... if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; IF SO BE THAT WE SUFFER WITH HIM, THAT WE MAY BE ALSO GLORIFIED TOGETHER. - Romans 8:17. There are numerous places in the Bible, where the scriptures said; they (the disciples) rejoiced in their affliction or tribulation, they also counted it worthy to have suffered for Jesus's sake. Why where they rejoicing? A clear understanding from the above text will enable us maximize the benefit of this kingdom mystery. First, 1 Peter 4:15, enlightened us about things not to suffer for, it says, "But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters." And verse 16 says, rather count it joy when you suffer for this, "Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf." why? That the sufferers may be glorified together with Christ Jesus! Hallelujah!! What kind of suffering i...

"Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name." Acts 4:16-17 What seem to be the problem with these leaders? They agreed that a notable miracle had been done without diabolical means, no extortion, tricks nor the likes. Yet they want to stop them from continuing, from setting the captives free, and healing the oppressed?! It simply means they prefer seeing people in their despondent state without any empathy, or plans to help out. Isn't it strange, that this is the kind of mind set those leaders have toward the people they lead? Even today, it's no better, it is rather worse. Jesus is Lord! Mark E. Airononi #hedgersarmy

Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake. Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. - John 13:37-38 Here we saw through the pages of scriptures, Jesus gave Peter a word that is to come, uniquely to him alone. How do I mean? In John 18:27, when the cock crewed many people around heard the cock crew, but it meant nothing to them outside generally speaking, time/clock related. But to Peter, it was a great deal, because it is a confirmation that he had just denied ever knowing his master, this was a devastating moment for him. Although nothing happened physically to the knowledge of everyone around him, but to him, he just got a confirmation of what Jesus told him earlier, and it wasn't a nice moment for him at all. Hebrews 1:1-2 says,  "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the ...

And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26 High praises can turn any situation around for testimony. It's so true, but a better understanding of how to generate praise, will help us derive more from this supernatural kingdom secret for divine intervention at all time. There is a secret to the source of Joy, that the foremost Apostles exhibited: In Acts 5:41 the scripture says,  "And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name." they were JOYFUL that they had SUFFERED or are SUFFERING SHAME not because to stole or did something unlawful, rather because they PREACHED CHRIST JESUS glorified, 1 Peter 4:14-16. Remembering the promises from scriptures, in sp...
