"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ." Ephesians 2:13 We were afar off because of sin(s): Sin disconnected us from the presence of God. But through the blood of Jesus Christ we that were disconnected from the Father God, are now made nigh (brought closer) to the Father.  It is the blood of Jesus Christ alone that is capable of washing away our sins. Thereby, bringing us into the presence of God like sin never existed in our life. Be cautious of this truth and apply the blood of Jesus for your cleansing.  Jesus is Lord! Mark Enahoro

Do you know that Jesus already paid the price for the sins of every person under heaven? Yes, He has! He die for the world, not just for some selected few, but the whole world, John 3:16. You might say, you mean to tell me He died for the worst gangster, murderer, prostitute as well, yes he did! He paid for their sins as well. Although it is free gift to all, but only those that accept this gift, gets to enjoy its benefits. You may ask again, how can one be close to God, when the urge to commit crime is always active in you? Jesus did not come to save the self  righteous, but sinners unto repentance. It's only when you're in Christ Jesus, listening to His Word, studying the Word of God, and in constant fellowship with Him, that the taste for sin will cool-off, its a gradual possess. Many think, you have to stop sinning first before you can come to Jesus, that will never happen. It's by coming to Jesus, that you receive the grace that empower you to live above sin, ...

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, IT WAS SO MUCH. ~ 2 Chronicles 20:25. As we step into the new year 2019, God has asked us to be very courageous and not be afraid nor be in dismay by reason of situations and circumstances we may have faced or will face, as He " God " has taken over the battle of those who have handled their battles to Him, and those that will yet hand over their battles over to Him, He will gladly take it over, and hand the victory over to the individual, 2 Chronicles 20:15,  "... Be not afraid nor be dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's." As we know the physical realm is influenced and controlled by the spiritual realm, so victories are w...

And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people. - 1 Samuel 9:2 Verse one of the chapter, describes Saul's father as  "... a mighty man of power"  meaning he is a person of influence. Poor people don't have influence, even their wisdom is despised,  Ecclesiastes 9:16 . Saul had servant, poor people don't, I mean they barely get by themselves, why would they need a servant?! What am I driving at?  From the above scripture the Bible outlines Saul's fixtures, but the question is, what personal image does he have of himself? It's important to understand the image we have of ourselves; positive or negative, and work on it. In  1 Samuel 9:21, And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the trib...

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. - Psalm 34:19.  Living a godly life style will always attract afflictions and persecutions in this world, because Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), the redeemed are not of this world (1John 4:4) , but of God and are ambassadors of Christ, here in this world. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Where? Here in this world. The godly will suffer rejection. But Jesus speaking in John 16:33 says, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." The main text says, "... the Lord delivereth him out of all afflictions" when we remove "all" out of anything, what we have left is nothing. So when afflictions, persecution, tribulation etc., is taken out, it means...

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. God loves everyone, that is the reason He gave Jesus, as the ransom for all. But, only those who acknowledge (receipt) His love, will be saved and are entitle to the blessing. It is amazing how people after accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour; embark on keeping the commandments with the energy of the flesh, then turnaround and think they are more righteous than God. Like the rich young ruler "I have kept all thy commandment from my youth". 1 John 4:19 says, "We love him, because he first loved us." We have to settle it right now, in our heart that God is faithful, righteous and He love us. This truth cannot be change. I understand many doubt God's love when they are faced with outright test and trials. The Bible told us that we will have them (persecution), in this world for choosing to live ...

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 The word of God is very clear on the above subject, yet many still look for prophets that will tell them the next phase of their life. Yes, prophetic ministry still exist today, mostly they speak to confirm what God has already revealed or shown an individual, either through the word (Holy Bible) or through anointed teaching in meetings; not targeted at the person, but within the individual, there is a strong signal that certain words is being spoken to you, it quicken your spirit and its spark something within, like you need to respond or act to those certain words because they are pointers or indicator. So when a prophet speaks without fore knowledge of your previous encounter(s), it " maybe " a confirmation that you need to r...

And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. - Exodus 4:19. It's impossible not to have enemies in this life, but God says inspite of your enemies you will rule and reign. That's why He prepares table for us in the presence of our enemies according to Psalm 23:5, meaning, "touch and you are gone too soon" . In areas where the enemies are too strong, He will clear them off our path to enable us reach our divine goals as in the above case. Also in Isaiah 43:4-5 he said, "Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. Fear not: for I am with thee:..." In our commitment to fulfill God's divine plan for our life, we become dangerous to any opposing force trying to stop us in anyway, spiritually or physically, as long as we remain within the given task. Deuteronomy 7:8 says, "...

And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: - Exodus 16:2. Today it's not hard to hear people speak derogatory about men of God across the nations of the world including in churches. It's a very sad development, although it has been right from the days of old. We know that when you speak against a messenger, you speak against the one that sent him naturally. Saul (before he become, Apostle Paul) in Acts 9:1, he was breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples and the church, in v. 4, a voice said to him, "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?". You notice he did not say, why are you persecuting my church, or my disciples? But, ME! Meaning, He took it personal. In Exodus 16:8 s ays, "And Moses said, This shall be, when the Lord shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the Lord heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against hi...

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 ...

... ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. - Philippians 4:16-17 I will use 1 Kings seventeenth chapter to illustrate the above scripture. From verse 8, God said to Elijah, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. Elijah probably had a thought, that maybe she is a wealthy person in that city. But, No! She was in a desperate situation with her son, that if nothing miraculous happens same day, it would probably be their end. So, God sent a prophet in need, as it were, to sustain a widow that is in need as well? This does not sound right the hearing of many or any, yet, God's ways is past finding out. Now, Elijah have to work in obedience to receive from the widow, and the widow have to work in faith and obedience to give from the very very little she has. Despirate situation ehm! What about "if" Elijah had refuse to receiv...

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: - Genesis 12:1 When God asked Abram (before his name became Abraham) to depart from his father's house, don’t think it was a easy decision, because it's not. Here we see a seventy-five years old man; take a decision to leave everything, including inheritance and relatives behind to no-certain destination; except, that God told him, He would show him as he go. Prior to this, there is no example that he can make reference to that have done same. If you don't think he was mocked, think again. But, in chapter thirteen verse two the scripture said, "And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold." God may not speak to you to depart as recorded in Genesis 12:1. Yet, He's speaks through the Bible, Pastor's and through other medium to make Jesus the Lord of your life. If you are open to the...

And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. - Genesis 48:21 Living a life of faith, would mean that one has made a quality decision to live trusting God, till transition. You say with absolute conviction that certain mountains would move, believing it would, no matter what. Mark 11:23. The only way I believe faith will not work for an individual, is when he decide to try faith out. Most time it is faith that ends up trying the individual, and obviously he/she will fail. In Hebrews 11:29 "By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying(means attempting, trying) to do were drowned." Here we see that Moses and the Israelite stepped out in faith to cross the Red sea on a dry land, by obedience. Whereas the Egyptians tried to do same, drowned. God is not on trial, we must make a quality decision to believe God, no matter what. The Bible says in Hebrews...

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. - 2 Corinthians 4:3‭-‬4 God never intended that people hear the good news about His Kingdom and not understand it, It's not His intention. The problem is that after birth people have been trained to use their five physical senses and ignore the guidance of the conscience. Satan, who is referred to as the god of this world has helped to champion this cause, also, putting vile programs on television, death filled words in music and some of the things we eat though tasty, but unhealthy. The five physical senses are windows through which data are collected, the mind process these data's into information, that we base our decisions on. The things we hear, feel, see, taste and smell; build images in our heart, that determine our response to...

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. [30] But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. - Matthew 14:29-30. Putting our eyes and ears on the Word of God is the only surety of overcoming life storms. When Jesus asked Peter to come, as long as Peter's eyes were fixed on Him(the word), he walked over life troubles(water). But, as soon as he was distracted and turn to the overwhelming troubles of life(boisterous wind) he began to sink. Do not take your eyes away from the word. Situations will put pressure on you, to draw you away from the word. If you adhere, you will sink. Mark 4:17 put it this way, ...persecution ariseth for the word's sake,... Why? I other for you to sink. Hold on to the word(Jesus), he's the only way of escape in this life. Be blessed! Enahoro Airononi

"The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord God hath spoken, who can but prophesy?" - Amos 3:8 The word of God is the Holy Bible inprint and Jesus Christ in person (John 1:1-5;14). As a believer, irrespective of your colour, tribe and nation, we see decadence all around, but we are not to go around declaring what we see, but what God's word say about the situation. In Genesis 1:2-3 it says "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." 2 Corinthians 5:20 call us Ambassadors. If you are an Ambassador; you don't say what you want to, but what whomever you're representing ask you to say. When you see things out of place and there is a conviction within you that these things ought not to be this way, What do you do? Go to the word to enquire what to say concerning the unwanted situation, (mov...

"And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice." - Mark 14:30 The thing about Peter is, he was a strong willed personality. Jesus was trying to let him(us) know that your strong will is not enough in the Kingdom, you need grace. Between Mark 14:66-71, Peter had already denied Jesus Christ thrice, both cursing and swearing he never knew him. Verse 72, "... And when he thought thereon, he wept." he wept bitterly because he never thought he would fail so miserably. After this incident Peter didn't see himself fit for the ministry anymore. (Remember in Luke 22:31-32, Jesus prayed for Peter; it says "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.") so he left, but that prayer preserved him. He wen...

"And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him." - Mark 6:2-3. Why were they offended at him? He had no form nor comeliness; that he should be desired. Isaiah 53:2, they knew his growing up days, they knew his family and many other things as you can imagine. You see, there are people assigned by God as a deliverer, but for familiarity, people don't pay attention to the gift of God in and on these individuals. Rather, people are expecting; Angels, Jesus or God Himself to manifest before they can and will believe. Well, that is not going to happen. You are either sensitive in the spirit and...

"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 ...

Father, I come before You with a thankful heart and say thank YOU for all you have done... "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord , all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations." - Psalm 100:1-5. #hedgersarmy, #prosperityreality, #enahoroairononi
