We ended the previous article with a consciousness of our new dwelling place in Jesus, where the Godhead also dwells. In Jesus where you reside, you can only be alive to God and dead to sin – Rom. 6:10-11, “For the dead that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life […]
In the Upper-room, our gracious Jesus said that there were many mansions or dwelling places in His Father’s house. Many think of this only as Heaven. I do not want to fault them. I will only add that, Jesus Himself taught on two different occasions that, Heaven is God’s Throne, not necessarily God’s house – […]
You know, the Apostle Peter knew the implications of denying Jesus. Our dearest Jesus had earlier on taught that ‘anyone who denied Him before men was going to be denied by Him before His Father and the holy angels’ – See Matt. 10:32; Lk. 12:8. So, in the Upper-room, the apostle Peter knew that he […]
The phrase ‘in Christ Jesus’, and similar ones like ‘in Him’, ‘in Jesus’ and ‘in Christ’ are splashed all over the pages of the letters to the New Testament church. They make us understand that our Lord Jesus is both a Person and a Place in which you should be. Jesus Himself said for us […]
“Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, but he who does (of course, on earth) the will of My Father in heaven.”- Matt. 7:21.Emphasis mine. Beloved, God expects us to do what our dearest Jesus does in Heaven on earth, because we are His followers. This is nothing […]
Beloved, prayer is a conversation with God your Father and King through Christ. Now, our dear God says to “pray without ceasing”. This infers that prayer is the ‘breath’ of the believer – 1Thess. 5:17. Slow separation from your Source Yes, literally the implication of “pray without ceasing” is that, if you stop praying, you […]
As an arrangement, the beautifully-complex Kingdom of God has a past, present and future dimensions in itself also. Oh what a complicated shifting System! So, the Kingdom is not just for the future, but is the pre-existing nation or environment of God, into which every believer is presently translated into spiritually, at the new birth […]
The Kingdom of God is a complex system – just like all that God makes after Himself. As such, the Kingdom has three main kaleidoscopic dimensions. The word ‘kaleidoscope’ is from two Greek words: ‘kalos’ meaning ‘beautiful’ and ‘eidos’ meaning ‘form’. So, kaleidoscope means ‘a complex, colourful and shifting pattern or scene’. So, a pattern […]
Unlike the religious thinking that Jesus was homeless, He had a home of His own. I did not say He owned the home, because the Bible does not tell us that. It does tell us that Jesus lived on His own, not that He perched with a disciple. He moved from Nazareth, where His parents […]
Jesus received very costly gifts from wise men who gave Him gold, frankincense and myrrh – Matt. 2:11, “And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense and myrrh.” It is important to note that, all the three gifts were a store of wealth in those days, not just the […]
