“In understanding the knowledge of God there are hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge!”
Are you one of those people who view Jesus as some divine luggage for display?
Are you one of those who buy pictures of jesus for your interior decor designs or even put him as your house wall hangings?
Did you buy your jesus from the antique store?
Are you one of those people who hang a portion of jesus in your car’s rear view mirror to act as a good charm angel for you while you’re driving?
If you are one of those people who bought your jesus from the antique store and you have him on your wall decor, you put him as your house hangings and your have a display of him in your counter stores, find it in your faith and remove Jesus from those counters.
Remove Jesus from your counters. Reject every false deities and all dead gods in your life.
False knowledge of the True Living God planges you into sinful association and leads your life to the wrong eternity. We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
Don’t be mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God is pride and God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
HERE’S THE LIVING TRUTH
Jesus Christ Is not some divine statue or divine luggage.
Jesus Christ Is not an old ancient and historical item perceived of beneficial monetary value.
Jesus Christ Is not a vintage collection item for artistic talent display.
Jesus Christ Is not believed to have only existed during a limited time era, or previous decades of generations of millions of times gone.
If you truly want to know the True God preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. Preach Jesus as the Christ, Son of God, Lord of all.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Always pay extra attention on how you dress up anytime you are about to leave the house. This is because when you decide to dress well before going out, that decision alone contributes greatly on how you will be received when you arrive at the place where you intended to go!
So, how can one ensure that they always dress well before stepping out? The answer is very simple. Just make sure that you are not dressing in a dark room! Make sure your room is not dark else you won’t be able to check out the condition of your garments. It doesn’t matter whether you arranged your garments the before night, when the time comes for you to dress up, there’s always need to check your garments again before dressing up. That final check up greatly contributes to your dressing up properly.
Every believer ought to get rid of the darkness in their spiritual walk with God. In order to receive the garments of righteousness, believers must abandon sin and embrace righteous living. Believers must pay attention and take good care of how they put on their ‘spiritual garment’ if we are to be conformed to the likeness of Christ.
The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Don’t be too knowing always, learn how to dress up well ❤️啕.
The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
It takes you little energy to ready your clothes for the next day by washing, pressing or folding them as compared to the much energy you’d apply while trying to explain yourself to others why the shirt is missing a button or why your blouse has a bad odour.
Always dress up well because any believer who has mastered the right way to dress up properly confidently agrees that it is God that girdeth them with strength, and maketh their way perfect ❤️啕.
When you master the art of dressing well and dressing properly, it will be easier for you to dress up for any occasion without any problems. Proper dressing hardly calls for expensive numerous outfits. It is a matter of understanding your personal body and identifying that which complements your body.
Always dress up well and in case you don’t know how to dress up properly God Is faithful enough to teach and guide you through the indwelling Presence of The Holy Spirit. Psalms 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye.
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. For the LORD taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
💓 Revêtez donc, comme les élus de Dieu, saints et bien-aimés, des entrailles de miséricorde, de bonté, d’humilité d’esprit, de douceur, de longanimité ; S’abstenir les uns les autres et se pardonner les uns les autres, si quelqu’un a une querelle contre quelqu’un : de même que Christ vous a pardonné, vous aussi faites de même. De même, vous les plus jeunes, soumettez-vous à l’aîné. Oui, soyez tous soumis les uns aux autres et revêtez-vous d’humilité, car Dieu résiste aux orgueilleux et fait grâce aux humbles. Humiliez-vous donc sous la main puissante de Dieu, afin qu’il vous élève en temps voulu. Que rien ne se fasse par dissension ou vaine gloire ; mais en l’humilité d’esprit que chacun s’estime mieux qu’eux-mêmes. Car l’Éternel prend plaisir à son peuple; Il embellira les humbles par le salut. S’il est possible, autant qu’il est en vous, vivez en paix avec tous les hommes.
🙏… whatever things you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever things you release on earth will have been released in heaven.-
😇Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.-
🙇I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
🙏In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
😇And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

GOD’S REST IS #AVAILABLE ! 🌺And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.
GOD’S REST IS #SACRED ! 🌺Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.
GOD’S REST BRINGS #SAFETY ! 🌺Then the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.
GOD’S REST BRINGS #PEACE ! 🌺Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around, that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells inside tent curtains.” Then Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
GOD’S REST BRINGS #GLORY ! 🌺If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
JESUS GIVES TRUE #REST ! 🌺Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
REST IS A #REWARD FOR THE SAINTS OF GOD! 🌺And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have ~no rest~ day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”
Have you ever been angry at some point in life because of something that happened maybe contrary to what you expected?
Did you decide bottle it up suppressing your feelings of anger or you just decided to burst out your anger feelings in rage right there on the spot!
How did you handle it!
Anger is always directed at something or at someone. Anger will be seen manifesting itself in many ways.
Anger can manifest itself almost immediately or manifest itself after a prolonged period of time but either way, anger is bad and harmful to good #health is best dealt with soonest possible.
Anger is considered to be a normal feeling for every person, and many have actually been #professionally advised against suppressing their feelings of anger.
Anger is arguably justified by some in that it is good to be angry at something that is outwardly considered to be bad or wrong or sinful to begin with.
However, prolonged anger creates hatred and fear among other negative energies that undermine healthy lifestyle.
Anger is consequential Anger is controlled. Anger is managed. Anger is solvable. Anger is avoidable. Anger is normal. Anger is contagious. Anger is a choice.
“Though Water by itself has no shape or color, or head or tail, water has a Source and “Destination.”
.
Whenever you want to successfully achieve a desired ambition or purposely attain certain goals in life or reach a certain level of accomplishment and finally bring out the reality or fruition of your dream, it is always advisable to PLAN ahead of it. Always plan properly and plan purposefully. -EDUCATION calls for planning -BUSINESSES call for planning -MINISTRY calls for planning -CAREER calls for planning -PARENTING calls for planning -MARRIAGE calls for planning -LIVING calls for planning
“Let your life goals have a clear plan, where you are coming from and where you are heading to, just like water pouring down from a cup/glass”
*Every good plan calls for prior ASSESSMENTS or EVALUATIONS, and correctly DETERMINING the outcome before embarking on to the stage of application, or the stage of execution, or the enactment stage, or the final implementation.
In the creation story, Genesis 1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.”
-God started creation from beginning, any good plan must have a beginning! -The Spirit of God was *hovering over the face of the waters ..” assessing the outcome, and seeing the end result before starting the creation.
All throughout the creation story, God determines the end result before setting everything in motion. “Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness..”
“..And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.”
“..And the earth brought forth grass….whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”..and so forth!
CREATION PLAN:
In God’s CREATION PLAN, we read of The Holy Spirit hovering over the waters maybe to assess and evaluate everything first. Then we read more of God determining the end result as GOOD after every stage of His Creation plan.
SALVATION PLAN:
God planned for a virgin birth of the coming Messiah and at the cross of our Savior, we read how Jesus Christ determined the final outcome of God’s Plan for SALVATION as finished plan meaning that God’s plan for SALVATION had finally undergone the necessary stages of achieving His divine plan of SALVATION. John 19:30.. So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.
ALL PLANS CALL FOR REALITY CHECK.
When you plan your life goals purposefully and set to the accomplishment of your life goals, those around you will be blessed and some will be able to find and plan their own life goals and live out their dreams. KLEENEX IS BEST USEFUL WHEN UNNECESSARY WATERS OR LIQUIDS ARE AROUND”
🔥 Having good great plans in your life simply means you were created with great plans initially as per GOD’S CREATION PLAN. This doesn’t mean you will not encounter obstacles, hurdles, or hindrances, obstructions, barriers, difficulties. All these come to push you towards achieving your goal not push you farther away from your goals. Plan ahead on how to overcome or jump over and get through every inevitable hurdle standing in the wake of realizing your dreams.
🔥 Having good and great plans in your life requires strength from God. Great capacities require great sustenance! The greatest and only sustenance available in life is Divine sustenance of God. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.” You need to allow a God to reign in your life and sustain you from evil plans.
🔥Having good and great plans in your life calls for wholly embracing God’s divine SALVATION PLAN meaning you need to receive and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior of your life. “..“Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said.., “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Shalom! Your are next to receive something amazing either coming your way, or coming back to you!!! 甆甆甆甆甆甆 Whatever demonic force that was holding your blessing back no longer has power over it.
See God moving on your behalf!
Don’t be discouraged by the emptiness or the lack of it!
“See God moving at the BEGINNING of it and at the END of it!”
See God moving on your behalf!
“Don’t be discouraged by the emptiness or the lack of it” (Ps. This is not an empty plate, there’s a knife placed on the plate…See beyond the obstacle)
It was beginning to pour heavily and crowds were already dispersing. Everyone was rushing to find any near shelter that was available to hide from the heavy rainfall!
Everyone except the bride and the groom! All the guests were in such a hurry to shelter from the rain or so it seemed. No one was remembering that despite the rains there was a wedding ceremony that was taking place!
The reaction of his guests however did not catch the newly weds by surprise. The estrangement that people were beginning to pour towards Levis was undeniably obvious. Just the other day he was a widower and it is the very same people who came to offer him their sincere condolences that mostly were in attendance at the wedding on that day and their reasons for coming were so obvious. Few were actually here to celebrate with Levis his sudden life commitment!
Majority of the people who were in attendance at the wedding had come to confirm the fast spreading rumours about his wife’s death. Apparently, it was flying around that his late wife’s death was not an accident as reported. Something crucial seemed to be missing to solve the puzzling death of Mackey.
Was it actually an accident as reported by Levis and his family or Mackey was indeed murdered? To begin with, Levis and Mackey were one happily married couple which could be best described as a match made in heaven..
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven…But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father Who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.” Lessons derived from Matthew 6:1-4 are quite many and diverse and one of those lessons is persistence in #faithfulness . Persistence by itself is not bad especially when used for the right reasons and right intention. In the Old Testament we read more of the kings who were persistent in wrong reasons and had wrong intention which ultimately led the nation of Israel to sin before their God. These kings were persistent in the sins of their fathers who had reigned before them. On the other hand when persistence is out for all the right reasons, breakthroughs are inevitable.
Reading Matthew 6:1-4, Jesus simply points out that we ought to remember the prior factor that God CREATED human beings with two hands for a reason. (Highly likely is that God’s desired will for every human being is to operate with both hands.)
…when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing…meaning
Your left hand is supposed to be busy doing something constructive while on the other hand
Your right hand is supposed to be busy doing something constructive as well.
“AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE PERSISTENCE COMES IN” @christinekimaita
Be persistent in faithfulness and persistent in your ACTS OF MERCY.
If both of your hands are busy doing something constructive, neither of your hands will have time to find out what the other hand is doing because both hands are working simultaneously towards accomplishment of the desired goals of the owner of these two hands.
The other thing to factor in is that JESUS is clear to point out that these charitable deeds are (meant) to be done before men…plural of man! When you set to fulfill the humble call of MERCIFUL ACTS to help out men (people) , you’ll realize that the calling is so overwhelming that you simply can’t afford to sit down and brag about your act or start blowing up your trumpet on how many friends you’ve helped #today how many strangers you’ll feed #tomorrow !
When you set out to do something to #help others especially when you’re not expecting them to pay back, or they are not in position to repay you, then once the first project on your left side is done, turn to your right side and find out who else needs your help and do the same.
God CREATED you with two hands (literally speaking ,) that when you are busy working with your one hand, you use the other (extra hand ) to reach out to your neighbor who is in #genuine need of help, or reach out to the needy in the #society and less fortunate with your other hand!
Meanwhile back to our narrative, people were yet to come to terms with the rude reality that Mackey was no more. Exactly a week after her burial here was her husband remarrying..! What really happened to poor Mackey is a whole chapter filled with encouragement and hope for the broken heartened, and a chapter that is to continue shortly…(stay blessed!)
“..YOUR FATHER WHO SEES IN SECRET..WILL REWARD YOU IN OPEN..”
Living in sin is simply allowing death to bite your life bit by bit. Don’t sin! Don’t hide sin! Don’t cover sin! Don’t entertain sin! Don’t glorify sin! Confess that sin. If we confess our sins He Is faithful and just enough to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
Sin brings a deadly bite to ones life… but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
