*Many have longed to see this day*

Beloved, I greet you all in the Name of Jesus Christ. We are living in the age of the Holy Spirit. A time that many ancient prophets spoke about and yearned to see. A time where the Spirit of God lives within us and God dwells among His people.

Joel spoke about this day. Read here:  Joel 2:28(GNB) “Afterwards I will pour out my Spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your old people will have dreams, and your young people will see visions.”

Abraham who was a friend of God, caught a glimpse of this day. And he was overexcited about it. Check with John 8:56 (ERV) “Your father Abraham was very happy that he would see the day when I came. He saw that day and was happy.”

People like old man Simeon prayed that God would at least allow them to see the one who would make it all happen before they died. He worked at the temple in the hope of one day seeing the fulfilment of the Messianic prophecy and he saw it.

Read here:  Luke 2:28-30 (ERV) “Simeon took the baby in his arms and thanked God: Now, Lord, you can let me, your servant, die in peace as you said. I have seen with my own eyes how you will save your people.”

We are in an era where ordinary people (including gentiles) no longer need a priest or prophet to speak to God. Jesus Christ made it possible for us to live with God in our mortal bodies. He removed the veil and ushered in a new era. An era of endless divine possibilities.

Even the great generals of faith from the old testament longed to experience what we have but they could not. Check with  Hebrews 11:39-40 (NLT) “All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us.”

God had something better for us. God made it possible for ordinary people to become vessels of honor. We (everyone who believes in Jesus Christ) walks around clothed with the very divine nature of God. We are reconciled with the Father. We are amabassadors of heaven. Hossana in the highest!

Matthew 21:9 (NKJV) “Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ Hosanna in the highest!”

No longer shall we worry, cry or be sad that God cannot hear us. All our burdens are carried by the Lord. We are no longer slaves to fear or enemies of God. We are children of an immortal parent. We are Christ in the flesh, the body of God. We are a divine emissary. A people belonging to God. We dominate this earth and subject fallen angels to the judgement of God.  What a time to be alive!

I leave you to meditate of this lovely scripture:  Revelation 21:3 (ERV) “I heard

a loud voice from the throne. It said, “Now God’s home is with people. He will live with them. They will be his people. God himself will be with them and will be their God.”

*Sons of an Immortal Parent*

We all know the power of parental genes. They affect your looks, shape and all mannerisms. Your child can look, talk and even behave like your late grand parents. These are physical genes but there are also spiritual genes which affect us all differently. Those born of God therefore bear the likeness and image of our heavenly Father.

How are we born of God? Read here:

1 Peter 1:23 (GNB) “For through the living and eternal word of God you have been born again as the children of a parent who is immortal, not mortal.”  Those who heard the message of salvation and believed, were born through the living and eternal word.

Some people are God’s creation but they definitely are Not His children*. _Your unbelieving friends and relatives are just God’s creatures_. You who believe in God however are his begotten children. Read here:  Romans 9:8 (GNB) “This means that the children born in the usual way are not the children of God; instead, the children born as a result of God’s promise are regarded as the true descendants.”

You were born of God due to His great mercy towards us. Yes it was your parents who may have planned to have you but it was God who desired to have you has His own son. Read here: Romans 9:16 (GNB) “So then, everything depends, not on what human beings want or do, but only on God’s mercy.”

From the day you believed, in Jesus Christ and gave your life to God, you were born of God. Your spirit was transferred from mortality to immortality. From your ordinary parents to an Eternal Parent. Check 1 John 5:1 “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well.”

Once you became God’s son, He put His Holy Spirit in you. His seed (Living Word) remains in you. The Holy Spirit stays with you, preserves you and keeps you from sin. Read here: 1 John 3:9 “No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.”

The world and its corruption cannot overcome you sons of God. You have victory even over the evil systems of the world that work against us. It is through faith (strongly believing this truth) that we embrace our sonship and divine adoption and live victoriously.

Check 1 John 5:4 “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

So therefore do not just think of yourself as a natural (normal or ordinary person.) You have a born again spirit. God is no longer just the Creator but your real Father. He gave birth to all of us sons of God. We are born in the very image of God to rule over this world and execute judgment over the ruling spirits of the darkness.

*I call upon all sons of God wherever they may be to rise up and transform the world around them with the Light*.

*God is not for sale!

Beloved I am concerned for you. I see many prominent church leaders charging a lot of money for one on one sessions and even impartations. But salvation is free. Read here:

Isaiah 55:1 (GW) “Listen! Whoever is thirsty, come to the water! Whoever has no money can come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk. You dont have to pay; its free!”

It is true, there are people of God who are selling the gospel for profit. Paul said we should certainly not sell God’s message for a profit. Check with 2 Corinthians 2:17 (ERV) “Certainly not those who are out there selling God’s message for a profit! But we don’t do that. With Christ’s help we speak God’s truth honestly, knowing that

we must answer to him. “

We all want to live in big houses, drive luxury cars and be famous but we must be careful not to fall into temptation. The temptation to fake miracles, preach for profit and even scam people. Check with

1 Timothy 6:9 (NLT) “But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.”

If your prophetic gift, healing gift or whatever gift you have came from God. Why are you selling it? Unless a witchdoctor imparted the gift on you, then we have a problem. God is the source of all good things. Right? Read here: James 1:17 (NIV) “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down

from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”

When Jesus Christ sent the apostles to do His work. He reminded them that they had freely received and should freely give. Read here: Matthew 10:8 (NIV) “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”

I know that Pastors need to eat and have families but the Lord can make ways for us to survive. Selling the gospel is not the solution. People travel to Nigeria, Ghana and lately Dubai with cash gifts to receive “higher annointing”. Others seed (money) into the man of God to partake of their anointing. You want to tell me that God is moved by your money to bless you with

spiritual gifts?

This is a fat lie. You are not being given the power of God but witchcraft and psychic powers. A man named Bar Jesus tried to pay money for the Holy Spirit. Read here:

Acts 8:18 (NLT) “When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power. “

Let us read how Peter treated him.

Acts 8:20 (GNB) “But Peter answered him, “May you and your money go to hell, for thinking that you can buy God’s gift with money! “

Peter told him (respectfully of course) to go hell! God is not for sale. So becareful about following a man of God who goes

around looking for impartations. You will be baptized in demonic fire!

May the full nature of Christ be formed in you

Children of God, we all ought create an environment that enables the very nature of Christ Jesus to be formed in us. This is true maturity and a true sign of growth for all children of God. Paul says we can even reach the very height of Christ’s full stature.

Read here: Ephesians 4:13 “And so we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God; we shall become mature people, *reaching to the very height of Christ’s full stature* .”

This is no small matter, the apostle Paul was in birth pains for this reality to manifest. Read: Galatians 4:19 “My dear

children! Once again, just like a mother in childbirth, I feel the same kind of pain for you *until Christ’s nature is formed in you* .”

For Christ’s nature to be formed in us, our hearts need to be rooted and grounded in (God’s) love. We (the church) need to seek to show the world the love of God. So that it would appear as if Christ himself is still on earth touching lives through us.

Read here:  Ephesians 3:17 -19 “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, so that you, together with all God’s people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ’s love. Yes, may you come to know his love — although it can never be fully known — and *so be

completely filled with the very nature of God.*” *And what is the nature of God? Well God is Love!*

 Before we were born again, we struggled to love, forgive and show mercy but now being filled by the nature of God, we can fully manifest the love of Christ. Read here:

Ephesians 4:24 “and you must put on the new self, *which is created in God’s likeness* and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.”

Paul gives some examples of how we as children of God can show maturity in our society and to one another. Read here: Ephesians 4:32 ” Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has

forgiven you.”

 Go out there confident of the Spirit of God who is in you and manifest Christ’s nature (His love) to your family, workmates and community!

People of God there are only two opposing forces in the universe. The Truth and the Liar. When we talk about the lies people think they are out there in the world. No its all playing out in the church. There is the true bride of Christ but there is also a false bride. The true bride that knows the groom, talks to him daily and is part of him. And another  false bride that hates the Holy Spirit and tries to leave separately from the groom.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Truth

(John 14:6). The devil however  is active in church as the liar and the murderer. Read here: John 8:44 (NLT) “For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. 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.”

The devil from the beginning started building his kingdom of lies. Remember from Genesis 3:1-5

he deceived Adam and Eve and they chose human effort over the Grace of God and Eternal life through Jesus Christ.

In his kingdom of lies, satan persuades people to believe that they will please God based on their own actions. That is tithing, keeping Sabbaths, seeding, paying for impartations of the holy Spirit etc. He cleverly removes Jesus (who is our life)  from being the center of Christian worship and adoration.

We already know that the devil shall be completely killed by our Lord Jesus. Read here:  2 Thessalonians 2:8 (GNB) “Then the Wicked One will be revealed, but when the Lord Jesus comes, he will kill him with the breath from his mouth and destroy him with his dazzling presence.”

In the mean time the kingdom of the liar and murderer satan, is building churches, establishing religions and funding schools of thought. He deceives those who are eager to find temporary solutions without building a relationship with Jesus Christ.  Read here: 2 Thessalonians 2:9(NLT) “This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.”

Satan deceives those who are already on their way to hell. Not the elect. Check with

2 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.”Compare with Revelation 16:14 and 2 Corinthians 11:3, 14-5. Also compare with Revelation 12:9, Revelation 20:3,8,10.

*One of the most common deceptions in church today is that of postponement* . People wait for what they were already given. God already gave us Christ to live through us and in us. We are not waiting to see Him one day. God already blessed us with all blessings on earth and in heavenly places. God already chose us, we are not waiting to be chosen. *Also not a few will be chosen but all who believe*.

 God already made us holy, righteous and pure. In as much as we yearn for heaven we know that by God’s grace and through Christ we are already sitting in heavenly places together with Christ.

But satan makes people wait for what they were already given. We have dominion over evil spirits now and today, we have the favor of God even without fasting for it. We are Christ manifesting in the flesh. The very presence of God. We do not hope to experience God’s love one day. We are the very manifestation of His love.  We have  all  things needed for a glorious life through Christ right here, right now!!

But satan’s kingdom fills our hearts with

lies, check with Acts 5:3

Compare with Luke 22:31. We are the glory of God, the kingdom of God is already manifesting through us. We will not be denied our kingdom privileges and rights and children of God. So the kingdom of lies is therefore defeated by the Truth, even Christ Jesus whose life is our light.

I leave you to meditate on this beautiful scripture: 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.”

Beloved consider that Jesus Christ once lived as a human being with known human parents but He placed His faith in God and constantly affirmed His divine identity. Jesus Christ openly declared that He was the Son of God no matter what.

He said things about His relationship with God (who He always referred to as His Father) that shocked his listeners. Read here:  Matthew 11:27

(NLT) “My Father has entrusted everything to me. No one truly knows the Son except the Father, and no one truly knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”

You might know the name of Jesus but that does not mean He has been revealed to you. He is still a mystery to many. Some will even die without truly knowing who he is. Unless the Father reveals him to them in this lifetime.

The miracles Jesus Christ performed were based on His relationship and deep knowledge of the Father. He openly told people that he could do nothing on His own but it was the Father working through Him.

 Check  John 5:19 (NLT) So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.”

If I ask any of us here to pray for sick person, cast out a demon or even

intercede for someone who needs a prayer (let alone perform a miracle) many will panic and showcase low self esteem. They will make it all about their shortcomings, lack of faith or doubt in God’s abilities. Jesus Christ however had a deep conviction that the Father would always show up and cause miracles to happen.

Do you remember what He said about raising the dead? Read here: John 5:21 (GNB) ” Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Son gives life to those he wants to.” Jesus Christ raised so many people from the dead on this very belief. The Living Father is also our Father, do we see ourselves having this much faith in Him?

Jesus performed miracles and preached the word with such great conviction, those

who heard and saw Him also believed that He was the Son of God. Read here: Matthew 14:33 (NKJV) “Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

I ask you today if your faith in the Father is now causing those around you to also make similar declarations about you? Are they seeing that you are truly the son of God? Jesus’ whole ministry until his crucifixion worked to prove that he was indeed the son of God check Mark 3:11, Luke 4:41 and Matthew 8:29.

No matter what you face in your life, this is also the deep conviction you need to hold on to. You are a child of God. The Creator of the whole universe is your Father.  Pause! Think about that for a

second! If you truly believe this as mightily as Jesus Christ did, then we need to see you making a change all around you and conquering territories for the kingdom of God.

*Don’t prophesy about me*

Children of God, I see that many people love prophecies. They go to prophets who tell them their past, how many children they have and what color of underwear that they are wearing. In the African context of prophetism, people want a man of God who finds a needle in haystack translated to mean (_anonhonga tsono_).

But you already knew about your situation, past and present. You are allowing someone to waste your time by telling you what you already knew. True prophets in the new covenant prophesy about Jesus Christ. They are witnesses of Jesus Christ inspired to speak about Him.

 Read here: Revelation 19:10 (ERV) “Then I bowed down before the angel’s feet to worship him. But the angel said to me, “Don’t worship me! I am a servant like you and your brothers and sisters who have the truth of Jesus. So worship God! Because the truth of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Prophesying in not predicting the future. That is too simple. True prophesy is about Jesus Christ always. Read here: 1 John 4:2 (NLT) “This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”

Some people are descendants from witchdoctors, diviners, pychics or even spirit mediums. They can all see visions

and “prophesy”. How then are we to know which one is from God? Check with  1 John 4:3 (NLT) “But if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist, which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here.”

People of God no true prophet talks about your aunty, uncle or grandmother dwelling in you. They all talk about Jesus Christ dwelling in us. We are being transformed into the image of Christ. Read here:  Romans 8:29 (GW) “This is true because he already knew his people and had already appointed them to have the same form as the image of his Son. Therefore, his Son is the firstborn among many children.”

Prophets are sources of knowledge about Jesus Christ. They are used by God to edify the church. Read here: 2 Peter 1:2 -3 (NKJV) “Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”

Jesus Christ is our life and anyone who can see in the Spirit should be able to witness this and speak this truth to the church. People who sin are encouraged to surrender to Christ who is our righteousness. People who are sick are told about the healing we have through the blood of Christ Jesus. Those who are weary are told to cast their burden unto Jesus.

This is true prophecy. For all problems Jesus Christ is the solution. With that in mind i leave you to meditate on this verse.

Romans 8:11 (NIV) “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”

When Jesus Christ lived as a human being on earth, He demonstrated that as long as we are filled with the Spirit of God, we can exercise dominion over nature. In particular today we see Jesus being invited to a wedding in Cana. Read here:  John 2:2 (NLT) “and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration.”

Let me tell you real change in your life happens when you invite the King of Kings into your life. Jesus was not invited to a church service but to a wedding. And problems started happening at the wedding that only Jesus could solve speedily. Check with  John 2:3 (NLT) “The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no

more wine.”

Wine represents Merryment, joy, gladness. More like what we get from the Holy Spirit. So the phrase “wine of gladness” is quite common in bible lingo. When your life, marriage, work etceteras lacks gladness. It becomes a chore very quickly. Who do you go to? The psychiatrist? Your aunty, uncle or a pastor maybe. These people who had invited Jesus ran to Him.

Jesus Christ wanted to see if they truly believed. He asked his own mother a hard question. Read here: John 2:4 (NIV) “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

It does not mean that He did not want to help. Many people think things are bad

because God is not interested in helping them. The truth is that many of us are not prepared to do what he tells us to do.  We expect God to follow our template, to do what we want him to do for us.

Read here:John 2:5 (NIV) ‘His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”  True victory through Jesus happens when you swallow your pride and move away from trying to go ahead of God. God first, you last. That’s how the equation works.

Jesus did not go to a mountain to pray he told the people to fill jars with water. The instruction was very strange. People needed wine but Jesus was telling them to fill jars with water. He is the living waters. Jesus was now exercising dominion over water as He did in creation. He was going

to make the wine using His dominion mandate.

Water was once commanded in Genesis 1:3 ff to bring out of it fish and all that moves within it and it obeyed. Now water was being commanded to turn into wine. Jesus Christ who lives within us has dominion over creation. We too through Him and in union with Him have dominion over creation. We are made in His image (Genesis 1:26).

When the miracle was done Jesus invited others to taste the wine. When your situation miraculously changes, people will come to see and experience it!  Read here:  John 2:8 -9 (ERV) “Then he said to them, “Now dip out some water and take it to the man in charge of the feast.” So they did what he said.Then the man in charge

tasted it, but the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine had come from, but the servants who brought the water knew. He called the bridegroom.”

When the wine of gladness is gone from your marriage, life, work, family, it’s time to exercise dominion through Jesus. We know that Jesus only wants you to invite Him into your situation but He already is the solution. Remember what he said to the Samaritan woman?

 Read here: John 4:7 (ERV) “A Samaritan woman came to the well to get some water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

Do you think Jesus was thirsty? He could snap His fingers and drink all the water

he wanted.  Jesus later revealed to her that He was the living water. The solution. God came to us because we needed Him.  Do you realize your need for Jesus today? The last time He was invited to a wedding but now he will be invited to your life. And through you miracles will happen in your situation.

We need to move with the Spirit of God. Alone life is hard but when Jesus becomes your life. Impossible things happen. I leave you to meditate on this beautiful scripture: 

John 4:24 (NKJV) “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Greetings im the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are children of the most high God. God spoke to the formless earth and things changed. That’s who He is and Who he made us to be also. This is His image, we are made in that very image.

Consider how the earth was when God arrived on the scene.  Read here: Genesis 1:2 (NLT) ‘The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.’

God saw the darkness but He did not agree with it. He commanded Light (a symbolism of Jesus Christ) to appear.  Check with Genesis 1:3 (NLT) ‘Then God

said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.’

God proceeded to create all things through that Light and all things consist and exist because of that Light. Read here: John 1:3 (GNB) “Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.”

The word of God (Jesus Christ) is the source of life. Eternal life. When we see poverty, suffering, sickness and pain around us. We speak the Word. Just like Jesus Christ did  in the beginning. We do not ask God why bad things are happening. We speak healing, deliverance, provision and life through faith in Jesus Christ. We don’t complain, we provide the answer to all problems (Jesus Christ).

His Life is the Light of man. We are in Him and He is our whole world. Read here:  John 1:4 (GNB) “The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity.”

During His earthly ministry Jesus Christ demonstrated the power of His word. There is power in speaking the word of God (through faith in Jesus Christ). Jesus spoke to storms and they obeyed Him.  Read here: Luke 8:24 (ERV) “The followers went to Jesus and woke him. They said, “Master! Master! We will drown!”Jesus got up. *He gave a command to the wind and the waves* . The wind stopped, and the lake became calm.”

You too can speak to your storms. And they will obey you. You are clothed with the

manifest presence of God. Speak to that marriage, speak to that cancer, speak the word of God until it obeys you. That is dominion! And you were created to exercise it!

I leave you to meditate on this scripture: Colossians 1:16 (ERV) “Through his power all things were made:things in heaven and on earth, seen and not seen—all spiritual rulers, lords, powers, and authorities.Everything was made through him and for him.”

Fellow believers consider this scenario. If someone buys groceries for you, would you allow yourself to be charged twice for them? Many believers are allowing themselves to be held at ransom for sins Jesus Christ paid for.

Where am I getting this? Read here:

1 Corinthians 7:23: “You were bought with a price; do not become bondservants of men.” Some preachers still talk about the sins of your forefathers needing to be settled. This is a false gospel.  No demon that follows your bloodline can still harm you. No generational curses to talk about, no inherited bondage to talk about.

Read for yourself here:  1 Peter 1:18-19: “knowing that you were ransomed from

the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.”

So if the scripture above is true as all scripture is, why are you being asked to  build an altar in your house and put money on it? There is only one altar that works for you now. The altar upon which the full price for your freedom was paid.

Brethren, this is the light (truth, enlightenment, eye openers) that you need to think about. Read here:  1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”

Do not doubt this truth for the gospel being preached about the need for money sacrifices is no gospel at all. This truth is to be received by faith. Read here: Romans 3:25: “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith.”

Your sins were forgiven, do not be guilt tripped into paying money or doing endless prayers for the sins of your forefathers. Read here: Hebrews 10:18: “Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.”
