Spirit Stimulus

 “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” John 3:5, 8 KJV

Just as it is important to note that Nicodemus’ amazement about the import of God’s abiding presence with Jesus Christ inspired the spirit stimulus recommendation, no one can escape manipulation by the elements of this world without the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” remains the unshakable foundation for the practice of righteousness, the provision of peace, and the preservation of joy in the Holy Ghost in the believer's everyday life. Otherwise, the wind of conflicts at home, conspiracies at workplaces, and corruption in the society is bound to regulate the actions and inaction of anyone ruled by sensual stimulus. Unfortunately, the wind of financial challenges, social insecurity, family problems, relationship conflicts, etc, has always been a veritable tool in the hands of the enemy, against the welfare of many people like Nicodemus. And the only solution to the problems of those whose responses are easily predicted by the blowing of the wind of life is “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” or the rebirth with spirit stimulus. We all need the spirit stimulus to buy the truth of a resounding rest from the Saviour Jesus Christ, and the deliverance from the restiveness of this life’s challenges, and the manifestation of the spirit against the manipulative strategies of the wicked.

Righteous Resolution

  “ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Psalm 1 : 1 - 2 , 6 KJV The problem with the concept of New Year resolutions is that the resolutions are results focussed, including new walkout goals, new diet habits, new relationship models for family, social, and workplace partners, etc. We know that these results resolutions are hard to keep and maintain with the best of human strategies. When Thomas Edition acclaimed ‘Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration ’, he probably believed in the divine order of the 1% inspiration in the 100% success principle. Remove the 1 ahead of the 100 and you’ll get zero, NOT 99! Little wonder the psalmist clearly adopted a righteous resolution strategy, instead of ...

Omni- Obedience

  “ For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled .” II Corinthians 10 : 4 - 6 NKJV There is no better reference to the scriptural punishment of all disobedience when our obedience is fulfilled than omni- obedience. In Apostle Paul’s correction of the Corinthian believers who wrestle authority with him, he admonished believers to focus on the omnipotence of absolute submission to the authority of Christ through our individual fellowship with God. Unfortunately, those who are often frustrated by the strongholds of disobedience, dishonesty, and disloyalty of fellowmen, subordinates, and associates are usually struggling with the calls for absolute submission to Christ. Is He calling our attention to som...

Honourable Honesty

  “ Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand, To execute vengeance on the nations, And punishments on the peoples; To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute on them the written judgment— This honor have all His saints. Praise the Lord! ” Psalms 149 : 5 - 9 NKJV In seasons of afflictions and persecution from a culture of dishonesty, “ Let the saints be joyful in glory; Let them sing aloud on their beds ” appears distasteful. While heaven and its promises wait, saints often walk around with their eyes dropped, shoulders lowered, and feet shackled…thinking what a joyful noise in gory? Unfortunately, dishonesty and diplomacy are the only wares that trend in the waiting seasons. Whereas, heaven always expects faith in God to inspire the righteous delight of saints who are called and commanded to be joyful in glory on their beds of af...
