IT IS WORKING FOR YOUR GOOD.

Rom.8.28 - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Can anything good come out of Nazareth? These were the words of Nathaniel. Guess what? the greatest man who ever and would ever live came out from Nazareth and we call him Jesus of Nazareth. John1:45-49.

Joseph was a lowlife, a slave and a prisoner in Egypt. Who could have thought that the young Hebrew slave would eventually turn out to be a prime minister. Gen50:20

Sarah, Elizabeth and Hannah were written of as barren, two of these women were old enough to be grannies, but all of these women gave birth to prophets who we still make reference to.

So as long as our faith in God and his power is intact, as long as we refuse to give up but hold on to his promises, whatever situation we may find ourselves will turn out for our good, and our Testimonies.

Praise God

GUARD YOUR HEART
Prov 4:23
Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life(CSB)

What is the heart? It is the centre of a man. It is where thought's, action and word's spring from. It is not the physical one that pumps blood.

To guard simply means to protect. So you see, your to protect your heart because you act and react according to what is in there.

How do you guard your heart? Well, it is by controlling what you see, what you hear, and what you think. Being exposed to wrong information for long can have an effect on your life as it gains entrance to your heart.

So Chose to think positive thoughts that is thought's that are in line with God's word, and your heart will be overflowing with the Word of God, which will cause you to walk in light.

1. In the Gospels, you are commanded against installing yourself as a teacher to anyone who believes. In Matthew 23, Jesus Christ declared that He alone is the Teacher/authority/counselor/Master over those who belong to Him. If you, who claim to believe Him , do not even know this, what are you "evangelizing"?

2. Jesus Christ is the New Covenant, the Law where the Kingdom of God is concerned. To abide in Him is to know His Truth (Law) , submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. See John 15. There are no "principles" where prayer is concerned as the key to receiving anything from God, who knows what you ask even before you ask it, is obedience and not prayer. For prayer , Jesus Christ instructs you to simply say the Lord's prayer -do you think Jesus Christ was stupid when He declsred that?
If you, a one who claims to be of Him, do not even know this at this point, what are you "evangelizing"?

3. You are called by Jesus Christ to put your trust in and obey His own teachings.... not the teachings of men even His disciples. Jesus Christ is the New Covenant agreement God promised to make between Himself and each one of us. He is the Law we are each called to live by as people of the Kingdom of God. If you refuse to learn and obey the Law but instead abide by and put your trust instead in the words and doctrines of men, do you expect God to reward your disobedience?
Again... if you who claim to believe do not even understand the place of the Word/ Truth of God, Jesus Christ's very teachings, the Law of God, in your life, how can you be expected to tell others of it?

you are taking one part and leaving the others. the same Jesus not Paul said; whatever you "desire" when you pray believe you receive them, and yea shall have them. you can obey from now till next year, if you don't apply these principles in prayers it won't work.

You talked about the Lord's prayer. Now when you are in the face of imminent danger you pray the Lords prayer right? Or in need you pray the Lords prayer. Am not going to talk much about this but Jesus said in John14:14 telling us to ask in his name, and he will do it. He said ask and receive that your joy will be full. He is giving us another kind of prayer which is a prayer of petition where we bring our need's to him.

You also talked about following Jesus teachings and no one else, not even the disciples but the Lord himself told the disciples to make disciples of all nations, teaching them. He even gave them power to remit sin. Math28:18-20. John20:23

Kobojunkie:
1. Contrary to popular doctrines, Hebrews 11 does not provide you with a definition for Faith but instead tells you about/describes faith... there is a very big difference between defining something and talking about/describing something.

In Hebrews 11, the writer attempts to describe the part faith plays in regards to answers to prayers. And in doing so,compares to it substance of that which we seek/ask/knock for implying that faith is tangible exchange , evidence that we truly yearn to received answers to that which we ask/seek/knock for.

2. The same Jesus Christ that said that in Mark, also said that those who abide in Him, and He will abide in, and that it is then that He will do for them all they ask that their joy maybe made full. Jesus Christ also said seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His His Righteousnes, and then all these things shall be added to you. Just as you don't take just the pieces of what your boss says to you, so also you should never just take that part of God's teaching that you like, ignoring the rest thinking you have His Truth.

When James said something like "you have not because you ask amiss..." , He did not mean that what you ask is against the Will of God, as is with the popular doctrine on this. No, James was instead speaking against the practice of picking only parts of Jesus Christ's teachings on a topic while ignoring the others.

The same Jesus Christ made it clear that the promises He brings are not for everyone, but instead for those who submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. Those are the ones who will recieve good(righteous) things from the Father , those who will recieve God's righteousness. And we know that these are people who submit and obey, their faith linked to their obedience of God. .
Even scripture tells you that without faith, it is impossible to please God, and from Genesis to Revelation, we know that God is only pleased by our obedience of His statutes, laws and rules.

3. Do you know that Jesus Christ healed a lot of our people who did not even believe in Him at all - in John 9, the man who was born blind did not even know who Jesus Christ was at the time of His healing, yet He was healed, proving that one did not need to "mentally assent", what you call "believe" in order to be healed and made whole.

Now, coming back to the women with the issue of blood, can you please point to definite statement in that story that links the woman's faith, the one spoken of by Jesus Christ, to the thought the woman had in her heart right before touching Jesus Christ? I am quite aware that, again, popular doctrine attempts to link the two but a careful examination of the passages about the woman point to that resulting from a leap and nothing else.

4. What exactly is a Spirit of faith and where in the teachings of Jesus Christ are told of such a spirit?

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are called the gospels. They are not written directly to Christians, but for Evangelistic purpose. You can't just take a scripture from the gospels and teach believers because the people at that setting were not born again, So there must be a correspondent in the Epistle's. John20:31

Now you talk about abiding in Christ which is the fundamental. You must abide in Christ. But you see, abiding in Christ without knowing the Principles of Christ in regards to answer prayer's, in mark 11:23&24, won't get the Job done. if it wasn't necessary, Jesus wouldn't have said it.

Even as you love following the teachings of Christ in just the gospels, also endeavour to not only take one part and refuse the other.

1. Faith is not expressed in words else the dumb are out of luck. Not a single place in the Bible are we told faith has to do with what you say with your mouth. Instead it is those who already have faith stored up that can the command mountains to move. If you have no faith previously, you can bark all you want, nothing will happen.

2. The saying/proverb that the power of life and death are on the tongue have a context to it that is popular ignored.by those who will use it to further whatever jargon teaching they wish. In this word, you can speak as even pray for death for as many times as you want, but death will not come on your own schedule, why? Because God has not put the literal power over death in anyone's tongue. I know this lesson very well.

3. What the woman in your story did with writing and speaking out what she wanted has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus Christ. According to Jesus Christ, your faith, not your claims, is what pleases God and according to the Bible, Faith is instead the cumulative works done in submission and obedience to the commands, rules give by God.

We know all too well that there are many out there who do not belong to Jesus Christ yet are able to heal, cast out demons and even prophesy - Jesus Christ warned us severally about those. We should not let ourselves be swayed by the signs and wonders they do that we bemd the truth of God in order to accommodate their lies, lies that have nothing to do with Jesus Christ, the Truth of God.

You see, you made some points up there.

Faith is not Obedience, though it takes faith to obey. Heb11:1, gives us a clear definition of faith; the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of thing's not seen. Obedience is obedience, faith is faith.

Secondly, Jesus taught the principles of faith. Mark 11: 23&24. He said we should believe we have received when we pray, and we shall have it physically. He even said we should speak to mountains, believing that what we say would come to pass, we shall have what we say.

Thirdly, Jesus recognized the faith of the woman with the issue of blood and announced to all that her faith made her whole. She so much believed touching Jesu's clothes would heal her, that she said it. I believe she said that to her self continuously over a period of time because her faith drained the anointing on Jesus at that time. Mark 5:25-34

Now these are not new teachings but are what is written in the word.
2Cor.4.13 - We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

DEPEND ON GOD'S WISDOM

Jas.3.17 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

One day, Abraham decided to path way with his Uncle Lot. He asked him to choose which ever way and he Abraham would go the other way.

Lot looked at the plain of Jordan, and boy was it beautiful? Yes it was. He chose to go that way, because of what he could see. He left with great wealth to Sodom and Gomorrah because it look's like the best place to be, but at the end he lost everything including his wife. He merely escaped with his two daughters. Gen 13,19.

Lot depended on his senses. The place was visually appealing and he felt moving there was the best decision ever. He didn't seek God's counsel so he made the wrong move.

It's of uttermost importance for us to seek God's wisdom and counsel in every decision we take, even when we feel like we are making the right choices. He is all knowing and he promises to lead, guide and direct us.Prov3:6, Jer 33:3.

SPEAK THE GOD WAY

Rom.4.17 - As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.


A lady went to Pastor younggi Cho's office one day, and began narrating how wayward her daughter was. Cho just looked at her and smiled, then he shared a spiritual principle from the scripture above.

He asked her to get a sheet of paper and write those good virtues she would love to see in her daughter's life. He then told her to say those thing's out loud every day, thanking God.

She did as she was told and read those things out loud. Her perspective of her daughter began to change. One night the daughter came home crying, asking for forgiveness and she got saved.

Speak the God way, say what you want to see as if you have it already. He said; I have made thee, main while the man(Abraham) was dead barren. Faith is expressed through word's 2Cor4:13,life and death are at the mercy of the tongue pro18:21

YOUR FAITH CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE

Mark.5.34 - And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

The late Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa of blessed memory, narrated a story of how a woman whose Child has no eye balls, continuously asked him to give her child one during a crusade.

On the last day of the crusade, he was intentionally avoiding eye contact With the woman because he didn't believe. But the woman was expectant and full of faith.

Just when the Arch Bishop was dodging out, he heard a scream, lo and behold God honoured the woman's faith and gave the Child eye balls.

Faith is a Noun and believe is a verb. your believe is your faith.

The Lord say's, all things are possible to him that believe. And he is still saying if you can believe. Mark 9:23

Believe God and don't stop believing for his promises for your life, family, health career to come true. Your believe / Faith will make you whole. Glory to God.

Glory to God.

Most of you here are using old testament terms and that's why some of you are confused.

In the old Testament, there were Prophets and seers. One can be a seer and not a prophet. A seer as the name implies, sees and hear things in the Spirit Supernaturally.

In the new testament, we have the ministry of the Prophet. Note also, that the prophet hears and sees into the spirit both in the old and new testament.

Now any believer can see and hear in the spirit because, the word say's your son's and daughter's shall prophesy and see visions.

So you don't pray to be a seer but pray for the gift of prophecy and vision in your life.

THE DOUBLE EDGED SWORD

Heb.4.12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

A double edged sword is a lethal weapon in biblical times, it can be used with thrusts and swipes in any direction with equal effectiveness. It cuts both way.

The word is a spiritual weapon that not only affects our Spirit man, but goes on to affect our mind and whole human anatomy.

When the word gains entrance into your life, it not only builds you up but it cuts whatever that's not inline with the will of God in your life, and it does what it says. That's why we should meditate on the word.

As a sword, it is a weapon for attack, an instrument for warfare. So declare the word even in the midst of adversity because, the word has the capacity to fulfill whatever purpose it is being sent. Hallelujah. Isa.55:11

Glory to God

LIVE THE LOVE LIFE

Eph.5.2 - And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us....

1 Cor13, highlights the characteristics of love. We are Children of love because we are born of God and God is love 1john 4:7&8.

The difference between Christianity and other religion is that it is founded and built on in love. John3 :16, 13:1.

He said Pray for your enemies and love them, live at peace with all men, pray for those who despitefully use and even persecute you. Matt5:44. And always be forgiving Matt18:22.

Is it possible to walk this love walk? Yes because it is our nature, and doing contrary is against that nature in Christ.Rom5:5.

Glory to God

THERE'S A WAY OF ESCAPE

1Cor.10.13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Whatever challenge we are going through in life is not unique, It is common. Others have gone through it, are going through it, and will gone through it.

Problems tends to gravitate towards their solution, that's why God say's you will be able to bear it. He say's you won't be tempted above your ability, so in you is his ability to navigate your way out of that ordeal.

And above all, he said he will make a way to escape. So we shouldn't see ourselves drowning in that situation but coming out of it victoriously, knowing fully well that God has given us the ability to overcome, and is making a way of escape.

EXPECT A MIRACLE TODAY

Exod.15.11 - Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?.

God always does wonders/ miracles. As a matter of fact, the above scripture was written after he parted the red sea.

He's till the same. Mal3:6, Heb13:8. Why does He do Miracles? It's because of you and I. He doesn't need it, we need it.Acts10:38.

A lot of Christian's has no problem believing God does miracles, but they doubt if God would do one in their lives. Jesus say's what I say to you, I say to all mark13:37. And he keep on saying; whosoever believes John11:40

So believe and expect a miracle today in all areas of your life because he cares for you. 1pet 5:7, Pro 28:18.

ITS TIME FOR FAVOUR

Ps.102.13 - Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

Favour is an act of Kindness. Sometimes, it is beyond what is due or usual. For example, Mary the earthly mother of our Lord was highly favoured Luke 1:28.

The end result of favour is blessing. Ps:12 this two works hand in hand.

God use's human vessels most time's to work out his favour in our lives. We all have experienced God's favour in our lives at various point but we can experience more.

It all Begin's with Mercy, Mercy attracts favour. And we get mercy by approaching the throne of grace. Heb 4:16.

DONT STOP DOING GOOD

Gal 6:9 Amplified Bible
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.

The story is said of a man who wanted to rescue a cat from a trap. Each time he tried, the cat attacked the man's hand with his claws.

The man was asked why he was still attempting to rescue the cat, and here was his reply; It is a Cat, it is his nature is to attack,While it is my nature to save him.

As children of God, we have the nature of our father God in us. And this nature is to do good Acts 10:38

You see, a lot of people will take your good works for granted. Some might abuse it. Some may not appreciate it. some might even pay you back with evil, but don't let that change who you are, you are not like them. At the end, according to our above scripture, your good works will pay off.
