FELLOWSHIP OF THE HEAVENLY PANTHEON

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (1 Corinthians 1:9).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
I'm ever so grateful to the Lord for all that He's made possible and available to us in Christ Jesus. Think about the possibility of fellowship with God. You wouldn't find that in any religion, as no religion offers you fellowship with God. But Jesus brought us into fellowship with God. What an amazing reality!

In our prayers, for example, there're special kinds of communications with God that help us build our spirits, because we're in a rich fellowship with the Lord. The Bible says in 1 John 1:3, "That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."

Also, 1 Corinthians 1:9 says, "God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." The Apostle Peter takes it further in 2 Peter 1:3-4. He says, "According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature..."

The Greek word that's translated "partakers" comes from the same root word as fellowship; it's "Koinonia." Thus, "partakers of the divine nature" is translated from "koinonos theias phuseos," and that means associates of the God-kind. This implies that we've been brought into the fellowship of the divine, heavenly pantheon.

No wonder the Bible says, "... Ye are gods..." (Psalm 82:6). The Lord Jesus, quoting the psalms, reiterated this truth in John 10:34, "...Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?" This is the wonder of Christianity; it's the whole essence of the

DON'T FORGET WHO YOU ARE

πŸ“–β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
God gave us His Word to enable us see ourselves the way He sees us, understand things from His perspective, and live to fulfil His perfect will. God's Word reveals God's Image and opinion of you, which is the image and opinion He wants you to have of yourself.

So as you study the Word and see your true image and identity, retain the picture; don't forget who you are. James 1:23-24 says, "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."

Observe the underlined portion. Interestingly, it doesn't say that the one who doesn't do the Word forgot what he looked like"; rather, it says such a fellow is like a man who looks carefully at his own natural face in a mirror, thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and forgets "the kind" or "the type" of man that he saw.

God's Word reveals the type or kind of person you are; the "species" of being that you are. That's extraordinary. For example, in 2 Peter 1:4, the mirror-the Word-shows that you're a partaker of the divine nature, an associate of the God-kind.

In Ephesians 1:22, the mirror shows that you're seated together with Christ, and all things are under your feet. You have dominion over all things. You reign victoriously over Satan, sickness, failure and death. Hallelujah! This is who you are according to God's Word; live accordingly. Praise God!

YOU'RE HIS GLORY

πŸ“– ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him (Ephesians 1:17).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
In this beautiful prayer for the Ephesian church, the Apostle Paul referred to our heavenly Father as the "Father of glory." That's quite instructive. He isn't saying that God is a "glorious Father," but that He's the Father of glory. It tells you who you are; you are "Glory!" That's your Name.

If a man is called the father of John, then it means he has a son called John. If God is the Father of Glory, and you're His son (1 John 3:1), then your name is "Glory!" You might say, "Pastor Chris, that's just a conjecture"; no! What is Jesus called?

Hebrews 1:3 says He's the brightness of God's glory, and the express image of His person. Jesus is the effulgence of God's glory; He's the manifestation of the glory of God. Jesus is the glory of God encapsulated in a body. And the Bible says in 1 John 4:17 that as He is, so are we in this world.

Making us His glory is part of what He came to do. Hebrews 2:10 says, "For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory..." Hallelujah!

Then 2 Corinthians 3:18 (AMPC) tells us something remarkable. It says, "And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendour...." Observe that it says the Word of God is a mirror, just as James also tells us in James 1:23.

But here's the most beautiful part: When you look in a mirror, you see yourself. Now, 2 Corinthians 3:18 says when you look in the mirror of God, you see the glory of God. How can you see the glory of God in the mirror, if you are not the glory of God? Every good mirror reflects or proje

HIS SPIRITUAL CLOUD

πŸ“–β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”
Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go (Nehemiah 9:12).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
The opening verse brings to mind what happened to the children of Israel as they journeyed out of Egypt. The Bible tells us in Exodus 13:21-22, that they carried their own atmosphere through the wilderness for forty years.

Nehemiah also referenced this atmosphere of bliss in which the children of Israel lived. Nehemiah 9:21 (AMPC) says, "Forty years You sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell."

The Lord hasn't changed. The Father's loving-kindness didn't end with the children of Israel; it's even better with us today. When you were born again, you were born into God's glory; born into God's spiritual cloud; that's the Holy Spirit. You live in His presence, in a divine atmosphere of joy, bliss and glory, where you're sustained and nurtured by Him, absolutely independent of circumstances. You're fully at rest.

Those who live outside this atmosphere of bliss are the ones who face disappointments, anger, frustration, and discomfort; always agitated from within because nothing seems to be going on right.

But in Christ, which is the supernatural environment you were born into, your joy and satisfaction overflows. His presence in, with, and about you makes you an oasis of love in a troubled world. Be mindful of this always. There could be chaos or anarchy everywhere, but in Him, you're at peace and in safety. Hallelujah!

PRAISING HIM-OUR CALLING

πŸ“–β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”
Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding (Psalm 47:6-7).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
The scriptures give us more than enough information on God's relationship with us and how He defines His role as God, as Lord, and as our Father. In each of these roles, He expresses Himself differently. He also wants us to know our role: the various roles we play with respect to Him, His Kingdom, one another, and the world.

However, in every single role that we play, He expects us to praise Him. Thus, the primary reason we come together as God's people is to offer praises to God. For a long time, this seemed to have taken a back seat in the Church, but thank God there's been a change!

God's people all over the world, by the Spirit, are recognizing their role as priests to offer sacrifices of praise to God. That's our primary calling. He said in 1 Peter 2:9, "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light."

When we live according to our calling to offer praise to the Lord- extolling His greatness and worshipping His holy Name-we will most certainly enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ as Paul puts it in Romans 15:29. It's God's will for us.

Even now, begin to praise the Lord! Remember, praise must have content; therefore, offer to the Lord words of praise and thanksgiving; make confessions of His greatness, grace and glory. Declare that there's none like Him, for His Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion endures from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

MEDITATE ON THE WORD DAY AND NIGHT

πŸ“–β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (Joshua 1:8).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
There's a word I'll like you to notice in the opening text. It's the word, "observe". Many Bible scholars have had difficulty interpreting it, they've wrestled for years with that terminology. To them, it means "that you may understand how to do", but that's not it.

The Hebrew word translated observe is "shΓ€mar"; it means to watch for the purpose of doing. It's like looking out for something so you can do; "copying to do" or "hearing to do"! Following what the Lord told Joshua, if you'd meditate on the Word as you should, you'd be propelled to do what the Word says.

Paul alludes to this in Philippians 2:13 when he said, "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." This is akin to what the Lord said to Joshua in the theme verse. Do you want to be successful, prosperous, and deal wisely in the affairs of life? Do you want to be able to help other people become successful and prosperous? Meditate on the Word, day and night.

Meditating on the Word will give you an understanding, a motivation, and an inspiration to do what God wants you to do. Practice this for at least half an hour every day. Psalm 1:1-3 further tells us the overwhelming blessings this will produce in your life: you'll be standing firm like a flourishing tree planted by God's design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life; never dry, never fainting, but ever blessed and unendingly prosperous. Hallelujah!

BANISH ANGER

πŸ“–β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”β”
Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go (Proverbs 22:24).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
There're many things that could deface one's beauty in the spirit, one of them is anger. Our opening verse says, "Don't hang out with angry people; don't keep company with hotheads" (MSG). In other words, avoid them. When God tells you to avoid something or someone, you better take it seriously.

You might say, "I only get angry once in a while"; no! Anger is a quick destroyer, avoid it! Don't even try to "tame" it; banish it. If you've been termed or described as someone who's hotheaded and quick to anger, get before the Lord in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to help you deal with anger. Then give yourself to the Word in meditation.

Don't try to suppress anger; get rid of it. You may say to me, "Pastor Chris; I've always had anger in me since I was much younger, and by following God all through the years, I've been able to suppress my anger with the Word." That's wonderful, but God doesn't want you at that level. It's not a matter of suppressing the anger with the Word, it's a matter of not even allowing anger any space in your life.

Harbouring anger has resulted in some deadly ailments and unexplainable challenges in the health of many people. But I tell you, if they'd eschew anger, they'll be healthy. The Bible says anger dwells in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9). And in Psalm 107:17, who does the Bible say are afflicted? Fools! "Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted."

The scriptures are replete with verses that admonish us against anger. In Psalm 37:8 (CEV), the Bible says, "Don't be angry or furious. Anger can lead to sin." Paul, in Ephesians 4:31 (AMPC) warns, "Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity)...be banished from y

The Holy Spirit is the one who gives life, that which is of the natural realm is of no help. The words I speak to you are Spirit and life... (John 6:63 TPT).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
Acts 19:20 tells us that in the city of Ephesus, "So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed." This is no surprise at all because when you study Revelation 2:2-3, the Apostle John, by divine revelation, unveiled the state of the Ephesian church. It was a very spiritual church.

However, in Ephesians 3:14-16, the Apostle Paul prayed for them and said, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man."

He said, "I am praying for you that God would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened (invigorated) with might-miracle-working ability. He's emphasizing the importance of giving recognition to the working of God's Word in our lives and the working of the Holy Spirit in our Christian growth.

Another version says to be strengthened with excellence by the Holy Spirit in your inner man; so that what you learn of God's Word will not just be in your head but working by the Holy Spirit in your life. He's talking about the power of God's Word and the Holy Spirit working out that which is the perfect will of God in your life so that your Christianity will be effective and evincive.

IT BEGINS WITH THE MIND

In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable (Philippians 4:8 GNB).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
The Bible says, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isaiah 26:3). The Hebrew word translated "peace" is "Shalom"; It doesn't just mean peace in terms of quietness; it also stands for health, prosperity and rest. It refers to the rest of God with prosperity, health, strength and salvation.

However, these things are essentially determined by the content and quality of your mind. When your mind is stayed on the Lord and His Word, you'll experience perfect prosperity, health, rest, and strength. It's that simple.

Your mind is very important to God. That's where He seeks to work. If He can get a hold of your mind, you can be everything He wants you to be. You can become as healthy, prosperous, and successful as you ever want to be. So, it begins with the mind. Why is your mind so Important? It's because God has fashioned the mind as the instrument for your transformation.

The Bible says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:2). There're no limits to what you can achieve, and absolutely no restrictions to how high you can propel yourself in the highway of victory when your mind is governed and regulated by the Word.

With your mind established on the Word, the possibilities are endless. So always fix your mind on the beautiful realities of the Word. It's an effective way to create the ideal framework and system for your life and make the most of the unique life and blessings God has given you.

GIVE WITH THE RIGHT MENTALITY

πŸ“– ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred (Mark 4:8).

Pastor Chris Says
━━━━━━━━━━━
One of the most profound principles in the Word of God that guarantees a continuous increase in finances is the principle of giving. Your giving is a channel to facilitate your receiving, for there can be no receiving without first giving.

Sadly, a lot of people give to God with the mentality of lack or loss. No, that's not wise. Such a mentality stops the miracle of receiving from taking place. Kingdom consciousness of giving is different. When you give to God, be more conscious of the promise on your giving.

Remember what Jesus said about the sower who sowed his seeds on good ground. He said it yielded fruits that sprang up and Increased and brought forth thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold harvest (Mark 4:8). So, you could have a thirtyfold return, a sixtyfold return, or a hundredfold return on your giving.

With the right mentality, you can set in motion all the miracle- power of God to cause a thirtyfold, a sixtyfold, or a hundredfold return on what you've given! Train yourself to become positive with God in your giving. When next you give an offering or a seed to God, do it with the mentality of someone who is in the Kingdom and you'll have amazing testimonies.
