SUMMARY:Truth never dies
DESCRIPTION:2 John 1:2 For the truth’s sake\, which dwelleth {abides} in us\, and shall be with us for ever. \nHistory has been witness to many trying to bury or change the truth\, but always the truth has been revealed or sustained over time\, even if it is years or decades. \nBible says we are saved by faith\, and I have mentioned before that faith means believing in the truth. Thus\, without truth we can not be saved. John 1 says that Christ was the manifestation of truth and truth came by Him. \nIn the Bible\, truth is symbolised by the pomegranate fruit. If one studies it\, as we do with the mustard seed\, one will understand why the Lord demanded it be embroidered on the curtains of the Tabernacle. \nThe mustard seed was chosen not because of its size\, but because it has no gap or pocket of air between its halves. Air symbolises doubt (it is polluted); thus Satan is called the prince of air. Faith is not relevant by size but by purity. So if we have that which is without doubt\, then we have the power to move mountains (do the impossible). \nIf we open a pomegranate\, we will see that each seed/aril is shaped differently and has its own unique place. We cannot even turn it or move it to another place without causing air pockets (doubts). Like all scriptures\, they uniquely connect together. \nThe reason people live in falsehood even after studying the Bible is that they lack the basic principles of Bible study. When I came into the Lord\, the Lord prevented me from joining a Bible college and taught me based on Isaiah 28:9-11. \nWe read that the Israelites/Jews who had/have great knowledge and wisdom (worldly) and also knew/know all the Biblical languages\, unlike us today\, yet they could not/do not recognise Jesus as the Messiah\, as Yahweh. It was not just the OT but even in the NT Paul rebuked the Hebrew-speaking people in a letter written in Greek (Hebrews) that they were infants living on milk and could not consume solid food. \nIn Isaiah 28:13\, we see the Lord said the downfall of the Israelites was because of their stiff-neckedness; therefore\, the Lord did not reveal to them the fourth stage of Bible study (Bible symbolism\, Bible Codes\, Bible Numerics)\, and that became the reason for them not knowing Jesus was the promised Messiah and the Lord who came as man. \nWithout total surrender\, one will never understand the Bible. The Holy Spirit (Spirit of Truth) reveals the Scriptures only to those who self-abnegate. This is the case with all those who preach End Days/Judgment Day is at hand. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Awesome God. There is nothing You cannot do\, yet You hold back many things from people\, for You do not keep precious things in unworthy vessels. Lord\, we pray we self-negate\, knowing we who are like worms have been chosen for the most unbelievable position and purpose… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJohn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh\, and dwelt among us\, (and we beheld his glory\, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father\,) full of grace and truth. \nJohn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses\, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. \nMatthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them\, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you\, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed\, ye shall say unto this mountain\, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. \nEphesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world\, according to the prince of the power of the air\, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: \nHebrews 5:12-13\n12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers\, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk\, and not of strong meat.\n13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. \nIsaiah 28:9-11\n9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk\, [and] drawn from the breasts.\n10 For precept [must be] upon precept\, precept upon precept; line upon line\, line upon line; here a little\, [and] there a little:\n11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. \nIsaiah 28:13\n13 But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept\, precept upon precept; line upon line\, line upon line; here a little\, [and] there a little; that they might go\, and fall backward\, and be broken\, and snared\, and taken.

SUMMARY:Cornelius\, a Just Man
DESCRIPTION:Acts 10: 22 And they said\, Cornelius the centurion\, a just man\, and one that feareth God\, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews\, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house\, and to hear words of thee. \nCornelius\, whose name is Latin (Greek/Roman)\, was a centurion of a band called the Italian\, which was stationed in Caesarea. He believed in the Lord and had a good report with the multitude of Jews that lived there. He had an encounter with the Lord such that the Angel of the Lord had appeared unto him\, asking him to call on Peter. We see later that Peter became a vessel of confirmation for Cornelius\, that the Lord is not just God of the Jews but all the world. Even Peter\, who was the vessel of this message\, was also a recipient of the same message. \nWhat we see here is that Cornelius is called a just man. The reason of him being a just/righteous man is also given as he feared God. That does not mean he was fully righteous\, but it meant that he followed righteousness\, as to what he knew and understood\, he followed. \nBible says fear of the Lord is the start of wisdom. Wisdom\, we know\, brings understanding. Thus fear of God gets us to know God more\, and that helps us grow in Him. As we grow in Him\, we understand and grow in love\, and the fear is gradually replaced with love. \nPeople who think they can become righteous without fear of God are foolish. They do not realise what they call love is not actually love. They mistake emotions\, compassion\, attraction\, obsession/fixation\, dependency\, etc. as love. They will be surprised to know what love is\, as I was after years of deep Bible study. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You alone\, Lord\, are Holy\, Righteous and Truth. Lord\, we pray that we realise\, as Your Spirit guides us in the Truth\, we become eligible for Righteousness. It is fear of God that makes us receive wisdom which brings understanding. Lo\, we pray that fear of You remains in us until true love replaces it… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nActs 10:1\, 26-28\n1 There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius\, a centurion of the band called the Italian [band]\,\n26 But Peter took him up\, saying\, Stand up; I myself also am a man.\n27 And as he talked with him\, he went in\, and found many that were come together.\n28 And he said unto them\, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company\, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. \nPsalms 111:10 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.

SUMMARY:Deceivers
DESCRIPTION:2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come]\, except there come a falling away first\, and that man of sin be revealed\, the son of perdition; \nYesterday’s message warned us of heretics\, people who twist scriptures for their materialist or carnal benefits. They may sound knowledgeable but do not really benefit anyone\, even themselves. \nToday’s scripture speaks of another larger lot of people who lack knowledge yet show themselves to be knowledgeable. They are misled and thus mislead others. They are called deceivers. The verb used here is a compound verb which means out + to cheat; it comes from the root uncertain\, obscure. \nThese people themselves are not clear themselves yet they show they walk in clarity. They will fail several times yet walk in confidence time and again. \nIf you find any Preacher claiming end times are at hand\, I advise you to distance yourself from that Preacher. The confusion in that person will cause greater confusion in you. \nPaul wrote 2 letters to the Church of Thessalonica; the first letter was to warn them of Judgment Day\, but they assumed it was actually at hand. Some of these misunderstood people started misleading others more\, so he had to write his second letter to them clarifying that unless the chain of events happens\, the end is not at hand. \nWhen Jesus was also asked about the end\, He did say no one other than God knows the day and hour\, yet He spoke about it for He knew the day/period and knew the hour/actual day of the year but did not know the day and hour (day of which year). \nBible gives a lot of information about the period in various places\, and they all sync on that. As of today\, the period has a window of 200 years\, but as we come near to it\, we will have a narrower period. As for the hour/day of the year\, we are all clearly told of it since there is a feast celebrated regarding it\, which is the Feast of Trumpets. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Light; You do not desire Your children to be walking in darkness; thus You gave us Your Word\, which is a lamp to our feet and light to our path. It gives us not only instructions about our personal lives but also about the times we live in and will come across. Lord\, we pray we do not be deceived by foolish\, confused people but\, like the people of Berea\, check every teaching with the Word… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMatthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no [man]\, no\, not the angels of heaven\, but my Father only. \nMatthew 24:3-25\n3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives\, the disciples came unto him privately\, saying\, Tell us\, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign of thy coming\, and of the end of the world?\n4 And Jesus answered and said unto them\, Take heed that no man deceive you.\n24 For there shall arise false Christs\, and false prophets\, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that\, if [it were] possible\, they shall deceive the very elect.\n25 Behold\, I have told you before. \nDaniel 12:6-7\n6 And [one] said to the man clothed in linen\, which [was] upon the waters of the river\, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?\n7 And I heard the man clothed in linen\, which [was] upon the waters of the river\, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven\, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a time\, times\, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people\, all these [things] shall be finished.

SUMMARY:First and Second Admonition
DESCRIPTION:Titus 3: 9-10 But avoid foolish questions\, and genealogies\, and contentions\, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; \nWe see Paul calls a person who debates scriptures\, argues/creates conflict a heretic (one who twists scriptures for their own benefit)! \nIf one sees Paul himself with Barnabas debated Jewish Christians who claimed\, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses\, you cannot be saved”. In Athens\, Paul reasoned in the synagogues with Jews and God-fearing Greeks\, and daily in the marketplace. Paul debated Epicurean and Stoic philosophers\, famously using the altar dedicated “To the Unknown God” to preach about the resurrection and the true Creator. Paul also spent three months in the synagogue in Ephesus boldly debating and arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God before facing heavy opposition. \nWas Paul being a hypocrite\, paradoxical\, one who contradicts oneself? \nOne needs to read in Scripture that Paul mentions the purpose of debating: if it is not profitable\, something that edifies\, then it is questionable. It is not only what one talks about but also with whom one talks matters. One cannot debate a wall; stiff-necked\, deaf ears\, hardened heart\, it will profit no one\, instead cause damage. \nLet us realise the knowledge and understanding of the Bible is precious\, and like Jesus said\, not for pigs (those who do not discern). Although the animal has a larger nose than many other animals\, it cannot discern what it eats. So we should not go by people’s education\, status or their profile but by their heart. Let us not throw pearls before them; if we continue to do so\, then we will become a heretic. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Truth. Knowledge and Understanding that comes from You are more precious than gold and precious gems. Lord\, we pray we realise the value of Your Word and know to whom\, how and when to share it… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nActs 15:1-2\n1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren\, [and said]\, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses\, ye cannot be saved.\n2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them\, they determined that Paul and Barnabas\, and certain other of them\, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. \nActs 17:16-17\n16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens\, his spirit was stirred in him\, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.\n17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews\, and with the devout persons\, and in the market daily with them that met with him. \nActs 17:22-31 \nActs 19:8-10\n8 And he went into the synagogue\, and spake boldly for the space of three months\, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.\n9 But when divers were hardened\, and believed not\, but spake evil of that way before the multitude\, he departed from them\, and separated the disciples\, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.\n10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus\, both Jews and Greeks.

SUMMARY:Faith and Love
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye\, being rooted and grounded in love\, \nPeople think just because they attend Church\, call themselves Christians\, hope for salvation in Christ\, say prayers\, give alms\, etc.\, Christ dwells in them/their hearts/inner-man. \nToday’s scripture says 2 factors define whether Christ dwells in us\, and these are faith and love. \nIt is not hope or belief but faith. Hope is when we believe in something whether it is true or not. Belief is when we believe in something handed down to us by man\, like traditions. Faith\, unlike them\, is believing that which is true\, that which does not change; in other words\, God or that which comes from God. Hope can be blind\, but there is nothing like blind faith. Belief does not need God to be in the picture\, but without God there is no faith. \nLove is not the emotions that we excrete in our words or by action. Love\, if understood\, is the will to edify and build another. To will is the strongest desire\, that which stirs our lives. So if we do not will the Kingdom of God or those of His Kingdom\, then we do not love God. \nIt is only when we grow in truth and understanding of the Kingdom of God that our faith will grow\, and our love/our will will be shaped better/ will be more effective. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, do not change\, for You are Truth and Holy. Truth does not change\, nor that which is Perfect. Lord\, we pray we do not dwell in hope or belief and assume You dwell in us. It is only when we put on Your Name/Nature that You dwell in us\, and the root of it is faith and love. Lord\, we pray we grow in understanding so that our faith increases and our love for Your Kingdom becomes stronger and stronger… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMatthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them\, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you\, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed\, ye shall say unto this mountain\, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. \nMark 4:40 And he said unto them\, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? \nRomans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written\, The just shall live by faith. \nJohn 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples\, if ye have love one to another. \n1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word\, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

SUMMARY:Precious Blood
DESCRIPTION:1 Peter 1:19 But with the precious blood of Christ\, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: \nWhen we look up the word blood in Greek\, it speaks of actual blood; it also refers to the shedding of blood\, meaning sacrifice\, and in Hebrew the word comes from the root word to die /be still\, which also refers to a sacrifice. \nIt is in pagan religions that they seek actual blood in their rituals. In the OT\, they had no understanding of symbolism; thus\, they practised in letter and were destroyed. \nWe see even today many pray for protection from Satan or evil by covering themselves\, their family\, their house\, their vehicles\, their assets\, etc. with the blood of Jesus Christ. They do not realise they are demeaning the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Lord became our sacrifice to make peace between God and man; His blood/sacrifice saves us from the wrath of God. It is very precious and can be belittled by using it for protection from Satan; when we do that\, we are equating Satan to God. \nWhen Jesus asked us to eat His flesh and drink His blood\, it did not mean actual human flesh nor human blood. The Hebrew word for ‘flesh’ comes from the root meaning ‘message’. Thus He meant we eat (chew on and understand) His message\, making it our message/our flesh. The Greek word ‘drink’ roots from the meaning ‘to receive in one’s soul’. So drinking His blood speaks of accepting His sacrifice deep in one’s heart/inner-man. \nLet us understand the value of the blood/sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ and understand the power it holds in making a way to restore us to our Heavenly Father. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You humbled Yourself to become one of us so that we become more like You. You became our perfect sacrifice so that we are perfected in You through Your Spirit. Lord\, we pray we understand the value of Your Blood\, Your Sacrifice and not belittle it by using it against Satan and his evil ones… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMatthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament\, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. \nJohn 6:53-56\n53 Then Jesus said unto them\, Verily\, verily\, I say unto you\, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man\, and drink his blood\, ye have no life in you.\n54 Whoso eateth my flesh\, and drinketh my blood\, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.\n55 For my flesh is meat indeed\, and my blood is drink indeed.\n56 He that eateth my flesh\, and drinketh my blood\, dwelleth in me\, and I in him.

SUMMARY:A Sacrifice He prepared
DESCRIPTION:Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world\, he saith\, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not\, but a body hast thou prepared me: \nWhen people look at the crucifixion of Jesus\, they are more emotionally driven than by understanding. What they grasp is less than 20 per cent of that which He suffered\, yet they get heartbroken. Then some people try to imitate the crucifixion and suffering\, which they assume and indirectly mock His sacrifice. \nThe quantum of natural pain and suffering is not the crux of His suffering\, which leads us to our salvation. What we need to do is understand that He fulfilled all the sacrifices in the books of Moses and thus enabled us to be freed from all that man was and is suffering. \nEven if someday someone manages to suffer more than Christ did\, that person cannot take the place of Christ\, for none can match the criteria required. It is for this reason that the Lord Himself provided for us a perfect sacrifice. \nIt is only when we understand His sacrifice that we will be able to draw more and be greatly restored in Him. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Holy God. You created us unto holiness\, something that looks impossible. Lord\, we pray we understand all that You have done for us through Your perfect sacrifice so that we may reap the benefits of it wholly… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nHebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all]. \nHebrews 13:12 Wherefore Jesus also\, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood\, suffered without the gate. \n1 John 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood\, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only\, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness\, because the Spirit is truth.

SUMMARY:Be not idolaters
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 10: 7 Neither be ye idolaters\, as [were] some of them; as it is written\, The people sat down to eat and drink\, and rose up to play. \nIdol worship\, if clearly understood\, is a decoy with the prime purpose of avoiding facing the truth. \nWhen man makes idols for worship\, they are trying to reverse the truth that God made man out of dust and put life into it to bring it alive; they are making a god out of it and trying to put life into it by their imagination and actions. They are trying to play god over god. \nThe rituals that they do are basically to cloud the spiritual things they need to do. The prayers they chant on beads (like a rosary) are a perfect example of methods to kill prayer while assuming they are praying. \nThey offer flowers\, food\, incense\, candles\, etc.\, because they cannot offer themselves\, their desires as a sacrifice. They love this life too much to sacrifice it. They come up with concepts like Karma\, which indirectly denies Hell and Heaven\, by stating that the good and bad deeds are rewarded in this life itself. \nIf seen clearly\, all idolatry is mostly about worshipping things of this natural world\, focusing more on worshipping man. Satan is too smart to direct worship directly to himself; his goal of the destruction of man is more important than wanting the worship of man. Getting a man to do evil is enough worship for him. \nLet us always remember God is Spirit\, and the only way to worship Him is in Spirit and Truth. Let us not be deceived by rituals\, traditions\, or anything that is repetitively done\, even if taking the name of God and the Bible. Even Biblical statutes can become rituals if done continuously without understanding. They all get counted as idolatry. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Spirit and Your Kingdom is the Spirit world. This natural world and all that exists in it is made for a purpose\, and when the purpose is fulfilled in man\, they will cease to exist. Lord\, we pray we are not deceived from fulfilling the purpose by falling into idolatry… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\n1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren\, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children\, but in understanding be men. \n1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators\, nor idolaters\, nor adulterers\, nor effeminate\, nor abusers of themselves with mankind\, \n1 Corinthians 8:7 Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. \nDeuteronomy 9:12 And the LORD said unto me\, Arise\, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. \nDeuteronomy 9:18-19\n18 And I fell down before the LORD\, as at the first\, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread\, nor drink water\, because of all your sins which ye sinned\, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD\, to provoke him to anger.\n19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure\, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

SUMMARY:Counsel of Man Counsel of Satan
DESCRIPTION:Mark 8:32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him\, and began to rebuke him. \nAfter Jesus spoke about His suffering and death to His disciples\, we find Peter taking Jesus aside and rebuking Him. It was not a plea to Him not to do it\, but more of a shout. To this\, we find Jesus looks at His disciples (He was aware they could hear it) and rebukes Peter back saying\, ‘Get thee behind me\, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God\, but the things that be of men’. \nWe see Jesus compares the counsel of man to that of Satan. \nWe see in the world that people often equate moral principles with humane principles\, or vice versa. They do not realise moral principles do not change despite the situation\, but over time\, humane principles have. \nHumane values and principles have improved in many areas\, and at the same time deteriorated in many other areas. We find improvement in areas like Civil Rights\, Environmental Consciousness\, Animal Welfare\, and Mental Health Awareness… but then deterioration in areas like Attention Span & Patience (driven by short-form digital media and instant gratification)\, Interpersonal Connection\, Truth & Objective Reality\, Civic Empathy & Polarisation… \nSo we see the more important factors we have deteriorated\, and in some places\, under the excuse of civil rights\, we are included immortal things. \nSo if people call a Christian inhumane\, be not surprised\, but be cautious of any Christian who is known for fostering humane values. We as Christians are called to stand on moral values which are stated in the Bible and not humane values; for in the guise of humane\, we find Satan doing his work. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Truth and You never change\, for Truth never changes. Lord\, we pray we do not be fooled by humane values but be rooted in the Truth which is the Word of God. As humans\, we are called to die so that the divine in us lives forever. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMark 8:31-33\n31 And he began to teach them\, that the Son of man must suffer many things\, and be rejected of the elders\, and [of] the chief priests\, and scribes\, and be killed\, and after three days rise again.\n32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him\, and began to rebuke him.\n33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples\, he rebuked Peter\, saying\, Get thee behind me\, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God\, but the things that be of men. \nJohn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth\, and the truth shall make you free. \nJohn 8:44-45\n44 Ye are of [your] father the devil\, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning\, and abode not in the truth\, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie\, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar\, and the father of it.\n45 And because I tell [you] the truth\, ye believe me not. \n1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say\, brethren\, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. \nRomans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh\, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body\, ye shall live. \nMatthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

SUMMARY:Baptism and Counsel of God
DESCRIPTION:Luke 7:30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves\, being not baptized of him. \nIn today’s scripture\, we see the Pharisees and lawyers (interpreters and teachers of the Mosaic law) did not accept the counsel of God because they were not baptised (John’s baptism in water)\, while in the previous scripture not just the people but even the publicans (tax collectors – considered most evil/corrupt like in today’ politicians) abided in counsel of God showing a link between baptism and abiding in the counsel of God. \nFirstly\, we need to understand that water baptism was not founded by John the Baptist (2nd cousin of Jesus) but by John of Maccabees\, who was the founder of the Pharisees movement. To be enrolled as a Pharisee\, they had to be baptised in water or sand. Baptism in water did not mean just being dipped like we do today\, but the person was held under water for a period and on coming up\, could experience a life-and-death experience. Even in sand\, they were buried and left for a period before being dug up. \nJohn the Baptist was telling them their baptism was a ritual\, and they needed a baptism of repentance\, even though they were repeating the same thing. Our knowledge of God is not what counts\, but our obedience to Him counts. \nWe as Christians need to think when we take baptism\, are we doing what the Pharisees did as a ritual or is our baptism that of John the Baptist\, where we surrender unto the Lord\, to His counsel. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Spirit and Truth and desire that we worship You in spirit and truth. Lord\, we pray that we do not become Christians by rituals or just by relation but by mission abiding in Your counsel… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nLuke 7:29 And all the people that heard [him]\, and the publicans\, justified God\, being baptized with the baptism of John. \nMatthew 3:1-2\n1 In those days came John the Baptist\, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea\,\n2 And saying\, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. \nMatthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach\, and to say\, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. \n

SUMMARY:Not God of the dead
DESCRIPTION:Luke 20:38 For he is not a God of the dead\, but of the living: for all live unto him. \nBible says God is Spirit. The word translated as spirit is the word breath\, and breath does not refer to the air that we breathe in and out\, but symbolises the life within. \nGod is Life; all life comes from Him or is made by Him. He alone has life within Himself\, while all\, including those in Heaven\, receive a period of life. But since they dwell in Heaven\, they have access to the Tree/River of Life and can renew their lives as and when necessary; therefore\, they can live eternally. \nWhen a person dies\, their spirit continues to live until its term\, which is thousands of years\, so either they go to Hell (if they do not believe in the Lord) or sleep in Him (if they believe). Those who go to Hell are condemned to death; they suffer their sins until that life term is over\, then they cease to exist. Those who sleep in Him rise on Judgment Day to be separated from those who abided in His Word (sheep) and those who did not (goats). The sheep enter Heaven while the goats are cast into the Lake of Fire/Sulphur\, where they suffer not their sins but punishment from God\, and it is worse than them suffering their own sins\, since this place\, unlike Hell\, was not made for man but for the fallen angels. The sheep having access to the Tree of Life gain the ability to live eternally. \nIf we understand this\, we will understand today’s scripture that God is the God of the living and not of the dead\, and all live unto Him. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are God\, and You are Life. All life comes from You\, for You created us. Lord\, we pray that we understand this life we are given is for a purpose; it is only when we abide in that purpose that we can live eternally\, as we can dwell in the upper Heavens. We pray we understand and live this purpose… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJohn 6:57 As the living Father hath sent me\, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me\, even he shall live by me. \nJohn 11:25 Jesus said unto her\, I am the resurrection\, and the life: he that believeth in me\, though he were dead\, yet shall he live: \nRomans 6:10\,23\n10 For in that he died\, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth\, he liveth unto God.\n23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. \nRevelation 2:7 He that hath an ear\, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life\, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. \nRevelation 22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments\, that they may have right to the tree of life\, and may enter in through the gates into the city. \n

SUMMARY:Church of Smyrna
DESCRIPTION:Revelation 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last\, which was dead\, and is alive; \nSpiritual blindness is evident from the fact that the Church has not yet understood the 7 letters. There are hardly a handful of people who have realised the letters tell us of the timeline of the Church\, right from the days of the Apostles unto Judgment Day\, from Ephesians to Laodicea. \nI was fortunate that the Lord revealed the letters to me in great detail just before the pandemic\, and I spoke of it before it was announced by the WHO. Believe me\, I was not at all shaken when it hit; understanding of the letters also prepared me for the disasters that we are experiencing and those many which are yet to come. \nThe greatest clue to the 7 letters being the timeline of the Church is their names. If one has little knowledge of Church history\, they would see it. \nEphesians – Authorised – the era starting with the Apostles and Callings taken over by Nicolaitan (Priestly hierarchy\, a fusion of Jewish and Roman/Greek system) (30AD to 300AD)\nSmyrna – Myrrh – bitter-tasting\, aromatic gum which numbs the body if taken in mild doses and can kill if taken in larger doses over a period. The birth of the Catholic Church (300AD – 400AD)\nPergamos – Elevated – Known as the ‘Dark Ages’ (400AD – 1500AD)\nThyatira – Odour of affliction – Reformation movement and persecution of Christians at hand of the Catholic Church (1500AD – 1700AD)\nSardis – Red ones – Evangelical movement (1700AD – 2017AD)\nPhiladelphia – Brotherly Love – the coming together of the Church (2017AD – <>2200-2300AD)\nLaodicea – Justice/Judgment of the People – Period just before Judgment Day (<>2200/2300 AD – 2400-2500AD) \nAlso the Lord did not as John of Patmos to make individual letters and send to their respective Churches but put them in one book and send them (collectively) to the Churches. \nToday’s scripture talks of the period between 300AD – 400AD when the Church of Christ was sent into exile\, and the Catholic Church was founded. It was during this period that the Koine Greek (common man’s Greek) Bibles were destroyed\, and the Latin (Greek used by high society) translations by the Catholic Church were the only ones allowed\, thereby controlling the interpretation of scripture. It was in this period that the fusion of pagan Roman and Greek doctrines\, traditions\, etc.\, was fused into Christianity\, many of which still continue in Believer Churches. \nPeople are brainwashed to believe the word Catholic (katholikos) means ‘universal’; they do not know it is a compound word meaning ‘part of the whole’. The roots of denominations date back to the time of the Apostles\, and we see Paul complaining about it. In 150 AD\, we have records of whole Churches known by their denominations. The Church of Rome was the largest denomination\, thus referred to as ‘Catholic’ / katholikos by Ignatius of Antioch. \nSmyrna is called the temple of Satan and later became the throne of Satan during Pergamos. \nLet us be vigilant of the doctrines which have roots in this era and which we continue to refer to as ‘Christian’. Let us cut off these roots of Satan which\, like thistles\, destroy our spiritual growth. \nTomorrow\, the Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Bonaventure\, a bishop and theologian of the Catholic Church who in the 1480s set the new pathway of what we see today as Catholic doctrines. Some of his doctrines are Theocentric Metaphysics\, Trinitarian Theology\, Christ as Mediator\, Franciscan Defense etc. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Light and there is no darkness in You. You are True and Your Word is True. Satan\, to destroy us\, misleads us from knowing and following the Truth. Lord\, we pray we abide in Your Word and discern that which man has induced as Christian doctrines… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nRevelation 1:11 Saying\, I am Alpha and Omega\, the first and the last: and\, What thou seest\, write in a book\, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus\, and unto Smyrna\, and unto Pergamos\, and unto Thyatira\, and unto Sardis\, and unto Philadelphia\, and unto Laodicea. \nRevelation 2:6\, 9\n6 But this thou hast\, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans\, which I also hate.\n9 I know thy works\, and tribulation\, and poverty\, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews\, and are not\, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.

SUMMARY:Least is Greater!
DESCRIPTION:Luke 7:28 For I say unto you\, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he. \nJohn the Baptist was Elijah\, who was taken up and had not seen death. As Elijah\, he is known as the greatest Prophet amongst men because he alone did almost all the miracles that Moses or Jesus did. But before the Lord\, he as John the Baptist\, is considered greater because he repented of the things he did as Elijah\, and humbled himself before the Lord. His life of repentance was the reason for the things he did as Elijah. Elijah is the only Prophet rebuked by Jesus\, but as John\, was greatly praised by Jesus \nIn today’s scripture\, we see Jesus say we can also be greater than John the Baptist in the Kingdom\, and the way to that is to be the least. \nTo be least does not mean to be nothing. The word used here does not refer to quality but to quantity. It comes from the word less (as in numbers). \nTo be the least is about putting others before you; it also does not mean putting yourself behind. It is about giving priority to others more than we give priority to ourselves. We should realise it is less of me\, I\, or mine\, and whatever we do should be about building the Body of Christ and ourselves. The Spiritual Gifts we ask for or the things of the Kingdom which we seek\, should be more for the benefit of the Body of Christ than to make ourselves better. \nIt may sound easy\, but believe me\, it is not; it requires a lot of sacrifice\, and without love (the will to benefit others\, which we learned yesterday) and understanding\, it is not possible. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Spirit and Your Kingdom is a Spirit world. You look less at the external and more at the internal. You see our thoughts and value our hearts more than anything. Lord\, we pray we understand although our personal salvation is our personal choice\, yet for the salvation of mankind we need to be one body\, thus we need to build each other for its success… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nLuke 9:54-55\n54 And when his disciples James and John saw [this]\, they said\, Lord\, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven\, and consume them\, even as Elias did?\n55 But he turned\, and rebuked them\, and said\, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. \nLuke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias\, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children\, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. \nMatthew 11:14 And if ye will receive [it]\, this is Elias\, which was for to come. \nMatthew 25:45 Then shall he answer them\, saying\, Verily I say unto you\, In as much as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these\, ye did [it] not to me. \nLuke 12:23-26\n23 The life is more than meat\, and the body [is more] than raiment.\n24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?\n25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?\n26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least\, why take ye thought for the rest? \n

SUMMARY:God is Love
DESCRIPTION:1 John 4: 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God\, and God in him. \nPreachers speak of Agape being Father’s love / God’s kind of love and Agapao as human love. They err in this because of their lack of knowledge of the Greek language. ‘Agape’ is the Greek word for the verb ‘love’\, and ‘Agapao’ is a conjugation of the verb and means ‘I love’. \nMan did not know the meaning of love until the Lord came as a man\, Jesus and manifested love. That means we have started to know love. It may shock people to realize even after 2000 years people yet err to understand love i.e. they say ‘love is sacrifice’\, they do not realize sacrifice is a outcome cause of love and not love itself. \nLike it is written ‘God is love’ so also it is written ‘God is good’. They both connect so much that we mix one with the other. \nLike I said before it was only some days back I discovered love is the will to do good. It is only when we dig into scriptures of the OT and NT that we will understand this. All scriptures point to this fact that God wills our good and the power of that will is what we call love of God. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Love. You God will our good. You humbled Yourself in the beginning and created us for the good plan You have for us. Lord we pray we understand the power of willing\, if we do not will the goodness of our brethren then we do not know You or are in You. Lord we pray we understand love and remain in that true love which You manifested and still manifest for us… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you\,” declares the Lord\, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you\, plans to give you hope and a future.” \nPsalm 34:8 “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” \nPsalm 23:6 “Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life\, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” \nPsalm 119:68 “You are good\, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.” \nLamentations 3:25 “The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him\, to the one who seeks him.” \nRomans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him\, who have been called according to his purpose.” \nEphesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship\, created in Christ Jesus unto good works\, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. \nJohn 13:34-35\n34 A new commandment I give unto you\, That ye love one another; as I have loved you\, that ye also love one another.\n35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples\, if ye have love one to another. \nJohn 15:12-13\n12 This is my commandment\, That ye love one another\, as I have loved you.\n13 Greater love hath no man than this\, that a man lay down his life for his friends {associates}. \n

SUMMARY:Forgiving in the person of Christ
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 2:10 To whom ye forgive any thing\, I [forgive] also: for if I forgave any thing\, to whom I forgave [it]\, for your sakes [forgave I it] in the person of Christ; \nPeople think forgiving is forgetting. In Hebrew\, the word means ‘to bear’\, ‘to lift up’\, but in Greek it becomes more interesting. The word ‘charizomai’ in Greek\, translated as ‘forgive ’\, means ‘to do something pleasant or agreeable’ and comes from the root word ‘grace’\, ‘goodwill ’\, which further means ‘to rejoice’. \nWe need to understand the seriousness of not forgiving and the power of forgiving. To forgive a person is to restore that person\, and to not forgive is to condemn that person. Forgiving a person is showing grace which we ourselves receive from the Lord. \nIt is only when we understand this that we will understand why Jesus said in the prayer Our Father that unless we forgive others\, we may be deprived of our own forgiveness. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You Lord are our Father\, a merciful Father. You forgive us when we trespass against You and You require that we do the same to those who trespass against us. Lord\, we pray we understand the danger of not forgiving a person. We also pray we understand forgiving is not forgetting but we are called to actively restore that person in You… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMatthew 18:23-35\n23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king\, which would take account of his servants.\n24 And when he had begun to reckon\, one was brought unto him\, which owed him ten thousand talents.\n25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay\, his lord commanded him to be sold\, and his wife\, and children\, and all that he had\, and payment to be made.\n26 The servant therefore fell down\, and worshipped him\, saying\, Lord\, have patience with me\, and I will pay thee all.\n27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion\, and loosed him\, and forgave him the debt.\n28 But the same servant went out\, and found one of his fellowservants\, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him\, and took [him] by the throat\, saying\, Pay me that thou owest.\n29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet\, and besought him\, saying\, Have patience with me\, and I will pay thee all.\n30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison\, till he should pay the debt.\n31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done\, they were very sorry\, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.\n32 Then his lord\, after that he had called him\, said unto him\, O thou wicked servant\, I forgave thee all that debt\, because thou desiredst me:\n33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant\, even as I had pity on thee?\n34 And his lord was wroth\, and delivered him to the tormentors\, till he should pay all that was due unto him.\n35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you\, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. \nMatthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses\, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. \n

SUMMARY:Justified by Christ
DESCRIPTION:Galatians 2: 17 But if\, while we seek to be justified by Christ\, we ourselves also are found sinners\, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. \nThe word translated as ‘justified’ is the Greek word ‘dikaioo’\, which means ‘to render righteous’. \nSin corrupted us; Christ came as man to put us on the path of restoration. As man\, He first made peace between God and man by getting us forgiven (when we repent through Him). He also\, by His sacrifice\, made available His Spirit (Holy Spirit)\, who does the work of guiding us and help us in the actual restoration so that we can be eligible to enter Heaven. \nChrist’s relationship with sin can be equated to a doctor’s relationship with sickness. The doctor does not encourage sickness but helps us overcome it. The doctor may tolerate sickness in mild quantity\, for he knows none are perfect\, but in Christ\, that is not an option. We have to overcome any and every kind of sin within us as the Lord reveals to us and helps us. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Holy God. You are Perfect in every way\, and nothing imperfect can dwell before You. You created us and the Heavenly beings so that You can induce perfection through our overcoming sin by the power of Your Name. Lord\, we pray we keep running this race knowing our goal\, and never give up… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nRomans 6:1-2\n1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin\, that grace may abound?\n2 God forbid. How shall we\, that are dead to sin\, live any longer therein? \n1 John 3:8-10\n8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested\, that he might destroy the works of the devil.\n9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin\, because he is born of God.\n10 In this the children of God are manifest\, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God\, neither he that loveth not his brother. \n1 John 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

SUMMARY:Dwell by Faith\, Rooted and Grounded by Love
DESCRIPTION:Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye\, being rooted and grounded in love\, \nChrist dwelling in us requires two things: faith and love\, which is what today’s scripture tells us. \nFaith is misunderstood as just believing. What we believe in and how strong that belief is defines the difference between faith and hope. It is only when we believe in the truth strongly that it becomes faith; otherwise\, it is hope. When that hold is unshakeable\, it becomes authority. Jesus was called a man of authority and not a man of faith. \nSome days back\, as I was helping my daughter prepare her notes to preach on the Fruit Goodness. While doing so\, we needed to identify the difference between Love and Kindness\, and it was enlightening to get clarity. \nLove is the will we hold towards doing good that benefits / edifies the recipient. Paul says\, if love/that will does not exist\, then all other things are meaningless. \nAnother interesting fact that is mentioned is the use of the words rooted and grounded. In English\, they may seem the same\, but when we look up the Greek words and their root meanings\, it gives clarity as to why both words are used. \nWe understand them when we understand how the foundation of a tall building is done. One has to dig deep and also make sure it is rooted in rock and not mud or loose stones. Secondly\, the foundation needs to be stabilised\, else shaking\, even like a small earthquake\, can bring that structure down. \nRooted speaks of setting the foundation on a strong base\, and grounding speaks of stabilising it. Rooting may be a one-time effort\, but grounding requires continuous monitoring and change. \nHaving Christ dwelling in us is not simple but a continuous effort and a clear understanding of Him and His Kingdom (the Word of God). \nSo let us not be delusional to claim Christ dwells in us if we are not studying His Word and putting it in practice. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You Lord are Truth and Light. We pray Lord\, we seek Light by seeking the understanding Your Word. We pray also that we realise the understanding will truly come when we abide in Your Word. Help us be the Temple where Your Glory dwells forever… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nIsaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity\, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place]\, with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit\, to revive the spirit of the humble\, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. \nJohn 6:56 He that eateth my flesh\, and drinketh my blood\, dwelleth in me\, and I in him. \nJohn 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him\, If a man love me\, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him\, and we will come unto him\, and make our abode with him. \nRomans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh\, but in the Spirit\, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ\, he is none of his. \n

SUMMARY:Call on the Father
DESCRIPTION:1 Peter 1: 17 And if ye call on the Father\, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work\, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear: \nThe term Father is used for God because he is our creator\, preserver\, guardian and protector. \nPeople fail to see that God The Son is the one who created us and all that which exists. OT has scriptures that point to the Lord Jesus Christ as Father. \nThe Son came from the Father; thus\, they are the same. The only difference between them is that the Son humbled Himself before He created all that exists. Had He not humbled Himself\, then all that He created would not be able to exist and would be completely destroyed; this we will understand only when we understand Him and what Holiness means. \nLast Sunday\, I was disappointed to see a person whom I admired for his historical knowledge fall into the trap of calling Polycarp\, the Bishop of Smyrna\, a direct disciple of John the Apostle. It is an open fact that Polycarp was born in 69 AD and was martyred in 155 AD\, in a horrific way. We also have an estimate of John’s existence\, and\, going by that\, Polycarp would be a small kid groomed by the Apostle John! \nThe reason the Catholic Church has played this game is that there is a doctrine of Polycarp regarding the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ\, which they promote/follow. This helps them to run their agenda of making Mary the ‘Mother of God’. \nA child grows into a man\, but that does not mean the man is a child or the child was a man. The transformation separates them and is the same as when God The Son separated from the Father and humbled Himself in the beginning; later He humbled Himself again to become man. Although It os the same being\, yet they cannot be equated to be the same; that is why we find places Jesus rebukes people when they worship Him or call Him Holy/Good\, a property assigned only to God. \nIt is hard for people to understand scriptures like John 1:18 since they do not distinguish between God The Father from Son\, even though they are the same. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. There is no one like You. You humbled Yourself and created all things. You became Your creations as You became man. Lord\, we pray we realise as man You were totally man and without blemish yet not Perfect. For You gave up Perfection so that we too may one day be able to acquire perfection in You. Lord\, we pray we understand the power in Your Name\, by which You protect us. \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nIsaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born\, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful\, Counsellor\, The mighty God\, The everlasting Father\, The Prince of Peace. \nJohn 8:58 Jesus said unto them\, Verily\, verily\, I say unto you\, Before Abraham was\, I am \nMatthew 6:9-13\n9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven\, Hallowed be thy name.\n10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth\, as [it is] in heaven.\n11 Give us this day our daily bread.\n12 And forgive us our debts\, as we forgive our debtors.\n13 And lead us not into temptation\, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom\, and the power\, and the glory\, for ever. Amen. \nJohn 1:18 No one hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son\, which is in the bosom of the Father\, he hath declared [him \nJohn 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father\, save he which is of God\, he hath seen the Father. \n1 John 4:12 No one hath seen God at any time. If we love one another\, God dwelleth in us\, and his love is perfected in us. \nJohn 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear\, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will\, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. \nMatthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. \nJohn 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also\, because he is the Son of man. \n

SUMMARY:Children of Israel
DESCRIPTION:Acts 10:36 The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel\, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:) \nThe word Isra means “Prince” or “one with power/authority\,” and El is used for God. Thus\, Israel means “Prince of God” / “one having authority in the Lord”; in other words\, it speaks of a Son of God. \nIsrael was a promise to Jacob\, which was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He was/is the first ‘Israel’. We who are in Christ receive this promise\, and as we grow spiritually\, we become more and more Israel. \nThe race that Paul speaks of us running\, the goal post is to become Israel. I have mentioned before\, even though just 2 reach the goal post\, yet all those who ran the race till they sleep in Christ\, are considered in the winning team (like a relay race). Thus\, if a person does not witness Christ and keeps fighting their own battle with their inner-man is not considered in the team. \nLet us understand that we all who are in Christ are Children of Israel\, running the race to become Israel\, and as children of Israel\, we preach the message of peace of the Lord Jesus Christ. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, alone are God and there is none like You. We pray Lord\, we understand the purpose we are called to overcome by the power of faith and faith is perfected in authority. Lord\, we pray we keep running this race until we sleep in You… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nActs 2:38-39\n38 Then Peter said unto them\, Repent\, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins\, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.\n39 For the promise is unto you\, and to your children\, and to all that are afar off\, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call. \nHebrews 8:10 For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days\, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind\, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God\, and they shall be to me a people: \nMatthew 15:31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered\, when they saw the dumb to speak\, the maimed to be whole\, the lame to walk\, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. \nMatthew 27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel\, let him now come down from the cross\, and we will believe him. \nMark 12:29 And Jesus answered him\, The first of all the commandments [is]\, Hear\, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: \n

SUMMARY:The Cause
DESCRIPTION:Hosea 4:13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains\, and burn incense upon the hills\, under oaks and poplars and elms\, because the shadow thereof [is] good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom\, and your spouses shall commit adultery. \nMost of the time\, whenever I preach\, I have to restrain myself from being blunt and speaking the bare truth. As Jesus spoke in parables\, so as not to destroy them but to let them absorb as much as they can\, I\, too\, need to give titbits of the truth and not the whole. \nLast Sunday I was preaching in a service\, and the Lord gave me the topic ‘hate’. A simple topic like this is also difficult to teach\, so I had to dilute it\, and just before I could take the stage\, while the worship was going on\, I was surprised to see a leech crawling on the floor. Then the Lord opened my mind to the relationship between hate and a leech. Half my preaching was instantly changed\, taking the leech as its centre. Before that\, I was worried\, would they be able to swallow what I came with? \nIt will shock a person when he or she truly opens their eyes and sees what they are doing in the name of ‘Christianity’. How their lack of understanding of scriptures makes them do things contrary to the Word of God. They follow the words of man blindly and do not confirm with the Word of God. \nToday’s scripture tells us the immorality that exists in this world is rooted in the wrong relationship with God\, not just of the children but also of the parents. They worship Baal/Baali (an unknown god) more than the Living God. Even after the Lord came as man (Ishi) to manifest Himself\, still they do not see Him or know Him. They are stuck with the man Jesus and do not move ahead to know Christ\, let alone know Him as Lord. This problem is not with small churches but even with top Preachers and leaders. It really saddens me to see the state even after 2000years of the coming of Christ. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord\, are Truth and Light; there is no darkness in You. Lord\, we pray that we break the bonds of worldly knowledge that darkens our knowing the truth. We pray\, we trust You and Your Word alone and not the words of man\, whoever they be. Make us like the people of Berea… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nHosea 2:16 And it shall be at that day\, saith the LORD\, [that] thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. \nIsaiah 57:5\,7\n5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree\, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?\n7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice. \nJeremiah 3:13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity\, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God\, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree\, and ye have not obeyed my voice\, saith the LORD. \nRomans 1:23-32\n23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man\, and to birds\, and fourfooted beasts\, and creeping things.\n24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts\, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:\n25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie\, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator\, who is blessed for ever. Amen.\n26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:\n27 And likewise also the men\, leaving the natural use of the woman\, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly\, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.\n28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge\, God gave them over to a reprobate mind\, to do those things which are not convenient;\n29 Being filled with all unrighteousness\, fornication\, wickedness\, covetousness\, maliciousness; full of envy\, murder\, debate\, deceit\, malignity; whisperers\,\n30 Backbiters\, haters of God\, despiteful\, proud\, boasters\, inventors of evil things\, disobedient to parents\,\n31 Without understanding\, covenantbreakers\, without natural affection\, implacable\, unmerciful:\n32 Who knowing the judgment of God\, that they which commit such things are worthy of death\, not only do the same\, but have pleasure in them that do them. \n

SUMMARY:Do not be morally corrupt
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves\, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves\, how that Jesus Christ is in you\, except ye be reprobates? \nPreviously in business\, I used to handle a lot in sales\, but after coming to the Lord\, it became difficult to lie and oversell\, which is standard in sales. I moved more to services\, but nowadays we see even in services here are people who do not hesitate to lie. They will commit and then deny. They will present falsehood as reality just to blame others for their incompetence. They suppress the truth with shouting and threats. \nEtiquettes\, honesty\, and ownership of one’s responsibilities are things that are becoming passé. People think that by shouting and cursing\, they can show dominance; by lying\, they can escape situations; by blaming others\, they can save their neck and hide their irresponsible behaviour. \nThe saddest moment for me is to see Believers do this. It makes me think about who they believe in and who they are following. Is Christianity just a religion for them? I fear what God will do with them on Judgment Day. \nIf we do not have moral values\, then we cannot call ourselves Christian. Our moral status should not be humane but Godly. Our values are supposed to be very high than that of others\, others should see Christ in us. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Holy God. You alone are Perfect is all ways. Lord we pray we understand we whom You call as your children are to project You in us. We too are called to be prefect as much as we are able to. Lord we pray we work to be in Your Name\, shining Your Name to all who interact with us… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nPsalms 17:3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the night; thou hast tried me\, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that] my mouth shall not transgress. \nPsalms 119:59 I thought on my ways\, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. \nPsalms 139:23-24\n23 Search me\, O God\, and know my heart: try me\, and know my thoughts:\n24 And see if [there be any] wicked way in me\, and lead me in the way everlasting. \nHaggai 1:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. \nHebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you]\, and thereby many be defiled; \nEphesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man\, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. \nGalatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

SUMMARY:Do not seek only silver
DESCRIPTION:Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple\, and departed\, and went and hanged himself. \nIn Revelation\, we find Heaven has gold and precious stones but not silver. The precious stones are not precious because they are costly. There are some more costly stones than the ones mentioned that Heaven is made of. The stones are symbolic\, and people will be shocked to know what they represent (they are connected to the 12 tribes of Israel\, but they\, too\, were symbolic of something mentioned in NT). \nGold symbolises spiritual wealth\, while silver symbolises earthly wealth. This wealth need not be just monetary; it can also include skills\, social status\, fame\, beauty\, personality\, etc. \nJudas\, only after making the grave mistake\, realised that silver has no value in death. He forsook the Lord for some silver coins and was sorry\, but did not repent (make good)\, thus was considered as a lost soul. \nBible does not say silver is evil; it was used in vessels which were sacred along with gold vessels unto the Lord. \nWe need to understand the limitations of silver and know it is important\, but then it is something of use only while we dwell in these earthly bodies. But when it comes to gold\, it is deposited in our Heavenly account and can gain us a high crown in Heaven. Heaven is not a flat place but has levels\, so to be closer to the glory of the Lord\, we need to seek the higher levels/high crown. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You alone are God and Creator of all things that exist. Everything You created is not by chance but by intention\, with purpose. So even the things of this world are created for us to understand the things which we can not see. Lord\, we pray we do not blindly seek things but understand what we seek and why we seek them. We pray we do not be foolish to seek silver over gold or to ignore its importance completely. Help us to walk in truth and understanding… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJoshua 6:19 But all the silver\, and gold\, and vessels of brass and iron\, [are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. \n1 Kings 15:15 And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated\, and the things which himself had dedicated\, into the house of the LORD\, silver\, and gold\, and vessels. \nEzra 5:14 And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God\, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that [was] in Jerusalem\, and brought them into the temple of Babylon\, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon\, and they were delivered unto [one]\, whose name [was] Sheshbazzar\, whom he had made governor; \nEzra 8:28 And I said unto them\, Ye [are] holy unto the LORD; the vessels [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers. \nRevelation 21:21 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold\, as it were transparent glass. \n

SUMMARY:Was it Wine?
DESCRIPTION:John 2:3 And when they wanted wine\, the mother of Jesus saith unto him\, They have no wine. \nIn English\, when we use the term wine\, it automatically means fermented grape juice or that of other fruits or grains; it could be flavoured or plain. But\, surprisingly\, Bible translators under the influence of the Catholic Church translated grape juice also as wine. Catholics are famous for their consumption of alcohol; thus\, as they did to the second commandment to enable idol worship\, they did the same with scriptures for alcohol consumption. \nBible does condemn alcohol but warns against the dangers of its consumption just as it does against other lusts of the flesh\, mind and spirit. \nIf we go deeper into the Greek and Hebrew words used in various scriptures\, we will understand what they mean. \nIn Greek\, there are totally 3 words translated as/used for wine:-\nOinos – oy-nos – (Strong 3631) – wine in general whose fermentation levels may vary from fresh juice\, to mild\, to medium – John 2:10\, Luke 5:39\, 1 Tim 3:8\, 1 Tim 5:23…\nGleukos – glyoo-kos – (Strong 1098) – high fermented wine – Act 2:13 (only scripture)\nParvinos – Par-oy-nos – (Strong 3943) – given to highly fermented wine or getting drunk with strong wine – 1 Tim 3:3 \nIn Hebrew\, there are a total of 7 words translated as/used for wine:-\nTiyrowsh – Tee-roshe – (Strong 8492) – fresh grape juice – Gen 27:25\nAciyc – Aw-sees – (Strong 6071) – fresh wine not fermented – Joel 1:5\nYayin – Yay-in – (Strong 3196) – fermented wine (mild to slightly strong) – Gen 27:28\, Joel 1:5\, Proverbs 23:30\nMamcak – mam-sawk – (Strong 4469) – spiced wine – Proverb 23:30\nShekar – Shay-kawr – (Strong 7491) – Alcohol or strong drink or spirit – Num 28:7 (only scripture)\nCobe – so-beh – (Strong 5435) – getting drunk with strong wine – Isaiah 1:22\nEnab – Ay-awb – (Strong 6025) – to bear fruit or grape as a fruit or wine – Hosea 3:1 \nWe see in John 2:10 the host of the wedding (the groom’s father) responds surprisingly as to why the fresh juice was served later\, while the mildly fermented one prepared a day or 2 days before was served first. \nLet us not take translations literally\, but introspect them and be saved from deception. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. Lord\, we pray we understand Your Word is infallible as are You. Lord we pray we seek do not be deceived by the games played by the evil ones\, but seek to know the truth by studying Your Word deeper. Bless us will wisdom and guide us to the Truth… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJohn 2:9-10\n9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine\, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom\,\n10 And saith unto him\, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk\, then that which is worse: [but] thou hast kept the good wine until now.

SUMMARY:We will be judged
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 5: 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body\, according to that he hath done\, whether [it be] good or bad. \nLike we have the heretic doctrine of Prosperity Gospel\, we also have the doctrine of Abundant Grace. \nMany Christians are falsely made to believe that just by believing in Jesus Christ\, they will go to Heaven. Thus\, whatever they do will not be held against them. They assume that those who backslide did not believe to start with. \nIt is true that by believing (faith) in Jesus Christ\, we are saved\, but we are saved only from Hell. That means on death\, when our spirit leaves the body\, it does not go to Hell but goes to sleep (a realm called Grave/Sea) and on Judgment day will rise to stand before His Throne/ Judgment Seat to be judged. \nIt is the Flock (those who believe) who are judged on Judgment Day. Those who do not believe are already judged; they go to Hell the moment they die/exit the body. It is the flock that is separated into sheep and goats. The sheep (who abide in His Will) enter Heaven\, and the goats (who do not abide in His Will) go to the Lake of Fire (a place meant for fallen angels – worse than Hell). \nLet us not be deceived by the doctrine of Abundant Grace. Let us abide by the warning of Paul to work our salvation (entry to Heaven) with fear and trembling. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You Lord made us to be light in the darkness. Lord we pray we do ot just be recipients of Your Light but also shine unto others for we are called to love on another like You loved us. We pray we walk in Your Way and be like You so as to enter Your Kingdom… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nJohn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already\, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. \nMatthew 25:32-33\n32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another\, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:\n33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand\, but the goats on the left. \n1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again\, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. \nMatthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

SUMMARY:He is the Way
DESCRIPTION:Luke 7:27 This is [he]\, of whom it is written\, Behold\, I send my messenger before thy face\, which shall prepare thy way before thee. \nToday’s scripture speak of John the Baptist becoming a messenger to prepare the way to the man Jesus who Himself is the Way. \nWe as Men and Women of God simply show people the Way Jesus and help them along with the Holy Spirit to walk that Way. \nThe Lord created all things and man\, so that man can become the light which overcomes darkness and be gathered unto Him. Thus the destination of man is the Lord. But man falling in sin made sin a barrier between man and God. \nMan by himself could not break this barrier thus the Lord became man to make a way for man to be reconciled with Him. He as man Jesus by His sacrifice prepared a way for there was no way\, He also gave us His Spirit who helps us travel this Way. \nIf we understand the Lord Jesus Christ\, we will see He as Lord is our destination but as man Jesus is our way. His Spirit is the one who leads us on this way. He is our start\, He is our end and He also is the one in between. \nSo let not stop with showing people the man Jesus but help them bond with His Spirit so that they meet the real Him\, as Lord God. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. A part of You Humbled Yourself to create all things so that we can be reconciled to You. You made man to be the light in the darkness but darkness corrupted him. So You made a Way and also became a Helper to take man through this Way so that we are gathered unto You. Lord we thank You to have chosen us to be the carriers of Your Name\, to demonstrate the Power in Your Name… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nLuke 1:15-17\n15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord\, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost\, even from his mother s womb.\n16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.\n17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias\, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children\, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. \nIsaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness\, Prepare ye the way of the LORD\, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. \nMalachi 3:1 Behold\, I will send my messenger\, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord\, whom ye seek\, shall suddenly come to his temple\, even the messenger of the covenant\, whom ye delight in: behold\, he shall come\, saith the LORD of hosts. \nMalachi 4:5-6\n5 Behold\, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:\n6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children\, and the heart of the children to their fathers\, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. \nJohn 1:23 He said\, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness\, Make straight the way of the Lord\, as said the prophet Esaias.

SUMMARY:Correction
DESCRIPTION:James 5: 19\, 20 Brethren\, if any of you do err from the truth\, and one convert him; Let him know\, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death\, and shall hide a multitude of sins. \nChristians think they can be corrected only by their Pastor or Church elders\, and Pastors can be corrected only by their mentors or by God Himself. This understanding is in line with Catholic Church doctrine and not Biblical doctrine. \nBiblically\, the right to correct depends on Calling and spiritual maturity. A person with a higher Calling can correct those whom he or she serves. Like an Apostle can correct a Prophet\, or Prophet a Teacher\, a Teacher an Evangelist… \nBut also a person skilled in a specific domain can correct those higher in hierarchy\, like a Teacher when it comes to Biblical understanding\, a Prophet regarding prophecies\, an Apostle in Kingdom administration… \nSpiritual maturity is also a key factor and is not a constant parameter. A person who was spiritually mature but is backsliding is considered spiritually low\, and such a person can be corrected by anyone spiritually stable. That means if a Pastor is doing something wrong and continuing in it\, then even his congregation can correct him or her. It does not mean just accuse them before all. Jesus gave a process in Matthew 18:15-17 that we need to follow. We need to correct out of love\, with goodness and gentleness. \nCorrecting another Believer is not an option but a duty of every Christian. Today’s scripture tells us that when we correct a Brethren we do not just save them from a multitude of sins\, we also save their souls. If we do not\, then their blood will be on our hands\, and we will have to answer for it on Judgment Day. Understand\, knowing or being aware of the downfall of a Brethren and not correcting them makes us party to the death of that Brethren. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You\, Lord alone\, are Holy God. You alone are Perfect. Lord\, we pray that we are called to be a Body\, for we complement and support one another. When one of us falls\, we are called to lift up that person as You do to us. Lord\, we pray that we understand our responsibility to each other and how love binds us together. We pray we correct with love\, goodness and gentleness… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nPsalms 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed\, which do err from thy commandments. \nPsalms 119:118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood. \n2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore\, beloved\, seeing ye know [these things] before\, beware lest ye also\, being led away with the error of the wicked\, fall from your own stedfastness. \n1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself\, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself\, and them that hear thee. \nMatthew 18:15-17\n15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee\, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee\, thou hast gained thy brother.\n16 But if he will not hear [thee\, then] take with thee one or two more\, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.\n17 And if he shall neglect to hear them\, tell [it] unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church\, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. \n

SUMMARY:Which long for you
DESCRIPTION:2 Corinthians 9:14 And by their prayer for you\, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. \nWhen we read this\, one tends to assume the scripture demonstrates the power of prayer ministry\, wherein one sits in a room\, praying continuously\, and things happen. \nBoth Jesus and Paul highlighted the importance and power of prayer\, but both their ministries were focused on going out to reach people in public places\, in their houses\, and in various places\, and ministering to them. \nPrayer is the ignition; it opens doors\, breaks barriers\, brings down strongholds\, but then we still need to reach out\, minister to people so that they\, too\, experience the power of God and do the same. \nWhen we come to Christ\, we are set free from the bondage of sin\, but one thing people do not understand is that to remain free\, we are called to get into another bondage. We were slaves of sin\, and after we are set free by knowing Christ\, to remain free\, we need to become slaves to men. \nTo remain free from sin\, we need to take the burden of Christ\, and in the process of carrying it we become more like Him and fulfil the scripture\, who the Son sets free is free indeed. \nIf we do not do what the Son has asked of us\, then how can we be set free? \nToday’s scripture translates the Greek word ‘deesis’\, which means want\, seeking\, asking\, as ‘prayer’. The verb does not mean only a verbal action. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Divine One. You created us and called us your children. As children we are called to reflect You. You just did not desire good for us\, but also put into action this desire by becoming one of us and not just making a way when there was no way but also showing us how to walk the way. Lord we pray we do not just sit and pray but also share the truth with others and become example of You\, leading others to follow You… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nMatthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee\, teaching in their synagogues\, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom\, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. \nMark 16:15-18\n15 And he said unto them\, Go ye into all the world\, and preach the gospel to every creature.\n16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.\n17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;\n18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing\, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick\, and they shall recover. \nActs 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God\, and the name of Jesus Christ\, they were baptized\, both men and women. \nActs 15:35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch\, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord\, with many others also. \nActs 28:30-31\n30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house\, and received all that came in unto him\,\n31 Preaching the kingdom of God\, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ\, with all confidence\, no man forbidding him. \nJohn 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free\, ye shall be free indeed. \n1 Corinthians 9:19 For though I be free from all [men]\, yet have I made myself servant unto all\, that I might gain the more.

SUMMARY:Idolatry
DESCRIPTION:1 Corinthians 10: 7 Neither be ye idolaters\, as [were] some of them; as it is written\, The people sat down to eat and drink\, and rose up to play. \nThe word ‘Idolatry’ comes from the words ‘serving’ + ‘idols’. It is when we bow\, kiss\, and offer food or flowers or burn candles\, incense\, anything or any act to believe an idol has life is considered idolatry. Idols need not be just statues; they can be pictures or simple objects like money\, vehicles\, houses\, jewellery\, electronic devices\, etc… \nWhat is interesting is that even people\, animals or religious symbol actually replace that which it represents is considered idolatry. Like a Man of God is given the place of God in one’s life\, then it is idolatry\, or a dove is thought to be the Holy Spirit is idolatry or bowing to a crucifix or kissing it is also idolatry. \nToday’s scripture speaks of the celebrations/festivals connected to idolatry. They can be either joyful or sorrowful\, both count as a celebration. One may say even God ordained festivals\, so did He promote idolatry? \nBiblical festivals are statutes\, which means they are celebrated to understand its purpose and once the purpose is understood one is not called to celebrate them. They were for the children of Israel and not for Israel. That means we who are mature in spirit are called to celebrate festivals with those growing in spirit and not for us to celebrate amongst ourselves. So Men or Women of God do not celebrate festivals unless they are doing so with those growing spiritually. \nIn idolatry the celebration is a ritual and activity if not done\, leads to condemnation either physically\, mentally or spiritually. \nI mentioned before that in Hebrew\, every letter of the alphabet is an ideogram and symbolise objects or actions. For example\, the word YHWH means ‘Behold Hand Behold Nail’ (Christ). When we decode the word idol in Hebrew\, it comes as ‘Power of Darkness’. \nThe second Commandment says we cannot make an image (symbolical or actual) of anyone in Heaven\, on Earth or one who is dead\, and serve it. So making a statue of someone as Jesus Christ and serving it is Idolatry. \nLet us be careful\, many put a Man of God (dead or alive) in high esteem\, almost as God\, then they will not go to Heaven\, contrary to what they assume. It is considered idolatry\, and Heaven is no place for idolaters. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You are Spirit\, and Heaven is a spiritual place. Spirit has no form that can be put in an image\, but only an image that can be lived. Lord\, we pray that we understand that perfect worship is when we live Your Image in us\, not when we make temples\, synagogues\, or altars in Your name. We pray we do not foolishly land into idolatry even in Your name… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\n1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren\, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children\, but in understanding be men. \n1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company\, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator\, or covetous\, or an idolater\, or a railer\, or a drunkard\, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. \n1 Corinthians 6:9-10\n9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators\, nor idolaters\, nor adulterers\, nor effeminate\, nor abusers of themselves with mankind\,\n10 Nor thieves\, nor covetous\, nor drunkards\, nor revilers\, nor extortioners\, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Ezekiel 24:16 Son of man\, behold\, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep\, neither shall thy tears run down. \nWe see the Lord was very angry with the people and asked Ezekiel to prophecy about the suffering that was to come on them. What may come as shocking was that Ezekiel was told that\, as he was delivering this prophecy\, the Lord was taking away that which he desired the most\, which was his beautiful wife\, also that he would neither mourn nor weep. \nPeople may wonder whether the Lord is so tyrannical that He had the unmerited loss of what Ezekiel loved the most. \nThe Lord wanted Ezekiel to feel that what He felt\, His people were as dear to Him as Ezekiel’s wife was to him. The Lord wanted him and us to experience what the Lord experiences when His people go astray. \nWe need to understand that when we are punished after numerous warnings\, it does not please God to do so. It pains Him greatly\, but then to save us from greater destruction\, He needs to do so. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. You created us in Your Image. You desire that we become like You. You left no stone unturned to help us. You will stand back when we become our greatest enemy. Lord\, we pray we understand it hurts You greatly when You move Your Hand from over us and allow our doings to fall on us. Lord\, we pray we repent and turn back to You\, Your Ways… \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nEzekiel 24:6-13\n6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city\, to the pot whose scum [is] therein\, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.\n7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground\, to cover it with dust;\n8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock\, that it should not be covered.\n9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.\n10 Heap on wood\, kindle the fire\, consume the flesh\, and spice it well\, and let the bones be burned.\n11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof\, that the brass of it may be hot\, and may burn\, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it\, [that] the scum of it may be consumed.\n12 She hath wearied [herself] with lies\, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.\n13 In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee\, and thou wast not purged\, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more\, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

SUMMARY:Who is a greater sinner?
DESCRIPTION:John 9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind\, and said unto him\, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. \nIn today’s scripture\, we see the Jews gave praise to God for healing the young blind man\, but then accused him of being blind because he was a sinner. \nThe Jews knew that none were free of sin\, thus drowned themselves in rituals to cover their sinfulness. What they meant by saying he was a sinner was that he had sinned gravely and thus was punished with blindness. Later\, when they heard he was blind from birth\, they accused the parents of being grave sinners. \nSickness is indeed related to sin; it was only when man sinned that sickness started manifesting in man. Adam means ‘man’\, but also means ‘reddish’\, symbolising fullness of life. It was in Enos\, the grandson of Adam\, that they began to see sin manifest as sickness and death; thus named Enos\, which means mortal. \nIf we understand sickness and Bible symbolism we will realise sickness is not always a punishment for the sin\, many a times the person may carry the sin / sin nature yet not have sickness (related to that sin). That nature will be passed on but not suffered. God allows natural sickness to manifest so as to alert us of our spiritual sickness. Every natural sickness is related to our spiritual corruption. \nIf God had gone by the rule book then all of us should be blind and seriously sick\, but it is the mercy of God not all of us are blind or seriously sick. If we have any sickness\, it comes to warn us of where we need to spiritually work on. \nIn the young man’s case Jesus confirmed the blindness the young man suffered was not because of his some serious sin nor of his parents. Note the man did approach Jesus for healing but Jesus approached him. God allowed that blindness to manifest so that he be healed and by it we understand sickness\, understand the love and power of God. \n[Prayer Starter]\nLord\, You are Almighty God. \nThis prayer we make in Jesus’ Name\, Amen. \n[Reference Scriptures]\nGenesis 4:26 And to Seth\, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD. \nMark 9:17-18\, 23-27\n17 And one of the multitude answered and said\, Master\, I have brought unto thee my son\, which hath a dumb spirit;\n18 And wheresoever he taketh him\, he teareth him: and he foameth\, and gnasheth with his teeth\, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.\n23 Jesus said unto him\, If thou canst believe\, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.\n24 And straightway the father of the child cried out\, and said with tears\, Lord\, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.\n25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together\, he rebuked the foul spirit\, saying unto him\, [Thou] dumb and deaf spirit\, I charge thee\, come out of him\, and enter no more into him.\n26 And [the spirit] cried\, and rent him sore\, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said\, He is dead.\n27 But Jesus took him by the hand\, and lifted him up; and he arose.
