Perfect Preservation

  “ Thou wilt prolong the king's life: And his years as many generations. He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.” Psalm 61 : 6 - 7 KJV There is definitely no doubt that the unfortunate prolonged patronage of all agents of darkness is influenced by believers’ manipulation via M3DG (mightiness, deception, destruction, dishonesty, and greed). Whereas, M3DG’s offer of preservation is simply fraud. For example, after king David’s fall into adultery with Bathsheba, David employed the full arsenal of his M3DG tool; but he wasn’t preserved until his return to the King of kings and the Lord of lords for perfect preservation. Likewise, anyone who comes to God for preservation do not need the wielding of M3DG because of the profound fullness of the freshness of freedom in the presence of the Rock that is higher than the highest, mightier than the mightiest, bigger than the biggest, wiser than the wisest, and greater than the greatest. Those w...

Little Light

 “ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life .” John 8 : 12 KJV Darkness is never made for or against the light, but light is made for the darkness. When Jesus says  ‘I am the light of the world’ , He is confirming to His disciples the power of the supposedly little light they carry against all intimidation by the darkness around them. More importantly, ‘I am the light of the world’ emphasizes the superiority of God’s light over the good, the ugly, and the bad. Oftentimes, believers are pressured to question the relevance of God’s promises in the midst of the challenges against their prospects and the calamity from problems. Then, He goes “ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven”. When believers’ focus is on the efficacy of their little light, they cannot even begin to process the effrontery of ...

Christless Condemnation

  “ When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more .” John 8 : 10 - 11 KJV The story of God’s mercy as related to the woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees speaks volume on the subject of condemnation. She escaped condemnation simply because Christ was with her, and not necessarily because she advanced the confession of her sin. As soon as her conviction appreciated the presence of Christ, she immediately experienced the mercy of God. “ And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more .” Unfortunately, many convicted sinners today struggled with Christless condemnation because of their pride and unwillingness to appreciate the presence of Christ. For example, when Samson painfully realized that God had left him, he failed to pray for the restoration of God’s pr...

Spirit Sense

  “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. ” John 6 : 63 KJV   The response of Jesus here to the disciples’ frustration on the plight of their carnal cravings reveals the superiority of the spirit sense. “ It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing“ implies that while the spirit sense offers the lively loaves, carnal cravings produce lifeless loaves. And it is important to note that the best of carnal cravings profits nothing more than frustrations, fighting, and frivolity, besides the agitation for the supply of the basic things of life. Unfortunately, purposeless lives are usually satisfied with the provision of the best of what carnal cravings can offer. Little wonder why the enemy of our souls has nothing more on his principle of temptation to the flesh than the cravings for food, fame, and fortunes. The moment anyone’s carnal cravings overwhelm his spirit sense...

Lifeless Loaves

  “ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. ” John 6 : 26 - 27 KJV There is nothing wrong with the gifting of lifeless loaves to arrest the physical and material needs of the people. The only problem is that people hardly give lifeless loaves without ulterior motives. Like politicians who often give lifeless loaves to vulnerable populace for the conscience manipulative reasons, Jesus’ miracles of feeding thousands of people with five loaves of bread was misinterpreted as the offering of lifeless loaves. “ Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled ” implies that the motive...

Just Judge

  “ The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. ” Psalm 58 : 10 - 11 KJV Preference for hasty joy over hopeful joy does appear to be the cause of the drawbacks experienced in the pursuit of righteousness. Who wait for “ The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance “, when wickedness attracts the frequent paycheques in everyday social lifestyles, societal politics, marketplace interactions? Unfortunately, many partners, principals, and peers who are privileged with material riches and positions of authority have assumed the roles of the unjust judges in our world. And when hopeful joy delays its rewards, the righteous are quick to hang their boots on righteousness, uprightness, and steadfastness with godly services. Whereas, hopeful joy requires waiting upon the Lord through consistent meditati...
