IMITATION HORRORS

I pray that whatever I declare in my write ups fulfills God's Kingdom MISSION to save someone from satan, sin and death in Christ's Name. Amen!

The greatest setback ever in humanity is the rebellion against the Creator God Almighty and the drift of aligning with fellow humans!

When God's Kingdom principles are forsaken, humanity takes pleasure in imitations. This results in ungodly competition, men subjecting each other to various slavery and cruelty!

Adam listened to his wife because God's Word was no longer his heart's focus. So he imitated his wife to commit evil against God!

The popular views are the most highest attractions for imitations. The Bible states;
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." (Matthew 7:13) NLT

No wonder, they hold on to the ungodly slogans; "The majority carries the votes." "One with the majority is the best." But of a truth, the result or outcome of the popular vote had not always been the best, because .of its human inventions!

It is the imitation mentality that drives many people away from God. This is common in politically motivated arrangements including church circles. The choice of disregarding God's instruction becomes much easier at the detriment of obedience to Him.

Imitations had caused serious havoc in many a genuine ministry, family lifestyles, dressing, educational pursuits, music, culture, etc. Today one can hardly figure out any human endeavor that is devoid of imitations!

Only a very insignificant few will notice the damage done to God's Kingdom Originality in many potential individuals in the world today as a result of imitations. This is the cause of the high loss of new ideas and inventions!

Why? Because almost everyone else thinks they are pursuing the right cause of their lives. And it doesn't need a guess, it's been vicious circles of ups and downs!

Can you imagine if everyone had discovered God's plan and purpose for life and resisted the imitation mentality, the world would have been the replica of Heaven on Earth! 

TRUE REPRESENTATIVES OF GOD

Brethren, It's very necessary and essential for believers in Christ Jesus to constantly acknowledge and hold on to the highest responsibility of representing God Almighty on Earth.

It's disastrous and deceptive to be called Christian but live and function contrary to the nature and mission of God for mankind according to the ministry of Christ Jesus.

Jesus said, if we have faith in God and in Him, doing His works and even greater works will not be impossible for us. John 14:12. Believing is the standard of divine representation for believers on Earth.

On my daily journey among believers, it's seriously pathetic to hear unbelieving expressions among Christians. Sometimes I wonder what kind of faith people represent.  How can you be born of God and speak contrary to Him as God Almighty?

Faith represents Heaven on Earth, it's the Government of God in Christ through the church. It's no longer vain and abstract but valid and absolute expression and definite administration. The world system is speedily fading away and the whole creation is in high expectation of the manifestation of the Sons of God to His Glory. Amen!

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Brethren, How can we have and keep our relationship with God? Often times we think we love God and we are sure we relate with Him well, but truly speaking the commitment is very inadequate.

Let's consider the words of Christ Jesus; "Not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21)

There are just so much religious activities going on today and many are deceived thinking by them they  have fellowship or communion with God and that will take them to Heaven, but it's far from the truth.

In most cases people make meaningless noises before God in the name of worship, but hardly pay attention to what He says to the church. In fact listening to God is the greatest challenge to believers. If only we can hear Him well, we would be more faithful in obedience to His Word and service.

A true relationship with God has to do with talking to Him and listening to Him, one without the other disrupts and hinders a rewarding relationship. In listening, we must allow ourselves to be confined to God's presence Spiritually.

The exercise of keeping one's heart empty for God's Spirit to have space to occupy is a great necessity. Both external and inner noises must be kept away on a constant basis. If  this is done, then Unreserved submission is sealed and unshakeable and irrevocable ministry of Christ in the believers stands forever. Amen.

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD

Brethren,  Can we describe how much we love God? Someone once asked Jesus about  the great commandment. 

"Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." (Matthew 22:37); Mark and Luke added, "...with all your strength."

Until our love for God is perfectly defined, our love for each other will fail to work. 

The Holy Spirit reveals more. We must know God Almighty before we can love Him. Do you really know Him as it ought to be? It's a very hard thing to know. And so loving God becomes the most difficult Spiritual discipline.

True knowledge of God produces serious commitment of love with all the heart, soul, mind and strength. But what does this mean and how can it be done? 

As crucial as the matter sounds, the Holy Spirit therefore needs to have uninterrupted access in one's heart, spirit or being. You must freely grant permission to Him without divided interest or attention. 

Let God's Word by His Spirit guide you to have entrance into the mystery of love in Christ Jesus. Amen!
