GOD'S MYSTERY

"Even the mystery which had been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints." (Eph 6:26)
 
Until it is revealed, it remains a mystery or hidden. Glory be to God for His Spirit's revelation of mysteries to believers especially those who love and wait on Him. (Is 64:4; 1Cor 2:9-10)

"But God has revealed them to us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God." (1Cor 2:10)

The believer's love for God is expressed in waiting on Him in prayer, Thanksgiving and praise. The longer the waiting, the greater love is displayed and abundantly the Blessings.

This had been my experience and encounter in the past few weeks of Retreat. The most mysterious revelation is in the Name of Jesus, the Glory of God in the saints.

The most revealed of recent:
1. Vengeance is of God. Heb 10:30
2. Focus on Souls. Mt 24:14
3. Nothing but Believing. Mt 21:22
4. Not I but Christ. Gal 2:20
5. No Vain Calling of Jesus. Phil 2:10
6. All about JESUS. Jn 15:5
7. Isaiah 64:1-4; 1Cor 2:9&10

Search more references and study more on the above mystery revelations prayerfully and meditatively for serious Kingdom NETWORK advancement in Jesus' Name.

CRUELTY OF UNBELIEF

This generation needs the greatest of faith than the best education of the world system!

Mt 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

 Mt 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.

 Mr 6:6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
 Mr 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

 Mr 16:14 ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. {at meat: or, together}

NEW ORIENTATION EMERGED

Miss Dinah (Didi ‘Yar Gata) Arin Adams

The blog neworientation1.blogspot.com was Dinah’s proposition; she suggested it to me and I became committed or even addicted to it. By the grace of God Almighty, it went in line with His original intent with my calling or ministry of the Gospel of the Kingdom.

The ministry, Boiling Point Gospel Centre, formerly known as Total Gospel Assembly (TOGA), had experienced various processes of Spiritual transformative scrutiny. At the point of the development of this blog, much focus had been attained and a clearer direction to advance the Gospel of the Kingdom of God became more than just a hypothesis but an attempt to practice it with Faith rigor and boldness.

If you have been following us on this blog, you will realize that we are cutting across all life avenues with the aim of allowing God to use us to radically change the mentality of many from every form of worldliness to God’s Originality!

For so many whom the world had been ruling in terms of approach to wisdom, knowledge, wealth, fame and the like; they may consider the New Orientation as flimsy, shortsighted, foolish and critically offensive. But to those who are open to God’s purpose for their lives will consider this a rare privilege for further discovery and application of the divine for a fulfilled destiny.

Since its inception on Sunday, December 28, 2014; almost on a daily basis, postings had been regular. The Lord had graciously granted us an audience, though we are still travailing for a much wider outreach worldwide. And as you participate by reading this printed version of the blog, we believe it will be your goodwill to advance this course further.

I give God Almighty all the glory, honor and adoration for this initiative and dedicate both the internet and printed versions of the New Orientation to first and foremost to God Almighty, Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit and to the faith community! And to my biological daughter and sister in the Lord; Miss Dinah (Didi ‘Yar Gata Arin Adams) who designed, developed and still manages it. It was Inaugurated On her Send Forth Prayer, July 11, 2015, preparatory to her marriage to Brother Arinze Eloji, July 18, 2015, in JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME.

GOD'S QUERY OF UNBELIEF

De 1:32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,

 2Ki 17:14 Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

 2Ch 20:20 ¶ And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

 2Ch 32:15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

 Job 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

BELIEVE GOD ALMIGHTY

Ex 4:1 ¶ And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.

 Ex 4:5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

 Ex 4:8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

 Ex 4:9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

 Ex 19:9 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

 Nu 14:11 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

FAITH'S TENACITY

 1Jo 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

 Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

 Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

 Re 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

 Re 2:19 I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

 Re 13:10 He that leadeth into
captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

 Re 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

FAITH PERFORMANCE

CHRIST'S GRACE OF FAITH

Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

 Col 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

 Col 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

 1Th 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

 1Th 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

 1Th 3:6 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

 1Th 3:7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

INCREDIBLE FAITH WORKS

 Ga 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 Ga 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 Eph 1:15 ¶ Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

 Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

 Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

 Eph 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

 Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

 Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

 Php 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

THE BENEFITS OF FAITH

 Ga 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

 Ga 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

 Ga 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

 Ga 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

 Ga 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

 Ga 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

 Ga 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

 Ga 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

 Ga 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

 Ga 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

 Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

 Ga 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

 Ga 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

 Ga 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

 Ga 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

FAITH'S DYNAMISM

 1Co 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

 1Co 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

 1Co 16:13 ¶ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

 2Co 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

 2Co 4:13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

 2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

 2Co 8:7 ¶ Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

 2Co 10:15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, {enlarged...: or, magnified in you}

 2Co 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?

 Ga 1:23 But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

 Ga 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified

 Ga 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

THE FAITH POWER

 Ro 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 Ro 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

 Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

 Ro 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith
 Ro 14:1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. {not...: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts}

 Ro 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

 Ro 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

 Ro 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

 1Co 12:9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

MAINTAIN THE FAITH RIGOR

Ro 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

 Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

 Ro 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

 Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}

 Ro 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

 Ro 14:1 ¶ Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. {not...: or, not to judge his doubtful thoughts}

 Ro 14:22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

 Ro 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. {doubteth: or, discerneth and putteth a difference between meats} {damned: or, condemned, or liable to punishment}

 Ro 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

 1Co 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. {stand: Gr. be}

 1Co 12:9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

FAITH AND BELIEVING CON"TD

Ro 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

 Ro 1:12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

 Ro 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 Ro 3:3 For what if some did not
believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

 Ro 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

 Ro 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

 Ro 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

 Ro 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

 Ro 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

 Ro 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

 Ro 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

 Ro 4:9  Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

 Ro 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all

THE MINISTRY OF BELIEVERS

It is very disheartening to see many Christians living in perpetual disgrace and fear due to ignorance; lack of understanding their role of God’s purpose for their lives. The believer’s purpose is simply the practice of the life style of the Christ. Anything outside of this in Christianity is only religion. And many Christians still think that the Messiah came to introduce a religion, and that is why every activity in the church is considered as God’s service. This is a wrong concept of the Christian life and ministry.

If the believers must become like Jesus in everything they practice, then it is necessary to understand His ministry.   “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Mt 1:21) The Hebrew meaning of JESUS is savior. Therefore, the focus of the ministry of our Lord Jesus is to save us from our sins. Well, as believers, we must already know the necessity for our salvation; and also pass it to others!

As soon as we are saved, we are then called to discipleship. “…If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed…”  (Jn 8:30) It is expected that every believer must hold on to faith in God through Christ Jesus. Our faith continuity implies a serious duty to carry out in obedience the teachings of our Master; hence accepting the task of becoming His disciples uninterruptedly.

We must deal with a problem that had kept many Christians redundant, lukewarm or entirely idle. This is the mentality of thinking that strict Christ-likeness; the very ministry of Jesus; preaching, teaching, healing the sick, and so on is left to the ministers only.

This is never the way the Lord intended it to be carried out.  “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” (1Cor 12:27). As members of the body of Christ, none of us should be exempted in this wonderful stewardship privilege. “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.” (1Cor 12:28)

What are all these responsibilities about? “Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.” (1Cor 14:12). Edifying the church is all about advancing God’s Kingdom and His righteousness here on earth. 

And this task hangs around every believer’s neck! We recall a typical example of how Jesus delegated the first disciples the preaching assignment in Matthew 10. “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” (verses 7,8). These were not ‘ordained’ men of God. They were simply followers of Jesus; obedient to His invitation to abide by His teachings.

This is also what is expected of all Christians. If the church would embrace our Lord’s approach to the ministry, many Christians would not be idle; playing draft, ‘ludo,’ and other games all day long; only to remain benchwarmers as ‘Sunday-Sunday club members!’

What is then the role of church leadership? This is still relevant; it is of great importance. The shepherds should simply emulate the same Master Jesus. He taught us to lead the flock as good stewards. (Jn 10:11-16; Jn 21:17; Ac 20:28; 1Pe 5:2). Leading and feeding the flock truly implies getting the congregations to learn to be active in God’s Kingdom enforcement; ensuring that no member of the body is wasting away; not giving the enemy a single moment to entice them into unprofitable labor which will end up in vain glory!

Finally, the believers must therefore attain the level of having definite assurance of their salvation, and also maintain the standard of the Christian testimony of serving God; winning souls and making disciples of others; wherever they find themselves, the example of Jesus should remain the focus! Until it is done this way, escaping the danger of hell fire would be impossible.  And we know that this is the very purpose of Christ’s coming into world; so that we do not perish but have eternal life. (Jn 3:15-21)

GODLY SHEPHERDING

I believe it's also good shepherding for pastors to monitor the dressing lifestyles of their church members to administer godly discipline or regular corrective  measures, our society will look more decent to God's Glory than what it is now!

I have realized that most young people are not guided by Spiritual stewards but are left at the mercy of ungodly peer groups and mentors.

Let's pay the price of our calling, it's not that burdensome if only we venture into it by faith in Jesus's Mighty Name! Amen!!!

Kingdom Stewardship

If the Devil wasn't cautious to drag people into sinfulness, as God's steward, I should be more radically critical to people's evil lifestyles.

Without apology, I frown at all immorality and shameless indecency among the beloved sisters of the Heavenly fold.

 Don't be carried away by false impression of the western world of nudity as a way achievement! Let's remain content to our godly cultures as God's people in Jesus's Mighty Name!

INDEPENDENT BONDAGE

A people's deviation from God is a definite and deliberate enslavement to the devil's world system. Hear what God said to the Jews who asked for a king to rule over them instead of God's servants;

1 Samuel 8:11 - "And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots." World's government method of civil rule!

In the same manner Christ Jesus spoke to the disciples  (including today's church)  about leadership tussle in Luke 22:25 - "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors."

Where is the Independence so much spoken of by nations when divine rule is disregarded and deliberately despised? How can a system originated and established by rebellion against God serve and fulfill the yearnings of the people?

The Spiritual Implications of this gross drift by God's people is the present bondage of toiling in endless captivity in the hands of Satanists.

The answer is only found in the ministry of Jesus Christ who clearly announced Himself as the Way, Truth and Life! His Kingdom principles are also clearly spelt out in His teachings! Let's return to that RIGHT PLACE! AMEN!!!

NETWORK TOUR UPDATE 2019

Brethren, Glory be to God forever! The NETWORK TOUR was marvelous with great challanges but with testimonies. Let me summarize some of the necessary encounters and concerns for your prayers and Support in Jesus' Name!

1. The Necessity of Visitations:  Everywhere visited are in need of spiritual encouragement  and material supports. We need to continue to sacrifice our lives for the sake of the brethren in the fields of God's Vineyard in difficult ministry terrains!

2. Ministries in rural areas for instance in the Evangelical Love Ministries of Taraba and Adamawa and GGC Plateau and Bauchi etc seriously need workers, schools, structures for workers shelter and churches.

3. The Prison Ministry of Past Lawrence in Lafia Nasarawa State and other prisons within our reach need more than ordinary or usual attention. Extraordinary measures spiritually and physically that must lead to total liberty are very paramount.

4. World Influences had weakened the Faith and love in churches across the crisis affected areas. One can hardly see the difference between a believer and an idol worshipper. All had turned into formalities and hypocrisy. This is affecting the effort of genuine ministries.

5. From the deduced and many more, we thank God for the courage of the brethren in the fields. Let us intensify prayers for a mighty REVIVAL in the land without which satanic activities will continue to prevail. Please plan for special support as led by the Holy Spirit as a priority as soon as possible.

Thanks and Blessings for your prayers and Support!

HURRY NOT IN MINISTRY

As I pray this midnight hour, I hear the Holy Spirit say,
"Don't be in a hurry to see Me manifest in Power in your life. Noah was 500 years old before his ministry was mentioned in the Bible.

Abraham was 75-100 years in the calling before God's Promise was fulfilled. Moses was 80 years old before he was sent to deliver the Jews from captivity.

David was anointed, but it took many years before he was crowned king. Christ Jesus Himself started ministry when He was 30 years old and finished His work in  3 years." What lesson are we to get from all these?

WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHED OR RETIRED,  MAY BE IT'S THEN TIME FOR YOU TO START THE WORK!

MAKE CERTAINTY OF HEAVEN

Considering the number of years one had been in church and hardly can many give assurance of salvation after this life!

It was the dilemma some of us passed through until a radical transformation was granted permission from within by the Holy Spirit!

Seeing what is going on in lots of church circles today, one wonders how many of the millions who are "Christians" will truly go to heaven.

We don't have to narrate the so many spiritual setbacks that had settled down or are permitted as church activities deceiving people as guaranty to heaven!

Today many had been caged by doctrines and are unable to accept biblical truth. They chose to believe the church authorities than Christ's!

I PRAY God in Jesus' Name, that His Merciful kindness speedup the highly expected REVIVAL to flood in the church before the coming of the Messiah. Amen!

NON-THEOLOGICAL DISCIPLESHIP

It had been long a divine impression in my heart to start a non-theological Institute for a fierce overthrow of what is commonly obtainable for decades. Although, this idea is already operational in many ministries, it is still foreign around here.

The concept of the Institute is not debatable in scholarly dimensions, but simply biblical and strictly Christ-Centred. In essence, the teachings and ministry of Christ Jesus in the Holy Ghost is the intended focus.

One can still describe the concept in terms of everything outside the seminary, secular Acedamic and conventional school curriculums! What a wild and strangest move. But it is the restoration of God's Kingdom originality to the Church!

No secular educational qualifications are required. One's Faith in Christ Jesus and being filled or baptized with the Holy Spirit are the basic requirements.

We use this forum to inform our numerous friends and partners to pray along and prepare for the program which will be inaugurated very soon. Details of processing are on the way. Thanks

THE EMERGENCE OF GOD'S SONS

 As I review my book Everyday With the Holy Spirit Vol 2, this statement in one of the chapters carried my attention with regards to what the whole is passing through today as a result of God's people rejecting His precepts and ordinances! 

"Jeremiah saw it thousands of years back, and cried out;

“Many pastors have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden my portion underfoot they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. They have made it desolate; and being desolate, it mourneth unto Me, the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.” (Jer 12;10-13). KJV

There had never been a time when nations and their rulers groan and weep in utter desperation and hopelessness than in our present dispensation. It is an age you would expect knowledge, science, money and intellectual, political and military power would solve all human dilemma. But to everyone’s crashing hope and disappointment, humanity had returned into a total dark age, it can hardly find its way to true Light. 

The world’s acclaimed so-called civilization has already taken a monstrous and barbaric dimension. The world leaders lament and mourn in terrible fears of incessant calamities which they themselves were the chief architects, and because they have rejected the King of kings and the Lord of lords, they are busy building empires on the sand; believing in their effort to defend their territorial limitations."

It is never too late tyo be restored to Divine Originality to salvage the Earth as promised by God in His New Covenant for us!

NEW COVENANT OF CHRIST

Jeremiah 31:31+
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
For finding fault with them, he saith,

Hebrews 8:8+
 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

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.

Matthew 26:28+
For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mark 14:24+
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:20+
Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

1 Corinthians 11:25+
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Hebrews 9:15+
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

THE TRAGEDIES OF FEASTS AND CEREMONIES

 

Learn from David of old, How he absconded the feast of the New Moon to escape the wrath of King Saul who had vowed to kill him.(1Sam 20).

Take a look at what Jesus did during the feast of the Passover at age twelve in Luke 2. He gave a new fulfillment and meaning to that traditional custom by demonstrating Divine ability before the learned of His time.

Also read John 7 and see how Jesus refused to attend another feast base on divine timing.But the moment He was there, another divine fulfillment took place.

Paul also in Colossians 2:16 admonished, "So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ."

Friends, we must be resolved to have Christ Jesus to remain our focal point of Faith to escape the tragedies of religious and societal inventions which are majorly characterised by demonic setups, activities and subsequent sinfulness and death

Christ-Centred Ministry involves serious sacrifice for sake of millions who are lost in the dark world. The salvation of souls should replace every tradition and doctrine. Due to increased evil, the job seems to be impossible.

But the promise of the outpour of the Holy Spirit on all flesh in Joel 2 is our unfailing hope. Behold the sky is getting darker and darker moment by moment and the great showers had started all over the place. Hallelujah! Amen and Amen!!!!!  

WORLD SYSTEM FRUSTRATED

All that the cosmic order planned, acclaimed, and stood for, for decades had turned to shambles and woes!  There will be more confusion in the world of sin and unrighteousness; darkness, chaos, dryness, and vacuums will continue to prevail, and the Holy Spirit will continue to brood over God’s creation as well; this will cause much traumatic concern to the heathen nations and make many to return to the everlasting plan of Jehovah God through Christ Jesus! Amen!!

Watch out, who is greater than Jehovah; whatever name they bear, they represent Satan and his dark kingdom; they are becoming greatly obsolete and unfashionable like the chaff which the wind carries away. There will be no place for them until they all return to Jesus for mercy or they all go to hell together with the prince of darkness!

Children of the Most High God, fear not, rejoice than ever, and let’s celebrate victory for our salvation, and pray for the Lord of the harvest to use us and send trustworthy labourers into the very ripen harvest. Amen!!!
