Priest Place


God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;Hebrews 1:1-2

It is true that we all have access to the Father by his Spirit dwelling in us (born again believers), but some have special relationship with God more than others, because of deeper and constant fellowship with him always. It is in this fellowship, we'd develop the Fruits of the Spirit in us(received at new birth), otherwise the fruits once starved, will never really develop to maturity. If it's not developed, then one will be lagging behind in so many ways.

Luke 13:6-9 says, 
"He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [7] Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? [8] And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: [9] And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down."

There are talents/gifts, God has given us, He expects us to engage those talents, and make profits with it or them. He expects us to produce fruits.
What happened, when we choose to remain baby Christian all our life (equivalent to, hiding your talent)? You become unproductive, subsequently a failure.
Many mistakes, riches for success. Riches can be part of success, but not, in its entirety.
Discovering your purpose and working in it, should be one's primary objective. Riches and others are additions.
From Luke 13:8 above, we saw the dresser (PRIEST, in a figure), pleading on behalf of the fig tree (FLOCKS, also in a figure) for more time. So the priest pray some more, and fast some more, putting in extra hours to see the fork become productive. So they can discover their place on time and be productive, before time run out on them. Because, if they don't become fruitful, they will surely be cut short,(Luke 13:1-5).

Brethren, you will reckon that the task of the dresser is important. I have heard people talk down on preachers, like they're nothing,(2 Corinthians 4:4). I know there are many fakes, even the Bible warned us about it. But it does not mean, all are fake. Without the few genuine ones on the altar praying, fasting and interceding, the whole world will be in a mess. The world is in a bit of mess right now, and people are complaining and confused already. imagine what it will be like, when there is absolutely non interceding any more; it will be disastrous.
That you have access to God, does not make the place of the priest void. Someone, at some point, thought you how to hear from God; don’t try to rob others from the privilege for the to develop to maturity.
We are expected, to all come to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, UNTO THE MEASURE OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST, Ephesians 4:13. 
God bless and lift you, in Jesus name!

Happy New Month, Jesus is Lord!

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....

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
