ministry of reconciliation

*Words create worlds*

People of God the world we live in today was created by the word of God. We must appreciate the power of words spoken under the inspiration of God. The word was the seed that created everything we see and touch. The word is so powerful it holds the place of God. Read here: John 1:1-2(NIV) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.”

So the word is God. Not just any word but the very expressed mind, will and purpose of God. Jesus Christ is that word of eternal life who existed before all and lives through all. Read here:  John 1:3 (NIV) “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”

We were created in the image of God having the ability to speak things into existence. Check with Proverbs 18:21(GW) “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love to talk will have to eat their own words.” Some people think someone is bewitching them, they are just reaping the words they spoke over their own lives, marriage and children.

We believe all things were created by God the Father through Jesus Christ and put our faith in this truth. We know that physical things we see came out of Jesus the Life Giving Spirit. Nothing happens on the physical without first of all being commanded or spoken in the spirit. Read here: Hebrews 11:3 (GNB) “It is by faith that we understand that the universe was created by God’s word, so that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen.”

God is very careful with His words. All things can pass away but the word of God Lives forever. God never speaks without thinking. Check with Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV) The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.”

Do you then wonder why the positive things you say take time to happen or never happen? You do not truly believe in them. When you speak full of convition and faith, from the heart, it happens. The words we speak are spirit and life. Read here: John 6:63 (NLT) “The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.”

We must study the word of God and speak it over our situations. Believe in the word of God and speak it everyday. Speak it over your situation. Declare it until you start seeing results.

The word of God is living and active. Read here: Hebrews 4:12 (GW) “Gods word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. Gods word judges a persons thoughts and intentions.”

The word of God is one of the most powerful creative tool we have. God saved us from perishing through His son Jesus Christ. If you believe your life needs to change. Open your mouth and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Read here:  John 3:16 (NKJV) “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

If you believe in Jesus, you have eternal life. Speak that life to all the dead areas of your life. Create worlds full of the life of God with the words of your mouth. Speak God’s word and declare fruit fullness and abundance all around you!

*A victorious Christ and a defeated devil*

Blessed family of God I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have observed how many people believe they have enemies everywhere. This includes co workers, siblings and former lovers. This revelation ( light) is untrue. It means your eye (perception) is bad/ poor. For there is only one enemy (the devil) and he was defeated by only one savior who could do that (Jesus Christ).

It is not good to have a poor revelation or perception. Read here: Matthew 6:23 (NLT) “But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!”

The devil of course still tempts people to sin or to make a practice of sinning. We belong to Christ and resist sin because we do not walk in agreement with satan. Check with

1 John 3:8 1 John 3:8 (NIV) “The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” Compare with John 8:44.

We cannot walk in agreement with a fallen and defeated enemy. We are alert to his tricks and false teaching. Read here: 1 Peter 5:8

(GNB) “Be alert, be on the watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”

We (the church) are led by the Spirit of God who dwells in us and we gladly submit to Him. This is how the church rules over the devil and covercomes him daily. Read here:  James 4:7 (NKJV)” Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

We know that the devil is in the world but we are not afraid of Him. Jesus Christ our Lord already rescued us from the enemy. Check with Colossians 1:13 (GW) “God has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of his Son, whom he loves.”

Our biggest spiritual warfare against the devil, involves identifying his false teachings, prophecies and tricks and refusing to fall for them. Remember the parable of the sower. Read it here:

Matthew 13: 24-30. The devil is truly after stealing our salvation, sonship and redemption. He is not particularly after our money, makeup and boyfriends/ girlfriends.

Satan brings false teachings that empower him in our minds. We do not fight against our fellow mankind read Ephesians 6:12. We capture the devil’s lies and cast them down ( 1 Corinthians 10: 5 ff). But we know that through Jesus Christ the enemy is under our feet, he was once a strong man ( having the law, deception  and accusations) on his side but now he was defeated. We can enter his house ans bind him up! Glory to God.

I leave you with this beautiful scripture:  Mark 3:27 (NASB) “But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.”

*Unexercised authority is useless”

Beloved of God, I tell you the truth, many people are not operating as they should. They still cry and hope that Jesus Christ comes back to continue where He left off. When He was on earth Jesus performed signs and wonders that got people praisimg God. Read here:  Matthew 9:8 (NIV) “When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.”

But Jesus Christ simply wanted to show the redeemed man what those who believe in Him can accomplish. He was taking a human body and showing people the amazing things ( a person connected to God) can achieve.

He then gave power to His disciples to perform miraculous works. Read here: Luke 10:19 (NLT) “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.”

The power that Jesus gave to all works only if you believe. This power is evidence that the Father lives in us and is touching the world through us. All who believe this have eternal life(John 17:3). This life cannot be hidden, there will be proof of it everywhere we go.

Read here: Mark 16:17 (ERV) “And the people who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force demons out of people. They will speak in languages they never learned. If they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be hurt. They will lay their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Make no mistake, the Father who dwelt in Jesus now dwells in us also. He was the Life that brought light to all man kind. Check with John 1:4 (NKJV) “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”

There was so much death and darkness on the earth before Jesus Christ came. Darkness is ignorance, deception and the rule of lies through the working power of satan. But Jesus Christ came as a shining light. Light means (truth, life and reconnection to our heavenly Father).

When the Light came darkness was defeated. Read here: John 1:5 (ERV)

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated it.” You are complainimg about the darkness instead of shining your light so that it fleas away. Exercise your authority speak life to dead situations. Declare the power of God in areas of your life by speaking the word of God.

Being empowered by the Holy  Spirit is a great responsibility. You cannot light a lamp and put under the table. You can do greater things than what Jesus did in His ministry. Do you believe this? Read here:

John 14:12 (ERV) “I can assure you that whoever believes in me will do the same things I have done. And they will do even greater things than I have done, because I am going to the Father.”

You are in the Father and the Father is ready to work through you to do great works. Don’t complain and cry, believe in the power at work in you and start changing the world order!

God’s Truth will always prevail

By Minister T.D. Mkana

Brethren, the world is so loud. The devil put systems that take away our peace and force to constantly be aware of his loud circus. The devil makes his small “victories” over some of us look like complete and utter defeat of the church. His team scores a single goal against ours and the celebration lasts for weeks. When we have him beaten 100 to 1.

Honestly the devil was defeated and he has no chance of winning against the chosen, ever! The devil however refuses to acknowledge the truth because there us no truth in him. Read here: John 14:6b  “He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”

Adam and Eve were already made in the image of God and were never going to die but the enemy twisted the truth and caused them to sin. Check with  Genesis 3:1-5. He invests trillion in the “deception industry”. Read here:

Thessalonians 2:10 (NLT) “He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.”

Hollywood and other types of entertainment industries build fiction narratives of a powerful devil. Thanks to the internet, lies are being churned out every day like butter. The devil is no longer whispering his lies. He is shouting them into our ears from rooftops but he will never distract us.

Why does he lie so much you ask? Deception is the only game left for the enemy. He has no legal ground to accuse us or curse us. Check with Colossians 2:14, Galatians 3:13. The enemy wants to convince us to voluntarily give up our throne. He is a thief, a liar and a murderer. Read here: John 10:10 (NLT) “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.”

Facts are however stubborn. God’s purposes will excel in our lives. The very fact that you are here bears testimony to God’s power and might. The reality is that God already won and His purposes will not be thwarted. Read here: Job 42:2 (ESV):  “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.”

Consider how the enemies have assembled against you and still failed to defeat you. The devil fought against you when you didn’t even know it and still lost. He plants evil dreams, doubt, meaningless thoughts, guilt and condemnation in us and still fails to pull us down.

God will get you out of the imaginary binder the devil tries to put you in. The truth is, you are a child of God. Chosen before time to manifest His goodness. Nothing is too hard for God. Whatever He promised to do He will do. You are the very presence of God on earth. The evidence of God’s power. You and I are the legitimate rulers of this earth through the active and indwelling presence of Christ in us! Hard to believe, but God made is so.

Read here: Jeremiah 32:17 (ESV): “Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”

The pharisees saw that Jesus had power over death after raised Lazarus and they conspired to kill Lazarus. God now raised us from the death and saved us from darkness, the enemy conspires to kill us but he already failed. Ignore the lies, focus on the truth. We run this world and we will assert Christ’s dominance one way or the other!

Here is a sobering scripture to think about: 1 Peter 5:8 (GNB) “Be alert, be on the watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams round like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”

*Treasures in claypots*

Beloved, for His own glory (so that no man can boast) God put His Holy Spirit and the gospel of the glory of Jesus Christ in ordinary people. The message of the adoption of sons and eternal life as well as victory over satan through Christ sounds too simple to many people.  We are not just preaching about peace and comfort to a select few or only in the afterlife.

We preach victory through the indwelling power of Jesus Christ right here and now. But this truth is all mumbo jumbo from “bible thumpers” to those who are perishing. Read here:  2 Corinthians 4:3 (GNB) “For if the gospel we preach is hidden, it is hidden only from those who are being lost.”

Imagine hiding diamonds worth millions in an old hand made teddy bear. Many learned people fail to understand the word of God. Satan totally blinds their minds. Check with

2 Corinthians 4:4 (GNB) “They do not believe, because their minds have been kept in the dark by the evil god of this world. He keeps them from seeing the light shining on them, the light that comes from the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.”

Simple people have been sent to preach a life changing message: *Jesus Christ is Lord!*  Read here: 2 Corinthians 4:5 (GNB) “For it is not ourselves that we preach; we preach Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. “

God sent this message (of the Lordship of Jesus) as light that only a handful can see. The word Lord (Adonai) means owner. We all had a previous owner (satan ruling in us through sin). Jesus Christ however  owns all things but He has not been revealed to those who claim to know or have enlightenment.

 Thankfully His light (this great hidden knowledge) shines in our hearts. Read here: 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NLT) For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.”

God could have used angels to preach this gospel (or professors of theology or noble price winners etc) but He chose ordinary looking people. He hid His treasure is claypots. Just like clay we are fragile and prone to frustration but He (through His indwelling power) strengthens those who believe. Read here: 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NLT) “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”

Many people through the exercise of certain freedoms, types of education and strange new age  associations have failed to receive the revelation of the gospel. To them it is nonsense. Check with 1 Corinthians 1:27 (GNB) “God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful.”

Some through research and much reasoning have failed to understand the gospel. They look down on those who believe and dismiss them as simple minded. Read here:  1 Corinthians 1:28 (GNB) “He chose what the world looks down on and despises, and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important.”

Yet we who have the indwelling presence of the very Source of eternal Life (Jesus Christ) know that we are not simple. God is mighty through us to change the world and free minds through His word. God is glorified in our simplicity and weakness.

He will save many people through ex convicts, former addicts and society’s rejects as well as simple looking folk. The containers (us who believe) may look simple, but the contents (Christ Jesus) is certainly not!

*It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom*

Jesus Christ came to re introduce a kingdom here on earth NOT to start a religion. We are kingdom citizens with a dominion mandate, we were not called to take part in blind rituals. This is the pleasure of the Father in heaven, to give us the kingdom. Read here: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32)

In this kingdom of the Living Father, we are all His sons and daughters. This was His plan from the beginning. We rule the earth in His stead and according to His will. Read here: Ephesians 1:5, 9: “He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will… making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ.”

We had lost our control (through the fall in the garden of Eden). We became slaves to fallen angels who rule through darkness (lies and ignorance, manipulation, domination & control).  Our priestly and kingly identity (and all other forms of our identity) as well as relationship with God were intentionally twisted to keep us in slavery to elementary (foul) spirits.

 Check Colossians 1:13: “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son.”

 Our elder brother, Lord and King Jesus Christ came to earth and rescued us by paying a high price (his own blood) to free us from those who had control over us (ruling spirits). Through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, we received our kingdom (Not religion) back.

 Check Hebrews 12:28: “Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe,”

Prophets of old saw this kingdom being given to us by our Father. The enemy (Lucifer and his fallen angels) lost their bid to keep us in endless slavery (we were slaves to fear of death, guilt, intimidation through dreams, requests for endless sacrifices, and various forms of demonic bullying).  Daniel forsaw the kingdom coming back to us.

Check Daniel 7:27: “Then the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of *the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High* ; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.”

I invite you all brothers and sisters to a victorious kingdom. A kingdom where you rule over this earth in union with Jesus Christ to the glory of our Heavenly Father.

*To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?*

Greetings people of God. The Lord works in mysterious ways. How He saved the world from damnation was indeed mysterious. Even angels need the church to reveal it to them. The arm of the Lord (Jesus Christ) is often mysteriously hidden not many people will understand even if we explain it all day.

This prompted the Prophet Isaiah to also ask an important proohetic question. Read here: Isaiah 53:1(NIV) “Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah was essentially asking God this question; “Lord the way you want to save people is so mysterious and hidden, will they get it?”

Indeed the mysteries of the Cross are quite puzzling. Many people who love God still have no idea how Jesus Christ is manifesting and operating in their own generation. Check with Colossians 1:27 (GNB) “God’s plan is to make known his secret to his people, this rich and glorious secret which he has for all peoples. And the secret is that Christ is in you, which means that you will share in the glory of God.”

Do not think that God wanted to hide the mystery of Christ forever. He is revealing Him to us. Christ is living and working in people’s lives today as the Holy Spirit. God is still living in the flesh. Many people rejected Him when He came before and many are still rejecting Him to this day.

When Jesus Christ came as a savior among the Jews, they could not process it and they struggled with it. So they rejected Him and had Him crucified.  Some Jewish leaders still claim to be waiting for the Messiah when He already came. There is no question about it.

Check with  1 Timothy 3:16 (NLT) “Without question, this is the great mystery of our faith:  Christ was revealed in a human body and vindicated by the Spirit.  He was seen by angels and announced to the nations.  He was believed in throughout the world and taken to heaven in glory.”

To this day through our faith we know that Jesus Christ lives through us and is transforming the world, one life at a time. Many are being saved from the bondage of the law, the devil’s deception and systematic spiritual oppression.

The mystery of the cross is that even gentiles (those who were not born as Jews) were saved too without having to live a jewsish life. We are saved through faith in Christ. We too are heirs together with those of Israel who believe in Jesus Christ. We were not called to observe Jewish sabbaths or ceremonial laws but we are saved by Grace and faith in Jesus Christ.

Read here:  Ephesians 3:6 (NIV) “This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.”

The hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save. But those who have received Him are few. I pray that in His own way God may reveal His son to you!

I leave you to meditate on this precious scripture: Ephesians 3:10

(NLT) “God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”

*Learn to take God at His word*

Take God at His word. Many believers do  not believe in God’s word. Being a Christian is seen as decent and culturally or even politically correct. So people use that label but do not believe in anything God says. God cannot amd doesn’t lie. I’m surprised we doubt Him so much.

Check with Numbers 23:19 (ESV): “God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?”

We look at our surroundings and we use it as proof that there is no God. Or that God is an abstract concept. God exists and everything He said He intends to fulfill. Read here: 2 Corinthians 1:20 (ESV): “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.”

When our wallets run dry, the way we panic is so shocking. One wonders if God’s promise to supply our needs was just another lie. Jesus Christ told us that God takes care of lilies and sparrows, so He will take care of us. Paul says God will supply all our needs. Check with Philippians 4:19 (ESV): “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

When it comes to salvation many who gave their lives to Christ do not believe they are saved. Some do not believe they have eternal life. But the  Bible clearly tell us that those who believe, receive eternal life. Read here: John 3:16 (NIV): “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

When it comes to the promise of the Holy Spirit some churches even teach against Him. They forbid speaking in tongues or any displays of the Spirit’s power. They do not want Him anywhere near them. Yet He came to help. Check with John 14:16 (GNB) “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you for ever.”

Did Jesus Christ not promise that He will come  along with the Living Father to dwell in us? Yet this idea is still strange and frowned upon by many “believers”. Read here: John 14:23 (GNB) “Jesus answered him, “Whoever loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and my Father and I will come to him and live with him.”

The Jesus Christ we now claim to believe in is so different from the Son of God. We are building Him up as we go. He hates sinners (not sin). He cannot provide for us (hence all the stress we all have over food, shelter and drink), He does understand us and most importantantly, He cannot be taken at His word. Think seriously about what you struggle to believe in your walk with God. What is the basis of your unbelief?

*How to live a surrendered life?*

A “surrendered life” in the biblical sense is not about giving up in defeat, but rather about yielding to God’s will, trusting in His sovereignty, and allowing Him to direct our paths. It’s a conscious decision to relinquish control, recognize His ultimate authority, and align our desires with His. I call upon all of us to live a surrendered life!

1. *A Living Sacrifice – Giving Our Whole Being to God* :

 Romans 12:1-2 (ESV): “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”

Surrender is a key principle of being used by God. You and I must decrease and yeild to God’s will more and more. The life you live is not yours Christ lives in us and works His purposes through us.

Read here: Galatians 2:20: “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

2. *Denying Self and Following Christ* :

 Luke 9:23 (ESV): “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'” This is a direct call to surrender our personal agenda, desires, and comforts (deny self) and embrace the path of suffering and sacrifice that

accompanies following Jesus (take up his cross daily).

3. *Trusting God’s Plan and Wisdom* :

 Isaiah 55:8-9 (ESV): “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Acknowledging God’s superior wisdom and ways is crucial to surrender. It means releasing our own limited perspectives and trusting His perfect plan.

4. *Submission to God’s Authority* :

 1 Peter 5:6-7 (ESV): “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him,

because he cares for you.” Humility is key to surrender. We humble ourselves by submitting to God’s sovereign power and releasing our worries to Him, trusting in His care.

5. *Obedience to God’s Will* :

 John 14:15 (ESV): “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”

  Love for Jesus is intrinsically linked to obedience. A surrendered life is one that actively seeks to obey His commands.

_A surrendered life is a dynamic, daily process of releasing our grip on control, trusting God’s perfect love and wisdom, and actively aligning our will with His. It is the path to true freedom, peace, and purpose in Jesus Christ_ .

*We all have a stronger testimony*

In many churches that believe in testimony time. I have observed how people sit down because *there is nothing to testify about*. Life is hard and prayers have not been answered. A few brave people go to the front to thank God for just being  healthy and alive. But there is a testimony we all should give all the time; *a stronger testimony* .

Read here: 1 John 5:9 -10 “We believe human testimony; but God’s testimony is *much stronger* , and he has given this testimony *about his Son* . So *all who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own hearts* ; but those who do not believe God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed what God has said about his Son.”

All who believe have the same testimony in their hearts. It is not about your physical bodies (human testimony). It is a testimony about Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We all have that same *stronger* testimony. Are you getting curious? This is the testimony you should give as many times as you can whenever you get a chance. If you deny that testimony you make God (the Living Father) to be a liar!

This is the testimony. Read here:1 John 5:11-12 ” The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son.

*Whoever has the Son has this life* ; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”

It does not say; God will one day give or may decide to give us eternal life. But has given us (those who believe) eternal life. So do you mean that we actually (in the present) have eternal life? Well read for yourself here:  1 John 5:13 ” I am writing this to you so that you may know that *you have eternal life*  — you that believe in the Son of God.”

As long as you believe in the Son of God, yes you have eternal life. Wait a minute, so what then is eternal life? Does it mean my physical body won’t die? Close but not close enough. Its about knowing the true God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Read here: John 17:2 -3 ” even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. *This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus whom You have sent* . “

Your spirit is now reconciled with the one True Father and you believe in His Son Jesus. I testify to you today (as you must testify to others) that you have eternal life through Jesus. We will talk later about what this all means in our next sermon!
