Take up your cross and follow Jesus

Take up your cross and follow Jesus Fishers of men

Mark 10:27 NIV
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Scripture reminds us that there is absolutely nothing that our God cannot do. The virgin birth and turning water into wine were scientifically impossible but not with God. Feeding multitudes with five loaves and two fish defied economics, and Healing diseases with just a Word would be arguable in health sciences. But what is impossible with men is possible with God.

Whatever challenge you are going through today don't limit God. He is able to move in any situation. Nothing is too hard for Him.

Father we Praise you because you are all powerful. we Worship you because You are living and able and nothing is impossible with you. in Jesus' name Amen

1 John 1:5-10

This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 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 Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

2 Timothy 2:11-13
This is a faithful saying: for if we died with Him (To deny our will take up our cross and follow Christ) we shall also live with Him (Forever) if we endure (Till the end) we shall also reign with Him, if we deny Him, He also will deny us. if we are faithless, He remains faithful, He cannot deny himself

1 Kings 8:22-26
Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven; 23 and he said: “Lord God of Israel, there is no God in heaven above or on earth below like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts. 24 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. 25 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’ 26 And now i pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father

Deuteronomy 7:9
“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments

The Majesty and Condescension of God

Psalm 113:1-9

Praise the Lord!

Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the Sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations,
His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may seat him with princes—
With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

Before the returning of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" in his Grace and Mercy God will continue to ordain Men that will lead his people.. they might not be famous or popular but God trusted them with our Souls that must be shepherded to the correct God's intended destiny for us, which is Heaven not Hell. they carry the massage that will elevate and pull us to Maturity that leads to the beginning of all wisdom_ which is to fear God. these shepherd might not be driving big cars, having private jets & big houses as some preachers have; but what set these ministers of the gospel apart is they CARRY A VOICE AND AUTHORITY in the SPIRIT over our lives just like Jesus and the Apostles did in ancient times

The sad error in our Generation is when it comes to the Gospel many people are submitting to "POPULARITY AND FAME" rather than submitting to WHAT GOD HAS ORDAINED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM,
Some people want to submit to big trending churches. pastors and prophets who are pulling crowds, yet many of them you can't even TRACE THEIR FOUNDATION, you can't even TRACE THEIR LABOUR how and where it started,

Pray for the spirit of Discernment in order not to go with the crowd but with the spirit of God dwelling in his true ministers who serve and leading God's Church with a highest degree of Reverence and honest intentions and less so called Reverend that's highly honoured nowadays since it makes some to climb pulpits with so much pride rooted in self sufficient egotistical

Nowadays majority of the so called great man of God are emphasizing Miracles above the WORD and DISCIPLESHIP. believers don't grow by miracles, they grow by the word. some churches are not worth to fellowship with, come out of them; when it comes to miracles even king Pharaoh's Magicians could still do most of the miracles Moses did back then. It's risky to groom people by Miracles

Miracles attract the goats who fill most of the churches to full capacity yet spiritually remain poor.

While miracles financially benefit majority of those who perform them, in it for gain hence avoiding scriptures most of the time want to keep the goats to stay entertained so they can come back for more circus show that entertain them with miracles and wonders

When we speak about church growth we don't refer to number in attendance but spiritual maturity through sound doctrine; that's the element of church growth, not even blessings can be referred to church growth

Those who are truly called to shepherd the church of God. must do so with reverence; we can't be messing around with the congregation, every leader of the church will be held highly accountable for God's people

Worship is a Posture of reverence, humility, and surrender. It is not just an external expression, while beautiful sounds or music can be part of worship, true worship comes from the heart...
True Worship is about honoring and connecting with God, not just about performance or aesthetics.

Psalm 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, these O God, you will not despise."

Both prayer and worship require a sincere heart attitude, focusing on God's presence and character...

The bible says in the book of
Psalm 141:2 "May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus."

Ephesians 1:15-23
Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

THE POWER IS IN YOUR DECISION, CHOOSE, WHICH SLAVERY IS BETTER, WHICH NATURE YOU WILL CONTINUE WITH, LIFE OR DEATH

When we reject the Salvation of God through the Lord Jesus Christ, we are slaves to sin and our sinful nature controls us. Our thoughts are continually towards evil, and when we 'score' using unrighteous ways, we celebrate and feel good about it!
When we surrender our lives to Him we become free from sin and become slaves to righteousness, for then the nature of righteousness rules in our hearts. We no longer go out to seek to do that which is evil, and even when we do wrong, we feel remorseful and repent of it!
Whose slave are you, sin or righteousness?

Romans 6:16 (NKJV)
Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

Romans 6:18 (NKJV)
And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

Romans 6:20 (NKJV)
For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.

Romans 6:22 (NKJV)
But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

Romans 6:23 (NKJV)
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When this scripture says the wages of sin is death, it's referring to the second spiritual death in the lake of fire. a place called hell, or hades, it's a place of torment" a punishment for the Souls of those who disobeyed the will of the father till death. believe me you don't wanna go there after physical death life continues on the otherside; as for me

I would rather be a slave to righteousness, for it leads to eternal peaceful life in paradise, were the is no more pain or suffering, but harmony

Lord we thank You our Heavenly Father for your grace that saves us. Thank you for the gift of eternal life in your Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. help us to surrender ourlives to you O Lord. Set us free from the bo***ge of slavery of Sin and its ugly nature. Rule ourlives and stubborn hearts O God in your Mercy. that your nature of righteousness may be found in us. i ask that you grant Repentance to the one reading this message; in the Mighty Name Above All names, the name of Jesus Christ the saviour, Amen

THE PATTERN WE ARE GIVEN AS A PROTECTIVE LAYER TO EQUIP OURSELVES WITH THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD. MANY FAILED BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO GO ABOUT THIS SPIRITUAL WARFARE THEIR OWN WAY AND WISDOM, INSTEAD IN BEING ALIGNED WITH LORD GOD JEHOVAH ELOHIM,S WISDOM HOW TO MANEUVER. ADVANCING TOWARDS VICTORY ]

Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

2 Corinthians 10:4-6 ))))
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled

“The difference between one who has committed himself to Jesus Christ and one who has not" should be a radical, visible distinction. however? in order to achieve this significant, for that radical transformation to manifest, one need to become a SACRIFICE and continue on the narrow road daily, as a living sacrifice till death. it all flows out of this great reality found in this profound portion of scripture

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer i who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which i now live in the flesh i live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me
