Women of virtue

"Who can Find a woman of virtue? for her worth is far more precious than rubies"

As I looked around the world, I noticed that we produce alot of woman activists for good yet there a lack of virtuous women. The bible talks of  this woman as parrallel to wealth and riches. The wealth of a women is not her bank account or the number of people she is attracting, but the virtue she has within her. Virtue is a character, it is an attribute that distinguishes a woman from those around her. There may be billions of women out there but one woman of virtue grabs royal precedence than a billion super models. Child of God your worth is determined by your character, If you act cheap they will treat you cheap, If you dress cheap they will adress you cheap. A woman of virtue looks beyond social trends, If you gotta fit in you become like the rest, it is a woman who stands out who all men of every nature desire. You got to understand that no one places a bet on a losing horse, sister they after your virtue and keeping it will gain you glory! There were millions lining up for the palace but only Esther passed the test, her beauty and virginity was not the key! It was her character that mattered.

The bible talks about Ruth and Boaz. When Naomi gave the girls a choice to leave and find themselves husbands, the other left but Ruth chose to stick to Naomi. Women of virtue serve God they dont throw themselves in the hands of a man who is using them just to try to get married. Marriage has become a sole goal for young women today,they all stiock with trash to find treasure. The rubbish bin dont produce rubbies, you got to have virtue and character! Let God's word build ion you a character higher than those around you, If you dance the tune of your friends you cant expect a different fate. God calls people out of stuff, he called Abram out of oz, He called david out of the house of Jesse, he called moses out the palace. All that glitters is not gold, maybe you in the palace of egypt yet the virtue of God is being compromised, you are living in sin with a future contract in mind to legalise your sin! If you build ion sin you will decorate in sin. Have the Ruth character, that is able to stick to Naomi and wait for her Boaz, you may miss your boaz if you go looking for something that God was preparing for you. Be the woman a man of virtue is praying for, "He who lives by the sword dies by the sword" Remember how you live now will be how you will be treated later. If the hippie lifestyle of the world is your bread do not complain ther meal of your seed growth. You attract who you are, and Boaz comes once in a life time! keep your virtue.

 

Prevailing Word

"And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory...the glory as of the only begotten of the father, full of  grace and truth"

For years the word of the Lord would deliver Israel from all kind of dilemmas. The word would be activated to aid Kings of Israel and win them battles(2 Chronicles 20:15), that same word would send health to the sick and provision to the needy. The word was not known but heard and whenever it was in operation great manifestations were brought about by this intangible word of God.The unseen word of God was Gods authority manifested on earthg, nations trembled when The God of Israel received a word from God, when the word said God left them they would confidentially attack with no fear, pagans believed in this word.

One day in the midst of a man seen as a prophet, the crowds saw terror fill the face of this man, as never was before. The angels in heaven rushed to view the scenes of the begining of the activation of this eternal word...yes the word was clothed in skin and sinew, it became human. The word of God could relate to people and their emotions, it could be tempted and get tired and feel like giving up, the pains of life would meet this eternal word. His closest friend betrays him, his right hand successor denies him, his true friend doubts him.All the people he healed and peformed miracles in their midst signed the pledge to crucify him, he looks in the crowd and sees the faces of those his hands have healed....the blind and lepers...alone with no help the word of God is put to death.

"So shall my word that i send it shall not return void, but it shall accomplish whayever i send it to do".The word cried out in golgotha "It is finished" every fleshly dilema, problem and situation, every situation and religious sects of mono superiority was nailed with him, every human flesh ever born began to enter inside of him as he defeated every physical problem and barrier for the human race. It was finished, his work in the flesh was accomplished, he unified jews and geitiles, slave nor free brother yes that sinner you dont talk with, that outcast you ignore he decided to unify the whole world in himself, it was no longer Jesus on the cross but the whole world was nailed to the cross.sin and its demise, ungodliness and perveted behaviour grudges and unforgiveness, every impure action and thought and the sin you will faulter with tomorrow was nailed upon that cross. His job was far from over, it might have been victory in the flesh but he went to gain victory in the spirit. He conquered the devil and his right hand angel , the power of the devil, the terrot of humanity nd fear of man kind....yes death faced him face to face. The whole world in him, me and you in him, he defeated death on the third day and was crowned the king of kings and it all happened with me in him!

Whatever you going through today, whether physical or spiritual remember that he conquered and prevailed. that same word is near you even in your mouth, talk the scriptures to life and se the word walk the streets of south africa like he did in galilee.

 

Honesty God's Policy

"Repay no one evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men."- Romans 12:17

There was a young man who used to tend the flock of his father. He would shout and scream that a veld fire has started. The whole community would run to find he is only joking. He played the prank numerous times until the people listened to him no more. He was known as the dishonest child. One day a real veld fire broke out, he screamed for help and no one came. he tried to convince everybody but no one budged. The whole village burnt and he lost everything dear to him.

Honesty is more than telling the truth at all times. Being truthful is a fruit of honsty. Honest people are known to tell the truth, but in essence honesty is not telling but acting out the truth. Becoming the truth and living it. We live in a world where people fail to embrace this character. As a result many people are not infact no one human is trustworthy either than the person you see in the mirror. Child of God be trustworthy, be honest in character in the sight of all men. As representatives of Christ we ought to appear in honesty at all times we are to mirror the honesty of the Messiah to the world. This might sound like a babe msessage but your spiritual maturity and deceptive character wil not earn you a share in Gods kingdom, so change your heart and mind and relinquish any form of dishonesty from your sphere of contact.

 

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.
