Month: September 2024 (Page 2 of 2)

The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time which for me is a time of discovery and revelation of things I don’t know and ways to achieve and accomplish the plans of God for my life and live out a vibrant and productive fruitful life in Jesus.John.16:13.

I love and cherish this communion time with the Holy Spirit more than anything else in life because it is life and more abundant life for me. Just a single word from the Holy Spirit is able to change the most difficult situation in a second and make all things new.

The word from the Holy Spirit makes the impossible a reality as you stand and watch in awe as He makes it real right before your eyes. Thank you so much Holy Spirit for your faithful help and assistance to us that makes us fruitful and life giving on earth.

I will continue the dialogue I had with the Holy Spirit about Him bringing us to birth and then not being able to complete the process. I will show you why we should never entertain that thought in our minds and allow such poison to affect our relationship with the Lord.

This is because as I mentioned the Lord wanted you to share in this conversation so you could have a clear perspective of how He thinks and processes things. This results in us being able to follow Him more clearly without any confusion.

When the Lord spoke to Moses He said to him make sure you build according to the pattern that was shown you on the Mountain. Meaning that on the mountain what Moses saw was not ambiguous and riddle driven that Moses could not comprehend it. It was clear what God wanted.

God wants us to know exactly what He requires of us and He will even send the message again just so that we do not make a mistake in our interpretation of it. An example is the instruction He gave for Samson’s life. Judges.13:8-14.

The whole purpose of the Holy Spirit is to guide us into all truth which means nothing of the truth should be left out. John.16:13. The Holy Spirit wants us in a place where no lies are able to affect and harm us but where the whole truth is available to us so we can be free to serve the Lord fully.

The Holy Spirit wants us to know the events of the future so we can walk in the know and not in the dark about anything. The Lord pointed out in Amos.3:7 that before He does anything He first reveals it to His friends the Prophets and says before it springs up I reveal it so you know what to expect and can prepare correctly.

I remember times where the Lord showed me events about the Government of Sierra Leone on an everyday basis and all He said happened exactly as He revealed. He did the same thing with me about Botswana, the USA, Nigeria and even China. This involved changes in policy and administration in those nations that the Holy Spirit pointed out would change.

The Holy Spirit knows the events of the future and reveals them to us so we are not caught by surprise or off guard and destroyed in the process by the enemy.

There is no surveillance system comparable to the Holy Spirit who knows everything, but also has everything on hand to destroy, remove, change and replace whatever is necessary to bring it back in line with His purpose and plan so that Jesus is glorified. 2 Kings.7:1-20.

As it says the Lord raised Pharaoh with such power so that He could show how much greater He God was when He defeated him so that men would know just how great the Lord is by seeing what He could accomplish against a mighty foe.

“Know this truth and never forget it. The Holy Spirit is here to give us the advantage of knowing events of the future ahead of time so we are not swept away in the foolishness of men and can make changes to be free in the midst of the worst possible situations in life.”John.16:7.

I have heard men of God say that we will always have a judas to deal with in ministry and the Holy Spirit said to me true. However, judas did not destroy Jesus’ ministry because Jesus knew by the Holy Spirit he was a betrayer from the beginning. For that reason Jesus was not surprised at what he did ,but even said to him that which you do, do quickly as he went to betray him.John.13:27 & 28.

Jesus was not diminished after having committed so much to him that enabled him to reduce Jesus’s ministry to nothing, then say we all will deal with a judas when the ministry is gone.

The Holy Spirit had revealed every event to Jesus ahead of time and He was not taken by surprise and therefore not hurt in any situation. Jesus went into every situation completely in the know by revelation of the Holy Spirit and was never caught out in the dark right up to the moment He was arrested.

Jesus was so prepared He said to the disciples, my betrayer is at hand let us get up for this next phase I will suffer.

We need to above all things have such a union with the Holy Spirit that nothing takes us off course because the Holy Spirit has already shown us future events and we are only walking out what has been prepared by the Lord for us to accomplish.

The Apostle Paul walked in this light in Acts.28 when He said I perceive this voyage will be a disaster with loss of the ship, the cargo and lives so we should not go on it. The future event was revealed to Paul and it happened exactly as He saw except that because of him the lives of the people were all saved.

Look at the revelation of the famine Agabus saw in the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts which went on to happen, but because of foreknowledge revealed by Agabus through the Holy Spirit the disciples were provided for before time and did not die of hunger and starvation caused by the famine.

I told my unsaved family at the time that I saw in a vision all of us in our home in Freetown Sierra Leone. At the time three of us were in the UK , My elder brother in Botswana and my Dad in Freetown with no plan to be there. But in less than a month of that vision we were all in that home in Freetown as the Holy Spirit revealed and I remember their expression when they related that I had said it less than a month before by revelation of the Holy Spirit.

I pray today that as you hear these truths about the Holy Spirit revealing future events to you grace will be supplied to you to pursue communion with the Holy Spirit so that you will be in the know about future events in your life and be prepared to experience the mighty hand of the Lord to save, deliver you and keep you from all evil.

The Holy Spirit if you are willing will show you your daily events and what you will be doing in the events. He will give you a picture of what miracles He will involve you in so you can share in the might of God’s hand and be a partaker in the good works God prepared beforehand that you might walk in them to glorify His Holy Name.

May that reality of foreknowledge of future events be your portion in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in our time this morning wanted me to share with you the truth that makes for your life and Godliness. In John.16:13 we read these words. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

I need to over emphasize this reality to you because this reality about the Holy Spirit is what positions us to be victorious and triumphant in every situation in life. The person of the Holy Spirit is the Revealer of truth in every issue in life. This is because He is the essence of truth itself. “The Holy Spirit is absolute truth.”

He is the Spirit of truth therefore it is vital that we allow Him to guide us into all the truth. There are no lies with the Holy Spirit so when we are deceived about anything in life it is never the fault of the Holy Spirit but a spirit of error that we have believed or accepted which will bring death. We need to repent of accepting those lies and change course to get back to working in truth with the Holy Spirit .

There is no issue in life that the Holy Spirit will teach you or guide you into that will bring death. The Holy Spirit only brings truth which produces life in every situation and makes a way for forward movement in your life and circumstances. We can know the scripture that deals with every situation in our lives but the Holy Spirit as the truth Revealer makes that scripture real and manifests its reality for us to experience.

When I started out in ministry, I was dealing with a lady who got saved and was having problems with her husband and she needed counsel because she wanted a divorce as her husband was doing things that got her involved with witchcraft.

At that time I was an all scripture minister. I advised her to stay with the man because in my reading Jesus spoke about no divorce in scripture because what God put together no one should put asunder. Well I was wrong in my advice and the Holy Spirit showed me my mistake later because that cost her relationship with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit went on to share the complete truth about that situation with me and it was amazing and liberating. He said I never put them together in the first place so that union was not of His making. Therefore divorce would have freed her to serve the Lord and not succumb to witchcraft.

The fact that they were married was a decision they made when they met and because they came to church and had a minister officiate it did not make it a God union. She was not to submit to witchcraft to remain in union with a man who hurt and ruined her life.

I unfortunately not understanding the true context of scripture should not have advised her to stay in that situation of death. There was no peace in that situation and Jesus calls us to be at peace. I also went on to lose a faithful daughter in the Lord thinking I had saved a marriage. I should have sought the counsel of the Holy Spirit on what she should do in this situation.

We need to be able to ask the advice of the Holy Spirit on any matter and get His perspective before acting prematurely which I have learnt to do. It truly saves life if we inquire of the Holy Spirit before giving an answer.

I repented and learnt a salient lesson about the difference between the letter of truth we know from scripture and the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and guides us in which always produces life.

The Holy Spirit always guides us into all truth as the law/letter kills but the Spirit gives life. The law is not a person and is unable to relate to individual circumstances because it does not feel the person or appreciate the emotions, intents and purposes of the heart in the individual situation to give the best possible judgment based on all the mitigating facts surrounding it.

The law only imposes flat judgment and ensuing punishment for non compliance. The Holy Spirit is a Person and judges righteously on the basis of full revealed truth not just facts.

I found that satan always defeated me on truth I did not know by revelation of the Holy Spirit so I developed a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit and His guidance into truth which then brought forth fruit and much life and no losses.

This is why I am so passionate about walking and working with the Holy Spirit because that gives you the edge in life because truth is guiding you on what to do and what not to do. This ensures you always come out trumps because you followed the Spirit of truth.

I choose to believe what the Holy Spirit reveals about anybody more than anything they say or do or even preach because the Holy Spirit will always reveal the truth on the matter. He always keeps us up to date with the truth.John.13:36-38.

I pray today that as you hear these truths the grace contained in them will become reality in your life and experience and you will walk in the truth the Holy Spirit makes available to you and commit to always seeking Him for the Truth in all matters that pertain to your life and Godliness.

Let the Spirit of truth be your guide into all truth and stop yielding to your own understanding because it is killing you. Start living again by the truth the Holy Spirit supplies you for life. May the Lord help you to make this transition so your life can take shape again in truth for the glory of the Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit said to ask you why would you trust the word of a human expert and do as he requests and follow his instructions to the letter because he has studied a subject and claims he knows it, but ask questions of the Holy Spirit who possess all wisdom and truth rather than just obey His voice?

Well the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what makes you determine who you trust, rely and depend upon concerning your life and what counsel you will let determine your future. Jesus taught us to consider certain factors in life that are constant and from them determine the stand we will take concerning who we trust.

In Luke.12:24 it reads Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Jesus here wants us to take note, consider carefully the principle at work with God and ravens that should help us with our trust of God. The ravens do not have the privilege of being able to sow and reap so they cannot ensure their food production.

They are also limited in that they are unable to build storehouses or barns to store the extra produce from a bumper harvest which they can use when times are difficult. However God still feeds them though they lack the ability to plan ahead and secure a way of providing daily food for themselves.

Jesus then asks the question which we all need to answer of how much more value is the human to God than a raven. The angels ask what is man that You Lord are mindful of him and the son of man that you visit him and crown him with glory and honor.

How do you value yourself because that will determine how much you will be able to receive from the Lord versus reliance on what man will do for you. Jesus gave up His position in glory to come and die for our sins and become our atonement so that we could again reign in life.

Jesus did not do that for any raven though, but because He created them and gave them life He ensured they would be provided for.

I have personally watched people come out daily at fixed times to put food for the ravens as a duty knowing that those same people will not do that for a fellow human and watched this principle of Jesus at work and learnt from it.

Now, certainly what is of value God will provide for and because God needs man on earth to do His will and execute His plan He will certainly ensure that he is adequately provided for and looked after comfortably. Jesus always taught His disciples not to worry about their provision of food because that would interfere with their trust in Him as their supply.

Jesus never wanted them having that conflict in heart because it would keep them double-minded and unstable in heart and they would be unable to receive any benefits from Him in that dilemma.

Jesus demands complete and absolute trust from us in His ability to do what He has said. My covenant will I not break nor alter the word that comes out of My mouth. Psalm.89:34.

Now look at what Jesus after asking us to consider this matter says should be our conclusion Verses 29-32 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. 32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

This is the place we need to be walking with God in complete trust in His ability to do what He said. No anxiety at all concerning provision and no worry either but trust and dependence on His ability and nature to provide for those He chose. These are the things the people in the world spend all their time seeking after and working for and the Lord who created you knows that on earth you need them.

Pursue the Kingdom Jesus insists with all your heart and everything you need will be supplied to you and in fact it pleases God to give you the full supply from the Kingdom which has everything you could possibly ever need.

Let these truths you have just read through take charge over your hearts and repent for allowing doubt to push you from truth to a lie that God doesn’t care about your provision and that you have to do that as your priority.

Let the grace of the Holy Spirit empower you to see as Jesus wants you to and recover yourself from the stupor and consider correctly from the perspective of Jesus what your priority is and go after the Kingdom with all your heart.

Then go ahead and experience everything that has already been apportioned to you by the Lord and let the Holy Spirit guide you into all truth and free you from the lie so you can walk in the place the Lord ordained for you of victory and triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

I have found the Precious Holy Spirit as the Perfect Guide into all truth. This morning In our time together He reminded me of the reality of the facts about the faithfulness and loyalty of Jesus we depend on. His utmost care for us and how we must rest on His promises which are faithful. 1 Peter.5:7.

The Holy Spirit will bring about what He promised concerning our lives. So as you step into today let these truths have the control over all you do and say. So His grace can propel you to experience all the Lord determined for you have to glorify His name.

The Holy Spirit then went on to lead me to share with you as I asked Him what encouragement and word He wanted me to deliver to you His people for your victory this day. How to help you to walk in line with His ordained path for you as to being positioned right for the manifestation of every good and perfect gift He has available for you to walk in. James.1:17.

In Hebrews.6:10 which reads these wonderful words: For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can He forget the beautiful work you have done for Him? He remembers the love you demonstrate as you continually serve His beloved ones for the glory of His name.

Firstly you must remember that the God you serve is faithful, not unjust or unfair. He remembers everything you have done for His name’s sake and will not let your labour of love go in vain. He takes record of all the good you have done and stores it up through His Angels for the day He brings out the manuscript He wants you to be a part of that shows what you mean to Him by releasing a reward in and through your life. Acts.10:4-8

In Malachi.3:16-18 Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.17 “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts,

“On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

You will notice in my posts I always mention the word remember because it is very big with God. He always remembers to do good as that is His nature not to forget what He has promised and fulfill it, for He is not a man who cops out when under pressure. The Lord under the severest pressure will still fulfill and deliver as He said with His mouth, so His hand will fulfill. Psalm.89:33 & 34.

“You can rest your heart and soul on that fact.”

The Lord remembers the love you expressed towards His people and will reward you for that just as He promised Abraham: I will bless those who bless you. Anybody who does you good and expresses love towards you God will return in kindness to them for expressing love to you.

So be ready to receive love expressed back to you from the Lord through people in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over for the love you have shown them for the Lord’s name sake. Go ahead and receive that reality at this moment and share the testimony of the Lord’s faithfulness.

As the Lord does this on your behalf it brings glory to His name and removes the disgrace and shame which you have suffered doing good and loving to free people for His name’s sake and endorses you with the stamp of His approval for your life and reminds all that you are blessed and highly favoured of the Most High. Isaiah.25:8.

Now this is what the Holy Spirit wants you to remember, focus on and reflect on today. This means you receive and walk in, then see the landscape of your life transformed into this reality which magnifies your Father in heaven and shows without a shadow of doubt that Jesus whom you serve is Lord through signs, wonders and miracles.

Now go forth today in this grace and reflect on the reality of your Father’s nature in all things pertaining to your life and godliness in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants me to share some things in the life of Jesus which are not obvious but are pertinent to our spiritual enrichment and edification. If you study who and what Jesus did which I would encourage each of you to do because a disciple needs to know what His teacher does in order for him to be able to copy and imitate Him correctly and appropriately as a perfectly trained Protege.

In Matthew.8:5-13 we read the story of the Centurion who approaches Jesus for a healing and we find that the response of Jesus to this man is startling because Jesus uses this event to teach His disciples some lessons in faith and relationship with God which are priceless.

Let us dive into some of the lessons that Jesus allowed this Centurion who spoke to impact the lives of His disciples. Now let me preface this by pointing out that Jesus was very particular about what His disciples listened to and always checked out Himself what doctrines or thoughts and ideas His disciples allowed into their lives.

It was Jesus who taught them to take heed to what they hear and how they hear it and confronted the Pharisees about what they were telling his disciples.

This was because Jesus knew what listening to false things could do to affect the trust in the heart of a believer and wanted to protect them from deception in any and every form. So if Jesus is willing to let what a stranger says, speak to His disciples be a priority to hear then we need to pay very close attention. This is because that word must be so priceless and worth much for our use in the Kingdom operation on earth.

Firstly in Matthew.8:8 & 9 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

The Centurion reveals in his statement that he understands the structure of a kingdom and knows that when orders are given by the highest authority in this case Jesus they are obeyed without question. The word of the King is final and not to be questioned as to whether I should or should not obey it.

What the King wants happens once He has spoken it and non compliance to it is not an option. It is settled no matter what you think or feel or believe. Once spoken it is a command that must be fulfilled. This man is convinced that any word Jesus speaks over his servant will bring healing to him instantly.

This is because the centurion had heard story after story of how Jesus had healed various people of all types of sickness and disease and therefore since He could heal various diseases He was an authority on it as it did not matter how long or how the sickness was caused Jesus had the answer.

Jesus’ response in verse 10-12 says it all. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

Ask yourself: Have you ever done anything in your response to Jesus on a question that has caused Him to marvel and then go on to commend you? So listen carefully to these words because they got the attention of Jesus and what He goes on to say shows just how important this truth is in the operation of the Kingdom.

We know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word truth. So when Jesus says to this man who is not privy to the covenant promises of God shared in the Jewish community. The place from which you could hear about the Kingdom.

Then points out emphatically that this Centurion has more faith and understanding of the Kingdom than any person who is hearing the truth daily or weekly in the church.

Jesus was fully aware that in this place all the record of truth is available to be studied and understood and accepted without question. Jesus is amazed at the level of understanding this man possessed. You can be sure his faith was authentic otherwise Jesus would have called him out on it.

Those elders always questioned the validity of Jesus and where He came from though every word in their torah pointed to Him as Messiah. However they did not accept His word which the centurion had just done.

They did not accept the fact that the word of the King was final. Therefore for that reason though the Presence of the Lord was present to heal them they received nothing because they rejected His word which is the truth.

This next part that Jesus goes on to speak is what each of us who are Kingdom people need to make sure we never fall into that category of those who hear what the King says but have our own opinions on His ways and methods. This of course because we feel we know better and are more discerning.

The reality however is that we find ourselves missing out on the Kingdom ways because we no longer submit to the authority of the king Jesus but our reading of what we believe the King is saying.

Thus we miss out on what is happening and find ourselves experiencing darkness and falling under the sway of the devil, living in defeat and blaming our failure on Jesus rather than our drifting away from truth.

I have seen this situation happen often in the Kingdom when new believers come in and accept Jesus Words as final commands to obey and experience the Kingdom in their daily lives.

While seasoned believers seek to hurt and harm them because they are jealous of their swift progress and resent that it makes them look powerless and insignificant. That happened with the Apostle Paul.

They then become the accusers of the brethren working to divide and subdue the Kingdom advancement because they are no longer subject to the words of the King Jesus as final.

The Holy Spirit wanted me to share these facts with you because you are facing this situation at present and are wondering why this is happening.

It is happening and will continue to happen unless we start to respond as the Holy Spirit dictates and make sure we are only obeying the dictates of King Jesus. By only speaking what thus saith the Lord and having the commensurate results of obedience to His words.

As Jesus said to the centurion in response in verse 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. Look at those words of instruction not I send healing to him but as you have believed is possible with my name and authority it is done for you.

What you believed and spoke has happened for you because you believe in the Authority Jesus has over sickness and know that authority cannot fail or be stopped no matter what. This is the same advice Mary gave to the Servants at the wedding in Canaan: whatever He tells you to do just do. No questions. John.2

Our continuous use of the process of speaking what Jesus has said and obeying His voice will mean we remain in connection with Him and that will enable us to remain constant in our operations of the Kingdom that means we have success.

We must be conscious of living according to the way the Kingdom operates which is by faith and seek to increase our faith not weaken in faith. Our pursuit is to walk in greater faith and in the faith that Jesus Himself walked in where nothing was impossible to Him.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will reign over you and captivate your hearts to comply and become as bold as the Centurion was. Then go on to experience and see the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit reactivated in your life and walk with God.

So that King Jesus can be glorified through your demonstration of His Kingdom through signs, wonders and various miracles for men to see and get to want and know who this Jesus is so they can serve Him just as you do in Jesus name.

Lay hold of these truths and recover your life back to the place where you speak what Jesus says and it comes to pass for you as it did for the Centurion in Jesus name. Amen.
