MARK OF CHRIST

MINISTER

THE MARK OF CHRIST

No more unnecessary troubles or struggles from any quarter, persons or spirits because of the mark of Christ on the believer. This gives us rest because it means that whatever comes our way has been allowed or permitted by the Sovereign Lord and will eventually work out for our good to the glory of His Name which is what the book of Job and the story of Israel is all about. God’s stamp or mark of approval is on Israel over the ages despite all that it has been through, God is been faithful to perform His good word including the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ amongst other numerous things. Eventually and finally Christ will come to rescue Israel and reign supreme from Jerusalem. In the same vein, every believer is a spiritual Israel and the mark or seal of approval is the Holy Ghost. Whatever is not going to work for your good as a believer in Christ will pass and not come near you, so in anything that comes your way that seems difficult be brave and of good courage that if it came to you, though Satan may mean it for evil but the Lord in His mercy will perform His goodness right in the midst of it. Eventually, the Lord by His sovereign act will win our hearts and take the rule over our whole body as His temple and reign in our hearts (His Jerusalem – City of God) the capital of our being. That is why Paul said from henceforth (ie now that I am born again) let no man trouble ME!! We are a brand new creation, holy, incorruptible, cannot be cursed. It is not by circumcision or uncircumcision, it has nothing to do with what we did or did not do, it has all to do with the cross of Christ and WHAT GOD DID FOR US IN CHRIST. Believe it. When Jesus was asked “what must we do to work the works of God”, His reply was BELIEVE!! When the good shepherd marks His sheep, it is to identify His own make sure that sheep is not lost. Not only that, the sheep cannot be stolen and if it is, the thief cannot keep it and the owner will find it. It also tells the value of the sheep. For instance if the same build of car is marked with Lexus or ford label, the Lexus car will have more value by virtue of the label ever before we consider the content. We are valuable to our God and highly favoured for His eternal purpose and blessings.

Galatians 6

   14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

   15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

   16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

   17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.

John 6

   28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

   29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Mark 5:36

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

Luke 8:50 

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES YOURSELF

MINISTER

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURE FOR YOURSELF

The Lord wants all His children to seek Him and know Him for themselves. Jesus said take heed what you hear and how you here. Also once you are born again attend a Bible believing Church that seeks God daily. Seek the Lord to know His specific plans, purpose, will for your life. That is why He saved you and that is why you are still alive. Listen to your ministers, pastors or apostles that the Lord has set over you but do not take their every word hook line and sinker. God does not want you to be like them because He has a specific plan for you hence He gave you the Holy Spirit to lead you and mature you in line with His specific eternal plans and purposes. Follow men only as they follow Jesus, if in any area they are not following Jesus, then you have responsibility to yourself to follow Christ in that area. We are all flesh and blood and God is working on us daily including the apostles and leaders. So Paul stressed that even though an angel comes to preach to you still test the spirit or simply put, test the word. Paul praised the Berean Christians of old Berea in this area saying that they did not take all he preached hook line and sinker but that they checked whether what he preached was so in this wise were nobler than those in Thessalonica. In current times, Christians are hardly told to seek the Lord for themselves but take men’s words hook line and sinker and many have been branded rebellious and ostracised for taking a stand for the truth of the grace and gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Remember, we are not the good news, Jesus Christ is the good news. We are all beneficiaries of the good news and we preach because we want others to benefit from the good news of the Kingdom also. So we need to allow others to seek and find God. There are some three basic though not exhaustive but simple ways to test the words you hear even if the words are preached by an angel or by someone who has seen God or Jesus or even an apostle. First is it in line with the word of God? The next test is whether it ministers GRACE to the hearer. Is the message or word telling you to do something to get something or simply telling you to receive what Christ has already finished? Jesus did all the hard work so we can rest in His works. As Paul said, I am what I am by the grace of God. Paul also said, I fasted, prayed in tongue more than you, suffered, received stripes, put in prison, hungered, forsaken by men but concluded yet not I but the grace of God which was at work in me.  The final and most important test is does it minister Christ. Is Christ the foundation of the message? As a saved Child of God, everything is in Christ. Things are given by Christ, freely received and not by any effort of yours to earn it. What you do after you are saved is a result of what you believe eg praying, fasting, giving etc (ie by the grace and power of God through faith). These good things you do after you are saved are not to earn anything but that is who you are, a new living creature who has the mind of Christ and made in the image of God who is kind and loving. So you manifest those character as one made in His image – kind, gentle, humble, slow to speak, quick to listen, loving and obedience when the Lord speak. Paul says we have received sanctification unto obedience to the faith. I feel we have muddled the picture by preaching and seeking the glamour eg prosperity and other goodies of the kingdom, which are supposed to be addition instead of preaching the process of seeking the Kingdom and let the other things follow us or be added by the Lord Himself. So we become selfish and trapped in taking thoughts of our lives, circumstances, our bodies which the Lord admonished us to leave to Him and seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Simply put desire the Kingdom and will of God in HEAVEN to be done on the Earth. It is in the mind. Let our thinking change in line with God’s way. You can know His acts and not know His ways just like the children of Israel but you will not get the Promised Land that flows with all goodies. Out of about 2 million people from Egypt that knew His acts only 2 entered because they knew God that He loves faith. Only FAITH pleases God (ie resting and relying on Him and Christ’s finished work). Caleb and Joshua saw the enemies defeated from the Promised Land. They said God (not them) has removed their defence and that we are well able to take the land. They saw the finished work of Christ from far.

So the main thing to do after you are born again is to aspire to know God and the Lord Jesus and seek Him daily to know His heart and mind so you can devote to His plan and purposes and this may be different from your previous mind set. As you seek the Lord and spend time with Him, or as the youth say – “hang out with Him, you too will realise His awesomeness and certain things will begin to leave you eg you start to speak differently by the word of God, avoiding those things that are not good to your body the temple of God. It will not be questions of law of don’t do this or that but you will know and leave some stuff out of reverence for the Lord and His Christ. Your taste, desire, and eagerness to sin or do bad diminishes and you begin to desire the things of God more until those things which do not please God simply disappear because you do not count them as major anymore but you now prioritise the things that please God as you study the words of Christ, meditate on them until they become rich in you. In other words simply put, it is the truth that you know that will make you free as a Christian and child of the Most High God. We will talk about freedom and being free in some other message. However it is good to note that briefly that your liberty is not defined by how good the tangible things are on the outside. Just because you went for a job interview today and did not get it does not mean that you are not free. Your freedom is in knowing who you are in Christ and sticking to it despite contrary evidence. Eventually, things will line up. Jesus was asleep in the storm while the disciples were panicking. Jesus truly asked them “where is your faith” not “why did not use your faith by speaking as I have spoken”. So where your faith in the storm is, is it in Christ or God or in the storm fearing that it can destroy you or resting in the Lord who said “let us go over to the other side”. Peter was in the boat, he was a fisherman and he knew that the tide can be high at sea sometimes and eventually there will be calm. So it is not because Jesus calm the storm that they got to the other side because He has already spoken “let us go over…..” and went to sleep. Jesus was free and using the power of His freedom within of who He is and has commanded. However, whenever the Lord speaks, He said persecution comes because of the word, in other words, the devil shows up because of the word just like he showed up test Jesus “if you are…” after God had said “This is my beloved Son. Jesus just referred Satan to God who spoke the word in the first place. That is where Jesus faith was – IN GOD. Jesus says have faith IN GOD. Some interpret it as “have the God kind of faith”. That is not what that scripture said. It says clearly Have faith IN GOD. So ask yourself – where is my faith. If it is in Christ, and not what the devil is waving or storming at you then consider yourself free indeed because that storm came to pass. So once you are born again, study the word and believe the revelation that  the Holy Spirit gives you on that word. See the scriptures below

Acts 17: 10-12

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were nobler than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Exodus 33:13

Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.  

Philippians 3:10

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

John 17:3

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Knowing God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit does not just merely know about good and evil, good or bad but Him until we reflect Him, His Glory Power and Kingdom

1 Chronicles 16:11-12

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.

Lamentations 3:25-26 

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.  It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD

Daniel 11:32

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits

John 17

   3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Hosea 6:6 

For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

WRITE

MINISTER

WRITE THE VISION

When I started writing Cybergospel newsletter to preach the word of God, I was not sure what I was doing but I just knew that Cyberspace has a plethora of information and a huge percentage of them are mostly from evil concept eg bullying, obscenities etc. So why can’t we use the internet and stuff it with the Gospel of the Grace of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. However, it later dawned on me the power of writing while you are fellowshipping with the Lord. John wrote the book of revelation alone, if he did not we won’t be running with it today. First, He said study to show yourself approved unto God, not man, a workman who need not be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth. Like my niece told me in a discussion, “be a specialist in the word” just as people specialise and become professor in their own field. God calls those who study the word workmen because it is the word of faith that you will preach as power of God to salvation and all its accompaniment. However, it is not enough to study and just memorise it but it is good to WRITE it in your heart by memorising it, meditating on it as well as speaking it to yourself and worshipping the Lord with the word and also to write it so others can read it. In those days, things were written on tablets of stones called tables but today God Himself write in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, the pen of the ready writer. So it is also good not only to write in your heart but in some other form that others may read it. When you write like that, it becomes prophetic for you and also for others to read and becomes prophetic for them as well. So it became clearer what I was doing with Cybergospel. I do not have to keep what the Lord has shown me in His word to myself. I have to write it out one way or the other so others can read it. When the Lord shows you things in the word in revelation, it is not only meant for you but for your generation and even those after you. The reason is that the things God shows you paint your thinking mind and imagination with visions of God. God promises that when you write things like that, not only will others read it, but they will run with it even when you are no more around. Habakkuk was a prophet who was moaning in Chapter 1 about injustice, iniquities and oppression in his days. He was querying the Lord why He just stand there and watch people get away even with murder. God is telling Habakkuk, just write down what I tell. It is a vision. As you study the word, God begins to reveal His eternal purposes which will not just be for you but also for generations after you. Most of the Lord’s word and work are for an appointed time. Note that the word works itself not us working the word. Most people think that they have been heard because of their much speaking the word which we call confession of faith. It is not a mechanical or technical thing. God has spoken His words and they must come to pass at the appointed time. Our speaking, meditating or memorising the word is to remind us and help us when doubts or the devil wants to focus your attention on circumstances rather than the vision as painted by the word. When you meditate, it is part of worship to the Lord because you mutter the word, thank God for the promise and see yourself in that promise and not let the devil or man or the physical senses talk you out of it. Eventually, at the appointed time the vision will speak for itself or come to pass. This happens alright and people give testimony that they confessed 1000 times and that is why it happened. That is not grace but works. Look at it. The Lord says that at the end it shall speak and not lie. The Lord says even when it tarries, WAIT for it, it shall surely come, it will not tarry. So it is simply faith and patience that allows the word to fulfil itself not because you said it all day or a 100 times. When you say the word over and over again, it takes root in you so that your soul can be at peace in the storm before the vision or the word speaks or manifest by itself because God has spoken it and it will not return void. When we understand this, it will help a lot of us Christians to have the peace of God instead of running up and down looking for prophets, or deliverance and all sorts that brethren are subjected to today and prevent them from being merchandised. God says that as a man purposed in His heart, let Him give not as he is cajoled to give or hyped to give or sometimes outright guilt instillation to give. God has blessed us and we are therefore free to give. There is the grace of giving which the Lord has given to us so we can give freely even beyond tithes and offerings. Jesus is a once and for all offering for all mankind, so we give freely in love of the course of Christ and to publish the gospel of the Kingdom. JESUS CHRIST is the SEED that brought all the numerous blessings upon us, we did not earn it. So study the word and write. The computer and the internet are the freest media to write today. It is perfect means of spreading the good news or vision.

Habakkuk 2

   1I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

   2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

   3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

   4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

The Lord talks about those He gave power to achieve certain victories and they imputed the success to their god. We do not say so out rightly and this can be subtle. When you say, I did this and that, gave £10, fasted 2 days, and confessed the word every day for 10 days and you got the miracle, that is work and it is an example of imputing the power to another god. The things are good in themselves but we must understand that every inspiration, stirring and the action behind any inspiration are all from the Lord. He started it and finished it. All that you did to the point of that miracle is not of yourself. God will not share His glory, but we are partakers of His glorious nature because we are His children. So just write the vision and when it comes to pass glorify the Lord and whatever the Lord lays in your heart before then to do, do it while you WAIT for the vision or word to come to pass. Oh! But it is working – yes. The bible says that the man that does such things ie WORKS shall LIVE by them. The Lord wants us to come to a rest of faith in Him and not our achievements shown in the tangible which are manifested because of the vision or the Word of the living God itself which is already settled before you even found it in the bible.

Habakkuk 1

   6For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their’s.

   7They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

   8Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

   9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

   10And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

   11Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

THERE IS A SET TIME

MINISTERTHE SET TIME IS NOW!

As the bible says there is a set time for everything. For those who want the perfect will of God, it is through faith in Christ and His finished work and patience that help us to obtain the promise. While we are waiting in patience that is the time that we begin to know eternal life – ie knowing Christ and the Lord God who saved, called, ordained and separated us unto the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the Grace of God by election not by any deed of us. When the set time comes everything and all things perfect that the Lord promised begin to manifest and that is expanding His Kingdom and establishing it and also establishing His covenant with us in our generation. Part of the favour at the set time is many sons brought to glory to the Kingdom of God (KOG), salvation, Healings, restoration, reconciliation, reparation, re-compensation, indeed restitution of all things. Things will fall in place by the hands of the Almighty God and His Christ. The rain will fall the anointing will flow. When it is time you will know. The Lord will show you, quicken you and hasten things. Jesus did loads in just 3 years and was noised through the whole earth. We won’t have to lift a finger. Wherever we go it will happen because IT IS TIME. Most times we cannot let it happen by our struggle, though by faith we can do little eg Jesus turned water to wine when it was not His time but when it is time, things happen, there is holy commotion. God does not visit unannounced, something or some things will happen for the world around us to see His glory. Before that set time the word of the Lord will try us just like Joseph. It is a time to build character, and love prevails over every evil, forgiveness abounds, you love all, forgive all and expect that everyone be saved. You look forward to salvation, the KOG manifested, demonstration of the Spirit and power, you just know that no one is to blame including those who hated you and despitefully used you. You just know that it is only by the Grace of God that you are what you are. No blame, no shame, no regrets, no loss, nothing missing, nothing broken because at the set time all things fall in place. How? I don’t know but He makes all things beautiful in its time. Our fathers in the flesh also hoped for that set time when Jesus will be revealed when eternity and time will be compressed and restored to a time called NOW or TODAY or DAY – WOW! GRACE SUPPLIES FREELY, LOVE GIVES FREELY and FAITH RECIEVES OR TAKES. So we need to take the word of God now and preach it to the world from top to bottom and all around the middle in anyway and everywhere and the end draws now. For those who are saved, God says now is your salvation nearer, NOW IS THE TIME. Get up, go ye into the world and preach the gospel as the Lord has commanded to EVERY CREATURE – No discrimination – rich old, poor, all races, all colour and from pole to pole. Arise and shine

Psalm 102:13:

   13Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

1 Peter 1

   7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

   8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

   9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

   10Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

   11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

   12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

   13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Genesis 21

   1And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

   2For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

Ecclesiastes 3:

   1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

   11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

2 Corinthians 6:2:

   2(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Isaiah 49

   8Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

Romans 8

   26Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

   27And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

   28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

   29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

   30Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

   31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
