
Many critics promote theories that Jesus is
A product of Egyptian mythology--
There number one aim is to try and dethrone JESUS

God is not MOCKED
The criticism allows us all to speak about Jesus and
This gives us an opportunity to share the love of Jesus with them
Jesus was very patient with the Pharisees and the Sadducees
Until the time came for HIM to speak out against them--
As citizens of Heaven we must also speak out against our critics
Movies like Zeitgeist and the Arrivals have only one aim in mind and
That is to try and dethrone the Lord Jesus Christ

Jesus did give us a warning,” Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4
Today many men want to deceive you and they are using any means necessary

The Kingdom of God is PEACE in this world
“Peace I leave you; My peace I give you. I do
not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27)
The Kingdom of God is a FEARLESS KINGDOM

The Kingdom of God has no respect for ‘trouble’
The Kingdom of God CONQUERS trouble
“Everything is possible for him who believes.” (Mark 9:23b)
Kingdom Faith OVERCOMES the world


It is a sad fact that so many do not want Jesus around
It is a sad fact that so many are trying to overthrow the Lord Jesus Christ
The amount of anti-biblical movies that have being released has increased tremendously

The Kingdom of God is VITAL for the 21st century
Jesus is the King of the Kingdom and
The Purpose of the KING STANDS FOREVER

Wolves and human methods

The Fruit of the Wolf

Acts 20:29-30

They made a decision to build their flock by using human methods
They were no longer Spirit led
Some of the sheep were able to see it, but most didn’t
In the 21st century sheep do not want to hear sound doctrine
There are a lot of deceivers in the world who are trying to get you to
Buy their product whether it is a politician;
A particular brand of washing powders or a religion etc

Wolves are savages— heavy or burdensome
They weigh people down with their demands rather
Than lifting people up by helping to carry their burdens
Wolves rise up— this means they put themselves above others
Acting as though they are in some way superior to those around them
Wolves want people to be dependent on them—not the Lord
They therefore work toward that aim

The church building is a battlefield for wolves
Their competition is severe—
When their pact grows too big
They start to kill each other [gossip]—
Wolves are only concerned about their popularity
Sadly, they also destroy many innocent lives
Wolves enjoy controlling women
A wolf wants his pact to be the greatest

The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion

God gives us the strength and
The clarity to identify the wolves in the church—
The wolves in the church building should not intimate us
When we enter the territory of a wolf
We must enter with the power of Jesus Christ—
Wolves also use the name of Jesus
Therefore, it is vital that we enter the battlefield of the wolves
With the power of the Holy Spirit

The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion

Let us continue to go against the grind… lives are at stake

Sometimes we feel that God is unfair

If there is no true love for God—then
Ceremonies have no meaning

Jesus knew moments of darkness in his life
We will have moment of darkness in our life
Darkness means ‘growth’—
In Garden of Gethsemane Jesus realised
The awful type of death that he would suffer—
He knew that the physical pain would be terrible
He would carry our ‘sins while he was on that cross’
In the Garden, he prayed to his Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’ (Luke 22:41-46.)

He said, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’ (Mark 15:34.) How awful to feel that God is no longer near you—
How terrible not to know why he is leaving you alone—

Believers today, at some time will have periods of spiritual darkness
They will display clouds of doubt—
Sometime they will experience an eclipse
The Bible states, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

Many saints never doubt that God is real
However many saints at times doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY
Many at times feel that God is unfair—
They feel that God has not worked in
The way that they hoped or planned

Jeremiah in the Bible was concentrating on the people’s ‘return’ to God
However, God said to him, ‘If you return, then you can serve me’ (15:4)—
Jeremiah was full of pain and despair—
Our Heavenly FATHER reminded Jeremiah about his job
Jeremiah must help people to change—
He must not change and become like the people (15:19b)
Jeremiah’s job was going to be very hard
But God encouraged him—
Jeremiah had doubts— He was suffering very much
Sometimes we forget what God has said to us—
We then need to read it again—and believe
Our lives may be hard
But we must trust in his promises—
They do not change (Read 1 Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)

AT times you may not be sure that prayer is worthwhile—
But you must still pray and lay it before him—[even in anger]
Even at his worst times, Jeremiah continued to pray—
Sometimes it seemed that he only complained to God
But he continued to pray—nothing stopped him
(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15; 17:14 and 20:7-12)
Jeremiah prayed clearly and in an honest way

You will get 10 different answers about the kingdom message

“And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God,
And to heal the sick” Luke 9:2

What is God asking you to preach?
Do you want to preach prosperity?
Do you want to preach healing?
Do you want to preach ‘tongues?
Do you want to preach faith?
What do you want to preach?

If you ask 10 people what does it mean to preach the Kingdom
You will get 10 different answers; everyone wants to be right
This is why we have so much deception because many
Don’t really study Scripture; they read Scripture but don’t really study it
Yet many forget that at school (high school) they had to study…
God gave us the ‘foundation’ to adjust ourselves to study ‘information’
Many citizens of countries have never studied their constitution
This has also been a major problem with the citizens of Heaven
I meet many saints who are lazy and read the Bible casually
They jump at audio messages and Gospel DVD’s because
It is much easy than reading the word for themselves
No wonder deception is so easy to achieve
Too many live their Christian life on emotions and
Get their theology through an emotional experience

Let us study the message of the Kingdom
Because Jesus sent them to preach the Kingdom of God’

Smothering in the Church

Today leaders have a tendency to smother its members in the church
Many were hurt in the past—
The question has been asked for years,
“Who is your covering?”
The Bible reveals that accountability is always consigned to God
(e.g. Matt.12:36; Rom. 3:19; Heb.4:13 etc.)

Today leaders have a tendency to smother its members in the church
Instead of feeding the flock they end up spying on the flock—
They end up suffocating the flock and
When the members do not live up to their expectations
They tend not to want to associate with the person—
i.e. when you do not want to do what they tell you
Then all of a sudden, you are regarded as unholy—
What a sad fact that church leaders want to control their congregation

The covering principle in the church has become
A ‘smothering principle’ and it has led many to leave the church—
Jesus did not smother his disciples—He knew men and
He understood their limitations—
No man of God should be our covering
Because men want to control men—
Today leaders have a tendency to smother its members in the church

An opportunity in the Kingdom of God

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14)

Jesus did not bring a religion
Jesus brought a KINGDOM

Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

Jesus did not bring a religion
Jesus brought a KINGDOM—
"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed." Daniel 7:13-14

Religion means to search—you are not satisfied
When you find the Kingdom of God you are fulfilled
Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

The Invincible Bible reigns FOREVER
The WORD in the Bible is ALIVE
The Bible speaks to the yearnings of the human heart
It puts God in the center of the universe and
Gives man a purpose for living and a meaning to life—
The Bible without contest stands out for its spiritual excellence

The Bible is the Biggest-Selling Book in all History
The Bible is a literary Masterpiece
The Bible is a book of Stunning Revelation
The Bible is a book of Divine Comfort
The Bible is our Constitution
The Bible cannot be Matched--

The Bible is an HONEST reflection of life and
This is what makes this BOOK so UNIQUE
God did not hide anything but clearly
Showed us why we need His Son

Our Constitution speaks of One Man
This Man saves people today--
His Word is beyond destruction
His Purpose can never be destroyed and
His Plan will stand through the Ages
His Name is Jesus and He will not be stopped
His Father sent Him to this planet
Jesus fulfilled His Father's Heart

It was written by people of every facet of life e.g. Kings, poor people, fishermen, poets, government officials, teachers, prophets
It was written in three languages and translated in to so many more
The Bible was written on three continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe”

The Cross, the fool, the Result

Christ is the centrality of God
The mystery of time
His purpose is Divine
No wonder the Cross will always shine
History cannot refute Him
Agnostic historians cannot destroy Him
We as born-again Christians are the ones
Who adore Him so whether
You are for Him or against Him
You will come to know that
Jesus is more than a prophet

Most people like Confucius are still confused,
The One true God was beating and bruised who is
Known as King of the Jews;
He was betrayed for silver and jewels
Yet, a fool tries to break the rules

The Cross is the pivot of the dealing of God with the universe
Therefore, no man should decide to be a fool
By ignoring the gift given by God
The Cross is the place of unity
Revealing purity for eternity

A fool sees his progression as a result of his own name and
A fool believes he is justified by his fame
He is satisfied but he forgets that all walls are broken down and
Then he discovers that he has no crown

Every attempt to weaken Jesus made Him stronger

Everything they did to Jesus backfired
The Father allowed everything they did to Him
Every attempt to weaken Jesus made Him stronger
Every problem was an opportunity to show the heart of the Father
Here lies an important principle for the Christian in the 21st century
No matter what is thrown against us—it will strengthen us
Our problem will be an opportunity for the Father to reveal Jesus

They wanted Jesus crucified and damned by God as
According to the Law of Moses but by killing
Him they had know idea that the process would reverse itself
Here lies an important principle for the Christian in the 21st century
No matter what is thrown at us, God will turn it around
Our problem will be an opportunity for the Father to reveal Jesus

Christ is the centrality of God; the mystery of time
His purpose is Divine; no wonder the Cross will always shine
Every attempt to weaken him made him stronger
Here lies an important principle for the Christian in the 21st century
Every attempt to weaken us will strength us

They forget that the Cross paid for the Crown

Many people go to a cemetery every Sunday
Ironically the cemetery is the church building—
Some church buildings have become morgues because
We find a lot of dead people there—
They look at crosses all the time but
They forget that the Cross paid for the Crown

Many saints are morbid on Sundays
Because all they think about is death—
The death of Jesus was to get us back (restore)
So that we could once again operate like the First Adam—
The First Adam was given a Kingdom (He was given authority)
Adam’s goal was to make earth just like Heaven so that
Earth would function on the governmental principles of Heaven—
Jesus did the same—He brought the Kingdom of Heaven to earth and
Showed us how to operate with Heavenly principles on earth
The message of Jesus was strictly about the Kingdom—
Jesus did not speak about Calvary to the Masses
You must be born-again was only mentioned once and
It was mentioned to an old man…
Many of the things that churches preach today was
Not the message of Jesus—churches preach prosperity,
healing, faith, name and claim it etc—these are all by-products
The message of the Kingdom occupied His focus

The Cross gives us the Crown
Calvary gave us access back to the Father
We honour the Cross but we thank God for the Crown
Because through the Crown we can see our true selves because
Our mandate is found in Genesis 1:26-27—it hasn’t changed

Many people go to a cemetery every Sunday
Ironically the cemetery is the church
They look at crosses all the time but
They forget that the Cross paid for the Crown

Jesus rose from the tomb
He lives forever more…

The Kingdom driven church is hard to find

Jesus was driven by God (John 5:19) and not by need
The Kingdom of God had everything that Jesus needed—
Likewise this applies to us as well—
Everything we need is found in the kingdom

Jesus never taught his disciples that the world
Needs to be transformed before HE comes back—the
Improvement of the world is not the central task of the Kingdom
Jesus did not solve all the problems of Palestine when HE walked the earth—
He did not heal everybody in the Middle East
He did not build any schools or hospitals etc while he was here
He stuck to HIS Kingdom PURPOSE—
We must expand the rule of God over as many people as possible
God will allow us to influence areas of life so that
People can be drawn into the Kingdom because
Our lifestyles which will reflect the heart of JESUS—
The Holy Spirit will be our POWER

There are many different churches
There are many different churches with different messages
However there is only ONE real message—it is
The message of the Kingdom of God—
Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ
Jesus spoke more about the Kingdom than the church
[He mentioned the church(ecclesia) two/three times]

There are many who are in the church building
However many of them are not citizens of Heaven—
They only belong to a church
They dress a certain way and they
Allow their dress code to give them a spiritual status—
The error is so plain to see yet
Many remain a victim to the bondage of religion

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

The Kingdom driven church is hard to find
However the message of the Kingdom of God is PREACHED
The Kingdom of God is not taught in Universities—
The Kingdom of God is not taught in many churches

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

Many churches have made born again the Gospel message
The gospel of being born again is the
First part of the Gospel of the kingdom
It is not the peak of a man’s life
Many saints are just inside the door—
Jesus said that He is the door

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

Man did not fall from Heaven
But he was on earth when he ‘fell’
We tend to write off this life and
Look forward to passing over into Heaven
Because we want Jesus to save us from this mess on earth
A religion that can’t be tested can’t be trusted

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

The Good News is that God’s Government can Rule in
Man’s heart again and he can get back to his original position
Man did not fall from Heaven
But he was on earth when he ‘fell’
Jesus came to restore his ‘position’—
We tend to write off this life and
Look forward to passing over into Heaven
Because we want Jesus to save us from this mess on earth
“A Faith that can’t be tested can’t be trusted”

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—

Simple Mistakes, Confused Defences and Trinity Perfection

The Trinity is ALIVE and well
The Beauty of the Trinity is EVERLASTING
The Trinity keeps people talking—
Some argue that the Old Testament (not to mention the New)
Does not teach the doctrine of the Trinity—
The doctrine of the Trinity is found throughout the Old Testament
It is not merely found in a distinct passage or proof-text here and there

The word Elohim is used many of times for “God”
The word Adonai is used many of times for “Lord”
Both of these words are plural nouns in Hebrew and show the TRINITY
Certain passages speak of the “faces” or “presences” or
“Persons” of God (Exodus 33:14; Deuteronomy 4:37; and Job 13:8)—
God also refers to Himself as “Us,” “Our,” and “We”
(Genesis 1:26, 2:18 (LXX), 3:22, 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, and 41:21-24)
The Old Testament further states of God, “they caused me to wander” (Genesis 20:13), “they appeared” (Genesis 35:7), “they drew nigh” (Deuteronomy 4:7), “they went” (2 Samuel 7:23), and “they judge” (Psalm 58:11)—the Old Testament also calls God our “Creators” (Ecclesiastes 12:1), “Makers” and “Husbands” (Job 35:10; Psalm 149:2; Isaiah 54:5)
The Old Testament also says that God is “holy” (Joshua 24:19; Proverbs 9:10, 30:33), another plural

The Old Testament further specifies the principle of
Divine plurality by identifying the three persons of the Godhead—
God the Father (e.g. Deuteronomy 32:6; Isaiah 63:16, 64:8, Malachi 2:10);
The Word, or Son of God (e.g. Genesis 16:7-14, 22:9-18; Exodus 3, 23:20-22; Numbers 22:21-41; Judges 2:1-5, 6:7-24; Psalm 2, 110:1, Isaiah 7:14, 9:6; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Proverbs 30:4); and
The Holy Spirit or Spirit of God (e.g. Nehemiah 9:20; Job 26:13, 33:4; Psalm 104:30, 106:32-33, 139:1-24, 143:10; 2 Samuel 23:1-3; Isaiah 11:2, 40:13; Ezekiel 11:5; Micah 2:7)

The Trinity is ALIVE and well
The Beauty of the Trinity is EVERLASTING—
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all (2 Corinthians 13:14)

The Christian Church has Disagreed over Five Words

[N.B In some Bibles it might be six or seven etc because of the translation]

Five words have been misunderstood
Five words need clarification
Five words in the 21st century is coming back to the citizen of HEAVEN
‘Pray, then, in this way...’ Matt.6:9

The Lord gave us a PATTERN
Let us draw all the principles from the PATTERN and
Let us apply it to our prayer Life—
It carries the HEART of the FATHER

Jesus did not pray the Lord’s Prayer because
The petition for forgiveness would not have been proper—
We know that Jesus was sinless!

Let us get back to the principles of the Prayer that Jesus taught us
We have a GLORIOUS GOVERNMENT in HEAVEN and
We can call upon it at any TIME!

Five words have been misunderstood

A Colonial Church

An imperial church is a church that is functioning
Within the framework of the Empire of God—
The ekklesia is HOLY and “is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven”
(Hebr8:4.5; 9:24; 1 Chron. 28:19, Ex. 25:40 Etc)
She existed before the foundations of the EARTH
The Ekklesia is the LORD’s SENATE
The Ekklesia must fulfil the KING’S MIND—so if
The Lord does not build the house, its builders labour in vain” (Ps 127:1)

The Ekklesia makes the invisible EMPIRE visible
Our Heavenly father has made HIS WORD Visible—
Jesus came as an invisible king,
Representing an invisible power to assume
The government of a yet invisible empire—
We have the privilege of making HIS Kingdom VISIBLE—
Love is the FIRST visible trait that can be made public

An Imperial church functions
Within the Framework of the Empire of God—
She must colonizes whatever it touches
Her Majestic presence infects all GENERATIONS—
The Ekklesia is the LORD’s SENATE
The Ekklesia must fulfil the KING’S MIND—so if
The Lord does not build the house, its builders labour in vain” (Ps 127:1)
Jesus came as an invisible king,
Representing an invisible power to assume
The government of a yet invisible empire

A Kingdom Prayer

Our Father: may Your Name be hallowed, may Your Kingdom come, may Your Will be done - as in heaven, so in earth. Accomplish Your Purpose, and establish the Kingdom of Your dear Son in us: individually as disciples, corporately as the Church, and collectively in all creation; that Christ may be All in All.

As we seek first Your Kingdom, may all that we need be added to us, whether it is daily bread or forgiveness of sins. Conform us to the image of Your Son that we may live as One Body. Deliver us from evil by raising up overcomes who will have the Revelation of Christ and will bear the Testimony of Jesus, demonstrating the pre-eminence of Your Son over sin, self, and our enemy; who overcome by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their Testimony, and the laying down of their lives.

The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory are yours. Of the increase of your Kingdom there will be no end; You have given all power in heaven and in earth to Your Son; and through His Name every knee will bow and every tongue will confess to Your Glory. Reveal the glory of Your Son that we may know Him, and as He must increase, so we must decrease...

Jesus is the Architect of Victory

Jesus is the Victory—
The Battle continues and
HE receives ALL the GLORY
“Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

We have a COMMANDER who has
Given us COMMANDMENTS—
We listen to HIS INSTRUCTIONS
When HE says MOVE—we move
When HE says STOP—we stop

As ambassadors we need to be certain that
We know our Commander and have
A personal relationship with Him—
Secondly, we need to understand how to
Know when we are truly receiving His directions for us—
Lastly, we need to have the strength, determination and
The courage to carry out these instructions in
A manner worthy of service to Him—even if
We are going to lose friends
This is how we will please Him—
We have a COMMANDER and we need to HEAR HIM

Jesus is the supreme commander
He determines human destiny—
The Kingdom of God continues its COLINIZATIONS

God's patience is not infinite
When a situation provokes the LORD—
Then he will respond so many
Forget that we have a COMMANDER that
WE can go to because HE CARES—
And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.” Joshua 6:1-5

Sometimes we feel that God is unfair

If there is no true love for God—then
Ceremonies have no meaning

Jesus knew moments of darkness in his life
We will have moment of darkness in our life
Darkness means ‘growth’—
In Garden of Gethsemane Jesus realised
The awful type of death that he would suffer—
He knew that the physical pain would be terrible
He would carry our ‘sins while he was on that cross’
In the Garden, he prayed to his Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’ (Luke 22:41-46.)

He said, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’ (Mark 15:34.) How awful to feel that God is no longer near you—
How terrible not to know why he is leaving you alone—

Believers today, at some time will have periods of spiritual darkness
They will display clouds of doubt—
Sometime they will experience an eclipse
The Bible states, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

Many saints never doubt that God is real
However many saints at times doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY
Many at times feel that God is unfair—
They feel that God has not worked in
The way that they hoped or planned

Jeremiah in the Bible was concentrating on the people’s ‘return’ to God
However, God said to him, ‘If you return, then you can serve me’ (15:4)—
Jeremiah was full of pain and despair—
Our Heavenly FATHER reminded Jeremiah about his job
Jeremiah must help people to change—
He must not change and become like the people (15:19b)
Jeremiah’s job was going to be very hard
But God encouraged him—
Jeremiah had doubts— He was suffering very much
Sometimes we forget what God has said to us—
We then need to read it again—and believe
Our lives may be hard
But we must trust in his promises—
They do not change (Read 1 Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)

AT times you may not be sure that prayer is worthwhile—
But you must still pray and lay it before him—[even in anger]
Even at his worst times, Jeremiah continued to pray—
Sometimes it seemed that he only complained to God
But he continued to pray—nothing stopped him
(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15; 17:14 and 20:7-12)
Jeremiah prayed clearly and in an honest way

Everybody quotes this verse—it is an easy way out

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Matthew 7:1

This verse is one of the most abused verses in the 21st century
This is one of the most quoted verses
Skeptics quote this verse—
Rebellious teenagers quote this verse
Certain religious people quote this when their thoughts are challenged—
When people want to defend their cause they quote this verse
However, when this verse is quoted it is usually ripped out of context—
The tragedy is that many use this verse as a ‘scare tactic’
This verse is one of the most abused verses in the 21st century

The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is a
Public criticism of the Jewish scribes and
Pharisees for their self-righteousness and abuse of the Old Testament—
Their lifestyle were judged righteously and Jesus came to
Show them this with a heart of LOVE but
He knew that some would rebel

Many people only want to focus on the positive things
That Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’

Jesus said, “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:20—
Here the righteousness of the Pharisees were judged—
They were wearing righteousness with their clothes
However they never had it in their hearts!

Many people only want to focus on the positive things
That Jesus did and as a result they ignore the fact that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’

When we judge a teaching, we must judge righteously
We must do it without hypocrisy—John 7:24
Jesus had already judged the Pharisees righteousness
When He taught the Sermon on the Mount—
Soon after the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus
Commanded that His followers make a judgement—
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine,
Lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces” Matthew 7:6—Here we must judge who are dogs and who are hogs(pigs)

Again in Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus implied that
The disciples must make a judgement!
In reality there is a simple question that we must ask ourselves,
How can we watch out for false prophets if we can’t make judgements?
[1 Corinthians 5:4-5,11,13b;2 John 9-11 etc.]

Matthew 7:1 is used a lot in the 21st century
Many misuse it but forget that
A large part of Jesus’ ministry was about CORRECTION
The Jews were obsessed with the concept of ‘election’
However the reality is that they needed ‘CORRECTION’

Kingdom Multiplication

The Samaritan woman who had just met Jesus had sown
Seeds of Truth that blossomed quickly into Kingdom Multiplication—
Jesus knows who to touch in order to bring growth—
We must plant the seed even if we think that ‘they’ cannot be touched!
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations” (Ps. 22:27-28)

The Kingdom of God is a practical necessity
Religion is not a necessity
However, many choose religion—
Everybody is looking for the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God fulfils man!
The Samaritan woman was also looking for the Kingdom of God and
In the process of looking she found it and
Became a tool for multiplication—
God will surprise many of us by using people we least expect
"Through you we push down our foes; through your Name we tread down those who rise up against us. For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me." Psalm 44:5-6

The Kingdom of God is PEACE in this world
“Peace I leave you; My peace I give you. I do
not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27)

The Kingdom of God is a FEARLESS KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God is the Safest Place
The Kingdom of God is the most Secure LOCATION
The Kingdom of God is the Most Stable Entity (KINGDOM)
The Kingdom of God is PRATICAL Necessity

The Kingdom of God fulfils man!
The Samaritan woman who had just met Jesus had sown
Seeds of Truth that blossomed quickly into Kingdom Multiplication—

John 4:1-26

KINGDOM EXPLOSION

Your throne O God will last for ever and ever




KINGDOM EXPLOSION
THE GOVERNMENT OF JESUS CHRIST

Ambassador
13/7/10

“How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation.”
Daniel 4:3




Our Declaration
I stand to acclaim, The King of all Glory—Christ Jesus His Name
I ask you, King Jesus, Fulfil your kingdom desire,
Ignite me and make me a chariot of Fire
Come ride on my life and I will be a chariot of Fire.



“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus” (Acts 4:29).


“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendour and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11)





The Emperor of the Kingdom

Jesus holds the ultimate governmental function and therefore commands not only our personal, but also our corporate loyalty. Jesus rules an Empire of both a loving, but also of a holy and fearsome God. For the apostle Paul, it is clear that the Kingdom, not just the church, is what he is called to proclaim. Paul described his ministry partners specifically not as co-workers for the church, but as “my fellow workers for the Kingdom of God” (Col 4:11).

Paul preaches the Kingdom, the rule of Jesus, and those that repent to this apostolic message are added by the father to the Kingdom, and these are exactly those with whom Jesus builds his church! “The father has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son” (Col 1:13). It is God the father who gives those that are saved “the passport of the Empire”; he issues the naturalization, the official right to be legal citizens in the Empire of his son, Jesus.

Prayer 1

Pray that the EMPEROR will DECREE and expand HIS KINGDOM in the COMMUNITY.







The Storm of the Kingdom

The Kingdom of God moves without fear. As empires greatly rise above kingdoms - they are essentially an ever-expanding Kingdom of kingdoms - emperors are a different breed than kings. The expansion of the Empire of God is a dynamic process: “Of the increase of his government
will be no end” (Isa 9:7). In other words: just like a snowball can grow into an avalanche, the expansion of the empire of God will begin small and seemingly insignificant, but will be impossible to stop.The Kingdom starts with the arrival of the king. Jesus says, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Mt 6:33). Rather than making faith a purely private issue, Jesus makes it a deeply political one—the Greek word dikaiosyne most Bibles translate with “righteousness” was in the original Greek language of the days of Jesus a political term meaning “state law”; described the constitution, the law that either God gave to humans, 0r later, a country gave itself. Jesus makes it abundantly clear of Moses was not only the bedrock of the Old Testament theocracy, rule of God, but is also foundational and valid in his Kingdom: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but fulfill them (Mt 5:17).

Paul writes it like this: “The Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,
but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom 14:17). The
Greek word for righteousness is, again, dikaosyne. It is possible to translate it therefore like this: “The Kingdom of God happens where people align themselves into the state law of God, his constitution, in peace and joy”.

Prayer 2
Pray that God’s Name may be made HOLY in the COMMUNITY.


The Political Function of the Kingdom

The Empire is First—the Church is second. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom 69 times, and only twice/thrice of the church, putting the relationship between Empire and Church clearly into perspective. Without humans expressing their loyalty to their King Jesus, the Empire of God has no human members. Only after duly establishing the fact that Jesus was bringing in the Empire did he speak of his intentions “to build my ekklesia”. Rather than a religious meaning, which church history later attached to it, the Greek word ekklesia meant “legal assembly” (Acts 19:39), describing a body of people with governmental authority, equivalent to a parliament or senate.

It describes the political function of the citizens of the Empire of God, and it is its main recruitment and advancement agency. Ekklesia is the spearhead of the rule of God in the sense that the domain of his rule is now entering specifically the domain of darkness (Col 1:13), liberating humans from darkness (Mt 16:18) and transferring them into the Kingdom of Jesus.


Prayer 3

Pray that the Politics of Jesus will receive Great Prestige in the Community.







The Monarchy of the Kingdom
A king is a supreme ruler. An absolute monarchy, the undivided rule of a single person, is not a form of government familiar to most of us. Most people are more aware of the personal profiles of princes and princesses, along with exposés of their errors and excesses, than they are of the monarchy itself.
Fewer still are aware that the concept of a monarchy is to be found in the New Testament and that it has a direct connection to the future of mankind. In Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus Christ gave a model for people who wish to learn how to pray effectively. Twice in this prayer outline Jesus refers to the Kingdom of God. First is a plea for that kingdom to "come"; then follows an acknowledgment that God indeed has a kingdom. When we acknowledge that God has a kingdom, we also acknowledge that He is royalty. Jesus would not deny being Messiah King (John 18:33-37). When Pilate questioned Him about His kingship, Christ replied, "For this cause I was born" (verse 37).
Out of ten healed lepers only one came back and thanked Jesus—too many Christians Jesus is the King in theory, but not in practice. Many Christians have been taught the theory that Jesus is their King but not now, not here, not really, and not in any way that counts today! Many Christians may worship the throne, but not the King himself. This makes Jesus a King only in theory but a King in exile—Good people are often admired but seldom rule and this is how many treat Jesus

Prayer 4

Pray that the Kingship of Jesus may be REALIZED in the community and that religion may be washed out of the community.



Kingdom Night and Day

Night and Day the Kingdom of God continues to influence the earth. God will not stop because HE does not want anyone to perish.

And he said, “Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth bears fruit of itself, first the blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.” Mark 4:26-29

We do not understand the mysterious work of the kingdom in the hearts of men and women. “...For as heaven is higher than the earth, My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other and the Lord
listened to what they said. In His presence a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared Him and loved to think of Him. Malachi 3:16

Prayer 5

Pray that the community may know God—the ONLY TRUE GOD

An opportunity in the Kingdom of God

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14)

Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

Jesus did not bring a religion
Jesus brought a KINGDOM—
"I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away; and His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed." Daniel 7:13-14

Religion means to search—you are not satisfied
When you find the Kingdom of God you are fulfilled
Religion gives you ‘things’ to do—
The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!
Religion makes you work for salvation
In the Kingdom SALVATION [what Jesus did] works for you

God defends the cause of His Kingdom

God defends the cause of His Kingdom
He defends the cause of His Son
His Son died for the sins of the world

We reject the plan of Cyprus
We reject his god and we reject his plan
The battle has only begun—
This Cyprus is a liar
Deceit can only last for a season and
Then it will be exposed
We will stand against Cyprus and his army

They do intend to try and destroy us but they
Have no idea that our God has seen this many times and
Therefore, we stand in the Name of Jesus Christ

God is our defender
Jesus is our protector and
The Holy Spirit is our helper
This is a war…
This fool does not care about the saints
He hates our faces but he has no idea about the Grace of God

The cross is our victory
The Blood is our remedy
The kingdom of God is our Purpose

The battle has only begun
This Cyprus is a liar
He cannot outsmart the Word of God
He has no idea that Our God
“Sets the end before the beginning”

We reject the plan of Cyprus
We reject his god and we reject his plan
The battle has only begun—
This Cyprus is a liar
Deceit can only last for a season and
Then it will be exposed
We will stand against Cyprus and his army

The ONE on the CROSS—not the cross that many people carry

We must worship the ONE who died on the cross
We must not worship the cross
The ONE who has died is also
The ONE who came back from the grave
His Name is JESUS and HE is ALIVE forevermore

Many people in the 21st century emphasize
The cross rather than the One who died upon it--
It is the Blood that was shed that washes our sins away
Many people worship the cross and not the MAN upon the cross
So many people wear the cross--carry the cross with them etc
However, the man JESUS who was on the Cross is not in their heart

A cross is not essential to our salvation
But the BLOOD that was shed on the cross of Calvary is essential—
Many other people’s blood were shed on crosses but it is
The shedding of Christ’s blood in His death that saves us

The Blood of Jesus destroys the enemies’ kingdom
The Blood opened up the door for victory
The Blood of the Lamb provided access to the Kingdom of God
The Blood of Jesus brings us back to our original purpose

Many people in the 21st century emphasize
The cross rather than the One who died upon it--
It is the Blood that was shed that washes our sins away

However, the man JESUS who was on the Cross is not in their heart

A cross is not essential to our salvation

The Blood of the Lamb provided access to the Kingdom of God
The Blood of Jesus brings us back to our original purpose

Dealing with false teachers in the 21st century

'Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.' Matthew 7:15-16

We must warn the church publicly what the false teachers are doing—2 Timothy 2:16-18
We must not be afraid
We must name names—2 Timothy 1:15, 2:17, 3:8, 4:14
We must not be afraid
We must silence the false teachers—Titus 1:10-11
We must not be afraid
We must refute the false teachers—Titus 1:9
We must not give false teachers a platform or support them—2 John 1:10-11

'For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.' Acts 20:29-31

Paul sent Timothy to get rid of the wolves
Wolves are beautiful creatures but once humans
Start to take on the characteristics of a wolf
They become dangerous and ruthless—

Wolves in the church appear as godly men
Wolves in the church are inwardly ravenous
Wolves are self-serving—
Interested primarily in what they can get for themselves
Wolves weigh people down
Wolves act as if they are superior to others
Wolves neglect doctrine in the church
Wolves draw disciples after themselves

We must warn the church publicly what the false teachers are doing—2 Timothy 2:16-18
We must not be afraid
We must name names—2 Timothy 1:15, 2:17, 3:8, 4:14
We must not be afraid
We must silence the false teachers—Titus 1:10-11
We must not be afraid
We must refute the false teachers—Titus 1:9
We must not give false teachers a platform or support them—2 John 1:10-11

Timothy had to confront these wolves
Today many want to join the wolves and are scared of
Confronting them because of fear that they
Will be ostracised and referred to as the enemy
However, we must confront these wolves because
A church can stand anything from the outside but
When it is attacked from the inside, then
It is a different matter and calls for an immediate response


For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple. Romans 16:18

We must warn the church publicly what the false teachers are doing—2 Timothy 2:16-18
We must not be afraid
We must name names—2 Timothy 1:15, 2:17, 3:8, 4:14
We must not be afraid
We must silence the false teachers—Titus 1:10-11
We must not be afraid
We must refute the false teachers—Titus 1:9
We must not give false teachers a platform or support them—2 John 1:10-11

A church can stand anything from the outside but
When it is attacked from the inside, then
It is a different matter and calls for an immediate response—
We must not be afraid

“Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says”

Running to the newspaper, we discover the news for the day
Running to the Bible, we discover the news for our souls
We must run to the Bible and discover the love of God
In the Bible we find the Son, Jesus Christ who
Died for the sins of the world—
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say,
But question what the Bible says—
Today people prefer the newspaper and question the Bible
God has sent us a Word about the past and about the future
How sad that many trust the newspaper more than the Bible—
They will pay a heavy price because God made the Word so clear yet many ignore it

A Government Agent

The ecclesia (Church) was not a religious word
It was a political word; Caesar had his ecclesia
Caesar had his agents in Palestine and Pilot was one of them
Jesus conveyed the same thought as the Romans because in doing this
They would understand the Purpose of His Ecclesia and
Today it has not changed because we are His Agents

I come from another Kingdom
I am an Agent for my Leader
I am living here to show His Mind and Purpose
My Leader has stated that while I’m here
I can ask for anything in His Name and He will
Give it to me according to His Purpose and Good Pleasure

My Leader walked on this planet and He did Great things
He died on a Cross where he revealed the love of His Father and
After three days He stood up from His grave,
Before His death He appointed agents to reveal His Mind and Purpose
He sent them into this world to bring to others the Glory of the Kingdom

The ecclesia (Church) was not a religious word

Our Leader has stated that while we are here
We can ask for anything in His Name and He will
Give it to us according to His Purpose and Good Pleasure

The Bible is not an "ecumenical" book

There should be no compromise with any other religion
This should be a simple fact but for too many Christians it is not,
Christians of this generation are scared and fearful of their lives and
So they take the easy way out which is to compromise
Many Christians support ecumenism; this is a mistake
What is worse; they use love as the basis for their decision

Our enemy would like to combine all religions
So that the title of Jesus can be narrowed down to just a good prophet
But as Christians who believe in the Bible
We know that Jesus is more than a prophet
God will not modify the Gospel
His Grace is sufficient for man to be saved
But man today would like to be saved by some other way
This is man’s biggest mistake
The Lord is love but love can only go that far
There should be no compromise with any other religion
This should be a simple fact but for too many Christians it is not
Christians of this generation are scared and fearful of their lives
But we also know that the men of the Bible were also scared but
Our Heavenly Father gave them strength to face their generation
There should be no compromise with any other religion

(Christians in the West and the South)

We must not ignore the HOLY SPIRIT

“After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly”
(Acts 4:31).

We must not ignore the HOLY SPIRIT
He is the most important person in our lives
HE represents the mind of CHRIST

The church today has so much real estate
Classy technology, public relations ability and
Human talent that many prefer to get along without the HOLY SPIRIT

Jesus operated HIS LIFE with the Holy Spirit
Jesus needed the ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT--
Today men and women of God also need
The ministry of the HOLY SPIRIT but
We see that many ignore the HOLY SPIRIT

Today ‘big’ churches are built by men with
Strong entrepreneurial skills and weak exegetical skills--
A lot of them live on emotion
They leave God out of the equation--

We must not ignore the HOLY SPIRIT
We need HIM more than ever
The HOLY SPIRIT brings the MIND of CHRIST

The church today has so much real estate
Classy technology, public relations ability and
Human talent that many prefer to get along without the HOLY SPIRIT

The Biggest-Selling Book in all of History

God Sent a “WORD’’ to MANKIND
The WORD of God is Jesus Christ and
His Constitution is written in the Bible

The BIBLE is UNIQUE
The BIBLE is MATCHLESS--
“It was written over a period of 1600 years by more than 40 authors
It was written by people of every facet of life e.g.
Kings, poor people, fishermen, poets, government officials, teachers, prophets
It was written in three languages and translated in to so many more
The Bible was written on three continents - Asia, Africa, and Europe”

The Bible is an HONEST reflection of life and
This is what makes this BOOK so UNIQUE
God did not hide anything but clearly
Showed us why we need His Son

The Bible is the Biggest-Selling Book in all History
It is the Biggest selling Book because God is still
Telling us how much we need Jesus Christ in our lives

The Bible will remain the Biggest-Selling Book
Because the Government of God will always INCREASE

God Sent a “WORD’’ to MANKIND
The WORD of God is Jesus Christ and
His Constitution is written in the Bible

The BIBLE is UNIQUE
The BIBLE is MATCHLESS--

Dikaiosyne(righteousness)

Jesus says: “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Mt 6,33). Rather than making faith a purely private issue, Jesus makes it a deeply political one: the Greek word dikaiosyne most Bibles translate with “righteousness” was in the original Greek language of the days of Jesus a political term meaning “state law”; described the constitution, the law that either God gave to later, a country gave itself. Jesus makes it abundantly clear of Moses was not only the bedrock of the Old Testament theocracy, rule of God, but is also foundational and valid in his Kingdom: “I come to abolish the law or the prophets, but to fulfil them” (Mt 5:17).

Jesus declares that how an individual treats these laws will determine his
very place in the Kingdom: “Anyone who breaks one of the least of these
Commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called the
least in the Kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these
commands will be called great in the Kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5:19).
Only those laws of Moses that pertain to atonement for sin, outward
holiness (like the food and purification laws) or the sacrifice of animals
are no longer needed and therefore valid today, as Jesus has become
the lamb of God, sacrificed once and for all for our sins.

His main premise is that false teaching comes from inside the church

Jude was anxious to write about our salvation
However, he changed topics to address contending for the faith--
We need to do the same in the 21st century

Jude is the only book given entirely to the great apostasy
The book has enormous value
However, many saints neglect this book
Jude appears before Revelation for a reason
It is one of the smallest (shortest) books in the New Testament
Jude comes across negative and intolerant but
His main premise is that false teaching comes from inside the church
The book of Jude is an important book for us today because it is written for the end times

Apostasy lives today
Jude is the only book given entirely to the great apostasy
Glory to God that we can pray as
We lay our lives on the altar of love
Jude admonishes us to contend for the faith
Jude is a small but important book worthy of study, written for the Christian of today

The epistle of Jude appears before Revelation for a reason
The Holy Spirit made sure we understand the season before HE RETURNS
The idea is that the words in Jude may capture our hearts so
That we may understand the beauty of the Lord’s return

Jude is mostly about the defence of the Gospel
We find six examples of ‘Error’ in the epistle of Jude,
Which are mentioned by name: the people of Israel, angels,
Sodom and Gomorrah, Cain, Balaam and Korah
Clearly, this is the problem today!
How much more should we pray that God keeps us from deception?

We Glorify His Name and His keeping power so as we read
The epistle of Jude let us appreciate the fact that
We will know how it will be before the Lord returns
The Holy Spirit helped us a lot by putting the epistle of Jude before Revelation
Our defence today is mandatory, our love for Christ is essential and the
Blood of Jesus is our weapon against our enemy

We see the Lord returning in the Book of Revelation but
We see deception before revelation so it is important that
We also deal with the six errors found in the epistle of Jude
Especially in our own lives--
Your name should also be about the defence of the Gospel
Because the biggest problem we have today is religion
Religion has no respect for God and the Lord Jesus

Jude was anxious to write about our salvation
However, he changed topics to address contending for the faith--
We need to do the same in the 21st century

The Kingdom allows you to do right in secret

Religion allows you to be good
On Sunday and mess up on Monday
Religion allows you to pretend
Before the people and sin in secret

The Kingdom allows you to be the same
From Sunday to Sunday
The Kingdom allows you to do right in secret and
Be yourself in front of the people

Religion is from the enemy and
The Kingdom is from our Heavenly Father
Religion started when our enemy rebelled
Because he wanted a new ‘position’
The Kingdom was given to us before
The foundations of the world
Religion calls for ‘practices’ to be fulfilled
The Kingdom exposes the heart of the Father

It is common for religious people
To be good on Sunday and mess up on Monday
Kingdom people are citizens of Heaven
They reflect Our Heavenly Father’s Heart

We give thanks to the Holy Spirit who
Helps us to live the life of the Kingdom

The death of Jesus on the Cross made

It possible that we can be the same from Sunday to Sunday

When the saints can’t smile

This is the time to be open with Jesus
If you are unhappy then tell Him
If you are angry then tell Him

Today many saints find it hard to smile
But we have a councillor—the Holy Spirit
We have the Kingdom of God that Jesus taught
When your smile is gone
He cares, all you have to do is
Dare to call Him even when you 'fall'
When you can't go that extra mile,
Remember, He knows your pain,
So retain your joy and live your
Life with Kingdom Purpose
God cares, so share your pain
With Him and He can carry your burden
God's the great surgeon!
I am certain that when your smile is gone
He cares, all you have to do is 'dare'
To call Him even when you 'fall'
God is good,
He stood on a 'hill' and declared
His love as He came down like a dove and
Showered us with mercy and grace!
He cares when your smile is gone
He is the Great Surgeon!
This is the time to be open with Jesus
If you are unhappy then tell Him
If you are angry then tell Him

The Kingdom of God, Antioch and our Neighborhoods

Life isn’t always easy
However God gives us the Kingdom of Heaven wherever we are
He will show us how to survive wherever we are—
He will give us HIS HOLY SPIRIT
He will be there with us

Antioch was the third largest city in the Roman Empire
It was a place of infectious disease—
Sickness was highly visible on the streets
The city was filled with misery, danger, fear etc
The averaged family lived in a crowded and filthy environment—
Half of the children died at birth or during childhood
Many children lost one parent before reaching maturity
Antioch was a place of depression
However God sent HIS KINGDOM to that place
In order to show HIS ETERNAL GRACE—
Jesus brought a new culture (of Heaven) and
His WAYS would allow individuals to
Live in tough conditions with the Kingdom of God—
The Community of Jesus Christ (His Ecclesia) will
Bring joy, hope, and a sense of family and above
All many will receive the HOLY SPIRIT

There are many places in the world
That represents Antioch in the 21st century—
Today God is also sending many to good and
Take HIS WORD in the most unlikely places—
Let us do that because God will not forget them...


Life isn’t always easy
However God gives us the Kingdom of Heaven wherever we are
He will show us how to survive wherever we are—
He will give us HIS HOLY SPIRIT

There is a Divine Wedding in the future

The Church stands at the centre of God’s purpose
Jesus will have His Bride in the future
He died on Calvary and He rose AGAIN

There is a Divine Wedding in the future and
Nothing can stop this Wedding
The beauty of the Bride can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
The Bride of Christ is Everlasting

The Bride was before the beginning
The Bride was with him only in thought but now
The Bride is displayed on earth as the ecclesia (church)—
Soon she will get married

There is a Divine Wedding in the future and
Nothing can stop this Wedding
The beauty of the Bride can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
The Bride of Christ is Everlasting

The Bride stands at the center of God’s purpose
Jesus will have His Bride in the future
Jesus Christ died on Calvary and He rose AGAIN

The day draws near
The ecclesia should not fear—
He holds dear His future Bride because
She is His Eternal Love

The Heavenly Father has given His Son an Eternal Bride
She is the Bride of Christ

Many prayers in a prayer meeting are not genuine

Today prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time

The brothers and sisters should pray
Short direct prayers related to the condition
Brothers and Sisters should also be genuine and
Their words in the prayer meeting should be honest
Saints in a prayer meeting must learn to be real

Many prayers in a prayer meeting are not genuine
When some pray, they give the impression that
Some man should hear and be impressed by that pray
Prayer is not preaching; we want God to hear our prayer
In a prayer meeting, praying short prayers and genuinely
Should be the norm for the progression of a meeting

The Bible’s prayers are predominantly short
This will be a good pattern to follow
Many prayer meetings today are almost powerless
There are too many topics being prayed about and
The one accord found in Matthew 18 is nonexistent

Ten out of ten prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time

“To the world you may be just somebody but to somebody you may just be the world”

Love is a certainty that can never be destroyed
Love conquers—love is victorious
As we walk through this world
We must remember that we are very precious to someone—
Let the world think of us as they like but
They can never rob us of the love of Jesus
God is love and so we should not shove our purpose away
From our destiny because the Bride is central to His Name
The wedding day draws near
Now is not the time to fear so
Let us stand and know that love conquers
Love is victorious and love remains

Love is a certainty that can never be destroyed
“To the world you may be just somebody but to somebody you may just be the world”

Kingdom Maturing

Assuredly, I say to you whosoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child will, by no means enter in.” Luke 18:17

Luke 17:20-21: “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed the kingdom of God is within you (or in your midst).”

John 3;3, 5-6: Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again (or from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

Jesus was empowered to demonstrate Heaven’s (Kingdom) authority
He could do this because of the Holy Spirit—
John 1:32-34: And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him. I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

We can now also demonstrate the Authority of Heaven (Kingdom)
We can live this life because of what Jesus did on the Cross
We now also have the Holy Spirit—the practicality of the Kingdom
We are ‘born’ into the Kingdom and we must mature in the Kingdom lifestyle

Our Kingdom constitution is unchanging and unchangeable
The Bible is the constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven
It is the expressed will of our King
The constitution gives us legal rights as citizens of Heaven so
That we can mature in our legal domain

We can now also demonstrate the Authority of Heaven (Kingdom)
We are also empowered from Heaven—the Holy Spirit
The power of Christ knows no boundary of time or space
His Grace saves us at the right time
No one surpasses Jesus and His Kingdom

Matthew 16:19, “And I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven.

The joy of God’s Creativity is now

“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I made known to you…” John 15:15

The Lord is opening doors of creativity and productivity
Let us take the Kingdom into the marketplace and
Impact our society for the glory of God, the Father

God is expanding His Kingdom on earth
This was His original plan to bring the unseen into the seen
He is busy turning the world upside down and
How glorious it is to know that we are His instruments
The Kingdom is being expanded aggressively!
Let us assist our Great God and Heavenly Father who
Doesn’t really need our help but has given us
The privilege of setting up His Kingdom on this earth

The door has been opened for us so
We should let the Gospel of the Kingdom do
The talking to those whom we work with

The Kingdom is now
The joy of God’s Creativity is now
The love of God is everlasting…
Our kingdom Destiny is before us,
We were born for this hour so
Let us not fail the hour because
Our kingship was given by God

God did not send money to save us

Life is not only about a dollar bill
Life is about Jesus Christ
Those that abuse money will
Clearly end up in the dark
A man can only have One God
He cannot serve two masters

After I wrote the poem, ‘Hundred dollar bills’
God opened my eyes so that I
Might understand the danger of a foolish mind
We cannot remain blind to the truth so
Let us get out of the dark

God did not send money to save us
He sent His Son so that we could be saved
Therefore, let us always remind ourselves
That life is not only about a ‘dollar bill’
Life is about Jesus Christ

Those that abuse money will
Clearly end up in the dark

Poison in the Church

Many of these men cannot handle criticism
There will always be false teachers on this planet
As the ecclesia (Church) moves forward
False teachers will try and take the true ecclesia off course (off track)
Many of the false teachers are found on television (my perception)

False teachers are pretending to be preachers of the Gospel
With charm, they enhance their features
They claim to have a romance (relationship) with the Lord Jesus Christ
However, their speech is rotten because the doctrine they preach is
Based on personal revelation…
They forget about the Gospel and what is worse
They add to the Gospel of Jesus Christ

The Pharisees were certain that they
Were not the children of the devil
Yet Jesus said that they were (Matthew 23)
Today the religious leaders are doing the same thing the Pharisees did
They are deceiving the people with their
False teachings and man-made ideas which are not from God
Outwardly, they appear to be righteous,
And use the scriptures much like the Pharisees did

Many of these men cannot handle criticism
(After they are criticized—they want to pray against you)
Most people think that satan’s ministers are merely
Those in the Occult or devil worship but he
Also have his ministers in every major denomination

The organized church today is interested in making money
And merchandising the word of God--
They pretend to be helping people but in reality
They are destroying the people by teaching false doctrine

We have to discern what people teach because
False teachers may be lovely, kind, charming but their doctrine is poison
The Lord is the One who warned us about this fate but
We thank the Lord that it is not to late because to
Many false teachers only date God
We must guard ourselves and we must trust God
When we feel in our spirit that a man’s teaching is wrong because
We see today that false teachers may be lovely, kind, charming but
Their doctrine is poison…

False teachers are pretending to be preachers of the Gospel
With charm, they enhance their features
They claim to have a romance with the Lord Jesus Christ
However, their speech is rotten because the doctrine they preach is

The Assignment of Jesus

The Assignment of Jesus is OUR assignment
If we discover what HIS Assignment was
Then we will know what our assignment is
This will solve a lot of wrong information--

Jesus had only one Assignment which was
To bring the Kingdom of God to earth--
To show man that HE once again could walk with God--
That MAN once again could have FELLOWSHIP (a RELATIONSHIP) WITH God
Jesus came to show the MIND of God

Everybody is looking for the Kingdom of God
Everybody would like to control their situation--
Everything we need is found in the Holy Spirit

Prosperity, Healing, faith etc are all benefits of the Kingdom
It is not the Kingdom Message--If we are born-again
It is merely the first part in order to get into the Kingdom

If we know what was the Lord’s ASSIGNMENT
Then we will know what is our assignment--
The problem is that some of us think it is to simple
But in reality the Kingdom of God is all that we have to preach and
God the Father will make it practical for the whole world

The Assignment of Jesus was the Kingdom of God
It is important that we understand the Greek words
In the New Testament to fuller appreciate the meaning

Let us study the Kingdom of God

Psalm 71:15-18

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness
And Your salvation all the day,
For I do not know their limits.
I will go in the strength of the Lord God.
I will make mention of Your righteousness,
of Yours only. O God,
You have taught me from my youth;
And to this day I declare Your wondrous works.
Now also when I am old and gray headed,
O God, do not forsake me,
Until I declare Your strength to this generation,
Your power to everyone who is to come.

You are Holy, Holy, Holy—

The Glory of Your Name is seen in its practicality
Worthy is the Name of the Lord and you are most worthy of praise

Your Name Overshadows Everything
You Purpose will be fulfilled beyond time

Doctrinal Correction

Doctrine seems to be a FORGOTTEN issue as
We move closer to the Lord's return
Today ‘big’ churches are built by men with
Strong entrepreneurial skills and weak exegetical skills
A lot of them live on emotion; they leave God out of the equation
Heresy is easily accepted when you have a crowd with emotion
In such a context you can say certain things and people will believe you

Today a lot of ministers are undiscerning when it comes to doctrine
They want their own lives to shine without any problems
They want to be ‘liked’ by everybody
We should be cautious when all men speak well of us
Because the Gospel will disturb the peace!

I see many big churches going down the wrong road
All they have is the message of ‘prosperity’
Prosperity should never be the main message
Churches have big numbers because of this message and
So they regard big numbers as proof of success and divine blessing

Today many ignore doctrinal correction because
They know if they do that, they will lose members
So they constantly preach a feel-good-message

People had to be corrected in Jesus’ day (religious leaders) and
So a lot of His words were strong and harsh
We need to do the same today

May God strengthen us!

The idea that God wants everybody to be wealthy is a dangerous one

Many of us might not serve Jesus if we are wealthy
Many Christians believe that if you are wealthy
It is an indication that you are a good disciple of Jesus—
It will not be wise if all of us are wealthy because
Many would then not be serving Jesus—
Wealth has destroyed many Christian lives and
Wealth has taken many of them away from Jesus—
Many people that are wealthy would not want Jesus to return
Because that would spoil their status on earth—
They would want to spend their money first!

The idea that God wants everybody to be wealthy is a dangerous one
Many that are rich are actual poor—
Many Christians today have implemented the Television program
“I want to be a millionaire” in their lives—
Many Christians also play the lottery in the church
They give to God so that God can double their money or
Give them back a hundred fold—
Money is not the problem but the love of it is!

Most of us need to understand that when
We have nothing in our pockets then we are actual RICH because
Jesus will show at that time the RICHNESS of the HOLY SPIRIT

The idea that God wants everybody to be wealthy is a dangerous one and
It has deceived many because money has stolen their salvation
Many has become their SAVIOUR

May God help us all…

Christian Poetry For this Century 2010

A note about the form of poetry:
Many people battle with reading and so the idea is to write short sentences and inspire them to read. I usually produce articles in this form of poetry because it will help the reader to accept the beauty of reading while at the same time impacting his or her life. No poem is over 500 words.

The Kingdom Driven Church

There are many different churches
There are many different churches with different messages
However there is only ONE real message—it is
The message of the Kingdom of God—

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

There are many who are in the church building
However many of them are not citizens of Heaven—
They only belong to a church
They dress a certain way and they
Allow their dress code to give them a spiritual status—
The error is so plain to see yet
Many remain a victim to the bondage of religion

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

The Kingdom driven church is hard to find
However the message of the Kingdom of God is PREACHED
The Kingdom of God is not taught in Universities—
The Kingdom of God is not taught in many churches

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

Many churches have made born again the Gospel message
The gospel of being born again is the
First part of the Gospel of the kingdom
It is not the peak of a man’s life
Many saints are just inside the door—
Jesus said that He is the door

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus the Christ

Man did not fall from Heaven
But he was on earth when he ‘fell’
We tend to write off this life and
Look forward to passing over into Heaven
Because we want Jesus to save us from this mess on earth
A religion that can’t be tested can’t be trusted

Basileia is the Greek word translated “kingdom” in the New Testament Basileia is used 164 times in the New Testament—

The Good News is that God’s Government can Rule in
Man’s heart again and he can get back to his original position
Man did not fall from Heaven
But he was on earth when he ‘fell’
Jesus came to restore his ‘position’—
We tend to write off this life and
Look forward to passing over into Heaven
Because we want Jesus to save us from this mess on earth

Your situation is not too dead Part 1
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be revived
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be renewed
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be restored

“At times we will face things that
Look final but it is only the beginning
We lose many things in life because
We declare them dead prematurely
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
Brilliantly disguised as impossible situations”

Face your problem
Many of the things that happen in our lives are
Like alarm clocks in order to get us out of our
Comfort zones and get us back on track with
Our planned destinies; they wake us up to
The real issues of our lives
When you know your destiny
You can get knocked down
But you will get back up because
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be revived
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be renewed
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be restored

Where JESUS can be found is the ONE we all need--
Everyone is searching for the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God that JESUS brought is the DOOR of HOPE

Therefore we can take this Gospel of the Kingdom to the whole
The Lord said we can because HE knew that everyone will
Be looking for the Kingdom of God

People have found many things from other religions and
In reality they believe that they have found the Kingdom of God
However the words of JESUS show us how to get into the Kingdom

A DOOR of HOPE is AVAILABLE
Problems is one channel to push you to the DOOR of HOPE

Jesus, Yeast and the Kingdom of God

Matthew 13:33

Yeast is one of the most powerful influencing agents
In the world and it exist for one reason--
It infects whatever it is mixed with--
It influences the dough
The Kingdom of God is the most powerful instrument on earth
It can influence any organization and territory--

Yeast is inactive when it is sealed in the package
It cannot do its work until it is released into the dough
We were released in the world and the
Father of Jesus Christ will expand HIS KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God is occupying territory
It will INFLUENCE territories of the world

Yeast by itself looks helpless and insignificant
However once released its impact is phenomenal
So let us not be afraid of taking up the
Task that the Lord intends us to take
Yeast has a wonderful purpose
It makes dough rise and expand
Yeast is a living organism—
Yeast influences dough
It gives off a gas that causes dough to rise
It fulfils its function invisibly
Just like the Kingdom of God

Yeast is not intimidated by the size of the dough
We must not be intimated by the size of our assignment--
As Kingdom Citizens we have a GOVERNOR to assist us
Yeast will affect dough--You don’t have to fast for it or
Practice a certain ritual for it--
Yeast will do its Job so it is with the Kingdom of God

Yeast is not influenced by the dough,
But the dough is influenced by the yeast--
The Kingdom of God is not influenced by the world
But the world is influenced by the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom never becomes the world but
The world becomes the Kingdom

Yeast changes the condition of the dough
The longer yeast has to work--
The greater the transformation of the dough
The longer our influence is in a place,
The more that place should become like the Kingdom of Heaven

Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to yeast
This concept demonstrates the fact that God is working
When we can’t see anything--
He is working behind the scenes
He is actively involved with the extension of His Kingdom
Yeast works quietly
It does not force anything
It just goes to work and influence...

Yeast works well under heat
The pressure helps the heat so
The problems of the world help the Kingdom of God
Jesus Christ is the GREAT HEALER
We have faith in Our Lord and by His Holy Spirit
The practicality of His Kingdom is progressively moving
The Kingdom of God is expanding; God is making it grow
We are but mere instruments for His Glory
We are Sons of the Most High God

Yeast has a wonderful purpose
It makes dough rise and expand
Yeast is a living organism
Yeast influences dough
It gives off a gas that causes dough to rise
It fulfils its function invisibly

The Kingdom influences and moves forward

His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.”(Mat 6:33)

Over 100 times by our Lord—
The message of the Kingdom was what Jesus emphasized the most!

The Kingdom of God is for the people
The Kingdom of God is for the EARTH
The Kingdom of God is not just for you
The Kingdom of God is for the people

Jesus brought His Kingdom and we are citizens of that Kingdom
We have only one duty on this earth; we extend His Kingdom

It has come to help you in the last days

Your purpose requires the assault of pressure
Through this process your treasure will be revealed
Don’t hide away from pressure; it has come to help you!

Confusion has a wonderful purpose
It simple means that everything is present
But it is just in the wrong position
Therefore your purpose requires the assault of pressure
So that the treasure of your life can be seen

There is a treasure that must seen
Pressure is the only principle (tool) that can get it out
Many don’t know that it exist in you so the world
Must see it especially when you are placed under pressure

Pressure has only one purpose
It has come to help you in the last days
It has come to reveal the treasure that must be seen
Many don’t know that it exist in you so the world must
See it especially when you are placed under pressure

Loving a building instead of loving the LORD JESUS

There is no holiness found in the brick structure
But the holiness is found within the saint which the Lord inhabits
We are holy because He is Holy and He has cleanse our sins
Furthermore, it has been the church institutions which have
Distorted many original Bible words in order to advance
Their own various denominational creeds and brick structures

Today many Christians are in love with the wrong thing
Today many Christians are in love with the church building
This is just like all other religions that are in love with their buildings
However, the followers of Jesus suppose to be different…
We are in love with Jesus and not the building
We appreciate the building but it is not our master

The best years of the Church came when they had no buildings
God therefore had no restrictions—
Many work better without walls so
We need to realize that the Church is not a ‘mall’
No wonder the Lord God always puts watchman on the walls

Our English word ‘church’ is derived from the Greek word ‘kuriakon’
This word means "belonging to a lord" but of itself, ‘kuriakon’ has absolutely
No religious connotation-- It simply meant the lord or master of a property
It is never used in the Bible in reference to the body of Jesus Christ (the church)

At times too many ‘other’ things can replace the Spirit
Men and women have a deadly habit called religion
But he or she that will live by the Word will
See why the Lord can be a dangerous person
When it comes to buildings because
”There will be left Not one stone upon another”
My brother and sister lets destroy religion in our lives!

Today many Christians are in love with the church building
Today many Christians are in love with the wrong thing
This is just like all other religions that are in love with their buildings
However, the followers of Jesus suppose to be different

There is no holiness found in the brick structure
But the holiness is found within the saint which the Lord inhabits
We are holy because He is Holy and He has cleanse our sins
Furthermore, it has been the church institutions which have
Distorted many original Bible words in order to advance

The Word of God is not affected by recession

Peter 5:7, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Lack of money causes many problems for people
However, recession does not affect the Word of God
The world is facing an economic meltdown
However, recession does not affect the Word of God
Money matters make us do ‘funny stuff’
However, recession does not affect the Word of God

God’s promises are true—go to Government of Heaven
The Bible warned the world about financial trouble many times
The Word of God also promised relief for the citizens of Heaven
The Bible guarantees that recession does not affect the Word of God—
Today we must believe it and cast our care upon the Lord

He is our Provider—
He is our Leader; He is our King
His Government will take care of us
We are His Responsibility—
We are His Citizens

Let us be strong because recession does not affect the Word of God
God’s promises are true—go to Government of Heaven

Her beauty can never be destroyed

Her beauty can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
His Bride is Everlasting

His Name is reflected on her Face
Through Grace, she has achieved her redemption—
She is alive forevermore and she will remain with Him
He is her husband and she is the Bride of Christ

She was before the beginning
She was with him only in thought but now
She is displayed on earth as the ekklesia—
Soon she will get married

The day draws near
The ekklesia should not fear—
He holds dear His future Bride because
She is His Eternal Love

The Heavenly Father has given His Son an Eternal Bride
She is the Bride of Christ
Her beauty can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
His Bride is Everlasting

The Truth you may never hear in Church

"The word 'kingdom' is found fifty-five times in Matthew; twenty times in Mark, forty-six times in Luke and five times in John. When allowance is made for the use of the word to refer to secular kingdoms and for parallel verses of the same sayings of Jesus, the phrase 'the kingdom of God' and equivalent expressions (e.g., 'Kingdom of heaven,' 'his kingdom') occurs about eighty times . . . These statistics show the great importance of the concept in the teachings of Jesus . . . There can, therefore, be little doubt that the phrase 'the kingdom of God' expresses the main theme of His teaching" (Vol. III, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, 1976, p. 804).

The message Jesus commissioned His early apostles to teach is called the good news, or gospel, of the Kingdom of God (Luke 9:1-2).

Jesus used the same words to announce the message His Church should broadcast through the ages: the good news of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15; Luke 8:1).

The Gospels frequently summarize Jesus' teachings with the same terminology: "the gospel of the kingdom" (Matthew 4:23; 9:35; 24:14).

Jesus equated gaining salvation with entering the Kingdom (Matthew 19:16, 23-24), and He explained the loss of salvation in terms of rejection from the Kingdom (Luke 13:28).

The message of salvation is called the Word of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:19).
The hope and comfort of a Christian are said to be in entering the Kingdom (Mark 10:15).

The principal goal of a Christian is to seek first the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33).
Righteous people are called sons of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:38).
The undisputed theme of many of Christ's parables is the Kingdom of God, or the Kingdom of Heaven (verses 44-45, 47).

When Jesus' impending birth was revealed to Mary by the angel Gabriel, the unborn child was declared to be the King of a kingdom (Luke 1:30-33).

What are you hearing in church?
Mark frank

We will not stand as a congregation on the Day of judgement

Is the baptist church better than the full gospel church?
Is the roman catholic church better than the anglican church?
Is the pentecostal church better than the apostolic church?
(The list goes on and on)

Church wars are alive in the 21st century
Congregations challenge each other with their dress code—
They do not dress themselves with Christ
Congregations have programs to show other congregations that
They do more for the Lord than others do—
Yet they do not congregate with the Lord Jesus
They leave Him outside and as a result
He stands at the door and knocks
Congregations are doing so much against each other
(Especially when they become self centred) and
Sadly, many are doing nothing for Christ except hurting each other!

Are you part of a church war or are you fighting the battle against darkness?
Let us not waste our energy with church wars—
We have no need to be better than others!
Our pattern is Christ; He is our Victory

We will not stand as a congregation on the Day of judgement
We will stand alone—let our judgement be based on principles and not emotion

Fear thou not; for I am with thee

Isaiah 41:10-13 (in part) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God; I will strengthen thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteous right hand...I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying...Fear not; I will help thee."

We will face this situation
Jesus expects us to stand against it
He said that He would fight for us
So we must dare to stand and
He will confirm His Word

We are standing in honour of His Name
He is the Key to life and
He is concerned about all areas of life
When they turned against us
Jesus turned towards us
They forgot about our Maker
They forgot about our Saviour

We see cowards who talk behind closed doors
These are the men who claim to be perfect and
So they believe that their plan would work
They were wrong…

Our response is from the Book and
In this Book Jesus looked at us so
The next time they try to destroy
A part of our lives
They should remember that Jesus is the the King
Our Maker wants all to be saved and our
Book says that no weapon formed against us will prosper

We bow before God and stand before you so
The next time you look for us
Remember that we are running towards Isaiah 41:10-13

An Unshakeable Kingdom in the 21st century

“They surrounded me on every side, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off. They swarmed around me like bees, but they died out as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off. I was pushed back and about to fall, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.” Psalm 118:11-14

"Through you we push down our foes; through your Name we tread down those who rise up against us. For not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword save me." Psalm 44:5-6

The Kingdom of God is a FEARLESS KINGDOM
The Monarchy of Heaven is Kingdom driven
The King sent HIS KINGDOM to EARTH
So that earth could be absorbed with Heaven’s culture

Heaven has given us angels to battle for us
So we declare HIS WORD and HIS PLAN on EARTH and
Our King shows us the practicality of the KINGDOM
The King receives ALL the GLORY and His NAME is EXALTED
The King will not allow HIS NAME to be DEFAMED because
His Kingdom is UNSHAKEBLE

Our King has great PATIENCE
However, when the time is right
HE will move in and support the CITIZENS of Heaven
God will cut off our enemies not out of hatred
But out of purpose because His Kingdom is UNSHAEABLE and
His PLAN goes forth on the EARTH--
“I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.” Job 41:2

The name of our King is GREAT and His name is JESUS
His Kingdom is UNSTOPABLE
No one panics in the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is the Most Stable Entity--
The kingdom of God is alive and well on planet earth
It is advancing and people are coming into His kingdom
God is the source of creativity
Therefore no matter what problem we are face
The solution is found in Christ Jesus
God has given us His promises and we are thankful that
The kingdom of God is alive and well on planet
There is darkness but this darkness cannot destroy the kingdom of God
Our joy lies in Jesus; our purpose lies in the kingdom

The Government of God is practical and real
The Government of God is unstoppable
The Government of God achieves the impossible
Jesus is the King of our Government

Faith on the road of life

Walking through life
I could not see the clear picture but over
The years you have become 'dear' to me
So my fear is gone—
It started with a step of faith
You took me to a 'higher' place
You reached into my life and showed me why
The knife(brokenness) was necessary
You gave me strength and walked
With me the extra mile—
You opened my heart and showed me ‘night and day’
Thank you for your love and thank you for
Carrying me every 'step' of the way

It started with a step of faith
But now it has become a life of faith,
All because you are faithful and true
All praise is due to you
So I pursue you day and night

Each battle will point us to the Cross of Calvary

“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man” (Psalms 60:11)

Jesus Christ and His Word remains Forever
Jesus is the Anointed One of God and we are in Christ Jesus—
His Righteous Government endures for all generations
His Sovereign Rule can never be destroyed

Hell has no choice but to attack us
Hell can do nothing against the Blood of Jesus
Hell is defeated; we do not battle by focusing on the enemy
We focus on our King and we give Him thanks for the victory
We enter into His gates with thanksgiving—
We declare His Great Name
We hold up His promises and
Believe by faith in His plan and purpose--
It is hard at times to praise God when the circumstances are tough
However, this is the time to get ‘rough’ with praise and lift Him up
God keeps His promises—
His word is eternal and His love is great

The battle against the Anointed will continue
Each battle will point us to the Cross of Calvary
The Blood of Jesus is Victorious
The Father of the Everlasting age is Eternal
He is the Mighty God
His Government is Supreme
His Empire is Unshakable and
His Word is in the Bible

Let us not be threatened by a hostile environment
Let us know that God will support us
When it is related to the Kingdom of His Son
Let us stand in the name of Jesus and not be afraid of their faces
It is hard at times to praise God when the circumstances are tough
However, this is the time to get ‘rough’ with praise and lift Him up
God keeps His promises—
His word is eternal and His love is great

Jesus has pre-eminence over all things
We are ambassadors sent to represent
The King and His Kingdom
With patience we shall wait on the Lord and not grow weary
As we humble ourselves before the Lord,
We shall see the victory of His hand
Many will rise up against us but
We are not surprised or moved in fear because
We have the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob whom we love

You armed me with strength for battle

My soul does not speak in arrogance
My tears flow because my enemies do not know
The glory of Jesus and the love of God
In the future, they will try their nonsense again
But they have no knowledge that the Word
Has already been given for the future battle

"You armed me with strength for battle;
You made my adversaries bow at my feet.
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them --
to the Lord but he did not answer.
I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind;
I poured them out like a mud in the streets.
You have delivered me from the attacks of the people" Psalms 18: 39-43

My soul does not speak in arrogance
My tears flow because my enemies do not know
The glory of Jesus and the love of God
The word of the Lord is justice and
It is important to do unto others
As you would have them do unto you
My enemy had no idea that the
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of justice

N.B The enemy we deal with is ruthless; he will smile with you but stab you in your back! The enemy is cunning and deceitful. He is heartless and has no respect for God's principles! Our Lord paid the price and our enemy is defeated. The blood of Jesus speaks.

Financial Difficulty

What do you do when you owe money but have nothing in your hand?
You speak to the Government of Heaven

Our Father seeks people who are open and honest
Many people are placed in financial trouble because
God wants to break the cycle of religion in their lives
Many rely on the system of the world and
Forget about the Government of Heaven
Therefore, when you are in financial difficulty
Give, give, and you will see how
God will bless, bless and bless you
Don’t stress, stress too much in your situation but
Rest, rest in the Lord Jesus who is our provider

The Bible never explains how the money
Got into the fish’s mouth but we do know
That Jesus needed some money—
He had nothing in His hand at the time but
He had the Government of Heaven on His shoulders and
As a result, He got it when He needed it the most!

What do you do when you owe money but have nothing in your hand?
You speak to the Government of Heaven
Financial Difficulty is sometimes a joke because
The Lord already spoke about your situation

The Lord gives strength to his people
“When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me
they will stumble and fall.”
Psalm 27:2

The assault was felt by many but
The enemy had no idea that we were
Tied together by the belt of truth
The proof was seen in our reaction because
The transaction on the Cross is our victory
History has seen this battle many times
The crime cannot last forever because
The Word of the Lord stands forever

Their weapon is guided by the Lord
Their foolishness is brought upon by the enemy
We stand because the land belongs to the Lord
As citizens of Heaven we remember the creed in
Matthew chapter seven so we will accept the loss of friendship

“The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
Psalm 29:11

He delivers the saints from all their fears

The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting. Psalms 119:160

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. Psalms 145:18

Forever, O LORD, Your word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:89

All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying,
“A vile disease has beset him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.”
Even my close friend whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. Psalm 41:7-9

They said those things but
They had no idea what Jesus said…
His Word is in the Bible and
It is the gateway for our survival

Misery knocks on my door
Misery opens the door and sees me on the floor
I am talking to Jesus knowing that misery is coming
I know that they will try everything to get rid of us
We represent Jesus and Jesus means trouble in their mind
They are not about peace—they are about deception
The reception we got from them were cruel but
They had no idea that Jesus is beyond everybody

“A righteous man may have many troubles, but the
Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.”Psalms 34:19-20

Jesus stands in front of me—Misery cannot enter
I am talking to Jesus knowing that misery is coming
The Name of Jesus overshadows everything
The Lord redeems His People—He is the Rock
He delivers the saints from all their fears

“But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
On those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
to deliver them from death and keep them alive from famine.”Psalm 33:19-20

Jesus has got the Power and
He has empowered us to continue His Work
The Work is not always easy but we know that
He has got the Whole World in His Hands

The Son keeps us moving
The Son extends His Kingdom through us
We walk on this planet knowing that
He has the whole world in His Hands
Jesus remains the Supreme Authority
Therefore, we move forward and continue His Work

Amen.

“Greatness lies not in being strong but in the right use of strength”

Greatness lies not in being strong
But in the right use of strength
As a witness you need to know
That Zion is a Lion

We should display meekness and
Know when to be a lion—
Most Christians waste their energy and
When the time comes for them to act like a lion
We find out that they are depleted because
They depended on their own energy
Some end up defeated because they do
Not depend on the character of Jesus Christ

Greatness is control
Boldness in your heart should
Always be on patrol or else
Your role in life will be futile

Preserve your energy
Understand the principle of synergy and
Know that greatness lies not in being strong
But in the right use of strength

Living Forward—Understanding Backward

God has allowed us to cross a lot of terrain
His Grace has been sufficient
We move forward in His Name but we look back to
The Cross of Calvary, remembering what he did for us

Living Forward—Understand Backward is the life of the saint
The cross paints the picture of the Love of the Father
When Jesus died, He looked forward and saw His Bride (His Ecclesia)
When we live, we look backward in order to move forward

Sometimes we think that we will not make it
However, Jesus already looked past our future—
He looked forward so that we could look and
Be guaranteed of our Future with Him

Living Forward—Understand Backward is the life of the saint
The cross paints the picture of the Love of the Father
When Jesus died, He looked forward and saw His Bride (His Ecclesia)
When we live, we look backward in order to move forward

One NAME One KINGDOM One PURPOSE

One Name secures our victory
One Sovereign Lord declares His Name
Jesus is the Name of VICTORY

Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to yeast
This concept demonstrates the fact that God is working
When we can’t see anything—
He is working behind the scenes
He is actively involved with the extension of His Kingdom—
Yeast has a wonderful purpose
It makes dough rise and expand
Yeast is a living organism—
Yeast influences dough
It gives off a gas that causes dough to rise
It fulfils its function invisibly
The Kingdom of God is expanding; God is making it grow

One Name secures our victory
One Sovereign Lord declares His Name
Jesus is the Name of VICTORY
He cannot be stopped
The Name of Jesus is the Name of RESURRECTION

The Kingdom of God is alive and well
The Kingdom of God is occupying territory
The Kingdom of God cannot be shaken

One NAME One KINGDOM One PURPOSE is the life of the CITIZEN of HEAVEN

Our Government does not fear any man or country

[He] gave himself for our sins, to deliver us from this present evil world.
Galatians 1:4

His Government loves people
His Government was given to deliver us from this evil world
We are in this world but we are not of this world
The Cross is a product of the Kingdom and
The Kingdom is a reflection of the Cross

The Blood of Jesus saves us
The Kingdom reflects the Government of Jesus
Today we confront the kingdoms of this world because
Our Government is supreme and our Government
Does not fear any man or country

We have our military which supports our endeavours
To bring honour to His Holy Name and His Government
Our Government is very practical and does not hide away
When we pray in accordance with His Constitution
Our Government delivers and our enemy shivers

The Blood of Jesus saves us
The Kingdom reflects the Government of Jesus
Today we confront the kingdoms of this world because
Our Government is supreme and our Government
Does not fear any man or country

Our enemies’ weapon is guided by the Lord

“When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me they will stumble and fall.” Psalm 27:2

The assault was felt by many but
The enemy had no idea that we were
Tied together by the belt of truth
The proof was seen in our reaction because
The transaction on the Cross is our victory
History has seen this battle many times
The crime cannot last forever because
The Word of the Lord stands forever

Their weapon is guided by the Lord
Their foolishness is brought upon by the enemy
We stand because the land belongs to the Lord
As citizens of Heaven we remember the creed in
Matthew chapter seven so we will accept the loss of friendship

“The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.”
Psalm 29:11

If your wife or husband would like a divorce
Ps 34:17-19

If your wife or husband would like a divorce
Do not resort to violence of any sort
Don’t use force but enforce your
Heart upon the Lord
Speak in silence to the Lord
Your whole heart is not seen in anger,
Do not make yourself a stranger to
God because of your pain
If you feel the heavy rain
It is time to deal directly with God
Do not make decisions based on emotion because
God has a promotion for you

Show Him your devotion in your time of pain
If adultery was the main cause of hate
The Lord wants you to ‘make’ your decision so
Take some time and spend
A serious moment with the Lord
Be brave and if there are children involve,
Remember Christ can solve your problem
God has a promotion for you so
Secure your devotion to the Lord

In the worst situation Jesus provides hope

There is always hope in order to cope
Jesus is the life of hope
Day after day there is hope inside my heart
When I'm anticipating a new start
I'm lifting up my hands to the sky
Because I'm about to try...
In the worst situations Jesus provides hope

We can live with the hope of tomorrow
Because I know there is Jesus--
Like the wind on the wings of a sparrow
We can fly with the word of the Lord
We can rejoice because we have the victory in His Name

Jesus will open a closed door and
He will close an open door--
His Kingdom is here and everything
We need is found in the Holy Spirit so
There is always hope to cope because of Jesus Christ

Kingdom Invasion

"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14)

The invasion of the Kingdom is important to the Saint because
Many people around us would like to invade us—
There are other religions that would like to invade our lives so
The invasion of the Kingdom is important to us

The Kingdom ADVANCES
The Kingdom advances because it saves
The Kingdom cares for people and
The Kingdom wants to break
The barrier of religion in the lives of people

The Kingdom of God invades our lives and
Then moves on and invades those things around us
His Government will always INCREASE and
No one can shatter HIS PEACE—
When God came to earth as a man
His Kingdom came to EARTH—
This MAN died but rose from the grave and
This has given us a glimpse into what type of Kingdom we find ourselves
This Kingdom is UNSTOPPABLE

One wife, one life and ONE GOD

All we need is One Saviour--the Lord Jesus Christ
All I need is one wife and one life

Sharing God together
Believing in Jesus even
When the weather 'changes' in our lives

All I need is one life
Giving me one wife

Believing in our bond
Reaching our 'prime'
Knowing together we 'shine'
God made our relationship 'divine'
So I decline 'another'
Knowing there is no other

All I need is one wife
Making a life,
The 'beauty' in my heart is
Seen in the part you play

Thank God for one wife, one life!
We can always 'lay' ourselves down
Being together is our 'crown'

Number ONE

When you are number one
Everybody wants to be with you

When you are number two
People still see you

When you are number three
People start to free themselves from you

When you are number four
Friends start closing their door

When you are number five
People will not help you strive

However, this was good because when Christ saw me
He told me that when you are number five
‘I will make you strive

When you are number four
I will let no one shut the door

When you are number three
I will teach you the beauty of bowing your knee

When you are number two
I will be right next to you and
When you are number one
Remember it was God, the Father
Who gave His only begotten Son’!

Colossians 3:12; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26

The Breakfast of Champions

The best breakfast is not cereal
The best breakfast is the Word of God
The best breakfast is not eggs with bacon
The best breakfast is the Word of God
The best breakfast is no yogurt with fruit
The best breakfast is the Word of God

Meeting God in the morning is great
Pondering on HIS WORD is Glorious
Allowing HIS WORD to speak to you is beneficial--
The Word of the LORD is the breakfast of Champions

Let us always have the right breakfast
Because there are so many other things
That looks good but are not beneficial--
Many things are destructive to our lives
So let us always have the breakfast of Champions

The best breakfast is not cereal
The best breakfast is the Word of God
The best breakfast is not eggs with bacon
The best breakfast is the Word of God
The best breakfast is no yogurt with fruit
The best breakfast is the Word of God

The Holy Spirit stands on your side

Anticipation is the name of the game
Waiting for an answer
Might drive you insane but
If you remain in that single lane that
God has placed you in
The reflections of possibilities will be seen!

You might be driven further
By a burning ache
Remaining faithful that every part
Of you is ready for the ‘take’ because what
Christ has placed inside of you is ‘great’
Hate mediocrity but accept reality!

Fireworks present itself as
The beauty of ‘moan and groan’ is seen
Before the Lord,
As you lament
Christ will cement the explosion of
Your purpose, vision and the decision to
Ride against the tide,
As a member of the bride
The Holy Spirit stands on your side so
When you pray rebuke false pride and
As you lament God will fulfill His part!

The Military of Heaven will support its citizens

History repeats itself
Therefore, nothing should really surprise us
Many today believe that they are the army of God
However, I am glad that God’s army has supported (us) me—
The angels of God are a constant help
The Military of God supports its citizens—
The Lord will fight for us; He is our God
He will direct the Military of Heaven,
As Citizens of Heaven, we have some difficult trials but
Living by faith creates an opportunity for
The Lord to help us; He is our fighter

The ecclesia (church) of the New Testament times was
A church (ecclesia) in a hostile environment
Pressure will accumulate but we have a councillor –the Holy Spirit
We are victorious because of Jesus Christ our Lord
Let us look to Heaven’s Government and
The Eternal King of the Universe—
Let us call upon Heaven’s Military

The angels of God are a constant help
The Military of Heaven supports its citizens

The Right Hand of the God

Psalm 45:4: God's right hand teaches us
Psalm 48:10: God's right hand is full of righteousness
Psalm 77:10: Remembrance of the years of the right hand of the Most High
Psalm 110:1: The Father invites the Son to sit at His right hand
Habakkuk 2:16: The cup of God's judgment is held in His right hand Ephesians 1:20: Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father


When God works with His right hand
It is a work of skill and power--
Many times the Bible uses a human figure
To teach us something about God

This idea of the right hand is used
In the Scriptures more than fifty times--
We should not fear any situation because
When God moves His Right Hand--everything changes

“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11

“For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.” Psalm 135:5

“There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.” Psalm 86:8-10

The ONE on the CROSS--not the cross that many people carry

We must worship the ONE who died on the cross
We must not worship the cross
The ONE who has died is also
The ONE who came back from the grave
His Name is JESUS and HE is ALIVE forevermore

Many people in the 21st century emphasize
The cross rather than the One who died upon it--
It is the Blood that was shed that washes our sins away
Many people worship the cross and not the MAN upon the cross
So many people wear the cross--carry the cross with them etc
However, the man JESUS who was on the Cross is not in their heart

A cross is not essential to our salvation
But the BLOOD that was shed on the cross of Calvary is essential--
Many other people’s blood were shed on crosses but it is
The shedding of Christ’s blood in His death that saves us

The Blood of Jesus destroys the enemies’ kingdom
The Blood opened up the door for victory
The Blood of the Lamb provided access to the Kingdom of God
The Blood of Jesus brings us back to our original purpose

Many people in the 21st century emphasize

The work of the Lord continues Even if your job is threatened

If it wasn’t for Jesus
I would have lost my job long time
But God takes care of His citizens
Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith
He is the Finisher of His Work
Calvary declares the Victory and so
History has taught us that if it has
Not been for Jesus we would have been lost—
God through His love saved us

If it wasn’t for Jesus
I would have lost my job long time—
The work of the Lord continues
Even if your job is threatened—
When darkness approaches you
Light destroys it

When things rip through our hearts we can play the greatest part
Luke 7:13-15

Tranquillity is good but
Purity at heart is even better
Being real to oneself is the
Letter of the heart and dealing with
Uncertainty is fulfilling your part
Therefore, there are no surprises when
The art of life displays the tales of the crypt!

Tales of the crypt,
As it rips through your heart
You now have to come to grips
With the policy of life but when
Pain grips your heart
Take a trip with the Lord and see
The day shows the way,
He that does not want to face decay
Must lay himself on the altar so that his
Life will reflect the future
All glory to the Lord who teaches us that
When things rip through our hearts
We can play the greatest part
The glory of trial and error will be seen
When we stand before Him!

Wise as serpents 2010

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves,” Matthew 10:16

We must get our information from our Headquarters
The Holy Spirit is the Wisdom Giver
God’s wisdom is the key
We must rely on Him

Serpents are wise and cunning
Jesus expects his sheep to display these two traits
However, we must use these two traits in a very
Different way than the serpents and the wolves of the world

Jesus sent His disciples into the world
Today He has also sent us out
We are not to hide from the wolves but we must face them
We must preach the Gospel to everyone

We must be wise in these end times
Because the world is constantly changing
However there are still many that must receive the Lord
Let us be the instruments to bring people into the Kingdom
Let us do it by being as wise as serpents

Serpents are wise and cunning
Jesus expects his sheep to display these two traits
However, we must use these two traits in a very
Different way than the serpents and the wolves of the world

The Kingdom of God will break the cage of ‘passivity’

We should first seek the kingdom (Basileia) of God
By doing this we thoroughly declare that
We love the Lord our God with all our heart and mind

We do not seek religion because religion will keep us in bondage
We seek the kingdom of God so that Heaven can rule in our midst—
The Rule of God in our midst is the natural way of living
We focus on the resurrected life of Jesus Christ

The kingdom (Basileia) is used 164 times in the New Testament,
Over 100 times by our Lord Jesus—
Jesus taught more about the kingdom of God/Heaven than any other thing

The Kingdom of God will break the cage of ‘passivity’
The rage of glory will be revealed through the Body of Christ

As Paul reveals that our calling is to be fulfilled because
We were chosen before the foundations of the world
In order to declare and live His glory

The Church is under the command of a King so
We will bring the Government of Heaven to earth
This is the highest priority

Glory to Jesus, the Greatest Name,
The Church declares His fame
We must fulfil our calling with skill—
Skill provide by the Holy Spirit
The Government of Heaven will assist us

The Kingdom of God will break the cage of ‘passivity’
The rage of glory will be revealed through the Body of Christ
We should first seek the kingdom (Basileia) of God
By doing this we thoroughly declare that
We love the Lord our God with all our heart and mind

A Kingdom Agent in the Midst of the Storm

Moving forward
I know that I must meet a storm
This is the norm—
We were all born for a purpose

Jesus is with us in the storm
We can hold on to Him
Jesus calms the storm
Living in peace is something
I cannot merely afford—
We must stand up for the Kingdom concepts
Because the mind of the King declares it

Looking back
The Cross of Calvary keeps me on track
He bled on the Cross
I must expect the storm
This is the norm—
We were all born for a purpose

Standing still
I wait for my orders
I’m a Kingdom agent and
I am in the midst of a storm
But this is the norm—
We were all born for a purpose

Glory to God the Father that I can
Be a Kingdom agent in the midst of the storm

The Centrality of the Kingdom Cross

The Centrality of the Kingdom Cross endures forever
God is the One that gave His Son
There is no one like Christ
There is nothing like the Kingdom Cross
He paid the price for our transgressions so
Do not lose yourself in religion,
Make that decision and change your position
So that you can be a real Christian!
Use common sense and realize that serving
The Lord Jesus Christ is common and
Serving religion is uncommon

The kingdom of God is our inheritance
The kingdom of God is our treasure and
So we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and
Everything shall be added unto us in His time

The centrality of the Cross is the
Glory of Christianity
In life, there can be loss but if
You toss yourself upon your purpose in Christ Jesus
You will be fulfilled

We need to appreciate life
At times it is hard but
The ‘cards’ of life are both
Positive and negative so let us be
Selective and give the best to life
Not to get the best out of life

Heavenly Citizenship on Earth

paroikos
par'-oy-kos
From G3844 and G3624; having a home near, that is, (as noun) a by-dweller (alien resident): - foreigner, sojourn, stranger.

We were sent here for a purpose
We have Christian (citizens of Heaven) refugees on this planet
They are scatted everywhere in many places of the world
They cannot return to their homeland and they are not yet
At the place they would like to be
Some of their conditions are miserable
By the standards of the world yet
They have chosen it above what they had before
They love the Lord and they have become all things to men

We have dual citizenship in Christ Jesus
We are not of this world but we are in this world
We are here to represent our Government and His Principles
We are citizens of our country but we are also
Citizens of Heaven and our citizenship in Heaven make all the difference

The idea of the Christian being a "refugee" is useful (I Peter 2:1 1)
There are millions of political refugees in the world today
They are scattered in camps in many places in the world
Their present conditions are often "miserable"
By the standards of the world, yet
They have chosen it above what they had before.
They live hoping for a better future
Some will obtain it now and will not
Some die in misery while others live in joy
Whatever the situation God is with the saint

We were sent here for a purpose
We must glorify Him in our new domain
This is why He has given us dominion and
More important we have His Name which is all that we need
Let us love one another as Jesus has loved us
He was also a foreign in this land and
He brought His Father’s Kingdom to planet earth
Let us do the same—this brings God Glory

Like a black widow our weapon is in our mouth

The Blood at Calvary represents the crown of life
Jesus lives FOREVER MORE
Repetitive thoughts are thrown
He that moans and groans will not get very far
A horned lizard can spray an intruder with blood
Therefore, you forget that we can pray--
Like a black widow our weapon is in our mouth and
Our faith is in Jesus Christ--
We do not live by sight but by faith
Our weapon is in Jesus Christ and spoken through our mouth

You need to learn from nature
Because as a creature of time
Your foolishness will not last
Therefore, when you try to act like a lion
Remember the impact of Zion

Our weapon is in Christ and is spoken through our mouth
Therefore, you forget that we can pray and
Whatever we ask according to His will
It will be done in honour of His Kingdom
The Blood represents the crown of life
The Name of Jesus is Eternal
You need to learn from nature
Because as a creature of time
Your foolishness will not last
Therefore, when you try to act like a lion
Remember the impact of Zion

Praying the Ageless Purpose of God

The Government of Heaven operates on earth
We contact our Headquarters in order to bring the WILL of God to earth
We have His NAME and we simply spread HIS FAME
Through prayer we mirror the Ageless plan of God
We prayer that His Kingdom will expand on planet earth

Prayer has being a companion of mine for a very long time
There are days I pray without saying anything
My conduct becomes prayer
The way I eat becomes prayer
When I sleep becomes prayer
We serve a God that hears prayers and
Not only hears but answers prayer at the right time

Calling on the Name of the Lord is good
Our citizenship is in Heaven so we have to
Understand our legal rights as children of God
The Name of Jesus sanctifies our prayers

The prayers of all saints are a perpetual
Force against all the powers of darkness
Therefore we should not divorce ourselves from God
But enforce our position in order to
Understand the simplicity of prayer
Prayer has a wonderful story
Thus, miracles are God’s ways of acting,
At times, we need to retract ourselves
Into a corner because there is glory in
Being a ‘’mourner’’ especially if
We are torn apart in a particular situation

The power of prayer lies not in how much we pray but
How much of our prayers are in agreement with His will

Today prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time—
Many prayers in a prayer meeting are not genuine
When some pray, they give the impression that
Some man should hear and be impressed by that pray
Prayer is not preaching; we want God to hear our prayer
In a prayer meeting, praying short prayers and genuinely
Should be the norm for the progression of a meeting

The Bible’s prayers are predominantly short
This will be a good pattern to follow
Many prayer meetings today are almost powerless
There are too many topics being prayed about and
The one accord found in Matthew 18 is nonexistent—
Ten out of ten prayer meetings are ruined by long prayers
They are not direct and many play around with words
As a result these prayers are empty and use up unnecessary time

The Government of Heaven operates on earth
We contact our Headquarters in order to bring the WILL of God to earth
We have His NAME and we simply spread HIS FAME
Through prayer we mirror the Ageless plan of God
We prayer that His Kingdom will expand on planet earth

When our red sea does not open

Sometimes things don’t happen on time
Sometimes we don’t see what we want to see
Sometimes we fall down and it’s hard to get up

This season of maturity is the essence of life
Growth with the Lord is important and
The destruction of our ‘own way’ is needed--
God delivers His people at the right time
Because the right time indicates the
The purpose of His original plan

Sometimes our red sea does not open and
Sometimes we want to give up but we
Must know that God does things
According to His ‘Will’,
His way is pure and so we
Should dare to continue to follow God
When our red sea does not open

Tranquillity is good but
Purity at heart is even better
Being real to oneself is the
Letter of the heart and dealing with
Uncertainty is fulfilling your part
Therefore, there are no surprises when
The art of life displays the tales of the crypt!

At times we will face things that
Look final but it is only the beginning
We lose many things in life because
We declare them dead prematurely
We are all faced with a series of great opportunities
Brilliantly disguised as impossible situations

God delivers His people at the right time
Because the right time indicates the
The purpose of His original plan

The Kingdom of God is Indestructible

The Kingdom of God is UNSTOPABLE
No one panics in the Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God is the Most Stable Entity

One man with God is a majority
So let us stand on the Word of God
The Lord's kingdom will stand for ever
We were victorious before the foundations of the world
The letter to the Ephesians declares this wonderful truth
We know that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ's
This is what the Word of the Lord declares in the book of Romans

We are in the kingdom that will never be destroyed
Let us rejoice and be glad
The name of the Lord Jesus Christ is victorious
His name is above all names
The kingdom of God is alive and well on planet earth
It is advancing and people are coming into His kingdom
God is the source of creativity
Therefore no matter what problem we are facing
The solution is found in Christ Jesus
God has given us His promises and we are thankful
The kingdom of God is alive and well on planet
There is darkness but this darkness cannot destroy the kingdom of God
Our joy lies in Jesus; our purpose lies in the kingdom

The Lord's kingdom is eternal
Jesus came to restore the reality of the kingdom of heaven on earth
He left His Father’s estate and
Fulfilled His Father’s plan to redeem the world from (of) sin
He was given the Kingdom (authority—book of Daniel) and
Gave the disciples (us) the Kingdom (Luke 22)
Jesus brought restoration—that was foreshadowed in the Old Testament

God is actively involved in this planet
The Kingdom of darkness is destroyed by the Light of Jesus
The Indestructible Kingdom is practical and real
The Indestructible Kingdom is progressing
The Indestructible Kingdom achieves the impossible
Jesus is the King of this Indestructible Kingdom

The Government of God is practical and real
The Government of God is unstoppable
The Government of God achieves the impossible
Jesus is the King of our Government

Nothing is insignificant
God can make something big out of something small
Our gifts no matter how small can be used by God
We must bring it and use it; we step out by faith
We need to plant what we have and God will do a work

The kingdom of God is the key to life
Doing what we were born to do is the glory of life
Preaching what we were born to preach is the beauty of truth
Therefore, we should stay and do what is expected of us
We should use our talents for His Kingdom

Let us not be saddened by small gifts because
God simple wants to show us what He can do with these gifts
Nothing is insignificant because God is the giver of that gift

The kingdom of God is the key to life
Doing what we were born to do is the glory of life
Preaching what we were born to preach is the beauty of truth
Therefore, we should stay and do what is expected of us
We should use our talents for His Kingdom

However they will understand their purpose--
They are well aware that they will be called funny names
But they also know that Jesus was also called some ‘strange names”

Today Christians are scared to stand alone but we must
Remember that we will stand alone before God—
Jeremiah had to stand alone but
God gave him a life with purpose and passion
His life was before the Throne of God so
Let us not moan when we find ourselves alone

The Lord has a clean-up team in the 21st century
The Lord has a clean-up team in 2010
This clean-up team will preach what people need to hear
This clean-up team will preach what God wants them to preach
This clean-up team will not preach so that their pockets can be filled

Jeremiah preached exactly what God commanded him to preach
Jeremiah did not alter the message to please people—
The false prophets preached what the people wanted to hear but
Jeremiah preached what they needed to hear

Today Christians are scared to stand alone but we must

Walking with Jesus in a Crisis

Walking with Jesus in a Crisis expands the mind
The Word of God transforms the mind
It teaches a man that he should not live by emotions
In a Crisis Jesus show us the beauty of TRUTH

I shall explore the boundaries of time
Because love is always knocking
My discipline increases and
The value of knowledge is like gold,
In the worst hour, life will ask me to be bold
I am neglected yet perfected by time
This event cannot rob me of my prime and so upon
My life of purpose I shall value each living breath

The world will see me and wonder how
Could I live with ‘thunder’ all around me but
The human spirit cannot be destroyed by a crisis
Because when a man dies others want to live!

There is always hope in order to cope
There is always hope in order to cope
Day after day there is hope inside my heart,
When I'm anticipating a new start
I'm lifting up my hands to the sky
Because I'm about to try...
I can live with the hope of tomorrow
Because I know there is no sorrow--
Like the wind on the wings of a sparrow
I could fly in the sky...
I can rejoice because I have victory
And I have made history by avoiding my misery

I can now live with the hope of tomorrow
Because I know their is no sorrow,
Like the wind on the wings of a sparrow
I can fly, when I don't have to cry
And so I will wait for that day...
Thank God for this ray of hope
In order to cope

My life has changed
Now it's time to re-arrange the product of uncertainty
Because Jesus Christ is the bond of Unity.

Jesus will help you raise the baby woman of Zion
Young lady soon you will have a baby
Maybe it is time you reconsider
The reason for your season—
That man was interested in ‘one thing’
However, Christ is interested in your life
You should have no time for abortion
Because this portion of your life was given to you
So pursue the truth
You might be a young lady but with
Jesus you will be a daughter of Zion

Jesus is concerned about your life
You might fear that you don’t have any money but
Jesus will be like honey to you so
It is time that you reconsider
The reason for your season
Young lady soon you will have a baby
Call on the Lord and He will
Help you raise the baby Lady of Zion

At the Right Place because of His Grace

A man once said,” There is perhaps nothing worse than reaching the top
of the ladder and discovering that you are at the wrong wall.”
This is the dilemma that many face in the 21st century
They received grace but embraced the wrong purpose
They worked in order to be ‘someone’ for God but did
Not take the time to discern and study the words about the last day
They have a passion for God but pure love is different from passion
Because passion is simply a strong emotion that at times
Could be used to promote your own purpose—
They stepped out fairly quickly without proper training and
They did not realize that one of the reasons why the disciples
Were asked to preach the Gospel was because they were
Trained for three years by Jesus
Therefore let us always give God praise through Jesus Christ
That we can be at the right wall and let us thank Him that even
If we fall He is there to catch us because He cares

Whenever one door closes, another one opens
I am thrown to the floor
Filled with anger
The stress reflects the mess so the
Test is the best antidote towards decay
As I pray I discover that when one door closes
Another one opens—
Revelation beckons
Thus, the future reckons itself in Jesus name

I need to sit in the closet so that
I can learn the value of darkness
Light is always willing to shine so
How can I decline the offer of a closed door
If its aim is to bring me to the floor
What more is there to say except
He or She that prays will discover that
Whenever one door closes, another one opens—
Revelation beckons
Thus, the future reckons itself in Jesus name

The floor becomes the cure as
Your heart becomes pure
Now it is time to endure
Thus, there is no problem
When I am thrown to floor
I thank the Lord for prayer

Male and Female are both equal
Genesis 1:26

Women have great potential
This matter is certainly not inconsequential,
Male and female is both equal
No wonder a woman is a man’s sequel
Too many women get their identities
From men and not from God
Thus, a man can devalue a woman
When he has no idea about the plan of God!
A woman’s place is in God
Revealing a smiling face, she is filled with grace
Women must be given their proper place because
A women is God’s idea
Therefore, it is improper to only think of
A woman in the area of a sexual purpose
This is a tough aspect but the
Son can transform a man’s mind when he is blind
Most men would only like a woman in the home
I am glad that Eve was in the garden and not the house
The spouse of a man is his centre and
God is their mentor and so today
Paul’s words must be understood in context!

Don’t despise the day of small things
Zechariah 4:1

Do not despise the day of small things
Don’t be surprised by the
Destruction of a church because
It is good to rebuild certain things!
That which is big
Usually must be broken down and
That which is small must usually be built up,
This is a principle of life and should
Not take you by surprise
Therefore, never despise the day of small things
Whether it is a small house or small car or
A small pay-cheque…
Small things represent the day of recovery
He that prays must give praise for small things
Today is the time of Christ endurance
We have the assurance that if you are faithful with little
You will be faithful with ‘much’
Some might have little power but
He or She that continues to endower himself with
Love and mercy will discover the beauty of
The Lord and His glorious Name
That makes us victorious
Therefore, let us not despise the day of
Small things because the Lord will use it

Marriage
Ephesians 5:21-23, 25, 31-32
Marriage
The wonder of courage
Built on trust,
God in a marriage is necessary…
Living together as husband and wife
They Work together as a team and
Present intimacy in its highest form
Born different but are now one in spirit and flesh
Nothing less, except two
People who are the best,
At night they can rest while
Their relationship symbolizes perfection
Beauty is revealed
Nothing is concealed in marriage and
The wonder of courage is displayed
Marriage is a wonder
Two people creating thunder
Therefore, this is a reminder,
The principle God gave marriage is based on ‘respect’ so
When you elect a husband or a wife
God in a marriage is life
Mark Frank

Even though your marriage seems broken
Psalm 18:6
When your days get lonely and
Your nights get cold
When the rain starts pouring and
Your husband is not at home
It is time you pick yourself up and
Call upon the Lord Jesus…
When your husband ‘walks out’ the door
It is time you bow your knee to the floor
Then you can be sure
That God will bring a cure that
Will make your life ‘pure’
Your pain is real but
You were born with a great ‘seal’ and so
Even though your marriage seems broken
You must not lose your focus and
Start jumping around like a locust
When your man walks to another ‘woman’
It is time you talk to another ‘man’
His name is the Lord Jesus Christ

Many disregard Kingdom Teaching

Rev 1:5-6: ....Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the
ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins
in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him
be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Malachi 3:17a: “They shall be mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I make
them my jewels.”


Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
He preached relationship and not religion
Religion wants to put us into a specific ‘hold’ and keep us there
The religious church is divided into two major
Categories, one labelled ‘clergy’ and one labelled ‘laity’
The clergy referred to ‘fulltime ministers’ who
Generally performed all the spiritual duties of the church
Everyone else was referred to as laity
But God has pulled many out (and is still pulling) of this religious ‘hold’
Religion cannot save man—the Blood of Jesus does

We are a kingdom of kings and priest
We are peculiar people designed for a Kingdom purpose
We are His Governmental Agents on earth to bring Him Glory!
Every aspect of our life is to be the domain of God

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today
The religious church wants to hang on until Jesus comes back so
Many disregard Kingdom Teaching because they think it is not for now
The religious church believes the Kingdom is for Heaven

Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
He preached relationship and not religion

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today
The religious church wants to hang on until Jesus comes back but
We are a kingdom of kings and priest
We are peculiar people designed for a Kingdom purpose
We are His Governmental Agents on earth to bring Him Glory!
Every aspect of our life is to be the domain of God

There is a Divine Wedding in the future

The Church stands at the center of God’s purpose
Jesus will have His Bride in the future
He died on Calvary and He rose AGAIN

There is a Divine Wedding in the future and
Nothing can stop this Wedding
The beauty of the Bride can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
The Bride of Christ is Everlasting

The Bride was before the beginning
The Bride was with him only in thought but now
The Bride is displayed on earth as the ecclesia (church)—
Soon she will get married

There is a Divine Wedding in the future and
Nothing can stop this Wedding
The beauty of the Bride can never be destroyed
She belongs to Him and she will never
Be snatched out of His Hands—
The Bride of Christ is Everlasting

The Bride stands at the center of God’s purpose
Jesus will have His Bride in the future
Jesus Christ died on Calvary and He rose AGAIN

The day draws near
The ecclesia should not fear—
He holds dear His future Bride because
She is His Eternal Love

The Heavenly Father has given His Son an Eternal Bride
She is the Bride of Christ

The world cannot get rid of the followers of Jesus Christ

Jesus wasn’t afraid to confront his enemies
His enemies fell threatened by his life and his words
His enemies believed that people are saved by the law
However, Jesus lived a life filled with grace
He was a man who was strong enough to
Meet his enemies head-on but he was also a man that
Would not resist the pleas of the needy or the broken-hearted

His enemies thought his work was from demons
They accused Jesus of being possessed
They were threatened by a Carpenter’s son
They feared his thinking and teachings
Jesus claimed to be more than a prophet
He put himself on equal footing with God

The enemies of Jesus had only one thing on their mind
They wanted to find a way to kill him and so
Today we are not surprise when we sense and know
That people want to get rid of us as well
They want to get rid of where we work
Some might want us out of the church
Some don’t want to be friends with us

The reality is that the world can’t get
Rid of the followers of Jesus Christ,
The intensity to get rid of us has increased
But we are glad that the Lord God Almighty is a
Shield for us; He is our Glory and the lifter of our heads

Our Saviour faced the critics head-on
It is not easy but with God on our side
We know that victory belongs to the Bride

What they said of Jesus, they will also say of us!

The bride of Jesus and the bride of Adam

Ephesians 5:21-33

Adam was created and communed (fellowshipped)
With God before having a wife
Jesus was with the Father
From the beginning and also had no wife
Jesus loves the church (Bride/Wife) and gave himself for her

Created for Christ, the bride has made it
Nothing can fade it--She is the love of the Lord

God formed a wife for Adam from Adam's body
God is forming a wife for Christ Jesus from His Body

With anticipation the return of Christ comes
Ignoring any form of hesitation
The bride reveals the Glory of One Man (her Husband)
The bride has been washed by the blood of the lamb
This is why we smash the enemy in Jesus Name

God formed a wife for Adam from Adam's body
God is forming a wife for Christ Jesus from His Body

Jesus reveals the remedy of life
The enemy is crushed so it will be
Good if you rush your life to Jesus

God formed a wife for Adam from Adam's body
God is forming a wife for Christ Jesus from His Body

Forget about the diseases of your mind because
The bride of Christ is one of a kind!
Sound your intention
You were created for Christ
Live for God because you are part of the Bride

God formed a wife for Adam from Adam's body
God is forming a wife for Christ Jesus from His Body


Created for Christ, the bride has made it
Nothing can fade it--She is the love of the Lord


We are now walking with our future Husband
But soon we will marry our Husband

What a precious day

The whole earth belongs to JESUS

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Matthew 28:18

The Kingdom of God came to earth in order to transform
The Kingdom of God changes a man’s life
The Kingdom of God expresses the mind of the King of Kings

The whole earth belongs to JESUS
No matter where we are...it is his territory
We should not fear if we are in a foreign land
We neither should nor fear if we are at ‘work’ [job]

God’s Kingdom is not here to coexist with the world
It will affect the world and transform hearts on this planet—
We must carry the culture of Heaven daily
So that men and women may see the beauty of our Government
We should impact our environment and conform it to the principles of Heaven
The Holy Spirit is the Helper and the power of God

The whole earth belongs to JESUS
No matter where we are...it is his territory
We should not fear if we are in a foreign land
We neither should nor fear if we are at ‘work’ [job]

God’s Kingdom is not here to coexist with the world
God’s Kingdom shatters the darkness and
Expresses the thought of the King of Kings
So that the policies of our Government may be implemented
We should impact our environment and conform it to the principles of Heaven
The Holy Spirit is the Helper and the power of God

The whole earth belongs to JESUS
No matter where we are...it is his territory
We should not fear if we are in a foreign land
We neither should nor fear if we are at ‘work’ [job]

Praying the Psalms Calms me down

You are a shield for me
I lie down and sleep and
You are the One that keeps me

Praying the palms calms me down
Praying the way David prayed helps my soul…
Praying with an anointing
Shows me my purpose so
I am grateful for the psalms
Because it calms me down

God wants a change
So I declare his way while praying the psalms

Prayer in the Name of Jesus is my key
Jesus is the one that set me free
On my knees I pray the psalms
Disarming an empire because that fool is a liar

Facing an empire
I depend on God’s fire
I face the liar half of my day
But I thank the Lord that I can pray

You are a shield for me
I lie down and sleep and
You are the One that keeps me

The King of the Universe

Jesus was a Jew living within the Roman Empire
But he also owned the territory of Rome
Because His Father is the King of the Universe
Other kingdoms are allowed to survive because
Within the different kingdoms Jesus is drawing out His Citizens

No empire will outsmart the Umpire of life
God the Father is Sovereign and when
It is time for another kingdom to be shut down—
Our Heavenly Father will shut it down
The citizens of Heaven are in different countries and
God is pulling them out and showing them their true identity
God has given everyone citizenship but not all accept it

Today empires believe that they can outsmart the Umpire of life
But God the Father has sent another Kingdom and
It is the Kingdom of Jesus that will last forever –
The system of this world is defeated

No empire will outsmart the Umpire of life
God the Father is Sovereign—
He loves the different empires and
He offers salvation to all empires
This is the heart of God seen in all His splendour
God is love and nothing will stop His Plan

Jesus was a Jew living within the Roman Empire
But he also owned the territory of Rome
Because His Father is the King of the Universe

Let us not fear any empire.

Unstoppable, incredible, Unshakable

1 Corinthians 15:24

“Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.”
"This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14)

Unstoppable, incredible, Unshakable
We are talking about the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
The kingdom is invincible—
We have got no time for arrogance
We move by simplicity—
Jesus Christ is Lord and the King of the universe

God’s Name can never be shattered
God’s fame can never be destroyed
He is the one that SAVES
He is the one that FORGIVE sins
He is Unstoppable, incredible, and Unshakable

The future cannot stop the Kingdom of Jesus
That is not arrogance—that is simplicity
The Lord’s word stands forever
It is simply Unstoppable, incredible, and Unshakable

Many in the past have tried to stop the Kingdom of Jesus
They have discovered that when God speaks, it is settled
Jesus is the Kingdom Man
He has all authority in Heaven and on Earth
In Daniel 7:13-14, He was given authority, glory and sovereign power!
He is the MAN that cannot be destroyed

The Kingdom is everlasting
The saints of the Kingdom are moving actively
They are flowing with the King’s command and
Working by the power of the Holy Spirit
God is actively involved in this planet
The Kingdom of darkness is destroyed by the Light of Jesus
The Indestructible Kingdom is practical and real
The Indestructible Kingdom is progressing
The Indestructible Kingdom achieves the impossible
Jesus is the King of this Indestructible Kingdom

No other leader came back from the dead

The resurrection of Jesus is mentioned
More than a hundred times in New Testament
The resurrection represents the LOVE of GOD the FATHER

The tomb was empty
The absence of Jesus’ body
Presented His enemies with a problem—
No corpse could be found
Jesus of Nazareth rose from the Dead

The death of Jesus was a common way to die in Rome
Many criminals and escaped slaves were
Executed in this barbaric and public manner (the Cross)
However, none of these criminals came back from the dead
Jesus was not a criminal—He was the Saviour of the world

The death of Jesus is unique because of His Resurrection
No other leader came back from the dead and
We as citizens of Heaven rose up with Him
We are seated with Him in Heavenly Places and
We live our life in His Resurrection Power

Many are trying to discredit the Resurrection because that
Aspect of His life makes Him Unique—
The Resurrection makes all the difference in our lives
We can now overcome any situation because of His Power
Jesus has given us the same power to live this life on earth so that
When we go through the same stuff that many people will go through—
We will come through it because of His Resurrection Power

Jesus atoned for our sins on the Cross
Many thought that He would remain in the Tomb
Many thought that His Name would just pass by but
God raised Him from the grave

The tomb was empty
The absence of Jesus’ body
Presented His enemies with a problem—
No corpse could be found
Jesus of Nazareth rose from the Dead

The Rock Destroys the Empire

We lift up my eyes to the Lord
Because our help comes from Him and
Therefore, the impossibilities will be removed
When a man and his God confront an empire

The Rock destroys the empire
The Fire of God is our Key
We will not be afraid of those
Who stand up against us

Men abuse men and
So we declare your glory
In the midst of our enemy
Most men don’t understand your story
But we thank you for the History of the Cross
At times there is fear
But when you come near
Our tears turn to joy

Thank you Jesus that
We can challenge an empire
Because of your fire
We have one desire
’Your Name must be lifted up
In the midst of this empire’
Your fire is the glory of our lives

We lift up my eyes to the Lord
Because our help comes from Him and
Therefore, the impossibilities will be removed
When a man and his God confront an empire

The Lord’s purpose will stand

Jesus is the MAN that cannot be destroyed

“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.” Isaiah 14:24
“But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalms 33:11

The Lord’s Kingdom moves through the earth
The saints express His Kingdom on earth
Our prayers reflect the Kingdom message of Jesus and
Our position as ambassadors reflect our status in the Kingdom

We live by the Word of God because it is settled
The purposes of God stand firm and endure through all generations
Our problems cannot destroy the Word of God
Our moods cannot destroy the Word of God
Our enemy cannot destroy the Word of God
Nothing can destroy the Word of God—
Jesus is the Kingdom Man—the man of the Kingdom
He has all authority in Heaven and on Earth
In Daniel 7:13-14, He was given authority, glory and sovereign power!
He is the MAN that cannot be destroyed

Our Kingdom constitution is unchanging and unchangeable
The Bible is the constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven
It is the expressed will of our King—it stands forever
The constitution gives us legal rights as citizens of Heaven
So that we can mature here on earth—
The Lord’s Kingdom moves through the earth
The saints express His Kingdom on earth
Our prayers reflect the Kingdom message of Jesus and
Our position as ambassadors reflect our status in the Kingdom

God fulfils His Purpose

Amen.

No misery is too deep for God to relieve


Pray and lay the story to rest
The test is needed and you will be completed
The dark cloud draws us away from the crowd
In order to stand before Him as we discover
The romance of the glory of Christ Jesus

He can subdue all things
No misery is too deep for God to relieve
Saints must believe He can

We can talk with Him and we can sing to Him
We can find a way through the mess
We might not understand the test
But we know that Jesus is the best

You are God's flower,
Shower your heart with His word;
Touch the 'soul' of heaven and you
Will learn a 'sacred' lesson!

Prayer has a wonderful story
The prayers of all saints are
A perpetual force against all the powers of darkness
Therefore, do not divorce yourself from God
But enforce your position in order to
Understand the simplicity of prayer
The dark cloud draws us away from the crowd
In order to stand before Him as we discover
The romance of the glory of Christ Jesus

You are God’s flower

This generation calls for it

The Bible is full of bold people doing bold acts of faith for God
We are thankful for all the bold people—
They are impacting this generation for Jesus Christ
God is empowering them with the Holy Spirit
They are not interested in human bravado
But they are only interested in lifting up the Name of Jesus

We thank God that the person who is reading
This poem is a bold person through Jesus Christ our Lord and
We are glad that God will do a great thing through that person’s life
So that His Kingdom can be maximized and transform other lives on this planet

The Bible is full of bold people doing bold acts of faith for God
We need to be bold—this generation calls for it
The battle is the Lord’s but the Boldness is ours through Jesus Christ our Lord
Let’s continue to ask for the boldness of the Holy Spirit
You are the next Bold Person
Amen.

Your house might be central to the Gospel

Your house might be central to the Gospel [and it is]
Who would have thought that Bethlehem
Would be central to the Gospel?
So never discount your house

The Grace of the Lord is central to our lives
The gift of mercy should be seen in the place where we live
Our geographical territory should be a colony of Heaven

The area of Philippi was a good base for the Gospel
Paul wrote this letter to the Philippians during his first imprisonment
Philippi was the key of some important battles in the past
Mark Anthony beat Brutus and Cassius at Philippi
Anthony and Cleopatra were killed and defeated at Philippi

This city was important to Rome but more important
The Lord owned this city and Paul was to extended
The Kingdom of Heaven in Philippi because it was
A gateway to Europe and therefore
It was important to the Kingdom of God

Here lies an important principle
Our city, territory, house, work place etc
Should become a Colony of Heaven
The Word of the Lord says,
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it” Psalm 24:1

Your house might be central to the Gospel
So give God praise for your territory even
If there have been many battles in your territory
Your territory is a gateway for Heaven

The Grace of the Lord is central to our lives
The gift of mercy should be seen in the place where we live
Our geographical territory should be a colony of Heaven

Your house might be central to the Gospel[and it is]
Who would have thought that Bethlehem
Would be central to the Gospel?
So never discount your house

The Spider Principle

Spiders are found in a rich man’s house and a poor man’s house
“Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all.” Proverbs 22:2
Like spiders the Body of Christ will be found everywhere and
In our dwelling, we will cast the beauty and love of Jesus Christ
The rich and the poor will meet together in Christ Jesus—
The beauty of a spider comes from within
Our beauty as the Body of Christ comes from Our Heavenly Father

Spiders cannot see well, they sense movement
We as the Body of Christ live through the eyes of the Holy Spirit
Spiders have oil so that they will not be stuck when they walk on the web
We as the Body of Christ have the oil of the Holy Spirit (Anointing)
So that we will not get stuck in life but move forward

Spiders have venom in their mouths
We as the Body of Christ have the Word of God in our mouths
We speak it and destroy our enemy
The Word is Alive and Active—
The beauty of a spider comes from within
Our beauty as the Body of Christ comes from Jesus Christ

The Glorious Splendour of your kingdom

"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand." (in your midst) Mark 1:14-15
“…your saints will extol you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might…” Psalm 145:10-13

The time had come for God’s Kingdom to resurface
Because it was always in the mind of God
Therefore God sent His Son at the right ‘time’ (Galatians 4:4)
His disciples would ‘soon’ receive the Holy Spirit and
The Holy Spirit would enable those (adopted sons) to
Live the expression of the ‘Kingdom’

People enter God's kingdom by accepting his rule (purpose),
Not by moving to a new territory because earth is our legal domain (Genesis 1:26-27)
People enter God's kingdom by being born again—they accept his rule in their lives
They accept Jesus as their King, and he reigns over them (administers His mind to them)
The kingdom is both present and future--The kingdom is already in existence
But not yet visible in its fullness on this planet

“Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.” Roman 1:1

The Gospel of God is simply God’s original purpose for man and
God’s original purpose for man is seen Genesis chapter 1:26-27

We thank God for the Holy Spirit who makes the Kingdom life possible
In Christ we are strengthened for a life that was given to us before
The foundation of the world in order to extol His Name! (Ephesians 1)

To somebody you may just be the world

“To the world you may be just somebody but to somebody you may just be the world”

Love is a certainty that can never be destroyed
Love conquers—love is victorious
As we walk through this world
We must remember that we are very precious to someone—
Let the world think of us as they like but
They can never rob us of the love of Jesus
God is love and so we should not shove our purpose away
From our destiny because the Bride is central to His Name
The wedding day draws near
Now is not the time to fear so
Let us stand and know that love conquers
Love is victorious and love remains

Love is a certainty that can never be destroyed
“To the world you may be just somebody but to somebody you may just be the world”

The life we receive should not only
Be evident in good conditions
But in all circumstances
Therefore, family situations should
Not hinder a true believe

Work conditions should not hinder a believe
Sex should not hinder a true believe

In the midst of all these conditions
We can walk and talk with God

If the enemy tries to act like a ‘shark’
You do not have to bark at him,
Just remain in the ark of God and you
Will see the beauty of the Lord as you witness
The work of the Trinity and so the life
We receive is not only to be evident
In good conditions but in all circumstances

Therefore, display the right attitude
In every situation because you are in Christ

Jesus is the problem solver

Jesus is the way
Stars only shine at night so
Let us not decline the method of a problem

The Church should know about a foolish thought
What brought me to this conclusion?
Simplicity was the window
As I opened it, I discovered life…
The Church has always being
A Church of problems and
Not a Church without problems!

Days after Pentecost—
We see the problem of Ananias and Sapphira
Then after that, we see the problem of the widows,
Soon after that, Stephen is martyred and
Peter is thrown into prison
Therefore, the History of the Church from the beginning is
One of problems but we shall endure because
Jesus is Our Centre and our Great Defender

Problems bring out hidden potential
So that we can solve certain issues,
Stars only come out at night—
The Church has a way and
His name is Jesus Christ


A foolish thought exist amongst us—
Thinking as Christians or the Church
We should not have problems but
We will have problems because Jesus is
The problem solver…

He is the Prince of Peace

Follow the example of the kettle
Part 1
When you are extremely angry or you have a problem
Follow the example of the kettle
Sing and bring your heart to him—
Problems are part of life
However, the art of persistence is seen
When a man or woman can sing in difficulty

When you boil in anger
Do not be a stranger to God,
Joy is around the corner so
If you are a mourner for a while
It will clearly teach you the appreciation of a moment…
When the problems pile up
You need to erupt with a song and
Follow the example of the kettle
Sing and bring your heart to Him

Solutions are part of life
However, finding them will be revealed
When a man or woman
Can sing in difficulty

The constitution gives us legal rights as citizens of Heaven
We therefore must know our constitution because our constitution guarantees out life
Our constitution guarantees our family

It guarantees our marriage
It guarantees our purpose
It guarantees our healing
It guarantees our finance
It guarantees our position with God

In a democratic country the people decide what they want but
In a Kingdom, the people have no say,
The King decides everything

Let us therefore treasure our constitution because our document is a living word
Let us also adhere to our constitution because our God gave us the
Constitution because of His Great love so that we could benefit as
Citizens of Heaven on earth and maximise His wonderful Name

Our constitution is eternal

Know your constitution!!!

When Jesus Talks Nature Listens

When Jesus Talks, Nature Listens
If nature listens
How much more should we not listen to His Words

Jesus is the miracle working man
We as citizens need Him more than ever
He is the resurrection man and
When He Talks, Nature listens

Today natural disasters is killing many people
We as citizens of Heaven should also speak to nature
We should speak with His Voice and Power
So that lives can also be saved as HE saved lives

Nature clearly does His binding and
No human can shy away from Natural disasters
However, it is good to know that
When Jesus Talks, Nature Listens
If nature listens
How much more should we not listen to His Words

The Body of Christ and the ant

“Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer” Proverbs 30:24-25

Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth
We as the Body of Christ will also colonize every sphere of this planet
The success of ants has been attributed to their social organization
As the Body of Christ our success is only based on Jesus Christ
Ant societies have a division of labour—
The Body of Christ also have a division of Labour

Ants can lift up 20 times their own body weight
They are so tiny but they get their strength from their MAKER
God’s creative beauty is seen in the creation of ants
“The brain of an ant has about 250 000 brain cells.
A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants
Has collectively the same size brain as a human”
As the Body of Christ, we can learn a lot from ants
When we have little strength, we must ask God for wisdom
He is our refuge—He is our Creator

We must not feel totally depleted when we lose our strength
God is wisdom and He will gave us a WORD

Ants have colonised almost every landmass on Earth
We as the Body of Christ will also colonize every sphere of this planet
The success of ants has been attributed to their social organization
As the Body of Christ our success is only based on Jesus Christ

The Superiority of Jesus Christ

"and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church," Ephesians 1:19-22

"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 8:58

Love is the driving force of Jesus
Jesus is the love of the Father
The Father is the expression of the heart of Jesus
No one surpasses Jesus
Jesus is the Name above all Names
Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth

The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead

He now lives in the hearts of His people
So that they can spread the love of His FATHER

The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead

Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth


"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison… who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him." 1 Peter 3:18-19, 22

You need to persist because the battle is nothing new

Do not put a question mark where God puts a full stop
Do not be destroyed by a lack of knowledge
Tension is created through a question but
Truth is confirmed through a full stop

The enemy is not a full stop
He may be a comma
However, the enemy will never be a full stop
Therefore he who angers you
Controls you but he who kneels
Before God can stand before anyone

Consider this
You need to persist because the battle is nothing new
Do not be destroyed by a lack of knowledge
Do not put a question mark where God puts a full stop
Tension is created through a question but
Truth is confirmed through a full stop

The Bible uses a full stop for a particular purpose
So that we might understand that, the Word of the Lord is fixed

With patience we will fight our enemy in the Name of Jesus

Psalm 110:1-3: Jehovah (self existing, eternal one) said to
Adoni (sovereign, ruling, controlling one), “Sit at My right
hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Jehovah shall
send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of
Your enemies! Your people shall be willing (volunteers) in the
day of Your power. In the beauties of holiness, from the womb
of the morning.

With patience we will fight our enemy in the Name of Jesus
The Lord’s timing is perfect and we must wait on the Lord
God knows the best time and His timing will take us to our prime
The beautiful Holy Spirit will live in us and express
The Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Jesus Christ
We represent Christ in the midst of our enemies—
Standing and living the “light” in the darkness

Brokenness is attached to our souls because
With tears we can clearly see the reality of the mission
Jehovah is Eternal and His power is Everlasting—
Mercy is granted to our enemies but when
The season of Victory approaches
We move forward with the Shout of Glory
Revealing the story of the Cross of Calvary
The Holy Spirit electrifies the mission and we
Know that electricity can bless or destroy so
We are grateful for the Lord’s Mercy

We are not worthy and we know that Grace saved us
So we do not boast in downfall of our enemies but we are
Thankful that the Blood of Jesus washed us so
With patience we will fight our enemy in the Name of Jesus
Brokenness is attached to our souls because when we cry
We can clearly see the reality of the mission
The season of Victory approaches
We move forward with the Shout of Glory
Revealing the story of the Cross of Calvary

The beautiful Holy Spirit will live in us and express
The Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Jesus Christ—
With patience we will fight our enemy in the Name of Jesus
The Lord’s timing is perfect and we must wait on the Lord
God knows the best time and His timing will take us to our prime
The beautiful Holy Spirit will live in us and express
The Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Jesus Christ
We represent Christ in the midst of our enemies—
Standing and living the “light” in the darkness

Our Lord knew every kind of attack

"I have become all things to all men, so that by all possible means I might save some." (I Cor. 9:22).

The Lord’s Ecclesia triumphs over its persecutors
Because the Lord is our victory
He set the end before the beginning when
He stated that the gates of hell would not prosper against it

We must be flexible
We must be guided by a principle
Paul was guided by a principle
We must be flexible

The ecclesia (church) of the New Testament times was
A church (ecclesia) in a hostile environment
The Roman government encouraged persecution
Throughout the whole western world, yet
Christianity triumphed and outlived its persecutors
Today the ecclesia is still persecuted but
The Lord Jesus is faithful to His Word

Our Lord knew every kind of attack
That the enemy would use before time began, and
He has provided the means to obtain victory (He is the Victory)
Suffering for the Gospel is nothing new
We must be flexible; we must be guided by a principle

The Lord’s Ecclesia triumphs over its persecutors
Because the Lord is our victory
He set the end before the beginning when
He stated that the gates of hell would not prosper against it

His Saving Acts [God’s sedaqat]

“I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2

God’s sedaqat (righteousness) “means his saving acts in history”
God saved man from utter destruction
He has always acted on behalf of man and
He has always support man because HE LOVES MAN

God’s righteousness is plain for everyone to see
When we call on Heaven’s Government
God will respond—HE is FAITHFUL

The Zeal of the Lord of Host will perform that which is related to the Kingdom
The kingdom of God on earth is the order of God from heaven on earth
The Spirit of Christ within man accomplishes God’s will on earth
We can bring God’s Government into any situation
This is a real privilege and we give God thanks for it—
God’s righteousness is ever active

God’s righteousness is plain for everyone to see
When we call on Heaven’s Government
God will respond—HE is FAITHFUL

God sent HIS SON
Jesus brought Heaven’s Government to earth
What is remarkable is that after He left—
He gave us this Government –
We are to take this Government wherever we go—
We influence the earth with His Government and
We fulfill His Purpose here on earth—
God’s righteousness (saving acts) is ever active

God’s righteousness is plain for everyone to see
When we call on Heaven’s Government
God will respond—HE is FAITHFUL

4 lies a day
“The average person tells 4 lies a day. Or 1460 a year, a total of 88,000 by the age of 60.And the most common lie is "I’m fine and I love you." Love should never be a lie.”

God does not lie
Men and women do lie—
God’s WORD is TRUTH and
Everything HE said will come TRUE

We should not lie to people we love
We should not lie to people—
Honesty is hard to find in church today
Because the clothes we wear, tend to hide the truth of our souls
The smiles we wear can paint a deceptive picture—
When HE finds what he stated in Jeremiah
He will do mighty things like never before
This I’ve seen and it is my continuous prayer that
I maintain this policy until the day I die
Let us do what God declared through Jeremiah
“…If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city” Jeremiah 5:1

The Kingdom of Heaven is all about love so
We must be honest about love
Many marriages are troublesome because
Couples are married but they are not in love
These married couples were never really honest with each other

In this generation God desires those who are honest with Him
David is a wonderful example and one we must imitate
The Supreme Law of the Kingdom of God is found in Matthew 22:37-40
And love is the driving‘force’ of the Kingdom
The Lord told a certain ‘church’ once that it is not good
That they are lukewarm; it would have been better if they were ‘hot or cold’
Honesty with the Lord keeps you from becoming lukewarm

God does not lie
Men and women do lie—
God’s WORD is TRUTH and
Everything HE said will come TRUE

The giant is an OPPORTUNITY

A giant is bound to come your way
It can be faced because of Jesus Christ—
HIS POWER will overcome the giant

The giant seems like a barrier but
It is an OPPRTUNITY so that your gift can expand
God’s purpose will overcome a giant—
We must stand and believe

There are many giants that people will face
The Kingdom of God destroys all of them--
The giant is an OPPORTUNITY so
Let us stand and face it with whatever we have

The Blood, the Testimony, the Victory

Revelation 12:11: “And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives to the death.” Rev.12:11

Sin is at the root of everything and so we must repent!
How we see God, ourselves, and
Our problems make the difference
The blood of Jesus cleanses us so
No flood of evil can prevent His Glory in our lives
Jesus is the ruler of everything
His name secures everything and
So we call upon His Holy Name

The Greek word for overcome is “nikao” (nik-ah’-o)
It means to get “the victory or subdue”
Jesus is the victory and He is the evidence of God’s Glory
His Name will shatter any fool and the Scriptures state that
Everybody will bow to His Name—His Name is Holy, Holy, Holy

We are overcomers but sometimes we don’t feel like overcomers
Nevertheless our Heavenly Father must give us ‘winter’ because
It is a principle in the existence of man after he ‘fell’
Winter cannot destroy summer no matter how cold it is
Because ‘summer’ will show up after a period after time

The Greek word for overcome is “nikao” (nik-ah’-o)
It means to get “the victory or subdue”
Jesus is the victory and He is the evidence of God’s Glory
His Name will shatter any fool and the Scriptures state that
Everybody will bow to His Name—His Name is Holy, Holy, Holy

Let us keep shouting out the Name of Jesus
Let us keep honouring the Blood of Jesus
Let us keep looking to the Cross
Because it makes all the difference

Psalm 24:1: The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness
thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
