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...

Choose To Forgive

"And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:" Matt. 6:12;14. The Scripture admonish us to forgive not just debts, offenses, etc. In Isa. 43:25 God had to forgave us for His own sake, meaning each time we have unforgiveness in our heart, it limit the flow of the anointing which is the power of God at work in us. Many think they are perfect, but non is perfect and sinless before God, except by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, which is by grace. 1 John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." it does not matter the personality, not even Peter, James and John could claim righteousness without Jesus Christ and the blood. So we don't have examples to pattern after except Jesus Christ, He is the RIGHTEOUS (1John 2:1). We must be mindful, man will always want to make himself the pattern for others to follow after, like ...
