SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH?

“The truth that makes men free is, for the most part, the truth which men prefer not to hear.”

                               -Herbert Agar

Simply put, truth is something  that has been verified by facts.

Most people, especially Scholars and Theologians have studied the subject of truth for centuries. Your spoken words and your decisions are meaningless without  truthful back-up from the Word of God.

It is written in the book of John 8:31-32, Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

The truth will only set you free if you know the truth. It is only speaking of knowing the word of God. God’s Word is the Truth and nothing but the whole truth. 

Most people prefer not to hear the truth for the simple reason that “truth” is often hard to take, especially if it affects us personally. 

Ignorance is bliss. It is a wall between you and the truth. Learning the truth exposes the world to you. You’ll be well informed and free to act.

Maybe you’ll learn from this story told by a Pastor friend.
I had a friend in our Bible school who had a back injury that was several years old. 

In bible school we were studying only the bible. The covenant knowledge and redemption truths were being discussed daily, including healing in the sacrifice of Jesus for our physical bodies.

Part way through the year, she suddenly realized her back was never sore anymore! The truth she had been immersed in had made her free. She received and enjoyed in reality what the scriptures said was available. The truth she was reading daily became her truth in her body and the word set her free from her physical pain.

I have since seen that repeated with different conditions over the years. As people soaked in the word for themselves, over time they recovered from normally incurable conditions.

Believe it or not, knowing the  truth is the only thing that can set you free. No one can buy truth no matter how wealthy or prominent they may be.

The only way to discover the truth is to search for it in the Scripture. We cannot simply discard God’s Word because we disagree with it, that will be calling God a liar.

Are you willing to believe God and learn His Words?
Why not pursue truth in the Word of God with all you’ve got? That is all, that is what you must do to earn freedom. There is no other way. Truth is victorious; giving up on truth is disastrous.

Proclaim The Word of God

The Good News of Jesus Christ is not proclaimed by the dead but by the living.

Resistance to hearing the Word of God is the worst calamity that can befall Man, Woman, Teens, and Children.

Conviction, reproof, rebuke and admonition of our ways result as preaching of God’s word happens.

The accumulation of sins committed in our lives, weigh us down incessantly. Besides captivity of our souls, spiritual forces of evil abound. Above all these, devils manipulation affect our lives purpose negatively. Something that can make us go into lukewarmness and lose the way to everlasting life with God.

The gospel is liberty for captives. It is opening of prison doors. It sets sinner’s free from the clutches of Satan and the power of sin. It heals. The book of Isaiah 61:1 tells us what the gospel is:
“The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”  What good news!

God can use anyone to proclaim His gospel as a testimony to all Nations. He can either use you or me.

Never loose God

Earthly inheritance, success and wealth without a Spiritually balanced personality is worthless.

To be a loser in your Spiritual journey is agony. Real agony.

Spiritual death is the aftermath of sin, disobedience,and ignorance. Seperation from God result as man’s spiritual darkness occur and beside sloth, pride and indifference abound.

Are you lost? Jesus came to save you. An encounter with Jesus would liberate you from your physical and spiritual blindness providing an opportunities for spiritual growth which will be your direct stepping stone to a new life in Christ.
Consider the blind men in Matthew 9:27 who were living in darkness but when they embraced Jesus, great light shone on them.

A lot of of people out there yearn for spiritual growth but aren’t ready for a closer relationship with God. Majority of Churches now preach worldly sermons instead of teaching their congregation how to strengthen their relationship with God.

We should not allow earthly things to distract us from our goal which is heaven. This is why dissociatiating yourself from today’s predominant worship of worldly things becomes absolutely necessary for you to genuinely become more like Jesus Christ.

If a parent would walk a thousand steps to recover a lost Child,how much more God who would do so seven thousand times seven.

The Messiah can liberate you from the darkness of your deficiencies and restore you to wholeness (Isaiah 29:17-24). You only need to embrace the virtues of meekness and humility ( Isaiah 29:19) as well as Faith in Jesus (Matthew 9:28).

PERCEIVE THE TRUTH THAT SETS FREE

God is as true as His gospel.
What you perceive is what you believe based on what you hear, see and think.

As Christians, we must purposely choose life generating thoughts by channeling our minds positively to the law of the Lord.The Word of God teaches us what we should spend our time thinking about in Psalm 1:1-3,the psalmist said that he thought about the precepts of God.That means that he spent a lot of time pondering and thinking on the ways of God,His teaching, and His instructions.

The perceptual process begins with receiving God’s Word in our Hearts and ends with our interpretation and understanding of what we have read through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Frequently, we think about things that keep our minds busy but are not productive in a positive way, such as meditating on what people say rather than on what God says in the Holy Bible.

Perception allows us to act on what we have learnt through the help of the Holy Spirit.Many of us act before thinking.But we were advised in the book of Proverbs to be thoughtful in every situation.

Your thoughts today will determine what you are.What you are today is what you have been thinking for the last ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years.If you want to be a success and prosperous in all your dealings the Bible says you must meditate on the Word of God day and night.

How do we attend to God’s Word? We attend to God’s word by meditating on it,by pondering on it, by contemplating it,by rehearsing or practicing it in our thinking and by going the extra mile to speak them aloud as our confession.

You need to line up your thinking with God and His Word.Think about things that are important to God and make it a regular part of your thought life if you want to experience freedom.Let the power of the Holy spirit working through the Word of God bring victory into your life. God bless you as you receive these liberating messages. 🙏Amen. Thank you.

The Poor Need Your Help

All over the world, more than 1.3 billion live in extreme poverty and according to UNICEF, 22,000 Children die each day due to poverty. There is a wide social gap between the rich and the poor.

Many Parents are struggling with hardship, and cannot make enough money to pay for the rent, Medicine, Children’s needs and food.

There are many homeless poor who live under bridges and street corners because of the high cost of housing. Many helpless sick cannot afford proper Medical care, others cannot afford clothes to wear and many young people join rebel groups in half a dozen countries out of frustration of unemployment.

As a result of hardship some collect waste food from the streets, many people are drawn into prostitution, armed robbery, kidnapping, some even sell their kidney or children’s kidneys which they feel is better than selling their bodies or living on charity in other to meet up.

The poor are being used negatively, maltreated and intimidated. Stolen fund meant for the poor are being used by prominent men in the society, the rich are acquitted for a bribe and deprive the poor of their rights, unemployment is on the rise and in some cases ,before you are employed they will give you condition that is against your spirituality. But because you have no option, you would submit to their condition. Shall we submit so that sin may abound? God forbid. Isaiah 55 tells us that we should resist anything that is against our faith.

Government may have failed you, but God remains faithful and has plans for you( Jeremiah 29:11). God is crying because of the deplorable, hopeless, miserable and wretched conditions of the poor masses.

In Psalm 12:5( KJV ), it is written, “Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan, I will now rise up,” says the Lord; “I will place them in the safety for which they long.”

Also in Luke 4:18-19(KJV), the Bible says,” The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lords favour.”

God does not joke with the poor. Are you living in poverty? God loves you very much and His plan is for your welfare. Cry no more and abide continually in God. It is God that lifts up the poor. In 1 Peter 5:10b the Bible says that after you have suffered for a little while, the Lord will establish you and secure you. He will secure you and your family in Jesus Name.

Prayer can change every condition. Pray on with Psalm 34 and you will see where it is written that this poor man called and the Lord answered. He will surely answer you.

I implore you to listen to the cry of the poor in your communities and the world at large. The poor are crying for help. Always come to their aid when you are in a position to do so.

Apply the “Golden rule” in your relationship with everyone; both the poor and the rich. Our Earthly mission is to bring good news to the poor, rather than make their llives miserable.

God bless you as you receive these life liberating messages. Amen and thank you.

How I experienced the Shekinah Glory!
By Julie Carol

Shekinah Glory is the dwelling of the divine presence of God the holy spirit.

In the year 2016, as I was sleeping, in the Spirit I saw myself worshipping God with a Gospel band. They were playing rythmns of music I had never heard in all my life with different unique musical instruments. We were dancing, singing praises,and there was a lot of joy and after a while, I saw a pillar of clouds so magnificent to behold coming down from the sky. When I saw it, I fell on my face together with others in the field. I couldn’t raise my face because of fear and awe, immediately I started praising God. I kept on praising Him till I woke up.

After this encounter my outlook on life changed totally. From then onwards, I came to realise how powerful the God we worship and serve really is and that we are not worshipping and reverencing him enough. We often imagine God to be our class, but far from it our God is a consuming fire( Hebrews 12:29). Fire is a symbol of God and refers to the holiness and absolute righteousness of God’s nature.

In the book of Revelation 1:12-15, 19: 11-16, God is described thus:

1. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow

2. His eyes were like a flame of fire

3. His feet were like burnished bronze refined in a furnace

4. His voice was like a roar of many waters

5. On his head are many Diadems

6. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood

7. The name by which he is called is the Word of God

8. The armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses

9. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron

10. He has a name written that no one knows but himself

Worship and reverence God with all your being,heart, soul and might.Sing songs of praise and worship. The Bible tells us that God occupies the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3)

Make the Word of God your life standard and allow God’s Holy Spirit to liberate you into a full-blown Practical Christian. 🙏God Bless You as you read these life liberating messages. Amen and thank you.

I AM FREE BECAUSE I KNOW THE TRUTH!

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”( John 8:32)

What is the Truth?

In John 14:6( NIV) , Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.

Jesus is not only the way and the life but also the truth.

God = The Truth=The Word of God
Knowing the truth means knowing The Word of God

Do you Know The Word of God?

Only the knowledge of The Word of God will lead you to the truth which would liberate you.

How will you know God?

John 2:3
“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments”.

1 John 2:4
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

What is God’s Commandments?

Romans 13:9

For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Love is the first and great commandment of God.When you love your neighbour as yourself you shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet. All these sins spring up from lack of love for one another.

How am I set free through keeping God’s commandments?

Deuteronomy 28:13

The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to observe them carefully

Deuteronomy 30:16

in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.

To set free implies a usually permanent removal from whatever binds, confines, entangles, or oppresses us. You are free because you know the truth and keep His Commandments, I am free because I know the truth and keep His Commandments.The truth we know is The Word of God and He is Holy. Keep it for it is the Way, the truth, and the life. God bless you as you receive these liberating messages. Amen
