for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.
II Timothy 2:9 NKJV

There are many powerful revelations and insights that Paul taught Timothy, his spiritual son, so that Timothy would not be taken aback or retreat from being bold in preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God.

Here Paul shares his life experience that the truth he preached has set people free but has made him suffer persecution and being called an evil doer.

This persecution did not come from non-religious people but came from the religious people of his day. The very people who were supposed to teach the gospel of the kingdom of God have caused him to be chained.

But Paul showed Timothy that they can chain him but the gospel of the kingdom of God cannot be chained.

When the truth of God reigns in our mind and soul, there is nothing that can stop us from delivering the message of hope to the world.

Therefore, when we are persecuted, judged, or even taken into prison for the sake of the gospel, we ought to keep preaching Jesus and the resurrection power that is in us.

We must not let offence pull us down; let no backbiting or slandering be something we consider, but Jesus Christ and the truth that sets people free.

Every person who preaches the truth that liberates people may face some form of persecution. The enemy, the devil hates when people are free and liberated in God's love.

Let us be strong in the Lord, don't let anything disqualify us. Let not our past and even our current state of being disqualify us because Jesus has qualified us all in Him.

Let us be bold to proclaim the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord.

And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze;
Exodus 25:3 NKJV

When God told Moses to build Him an earthly sanctuary for His presence to dwell, God told Moses to bring the finest.

If there were a valuation made in the area, the tabernacles God told Moses to build would stand far and above everything else in value.

If the old tabernacle made with the best the earth can provide and put together by the best skilled man of the earth, how much more greater are the tabernacles that is made by God himself?

Yes, we are the temple of the living God. God has made us with His own image and in His own likeness. He called us His own children and an heir of His kingdom.

The greatest value, the highest position and the best place to be is what Christ has offered to all mankind. To become children of God.

The tabernacle of Moses is where people go to meet with God, the new tabernacle that Jesus made is where God meets with people through His body.

God heals the people through His hands and speaks comfort through His mouth. That is through His children who is called as the body of Christ.

We are carriers of the glory of God, the goodness of God and the miracles of God. So that everyone who comes to know us will come to know God and will be touched by God.

The temple God told Moses to build provided a temporal measurement for the people's salvation but the temple Jesus had built provides an eternal solution for the salvation of all mankind.

Therefore, let us bring ourselves together according to God's purpose and be the carriers of His glory here on this earth.

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
Ephesians 4:15 NKJV

Paul taught believers to be equipped by the five-fold ministry so that we will not be tossed and turned like children in the faith but grow to maturity in our walk with God.

Gathering all into unity is not about united unto any idea that sounds right but specifically to be united into Christ Jesus our Lord. For many in those days teach sincerely and have united people to an idea that have led many astray.

Everything that we learned and apply in our lives needs to be reflecting Jesus, united in Him and in all that He has given to us.

Teaching them in love, for love covers a multitude of sin. Our teaching must not lead to condemnation but bringing people as a part of the body of Christ that is loved by God our Father and Jesus Himself being the Head of the body.

Our growth must be towards becoming more like Jesus in all of our five senses. Taking all that Christ has done in our spirit and applying it in every aspect of our lives.

The gifts have been given, the payment for sin has been paid, authority has been restored and every curse has been broken. All we need to do is to start living with a grateful heart, thanking Jesus for all He has done for us.

It is important that we check our personal growth, our input (learning) and our output (putting into practice).

This helps us to start living in the supernatural power and love of our Father in heaven.

Let us keep growing in love, lifting every part of us, stirring ourselves up in the Holy Spirit and live in His glory.

from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians 3:15 NKJV

Paul said that he bowed his knees with such gratitude to know that he did not exist just when he is born of earthly parents but his identity comes from His Father in heaven.

This is not something Paul took lightly. Instead, his life is established in the truth that what Christ has established is his new identity.

Paul's revelation comes from this perspective, seeing everything from the eternal perspective, divine and born of the spirit that he has become a child of the living God.

The name speaks of identity. We are named by God which our Father holds our name, carved in the palm of His hand. God who is eternal and changes not have carved us in the palm of His hand.

This is so rich and so much to take in from what Paul stated here. The abundance of God our Father is so big and there is so much God has stored up for His children.

It is up to us to know Him and know what He has established for us. So that we can live in His fullness and not miss out on the best God has set for us.

We need to see beyond the natural, earthly and daily activities and begin to function from our divine nature that God has given to us.

Exercise our spiritual gifts, walk in our spiritual identity and flow through all that Christ has placed in us.

Let us be conscious of our new identity and live in the abundance of God.

And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:16 NKJV

Paul warned and encouraged believers not to fall into the trap of a religious spirit that loves to operate in the flesh so that they can boast about their own righteousness.

Paul once again emphasised to keep our focus on Christ, cultivate what Christ has deposited in us, and live life led by the Holy Spirit.

Paul said that if we walk by this rule, it means to keep ourselves in the central message of the gospel that salvation is received by faith in Christ alone.

It means to anchor our lives in Christ and believe that all Christ has done has become our foundation on which we build our lives.

When we walk by this rule, we will walk in the very peace that surpasses all understanding. It means no calamity will shake or bother us anymore.

We can live in confidence in the safety of God's mercy. For we are saved in His mercy while we were still a sinner and now we are blessed to continue in the mercy that shapes our entire being to shine for Him.

This rule keeps us in line with what Christ has done for us and helps us to become the person God has intended for us.

We must be vigilant not to entertain religious rituals but learn to walk in a relationship with Jesus. Not ritualistic but conscious of His presence all the days of our lives.

Let us all walk by this rule, live in the powerful grace and love of our Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit.

But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:36 NKJV

Jesus went about healing the people who had all kinds of sicknesses and diseases. Preaching the gospel of the kingdom to all who were on His journey.

While He was ministering, He saw the multitudes and He was moved with compassion. He was moved because they were scattered, weary and like sheep without a shepherd.

What Jesus saw was a group of people who were hungry but have no right leadership to guide them in the right path.

The religious leaders at that time were not setting the people free. Instead, they were loading burdens on the people that the religious leaders themselves do not carry.

What moved Jesus is the lack of right leadership. Paul picked it up in his spirit and said you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ but a few fathers.

Fathers nurture their children with one main motive. That the children would be in a better position than them. Everything that the father does for the children is to make sure they will have a better life ahead.

Leadership in the kingdom of God is to father the next generation. It is about guiding everyone to fulfill their full potential Christ has made for them.

This means to lift each other above ourselves. Fathers bring correction, not to pull them down but to cut off everything that will pull them down.

We too need to be moved with compassion for one another, to guide, lead and encourage to their best position in Christ.

Let us draw all to the place Christ has placed us and bring glory to His Name.

I will plant them in their land, And no longer shall they be pulled up From the land I have given them,” Says the Lord your God.
Amos 9:15 NKJV

Israel has gone through terrible times because of their disobedience, refusing to follow the way of blessings that the Lord had provided.

They have turned everything and their doings are like a performance of
self-gaining, prideful, and lost their identity as people of God.

But in the end, the prophet Amos receives a word of restoration for Israel, and their redemption is announced.

Just as Israel will be restored to its identity and never be pulled out again. We too who are the spiritual house of God shall remain and be built in God.

In Christ, we have a better place, a better identity and it will not pass away. We have received eternal life, great and precious promises given to cut through every plot of the enemy.

This is our day that the Lord has made.
This is our time to shine His glory and power. For we live in the glorious power of Christ every day.

We no longer step in and out of the presence of God like in the old covenant. We live in His presence at all times. For God has made us His dwelling place.

We need to be conscious of who we carry inside of us, the power that is within us and His word to be released in the world.

We have been appointed by God as His, as His hands and His feet. Let us go with confidence and be the light that God has sent to the world.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
Isaiah 6:8 NKJV

Isaiah the prophet is one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament. He saw and prophesied our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah did not start great and he had issues just like everyone else. Isaiah presented himself as a man with unclean lips and who lived amongst people with unclean lips.

God caused Isaiah to see and receive this vision while being in the state of his old identity. He was greeted but he was not able to be used by God until his identity changed.

The angel took a live coal and touched Isaiah's mouth and said “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.”

Isaiah was pronounced clean, iniquity taken away and his sins purged. This is the new identity that Isaiah started to function in his prophetic ministry.

Isaiah did not qualify to be a messenger of God but God qualified him by what the angel had done.

If a coal from God's realm can transform Isaiah from unworthiness to be one among the great prophets, HOW MUCH MORE QUALIFIED we are who have been CLEANSED BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, SON OF THE LIVING GOD.

Jesus has qualified us in Him through His death and resurrection. He had presented us holy and blameless before our Father in heaven.

This is the confidence we need to have and function with boldness to declare the works of God in this world.

Therefore, we are the ones who have been called to go and display God's glory, power, and love so that many can come into the saving knowledge of Christ.

Let us be bold in what Christ has done for us and let us go with boldness to declare His kingdom.

For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
Hebrews 4:8 NKJV

This passage is about the Sabbath rest, how the law of Moses has given the Israelites a day to cease from all their works and rest in God.

The journey of preparation for a permanent rest continues by entering Canaan and then throughout the generation to be finally found in Jesus Christ.

True rest is not about taking a break from our physical work but it is about spiritual rest. It is about being complete in our spiritual identity through Christ.

The rest begins when we come into understanding that in Christ is the fullness of rest. It is about living from a position of completeness, needing nothing else but Christ.

All the rest in the Bible points to Christ, the eternal rest for all mankind. It brings our entire being to acknowledge the work Christ has finished.

There is no more work to be done for us to be partakers of the divine nature. We have it all in Christ.

We are invited to live in this place of rest, to be confident in Him who has established us now till eternity.

Each one needs to develop this understanding and be transformed by the truth Christ has brought to all mankind.

It is important to give our physical body a rest and be revived. But it is of far greater importance to give our entire being the true rest that Jesus has brought to all mankind.

Let us rest in Christ and in all that He has done for us and live knowing all will be well with our lives.

You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.
Hebrews 2:7 NKJV

The writer spoke about Jesus, who willingly laid down His heavenly glory and took the form of flesh, so that He could be the perfect sacrifice for all mankind.

After Jesus took the form of flesh, he lived on earth and was baptised. Heaven opened and the Holy Spirit came down and REMAINED.

This is the first time the Holy Spirit REMAINED and dwelt in a person. This is such a powerful picture for us who believe in Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God.

This makes Jesus able to walk in the flesh with the divine power of God, showing all who believe in Him can also walk with the divine power of God.

The early church in the book of Acts experienced and lived in the divine power of God as part and parcel of their daily life.

Jesus took the place of a man so that we, as mankind, can partake in His divine nature and live as children of God.

Our Father in heaven has sent His Son Jesus and filled believers with His Spirit so that we all can live in God's power and glory.

Jesus has given His glory to His church to liberate people from the bo***ge of satan and to bring them into oneness with Christ our Lord.

We all have become God's children and God Almighty has become our Father. We can no longer be lonely because our Father never leaves us nor forsakes us.

Christ came down so that we can come up and live in His glory and power. Let us rise to the place Christ has placed us and start changing lives in and around us.

Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
