Greater Works Than These

John 14:12: - “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believe on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
For a long time in my Christian life I have felt Jesus meant in these statement that we would do greater miracles because we believe on him but as I walk with the Lord today by the unction of the Holy Spirit I realize that it may have a very different meaning to what I have always thought it to be, for instance what miraculous acts could we perform that the king of Glory did not already do … there is none I can think of. He raised the dead, healed the sick, made plenty the scarce, met the need of the people, fed them among many others, so what is left …
Well Jesus wasn’t an accountant so he didn’t save the accounts of a nation by such skills (this could be a great work), Jesus wasn’t a Programmer, dentist, Organizer and many other such duties the King of Glory never had the time to fill. Thus, He has put us in place to fill these spaces and bring the kingdom to stay in the fields.
What work is greatest in the kingdom I ask if not the saving of souls from destruction?
Greater works I tell you is any work the Father does Through you by you or in you.
Your brother in Christ

Finding a wife

Many times I see young men, young spiritual men saying that God will bring the a wife to them but they are not working actively in the will of God. they are not doing the father's business. how do they now expect God to go about searching for a wife for them when they are not doing the father's business.  Dear young man if you want to work according to the order of Adam then you must know that Adam was doing the father's business as was Isaac, you must actively work according to the father's will I don't just mean God Almighty as our father. Any father you have if you are focused on doing his will he will find you a wife one way or the other except he's not living according to the pattern of fatherhood. A father finds you a wife, if you don't have a father then ask the Father but know dear young man that you find the best wife when you let the father find you a wife. amen.

Studying Rightly

Hello guys, 2Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Did you know that for years I have read this chapter and only related it to spiritual things?  I took it to mean that by studying God's word and the life of heroes of faith I do prove my love for God, and I was right.  It's just that this passage meant a lot more than just studying Spiritual stuff, the truth is that it applies to every part of our lives, spiritual, intellectual, academic, marital, psychological, and even physical aspects.  Putting it simply if people see that you have more knowledge or wisdom on all subject matters they respect you and admire you for it and they are already respecting and admiring God your maker indirectly.  They will try to find the source of your unique depth of knowledge, wisdom, charisma or whatever it is they find attractive about you at that point you can easily tell them it's all...

Godliness with Contentment

Godliness: is Respect, Reverence, Piety towards God, Living a holy life. Contentment:   is a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed for basic functionality, where the person is able to provide for himself at least all the basic necessities of life, where the person has sufficient for his needs (and possibly wants). In the words of Dan Lok, it’s the state of F U Money. The person is in all human description Self Sufficient not necessarily needing human help to live & survive. The person is self-sufficient and man enough. Let’s be truthful it sucks when you are so spiritual even the devil knows your name but you need to beg your friends to eat. Your Godliness rapidly becomes a Shameful thing and before long you will definitely abandon the Godliness to find food. God never planned it like that, He as a matter of Truth wishes to see you prosper on both life and Godliness levels. For many years I actually thought contentment is simply accepting whatev...
