TODAY’S DEVOTION (Sunday 1st November 2020)
“Jesus answered, If a person [really] loves Me, he will keep My word [obey My teaching]; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.” John 14:23 AMP
WELCOME TO THE 304TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF REJOICING
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD for keeping us alive and helping us to see a new month. Doubtlessly, the plan of the evil one against the human race this year, especially Africans was terrible.
I cannot forget what Bill Gates and his wife said about this blessed continent when the coronal virus broke out. They said there will be harvest of deaths in Africa, that people will be dying on the streets.
Those two spoke like gods, prophets, diviners or maybe star gazers. They had no message of hope for us. Maybe their wealth made them see us like monkeys to be killed by a virus. But it turned out NOT TO BE SO.
God indeed frustrates the counsel of the wicked. Yes, He has a way of not allowing them to perform their enterprise. I believe the monies they have been giving to Africa gave them the boldness to speak like gods against us. But the God of Heaven and earth will not even make such statements against anyone one earth.
Now, that what they said has been defeated and will continue to be defeated, the spiritual principle of reciprocity states that, “words do go back to those who sent them, especially when they are not fulfilled.” Be it words of blessings or curses. Therefore, if they do not repent, what they said will go back to them in one way or the other.
Not just them, I see all of the enemy of the Righteous One, who prophesied one thing or the other against us His kids, receiving back what they prophesied against us this year in the coming year.
I declare to you that what the wicked prophesied against you that God frustrated, will go back to them and consume them. It will never fall to the ground. Now that God has frustrated it, it will accomplish what they intended that it accomplish in your life in their own lives, in Jesus precious name. Amen!
THAT IS A LAW OF THE SPIRIT. IT IS ONE OF THE LAWS OF DIVINE SETTLEMENT.
We must always be careful of what we do or wish that it happens to others. Jesus said we should do to others what we wish that they do to us. That also implies that we should prophesy or say to others what we wish that Heaven do to us.
As I look at this law, I can see what will happen in 2021. Among other things that will happen, 2021 will be a year of Harvest for the wicked.
They will not just harvest what they planned against us this year that God never allowed to happened to us, they will harvest the evil seeds they have been sowing against mankind and God’s people; things that God has been ignoring in His forbearance.
God’s judgment on the globalist is coming.
The globalist has one agenda, and that agenda is to bring in the anti-Christ before his time. To bring him in before the rapture of the Church!
But if you read through history, from the days of Nimrod to our days, you will realize that no one who had tried to bring in the anti-Christ before his time ever had a good end. They had a season they prospered and a season everything they did was stopped by the God and Judge of the earth.
Let the sons of Issachar hear the word of the LORD our God, this is the season when everything the globalist did in our age will be stopped by the God and Judge of the earth. The move started in 2016 and will continue till the last mass evangelism that will usher in Jesus, as KING of kings and LORD of lords, spread through the hearts of those appointed to salvation.
GET READY FOR THE BEST OF GOD FOR OUR AGE AND TIME!
A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation. The zeal of the LORD shall accomplish that.
But as we get to the end of the year according to the Gregorian calendar, it’s important that we take a prophetic gaze at the beginning of things. Perhaps there are things we will learn that will help us prepare for the season, especially in the coming year.
To start with, I want us to understand that at creation, the flow of the Spirit of God in glory was the current mankind was plugged into to be able to live and function on earth. It was what enabled him to unleash his omnipotence on the face of the earth.
Until sin came in, he was Spirit filled and God controlled, that was why he functioned at the very best.
I use the phrase “Spirit filled and God controlled” for lack of better terms. The better phrase should have been “Mankind was God-filled!” Being God-filled implies that He was God’s dwelling place or abode on the face of the earth. In simple terms, God lived in him to the fullest.
Creation therefore revealed that Man was designed for God to live in. He was created to function as a dwelling place of God in the Spirit, right here on earth. Meaning, He was a TEMPLE OF GOD on earth.
In other words, God created man to live in man and rule the earth from Heaven, while living in man. That was the vision of the almighty for creating us. However, the fall changed everything, but it did not change the vision. The vision still stands to this day.
That is why when you look at the redemptive plan of GOD for mankind closely, you will discover the same thing happening to the redeemed. You will find the Spirit of the LORD seeking to take residence in us. He is doing that because that was the vision of GOD for us.
You find statements like, “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” “you are the temple of the LORD” and “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me” functioning as key apostolic statements in the lives believers from generation to generation.
YOU FIND PEOPLE GROWING IN THE LORD TO IDENTIFY WITH THEM.
That is why, in God’s view, if you say you are born again, you are simply saying you have become the temple of God again. You are indeed saying the original vision of GOD to live in man has been fulfilled in your life. You are saying you have embarked on a journey to have God permanently living in you like He did in Adam.
Sadly, many do not even know this, which is why you find this ultimate vision of God not being the driving forces of many preachers. Many of them do not even know why God even put them in ministry. They all think its to collect tithes and offering, hence exalting it above every other thing and getting angry and diabolic when you leave their churches.
So many preachers do not know that GOD put us in ministry to fulfill the vision of living in man through us. That is why we are rather passing people through what we call deliverance, making money out of their misfortune, and turning them religious but leaving them as unsaved as they had been and giving them false assurances of salvation.
You find all kinds of wickedness and even the spirit of the evil one himself living in so many of us who claim to be born again today, yet in our very sorry spiritual state we still profess to know GOD. Paul wrote to Titus saying, “They profess to know GOD but in works deny Him.”
But God is calling on us to wake up spiritually this morning, because hell has not lost its temperature.
In our devotional text today, Jesus made it clear that if we love Him, we will keep His commandments. If we keep His commandments, we will provoke more of His amazing love. When God’s amazing love is provoked, He will come to make our lives His special abode, or dwelling place on earth again. Hallelujah!!!
This goes against the pseudo grace gospel that preaches the opposite; a gospel that deletes repentance and keeping of God’s commands from Christianity.
The false grace gospel is not allowing the ultimate purpose of salvation to be fulfilled in many lives. You find people under it growing from acclaimed Children of God to actual sons of hell.
THE SPIRIT OF HELL NOW LIVES IN MANY OF US WHO CALL OURSELVES CHRISTIANS.
I have seen people who claim to be great men and women of God doing to others what even unbelievers will never do, especially when it comes to money matters. They lie like the devil and display so much deception. If you trust them, you will hurt yourself, most times irreparably. Yet they claim to love the LORD!
Jesus made it clear that the proof of genuine love for God is a life of total obedience to the will and ways of the LORD.
Meaning, if we say we love God but our lives are full of rebellion to His written word, revealed will or ways, we are deceiving ourselves. We have rejected His love for our lives and will never be able become a dwelling place of Him in the Spirit on the face of the earth like Adam was.
This morning, God is calling your attention to the things that truly matter in the faith. That is why November will be for us our month of Prophetic Apostolic Training Schools (PATS) 2020.
As you prepare to go to your Church or join us in our CHURCH IN THE HOUSE through the morning cloud Television today, remember that God never designed Church service to be a religious show. God designed it to be a means of having the vision of living in us fulfilled your life.
Spending one moment in a Church that is not building you to become a temple of God in the Spirit is an eternal waste. This is the time to get out of such local Churches if you truly love your soul. Our job is to warn and keep warning until Jesus comes.
There is what is called the ultimate Prophetic and apostolic emphasis in the Christian faith; and that emphasis is “Christ in you the Hope of glory.” It is not a statement to claimed or proclaim but a reality to become. Sadly, many who claim or proclaim it have the spirit of wickedness in them presenting itself as Christ.
True Christianity is driven by the original vision of God for mankind. And until that is fulfilled in your life God’s redemptive plan for you is not yet fulfilled.
Any Church experience therefore, that is not making you a dwelling place of God in the Spirit, is an experience that is shortchanging you. Go back and seek God again, else you will be damned in the Day of Judgment. That is the message of today’s devotion!
If you are looking for what to make the vision of God for your life in 2021, you have just found it; BECOMING A FUNCTIONAL TEMPLE OF GOD IN THE SPIRIT. That is it!
PRAYER
“May the Lord help us to hear what the Spirit is saying today to the church, and to the individuals in the churches!”
“May this month be an exceptional month for you in all aspects of life in Jesus precious name.”
Amen AND AMEN!
MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE DAY!
“For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush.
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
“But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? Luke 6:43-46
