  • LIFE OF MEANING

    LIFE OF MEANING

    May the blessings of the Lord be ours in Jesus name.

    We will be looking at how we call bring meaning to life.

    More than 90% of our human pursuit remain pursuits after vanity. Like the preacher says in Ecclesiastes, vanity upon vanity, all is vanity

    Ecclesiastes 1:2 KJV
    Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

    Ecclesiastes 1:14 KJV
    I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

    Ecclesiastes 2:1 KJV
    I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

    Ecclesiastes 2:11 KJV
    Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

    The Bible says: Life and death are brought before us, we should choose life so we may live.

    Proverbs also says: There’s a way that seems right to a man but the end is death.

    What we often live for that do not count later.

    1. *Food
    Many people all their lives pursue after what to eat.

    At the end of life, not a calf or grain will be taken with us to heaven

    Sometimes we need to relax and ask ourselves: Does it really matter?

    Some people have put their greater expenses and life pursuit on food.

    1 Corinthians 6:13 KJV
    Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them.
    Both food and belly shall end destroyed with time

    What you shall be left with is your spirit man.
    Jesus said: man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from God
    What Jesus Christ is saying is: Food grows the body.

    But the more important is the word. Because the word grows the spirit of man. So it is more important to find and live by God’s word.
    The psalmist, David says that he seek for the word of God more than his food.
    Do you know what?

    Those who have the word have more provision, supply and food.

    When Jesus refused to succumb to the needy pressure for food when he was tempted, he was given dominion to multiply food for thousands of people.

    When Moses ruled over his appetite through a fasted life he became the access for provision of manna to millions of Israelites.

    Those who live to eat become slave to food and the elements.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Those who eat to live master nature and become successful in life

    Here are some people destroyed because of food:

    1. Esau,

    2. The sons of Eli (Hophni and Phineas),

    3. Israel in the wilderness

    To live for food without commensurate spiritual development is to be opened to

    1. Spiritual attack
    2. Poverty
    3. Lost of birthright – Dominion

    2. Sex
    1 Corinthians 6:13 KJV
    …. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

    Our body is created not for sex but for serving the Lord.

    Food and sex are good but they have their place and use.

    To abuse our body through sex is to be set for a down life of shame and weakness.

    One of the most weakening force is sex.
    Remember Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of sexual impurity.
    You cannot be sexually impure and be spiritually powerful.

    Sex doesn’t bring meaning to life.

    Instead, when you find meaning then would sex be useful to your life.
    Don’t you wonder about the dead.

    Upon being declared dead, the sex organ which is so much celebrated becomes nothing and within a short time decay.

    Though the media such as the TV, radio and internet may promote sexually explicit contents, it is to your wisdom to flee.

    The Bible says: Flee every appearance of evil.
    Remember sex out of marriage takes meaning out of your life. It leads to confusion.

    3. Money
    Money also doesn’t give meaning to life. Money is mere transactional tool for life fulfilment.

    The use Money outside purpose and meaning further degrade us.

    Abuse of money leads to pride of life.

    Money isn’t given as a tool by which we measure success or compete or compare ourselves with ourselves.

    To pursue money making as the sole reason for living is to become idolatrous…

    This is the worshipping of money as a god

    Matthew 6:24 KJV
    No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

    The more we are inclined to money the more we lose sight of God.

    And when we lose sight of God we live life of vanity and emptiness
    Life outside God is vanity.

    1 Timothy 6:10,17 KJV
    For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. [17] Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

    The love of money takes us out of a life of meaning.

    The love of money takes away joy and happiness.

    Everyone that loves money are never happy no matter how much they have
    There’s that looming fear of greed and not enough.

    This is why many of our politicians keep amassing wealth even beyond what they need… A demon has taken over their reasons and judgement.

    They love money above purpose, service and life of meaning. So they are given reprobate minds
    4. *Success
    No matter what we become or achieve without purpose or meaning, it becomes utterly useless.

    The reason is that one day, all the earthly success shall come to an end.
    A professor no matter the number of academic award cannot take his brain to heaven.

    A celebrity also ends being celebrated at most at death.
    And no matter what you think you achieved, somebody is coming to overtake you.
    All is vanity.
    Whatever success we achieve here on earth without God is nothing.

    Whatever amount of money we have somebody else is coming to take possession of it.

    Unrestricted sex leads to making oneself cheap, a degradation of one’s soul
    This brings us to the question:

    Then what is life?.

    How do we bring meaning to life?

    How do we become eternally joyful?
    This we will continue to look into next week
    God bless you all for following.

    May God give meaning to our lives in Jesus name

  • LIFE LESSONS IN RELATIONSHIP

    *LIFE LESSONS IN RELATIONSHIP

    Good evening to our big family here. I lost my dad to death yesterday night.

    And I have significant lessons to share on it for every relationship. I hope to be able to wrap it up.

    My Dad is a no-nonsense retired policeman. He is a strong personality. He loved the children but you cannot see it except during some vulnerable moments that threatens his children such as sickness or near-death experiences a couple of time.

    I cannot remember him hugging me as I grow, he has his way of expressing love. I think I took a little of this nature.

    *Fast forward:

    Few days ago, getting closer to the end he looked at my elder sister Margaret and my brother Joseph. Then a little tear trickled down his cheek. My sister wiped it and he drew my brother to himself and he began to mumble some words.

    This is the deepest way Dad ever showed expression. It was deep, meaningful, vibrating and will last us for ages.

    I was told… This is touching.

    And I’m happy for this

    Deep lessons for relationship…

    1. Let’s not be too strong to show love.

    2. Let our weakness be about showing love constantly. Let it be our weakness that we show more love. Let our husband, wives and children feel the love in full.

    3. Let’s love one another as spouses and children and family at all times

    *A major point:

    Before death while about crossing over grudges, hatred and banters about enemies wouldn’t matter to any of us.

    Which means we can be deliberate about loving everybody while we are full of life.

    *A deep thrust

    Our humanity is deeper than we can imagine. We are all well connected. People from all walks of life shared my grief and loss. Even many people that I have never met before.

    Somebody came to mind: she dealt subtly with me some years ago. She also identified with me. My heart melts in love:

    And I heard in my spirit, human don’t often deliberately hurt each other. There are forces hurling us against each other.

    Our grief is symbolic in letting us know that we truly care for one another.

    *A message

    Before death or at death of a loved one you overlook all offences. They no longer matter.

    Consciously overlook all offences. Don’t wait till death experiences.

    *The gain of letting go:

    You drink full benefit of the relationship and goodness will be opened up for a long time while actively alive.

    Ultimately we will forget hurts while transiting from this world into the world beyond.

    Is anything hurting in your relationship? Connect back, flow and amend.

    You wouldn’t have this version of your world back so live it to the full and in love now.

    *ALWAYS KNOW, YOUR RELATIONSHIP IS SUPERB – DON’T ALLOW THE LITTLE HURTS STEAL THE JOY AWAY*

    There are beautiful lessons for the living and for good relationship when we visit the dying ones… Most of the nuances and shortcomings become irrelevant.

    Think deep on this, there’s a lesson for you here.

    Ecclesiastes 7:1-4 KJV
    A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. [2] It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. [3] Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. [4] The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

    *In loving memory of my Dad Ilesanmi ADEWUMI who passed on yesterday.*

  • GRACE

    I want to speak spontaneously on a joyful note of *GRACE

    I am going to make it personal experience building on scriptural quoting.

    I’ll be explaining grace with a story of Paul somewhere in the book of Acts.

    A chief captain upon finding out that Paul was a Roman because his city though a Jew was a colony of Rome exclaimed and doubted Paul.

    He told Paul: Do you know how much I paid to buy my citizenship?

    Paul smiled: Mine was free because I am a freeborn Roman citizen.

    Read the scripture below because I’ll be using it in my explanation:

    Acts 22:24-29 KJV
    The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. [25] And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? [26] When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. [27] Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. [28] And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. [29] Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

    1. In this life, we live from different world.

    Some undertake all they do from the physical while some project their lives discourse from the spiritual realm.

    2. It costs some people great fortune what others get for free.

    Everyone will not suffer to get certain opportunity through.

    In the olden days Romans colonized and ruled the world, so if you are a Roman citizens you are not allowed to suffer. No one is allowed to molest you as a Roman citizen.

    When the Chief Captain realized Paul was a Roman citizen he withdrew the scourge and made him go free.

    What if Paul never told the Chief Captain? He would have suffered for nothing. This is how many Christians suffer in life. They are citizens of heaven… Zion of the heavenly yet the earthly molest them and they kept quiet.

    See when the enemy maltreat you, report at the headquarters. Never keep quiet for maltreatment from the hordes of evil.

    My trust is: *I AM FREEBORN, NO PRICE*
    I hope I can explain it clearly. I hope so.
    When you’re a child of God, you cease from paying any price to get things done just as a Roman native will have nothing to pay being born free.

    A South African native will not have a dime to pay to get his citizenship. And as a citizen, there are inalienable rights and privileges which you don’t struggle to get. They are yours to possess.

    The Chief captain paid a high price to purchase his citizenship because he’s coming from outside.

    When you’re born again (and you know) you are playing as an insider. You are not outside, you are a decision maker on this earth because those who are of God are the inside player.

    In investment, those who play from the inside don’t suffer financial losses in stock trading.

    The Bible says: All things work for my good. This can only be for inside player.

    Therefore, you’re not beggarly in life and disposition. If you understand this: you’ll not be a prayer collector running from pillar to post.

    You’ll command things as sons and daughters in the house. A freeborn son in a house does not struggle to access his Father’s estate.

    Then if you’re a child of God, must you whimper to get things done?

    *This is where we are going:

    The new life we are called into is freely given.

    No price tag

    No struggle.

    The more the struggle the less of God. Many times when I see how much people pay to access spiritual truth, revelation, help and blessings I smile because all this things God freely gave to me at NO COST. Some boast of the fasting, prayers and crying they have to undertake to receive the blessings.

    But under the dispensation of grace the bible says:

    *FREELY YOU RECEIVE, FREELY GIVE*

    Grace means that you receive everything you have (including righteous living) on account of Jesus death and sacrifice. No price, only believe.

    Grace means, it is God that works in you both to will and to do.

    Grace means, because you’re a son in the house, you have access to

    Divinity
    Abundance
    Health
    Help

    Etc.

    All that the prodigal son needs to enjoy life is being at home with the father. All he needs to suffer is to be away out of the father’s presence. It was while he was away from the father’s presence that he had to pay with his sweat and struggle.

    Adam had everything free until he fell into sin. Afterwards, he had to struggle and sweat to live… To struggle and sweat to till for food.
    When your struggle is too much and not in good proportion with the blessings it is either of two reasons:

    1. Sin is found in your life, and you’re not repenting of it and not ready for genuine repentance.

    2. The devil is molesting you because you’re ignorant of who you are.

    *True grace takes away the struggles of life because you’re freeborn, a citizen of the greatest kingdom in the universe.

    Check your life. Are you living by grace or by struggles? If you live by struggles, please pray… As you pray God will step into your life and it will be a new day.

    And you’ll cease struggling in spiritual things and physical realm. All because you belong to the most transcendental kingdom.
    Thank you… We will continue on this grace next time by his grace.

  • GOD HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED US

    GOD HAS ALREADY ACCEPTED US

    This is an important message, a corner stone of our faith. Without this understanding our salvation and Christian profession is jaded.

    God has already accepted you.

    Ephesians 1:6 KJV
    To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

    The book of Lamentations says: The steadfast love of God never ceases. They are new every moment.

    The book of Romans says: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    With these three scriptural references the truth is established.

    1. God loves you no doubt about that even while you were a sinner.

    He loves you that he gave Jesus the Son to die and by this gesture gives room that you may be converted and saved

    2. His love is forever, steadfast. Continuously.
    The only thing God hates is sin but not the sinner.

    Jesus taught us that if any has a lost sheep he will go for it and search it out by all means. This is the story of love.

    In the same way, no matter how deep you’re in sin, God can save you.

    Isaiah 1:16-18 KJV
    Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; [17] Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. [18] Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

    According to scriptural truth, it is God seeking for man to save. Not man seeking for God to be saved…

    Religious teaching on the other one taught us that man is seeking for his own salvation… This is why many couldn’t leave sinful life and are beaten and battered in spite of many years of being in the church.

    The Bible says, man’s righteous, his attempt to please God by self effort is like filthy rag.

    Romans 5:7-8 KJV
    For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    While we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

    For a cover up, religion now create coverup and pretence in their services to God – for by religion we cannot measure up. You cannot understand the message of love and still remain in sin. Message of agape transforms when we understand it.

    God’s love is eternal.

    Man is damned and goes to hell when he refuses to respond to this wonderful love.

    God’s love is not conditional… It is not whether you’re good or bad. At all times God’s love is demonstrated as Christ died for man.

    John 3:16 KJV
    For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

    Romans 5:8 KJV
    But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

    What takes men to hell is to reject this love offer. All you need is to turn to his unconditional love.

    This is why an armed robber can be converted to start with a brand new life.

    The Prodigal Son As an Example
    While the prodigal son was at home he was loved. Again when he got into sin the father still loves him and waiting for him at home.
    When the prodigal son changed and got converted coming back home, his father ran towards him with big embrace.

    Before the prodigal son does any good he was loved all the same.

    God is like the sun

    The sun is always shining, the question of receiving of its brightness is dependent on our position to the sun.
    When you’re in the sun you have light. When you’re out of it darkness engulfs. The same way, when you face the love of God coming into his embrace you have light, life and glory. When you move from God’s love you become oppressed of the devil and darkness.

    The Lie of the Devil
    He makes us think we are hated by God. Like Adam and Eve we run away from his presence. By running away we become meat for the devil.

    No matter how bad your past is, God is saying come back home. The future is bright with God. Come boldly before God.

    Isaiah 1:18 KJV
    Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

    When you are bold to come, God will make you a new man.*

    In rounding up, if you understand this unconditional love, it becomes easy for you to receive all things from the Lord whether spiritually or physically. Don’t allow the devil to deceive you.

    *God loves you unconditionally. He has made you acceptable… The responsibility is on you to turn unto him.

    Shalom

  • THE WONDERS OF SOFTWARE

    In one of my recent seminars I was teaching on principles of wealth creation: I used this concept of software to drive home my point. I hope you’ll patiently go through.

    This discussion will go beyond money making, it can help you repair even your business and marital life in an amazing way.

    I told them: the hardware components of computers which is the physical or tangible parts are very similar in appearance.

    Bring thousands of computers together they will mostly look alike.

    The difference between one computer and another is often in the core, the inside components which is the unseen softwares installed. Some certain computer software can run a vast programs on which corporations and nations depends on while on another the computer serves just a tool for games.

    In the same light, we are all like the computers. Mankind in their millions look alike: One head, two arms, two legs, etc. Sometimes you can mistaken one person for another.

    What’s the difference?

    The software component of man which is his spirit essence. The unseen part of man determines significantly what a man can do or become.

    Thus, the unseen part of man determines hugely the outcome of a life.

    Some human beings are like softwares that serves nations and large corporations. While other people have software (spirit essence) pliable for leisure and games and mundane use.

    What’s your life like?

    During the said seminar I explained to them that if they desired a more quality life, all they’ve got to do is change the software within them.

    Human software are registered through words, association and actions. But principal medium is words. Thus you install or update your software (spirit/soul) through word contents.

    What kinds of words do you entertain?

    Jesus said: The words that I speak to you, they’re spirit and they are life.

    … And the word became flesh.

    Imperatively, you can transform from the general kinds and lowly being as you begin to assimilate new thoughts of prosperity, life, righteousness, health, blissful home and goodness of all kinds

    It is possible.

    Think of possibilities, get materials and contents that will enhance you, get motivations that will boot you daily. Reach out, expand and explode.

    Drop all the virus-kind softwares, junk thoughts, malware in the spirit and natural that corrupts.

    Install afresh thoughts that will rev you into a new unassailable heights. You’re limitless when the right kind of words comes into you.

    You can.

    It’s a new day.

  • THE CHEERLEADER

    Sometimes we struggle to please God, he sees.

    Many times we labour as if the result isn’t coming yet he watches.

    If you’re not careful you will resign and give up.

    Don’t pack your bag yet.

    If only your eyes are opened:

    You will see Father proudly showcasing a son who’ll not succumb. A son who will not give up upon a thousand adversity.

    The angels are watching and they are cheering you.

    You may not see them, this is why I’m sent as your cheerleader in this turbulent moment.

    The Fathers sees. Do you remember Job?

    Open your eyes to see: for he is proud of you. He sees your tears.

    He is coming down the crystal stairs of heaven just for you. For you’re the apple of his eyes.

    Don’t succumb until he picks you and decorate you. Remember, he’s coming.

  • THE REWARD

    This morning I felt like discussing with a friend and I knew it will serve someone else.

    My friend is doing all that can be done to put smiles on other people’s face. Working in the vineyard in the service of the Master.

    Like many of us there’s that secret question: When will I be rewarded?

    As innocent as this question is, it often leads to frustration and quitting because the kind of reward we are waiting for may never come.

    Recently, I have some WhatsApp groups in which I’ve put in labour in upward of two years to encourage, motivate and inspire people. Then somebody crashed the groups.

    I wanted to quit and take it easy. What’s the gain I asked myself. I do everything in the name of Christ and not a day comes that I asked for any kind of help or donation or what. What’s the gain?

    What is the gain?

    My wife was fast to tell me all the gains: As you’re committed to the things of God our lives have gotten better than when we were on our own terms. He rewards you know.

    No contradictions she was right and it’s obvious. God rewards.

    Beyond this: the morning after the WhatsApp groups were compromised, some came to chat me personally on one thing or the other – three beyond Nigeria shore. Then my wife said: you can’t ignore what you’re doing.

    What is your gain following God, doing good and adding values? You may be asking.

    I may not be able to answer you directly. But from personal experience as you create values God compensates, it only requires you to be able to see.

    Last year I held a program which I singlehandedly funded because everybody thought it was my program, even the Christian Association that hosted it left it all for me. The same day I got delivery of my recent car right while in the program.

    God rewards.

    A friend of mine was seen as a no-do-well because of his commitment to a national project without anyone funding him.

    Yesterday he told me how he received a gift of two-bedroom flat built in 48 days.

    God rewards.

    The biggest joy isn’t things we receive but the joy of being a co-labourer with Jesus.

    There’s a joy beyond understanding. Is that not a good reward? Even beyond money and things, look around, Father rewards and he delays not (but in his own ways).

    Don’t stop adding values. In his own way God will make all things beautiful in his time.

  • WINDOWS OF LIFE

    WINDOW OF LIFE – THE CARRIER OF LIFE

     

    Recently while we were in worship I gained certain divine insight.

    It is about the spiritual working of life and death. There are men who stands as windows of life and death.

    Let’s look at windows of death. They are men who receive demonic impartation and thereby become carrier of death, so they by nature spread death and destruction. So when the devil wants to bring destruction upon man’s realm he passes through this windows and manipulate their heart to seek destruction of mankind through conceived knowledge. A recent example is covid-19, the spread and economic manipulations worldwide.

    Windows of life are men and women who open up their spirit to spiritual impartation by the Holy Spirit and aided by angels spread life because they are carrier of life by the Holy Spirit.

    Then I was illuminated further: In a time of death as we have it now we must have men who are earnest to spread life with greater speed than the demons of Covid-19. So for death to succumb, the carriers of life must emerge.

    This can only be done by intensity of prayers, supplications and deep worship as the Holy Spirit comes down to revive what’s been broken down.

    Be a life carrier at your end. Let death stop at your end as you propagate life with greater speed and intensity than the ravaging Covid-19.

    To understand this, read this scripture

    Numbers 16:45-48 KJV
    Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. [46] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord ; the plague is begun. [47] And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. [48] And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.

    Somebody must stand between and put a stop to this pandemic of death. Enough.

    Finally God said into my spirit. Publish this, let men enlist themselves to be Windows of Life in this crucial hour of the world. Some people must make themselves the access through which divinity flow to nations.

    Be the man God will count on now, be the life carrier to counter Covid-19 and other bonded troubles of Covid-19 which include economy woes.

    Will you stand in the gap? We can!

    John 10:10 KJV
    The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

    Let us pray:
    Lord, let your abundant life overtake the power of death and destruction hovering over the whole nations of the earth this hour. Have mercy in Jesus name.

    This is the prayer for the hour, let’s keep praying it.
    May God bless you.

  • KINGDOM MINDEDNESS

    Listen to Human Voice

    Jesus Christ came to introduce the concept of the kingdom of God, a divine realm that surpasses any earthly kingdom or human understanding. His purpose was not centered around rules, regulations, creeds, or ideologies, but rather to offer us a glimpse of this extraordinary kingdom.

    When Jesus arrived, He demonstrated the life of God and revealed His approval through acts of healing, provision, love, and abundant living. His intention was for us to understand the nature of God, His fatherly attributes, and His deep concern and care for every aspect of our lives. Ultimately, Jesus wanted to reveal what the kingdom of God truly looks like.

    In Luke 11:20, Matthew 12:28, and Luke 10:9, Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God, emphasizing its presence and power.
    He taught His disciples to pray, “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” indicating that God’s desire is for the heavenly kingdom to manifest on earth. Heaven serves as the blueprint for the earthly realm, a model to guide our lives. Just as Moses was instructed to construct according to the heavenly pattern revealed to him on the mountain, we are called to build and establish God’s kingdom on earth.

    God does not descend personally to accomplish this task; rather, He entrusts us, humanity, to participate in establishing His kingdom on earth.

    Psalm 115:16 affirms that while the heavens belong to the Lord, the earth is given to the children of men. Jesus declared that the kingdom of God is within us, not something external to be sought out. Luke 17:21 states, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

    As children of God, the essence of the heavenly kingdom resides in our hearts and minds. Like Moses who was asked to build according to the pattern shown him, we seek to understand God’s heart through the indwelling Spirit, enabling us to comprehend the fullness of the heavenly Jerusalem and our role in establishing it on earth. We are called to be ambassadors, tasked with bringing heaven’s reality into the earthly realm.

    The eternal nature of God is already implanted in humanity; it is not a distant and unattainable place. The kingdom has already come within and among us through the presence of Christ Jesus. Our responsibility is to cultivate and spread its seed on the surface of the earth. The kingdom is like a seed that exists within us, waiting to be planted by each and every individual.

    What does heaven look like? It encompasses every aspect of beauty, nobility, royalty, splendor, and abundance beyond our imagination. As the hands, eyes, and bearers of God, we are instrumental in transforming the earth into a reflection of heaven’s glory. Through our actions and lives, God intends to restore the earth to its original heavenly form.

    Have you ever wondered who will be the ones to fulfill God’s will here on earth? Will it be angels, animals, or any other created beings? No, God has chosen mankind for this purpose. We are the ones who are called to seek the establishment of His kingdom in our lives and in the world we inhabit.

    In understanding our role, we must grasp the significance of being the “salt of the earth,” as mentioned in Scripture. It is important to note that God’s kingdom extends beyond the confines of a localized church or even the entirety of the church. His kingdom encompasses every aspect of human existence, and we are meant to influence and impact every facet of society.

    When Jesus instructed us to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, He was urging us to pursue a new kind of government, one that reflects the principles and values of His kingdom. This is not limited to our personal lives but should also be evident in our families and wherever we find ourselves.

    The attribute that defines this kingdom is righteousness and holiness, surpassing mere concerns for food, clothing, and material provision. While these needs are included, the kingdom of God encompasses a much broader scope.

    As stated in Romans 14:17, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

    It is important to recognize that God desires more than just a select few functioning in the fivefold ministry roles of teacher, apostle, pastor, evangelist, and prophet. The rest of the body of Christ also has a purpose to fulfill.

    Ephesians 4:11-13 explains that these ministry roles are given for the equipping of the saints and the edification of the body of Christ. Their purpose is to bring about unity in faith and knowledge of the Son of God, leading to maturity and the fullness of Christ’s stature.

    Eph 4:11-12
    11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
    12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
    13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

    The work of the ministry is bigger than denominationalism, the 5 fold office is to edify the rest for the work of the ministry; a ministry which is out there.

    The work of the ministry extends far beyond denominationalism or the confines of specific roles. The fivefold ministry is meant to empower the rest of the body to engage in the work of the ministry, which extends beyond the walls of the church. It is a ministry that reaches out to impact the world around us.

    In Matthew 5:14, Jesus declared, “You are the light of the world.” We are sent to make a difference, to bring light and transformation to the world. This responsibility rests upon all believers, not just a select few. We are all called to be ambassadors of God’s kingdom, agents of change in our spheres of influence.

    So, let us embrace our calling as the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Let us seek God’s kingdom and righteousness, living out the attributes of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
    Together, as the body of Christ, we can impact the world and fulfill God’s will here on earth.

    Ye are the light of the world

    We are sent to impact the world… all of us
