Understand Jesus' death | Is Good Friday still good?

Image
What is Good Friday, and why do those who claim to honor Christ observe it? Matthew 27:35 NLT [35] After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. ​For forty years, I was one of those people. Now, I see that I was under the strong hypnosis of a pretentious movement called Christianity. Despite being confident for years in my " good status " as a human, I finally understood how defiled and unrighteous I truly was. I realized this so-called holy day, which occurs once a year, had nothing to do with the other 364 days of my life. ​Did I live as though I were carrying my cross, just as Jesus did? Did I surrender my will to the Father when it was hard? Did I truly deny myself? The honest answer is no. And if you are honest with yourself, your answer would be no, too. For many, Good Friday is simply another day to justify a false life. ​Year in and year out, the preaching is the same: " He died and rose on the third d...

Understand Jeremiah 18:5-6 (EASY)

Image
Jeremiah 18:5-6 (EASY) [5] Then the Lord told me his message. [6] He said, ‘I tell you this. I can do to you, nation of Israel, the same thing that this potter does with his clay. I hold you in my hands, as the potter holds the clay in his hands.' Tonight, I am lying in bed trying to get some work done. I started feeling overwhelmed and anxious . I searched my thoughts, but no particular reason points to these negative emotions. Then I remembered my dream: I was back in high school . Those dreams are the worst! I always remember that I completed Grade 12, but I just can't wrap my head around why I am back there—and this time, I’m failing my subjects. ​I have heard people refer to this as a "spirit of backwardness," but personally, I think this is how our Heavenly Father says I am not learning what I should be learning in this season. I was well aware of what He was talking about, but this "new thing" I am learning is quite daunti...

Understand 1 Corinthians 15:51-57

Good day, Beloveds  I often think about the next chapter that awaits me when I am done serving the Lord in the earth. The Holy Spirit has led me to read different versions of the Bible and with each one I get a deeper, clearer meaning of the word of God. I would be like,"where did this come from?" Most of the questions we have the answers are hidden in the Bible and the more we seek God's kingdom and his righteousness the more everything is brought to light.  I enjoyed reading 1 Corinthians 15 verses 51 to 57. It invoked excitement in me about dying, something most believers fear. I hope that after listening to this scripture you will feel just as excited as I am. When we are true Christ followers we need to take pleasure in dying because a greater reward awaits us. That doesn't mean that we should be in a hurry to die. We need to use our days in the earth to advance the Kingdom of God and spread the good news. Do enjoy this teaching   For more from me tune in to my p...

Understand Mark 11:22-25

Image
Good day, Beloveds  Today, I went through this scripture with someone, and then again, I went through it with a different person. The first time, I got a new revelation, and the second time, an even deeper revelation. This shoke me because it shows that with every reading, the Holy Spirit wants to reveal more to us.  After reading this, I will do an introspection and ask God to search my heart and reveal what I lack according to this scripture. Even though it can be a lot to take in. I always appreciate a moment of humility to see that I am nothing without Jesus and the Holy Spirit interceding for me and teaching me. I hope it does the same for you.    Let understand the scripture:   • Jesus said: The son of God and the true word of God is sharing this with us. Jesus shares only what our Father told him to share. • To the disciples: Jesus was not just talking to any person but those who were following him, his students who were learning to be like him....

How can you know God's will for you

Image
Good day, Beloveds  Many of us don't fully understand the above scripture. It's not a suggestion but an instruction. When we follow Jesus, we can not remain the same as we used to be. We are supposed to transform, but that can only happen when we submit and surrender to the Holy Spirit. Only the Holy Spirit knows the true character of Jesus Christ, and only he can make us like him. Understand the scripture 1. Don't copy : This is an instruction. We are no longer supposed to copy anything or anyone, but Jesus. 2. Behaviour : we can't behave like people of this world. We need to behave like Jesus did while in this world. 3. Customs : Definition - In a culture, a custom is a traditional practice or behaviour that is widely accepted and passed down through generations, reflecting a community's values, beliefs, and identity . Many of us still believe that what is of this world still matters. We believe that what has been passed down through generation and ...

Understand Matthew 15:1-9

Image
Good day Beloveds  We can sometimes get more caught up in the ways of men and forget that what is more important is God's way. In the below scripture Jesus shows us how traditions, customs and culture can affect our faith and obedience to God. Jesus wash born a Jew but he didn't share the good news about Judaism but about the kingdom of God. Remember that one is permanent and the other is temporary. Let's not mix the ways of men with the ways of God because the day of judgement is only based on the ways of God and not of mankind.  For more from me tune in to my podcast:  Set Apart For God  I bless you in Jesus name.

Understand Romans 14

Good day Beloveds  We seem to spend time debating about things that make no difference to the kingdom of God. This prevents us from truly understanding what God expects from us. We spend more time trying to correct or perfect what is spiritual more than what is eternal. On the below scripture Paul speaks against the debate between the Gentiles and the Jews regarding Sabbath and eating clean or unclean animals. In the law [ Leviticus]God told the Israelites [Jews] what to eat and what not to eat, but later God told Apostle Peter that he has made what is unclean, clean. Gentiles were not subjected to these laws. Instead of focusing on what mattered the most as followers of Jesus the people focused on things that only affected their time on earth and not in eternity.  Watch the teaching now     Read online   For more from me tune in to my podcast:  Set Apart For God  I bless you in Jesus name.
