WHAT IS GOOD ABOUT THE FRIDAY?

 

His goodness is good about the Friday and it looks good on us. That's why it's worth celebrating🥂🤍

The goodness encapsulated in his death, burial, and resurrection to the end that God would in us. 

HOW?

 For he is good and his mercy endureth forever

His goodness was reflected in the creation story.

Even after Man fell and knows good from evil, his goodness sent them out of the garden that they won't live in their sins forever.

The seed of the woman prophesied was the goodness sent to overcome the evil in this world.

 The goodness personified couldn't resist his nature.

He went about doing good.

And anyone who has come to acknowledge and identify with this goodness will overcome the evil days in this world and be created in him unto good works.

The fruit of the spirit is Love and one of the pieces of evidence is  goodness

 All others are still in goodness, righteousness, and truth.

WHAT A GOOD GOD

Do you want to identify with this goodness?

Believe the good news.

Believe the gospel.

Don't say it is too good to be true.

Say, why shouldn't I enjoy this goodness?

MY SPIRIT, MY HEADQUARTER

 

My spirit, my essence.

My spirit, my reality.

My spirit, my headquarter.

A dead man is called by his name but no response.

Gone.

Lifeless body on the ground.

Breath of life was breathed into man's nostrils to become a “living soul"

The body wants comfort and pleasure.

Soul wants to comprehend all.

Spirit: the entirety of what man is and where fate lies searches for the truth.

They are different entities.

Christ's body says let this cup pass over me but his spirit says let your will be done.

There is a contention that separates the entities.

Even as God in flesh, he has to do what will continually put the voice of flesh in silence to echo his assignment on earth via the spirit man.

Invest in your spirit man because, in the end, that's what will stand the test of time.

Say “My Spirit, My headquarter " repeatedly.

There is a way it makes you conscious of your reality.

FORGET & FOCUS

 Piles of thought cloud my psyche 

Rains of emotions almost flowed out through my eyes

I can't help but to wish this memory can be formatted

I feel like a shadow of myself

Why? He asked.

While brooding, he said with his soothing voice,

It is understandable.

But remember, asides from the obvious calculations that made you think you were not a choice in the first instance, my instruction was what you also followed. 

And that settles it.

Don't be caught up in your past because it blocks your eyes from seeing what the future holds. 

Focus, don't be bitter nor feel defeated.

“You are strong," he said.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Let's take a moment to just forget our differences about Celebrating Christmas or not...

Let's forget whether the date was chosen to counteract the influence of paganism or that's the exact day of Jesus' birth..

Matthew 2:10

 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

It's a season to be joyful about💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

It's all about how the Gospel came to being...

How that from the beginning, the seed of the woman that bruised the head of the serpent was prophesied.

How that the incorruptible seed of the word was made flesh manifested before his death, burial and resurrection.

 Oh!!! The birth of jesus that made me know I have the joy of salvation to the end that God can now indwell me through his Spirit.

Anna and Simeon blessed and thanked God for the consolation of Israel and redemption in Jerusalem.

It's all about ChristJesus

Thank you Abba🙏🏽 for

Transformation, Zoe, Salvation, Redemption, Sanctification, Wisdom.

It's a season of Love

A Giving season

A Sowing season

God sowed Jesus his begotten son so that many sons can be brought into the kingdom....

 Are you a Son? 

Son; not as a biological configuration but as an heir of God through Christ.

He's extending his fatherhood arm this season......

COME

Jesus Loves You Romans 10:9-10 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Subscribing to God's standard is not old school.

 

In a kingdom, there is a culture; a way of life.

 How you talk, think and do things will show people to a large extent where you come from.

There are principles and standards laid down that sets a kingdom apart from other kingdoms.

There are some notable display amongst Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo that distinguishes them from one another.

As believers, we are from a kingdom and from a city called Zion. Some things can not just be known with us.

Overtime, it has been counted as a norm probably how the society now pictures some things as no big deal but to us it's a real deal.

Some will just be naturally angry with you because you don't subscribe to their own mindset about a perspective. You are just different and weird to them.

This is not a condemnation message as we know people's mindsets are shaped by a lot of events and how their nurturing is like.

Is God's standard that scarce ? Asides from the scarcity, the way some people think it's not even possible for people to honour that instruction in Hebrews 13:4 is scary.

How do we tell them to believe us and let them know that people still hold God's word in high esteem ?

How do we let them know that following the standard is for our benefits because God knows what is best for us ?

How do we tell them that being in some places as a believer is strange to our lineage?

How do we tell them we are not a fanatic but just living out our reality?

You really don't need more explanation because your actions and words already does.

My prayer is that God's standard gains more ground and that we won't lose our guards in Jesus name.

We stand boldly and firmly in God's standard in Jesus name.

THE INEVITABLE JESUS 21

~ The inevitability of Jesus in the grave and beyond

When he died, the devil rejoiced, thinking it has finished.

Little did he know that it is not over until it is over.

Death where is your sting?

Grave where is your victory?

These questions has to be asked before Jesus could say he has finished his course and has completed his assignments.

He asked them but they were dumbfounded 

What a rhetorical question!

He is no more in the grave.

Death has been swallowed up in victory and now we are alive and complete in him.

We are alive because he is alive.

We are no more dead in our sins because he rose from the dead.

It is in his resurrection that our faith is birthed.

THE INEVITABLE JESUS 20

 

~The risk aspect of his inevitability

A fraction of God came to the world. He came as the lamp who took away the sins of the world.

As a man, he did not act like the mighty God or display how sovereign he is. He knows that to access the supernatural, one needs to go through the process when it comes to being on this earthly realm.

Even thou he was God, he still prays so as to align to the Father's will continually. He still humbles himself by following the normal principle to access the father on the earthly realm.

God sending him to the world was a big risk.

Let's see something together,

Just imagine if : 

Jesus did not overcome the temptation and he listened to the devil ?

What if he got carried away with the affairs of this world ?

As he was human, he still has the power to do what God can do. But he chose to remain humble even till his death on the cross.

God will be incomplete and cease to be God if Jesus did not successfully complete his mission on earth.

The glory has to return to him but just imagine if he doesn't ascend back to heaven?

The world will be in total confusion.
