COME TO ME AND REST




He took me to a place, and I could see a man. An elderly man and he were in chains and some heavy metals were upon him. Then I saw a man of God appear and begun talking to this man in chains. He said,” Just believe in Jesus Christ and this chains will be removed.” The man upon believing, I saw those heavy chains being unchained easily and the burden was gone and he was free again.  “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
What hinders man’s intimacy with God is the sin of unbelief; doubt. God  so loved the world so much that He gave His one and only begotten son so that whosoever Believeth  in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.( John 3:16)  The Gospel  is so  simple, just believe and be saved. The power to overcome sin only through believes in Jesus Christ.  He has overcome the world and concurred sin and death, He died and now He is alive.  Salvation is so simple that man tends to doubt, they say it can’t be that simple, I have to do something! I must work to earn this salvation. But in that attempt to make something happen, we make Christ’s suffering as of no value. We are declared righteous to God through faith, and faith believes in Him the one and only true living God.  Without this faith, it is impossible to please God: for he that cometh to God must believe he is, (Hebrew 11:6)
We must know that our Human nature is sinful and every one of us is guilty of Sin “There is no one who does not sin.” 1 Kings 8:46, John 8:7-11. And this means that we can’t  please God in our own way as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one : there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable ; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.  (Romans 3:10-12) 

“But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets ; even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe ; for there is no difference : for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God ; being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus : whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God ; to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness : that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26

People rely on the outward act or form by which they indicate their recognition of the existence of a god, or gods, having the power of their destiny and this is what we call religion. Humanity loves religion and definitely you will find some form of religion where humanity is.  The salvation of Jesus Christ gives us freedom from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal destruction, and eternal happiness while religion gives us bondage, we remain chained and there is no freedom from sin, it does not make one meek, humble imitator of Christ, it is not of God, it is not godly or heavenly; it is hellish and of the devil. Religion is not salvation. The righteousness of God is being produced by the Spirit of God.( Romans 5) and it comes through hearing by faith.(Acts 10)

Those who genuinely believe in Jesus, He gives them the power to become sons of God. They are the mirror image of Christ as they display Christlikeness in their lifestyle. They walk by the Spirit and do not gratify the desires of the flesh.

To believe therefore, comes hand in hand with true repentance and turning away from sin, remember faith without action I dead.

Lord we have sinned so many times and are guilty of unbelief,
We have failed to find your mind in your word,
May you subdue our corruptions and give us power over them
And may all the glory be unto your living Son Jesus Christ. Amen and Amen

WHOSE IMAGE ARE YOU?

Image
 An Image is a visual representation of an object. It is the likeness of something. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you will see an image of yourself. The image is the likeness of the object which is you. The image has nothing more/extra or less than what you have. This exactly means that the Image and the object are the same. Let's try and figure this out in the life of a Christian. I'll use myself as an example, before I got born again, I was living a different life. I was living a life of oppression. I was living in anger and bitterness. My life then wasn't pleasing to God. In this case, my life was an image/ clear indication of the kingdom I was operating in then. But when I got born again, my old man and his deeds were put off and I became a new man. With time, I was renewed in knowledge and I became an image of Him who brought me out of darkness into His marvellous Light (Jesus Christ). This is exactly what happens when one gets born again, the old self fades...

Another warning about the imminent Return of Jesus

  The Spirit took me to a place in the dream and told me to behold what was about to happen. And I could see dark huge clouds moving fast in the dark sky. Then I saw the moon and above it there was something so strange, it was another body like the moon. There   were strange signs in the sky and i saw very strange things I don’t know how to describe but they seemed to me like celestial bodies. Then I was taken in spirit to a different; and I was standing out in an open place and as I was standing there, then suddenly   there was a loud blast and in a flash, I saw the heavens opened in an instant and   I saw people snatched into heaven. The Lord opened my eyes and I saw them consumed into the brilliant bright pure   heavenly glory. Then I saw glorious white cloud cover the entry into heaven. And the remaining earth was overcome with darkness. Then I saw so many people in chaos and they were running to and fro screaming and some were exclaiming that indee...

Vision of a glorious golden crown

I saw a vision this past night, I found myself standing in the field.  The sky was clear despite some little clouds in the east. Somebody who seemed to me like a prophet of God was standing just a few steps away from where I was. and we were both looking up into the sky. Then this prophet told me to look beyond the clouds to see the gift that God have set forth for the faithful. I tried to look but I could not see anything, that's when the H oly Spirit opened my eyes and I could see a very beautiful magnificent golden crown with the Cross on the front face.  It was titling slowly so i could easily observe it from both side. It had a polished golden surface with beautiful golden droplets on the surface. I saw it tilt again as it fades from my sight. end. prepare for the coming of Christ Jesus on absolute holiness and righteousness.
