FOR A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORD AND NEW REVELATIONS
What does attract you the most; glamorous life here and now or Love of God that gives you glorious life not only here on earth but also for the world to come. This is an important question everyone should ask ourselves and be sure what we are really going after. In the pretence of going to God in prayer, what are you praying for, matters. God wants us to be consumed by the Love He showered upon us to save us from this wretched world; not to be happily settled in it as most people do.
One would ask what should I do to walk according to the things that pleases God? How can I arrive at precisely? There are many teachings in the New Testament that tell you what to do. We can summarise into 3 we should not be doing. We should not be slaves to- 1 World, 2 Flesh 3 Devil. But we should be slaves to God and slaves to righteousness which leads to holiness.
When we are studying if we go to school and sit in the class to learn when the teacher explains and later even go to tuitions or discuss with your studious friends; but if you do not come home and meditate and memorise what you have learnt and refresh the whole portions the previous night before you enter into the examination hall, you are not scoring excellent marks. If you do not know this too, you can learn! Likewise go to church regularly and attending many revival meetings and discussing Bible in your small groups; but if you are not sitting alone with Holy Spirit and meditating on and changing your mind accordingly, you are not renewed in your spirit. All other above activities will not benefit you.
As Jesus prophesied He was lifted up on the Cross and He drew all peoples of the earth to Himself; Satan the prince of this world was driven out. Let us make sure we understood this status of Jesus who won the victory and the enemy, Satan was driven out of this world. Many Christians give unnecessary importance to Satan, for the problems they create themselves by not having the knowledge and wisdom of God to run their lives. Jesus is drawing all our attentions in this world right now.
God created the whole world by His Words. He created them in an order first the heavens and earth, light, water, sun, moon and stars, plantation, sea creatures, birds and animals and then man and woman. These all He created in an order from nothing. “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.” Psalms 33:6, 9 (NKJV) So it fits the theory of Big Bang, isn’t it? God’s voice went ‘Bang bang’ and all appeared!
We are in end times. We are in this generation. We got to be prepared. All end time signs are coming to pass: 1Many claim “I am Christ “ 2 Wars and rumours of wars 3 Nations rise against nations. 4 Earth quakes are more frequent 5 Plagues and pestilence are happening 6 Christians are persecuted 7 Many fall from faith 8 Many false prophets surface. 9 Knowledge is increasing 10 Because of increase in wickedness, love of many grow cold. 11 People go from one place to another 12 Gospel is preached all over the world.
There will be nothing left to believe if you have seen in front of you what you wanted to have. But if you see through your spiritual eyes what your physical eyes have not seen yet; that is belief! “Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”” John 20:29 ESV Believing is seeing!
There is Healing in the Body of Christ. Many have just taken Holy Communion as medicine at home and got complete healing from incurable diseases. These Lent Days when we are meditating the Lord’s death on the Cross, let us also make sure that we understand the benefits of His death is not only to remit our sins but also to heal our bodies He took up the beatings on His back. The blood is shed for our sins and the body is beaten for our healing. “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”” Matthew 8:17 NKJV
This is the time of Grace, God has given to the church era where Jesus is reigning and devil is not. We should make use of this Grace period to enter into the Kingdom of God before dark period comes into this world where no one can operate. So make haste and be reconciled back to God. Jesus came to bring men back to God’s bosom where we were supposed to be.
Another name to the parable is the Prodigal Son. But the names of every parable in the Bible were given by the people who have subtitled the Bible but originally Jesus went on saying some stories to the people at those days to understand better. So we can say in general, Jesus gave the stories to explain the characteristics of God and His Kingdom principles.
