The Manifestation of the Sons of God

-
For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.(Rom 8:5) And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness (Rom 8:10).

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Rom 8:16-19),

We strain for significance is carnal. The striving for material things is vanity. The one thing we overlook is this. The transformation and manifestation of the Sons of God. Unknown, their lives are hidden in Christ. They seek no titles or credit, pulpit or office for their office is in Christ. They seek no promotion or elevation for Christ has seated them in heavenly places. They may not own houses, gold, stocks and shares for they are partaken of a heavenly inheritance where moth dust and thieves cannot steal or take away. They are the owners of eternal things, possessing nothing they have all things. Theses are they who have their robes made of white, dipped in blood. man cannot kill them and death cannot hold them. Martyrdom cannot defeat them and religion cannot hold them. Welcome to the manifestation of the true Sons of God.  (Col 3:3 Ephesians 2:6 Rev 7:14).

The Place of COMPASSION in our Preaching

  I sat where they sat (Ezekiel 3;15). EzekieL 'Strength of GOD' and strong he was, He went to Tel Abib and sat where the people sat  for seven days in silence. To learn and discover their ways. Before he could preach and warn he had to perfect the Word in him. It is easy for the preacher to say what's on his mind instantaneously and in quick response, just take a look at Facebook many are quick to right what they see as wrong yet will not take the time to sit and wait in order to understand and connect to those to whom he is sent. Ezekiel was sit where they sat in order to learn about them what he did not know. Oh how easy it is to be quick to preach too yet slow to consider and show respect or love.  Many shut theIr eyes yet open wide their lips. Its easier to hurt rather than connect and restore. its easier to defend ones faith than win a soul. they indulge in sever truth telling as if its a medal to display. forgetting that the master on the cross displayed love that wo

Where are the MOTIVATORS

-
  SELF HELP AND SUCCESS IN THE PULPIT I see many complaints about today’s preachers who preach success, prosperity in life.as if preaching these things dumbs down the gospel. I believe that MOTIVATIONAL preaching has its place. ARE ALL APOSTLES? (1 COR 12;29-31) I think preaching on success  and prosperity in life is as much the pastors responsibility as it is preaching salvation holiness. The pastor has to be a motivator, and preach motivational, as much as he preaches doctrine and doctrinally. If a man preaches all doctrine and standards then folks have no practical standards by which to hold onto and follow. Teaching that is not practical and real cannot be embraced no matter how deep it is. Don't mistake holiness  for Godliness. Oftentimes legalistic rules are of the flesh. Spiritual things can be of the flesh. Motivational based sermons make adventurers, risk takers, mountain movers people with a can-do spirit. Motivation based teaching can give us the drive and energy to to m

God is Doing It...Can You See It?

 Behold I make all things New The new year came and gone, well the one day we call new year day, came and gone, Man was filled with hope and vision as indeed the world is at this time, where we express our optimism and share our hope of a better tomorrow. Of course it is but another day, Nature does not take another path, the sun does not stop shining, the morning follows the night, just as it always has. the moon and stars appear and disappear as they always have. I fear that in our routine we miss the remarkable. Nature all around us expresses the remarkable faithfulness of God. Nature in fact announces God's faithfulness and its newness every day. To God every day is a new day. Lamemtations 3 'his mercies never fail, they are new every morning, great is they faithfulness.' just a look up and we will see the faithfulness of God in offering new opportunities on a daily basis to us mere man. The ringing out of the new and the bringing in of the new is our own idea of course
