LET'S BE WATCHFUL FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD

Mat 24:42: "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come."


We must all be on our spiritual watch continuing praying, fasting,  studying the words of God, and saving souls always, for we didn't know the hour that our Lord Jesus Christ was coming. Being always at our spiritual watch will help us to be spiritually sensitive not to be entangled with the things of this world, and to be in right standing with God to be rapture whenever the Lord comes. Standing in our spiritual watch with God helps us to be spiritually prepared and positioned for engagement by the Lord in His work. Prayer and meditation in the words of God make you spiritually positioned for God to reach you and have fellowship with you. That is the reason why God made a garden in Eden for Adam so that Adam will be postponed for God to come and have fellowship with Him. God does not fellowship nor engage a man that is spiritually unprepared for Him. In our prayer and word watchfulness, our spirit man becomes activated and prepared to meet with God, and unless God sees that our spirit man is alive, He wouldn't approach us to fellowship with us. Some believers are readily spiritually alive always, because of their regular prayer and studying of the words of God, so God stands beside them always and communes with them wherever they are. Prayer and fasting remove the covering of the flesh that envelope around our spirit man. God must see that our spirit man is unclothed from the covering of the flesh before He will come around to fellowship with our spirit. The sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit experience takes place when our spirit man is unclad or is opened to God. That is the reason why if we want to hear the voice of God speaking to us in our spirit, our spirit man must be naked before God with nothing upon our heart that we are thinking or ruminating upon before we can hear what God is saying to us. God is a Spirit and we must be aligned with Him in our spirit before we can fellowship with Him and hear His voice. God is a Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in the spirit and with the truth of His words. Our spirit and the truth of the words of God are the tools that God wants us to bring to the altar to worship Him. The contents of our communion with God at the altar are the truth of the word of God because God will commune with us through His words. Jesus Christ, the lamb of God has been offered for us, what we need to bring to the altar of God now for a burning offering is the preparation of our spirit and the words of God with us. Our spirit man burns upon the words of God in our prayers. The intensity and effectiveness of our prayer are dependent on the words of God that are available in our spirit.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
