Become Jesus Christ's Disciple

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....

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 ...

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. 

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  

Good day, Beloveds  Many people believe in Jesus but don't understand the connection to the Holy Spirit. In Acts 5:28, Peter and the apostles were told to stop teaching in the name of Jesus. The apostles were telling people about the resurrection of Jesus, but the high priest and the Jewish council wanted them to stop. In verse 32, we see how Peter and the apostles told them that they came to tell them about how they (the high priest and council) killed Jesus, but God resurrected him and gave him a place next to his throne. What do we learn from verse 32? 1. The apostles were not alone. The Holy Spirit was with them. 2. The apostles received the Holy Spirit after Jesus ascended to heaven. 3. The Holy Spirit is God's gift to people. 4. The Holy Spirit is only a gift to people who obey God. How does this relate to us? 1. Do you know if the Holy Spirit is with you? Before the Holy Spirit can be with us, we first need to receive him. 2. Have you received the Holy Spirit...

Good day, Beloveds  I hope that you feel blessed on this excellent morning. As we continue to transform into Jesus' character with the help of the Holy Spirit, we need to remain faithful and endure in all circumstances. Today, we look at John 8:12. Here, Jesus is talking to the people and not his disciples. When Jesus speaks to his disciples, he shares more details, and when it's the crowd that follows him, he just says enough but doesn't share too much.  Scripture Jesus says, "I am the light for the world."  He could have plainly said that he is the Messiah. Remember God's plan was that the people wouldn't recognise the Messiah. He is the light to the world, meaningful he didn't come for certain people but for all people. "Follow me" , Jesus is inviting the people to be his disciples. To follow him is to obey his commands, do the works that he did and more, and become like him in character (the fruit of the spirit). "And yo...
