Glorified Together



... 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 is this passage even talking about? REJECTION! 
When you narrow everything down, the summary is REJECTION.
John 1:11 speaking about Jesus, said; "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." the world will only persecute you, when you're not one of them.

Jesus speaking to his disciples said,
"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also." John 15:20.

So, if you are afraid of persecution, the question is, where do you belong? earth is a passage, and persecutions(you get persecuted for living right) is part of the prerequisite to be joint-heirs with Jesus. It's not that God want you to suffer, but once you make Jesus your Lord, the world kick vehemently against you. They're being controlled and influenced by the god of the world(the devil) 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Consider and meditate on the word of God, and make your decision. God bless you!

Jesus is Lord!

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...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
