LEAD US NOT INTO TEMP

...And lead us not into temptations but deliver us from the evil one...Matt 6:13

One of the most powerful prayers yet given less prominence probably dominated by "our needs" prayers. But Jesus knew so he taught the perfect way of
prayer.

The process of temptation is in most cases is as follows:
1.A simple evil thought.
2. A strong imagination, or impression made on
the imagination, by the thing to which we are tempted.
3.Delight in viewing it.
4. Consent of the will to perform it.
*Thus lust is conceived, sin is
finished, and death brought forth.

Matt 4:1- A man
may be tempted without
entering into the temptation:
entering into it implies giving way,closing in with, and embracing it.
Avoiding sin should b one of the primary concerns of a christian life

Psalms 19:13 acknowledges the fact that we cnt live a blameless life without GOD! He has to be in our lives fr us to b innocent of great transgression.

As we enter 2014 I pray that our walk with God may be enlightened within His word _hiding His words in our hearts that we may not sin against Him.
Shalom!

He Is Risen

It Fits The Experience Of Those Who
Trust Him
– The apostle Paul wrote, “If
the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from
the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ from the dead will also give life
to you mortal bodies through His Spirit
who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). 

This
was the experience of Paul, whose
heart was dramatically changed by the
resurrected Christ. It is also the
experience of people all over the world
who have “died” to their old ways so
that Christ can live His life through
them. 


This spiritual power is not
evident in those who try to add belief
in Christ to their old life. It is seen only
in those who are willing to “die” to
their old life to make room for the rule
of Christ.

It is apparent only in those
who respond to the overwhelming
evidence for Christ's resurrection by
acknowledging His lordship in their
heart.

TIME FOR SHOWBIZ IS OVER!

In the bid to look "good and swagged up" in our music videos we loose it.
Yes we loose it.I don't mean to offend anyone but with the continued need for dancers with funny moves,makeup making men look beautiful than handsome,scripts that don't portray God's given message,Trends copied from the world being forced into church.... somewhere along the line our music videos don't portray anything Gospel in them.If we could mute the audio and just watch  the pictures it will be difficult to differentiate between a Gospel music video and a secular music video.

By this I mean we take too much time to showcase how good, swagged and current we are instead of allowing the message sink & minister.When people watch our music they never get the message but in most cases end up admiring the artist,his/her sense of style at the expense of the God given message in the song!

Listen!Listen! Listen!
GOD is not interested in how swagged and current you are.It has never & will NEVER move Him.He says some of these things we do displease Him.God says He's looking for that genuine minister that He wants to raise, that one person that will purpose to pass His message without distortion, He says TIME IS OVER for showbiz!
When the Almighty God spoke to my heart at 4pm on Thursday  I heard & felt GOD lay this in my heart so heavily _I couldn't help but weap & repent.I can still feel this burden upon me.

Listen all ye Gospel artists!
TIME IS OVER FOR SHOWBIZ!!!
Are you among them He's looking for? He spoke to me so clearly about thiz & to my surprise He confirmed the same at the event another event @embassy cinema in Nairobi Kenya.

Lets repent and go back to true undiluted praise and worship to God.In this year He gave you time to change but you haven't Now a new crop of true ministers are being raised to displace those who have continually abused His Grace & favor!

The Lord says!

TIME IS OVER FOR SHOWBIZ!  

Shalom!

How Jesus Wants Us To Pray



Prayer is an important tool in the life of everyone.In as much as even non believers have never had an encounter with God for their lives to be transformed,most of them believe in God hence the power of prayer

Instant/direct communication between man and God is done through prayers.Jesus himself usually took time off to pray something his disciples didn't do as often as he did,but with time,they learnt the secret and power within prayers...more reason why they approached Jesus for help.Lets have a clear look at how He taught them:

"Pray, then, in this way..." - Matthew 6:9a NAS


Jesus' disciples asked Him how to pray, because they saw that He often got away to pray. There's no real mystery to praying; after all, you're just talking to your Heavenly Father - your best Friend. But Jesus knew His disciples needed help, as we often do, so here is a summary of what Jesus said to do:

  • Address God as Father. Through Jesus, we can know God personally as our Father - the embodiment of the ideal dad.
  • Praise. Praise His name and character traits. It makes our problems seem small when we remember how great God is
  • Pray for His will to be done. This begins with us, but carries over to praying for others.
  • Pray for daily needs. God wants to meet our needs, but don't confuse needs and wants.
  • Confess your sins. Ask God's forgiveness and ask God's help in forgiving others who have wronged you.
  • Ask for protection and strength in the face of temptation and evil.



Jesus taught the basics on prayer. Whatever else you need to talk with Him about, go ahead and tell Him. Find a quiet spot and give it a try. And, remember, your prayer life gets better with practice.I pray that your prayer life will not just be dry but it will yield fruits and response from God almighty! The prayer of a righteous person!

MONEY FOR MIRACLES?

 

The society today has welcomed deception and "some pastors" have taken to this to their advantage deceiving the church and defiling the priesthood of this nation.Listen precious people..God's miracles are free.Nobody should tell you to pay/tithe/plant a seed to receive any miracle. Jesus the son of God himself never charged a cent to heal anybody and neither did God charge to send his son to save humankind. First of all to them that received Him He gave them POWER{you have the power to speak to ur situation} to be called SONS of God.You want real miracles, seek Jesus Not Man.We are desperate for quick miracles some which are sought from men and later haunt us in life because we are not rooted to the WORD OF GOD.



Why are we allowing the devil to take over?

We perish for lack of knowledge yet we have an assurance of the same knowledge free of charge{Hosea 4:6}

{James 1:5}
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.


(Isaiah 55:1-2)
“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen,listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.....
 
Today we have so many false teachers,a true indication of the days we are living in{end times}
Mat 24:3-5,10-11 (NIV) ..."Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name,.. At that time many will turn away from the faith... and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

WATCH OUT,FAST AND PRAY,LET YE BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT,HE WILL TEACH YOU.
SHALOM!

POWER IN PRAISE.

There are times when God doesn't necessarily need you to raise your problems and concerns to Him but He needs you to praise and worship Him in TRUTH to get your breakthrough.Looking at King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:1-37,Through praise and worship to God they had victory!

It would have come as a surprise to them but they obeyed the voice of the LORD and understood the battle wasn't theirs "Vs 15b This is what the LORD says to you: `Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's"
The bible goes ahead to note that: Vs 22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The men of Ammon and Moab rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them.

The part i love most is that even after they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, THEY HELPED TO DESTROY/KILL ONE ANOTHER.
God confused them and they ended up finishing themselves.
The problem is we at times make our issues a priority in our prayers,God needs us to be sensitive to His spirit and listen to Him.We have made our problems too much in that a simple prayer of Thanksgiving ends up as a long unending request on how much money we need or perhaps what we need from God,or even how we want our enemies or business rivals to fail.



If only today you realize that your praise to God can be a solution to your problem then seek His face with praise..Get this: After they killed themselves the bible notes that with them there was great plunder,equipments,clothing and articles of value that it took Jehoshaphat's people 3 days to bring to their land.

Listen child of God.Sometimes the enemy attacking you carries with them that which ideally belongs to you.The secret is how genuine is your praise and worship to God that it can rob the devil your blessings for you to retain them?
I pray that may God help us all realize how much he desires from us..Not just in our prayer requests but in our genuine worship to Him.
Shalom.
