The Importance of Walking in Divine Love - 2
(Your Prayer Life Depends On It.)

"Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity" (Isaiah 58:9).

Another very important reason you should walk in love is because your prayer life depends on it. We have dealt a little bit about it yesterday when we dealt with how love walk affect your faith life. There is a relationship between faith and prayer. However, even though every prayer has an element of faith in it but not every act of faith requires prayers.

So, it's imperative we separately address how love walk affects our prayer life. We all desire answers to our prayers but most of the time, there are seeming delays in receiving answers to them. Sometimes, the answers does not show up at all.

One factor that could be responsible is how you respond to the need of the poor and needy brethren around you. Even the Saints of old under the Law of Moses were rebuked for neglecting the poor in their midst. And God made it clear through Prophet Isaiah that it's one of the reasons their prayers were unattended to.

Isaiah said that they sought God daily in the place of prayer and even backed it up with fasting. He also noted that there was strife in their midst - Isaiah 58:2-4. In the opening verse of Isaiah 58, God said he wants to show them their sins. He began to remind them things they ought to do that they were not doing.

Thus, Isaiah wrote; "Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh." (Isaiah 58:7).

God wants us to reach out to the poor and needy. Life is not all about you and your family. You are a custodian of the wealth God has given you. Be sensitive to the need of those around you and be quick to respond to them if it's within your power. Don't turn blind eye to the cry of the hungry and homeless. It's one of the reasons most prayers are unattended to. Hence, the scripture says; "Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard."(Proverbs 21:13).

For those who willingly reach out to need, Isaiah wrote; "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity. "(Isaiah 58:8-9).

The choice is yours. Close your ears to the cry of the poor, the Lord will also close his ears to your cry or prayer. Reach out to the poor and needy around you, answers to your prayers will overtake your requests.

Prayer: Glorious and Everlasting Father, I give you glory and honour due to your name. I thank you for reminding me of the need to be sensitive to the needs of those around me especially the needy brethren. Have mercy on me in manners and ways I have failed in the past to respond to their needs. I am resolved to be a blessing to others with the much you have blessed me. Thank you for always causing me to have more than enough so I can be a blessing to the needy in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: Isaiah 58:10-11, Acts 9:36-40; 1st John 3:22.

Will you guarantee their safety?

If they get killed, will you take responsibility?

Kobojunkie:
1. There is no Hell-- a place of torment --- for those of the Old Law of Moses which the parable clearly explains as the contextual Law for that parable - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20.

Must you defend a lie at all cost even when there are overwhelming evidences that affirms you are lying?

1. The scripture talks about the pains of hell. Are there pains in the grave.

2. The scripture talks about the sorrows of hell. Is there sorrow in the grave.

3. Each time Jesus mentioned people going into hell, he uses the phrase 'cast into hell'. Do you cast or throw people into grave.

4. Jesus said that there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Do dead bodies weep and gnash their teeth in the grave?

5. Jesus used the term, cast into furnace of fire. Does the grave burn with fire.

I could go on and on.

Must you put your soul in danger of that terrible place because you want to defend the lies of Rutherford and Russell?

FRANCISTOWN:
Please keep the points coming. Bring it on!
Lies can only travel for so long until you see the truth catching up with it.

Many people will be let loose from the shackles of religion.

Especially this Abrahamic religion that has eaten deep into our civilisation like cancer.

Their "gods of men" will be so helpless as they see their sheeples being freed and their imaginary "sky daddy" won't be able to do shit about it.

I may not be alive when that happens, but I can envision it already. When the name "God" will lose popularity. When atheism will no longer be called atheism but a natural way of living life.

When people will begin to take their lives into their hands instead of letting their religious leaders decide for them.

Though I'd be long gone by then but if this forum would still be available, the generations to come will marvel at out level of wisdom

Which points? I am just too busy to attend to them now. They do not change the truth of God's word. God's word is eternally true.

Kobojunkie:
1. A parable is a story that is told in such as why as to misdirect the uninformed --- using details that come close to reality--- from figuring the message that is clearly presented in the story. The parables are part reason why Jesus Christ said the secrets of the Kingdom are hidden from those who lack understanding and only revealed to those who infact use the understanding they already have as instructed by Jesus Christ- Matthew 13 vs 10 - 12 & Mark 4 vs 22 - 28 & Matthew 25 vs 29

You did not answer my question.

If hell as a place of torment is not real, why would Jesus use it in parable?

How could him imagine such a thing if it's not real? Did Jesus lose his mind?

Are there not many other references that points to the same thing?

The Importance of Walking in Divine Love - 1.
(Your Faith Life Depends On It.).

"For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." (Galatians 5:6).

Love is a very broad subject but in this study, we will narrow our discussion to the divine love of God. This kind of love is known as agape in the Greek language. It's an unconditional love that God himself demonstrated to us by giving his only Son, Jesus who died for us. Just as it is written; "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:. Put in another way, Christianity is a revelation of God's love.

We receive the ability to walk in this new kind of love the very moment we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. And God expects us to walk in love. There are several reasons why love walk is very important to us believers. This will be the focus of our study in this month's devotional study.

Thrice in the New Testament, the Bible says that the just shall live by faith - Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11 & Hebrews 10:38. The scripture went further to say that; "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6).

As important as faith is in our Christian walk, it won't work without love. SO, YOUR FAITH LIFE DEPENDS ON LOVE. This is one of the reasons so many Christians make confession of faith but nothing seems to be happening. So, if you have been laying claim on certain promises of God and nothing seems to be happening, check your love walk.

When our Lord Jesus was teaching the principle of prayer of faith, he said; "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24). He immediately linked this principle to walking in love when he said; "And WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses." (Mark 11:25-26).

Forgiveness is one of the attributes of love. If you don't forgive, it will make your faith inoperative. It's also for this same reason Peter wrote; "Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; THAT YOUR PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED." (1st Peter 3:7).

In other words, treat your wife well if you don't want your prayers which you say in faith to be hindered. It takes true love to treat your wife well. Men who beat their wives are mistreating them and such act will paralyze your faith which is needed to secure answers to your prayers or to bring your confessions of faith to pass.

So, if you want your faith to produce results, ensure you walk in love towards all especially the brethren. Don't speak evil of them. Avoid strife and envy. Thus, the scripture says; "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:31-32).

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for the opportunity to witness a new month. I commit my goals this month into your mighty hands. Order my footsteps to the right places and the right people. Preserve my going out and my coming in. I also pray that the love you have deposited in my spirit will guide my thoughts, words and actions as I step out in faith this blessed day in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Further Study: Matthew 5:23-24, Isaiah 58:3-11.

WiszyFraud:
Lool

You gave your life to the white guy (actor) on that cross or to the imaginary Jesus Christ, the son of the imaginary God?

It amazes me that people like you prefer to walk in darkness when the true light of life has come. You don’t know the doom that awaits you for neglecting your salvation.

Kobojunkie:
1. First, the story is a parable and not meant to be literally interpreted. Second, the answer to why the rich man character in the story would end up in the Old Law Hell is found in Ezekiel 18 vs 1 - 32 & Ezekiel 33 vs 10 - 20. Third, in consonance with scripture, Hell for those of Old condemned to die is perishing in the grave --- they cease to exist when they die - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 & Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22.

2. What evidence do you have that proves to you that you are in fact born-again in keeping with the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ? Do you have the evidence that Jesus Christ proclaimed all who are born-again will have in John 3 vs 1 - 21, or are you of the mind that the process is whole of mental assent?

You think Jesus just imagined a place of torment that does not exist?

Do you make parables with events that are not real? If yes, mention any other parable with events that can't happen in practice.

Do you mention actual names in parables? If yes, give me another parable where specific names were mentioned.

Is the idea of hell as a place of torment supported by any other passage in the scripture? The answer is yes and there are so many scriptures that backs the fact that lost souls end up in a place of torment.

annyplenty:
Let us rub minds together.

The scripture did not explicity say why the rich man in Luke 16:19-31 go to hell.

Can you infer from the scripture why he ended in hell.

He did not have mercy on poor Lazarus. Rather, he humiliated him in his poverty stricken condition.

Is Tinubu also a member or their patron? They should tell us the truth so we know the direction of our prayers.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 30 (The Mark of the Beast, Great Tribulation Period and the Second Coming of Christ).

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads" (Revelation 13:15-16).

Yesterday, we unveiled the anti Christ and the false Christ. His empire which is a confederation of ten European countries will be the new super power on earth. The second beast who is the false Christ will set up an image of the this anti Christ after three and a half years reign of the beast. This image will be empowered to talk and everyone on earth will be forced to worship this image.

According to Daniel, this image will actually be set up in the temple of God. This is what our Lord Jesus referred to as the abomination that causes desolation in the twenty fourth chapter of the book of Matthew - Matthew 24:15. It is the setting up of this image that will open the eyes of the Jews to know that this second beast is a false Christ. And the anti Christ and the false Christ will unleash great persecutions on Israel as a nation.

Hence Jesus said; "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." (Matthew 24:21-22).

The false Christ will cause people to receive a mark on their foreheads or on their right hands or the number 666 without which you cannot buy or sell. The Jews at this point will be persecuted to death. After the persecution, the 144,000 that were earlier sealed will be raptured. They are the elect Jesus talked about in Matthew 24:31.

At the end of the tribulation period, there will be Seven Vail Judgment on the Kingdom of the anti Christ and the worshippers - Revelation 16. After this, Jesus will come back with some saints from heaven and make war with the beasts. He will defeat them and cast them into the Lake of Fire. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years and Jesus will establish his millennium reign on earth. And the faithful Saints shall reign with him on earth.

Prayer: Eternal Father, I magnify and exalt your holy name. Thank you for the unveiling of your grace that has brought salvation to mankind. May your kingdom be established on earth according to your divine plan and purpose in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 29 (The Revelation of the Anti Christ and the False Christ).

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.(Revelation 13:1).

The opening text is a revelation of the anti Christ that will rule from a confederation of ten European countries. This is represented by the ten crowns upon his ten horns. The seven heads is later revealed to be seven mountains on which the woman (city) sits - Revelation 17:9. The only city that sits on seven mountain is Rome. Rome will be the headquarter of the new kingdom. Hence, the kingdom of this anti Christ is also referred to as the revived Roman Empire by Bible scholars. This kingdom is represented by the ten toes in the image of the dream of Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 2. It will be the last kingdom of darkness on earth.

John continued his narration saying; "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months."(Revelation 13:4-5).

This revived Roman Empire will be the new super power nation on earth. America and Russia will be submissive to this new super power. Verse 5 above said that he is permitted to continue for forty two months which translates into three and a half years.
The total number of years the anti Christ will rule is seven years. Isreal will experience peace for the first three and a half years of the reign of the anti Christ because of the peace treaty they entered into with the anti Christ as revealed by Daniel - Daniel 9:27.

The second prominent figure that will play a significant role is the false Christ which is revealed as the second beast in the thirteenth chapter of the book of Revelation - Revelation 13:11. He is also known as the false prophet. He will be accepted by the Jews as their long awaited Messiah. He is pictured as having two horns which represents Judah and Isreal. And he spoke like a lamb which signifies the false role he will play as the Messiah. Jesus is the true lamb of God but this beast will also pretend to be the lamb of God.

The scripture says; "And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,"(Revelation 13:12-13).

John continued saying; "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."(Revelation 13:14-15).

This false Christ or second beast will play a significant role in interrupting the peace treaty entered into. And what he will do after the first three and a half of years will take away the blindness that has been covering the eyes of the Jews. And when this blindness is taken away, they will realize that they have been deceived and Jesus who they had earlier rejected is truly the Messiah. But it will be a period of great trouble for the Jews. And all the predictions Jesus made in Matthew 24 will be fulfilled. This will be the focus of our discussion tomorrow.

Prayer: Dear God and Father of my Lord Jesus, I bow my knees and worship you in the beauty of holiness. I thank you for working out things in accordance to your predestined plan for us all. I pray that your purpose for the salvation of the remnants of the children of Israel will be accomplished in due time in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

One Ghana cedi is 10,000 Ghana cedis.

In 2007 Ghana removed four Zeros turning 10,000 Ghana cedis into 1 cedi so that they can be able to balance accounts because people are being paid in Millions and Billions and buying foodstuffs in millions and Billions just like what is happening in Zimbabwe right now.

The Re-denomination also caused the high inflation rate they are experiencing today.

For example, if Nigeria removes three zeros from Naira, 10,000 naira will become 10naira, 500 will become 50 kobos, and 1 million will become 1,000 and that won't change anything in the economy, but reduce the high denominations in your account and hands.

So in reality, Naira is higher than Cedis.

You don't use their old exchange rate since it has changed.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 28 (The Prophetic Ministry of the Two Witnesses).

"And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." (Revelation 11:3-4).

We said yesterday that before the blast of the seventh trumpet, God will empower two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days. According to the scripture; "And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." (Revelation 11:5).

So, their prophetic ministry is unstoppable for the period of time assigned to them to carry out their ministry. In addition the Bible says; "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." (Revelation 12:6).

Who are the likely characters that are assigned this prophetic ministry? The first likely character is Elijah. According to the scripture; "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." (Malachi 4:5). No wonder verse 6 said that they have the power to shut heaven, so it will not rain in the days of their prophecy. This was one of the the notable miracles Elijah performed before he was taken by the Lord.

The second character is likely going to be Moses because he was the only Prophet who turned water into blood and smote Egypt with all manners of plague. However, the setback in this is that the prophets both were killed after they ended their prophecy. And it is appointed unto man to die once.

The question then is, did Moses really died? He was told to come up to the mountain and die but the Jews never saw his dead body. So, it's possible he really did not die but God chose to keep it as a secret. Otherwise, he would have permitted them to give him a befitting burial. And if the Jews found out that Moses did not die, they probably would have made him an object of worship.

We should also remember that it was Moses and Elijah that appeared to Jesus during the transfiguration of Jesus. These two Prophets thus have a unique role to play in the latter days. Their prophetic ministry resumes God's plan for the Jews. And they are the prophets assigned to preach the gospel as a witness unto all nations before the end comes - Matthew 24:14.

After they ended their prophetic ministry, they were killed by the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit. They refused to bury them and rather displayed their dead body on the street of Jerusalem (which is spiritually referred to as Sodom and Gomorrah) for three and a half days. But on the third day, the spirit of life from God entered them and they stood on their feet after which they were caught up to heaven.

There was a great earthquake and a tenth part of the city (Jerusalem) fell, seven thousand people died and the remnant gave glory to God. Soon after this, the scripture said, "...seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 11:15). But the salvation plan of God is not complete until the Jews are reconciled back to God. And this will happen after their dramatic relationship with the AntiChrist which is about to be revealed. This will be the focus of our study tomorrow.

Prayer: Lord God Almighty, you are worthy to be praised and adored. Besides you, there is no other God. Heaven and earth adore you and angels bow before you. I thank you for counting me worthy to be a fellow citizen with the saints and joint heirs with Christ. I pray that you preserve my spirit, soul and body blameless unto the coming of my Lord Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 28 (The Prophetic Ministry of the Two Witnesses).

"And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth." (Revelation 11:3-4).

We said yesterday that before the blast of the seventh trumpet, God will empower two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days. According to the scripture; "And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." (Revelation 11:5).

So, their prophetic ministry is unstoppable for the period of time assigned to them to carry out their ministry. In addition the Bible says; "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." (Revelation 12:6).

Who are the likely characters that are assigned this prophetic ministry? The first likely character is Elijah. According to the scripture; "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." (Malachi 4:5). No wonder verse 6 said that they have the power to shut heaven, so it will not rain in the days of their prophecy. This was one of the the notable miracles Elijah performed before he was taken by the Lord.

The second character is likely going to be Moses because he was the only Prophet who turned water into blood and smote Egypt with all manners of plague. However, the setback in this is that the prophets both were killed after they ended their prophecy. And it is appointed unto man to die once.

The question then is, did Moses really died? He was told to come up to the mountain and die but the Jews never saw his dead body. So, it's possible he really did not die but God chose to keep it as a secret. Otherwise, he would have permitted them to give him a befitting burial. And if the Jews found out that Moses did not die, they probably would have made him an object of worship.

We should also remember that it was Moses and Elijah that appeared to Jesus during the transfiguration of Jesus. These two Prophets thus have a unique role to play in the latter days. Their prophetic ministry resumes God's plan for the Jews. And they are the prophets assigned to preach the gospel as a witness unto all nations before the end comes - Matthew 24:14.

After they ended their prophetic ministry, they were killed by the beast that ascends from the bottomless pit. They refused to bury them and rather displayed their dead body on the street of Jerusalem (which is spiritually referred to as Sodom and Gomorrah) for three and a half days. But on the third day, the spirit of life from God entered them and they stood on their feet after which they were caught up to heaven.

There was a great earthquake and a tenth part of the city (Jerusalem) fell, seven thousand people died and the remnant gave glory to God. Soon after this, the scripture said, "...seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 11:15). But the salvation plan of God is not complete until the Jews are reconciled back to God. And this will happen after their dramatic relationship with the AntiChrist which is about to be revealed. This will be the focus of our study tomorrow.

Prayer: Lord God Almighty, you are worthy to be praised and adored. Besides you, there is no other God. Heaven and earth adore you and angels bow before you. I thank you for counting me worthy to be a fellow citizen with the saints and joint heirs with Christ. I pray that you preserve my spirit, soul and body blameless unto the coming of my Lord Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
