Active Faith: Will He Find Faith

Leadership Part 2

Sober Leadership (20230809)

The word persecution, especially in religious circles, rings of abuse, atrocities, neglect and segregation as a result of religious leanings and choices. In most of our minds, these are usually in the form of killings and tortures or something as grim as that. In modern society though, the persecution mostly experienced is subtle and covert. It challenges the truth you have encountered and will si...

As is normal in life, we all experience ups and downs in all aspects and spheres of living. The design and desire of God are that His sons coalesce as a community that is able to spur one another towards love and good works, works which are about completing the assignments we have each been appointed to do. Here comes the need for encouragement, both from self and from each other and this also doe...

Psalms 37:7, 46:10 and several other scriptures admonish the listener to being still. Our modern day understanding might cause us to consider this still posture as a passive occurrence. Today we consider the accurate expectation of God when He asks us to be still and what part we have to play in the Lord’s battle.

What is the purpose of prayer? Do we understand that the answer to prayer is The Holy Spirit and that the result and culmination of seeking God is God Himself? We also look into what it means to be Spirit led.

Titus 1: (AMPC) 15 To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled andcorrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled andpolluted. Eph 1: (AMPC) 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know andunderstand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His...

Rom 13: 1 (AMPC) Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment. 1 Cor 10 AMPC31 So then, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God. We discuss matters arising from the scriptures above.

Discussing Matters concerning God's view of inhertiance and courage in the Kingdom of God.

The writer of Hebrews encouraged their listeners, “Do not neglect the gathering of brethren”. This line has been used by many to commit to attendance of meetings where they have no brotherly connection at all let alone the in depth focus on seeking truth & revelation and walking in the light. God has made it clear in what manner He has chosen to be worshiped all through time and is interested...

The Kingdom of God has been described over and over as a body, a unified structure with one Head, Jesus The Christ and the rest of the kingdom as the members of a body.  Just as the physical body, each part of the body of Christ is fitted and equipped to a definite function, empowered to serve the body by accomplishing its function accurately and appropriately, non being independently more importa...

We know the popular adage when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and we possibly have taken it for granted without giving it much thought. However the Kingdom way is that we are not to conform to the way of the physical reality but operate from another plane of influence. Jesus said that His friends are to be known by others due to the compassion and affection they have for one another. And yet on clo...

Continuing from where we left off from part 2, we look into understanding what it means to be poor in spirit. As established in the readings of the beatitudes, the Kingdom of Heaven is for those who are poor in spirit. Our default understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven thus needs to be considered so that we can remain accurately facing Him to whom is our rewarder.

We continue to look at the heavenly treasures that Jesus spoke of and consider the prescriptive advice He gave on how to attain them. Stored resources are primarily heaped up for use to solve problems as it were, to improve circumstances and achieve goals of some kind. This consideration should also be applied to heavenly treasures that are accorded to a Kingdom citizen who operates as is required...

While at one of His early crusades, Jesus mentioned treasures. He acknowledged that treasures are for heaping and storing but warned His listeners to be careful about which kind of treasures to keep. A hint of some treasure was mentioned by Christ when He spoke to the rich young ruler and said, "if you are to be mature, sell all your goods, give to the power, and you'll have riches in hea...

Quotes: Jesus of Nazareth: If anyone says to you then, Behold, here is the Christ (the Messiah)! or, There He is!–do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will arise, and they will show great signs and wonders so as to deceive and lead astray, if possible, even the elect (God's chosen ones). See, I have warned you beforehand. So if they say to you, Behold, He is in the wildernes...

The stated intention of sending Christ into the world as documented in John is to make the world safe and sound. This alludes to a solution oriented Kingdom, one that seeks to restore the journey of humanity to a benevolent God’s vision of safety and soundness. The work however of bringing about this safety is bestowed on humanity, specifically, a mature son, as demonstrated by the departing state...

What does it really mean to be in unity? Is it a meeting? Lack of fights? Is unity simply harmony of ideas?  What is the purpose of this unity and how does it come together? Do we understand the unity we are to work towards as a pursuit to enter into the unity of Our Father and His Christ? How do we cooperate in God's building and be a contributor into the life of our brothers? Ponder with us.

Jesus made a very double edged statement seemingly in passing which many get excited about and at the same time do not realize how dismissively dangerous it is. “The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me” In turn, not hearing and recognizing His voice determines whose sheep one is not. Kindly note that in the mind of God, hearing means comple...

Purpose, Oh Purpose.  The ever burning desire in the hearts of many that seems to never be satiated sufficiently. All of humanity craves to find meaning in life. How then do we catch that flame that was lit up and made just for you?  How does the purpose conversation connect to God’s endgame, the accurate view of sin and the life of purpose we ought to live?

Follow this discussion on several issues concerning the Kingdom of God. The onus is upon us to rise up to new thing(s) God is doing for the coming season(s). For He also does ask “who can perceive it”. We need to elevate our thinking on matters of worship, fellowship, ministry, etc. Have a listen.

At the onset of the project of humanity, God set forth an agenda that would bring forth a human race that carried His image. The law pointed to Chrsit and the writers of the new testament then repeat, that the express image of God is only evident in Christ; a statement which He Himself used to challenge his disciple(s) when they asked to see the Father. The life of Christ is thus a map, a defined...

The place of money and material wealth in the life of a son of God needs to be accurately positioned for effective living. Paul pointed out that God is able to make all grace abound to sons so that they may be self-sufficient and have in abundance all that is needed for the purpose of good works.  These good works are the predetermined work set aside by God for everyone that loves Him and walks in...

We are increasingly living in an instant coffee and microwave dinner defined society. Our penchant for instant results, super fast turnaround stories and hyperspeed efficiency seems unquenchable. Much as we are to learn and adopt prompt obedience to God’s instructions to us, we need to appreciate that the conquering of your allotted space in God's promise isn't one of instant takeover and immediat...
