THE MARK OF CHRIST PART 1

Ephesians 1:13 (In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise), 

The mark of Christ is the identification mark of every believer; it sets us apart from the others; it makes us a unique entity and one family of God. This mark does not just come upon you as a person; it is for those who are set apart by God as His own (Ezekiel 9:6). It is a seal of protection; it is a seal of covenant of promise between man and God. It is called the seal of the Holy Ghost that God promised to send to us after the resurrection of Christ (John 14:16-19). There is a process involved to get this mark; our anchor scripture above explain it this way; First, there is hearing of the word of God which is the gospel of salvation; then the repentance; there is a need to trust God base on the truth that you have heard about His saving grace through Jesus Christ; then you received and believed the word and that brings about the seal of that Holy Spirit of promised; it is meant to empower those who received and believed in Christ to become like Christ. John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name): It is called, do not touch mark; it is a danger sign against the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 105:14 (He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm). Christ means the anointed one; So, as soon as this seal comes up on us we also become the anointed one. Once you have this mark upon your life as an individual it makes it difficult for Satan and his agent to access you. But the irony of it, is that many believers are walking around thinking their mark is still visible but little do they know that Satan has either replaced it with his own or covered it. It is a covenant of promise and so long as you are walking in the covenant and continue in it, the mark will remain intact in your body but as soon as you walk out of the covenant you have removed yourself from the seal of covering. What the mark signifies is that the spirit of God is upon you and that Christ is living inside of you. Joel 2:28 (And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions): God promised to pour His spirit upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem and redemption has made you a spiritual Jew (Galatian 3:13-14; 29). This mark of Christ is put upon those who have given and surrender their life to Christ and those who have been dedicated to God from birth. That's why it is very important for parents to dedicate their children to God at birth so that they can be set apart for God. Apostle Paul knows the importance of this mark and that is why he announced to his troublers that he now has the mark of Christ and they should be aware. Galatians 6:17 (From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus). This mark is our identity; it is the name of Jesus that is given to us at redemption; so, If your name is Joshua John; you will now be called in the realm of the spirit Joshua John, Jesus, the anointed one. God knows who is His own because of this seal, so don't deceive yourself, if you don't have it, go for it now. 2 Timothy 2:19 (Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity). The only thing that can erase this mark is sin and that is why you are warned to stay away from iniquity. He said be ye holy for I am holy. Friends, now that you understand what this mark represents and how it works; do you want to get this mark? I have written and delivered the word that I am given this morning by the Holy Spirit. And you have read and understand it; now it is left for you to decide if you want this seal or not. It is a decision that you need to make by yourself; but I pray that you will choose to accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour today and receive his mark upon your life, in Jesus name. This salvation prayer below will help you to enter into that realm; please do it and be blessed, in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

THE BATTLE AXE OF GOD; PART 2

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;

Isaiah 41:15 (Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff). 

The irony of this journey is that many believers do not really know who they are; the kingdom of darkness knows us more than we know ourselves. They know that we are weapons of mass destruction against their kingdom. We are designed to conquer territory for Christ; we are the axe that was laid down to cut every evil tree that bears no good fruit (Matthew 3:10). The battle is real and we don't have a choice in this matter; as soon as we give our life to Christ we become his battle axe and ready for war; Satan and his agent will quickly get the signal that a new weapon has been made and release by God against them and they will quickly come against the individual before he or she will even make an attempt. They know you from far and they also know if you are sharp or blunt. They will try to convert you to be their weapon and if they think you will not agree they will try to destroy you quickly before you destroy them. So, do unto them before they do unto you; you don't want to be on the defensive side all the time; it is not a good side. So, anywhere you are sent to by our heavenly Father as a weapon; it is because you are capable of taking that particular territory for Him; as we know that no king of Persia will summit their territory to you without a fight. Even in your career, in your academic work and every area of your endeavour; you are ordained to dominate and to reign there as a weapon.  Sometimes you may walk into the enemy's territory without even knowing it but if you are sensitive in the spirit you will know that you are in the midst of the enemy. One thing for sure is that they will release an arrow to see how powerful and sharp you are as a weapon. The strategy is to quickly engage in silent prayer to silence them; and also to quickly take dominion over the environment by returning their arrow back to them seven fold (Deuteronomy 28:7). Remember the earth belongs to God and everything that is on it including the enemies (Psalm 24:1). You don't need to be a gentleman . It is a spiritual war; even if you are in the middle of conversation, pause or allow others to continue while you take care of the enemies. But the ideal situation is to always remember to take dominion before stepping out of your house. We are meant to take dominion over every environment we find ourselves in. Imagine you seeing those Chinese war swords; will you touch it; of course I know you know the danger of even getting close; the same way God wants us to be very sharp in a way that the enemy will surrender before getting close to them. You are designed for a different purpose; so, that place you found yourself you need to quickly take dominion so that you can be promoted. If the United States is in a war with Russia; they know the kind of weapon to send or use; the same way, God knows all His weapons of war and also knows which one to deploy when the need arises. The bigger your destiny the turfer the battle and if you cannot defeat the Goliath that is occupying your territory you won't be able to manifest your destiny. Demons are meant to tremble at our presence the same way they tremble at the presence of Jesus, because he says, John 14:12 (Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father). Our mouth is full of arrows as a believer; the word of God in our mouth is the arrow that we need. Luke 21:15 (For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist). Jesus Christ released the word of God against Satan and he left him alone. God said to Jeremiah that He has put His word in his mouth and that he should go ahead and destroy the kingdom with the word. Jeremiah 1:6 (Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7 But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant). He said to his disciples I will give you the word to speak in season. The Lord put a coal of fire in Isaiah´s tongue. The question is, how powerful is your tongue? The amount of the word of God you have in you is what determines how sharp you are as a weapon. David defeated Goliath with the  word of God before the  physical battle; our confidence to take territory as a weapon come from the word of God inside of us, Jesus Christ is the  power and wisdom of God; He is the word of God; to be an effective weapon he needs to be inside of you; because without him we can do nothing (John 15:5). Isaiah´s iniquity was taken away as soon as the coal touched his tongue (Isaiah 6:5-7). Our God does not use a weapon that is full of sin;  you are the light of  the world and your mission is to terminate the work of darkness but your iniquity has covered your light and therefore make it impossible for the word of God to operate through you. Friends, God is set to make a new sharp threshing instrument and I am sure it is you. Please make yourself available by reconnecting with Him by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

THE BATTLE AXE OF GOD, PART 1

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.

As we continue in this journey of life; the understanding of who we really are is what determines our victory because it is to us according to our level of understanding. Our victory lies in the understanding and the true knowledge of who we truly are as a believer. We know that our Father, Jehovah is a man of war and every warrior has a weapon they use depending on the nature of the enemies. We are in a war zone and the battle is between light and darkness; the bible said there was war in heaven and the dragon was defeated and chased down to earth and he is here with us going to and fro causing mayhem because he knew that his time is short and his mission is to draw as many to himself (Revelations 12:7-12). So the war continues here on earth and God has chosen us the believer as his weapon of warfare to finish this battle. 2 Samuel 1:27 (How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!) Saul and Jonathan his son were Godś battle axes but they perished on the battlefield because they were rejected by God due to Saul´s misconduct, but you will not perish on the battlefield in Jesus name. He is the blacksmith and we are the weapon of His warfare; we are His battle axe fit for a particular purpose. (Romans 9:20-23) 2Timothy 2:20 (But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work). As we all know that weapons are designed and made in size according to their purpose. We are not an accident, we are created for a purpose and the purpose is to war against the kingdom of darkness and that is why we don't have the power to choose the battle for ourselves. Isaiah 10:15 (Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood). If you truly know that you are Godś's battle axe you won't be complaining that you are fighting too many battles because if you are complaining to do what you are created for then you are telling God that you are not capable and that He should trash you out but that will not be you again in Jesus name. Many weapons have been trashed out by God either because they refuse to be sharpened or they complain of being used all the time; if your edge is blunt as a weapon and refuses to be whetted then you will become irrelevant and a burden. Ecclesiastes 10:10 (If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct). We are God's battle axe in order of King David, Moses and Joshua, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Deborah, Gideon, Paul and many more. We are His weapon of war that He uses to destroy kingdoms and conquer territories; as the swords are in the hands of a warrior so we are in the hand of the Almighty God. We cannot take His glory nor boast of any miracle or victory that God won through us as a weapon; that is why you need to make yourself available to be sharpened by God, otherwise, we will become irrelevant. But the scripture said that if the axe is blunt it is now useless and unable to cut down any leaf, not even talk of cutting trees. Matthew 3:10 (And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire). The word of God is your mouth is what makes you a battle axe; after He touched Jeremiah's mouth with a coal of fire; He said, he should go ahead and pull down thrones and kingdoms. Jeremiah 1:9 (Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant). God is still the same yesterday, today and forever; so, the amount of the word of God you have in you is what determines your sharpness as a weapon. Friends, it is time to cut down every satanic tree growing around your life, business and family; do it now before it is too late. Pray this prayer and personalize them as it relates to your situation. you, stagnation, you an evil tree and my heavenly father did not plant you in my life, therefore by the power in the name of Jesus, I uproot and destroy you now. You, controlling power, you an evil throne and you cannot rule over me; by the power in the blood of Jesus, I pull you down 2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;). Then begin to plant the good tree that you want to see and also begin to take authority and dominion over every evil throne. Addiction is an evil controlling power set to rule over its victim but you are coming out today in Jesus name. Meanwhile, if you have not given your life to Christ, you are not a weapon and cannot cut down any evil tree and also if you are blunt you need to be sharpened by reconnecting with your maker. Please do it by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

THE VOICE OF THE COVENANT

Hebrews 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Jeremiah 33:20 Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

The voice of the covenant is very loud and can break through any strong hold; it can break through heavens and nothing can stop it. What happen when God made a covenant with man is that they become one; they are bind together; whatever that happens to one affect the other; just like in marriage, a man leave his mother and his father,  and becomes one with his wife and no longer two; and in partnership whatever that happens to the business affect the two parties involve. Any pain one feels affects the others. So whenever a covenant child cries or afflicted God is afflicted too. That is why God said that he cannot ignore the crying of the children of Israel because of his covenant with Abraham. He heard their cry and felt their pain. The covenant says that anytime those taskmasters hit them they hit me also and I cannot endure this pain anymore. Exodus 3:7( And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; 8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites). So whatever you do now will have an effect on your generation whether good or bad. It is profitable to enter into a covenant with God; despite all the evil men keep doing, God did not destroy the earth because of His covenant with Noah. That is why at times you wonder why God is so tolerant seeing the evil that men are doing everyday; and you would be asking yourself why can't He just end this world; It is a covenant thing. He made a covenant with David that he will not lack an heir to his throne and that helps Solomon when he derails. So, the voice of the covenant is the voice of mercy; He speaks for mercy on behalf of the covenant seeds. Jeremiah 33:25 (Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them). Covenant with God is about making a decision to leave our old evil way and cleave to God in a marital relationship. Jeremiah 31:32 (Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they break, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD): Our covenant with God is sealed with the blood of Jesus. If the covenant of God with Abraham that was sealed with the blood of an animal could speak for the children of Israel how much more our covenant with Him which was sealed with the blood of Jesus that speaks better than the blood of Abel will speak for us (Hebrews 12:24). Without covenant your voice will be mute; it will not be heard by your neighbour, not even talk of God in heaven; so, the reason why God has not been hearing your cry is because you are not in a covenant with Him or maybe you have abandoned the terms and conditions of the covenant. Our God is a covenant keeping God; He remembers all His covenant with men. Aside from the Abrahamic covenant everyone is entitled to enter into a personal covenant with God. Job made a covenant with his eyes not to look at any maiden lustfully; Paul put himself under an oath; that he will not stop preaching the gospel. Every giant in the kingdom of God today has a personal covenant with God; He has not changed; He is still the same covenant initiator and a covenant keeping God.

 

The voice of a covenant is the voice of freedom; God cannot resist the voice of His covenant because it will be so loud and disturbing; it is like someone cutting your skin and pretending that you don't know; how is it possible. If God is feeling the pain you are feeling in that dry pit; then He will be in hurry to rescue you but without covenant you will be feeling the pain alone. The blood of Jesus was shed for our freedom and God remembered the covenant and vow to set the remaining prisoner free; so, if you are in a prison of addiction or any other habit; quickly lay hold on your strong hold for your freedom. Zechariah 9:9 (Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. 12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee); Friends, it is time to amplify your voice and you can only do that by entering into a marital relationship with God. It is time to divorce the world, say goodbye to the world and have the same voice with God because without His voice joining with yours it will never be loud enough to break through any stronghold. Genesis 2:24 (Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh). God wants you to become one with Him in order for you to become great; run quickly and accept His offer before it is too late. Pray this salvation prayer below and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

THE MARITAL VOW BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

 Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Covenant is a vow to be responsible; it is a declaration to be responsible, that is you taking an oath to be a responsible child of God. New birth marks an entrance into a covenant with God; it is the initiation into the covenant; you are now one with God and have entered into a marital relationship with Him; you have taken an oath by praying the salvation prayer and have agreed to marry Him and stay with Him till eternity. So, the salvation prayer is the marital vow between God and man; when you make that confession that you believe Jesus was sent by God and died for your sin and that you accept him to be your Lord and saviour; that is an oath statement and has a binding power.  God said it is through that confession that our marriage with Him can be established; which means without that confession there will be no relationship between us and God. Romans 10:9 (That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation). God has also made a vow to be committed to this relationship, to protect, to lead and to guide and cherish and to love you forever. Hebrews 13:5 (Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee). The scripture below is God´s marital vow to man and that is what new birth is all about; it is the letter of invitation to enter into a loving and intimate relationship with God. Mark 16:15 (And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 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. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen). Our God knows how to woo women, that is why we are called wo man; just like a young man trying to woo a lady to date him; every woman wants to be wooed, they want someone that will profess his love to them and God knows it too. He was saying to the disciple to go and tell the people of the world that He is in love with them and this is what He has to offer if they will agree to marry Him. Isaiah 43:1 (But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him). He said that He has everything that the man lacks and those things that will give them peace and joy. He says that He is our better half and we are His missing rib and without Him we cannot stand on our own (John 15:5). We are nothing without him. The love was so strong and anytime you are on the field winning soul for God you are actually looking for His missing rib. Jesus; why am I weeping writing this message; this topic is so emotional; I can feel His love all over me and I know someone's life is being transformed right now.  Just like when a woman is married, she takes up the name of her husband , the same applied to our marriage to God; He gives us His name  and everything bow to the name of Jesus. Whatever that cannot resist that name will not resist you and your breakthrough. You are no longer an ordinary person because there is a change of name and a change of status;  you are no longer single; you are now one with the king of glory; so every close gate is now lifting up their head for you to enter (Psalm 24:7-10). It is a wonderful thing to be married to God; so why wait; hurry up and accept His marriage proposal today by reciting this  marital vow below and begin to enjoy the fullness of God. 1 John 4:15 (Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 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).

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

THE BOOK OF COVENANT AKA THE TESTAMENT

Every covenant comes with a terms and conditions to be fulfilled in order to enjoy the fullness of the relationship; the bible contains the terms and condition of our covenant with God, it is called the book of covenant; the testament; and it contains both the old and new testaments. It is the will of our heavenly Father; the testimony, the truth and the proof of the actual event that happens in the relationship between God and man. The testament is not open to everyone; it can only be translated to the children of the kingdom, that is, the household of God. When a man dies his testament needs to be read; it can only be read in the presence of the family, both the adopted and the biological children. We are the adopted sons and daughters of the most high God and we have been made an heir to the throne so the book is open to us to learn what our entitlements are and what we need to do in order to be a full partaker of our inheritance in Christ. Ephesians 2:12 (That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God); The outsiders, strangers or foreigners cannot really understand the bible because the Spirit of God who is the interpreter of the testament is not dwelling in them. They will be using the bible as a book of argument or a history book. Jesus Christ has removed the veil that covers the book and so anyone who really wants to benefit fully from this relationship between God and man needs to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and saviour; and become a member of the household of God. He was slain so that you can have access to your inheritance; therefore to access them his Spirit needs to dwell in you and to open your eyes of understanding. Revelation 5:9 (And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing). You can be the children of the kingdom and yet not know what the term and condition of the covenant of promise is if you are not studying the testaments. The Bible is not a book of promise but a book of covenant of promise according to (Ephesians 2:12); There is always something for you to do in order to enter into the reality of this covenant. The first testaments was delivered to Moses on the platform of the blood of an animal and the new one which the fulfillment of the old covenant was delivered on the platform of the blood of Jesus; the real lamb of God. somebody paid the prize for you and me to become a member of the household of God and the condition to receive our own part of the inheritance is written in the testaments. Please stop behaving like a stranger; open your eyes of understanding and enter into the realities of this covenant of promise.how others obtained their riches is not your problem; you are a covenant child; you are from a decent home that runs on principles looking at stranger will only land you into problem and disinherit you. The scripture says in the book of Exodus 23:24 (Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images. 25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill. 27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee). The above is the condition stated in the testaments to enter into the blessing of Abraham; but my generation will not break down the images of the strange gods they were bowing to before given their life to Christ and the one that has destroyed the image will cross leg in the sanctuary waiting to be served and yet claiming Abraham blessings are theirs. Abraham blessings can never be yours until your own part of the testaments is fulfilled; May the LORD give us understanding in Jesus name. The terms and conditions are 50-50; yours is 50% fulfillment and God's own part is 50% also; the reality is that God's 50% is fully fulfilled but it is left for you to do your own part. If you fulfill 2% then you will receive 4% out of your 100% inheritance. It is to you according to the level of your compliance to the agreement; so, you are the one holding yourself. God is not raising irresponsible children; in this kingdom we work and there is no room for idleness. My God shall supply all your need is for those who give to further the course of the kingdom but you will not see what the Macedonia church did that provoke that blessing upon them yet you are claiming it. It is time to stop playing games with the covenant; let's get serious so that we can be a good example for those who are still outside the covenant. God told Joshua this book shall not depart from you, learn it and know what to do to prosper (Joshua 1:8). They that received and believed in Christ Jesus are the sons and daughters of God (John 1:12); there is always something to do to provoke the blessing of God upon our lives. Friends, do you want to be part of the household of God? I have good news for you, there is room for you and God is waiting for you to be part of His family; please hurry up and pray these salvation prayers below and be blessed in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

WALKING IN THE COVENANT; PART 4 (THE MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND MAN)

Isaiah 54:5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

The relationship between man and God is like a covenant of marriage between a husband and a wife. The bible said we are the bride of Christ and that our God is our husband. Husband is meant to love, respect and cherish his wife and the same thing goes to the wife. Love is meant to be two sided and not one sided and that is what makes it a covenant so there is something each parties need to do.  God is always grieving because we refuse to understand the terms and conditions of His marriage covenant with us and that's why we continue to betray him every step of the way. Genesis 2:24 (Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh). We are part of Him because it is written concerning husband and wife that two shall become one flesh. The devil understands our relationship with God better than we do; that's why he wants so bad for us to betray our husband. But I know that someone will get a better understanding of this marriage today, in Jesus name. I felt emotional meditating on this particular topic like never before while writing; I wept because I could feel the love of God for man and the pain He has to go through whenever we betray Him in this relationship. Apostle Paul understood this marriage relationship very well; He said don't you know that God is living inside of you; when you defile His temple you chase Him out, you separate yourself from Him as soon as you go flirting with the world. 1 Corinthians 3:16 (Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are). The reason why your holiness is in contention is because the number one rules that guides this relationship between God and man is godliness; and since Satan know that God cannot dwell in a filthy house what he does, is to make sure that you are defiled. 1 Corinthians 6:15 (Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit). Have you ever been betrayed before by your spouse? God is ready to defend His wife; He is ready to cut off the head of any devil in order to defend His honour but He will not do that because of a cheating wife. Isaiah 43:1 (But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life). If you understand this marriage covenant very well you will defeat any devil that comes to defile you or to affect you because that is trespassing. You have to constantly display your marriage certificate and your wedding band. You are meant to cleave with your husband in good or in bad; that's what God explained to us in the above scripture.  As soon as you give your life to Jesus you have been giving a new name, a new identity. Whatever name they used to call you before is no longer you and also you have a change of address; you are now living in the palace with the king of kings. You are now the new bride; you have become a royalty with a title attached to your name. A queen who allow a palace guard or a slave to defile her is no longer worthy to be called queen. The only way you can sustain the love of God in your life is to maintain your honour by keeping your bed undefiled; don't invite the devil into your matrimonial bed and then anger your husband which is God.  Hebrews 13:4 (Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge). The Israelite could not be cursed by Balak and Balaam because the LORD did not see iniquity in them but the same Balaam tells Balak what to do to defiled them.; Balaam did that because he had collected gift from Balak and he had to pay one way or the other. Numbers 23:21 (He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought)! Revelation 2:14 (But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication). So, there is nothing Satan will not do in order to separate you from your husband; remember he separated Adam and Eve from God in the first marriage and he has not repented; he is still doing the same thing today even in this new marriage between us and God. The only way to preserve your marriage is to stick to the terms and condition of this covenant by  studying and continuing study of the book of covenant which is the bible (Joshua 1:8). Friends, if you are not married to God you are outside the covenant which means you are not a king nor a queen and cannot lay hold on your inheritance; but i have a good news for you; God is still sending out proposal to those who are willing to be his wife and He promise to love and cherish such individual. So , hurry up and come into His palace by reciting these marital vows below and become His wife. 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

WALKING IN THE COVENANT PART 3

THE REAL COVENANT CHILDREN

Genesis 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

As a believer; we are the real covenant children; we are the children that came out of the covenant that God had with Abraham; we are the children of obedience and as we all know that covenant can become null and avoid if one party decide to stop performing his or her own part of the deal. There is a consequence for anyone who defaults in this covenant; The terms and condition is like a two edged sword; it cuts both ways; there is good and bad; blessings and curses; life and death. There is no middle ground; If you are not obedient to the covenant that means you are automatically in disobedience and also liable to suffer in the punishment reserved for the children of disobedience. The children of disobedience are those who despise the covenant or fail to fulfil their obligation but that will not be you in Jesus name. Ephesians 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): Those who fail to fulfil their obligation and those who have not entered into the covenant belongs to the same category. An irresponsible covenant child is not allowed to share in the inheritance.; he cannot be an heir to the throne of our dear God. by faith we are ordained to reign with Jesus as heir to the throne. Galatians 3:13 (Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith). Jesus Christ took our place in the cross so that we would nor be hanged; rejecting his sacrifice is hanging yourself; you are saying to God that you don't want to have any relationship with Him. Galatians 4:28 (Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free). Our freedom came as a result of the sacrifice of Jesus in the cross of calvary; the heir is the one that died for the sin of the whole world and to be a joint heir with him you need to surrender your life to him. The scripture said that we can only enter into the covenant of promise by faith through Christ. The spirit of adoption needs to enter into you so that you can become a son with full entitlement to your inheritance. Galatians 4:5 (To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ). The love of God is so sweet and if you have never experienced it you may never have the opportunity to know what true love feels like. Friends here is another opportunity for you to enter into a covenant with God and experience his undying love by praying this salvation prayer below

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen

WALKING IN THE COVENANT PART 2

 THE COVENANT KEEPING GOD

Genesis 8:20 And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done. 22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer, and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

We serve a covenant keeping God who has never defaulted in His covenant with his creatures; the first covenant that God initiated in the bible was provoked by the action of a man called Noah; Noah found grace in sight of God and that brought about the second chance that God gave to man. God is constantly looking for a man that He can use to save people whether in our family or our community. It takes a heart of obedience to be found by God because our heart is the connecting link between us and God. Man is very deceptive and very skilled in eye service; so, God is looking into the heart and not what our mouth says or does when someone is watching us. The difference between His covenant during the time of Noah and the covenant He made with Abraham is that; when Noah presented his sacrifice and it was accepted, God made a covenant between Him and  every human being and all the creatures that Noah saves from the flood but His covenant with Abraham was personal; it was between him and God alone and it covers only the seed of Abraham. God was very generous with His covenant in the time of Noah; so both good and bad people are covers with this covenant; that is why the rain do fall both on the wicked and the good people; the wicked eat and drink water so long the earth remain and God has no plan of changing this covenant but He always find a way of amending His covenant. Man will not stop being wicked so He chose another person in the person of Abraham and initiated a relationship with him. Abraham's willingness to follow and obey God is what brings about the promise of an heir who will reign forever. The key to walk in the reality of the covenant of Abraham is obedience; the terms and conditions were stated in the book of (Deuteronomy 28:1-64). Deuteronomy 28:1 (And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth): You need to pass the test of patience, endurance, faith and and many more before you can benefit from this covenant. The children of Israel went through the wilderness in order to pass all this test. The covenant continued until the new covenant came and Jesus Christ said  he did not come to do away with the old covenant but to fulfil it. Matthew 5:17 (Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil). The same way Abrahamś covenant with God does not make His covenant in the time of Noah irrelevant. Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the old covenant; he was the covenant seed that was to reign forever. Jesus Christ is the real heir and we are joint heir with him through faith in him; so we enter into the covenant through Jesus. The scripture says that as Isaac is so we are; Galatians 4:28 (Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise). The fall brought curses to man through Adam and the covenant brought blessing to us through Jesus Christ. The new covenant is sealed with an oath, the blood of Jesus is the seal and that is why to enter into it; you need to be redeemed from the sinful Adamic curses by the blood of Jesus and then enter into the blessing of Abrahamic covenant. Galatians 3:13 (Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith). God's plan was to return man to his old estate which is the Garden of Eden but it takes the Spirit of God to enter there and it is only those who are born of God that are qualified to be there. John 3:4 (Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again).

He amended the covenant by sending His only begotten son that anyone who believed in him and received him will have the Spirit of God in him. There are two different human beings on earth; one is called the covenant children and the other is called the children of disobedience; and everyone has the right to choose which one to belong to. Ephesians 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): Friends; the good news is that you can  choose to walk in the covenant instead of walking according to the prince of the power of the air (Satan). Become a covenant child today by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour in case you have not and be blessed in Jesus name. 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen
