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....

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
