‘Micro-Christianity’—the Kingdom Challenge

‘Micro-Christianity’—the Kingdom Challenge

We are in a time of history when we have so much
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research
Certain things must be learnt and studied but
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour

The only reason why God has allowed different Bible translations is so
That the message can get to everyone ( on their level)—in his mercy
We might not agree with every translation but each of us
Can take the time out to study the context of the verse
In order to get the proper meaning—we live in a great time
We can learn so many truths (keys) of the Gospel

The lack of true biblical literacy on the part of God’s people is alarming
Today people believe in a ‘micro-Christianity’—
Our generation has lost the art of reading—
With this lack we forget that Jesus is the one that was bleeding
We live in a time when our senses are being bombarded
With constant noise and entertainment—the heart goes out to my learners
In their pain I understand their strain and so I pray that Jesus
Will guard their soul because it isn’t easy for our youth—

When people are told they should read their Bibles
Their instincts, correctly, are to begin with Genesis
But they get half way and are confronted by ‘Cain and Abel’
This is not easy reading and so the reader becomes ‘confused’—
The ones who tend to read their Bibles the most, tend also to read them poorly
Just think of all the denominations that are defending their ‘doctrine’

Many just read the ‘good parts’ of the Bible because it suits them
But it will be wise to remember that
A battery is made up of a positive and a negative so
It is imperative that the Bible presents the true negatives of life

We are in a time of history when we have so much
Information about Christianity (the Lord Jesus Christ)
Yet many don’t take the time out to read and research
Certain things must be learnt and studied but
Today we find ourselves in a fast paced life that
Constantly tries to ‘tear’ us away from Our Lord and Saviour

In Kingdom Living Tomorrow Never Dies

2012-02-04T23:55:00.000-08:00

The Kingdom always givesyou a FUTURE

Mistakes cannot remove yourfuture—

The Kingdom of God willrectify your mistakes

The Kingdom will show youwho you are and

It will not allow you to bereligious

Jesus knew moments ofdarkness in his life

We will have moment ofdarkness in our life

Darkness means ‘growth’—

In Garden of GethsemaneJesus realized

The awful type of deaththat he would suffer—

He knew that the physicalpain would be terrible

He would carry our ‘sinswhile he was on that cross’

In the Garden, he prayed tohis Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’(Luke 22:41-46.)

Believers today, at sometime will have periods of spiritual darkness

They will display clouds ofdoubt—

Sometime they willexperience an eclipse

The Bible states, “Surelythe darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even thedarkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ fordarkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12

Many saints never doubtthat God is real

However many saints attimes doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY

Many at times feel that Godis unfair—

They feel that God has notworked in

The way that they hoped orplanned

Jeremiah in the Bible wasconcentrating 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 painand despair—

Our Heavenly FATHERreminded Jeremiah about his job

Jeremiah must help peopleto change—

He must not change and becomelike the people (15:19b)

Jeremiah’s job was going tobe very hard

But God encouraged him—

Jeremiah had doubts— He wassuffering very much

Sometimes we forget whatGod has said to us—

We then need to read itagain—and believe

Our lives may be hard

But we must trust in hispromises—

They do not change (Read 1Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)

AT times you may not besure that prayer is worthwhile—

But you must still pray andlay it before him—[even in anger]

Even at his worst times,Jeremiah continued to pray—

Sometimes it seemed that heonly complained to God

But he continued topray—nothing stopped him

(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15;17:14 and 20:7-12)

Jeremiah prayed clearly andin an honest way

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is not for today

2012-01-12T09:48:00.000-08:00

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 wholoved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His Godand Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Malachi 3:17a: “Theyshall be mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I make them myjewels.”

Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom

He preached relationship and not religion

Religion wants to put us into a specific ‘hold’ and keep usthere

Thereligious church is divided into two major

Categories, one labelled ‘clergy’and one labelled ‘laity’

Theclergy referred to ‘fulltime ministers’ who

Generallyperformed all the spiritual duties of the church

Everyone else was referred to aslaity

But God has pulled many out (and isstill pulling) of this religious ‘hold’

Religion cannot save man—the Bloodof Jesus does

We are a kingdom of kings and priest

We are peculiar people designed fora Kingdom purpose

We are His Governmental Agents onearth to bring Him Glory!

Every aspect of our life is to bethe domain of God

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is notfor today

The religious church wants to hang on until Jesuscomes back so

Many disregard Kingdom Teaching because they thinkit is not for now

The religious church believes the Kingdom is forHeaven

Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom

He preached relationship and not religion

The religious church thinks that the Kingdom is notfor today

Thereligious church wants to hang on until Jesus comes back but

We are a kingdom of kings andpriest

We are peculiar people designed fora Kingdom purpose

We are His Governmental Agents onearth to bring Him Glory!

Every aspect of our life is to bethe domain of God

Kingdom File 2—An Imperial Church

2012-01-09T09:53:00.000-08:00

Animperial church is a church that is functioning

Within theframework of the Empire of God—

Theekklesia is HOLY and “is a copy and shadow of what is inheaven”

(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 builderslabour in vain” (Ps 127:1)

The Ekklesia makes the invisible EMPIRE visible

Our Heavenly father has made HIS WORD Visible—

Jesus cameas an invisible king,

Representingan invisible power to assume

Thegovernment of a yet invisible empire—

We havethe privilege of making HIS Kingdom VISIBLE—

Love isthe FIRST visible trait that can be made public

AnImperial church functions

Within theFramework of the Empire of God—

She mustcolonizes whatever she touches

HerMajestic 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 builderslabour in vain” (Ps 127:1)

Jesus cameas an invisible king,

Representingan invisible power to assume

The Kingdom vs. playing the Lottery in church with the tithe

2012-01-07T02:27:00.000-08:00

The Old Testament tithe was a tax—not a gift

Today many give to God or the church because

They want more money yet I have seen many

Christians that got nothing in return—

This can simply be due to the fact that

They treat their tithe like playing the lottery

The book of Proverbs warns of a quick fix and

So often, we mix truth with error!

Today if you do not tithe

You will never be in a ministry position!

How foolish that today’s churches

Use the tithe as a law and spit in the face of Grace

Tithing is no sign of Christian devotion

We must give for the right reason so

Let our tithe feed the poor, help the window and

Minister to the heart of God etc

Let us not let our tithe be like the lottery

Because that is a sign of mockery

Today many play the lottery in the church—

We give because we want to not because we have to…

Christian refugees—Kingdom Victory

2012-01-06T00:05:00.000-08:00

Christian refugees—KingdomVictory

paroikos

par'-oy-kos

FromG3844 and G3624; having a home near, that is, (as noun) a by-dweller(alien resident): - foreigner, sojourn, stranger.

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

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

Kingdom Correction

2012-01-04T00:42:00.000-08:00

“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’

Our Mission Far Exceeds a Church building—Kingdom Simplicity

2012-01-03T09:23:00.000-08:00

“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.” Psalm 2:8

The Kingdom of God never stays in the Church

The Kingdom of God travels all over this earth

We must not let a Church building blind us

That is a selfish nature—we are not

The only people that must go to Heaven

So let us not allow the Church building make us selfish!

Jesus didn’t leave the kingdom of God in heaven

He brought it with Him to earth--

At the Last Supper just prior to His crucifixion;

Jesus did something interesting--

Jesus handed over His Kingdom to the disciples

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed to me: that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29-30

Our aim as saints is to affect nations

We are not on earth to build churches

Jesus is the ONE who calls HIS Ecclesia and

As saints we must deliver HIS MIND

The term "Kingdom of Heaven" or "Kingdom of God" is mentioned

Over 100 times in the New Testament alone

Yet most saints or church members today

Don't even talk about the Kingdom, much less understand it

They dismiss it by saying we are in the Church Age—they say

We must wait for Christ to return and set up His Kingdom

The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)

It is God's Government ruling your heart and mind

The Kingdom of God operates in our lives right now

Heaven will support us now; our registration is in Heaven

Our aim as saints is to affect nations

We are not on earth to build churches

Jesus is the ONE who calls HIS Ecclesia and

As saints we must deliver HIS MIND

The WORD of GOD will affect nations

We must deliver the GREAT COMMISSION to the nations

Our mission far exceeds a church building

The Kingdom of God never stays in the Church

The Kingdom of God travels all over this earth

We must not let a Church building blind us

That is a selfish nature—we are not

The only people that must go to Heaven

So let us not allow the Church building make us selfish!

The Truth you may never hear in Church

2011-12-01T10:16:00.001-08:00

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?

Denominations often believe that They know the Lord better than ofters—

2011-06-29T01:03:00.001-07:00

Often there is a problem with brothers and sisters
They believe that they know the Lord better than others—
We see this on Television
We see this in our churches
We see this in our books—
Many boast in the wrong direction and
When the inspection of the Lord takes place,
The truth of one’s character is often revealed

Denominations often believe that
They know the Lord better than ofters—
They use this as a bases for judgement and correction
However many miss the basic principles for intimacy with the Lord
Obedience is the determining factors...including one’s problems

Brothers and sisters should never think that
They are better than the rest because they are not—
Let us all remember this because many who
Thisnk that they are first will be last and many who
Think that they are last will be first

We were saved by the GRACE of GOD
Through JESUS CHRIST our LORD

Often there is a problem with brothers and sisters
They believe that they know the Lord better than others—
This is a mistake and this error should be confronted....

The confusion of a building in 2011

2011-06-04T02:35:00.000-07:00

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
Their own various denominational creeds and brick structures

2011-06-02T03:48:00.000-07:00

"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar." Proverbs 30:5-6

“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is shield for all who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18:30

“And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times.” Psalm12:6

The Bible is without errors but
The critics are not without criticism—
Criticism gets us talking and
We have an opportunity to show them JESUS

Jesus is HOLY HOLY HOLY
The Word of God is Flawless
The Word of God is fulfilled
Jesus is the Eternal Word—the Man from Heaven

What God says—it will be done so
We speak the Word because the Father gave it to us
We study the Keys of the Word[kingdom of God] so that we can
Follow God with reverence and respect as we
Honour this Flawless Word that can never be shattered

Man is an heir of God’s earthly kingdom [through Colonization]
Redeemed man reigns with Christ
The God of man is a Perfect God
He is Yahweh Elohim
He is the Awesome Creator and
He is the helper of man during the centuries
His Word is Eternal

Yahweh’s Word cannot be matched
Elohim governs all creatures—He is the Supreme Ruler
It is therefore a blessing that we
Walk by the name of Yahweh’s Son
We walk by Yahweh’s Word—
Yahweh’s Son is the Glory of truth
His death on the Cross revealed
The heart of Yahweh—who loves man!

Yahweh’s purpose is that man will reign on earth
Yahweh’s Son came to guarantee this purpose on
Earth by bringing the Kingdom of God to earth
Yahweh’s Word cannot be matched—Yahweh’s Word is Flawless
Elohim governs all creatures—He is the Supreme Ruler

Man is an heir of God’s earthly kingdom
Therefore we must treasure the Word of God
Yahweh’s Son revealed the beauty of His Father’s Word and
Yahweh gave us His Son who is Flawless

The Bible is without errors but
The critics are not without criticism—
Criticism gets us talking and
We have an opportunity to show them JESUS

Jesus instructs us to remember—not His birth—but His death

2011-04-15T07:41:00.000-07:00

Jesus was born to DIE
He came to DIE for the SINS of the world—
He brought the Kingdom of God to Earth and
HE showed the HEART of the FATHER

The Bible is silent on the Christian celebration of Jesus' birth
If God the Father wanted His Beloved Son's birth to be honoured
He would have taken special care to ensure that
The Bible contained a directive to do so—
However Jesus instructs us to remember—not His birth—but His death (Luke 22:14-20; I Corinthians 11:23-26)

The coming of the Savior into the world is certainly important
However at birth Jesus was a helpless baby—
It was what He did with His life over the
Next thirty-three years that makes all the difference!

Jesus was born to DIE

Kingdom Termination—on SIGHT (the conspiracies)

2011-04-08T03:22:00.000-07:00

Let us not be afraid of these theories
Let us face them and those who present them...

Conspiracies continually float this planet
The net of deceit tries to devalue the Gospel
As citizens we terminate conspiracies on sight
We do this by the Power of God Almighty through Jesus Christ our Lord

The reworking of the Mary-Jesus conspiracy has surfaced again
The reworking of the Mystical Jesus has surfaced again--
All these theories are getting reworked every four to five years
We must not be afraid of these theories
In the midst of error truth waits to be declared so that
All may know the Glory of the Son
The theory was already seen in the book
Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Therefore, we see the use of Mary Magdalene is a
Strategic measure in order to try to rob
The Bride of its greatest treasure
However, we all know that Jesus Christ was
Not married while He was on earth
Simply because He was aware of His
Coming marriage in Heaven…
Therefore, Jesus singleness was both necessary and proper!

In the midst of error truth waits to be declared so that
All may know the beauty of the Son because
There is no one that can destroy His Glorious Name—
No man will destroy the Bible
No religion will destroy the Son of God

The Word of the Lord stands forever
Conspiracies continually float this planet
The net of deceit tries to devalue the Gospel
As citizens we terminate conspiracies on sight
We do this by the Power of God Almighty through Jesus Christ our Lord

The Kingdom Message inspires, challenges and stretches a man’s thinking

2011-04-04T04:18:00.000-07:00

The Kingdom Message inspires, challenges and stretches a man’s thinking
The Kingdom Message will go against popular secular and
Religious philosophies of the 21st century—
Man needs a NEW GOVERNEMENT—
He needs the GOVERNEMENT of HEAVEN
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed to me: that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29-30

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

The term "Kingdom of Heaven" or "Kingdom of God" is mentioned
Over 100 times in the New Testament alone
Yet most saints or church members today
Don't even talk about the Kingdom, much less understand it!

They dismiss it by saying we are in the Church Age—they say
We must wait for Christ to return and set up His Kingdom
The Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21)
It is God's Government ruling your heart and mind
The Kingdom of God operates in our lives right now
Heaven will support us now; our registration is in Heaven

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 UNSHAKEBLE 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 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
‘My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips” Psalm 89:34

The Kingdom Message inspires, challenges and stretches a man’s thinking
The Kingdom Message will go against popular secular and
Religious philosophies of the 21st century—
Man needs a NEW GOVERNEMENT—

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my father hath appointed to me: that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on seats, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29-30

Let us stand in the name of Jesus and not be afraid of their faces

2011-04-02T06:38:00.001-07:00

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 our heart and spoken through our mouth

God is not silent
The world is deaf
The love of God is shown everyday
However, many cannot see it and so
Love, Justice and Judgment will achieve its goal

The Lord of Host can do that thing that you want done
It will be done because of His Kingdom and His Purpose
We must believe what God has already worked and
We must not doubt our Father who is in Heaven

It is not always easy but we must know that
Jehovah has power enough without borrowing from our puny arm
So let us remain calm in a crisis or a tense situation because
God will certainly do that thing that people say cannot be done

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

God had one intention since the beginning

2011-03-30T00:08:00.001-07:00

All religions pray
Jews pray a number of times a day
Muslims pray five times a day
Members of denominations pray a number of times a day
Everybody is praying but the question is what he or she is saying
God had one intention since the beginning
‘That His Kingdom is extended through man on earth’

The Kingdom of God gives you an opportunity to be!

2011-03-26T07:15:00.000-07:00

"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

The Government of the Hour

2011-03-21T02:47:00.000-07:00

The Kingdom of Heaven is the Government of the Hour
The Kingdom of Heaven has all Power
This hour is the perfect time to reveal
The reflection of Heaven—
Heaven cannot be stopped
Our Government cannot be stopped
We move forward in the name of Jesus
We move forward in His Purpose—
He moves forward and we follow Him

Our Government cannot be stopped
Because He loves, people and He sent
His Son in to the world to save them

The Kingdom of Heaven is the Government of the Hour
The Kingdom of Heaven has all Power
This hour is the perfect time to reveal
The reflection of Heaven—

Stars only come out at night

2011-03-19T01:20:00.001-07:00

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

FEARLESS KINGDOM 2011

2011-03-17T10:41:00.001-07:00

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

Kingdom Faith ADVANCES
Kingdom Faith SAVES
Kingdom Faith destroys religion
“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered.
“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go,
throw yourself in the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes
that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” Mark 11:22-25

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
The Kingdom of God OPERATES by Faith

The Cross, the fool, the result

2011-03-15T08:43:00.001-07:00

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

Doctrine seems to be a FORGOTTEN issue

2011-03-14T10:58:00.000-07:00

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!

Your ‘bark’ is foolish--critic

2011-02-27T06:56:00.000-08:00

Your ‘bark’ is foolish
Have you forgotten that “the amateurs built the ark and
The professionals built the titanic”

Jesus Christ is the Greatest
He is the Alpha and the Omega
So why should we fear you—
You are a fool and you are cruel
Your ‘bark’ is nothing and your
Hypothesis that Jesus isn’t who He
Claims to be was seen all through history
When you curse us, we present a verse from the Bible—
We present a verse straight from the Word of God

You are a fool and you are cruel
Your ‘bark’ is foolish
Have you forgotten that “the amateurs built the ark and
The professionals built the titanic”
Which one captures the most attention?

Your Understanding of Greek is weak
Your mean streak is broken and your
Presentation is crushed by a verse—
You try to speak in innocence but
Your deception is noted and so
A simple verse is quoted from the Bible
“I know that you can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2

Jesus Christ is the Greatest
He is the Alpha and the Omega
So why should we fear you—
You are a fool and you are cruel
Your ‘bark’ is nothing and your
Hypothesis that Jesus isn’t who He

“…O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name
we have come against this vast army…” 2 chronicles 14:11b

JESUS the Unstoppable ONE

2010-12-26T11:59:00.001-08:00

“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

2010-12-22T11:25:00.000-08:00

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,

An Unshakable Kingdom on Earth

2010-10-16T11:27:00.001-07:00

“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

The Superiority of Jesus Christ

2010-10-02T01:14:00.000-07:00

"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

2010-10-01T01:32:00.000-07:00

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

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

2010-09-24T09:22:00.000-07:00

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

2010-09-21T02:05:00.000-07:00

“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

2010-09-16T04:54:00.000-07:00

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

2010-09-14T06:56:00.000-07:00

"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 Cross, the fool, the Result

2010-09-05T11:03:00.000-07:00

Every attempt to weaken Jesus made Him stronger

2010-08-29T07:41:00.000-07:00

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

Deuteronomy 21:23

They forget that the Cross paid for the Crown

2010-08-24T07:36:00.001-07:00

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

2010-08-14T09:27:00.000-07:00

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—

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

Simple Mistakes, Confused Defences and Trinity Perfection

2010-08-08T07:23:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-08T07:20:00.001-07:00

[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

2010-08-07T06:34:00.000-07:00

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)

A Kingdom Prayer

2010-08-05T11:22:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-04T09:37:00.000-07:00

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

2010-08-01T09:05:00.000-07:00

Everybody quotes this verse—it is an easy way out

2010-07-25T00:57:00.000-07:00

“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

2010-07-24T09:32:00.001-07:00

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—

“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

God defends the cause of His Kingdom

2010-06-20T11:00:00.000-07:00

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

2010-06-18T01:40:00.000-07:00

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

Dealing with false teachers in the 21st century

2010-06-13T12:01:00.000-07:00

'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”

2010-06-06T02:00:00.001-07:00

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

The Bible is not an "ecumenical" book

2010-05-18T10:24:00.000-07:00

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

“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

“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

Dikaiosyne(righteousness)

2010-05-08T23:32:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-06T07:33:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-01T11:02:00.000-07:00

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 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

2010-04-28T09:39:00.001-07:00

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

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

2010-04-25T11:44:00.001-07:00

“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

2010-04-24T08:52:00.000-07:00

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

2010-04-23T11:34:00.000-07:00

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
Based on personal revelation…
They forget about the Gospel and what is worse
They add to the Gospel

The Assignment of Jesus

2010-04-22T10:04:00.001-07:00

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

2010-04-22T10:02:00.000-07:00

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.

Jesus— Thy Will Be Done

2010-04-21T09:07:00.001-07:00

Your Purpose is Worthy
Your Kingdom is Eternal and
You are Holy, Holy, Holy—

The gates of hell will not prevail against it

When darkness arises—light comes forth
So that your Purpose is clearly revealed and
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
Nothing can destroy your Name because
You are Holy, Holy, Holy—
Thy Will Be Done and Thy Kingdom Come

Jesus, your Name is Worthy
Jesus, your Purpose is Worthy
Jesus, your Kingdom is Eternal
Jesus, you are Holy, Holy, Holy—
As you gather your Church (Bride)
The gates of hell will not prevail against it
Thy Will Be Done and Thy Kingdom Come
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 Glory is seen on the earth
When darkness arises—light comes forth
So that your Purpose is clearly revealed and
The Glory of Your Name is seen in its practicality
Worthy is the Name of the Lord and you are most worthy of praise

Doctrinal Correction

2010-04-18T03:58:00.000-07:00

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

2010-04-17T10:20:00.001-07:00

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…
