God Has Empowered Us

No. Christians are not waiting. The Kingdom of God is already come. It is. And we are already in it. We are not waiting for the next life just so we can have our share of the good life. Religion has brought those shackles to our thinking. Religion has made us believe that it is alright to suffer because of the hope of a good life after this one. That is very wrong. God has already empowered us! The life that God wants for us is already within our grasps. And people miss it because of ignorance.

God has given Man power over this physical world. We have power to do a lot of things and Man has come a long way so much so that we are now able to change the color of our skin. But more than that, God has empowered us in the Spiritual realm as well! And so yes, we can save a person through a heart by-pass operation; but more than that, we can heal the person even without physical intervention: through the faith of the operation of God! And we can take advantage of it not only at the point of death, but more importantly at every single moment of our time here on earth.

Think about this: Man was cursed since the time of Adam. That was our condition before we got born again. But now, we are blessed with all spiritual blessings! The curse has been lifted up. Think about it. Before you were born again, finding a job was almost impossible. But now that the blessing is upon your life, do you still believe that finding a job would be hard? Think about it. Now that you are born of God, do you think starting out a business would be risky enough? I mean just think about it. Now that you are in Christ, do you think life would still be hard?

God has empowered us! To continue on with the works of Christ! Now, continuing the works of Christ doesn't mean that we have to be poor. Well no one is stopping you if you want it that way. You can be poor if you want. But Scripture says that He was made poor so that we may become rich! And God is not poor, God our Father is rich! Why would He want His children to be poor? It just doesn't make sense.

But it is religion that tells us being poor is good that if we just have enough of it, and enough suffering as well, we are sure of our way into heaven. That just doesn't coincide with the Scriptures. Lazarus was not in heaven because he was poor. The rich man was not in hell because he was rich. But what did father Abraham tell to the rich man? He said, "They have the Law and the Prophets. Let them hear them." The Law and the Prophets sums up in Jesus Christ. This generation will not go to hell because of sin even. But because they rejected the gospel of Christ.

God has empowered us. We've got what it takes to really glorify God in our lives. So let us do that one thing needed. Let us learn more about Him and receive instruction from His Holy written Word. And let us closely pay attention to Him that we may learn to do them.

How do you know?

I asked: How do you know that when you die you will be with Jesus? Somebody said: 1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And WHAT are these who believe... 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... And what shall become of those who believe... Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. I said: Yes, sure the Bible tells us that, and our Pastors tell us that. But how are you so sure that indeed you have eternal life? And again he says: Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED. This is the glorious future of those whom the Father foreknew. Again I s...

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Working Out Salvation

Php 2:12-15 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. (14) Do all things without murmurings and disputings: (15) That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;  Just to remove the misconstruction here, ‘work out’ is not synonymous with ‘work for’. The former means to develop while the latter means to earn. Salvation is not earned. It is freely given of God. He made it that way so that no one can boast. But salvation needs to be developed so that we may reap its fruits. Christians struggle with their faith because after that they have received the Lord Jesus they still face the same problems, the same struggles, the same circumstances even long after that they be...
