TODAY’S DEVOTION (MONDAY 8TH APRIL 2024)
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Psalm 92:13-15 KJV
WELCOME TO THE 99TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF IMPACT.
This is the day the LORD has made, I believe with the whole of my heart that you will rejoice and be glad in it. Hallelujah!
God has been gracious to us, and we are grateful. He has been our LORD and keeper, yes, in all fronts. We have been seen His marvelous helps and gracious deeds.
One more time His mercies has given us another day to be alive and fear Him. May you not miss the blessing of today in Jesus’ precious name. May the greatness of His compassion work in your life as never before. Amen!!
When Jesus ascended into Heaven, He left His Church the mandate to Baptize or immerse people, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. This is beyond water baptism. It is a mandate to baptize people in the presence, will, nature, Spirit, or word of the triune GOD.
That is the solution He gave to all our problems.
Meaning our lives will never pick positively if that mandate is not fulfilled in our lives. The devil will be having us for a whatever He wants, if that mandate is not fulfilled in our lives.
Except the mandate is fulfilled, the enemy will be stopping our businesses successfully, our finances terribly, our progress successfully, and etc. He will make the earth hot for us.
Child of God, understand that we will never fulfill our spiritual potentials in Christ until the mandate is fulfilled in our lives. Above all, Heaven will never be our home when we die if the mandate is not fulfilled.
The dominion, glory of God, kingdom power, freedom from a life of sin and moral decay, and spiritual restoration that breaks out in our lives when we are baptized or immersed in the name (nature, will, ways, Spirit, Grace, and etc.) of the Father, is one major blessing of the great commission.
IT REMOVES THE CURSE OF THE FALL FROM US.
If you look at the lives of many today, you will realize that many are struggling under the curse of the fall of man. That curse is what is responsible for all problems we go through as humans.
It is responsible for that life of sin you cannot stop. That addiction to pornography, drugs, alcohol, sex, and etc. It is responsible for that disease that has refused to go away, that spiritual attack that is making life unbearable for you, and etc.
The curse is responsible for bad governments, bad leaders and all that is plaguing our nations. It is responsible for that marital problem that has defiled all solutions; that woman or man who cannot get or stay married.
The curse is responsible for the death, and destruction any family struggles with.
It is responsible for strive, anarchy, bitterness, anguish, sorrows of life, toiling, and etc. It is responsible for poverty, grinding economic slavery, the stealing of people’s right and all that make the lives of men and women hard.
The one that sits on creation is responsible for famines, earthquakes, tsunamis, pestilence, like the corona virus, and other natural disasters that are plaguing the earth.
Yes, there is a part of this curse sitting on the human race, and there is a part on creation.
The one sitting on creation will be broken at the New Heaven and the new earth where righteousness dwells. But the one that sits on each human is only broken when the person is immersed or baptized into the name, nature, word, will, ways, and glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
This Baptism has been reduced to water baptism by many evangelistic mantles, but water Baptism was not what the LORD meant. That was why He Himself did not baptize anyone in water.
He healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, raised the dead, and did so much, but Baptized none in water.
THAT WAS A MESSAGE TO US, BUT ONLY FEW ARE PICKING IT.
The Bible says;
“Now when the Lord knew (learned, became aware) that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John— Though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples—” John 4:1-2 AMPC
Someone once called me and said I am not of God, because I am not Baptizing people in water. Then, if we are to go by the person’s ignorance, it means Jesus also was not of God because He never Baptized even one soul.
The fellow had called from outside Kenya, and requested that I Baptize him in water, and I said it is not done that way. That in God’s kingdom you do not baptize who you did not personally labor in word and doctrine to form Christ in them. Then he broke out in furry and started saying all kinds of nonsense to me.
You see, if water Baptism was what the LORD meant, when He presented Baptism as the key to our freedom from the curse, He would have spent His time Baptizing as many as possible. But the Baptism He meant was a deeper Baptism.
Water Baptism is only a sign to the world that one has experienced that Baptism Jesus was referring to.
I reiterate again that there is a Baptism that God ordained to destroy the curse of the fall on the human race, reverse all that we are going through, and place the blessing that makes rich and add no sorrow on our lives. Water baptism is not that baptism.
Water Baptism is only a sign to the world that you have left them and that you have embraced the Baptism in the name, nature, will, glory and ways of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; through death to sin, burial of the sinful nature, and resurrection into a life of righteousness, breaking the curse.
Meaning, after water baptism, you are not expected to live a life of sin. After water Baptism, you should not be under the curse of the fall because through your water baptism ritual, you have said you have experienced the Baptism that breaks the curse.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN THAT LIGHT, YOU WOULD REALIZED THAT MANY WHO HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED IN WATER DID IT IN IGNORANCE.
They did it without being taught these truths, hence not even knowing the implication and responsibility they placed upon their lives by going to be Baptized in water.
Christ did not baptize any Himself because He knew these things, and now reveals them to us by His Holy Spirit, so that we do water Baptism with a restraint.
He also knew that no one could experience the Baptism that breaks the curse until after the cross.
John the Baptist Baptized people in water because God wanted to use that to announce Christ as the messiah to that generation through it. And He did that on the day Christ was Baptized, bringing the ministry of John to a close. That was why Jesus called it, “the Baptism of John.”
What the Disciples were doing was the Baptism of John.
It was different from that of Christ which we do today. It was People like Apostle Paul that did the Baptism of Christ; which is a sign to the world that you have experienced the Baptism that breaks the curse.
In God’s plan, the Church ought to be the place where the baptism or immersion that break the curse take place. That is why the Bible says;
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” Psalm 92:13-15 KJV
If you want the curse of the fall to be totally broken from your life, and your life to flourish, find a church that operates as the pillar and ground of truth, that is where the Baptism that breaks the curse takes place.
You can now understand why Satan has raised fake churches, among others. You can now understand why we have so many dark power centers operating as churches. You can understand why we have so many money-making machines as Churches today.
You can understand why we have very few places where the great Commission can be executed in people’s lives to break the curse.
The vision of the kingdom of darkness remains to prevent people from finding where the curse can be broken off their lives. It remains to keep them in false churches, giving them what they want but never what they truly need. But God’s plan remains intact.
He will keep leading the lost and dying to the few Churches where the curse of the fall can be broken and people established in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
May you and your family not be found in any dark church in Jesus’ precious name. Amen!!
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION TODAY!
“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 KJV
