Biblical View: LGBTQIAP+

As Christians, we are representatives of a superior Kingdom and we are known as such when we bring the values and the mind of the King to bear in our daily discourse. I hear this argument all the time, that let’s put religion out of this discussion and address it from an intellectual perspective. When the mind of a people is reprobate, knowledge has no value to society, and perversion and moral decadence becomes the lot of the people. An intelligent reprobate mind will only find “intelligent” ways to destroy the fundamental blocks of society and nothing else. We need more than intelligence, we need renewed minds here.

As a Chrisitan, God’s word should not only be the moral compass for navigation in a world where the borderlines between good and evil, moral and immoral have been completely eroded but also the final authority on all matters of life.

A true Christian who knows God is not indifferent to evil but loves what God loves and dislikes what God frowns on.
There are too many Christians sitting on the fence because their discernment has been desensitized.
Making arguments outside the parameters of the word of God as a believer is an indication God’s word has no authority and value in your life. By what then, is your yard-stick, what then is your scope of reference? Humanistic and secular views?

Lawyers quote from legal books, Doctors quote from medical books: A Christian must quote and have references from his Bible. There is nothing absolutely wrong with that and that does not make it less intellectual; in fact, it has much more value intellectually. Every discussion has a context and you cannot superimpose your secular, atheistic context over the Christian context.

Of course, because the contexts are different there will be conflicts. That is why every believer is sent to the marketplace of the world to make disciples of nations. Discipling is bringing on board the Christain perspective on all issues of life, not some views of a supposed Atheistic intellectual. We cannot be fishers of men if we remain among men in the same element with them. It is written, come out from among them and be ye separated unto me.

Some argue; it does not hurt anyone, it’s in their rooms. Those are tools to desensitize you and me, to be passive towards their dehumanizing activities. We believers must also do research on some of these things so we can speak with some gusto.

Their activities are not limited to some bedroom escapades between adults as supposed, but active recruitment of the young promising men and women into these acts thereby jeopardizing their future. Statistics show that there is bound to be an 18% rise in HIV/AIDS infections as a result of this behavior. At the end of the day, it hurts everybody and the world at large.

In conclusion, the church of Jesus Christ is being called upon repeatedly, both from within and without, to reappraise its historic posture toward homosexuality. Such a prevailing public challenge demands a response from not only those charged with shepherding the flock of God, but all disciples of Christ, and refuting those who oppose His truth. In the spirit of the Reformers, they must labor so that God’s truth is not obscured by the traditions of men. It is time to study deeper to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needs not be ashamed.

A Letter From Hell

A guy slept off while waiting for his roommate, he keeps late at night. As he tried turning around, a huge dark figure with flamy eyes opened his door, he wanted to scream but all his strength was gone. Was it a dream or vision?
He couldn’t tell. It stared deep into his eyes and handed him a letter, he opened it…….

Dear Jude,
I couldn’t make it home last night because I died. I thought life after death is an elusion but am here lonely and afraid in pains and in torments The torture is unending, I can’t explain it but am dying a thousand times in a second.
You never told me this place was for real and how to avoid it. We grew up together, went to school together, and did everything in common but you never told me about this new life of yours. I asked you severally and you jokingly pushed it aside. I was a good man with a charitable heart but that didn’t count here.

The angel told me, am without Christ and my name is not in the book of life. I asked you yesterday morning whats this born-again stuff and you said you don’t want to bore me. Am in pain, can you hear the screams, the torments of the great and the less, I was told it’s for eternity. You betrayed our friendship, you never told me sex was fornication but you cautioned me against AIDS, you never told me getting high was drunkenness, you just told me not to drink and drive, you never told me lying was sin, all you just said was don’t be caught. I hate you for this….aaaahhh…..aaahhhh….aaa am dying again here but am alive, the flames keep getting hotter. I wish you were here. You deceived me to the end. If you had told me about Jesus and salvation I knew I couldn’t be here. I died only a few hours ago, I was drunk and ran into a pole but it seems I have been here for years. Please tell my family and all our friends about salvation. Am dying again but death won’t come. It’s me, Henry. He woke up at about
2:45 AM with a banging headache and his phone started ringing, he picked it up and what he heard scared him to his bones. “Hello, Henry is dead”.

Today is still another opportunity to tell someone very dear to you about Jesus Christ and His saving grace. I just told you because I will never want you to end up in HELL.

HAVE YOU TOLD
SOMEONE ABOUT
JESUS TODAY?

You can copy, share and paste in other group chats, please. God will help us in this race in the mighty name of Jesus….

You might not be able to go around evangelizing but you can just share this to caution someone.

Hunger!!!

Evans Robert, the pioneer of the Welsh Revival began to chase God as a teenager to a level that sometimes when they call him to the dining table his response would be; “I’m not hungry”

I’ve noticed a level of spiritual hunger that consumes physical hunger…
You’re so hungry for God to a level that you can tarry for days and hours without food or water.

A hunger that when it comes upon you, prayers and fastings will not be an issue.

You’re so carried away with the Deep things of God to a level that you’ve even forgotten that you’ve not eaten, you forgot to take breakfast, you forgot ur lunch and dinner and still feel like continuing.

It was this kind of Hunger that David had that made him to say;
Psalms 69:9 “For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up…”

One major sign that you’re sick is that you’ll lose your appetite.
And anyone who lack hunger for spiritual Food (the word) and Drinks (Tonguing) it’s a sign that he’s sick spiritually.

The Princes of Israel saw God at mount Sinai, and they all ate and dined with God;
Exodus 24:11 “…also they saw God, and did eat and drink.”
They were WINING and DINING with JEHOVAH.

Are there Youths Here?
You say if I fast now, I’ll become lean, and my neck will become long.
No Dear, When you fast you don’t lose weight, you lose Flesh…

Daniel in his days took just vegetables and water for days so that his body will be light; for effective studies and prayers…
And at the end, he became ten times better than his colleagues..

If you must go ahead of your generation, then you must do what others are not doing.
Matthew 5:47 ” …what do ye more than others?…”

You must be ready to drop PLEASURES and seek for TREASURES.

There’s a level of Hunger you’ll have for God you won’t have time to keep Malice.

There’s a level of Hunger for God that consumes LUST.

They say a Hungry Man is an Angry man… A man who’s Hungry for God will be Angry at Sin.

Can you please cry to God; “Oh Lord, give me Hunger…”

Newness of Life

Newness of Life

Only those who do not know Him will be ashamed of Him.
Sense knowledge stands mute in the presence of the tragedy of eternity.

Deity suffered for humanity. When He was pronounced dead, darkness over came
the earth for three hours. Creation went into mourning, when the Creator became
man’s substitute. The earth quaked; Creation was shaken to the very center by the tragedy
of Deity becoming mankind’s substitute.

The veil of the temple was rent in two from top to bottom; the Holy of Holies was no longer
the home to Jehovah. 1 Cor. 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
Why did Jesus come?
John 10:10b “I am come that they might have life(Zoe) and that they might have it more abundantly”

There are two kinds of life identified in the Bible; Psuche and Zoe.

Psuche is the natural human life we were born with. Psuche operates with the five senses of; hearing, seeing, touching, smelling and tasting. Psuche cannot receive any information outside these sensory parameters; in fact, they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand for they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 2:14. Psuche is the life inherited from the fallen man Adam. This kind of life is terribly limited and an enemy of God. For this reason, Jesus came to impact Zoe; the God-kind of life.

Zoe is the realm of the super-natural, the incorruptible life, the higher life, the life of no impossibility. Jesus demonstrated the possibilities of this life in His earthly walk; He healed the sick, raised the dead, calmed the storm, cleansed the leapers. And he said greater things shall we do, and it is because of Zoe.

This is the reason for the season. This is the end to His death. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Zoe. John 3:16. This is not an idea but a sovereign declaration of all eternity. Zoe exempts and insulates the receiver from destruction; shall not perish!; this is a heavenly legislation!
This is what Jesus brought to all those who believe in Him. Zoe is your present-day possession if you have received Him.

The other day the natural men exclaimed what manner of man is this that even the wind and the storms obey him!
They recognised that this operation is not obtainable in the realm which they lived(Psuche) but not when one is operating with Zoe. Nothing defeats Zoe. Nothing corrupts Zoe. Nothing can kill Zoe, because nothing can kill God.

You can receive Zoe right now as you believe and confess the Lordship of Jesus over your life.
Walk in this newness of Life. Live and manifest Zoe wherever you go. You have the life of God in you.

Shalom.

I Know Who I Am

I am a chosen generation; It is too late for man to reject me!
I am a royal priesthood: I am not in bondage to sin and fear; I am free!
I am a Holy nation; I walk, talk and move in His righteousness.
I am God’s own special, unique creature; I cannot be ordinary for He lives in me, moves in me and talks to me!
I am a promoter for and with God: I proclaim the praises of Him who has called me out of darkness to His marvellous light.
I am God’s garden, His vineyard and field under cultivation; I am God’s building.
I Know Who I AM! I Know Who I AM!
Glory Hallelujah!

Jesus Virus III

JESUS VIRUS 3

Dear believer, why is your heart failing and why has fear and doubt taken the best of you? I will tell you why; because you have become a Corona virus journalist. You know all the statistics and can even quote them off head but you cannot quote a verse about Gods protection for His children from the Bible, you talk about Corona virus all day with your friends and family more than you talk about Jesus and His saving power, you search and research and share every material and information about Corona but you will not share Christian materials sent or forwarded to you. Are you ashamed of Him?

Fear is and has always been a great weapon in the arsenal of the enemy. Fear paralysis faith and renders it inefficient so that it cannot produce the expected result. Fear short-circuits the power of God in the life of the believer. This is the reason God said “Do Not Fear”, 365 times in the whole Bible, one for a day.

Goliath was a real enemy and great threat to the Israelites, which King Saul and his well trained soldiers feared exceedingly, but it took a young shepherd boy who had more faith than fear to bring the giant down. If faith pleases God then God abhors fear because fear is a proclamation of the inability of God to make good His promises.

The time to make the switch is now for are we not to walk by faith and not by sensory perceptions? Let’s get in the word, talk about His promises with friends and loved ones more than Corona, share Christians materials with others more than we share news on Corona because we become what we feed on. Don’t feed your fears but feed your faith and you will bring down any Goliath that stands against you. Don’t be the mouth-piece of the enemy spreading fear and darkness all over the land but be a trumpet in Zion sounding and resounding the goodness of the Lord; His protection for those that reverence Him and bringing light and strength to the faint hearted.

If we could spread the Gospel of Jesus like we are spreading Corona news and statistics, the prayer of Jesus would have been answered “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Shalom

Jesus Virus II

JESUS VIRUS – Part 2

I have been unpleasantly amazed and rudely awakened by the unsavory commentary and arrogance portrayed by some people especially when God or prayer is mentioned in relation to these difficult times in which we live. Most heart breaking is to find out some of the most terrible commentary came from folks who would identify themselves as ‘Christians’ on a normal day. Like really? I ask myself.

The moral and spiritual fiber of our world is deteriorating at a much faster rate than we think, trust me. I ask myself, how and when did God and prayer became leprous that they are no longer allowed amongst men, God and prayers have become a taboo, a mockery of nations. People think their minute knowledge or accomplishments supersedes the God who gave them breathe and can take it at any time? My brother, my sister, relax, all you see is not all there is. This kind of mind-set is pompous and disrespectful towards God.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Who is this that darkeneth counsel, by words without knowledge?
Gird up now thy loins like a man;
for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
or who hath stretched the line upon it?
or who shut up the sea with doors,
when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
When I made the cloud the garment thereof,
and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
And brake up for it my decreed place,
and set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further:
and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days;
and caused the dayspring to know his place;
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

We are terribly limited in knowledge and understanding, yet our arrogance and pride knows no boundaries. Many have come and departed; the great emperors of Rome; the Nero’s and the Augustus, the Alexander the greats of Macedonia and Persia, the Philosophers of Ancient Greece; the Plato’s and co have all disappeared from the face of the earth.
This is not an article to convert anyone who doesn’t believe in God or prayer, but at least allow those of us who believe in the dynamic working power of prayer to do so, without all the destructions, insults and political twists. Afterall nobody is abusing those who don’t believe in God or prayer. I believe this is unfair even in natural justice.

Some say we should stop prayers and concentrate on medicine and all that; this is my question to them; is science and medicine and prayer mutually exclusive? I think not. We can and
should do both. We are all aware of what nations whose hospitals make us desire to be hospitalized; because of how advanced they are in medicine and technology are saying.

There are too many lessons from history, both Biblically and secularly, which enforces this national day of prayer and fasting. In 1940, Hitler unleashed a military onslaught on the world, in his evil ambition to rule the whole world(which always happens when good people in the society, who know better, hold their peace), and was advancing towards Great Britain to its annihilation, until a national day of prayer was observed. Suddenly in a decision that infuriated his generals and still baffles historians. Hitler ordered his army to halt. Had they continued to fight the destruction of Great Britain would have been inevitable. Winston Churchill called it “the miracle of Dunkirk”. No matter how sophisticated, careful and intelligent we may be, a time comes when we are forced to acknowledge that the heavens do rule in the affairs of men.

I join my little voice to the great voices of the land to make a clarion call to all who believe in the power of God and prayer to turn situations around to make their stomachs available for tomorrows fasting as we fulfil our noble and priestly assignment as intercessors for the nation.

May God find us not asleep or murmuring but awake and making up the hedges and standing in the gaps for this nation when He comes searching, that we might be spared. Thank you.
