The un-preached Sermon

"Being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1

For years the human race tried to reach out to this far away God. Their sin hid them from the eternal God, seperated they justified themselves with the law of moses. The law could help a man notice his flaws but could not heal his disease of sin. The inheritance of Adam was fear to approach God. Some would enter the holy place and die instantly. A man once reached out to touch the ark of the covenant to save it and he died. Good motive yet he died because man was not worthy to touch God's holiness. The message of condemnation was preached for centuries, we al know the sermon of sin and death but were is the sermon of life and righteousness? In Calvary the second Adam killed the fallen nature and tore the veil into two, allowing the unclean to enter the holiness. Allowing sinful men to stand in God's presence, they dont come to God as who they are, they come to him as who Christ is.

The above verse says we Justified, free from the guilt of sin that made us run away from God. We have peace? the greek word the writter uses is "Eirene" it means "set at one again" This peace is more than still waters that david walked besides. This peace is the same the Son of God came to introduce. we are at one with God again, fellowship restored, broken doors rebuilt. We function like the creator? jealousy dies at this knowledge, selfishness and cruelty has no room, nor does sin. Sin was defeated "Eirene" restored, we have peace which by implication works out prosperity. I know you a prostitute but he qualified you for this life, i know you feel like a hypocrite, el may judge you but Christ defended you. This is the unspoken sermon the reality of the obtained righteousness! You can stand fearlessly at the throne of God without any sense of guilt, youcan raise your hands during a service while others point at you God is applauding you. Lokk away from the fear to approach God he has called you to himself, the truth of  "Eirene" should dwell inside you. You have peace, not war dont fear his not there to judge you. God himself drew you to himself, he reconciled you to the throne(I pray by God's grace I get to release the book: "His Throne" ) When you know where he called you too, your life can never be the same again!

 

Christian Motive (Part 1)

"But when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, To what purpose is this waste?"-Matthew 26:8

Have you ever given something to God and felt your fellow bretheren gossip calling you a "suck up", or that you beg your pastor?  Marry was not worthy to sit in the room with Jesus. She felt like the greatest of sinners. At her entrance Peter and the others tried to stop her but she pushed her way to the feet of Jesus. After pouring out the aromatic perfume and smoothly aplying it with her long hair at the feet of Jesus the crowd began to murmer. She's un-worthy to be a woman and do that to the master. Like we elbow the woman preachers nowadays, Mary had her share.  The disciples anger was aroused, but one questions their motive, were they angry because Mary was wasting the perfume or were they angry that someone has showed a higher devotion to the master they daily walked with. Was it Jealousy moving them or was it the concern for a greater cause in humanity?

Maye you reading this and your giving in ministry is threatened by gossipers calling you a show off. Maybe it is the level of commitment you show, or the respect you show the man of God, "For what purpose is this waste?" they cry as you walk past them. The sinful Mary who had seven demons reached the highest state of Worship. And Jesus blessed her with the very thing some wanted, the fame of ages. We only teach about few disciples, have you ever heard a pastor shout "Thaddeus, Andrew, Nathaniel" but we all talk of Mary because Jesus said: "Were ever this gospel reaches the story of this woman will be told"  The prostitute Mary caught the prophesy of the death of Christ. The priests couldn't see it, the anointed disciples missed but Mary the judged caught it.

What ever you do for God remember, you were personally called to the throne. Do not let others stop you from your God given instruction, they all may see you wasting your time, money and energy but the purpose of the waste was to glorify the master in the highest form of worship. John tells us more of this story which matthew shares. Judas said:

Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
John 12:6
"He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and held the moneybag and carried the things put in"

We live in a world were good people can do goodlooking things with the wrong motive and we join in without weighing the outcome. If the other disciples knew that Judas was concerned for his own pocket, they would have not backed him up or supported his good sounding words. Remember God is not like men he sees the motive of your heart, you can fool the world with your sympathy Judas but Christ knows your intention and his  not casting you awayhis asking you to change.

Praying the right way- (Part 1)

"The Lord said to moses wherefore criest thou unto me?speak unto the children of Israel that they go foward!"- Exodus 14:15

As I grew up in faith, i was priveledged to see people who believed so much in prayer. I began to engage in prayer. I found out at times it worked i praised God and sometimes it didnt and i thought "maybe it was not God's will for my life". When I grew up, like Apostle Paul I put away childish things from me. God answers every single prayer which is in line with his word. Many people pray the wrong way then they believe it is not God's will to grant them what they desire. God was amazed at Moses crying at him? how many times do we cry to God? God is a faith activated God, when we complain it shows doubt in his word. The camp of Israel complained when they felt caved in, they cried and started thinking of turning back! How many times have you prayed and when it don't happen you said its not God's will? like the Israelites you turned back from your request.

How do we pray the right way you ask? You can be super spiritual but if you ignorant of Gods word you will pray wrong and get wrong results. God cannot be bribed with sweet words, Fill your heart with his word and pray his word. When God was neglectinIsrael moses questioned his word he did not cry. Stop crying saint keep pressing your knees do not give up until you see it materialize. I was taught not to repet what I prayed for but Jesus teaches the opposite and James 5:17-19, says: "An effective ferverent,heartfelt,continued prayer of a righteous man availeth much, making tremendous power available" Your prayer is dynamc,God didnt say they should run or cry but he commanded them to go foward. keep marching, someone said: "Cant you see theres water ahead, cant you see theres no way through"  I might not see the way through but his word was go! and because my prayer is based on his word and it is heartfelt and continued, i will not stop until i see where his word is taking me! When they landed in the red sea it split into two, prayer will splt any hard problem you facing. All you need to do is keep talking those toungus, keep believing that word and walk towards your problem. Pray and wait? Where in the world did you get that we pray and charge towards the situation! If you have pains, sickness, problems I want you to pray right now and behave like they are gone for three days, keep thanking God. look if you feeling the pain now as you reding? i want you to step on that leg, i want you to move those hips any pain walk that word!

 

Defeating Giants

I picture the young boy David already looking at his stature we all judge he cannot make it. His qualifications don't qualify, he misses the screening test. Once we read the story we find out that Goliath usually came before the battle and spoke frightening words to camp of Israel. Goliath was not the giant it was his message that was a giant. When they kept hearing what he had to say they forgot about their God. The testimony of Goliath prevailed in Israel, the priests,prophets and elders were all defeated. But there was a young man, because of his age their victory was delayed, because he was young no one dared to listen to him.

David came and he refused to even hear what Goliath had to say, for the first time in the plot of the story we see someone talking with Goliath without fear. He was saying my message is greater than yours! How could i lose against you? have you not heard how God split the seas opened and made us walk on dry ground? Have you not heard he fed us with bread from heaven(Christ to come)? Goliath the fear installer began to panick, his lips began to shiver as he said: "wha wha what have you sent me? a boy"  No longer was he pompous and proud he felt disrespected? God will disrespect the devil in your life! He wanted to show Goliath that he can use the smallest Israelite to defeat him! It is not about what you can do it is about positioning yourself right through speaking an effective word which will alter the circumstance you find yourself in.

I can picture david on his way to Goliath saying: "The Lord is my light and salvation of whom shall I fear" Remove fear from your lips, talk faith at all cost, even though the odds may look contrary to you there is help! David looks at goliath on the hill and says: "I will lift up my eyes to the hills were cometh my help" The man is saying were my problem stands I see my helper, my God is dealing with Goliath, David didnt slay Goliath with a sling, he slayed him with his words!- Read it again.

I believe in Miracles

"And he said, If you will carefully listen to the voice of Jehovah your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His Laws, I will put none of these diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am
Jehovah who heals you. "

During our first crusades we were transported to a home where the daughter was mentally ill. She had seizures due to that her lung had a hole and she couldn't bend her body without excrutiating pain. Pastor Patience and Phronesis accompanied me there. The mother told me her painful story and my tears were in my eyes, trying by all means not to show the pitty i felt. We ministered healing to the girl, she started to bend without pain, her reasoning was normal, everyone was shouting for joy, I then instructed the mother to go to the doctor and she'l see that the hole is closed. In two weeks time i received a call, the mother told me the doctors were shocked at how the hole was closed, and from then on she's never had a seisure again!

Healing is real and I have witessed a lot of miraculou ones. The bible says "Thou shall have none of these diseases". The child of God is superior to illneses nd bad bacteria! We have a life that is death to sickness, we are immune to colds and flues and any other sickneses! Believe in the power that works in you, my life is miraculous I believe in the miraculous because I believe in God. It takes a miracle to understand the crfeation of such a beautiful universe, take a look at the moon and stars and you'l see that creation is a miraculous event, my birth was miraculous, two barren people who were told by different doctors that they cant have babies got me. Whatever report you got, believe in miracles becaus we serve a miraculous God! An awesome God.

John G Lakes story:
An Evangelist came to S.A named John Lake, he found that a quarter of the population suffered from the bubonic plague. People were catching this diseases from sneezing etc as a result a living germ of the disease infected you. John Lake went with a team of expert doctors to the morgue and they took out a dead body that died recently, they took out a living germ of the plague and placed it on John G Lakes hand, when it landed on his hand experts recorded that the germ died!

Many people think we market ourselves or we looking for publicity, Gods has given some of us a special grace to work suprnatural miracles, and oh boy we believe in miracles, its time you do also if youbelieve in God.

The more than superman

"If any man be in Christ he is a new creation, all things have passed away behold all things are become new"- 2Corinthians 5:17

When a man gets born again, the old dies in his baptism. Many make the mistake that God has forgiven them so they have to start anew on a clean sheet. That is not what he is saying, he says they are a new creation, another type of being. A new species altogether, they were not remade or improved no! they were re created in the nature of GOD. That man is born again superior to the devil,sin and defeat. He is a man that is made in the lineage of the second Adam(2 Cor 15:45) who is Christ Jesus. That man was born and given keys to heaven and whatsoever he binds on earth it becomes bound in heaven, and all he looses in heaven becomes loosed in earth.

"All Power I give unto you, to trample down on scorpions and poisonous snakes, to tread the power of the enemy heal, and nothing by any means shall hurt you"- Luke10:19

This new man was given all authority by Christ, he has al;l the power available to paralyse the works of the devil. That man is you! The minute you accepted Jesus heavens authority located you. you are more than just a church goer, something bigger than the world is inside you, nothing can be greater than you, Christ in you the new superman!

When paul was at a genitile village, a snake bit him and all the people waited to see if he was going to pass out and die. Paul shook it off and continued preaching, saints you have that power no poison can kill you, no devil can defeat you, no weapon formed against you can prosper, the enemy is shooting blanks! you are divine being created in the image of the second Adam! like paul shake off your fears, shake off your worries, shake off every dilemma and square up your shoulders, straighten your feet and walk the talk! If you a girl command that cat-walk you were to die for, the greater one lives in you! you have divine class hallelujah.

Hands of Hope

"...Whatever he tells you to do, do it..."- John 2:5

When the wedding got finnished in Cana, Marry assured the servants that whatever Jesus requested they should do. Problems in the room were facing a bigger problem, the ultimate solution. Wherever he was needed he performed with excellence, his touch turned water to wine. Wine symbolises Joy in scripture, for the ordinary and gloomy his touch carries your smile, you hunger for laughter is found in his hands.

There's a beautifull hymn that goes as follows:
"Something wonderful happened and now I know he touched me and made me whole"

His touch repaired the woman with the issue of blood and made her whole. When every alternative failed her desire was the touch of Jesus. His touch made new sockets for the blind man with no eyeballs. How he rubbed his spit in the mud and turned the mug to eye balls. His touch extends to the rich, needy and poor. There is no prejudice or selectiveness in his touch. You may have hurt him in any way yet he holds no record of your wrong, when you come to him he does what he does best, he'l touch you.

The touch of Jesus was extended to his church, he still touches people even today. It was his touch that delivered people in revivals, it was his touch that got the lame to leap out of wheelchairs, it was his touch that closed the open hole in the lung of that lady we ministered to, it was his touch that healed a mentally disturbed girl and got her back to excel in school, his hand is stretched out for the world, yes something wonderful happenned. It was his touch that made me survive in my mothers womb without water in her stomach for 3 monthS, It was his touch that kept me going when I felt like the whole world is against me. That touch is happening today it takes a willing heart and a humble spirit, "If my people who are called by my name, would humble themselves and turn from their sins I will hear their prayers and heal their land"-2 Chronicles 7:14

Sin blocks the network from earth to heaven, thank to the masters technological innovation, he created a new way to  bypass sin. His blood shed for you and me has granted us unlimited data bundles to log into heaven and tweet the master, whichever language you understand his touch is meant for you. Reach out now.

Love on the Cross

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, that whosoever believes in him should not die but have everlasting life"- John 3:16

When God desided to write the human race a letter he stopped and acted it out. Had he wrote about it we would not believe it, had he promised it we would of doubted it. The world is growing into a self-centered empire were everyone is selfless and self-conscious, people divorce because they not happy, love is not taking or receiving love is better showed in giving. It means you give all you have to the one you love. When God showed us that he loves he did not give us his crown. He did not give us the best angels or the best creation he has he gave us himself.

It was not the nails that kept him to the cross, but his love for you and me. Gods love was extended to the betraying Judas and denying peter, even though they sold and denied him his love for the grew deeper. God loved while you were a sinner, what more now that you his child? He doesn't love you because you deserve it, no; he loves you even though you dont qualify, he doesnt call the qualified he qualifies the called. His love was shown at the cross, the criminal who killed and murdered now repents, had it been me and you we would of told him its too late, but you never too late for Gods loving grace. his message is simple and clear. Look at the cross and see my love, leave your sin and enter my love. We dont have to be pure to come to him, coming to him makes us pure. yiou are heavens VIP to the royal day of celebration. I might not sell you or market you blessings but the fact that he died for you should ring your alarm, he tooik your bullet for you. That poison you were prepared to drink he drank it for you. That load that is heavy he took care of it, just believe and say yes to his call, its not too far its in your mouth!

"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you shall be saved"-Romans 10:9

Its not a religious citing no its accepting the invitation, he loved, he gave, died rose and you are saved. he passed the test so you can get the reward, will you accept the master's call?
