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.

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....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
