In GOD We Live....

Enjoy the FREEDOM  that God has given you  in Christ Jesus always.

The water Jesus Christ offers us is of everlasting (permanent) benefits and satisfaction; ultimately eternal life. Therefore, Come to the well of salvation today and drink of the living water and get evetlasting satisfaction. Ref: John 4:13-14 (Msg) 13 Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. 14 Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst - not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."

Ref: John 1: 8-13 Purpose of the light John was not the light but sent to testify about the light (the Word) v9 the True light which will enlighten everyone. The purpose of the light is to enlighten and that was what he was coming into the world to do. His rejection v. 10 unfortunately the world did not recognise the presence of the light or benefit from his presence or purpose. v11 even his own did not recognise him or receive him. His acceptance v12-13 those who receuve him and believe, he gave power/right to become the children of God. another benefit is that these people get enlightened, they shine, they become relevant, cannot be ignored also because the function of light is also overcome darkness and it cannot overcome them.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Galatians 5:22-23 Against the works of the flesh, the Holy Spirit produces the fruit mentioned above in our lives as children of God. If these fruit manifest in our lives, we have an identity of Christ. It shows that we are indeed children of God. It is by the fruit found in us or we manifest that we are identified as children of God. What kind of fruit can be found in you? ...By their fruit you shall know them (maybe we are true children of God or not)

One day, at a time you and I do not know, the king, Jesus Christ will come. How ready are you? https://youtu.be/zGYJZ4HCurE

Ref: Ephesians 5:19-21 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. What this tells us is that if we want to inherit (have, live, experience) the kingdom of God, we have to depart from, denounce, flee, resist and overcome the works of the Flesh. God's grace is sufficient for us. With God nothing is impossible. Amen.

1 Timothy 1:8 NIV "We know that the law is good if one uses it properly" The Law is put in place to keep human activities in check as we know it is everyone that is yet a child of God or led by the Spirit of God. Therefore, the law is useful to guide, correct or reprimand; it is good and useful for the society to have orderliness. So when we as children of God break the law, we face the consequences or penalty for breaking the law because at that point we have subjected ourselves to the law. How will it now be said/seen after we have confessed or professed ourselves to be children of God that we are found falling short of the law. Such as breaking traffic rules, stealing, indulging in extra marital affairs, cheating, killings, falsification or forgery, scams, etc. The same things the Spirit of God tells us to depart from; which are also punishable by law. When we can subject ourselves to a greater grace of obedience to the Holy Spirit and be found justified and appear as thou...

Galatians 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. The Spirit of God leads a child of God and you do not need a law or its enforcement before you know and do what is right. Even when there is no rules and regulations or punishment/penalty in place or anyone/device watching, monitoring or enforcing, a child of God who is being led by Spirit knows what is right to do. What that means is that Spirit of God in us is greater than the Law. We are ruled and directed by the Spirit of God. Therefore, if we break the law, we definitely must have first ignored and disobeyed the leading of the Holy Spirit. Are we still being led by the Holy Spirit? Are we responding to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Our Prayer; God help us all to be sensitive to, hear and obey the leading of the Holy Spirit in our daily living (at home, work, on the road, everywhere) in Jesus Name we pray.

God’s commandments are to keep us within the sphere of protection and joy Whenever we break His commandment, we break the hedge of protection around us We give room for the serpent to creep into our territory; We get exposed to the danger of its bite, its sting, its venom! Pains, sorrow, ill-health, regrets, confusion, fear, abandonment, rejection, betrayal, depression and/or death sets in The goal of the devil is achieved; to kill, steal and destroy! God’s commandment are the expression of His love to us; to keep us safe! Obeying and living by God’s commandment is a calling to a life of Holiness A lot of times, we perceive it as burdensome or rigid The world makes us feel we are extremist when we obey Then they advise; A little tilting to the left or right will not harm, God understands that you are human You can’t be perfect, are you Jesus? Then we compromise! And are faced alone with the consequences of our misdeeds! Won’t you rather begin to see God’s commandment that it is f...

  Grace & Truth  Ref: John 1: 14-17 The Word became flesh (Jesus Christ). Dwelt among us (in the world) We have seen His glory. Glory as of the only son from the Father. He is full of grace and truth. From His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace. The laws were given through Moses. Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.

  The wonderful word on my mind this morning is GRACE. Grace...  Ore Ofe ! Grace is amazing... Amazing Grace! Grace is what lifts a man from the miry clay and sets his foot upon the Rock to Stand. Grace is what takes a life from Nothingness to Significance. Grace turns, ‘It is finished’ into Greatness! When you are at your wit’s end or crossroad; You have done everything humanly possible Intelligence, common sense, ideas, judgment, understanding perspectives, abilities, experience, etc. no longer yield results And it appears 'It is finished' and you also feel 'It's finished! You are at a point where you should look up... Don't look down or be downcast Look up for Grace; onto the Source of Grace That is why the Psalmist says; "I will look up to the hill, from whence comes my help!" Confess and act positively; “... There is lifting up!” Grace begins where human abilities end When you look up for Grace, Grace looks down on you; To energize you and set to do a...

Giver of Life and Light    Ref: John 1:1-13 The Word was at the beginning. The Word was with God. The Word was God. All things were made through the Word. Without the Word nothing was made. In the Word was life. The Life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness. The darkness has not/cannot overcome it. John came to bear witness about the light. John’s witness - “The True light, which gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” The Word came into the world, He made (prepared, shaped, arranged, adjusted ...) the world The world did not know Him (didn’t recognize or accept Him) But to all who received and believed Him, He gave the Power (the right) to become children of God. Not Children born of blood, or the will of flesh, or will of man but of GOD!   

  Let all that you are be based on the plan of your creator.  A building is defective if the builder deviates from the plan.  Therefore, LIVE, MOVE & HAVE YOUR BEING IN HIM, our maker. 

Are you exercising your authority or power of dominion over your fellow human creation or over everything God has created within the universe? The misappropriation of the mandate or authority we have been given is exercising the power on our fellow human creation to subdue and oppress them in anyway. Check the verses very well.... And God said, 'Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; and let them HAVE DOMINION over the FISH of the sea, and over the BIRDS of the air, and over ALL THE WILD ANIMALS of the earth, and over EVERY CREEPING THONGS THAT CREEPS upon the earth. (Genesis 1:26) God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; FILL THE EARTH AND SUBDUE IT (the earth). RULE OVER the FISH in the sea and the BIRDS in the sky and over EVERY LIVING CREATURE that moves on the ground." (Genesis 1:28) A society that continues to suppress or oppress his fellow human instead of excising the God given mandate - authority, power, ...
