God’s answer to Middle East woes.

Some very dangerous statements have been coming from the Arab league on the Middle East crisis. Some proclaiming a match on Jerusalem, the capital city.

 The Bible gives a clear account of the origin of the Arab’s and the Israelites. They all have s common ancestor called Abraham. He came from the town of Ur in the Persian Gulf. God called him and led him to Canaan (the present day Israel). He promised him a great nation. Genesis 17:6.

Since Sarah his wife was barren and aged she convinced Abraham to get a child with her Egyptian house maid called Hager. This led to the birth of Ishmael, the father of present day Arabs. God, however, told Abraham the person to inherit His promise to him was a son born by Sarah. A son, Isaac was born. To Ishmael, God had specific blessings --- a great nation (Genesis 21:18) and countless descendants. And to Isaac there was a promise of two sons, Esau and Jacob (Israel). Gods plan was to make Jacob the inheritor of His promise to Abraham.

God also confirmed the blessing of land to Israel when He spoke to Moses at Horeb. (Exodus 3:8). After capturing a big portion of Canaan, Joshua the successor of Moses, was old and advanced in age. The Lord reminded him that there was land that was still to be captured. This included the area of Philistine, Geshrite, from Shihor River on the ease of Egypt to Ekron, including Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, from Aran of the Sidomans as far as Aphek of Amorites, the land of the Gebalite. The Lord told him; “be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance as I have instructed you” (Joshua 13: 1-7).

This knowledge should help us to identify the rights of the nation of Israel and the Arabs. The Arabs are more numerous and cover a wide expanse of land stretching from the Persian Gulf to North Africa. This proves God’s promise to Ishmael.  On the other hand Israel’s inheritance was and still is the small piece of land in Canaan whose borders were clearly defined. This means that Gaza, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jerusalem and all the other pieces that the Palestinians are claiming belong to Israel. Every time the Arabs are fighting Israel for this land, they are therefore fighting God’s Word. That is why they can’t win.

The Arabs should accommodate the Palestinians in their big lands where they are importing labour from Asia and Africa.  Concerning the mosque in east Jerusalem  (the dome of Rock) , the question is, when Caliph Abdel-El-Malik built it in 691 AD, was he not provoking the Jews by locating it where the temple of Solomon was?

Praise: my sickle for miracle harvest.

Three keys that make your harvest come your way.

1.       No problem, or challenge is beyond God.

He is the most High. Proverbs 3:5-6. God is a trustworthy, reliable, and dependable. The problem of men is doubt; he is unable to trust God with all his heart. Read… Psalms 91:1. You may have a challenge, mountain, but before the Almighty it can be subdued. Sickness, disease however their strength can be subdued. Our God is the Most High there is no height can intimidate him. See God as the most high above all your problems. As you praise, and do as the Word of God says all this problems will be solved by faith, in God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

2.       Giving commits God to bring harvest your way.

Psalms 126:1-6, Genesis 8: 22. So note, do not withhold your seed as you praise. As we praise we are giving and we are filling our grounds. Every time you appear before God carry you seed with you. By giving your time, money mentality that we should embank on for not giving includes money.

Evert member should bring a soul to Jesus. There should be harvesting of souls and God will bring your desire to pass. People should pray to be anointed, to go launch out and to bring the harvest. Sit with the word and God will put it in your hands to reach the un-reached in the dying world. With the word let God anoint you for harvest. Luke 14: 23.

If you are serving God you are a servant therefore go into the estates, high ways, town, and encourage people to come to Jesus. As you obey Gods voice and fill his house that which is lacking in your life God will provide sufficiently.  Psalms 35:27. When we do his will God is happy with us.  

3.       Praise brings the Almighty God down in your life.

As you praise him, the Almighty comes to your rescue. Psalms 22:3.

Faith in God

Many of us must have for the longest time wondered what might have been wrong with Abraham – taking your long waited son to some mountains to slaughter Him in the name of obedience unto his so called God!

But today God has laid to eternal rest many questions regarding how far one ought to go in obedience unto God and brought to light the stronghold of faith.

Mary having understood this dimension of faith, spoke thus, to the savants at the wedding of Cana, John 2:5. And as they obeyed their breakthrough came.

Your own break through has knocked at the door of your life for far too long. It is time you believed in the word of God in this message, and put it to work in faith that you may receive of the wonders of faith. Peace!

Let us begin from the book of Zechariah 9:11-12. Today we have come to partake of the stronghold that we may step into our inheritance. The blood of the covenant is one stronghold against the bulwark of the enemy. Every stronghold of the enemy, be it fear or sin holding you in captivity shall give you way from today. You shall advance in life. As you feed your faith every Jericho or wall of opposition in your life shall crush down in the name of Jesus!

The strongholds of faith.

It takes faith to destroy the work of the Satan. Revelation 12:11. There is one thing though that once in place it makes faith potent. Where faith will never fail but deliver the desired results. This thing is obedience. Obedience to God is the stronghold of faith. Breakthrough never occur except when barriers, oppositions and strongholds (of the devil) are destroyed in the spirit.

The devil shuts the doors for people but God opens them up. And if God is to open your doors you need to provoke him by faith. Faith in obedience moves God but fear, agitations or tears will never. At the red sea Israel wailed and murmured in fear but it was only when God moved in via the faith of Moses that the barrier was destroyed. Exodus 14:11.

Faith that established breakthrough is that which has overwhelmed the heart thereby dictating your actions. This is faith that professes and not just confesses. Exodus 14: 15. And Moses stretched forth his rod while Israel moved forward in obedience. The red sea parted. That barrier was brought down and their breakthrough established.  Faith does not see the problem but the solution as God has said it. Faith celebrates not nor regards problem but despises them. Hebrew 12:2.

But understand this, as we look deeper into our message. Faith actions compliment your belief in obedience to divine instructions for your breakthrough.  John 2:5. Following the story as we know in here from the miracle wine came by reason for their faith action in line with the instructions Jesus gave them.

Faith without action is dead. It is faith that is wrought by work that compels the devil to bow and give way by virtue of God moving into action in your favor. Abraham our father was justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the alter. Rahab a harlot was justified by works when she received the massagers and did not send them away. James 2:14-25. Faith is not a confession but a profession because faith without actions is dead.

What are blessings?

The blessing of soul winning

Spiritual blessing is what every believer wants. It is a good thing to feel blessed in the Lord. In this article we are going to learn on how to be blessed through soul winning.

 

There is a difference between blessing and blessings. You may note this has been explained in our previous teaching but the emphasis is crucial. Because many have confused the two and end up missing both. People out there have property and are multi-millionaires but lack peace in their heart and mind. Instead their lives are sorrowful. They have the blessings but are not blessed.

What is the blessing?

Ø  It is an anointing through which divine favor overflows.

Ø  It is the ability to prevent misfortunes in the lives of others. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate. 1 Timothy 6:17-8.

Ø  It is a covenant of God that overrides the curses of the earth. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it... Proverbs 10:22, Genesis 3:17-19

Ø  It is the power to produce.

 

Benefits of soul winning.

If you are a soul winner then you are blessed. What do you enjoy in the physical? What are the benefits of soul winning?

Ø  Answers to prayers. Not everyone that asks receives. It is because of failure in the area of soul wining. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained you, that ye shall ask of the father in my name, he may give it to you. John 15: 16

Ø  Divine health. When you are fruitful God ensures you enjoy good health. Serving God compels him to keep sickness far from you. And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless your bread, and thy water; and I will make sickness away from the midst of thee. Exodus 23:25., Proverbs 13:17, John 15:2

Ø  Divine wisdom is permitting God to use your mind to be a blessing to the lives of others. Divine wisdom is thinking kingdom wise in order to invest spiritually into the lives of them.

COVENANT PATHWAY TO SUPERNATURAL PROSPERITY

 

In the book of Jeremiah 6: 16 the Holy Spirit admonishes “Thus says the Lord, stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good ways, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, we will not walk therein”. Because the children of Israel did not walk in the ancient paths, they did not enjoy the rest that God had predestinated for them. For 430 years the children of Israel were in slavery.

You will agree with me that slavery comes with heavy poverty.  That was until God remembered his covenant and visited them. Then the York of poverty was broken and their status was changed overnight from slaves to free millionaires. Psalms 105: 37. It was on the basis of the covenant that they received a transformation. This shows that the children of Israel went into slavery and continued in it because they forsook the covenant of their fathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Let’s understand this covenants:

 

THE COVENANT FOUNDATION

 

Friends, as believers God has left for us the promise of blessings and this promise only works on the basis of his covenant. When you walk in the covenant of God, he will confirm his blessings upon your life. This promise of blessedness is not a vague promise but rather it is founded on a solid foundation. The bible says that his works are already complete before the foundation of the word (Hebrew 4:3) therefore, your blessedness in life has already been settled in Christ Jesus. The foundation of your blessedness is the death of Jesus Christ on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. 2 Corinthians 8:9. so the end reults of the grace of our lord Jesus Christ to us as believers is blessedness. And the proof of this blessedness is the abundance of all things. 2 Corinthians 9:8. But you provoke the the blessings into practical manifestation in your life as you walk in the covenant of the Almighty God.
