Greater Than

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
- Genesis 12:2

This blessing is to Abraham and his seed. But, in Galatians 3:13-14, it says, Christ had redeemed us from the curse of the law, and have connected us(spiritual Jews) through faith, to the blessing of Abraham. Romans 4:16,
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Today, we see the physical Jews (Abraham descendants) commanding exploits in their respective fields. Everyone that see them acknowledge them as the seed that God has blessed, because of His covenant with Abraham.
Thereby, giving Him the glory.

Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:11 said,
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.  
The Jews still work under the law. Yet, they command exploits. The spiritual Jews under grace, though large in number but, little exploits, why?
There are encounters of some having began in the faith, made some progress and command some wealth, then they disassociate themselves from the faith, by so doing attributes the glory of God to something else. This has happened over and over again. Many wonder if God's word is true, the word is true,  and it cannot fail.
We have seen some examples of men like, John Washington Carver, J. C. Penny, John D. Rockefeller, R. G. LeTourneau etc. I can't say, if the generation of these individuals followed after them. But, these men proved (Matthew 11:11) that the least in the Kingdom is greater, and they were not ashamed to be identified with God, the King of Glory, as their Blesser.

I know, if anyone will make the same commitment, and identify with Him, the same stand the chance as these men.

God is not a respecter of persons, Acts 10:34.

In our greatness, He is glorify.

Stay blessed.

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

In the world(unsaved) system, we work harder…and harder…and still fall behind. If we do find a way to get ahead, we pay a high price for it by sacrificing time in God’s WORD, our family relationships or our health. While the figures in our bankbooks tell us we’re getting richer, in reality we’re becoming poorer. That’s the way the world’s economic system works. One way or another, there’s always sorrow with it because it’s under the curse.  As believers, however, we are no longer under that curse! Jesus has redeemed us from it. We don’t have to earn a living with our sweat and toil. THE BLESSING makes us rich. Unlike the world, we aren’t BLESSED because we’re rich, we are rich because we’re BLESSED!. (kcm)#prosperityreality

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
