An inheritance quickly gained will not be blessed at the end Proverbs 20:21 NIV. We are in an
impatient generation; a generation that is always looking for express that is a shortcut to
receiving what we want. We look for the quickest ways to achieve everything in life but we fail
to understand that every shortcut is man-made and everything that is created by man has side
effects. For example, the most likeable food today are fast foods of which are unhealthy and
only shortens our lifespan. Impatience is a sure way to destruction whereas patience is a sure
way to blessing. Premature blessings will only put you in bondage; you may choose to be
blessed prematurely but your blessing will be surrounded by complications due to your spiritual
immaturity.Patience is a necessity for those who wish to see God; for the bible says Look, I
come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake Revelation 16:15 NIV. If you wish to be
an example of faith, one that your descendants shall follow, you must be patient with God.
Forbearance, patience and perseverance are a must because you cannot set a deadline for
God as He has His own time. Therefore, learn to be patient

THE TRUE GOSPEL

SE P T EM B ER 28 , 2 01 6 B Y P R OP HE T CE DR IC M INIST R IE S ADM IN 0

Today we are struggling to distinguish between the Gospel of Christ and the gospel of man.
There are so many gospels being preached hence there is a lot of confusion in the world of
Christianity. People do not know which message to believe and which gospel is true; yet the
bible says, You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free [John 8:32]
What is the truth then? The truth is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and whoever receives it is
bound to be liberated because by its very nature, it sets free. This true gospel is food to the
hungry, water to the thirsty, liberty to those in bondage and salvation to the lost.
Now as Jesus passed by He saw a man who was blind from birth and his disciples asked him
saying, Rabbi who sinned, this man or his parents that he was born blind? Jesus answered,
neither this man nor his parents sinned but that the works of God maybe revealed in him. I
must work the works of him who sent me while it is day, the night is coming when no one can
work. As long as I am in the world I am the light of the world .When he had said these things
he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, he anointed the eyes of the blind man
with clay and He said to him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam which is translated Sent. So he
went and washed, and came back seeing. Therefore the neighbours and those who previously
had seen him that he was blind said, is not this he who sat and begged? Some said this is he
and others said, he is like him but he said I am he. Therefore they said to him, how were your
eyes opened? He answered and said, a man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes
and said to me go to the pool of Siloam and wash so I went and washed and I received sight.
Then they said to him, where is he? He said, I do not know. Therefore some of the Pharisees
said, this man is not from God because he does not keep the Sabbath, others said, how can a
man who is a sinner do such things(John 9:1-18)

From the scripture above; the Pharisees questioned the Gospel of Jesus and His calling. They
did so because He healed the blind man on the Sabbath and according to their tradition; Jesus
was not supposed to heal on that day. They did not want people to follow and believe the
Gospel of Christ hence they condemned His gospel and approved their own. It was revealed to
Jesus that He should heal although it was on a Sabbath day. Jesus was following the
revelation of God and not the tradition of man. Today, every man claims the genuineness of his
calling and condemns the calling of other men and this is the very reason why there is so much
confusion in the world of Christianity.
A servant of God cannot be seen by their outward appearance but it is through their heart and
works that he is known. This is because when we merely consider the outward appearance, we
are more likely to be deceived. But the LORD said to Samuel, Do not consider his appearance
or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.(1 Samuel 16:7). We
can clearly see from the above mentioned scripture that when God sent His Prophet to anoint
the king, He warned him not to be deceived by the outward qualities. Therefore, the best way
to know who is of God is through the heart as it clearly mirrors who we are.
If Jesus was not true, He could not have opened the eyes of the blind man because the
scripture says that it is only the truth that liberates. This means that a false gospel cannot
achieve such marvellous works but it is only possible through the true gospel. Some of the
Pharisees knew that only the truth could perform such a miracle. That is why one of them said,
if you people are so righteous but you have never opened the eyes of the blind, how then can
a sinner do what you did not do. Now, just as the Pharisees were confused, today we are also
in a confused world; where the truth is considered false and falsehood true. Where light is
considered as darkness and darkness considered as light. We are in a world where satan is
regarded as an angel of light because the scripture says for such people are false apostles,
deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.And no wonder, for Satan himself
masquerades as an angel of light.It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as
servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve. (2 Corinthians 11:1315)
Remember that at one occasion, the Pharisees saw Jesus casting out demons and they said
that He does so through Beelzebub, the chief demon. Jesus replied them by saying, Every
kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself
will not stand.If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his
kingdom stand?And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them
out? So then, they will be your judges.But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons,
then the kingdom of God has come upon you.(Matthew 12:25-28).
When the Pharisees called back the man in question, asking him to glorify God by stating that
Jesus was a sinner, the man stood firm on the works of Jesus and said,Whether he is a sinner
or not I do not know. One thing I know, though I was blind, now I see. If this man were not
from God, he would do nothing. Remember, a servant of God can be seen through their heart
and works, just as the man who was blind stood without wavering on the works of the Lord.
Liberty refers to every good thing which comes from the Lord. The evidence that you have
received the true Gospel is liberty.So then after the Lord has spoken to them he was received
up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God and they went out and preached
everywhere.The Lord working with them and confirming the word they preached, the Lord
confirmed it with accompanying signs [Mark16:19]
When genuine servants of Christ say be healed the Lord accompanies their words with
healing, because even though He is not present in body, He is present in Spirit. When they say

let there be light the Lord brings light as a sign that He sent them. As the Father has sent me,
I am sending you. (John 20:21). For instance, this could be likened to a First class Professor
who teaches theory (word) and from there he takes his students to the laboratory for a practical
lesson (deed) validating what he was teaching. He does this so that those who didnt get him
well in class may understand.The best and most effective way to witness for Jesus Christ
through the Gospel is by word and by deed. That is; the Word of God that is being preached
should be accompanied by signs. A man can talk and say I am God sent but only God shall do
the signs and wonders.
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. (1 John
3:18)

Today, there are many people who follow Christ only because they need to get their needs met,
thus they come to God only seeking tangible blessings. That is why after receiving such
blessings they cease to pray and fast, and some even totally stop relating with God. They fail
to realise that tangible blessings like wealth, good health, deliverance, and or marriage are not
a guarantee that one has found God. These blessings do not guarantee satisfaction in life. The
real everlasting satisfaction in life comes when man experience God. It is for this reason that
the blessing of God should go beyond the tangibles and lead to the salvation of your soul.
The bible says, Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When
Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He
said to him, Do you want to be made well? The sick man answered Him, Sir, I have no man
to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down
before me. Jesus said to him, Rise, take up your bed and walk. And immediately the man
was made well, took up his bed, and walked. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and
said to him, See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon
you, [John 5 -5-9, 14]
The man in the scripture was physically healed but he understood that receiving the blessing of
good health was not enough and did not guarantee the salvation of his soul. He understood
that it was a means of raising an awareness that God is alive and He cares about him. The
blessing was only a bridge that linked him with his salvation. After he was healed, he went to
the temple where he received help to maintain that salvation. This is an example that
Christians must strive to emulate. It is only Gods Word that can help you maintain your
salvation. God is calling you to look beyond what you are looking for, that is, look beyond
Gods blessing if you desire to have a long lasting relationship with Him.
Our Lord Jesus Christ asked, What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit
their soul? [Mark 8:36]. (msg:What good would it do to get everything you want and lose
you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?) Likewise, what good is it for
you to gain deliverance, healing, breakthrough, money, good health and yet lose your own
salvation? Jesus said, it is not good at all, because if you gain the whole world and yet forfeit

your own soul everything you have under the sun amounts to nothing. If you receive Gods
blessings but lose your salvation, you are like a person who studied at the university for many
years to attain a degree and then die before tasting the benefits of his education. In the grave
there is no toiling, there is no doctor or engineer, so everything you got through the skill will
amount to nothing. The bible says, All these people were still living by faith when they died.
They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a
distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such
things show that they are looking for a country of their own. Instead, they were longing for a
better countrya heavenly one, Hebrews 11:13-16. The architect of such a city is God
Himself, so He has already laid the foundation of heaven.
Jesus Christ has healing, deliverance and blessing readily available for you. However, this is
not all that God wants to offer you; it is only a means of drawing you closer to Him so that He
may save you. If you are only seeking God for the things under the sun, sooner or later you will
fail the things beyond the sun. Many at times, when Christians are challenged, they complain,
murmur, blame God and even question His existence. If you happen to leave this world while
still complaining and questioning His existence then you would have failed your test.
Many people in the church today are short sighted. They tend to forget the purpose of their
coming to Christ; they cannot see beyond the blessings they receive or the trials they
experience. Everyone who is short sighted is bound to misbehave during trials or after
receiving a blessing. If you know that your relationship with God is not temporary, people may
ridicule you regarding your situation but you will just ignore them and continue to smile
because you know what is in Gods heart. Your trials will not worry you because you are
looking beyond what they are looking at. Each and every day as you live your life, know that
you are called to look beyond what is seen and tangible. Life under the sun is all in vain if it
does not lead to the salvation of your soul.

The devil has successfully managed to sell a suggestion to many believers and today they are
caught up in this misconception; that once delivered always delivered, once blessed always
blessed, and once saved always saved. However, this is not entirely true.
The bible says, Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do
not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage [Galatians 5:1 NKJV].From this scripture, we
learn that we can be liberated by Jesus Christ but if we are not alert, we are likely to find
ourselves in bondage again. For Apostle Paul to say, Stand firm so that you may not find
yourselves in slavery again it shows that there were people who received liberty through
Christ but because they were not conscious of their liberty, they eventually allowed the devil to
take them back into captivity. The same holds true today.
When Jesus sets you free, He does not want you to get entangled into slavery again at any
point in life but that you should live your life freely. Christs freedom should be permanent in
your life. Gods ultimate desire for you as His child is that you should live in freedom, because
life with Christ is bondage- free. That is, no one can be in Christ and continue to be held
hostage by satan.

As Christians, we should understand that it is Jesuss duty to liberate us; to heal, deliver, bless
and save our souls. However, it is our role to maintain our freedom by staying rooted and built
up in His Word. When you are liberated, celebrate your liberty with the consciousness that
there is still a long way to go. Satan will not sit back and watch you celebrate your freedom that
is he will not easily accept defeat. Hence the bible says When an impure spirit comes out of a
person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, I will return
to the house I left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in
order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in
and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. (Matthew 12: 4345). Therefore, when you are liberated, stand firm and be conscious that satan is still looking
for a loophole to sneak into your life.
The bible says satan is like a lion roaring around, looking for someone to devour [2 Peter
5:8.] You have to understand that you overcame satan because of Someone much smarter,
stronger, more reliable and dependable; that is, Jesus Christ. So as long as you are with Him,
satan has no chance nor power over you but if you turn your back on Jesus Christ, he will grab
you again because you will have no strength to stand against him. It is only through the name
JESUS that we conquer the devil hence the Bible in Philippians 2 says, It is a name above
every name and at that name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus
is Lord. Therefore, we can only triumph over the devil if we hold onto Jesus Christ. In Him, our
blessing is secured.
Most people do not understand what freedom in Christ means. Many consider their outward
circumstances to determine whether they are free or not and some go to the extent of
measuring their deliverance by the response of their neighbours. (For example, when you get
to your workplace you will begin to observe the reaction of your co-workers and believe that if
your boss welcomes you with a smile, then you are getting there, but if the opposite happens
then that becomes the very reason to doubt Gods goodness.) Understand that your freedom
takes place in the inside first and then on the outside; not vice-versa. This can be likened to a
sick person who begins medication; before their body reflects recovery, healing begins on the
inside. Even spiritually, Jesus sets your spirit man free (the inside) first then that freedom will
transcend to the physical (the outside).
Satan has realised that many Christians are limited to the natural; they judge their lives by
what they see on the outside. Therefore, he uses that as a strategy to cause them to lose their
blessing. After receiving the blessing of God, satan will challenge you by touching your outside
(job, marriage, business, and health etc). When this happens and you are not vigilant, satan
may end up defocusing you; causing you to doubt the goodness of God. Remember, even
when satan shakes you on the outside, hold onto the promise of God and stand firm. No matter
what your circumstances are, do not listen or concentrate on the deception of the devil but
completely focus on what you believe by confessing your faith.
Maintain your liberty by sticking close to Jesus Christ. Remember, you are a product of Gods
Word. You are what the Bible says you are, you have what the Bible says you have and you
can do what the Bible says you can do. Therefore, when it comes to the promise of God for
your life, do not be open to any negotiations.

PRIORITISE GOD
AU GU ST 24 , 2 01 6 B Y P R OP HE T CE DR IC M INIST R IE S ADM IN 0

Many Christians today desire to be successful; they fast and pray more but get nothing in
return. This is because they have set themselves ahead of Gods Kingdom; they desire
blessing for their honour and not for Gods honour. It is Gods desire to release His blessing
upon His people but first they need to stop being self-centric; Instead of praying, fasting and
thinking more about yourself you need to do so for the kingdom of God.
Take an example of the barren Hannah in 1 Samuel 1 who for so many years became the
laughing stock of Peninnah, who bore ten children. Year after year Hannah would plead with
God for a child so that her rival may stop provoking her but during those years her womb
remained shut. It was up until she forgot about her present circumstances and made a
vow, saying, Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servants misery and remember me,
and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of
his life. [1 Samuel 1:11]. When Hannah remembered God, God also remembered her and
blessed her with a child she had been longing for. Similarly God is awaiting a time when
Christians will remember Him; when they will use every blessing they receive to honour Him
and advance His kingdom. When you prioritise God He will honour you and make you His
priority as He says in 1 Samuel 2:30 Those who honour me I will honour.
Like Hannah many Christians find themselves limited; they fail to receive because of their
wrong motives behind prayer and even if they receive the blessing they do not use it to serve
God; they forget and abandon Him. However as a Christian God expects you to serve Him with
whatever you receive from Him. If He gives you good health, strength or any other blessing
then you need to use it to serve Him as failure to do so shall leave you forever indebted to
Him.
Take the story of the centurion in Luke 7 who prioritised God by building the synagogue for
Gods glory and not for his own. Whatever he offered to God had no strings attached that is he
did not build the synagogue in order for him to be famous and recognised in the church but for
the very purpose God wanted the church to exist. That is why when he was in need God made
him a priority, as a result of what he had done for Him. When his servant fell sick, Jesus was
willing to put everything on hold and go to His house. Likewise if we desire for Christ to step
into the scene when we are in need then we ought to set Him forth and make Him our priority.
This is your time as a Christian to make God special in your life so that you may be special in
His sight. Seek first and advance the kingdom of God and all shall be added unto you.

It was Jesus culture to maintain a good confession even when the situation seemed to
contradict what He believed. When we examine all the words spoken by our master Jesus
Christ from Matthew to Revelation we learn that He never uttered any negative word even
when He encountered seemingly impossible situations. He confessed good when situations
favoured him and He maintained the same position by confessing good amidst challenges.
Christ Jesus expects believers to develop a similar culture, which is to maintain a good
confession of faith at all times.
It is quite prevalent among believers to only confess good when they see good. However it
does not take faith to confess good in the presence of good; the Bible says Now faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,[Hebrews 11:1]. Even when He

did not see a way out, Jesus Christ confessed that there was a way out and this is why He
never failed. He knew nothing as an impossible case. He always paved a way for victory,
miracles and breakthrough with His good confession of faith. The bible says, As Pharaoh
approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They
were terrified and cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses, Was it because there were no
graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing
us out of Egypt? Didnt we say to you in Egypt, Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians? It
would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert! Moses
answered the people Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD
will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The LORD will
fight for you; you need only to be still. [Exodus 14:10-14]
Just like the Israelites, we are in a journey of no return, the Lord has delivered us and we
cannot return to the world of sin. After the Israelites suffered for over 400 years in Egypt, God
lifted them out of Egypt and led them to the Promised Land through the faculties of Moses. As
soon as they left Egypt the bible says Pharaoh realised that he made a mistake by letting them
go and went after them. When the children of Israel saw Pharaoh with his chariots and army
coming they began to cry and complain to Moses and even questioned God. This is a strategy
that the devil still uses even today! When Christians are challenged satan is always quick to
question the existence of their God and even suggest that they should return to sin. It is critical
for Christians to realise that if the Israelites had decided to go back to Egypt as a result of fear
this would have been their biggest mistake; Pharaoh would have killed them because he now
knew what they were capable of. Similarly the devil knows that believers are powerful and that
for as long as they are walking with God they are able to torment him; if they return to sin the
devil would attack them with all his might.
The bible says even when the Israelites complained, Moses maintained a good confession of
faith; he said, stand firm and you will see the deliverance God will bring you today, the
Egyptians you see today you will never see again the Lord will fight for you, you need only to
stand still. Moses confessed deliverance before the deliverance happened. He paved a way
for the miracle through his good confession of faith. God is looking for people who will maintain
a good confession of faith in the midst of challenges; those who will bless the name of the Lord
instead of complaining.
Christians who are not yet married should not say that they are single, but rather confess that
they are waiting for their spouse; those without jobs should refuse to confess unemployment
but rather say that they are only on a short vacation. Christians should maintain a good
confession of faith even when situations seem to contradict what they believe. If you study the
word of God you will realise that all the patriarchs of faith had a similar culture, they maintained
a good confession of faith because faith can never be separated from confession.
Confession expresses faith; if you believe then you will express your belief through a good
confession and if you are unbelieving you will express your unbelief through a bad confession
as well.

One of the most key components in our walk of faith is our confession; what we say on regular
basis. Our Lord Jesus Christ had a culture of maintaining a good confession of faith even when

situations or circumstances seemed to contradict what He believed. He understood that a good

confession of faith paves a way where there seems to be no way. When He was on the cross,
in His last minute before leaving this world Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they do not
know what they are doing, [Luke 23:34]. His last sayings when He was on the cross were, It
is finished, declaring that our pain or sins were wiped away completely and forever. By this
Jesus Christ was setting an example and teaching Christians that even in the middle of a crisis
or challenges they should maintain their good confession of faith. This is an example which
Christs followers should strive to mirror.
There are many lessons that can be found in the Scriptures about the importance and power of
maintaining a good confession of faith. One such was when Jesus Christ restored the daughter
of Jairus to life. When Jesus Christ arrived at Jairus house there was enough evidence that
the girl was dead. He asked them, why all this commotion and wailing, they said the little girl
is dead. Jesus Christ did not at any point confess death; this is because He was expecting life.
He astonished many with His good confession of faith, He said, She is not dead but she is
sleeping. Moreover, He did not say little girl resurrect, rather He said, Talithakoum! (Which
means Little girl, I say to you, get up!) [Mark 5:38-42].
Jesus Christ maintained a good confession of faith throughout. Another powerful example from
the scriptures is in [Genesis 22:6-8]. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
When they were very close to the mountain, Isaac enquired as to where they would get the
lamb for the burnt offering and as a man of faith Abraham answered, God himself will provide
the lamb for the burnt offering, my son. This was indeed a good confession of faith. I have
told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world. [John16:33]. A good confession of faith is the truth
of God against which the gates of hell cannot prevail. However, many Christians tend lose it at
their last minute; when in agony they begin to question the existence of God in their lives.
When pressure from challenges they encounter in life mounts on them they begin to change
their confession, hence abort their miracle. As believers we show faith and what we are made
of when situations contradict what we believe. When unbelievers give up and lose hope it is a
time where we people of faith should hold on by maintaining a good confession of faith. One
can never rise beyond their confession nor go beyond their confession but shall be what they
confess. When Christians encounter seemingly impossible situations they should continue to
bless God even when it seems dark; by doing so they pave a way for a miracle. We should not
only confess good when circumstances are favourable. Faith is made complete by what we
say.
As a Christian you should believe with your heart and speak with your mouth. The bible
teaches us that when we make a heart good, its confession will be good and similarly when we
make a heart bad its confession will be bad; for a heart is recognised by its confession. Make
a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is
recognised by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For
the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. A good man brings good things out of the good
stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. But I tell
you that everyone will have to give account on the Day of Judgment for every empty word they
have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be
condemned. [Matthew 12:33-37]
Therefore, for one to maintain a good confession of faith, it must spring from the heart. Christs
followers should bear in mind that on the Day of Judgment, everyone will have to give account
for every empty word or negative confession they have spoken and by their words they will be
acquitted or condemned. The bible in Romans 10:17 says, So then faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God. If one treasures Gods word in their heart, they will be able to
maintain a good confession of faith and good shall overflow.

Many are faithful in prayer, frequenting the church and fasting but do not see results or
answers to their prayers. The missing piece in the puzzle is forgiveness. Our services to God
without forgiveness are valueless because Jesus Christ does not recognise a prayer, fasting,
worship or an offering that springs from a heart that does not forgive or bear grudges. Grudges
in our hearts are barriers for our prayer and worship to reach God. They stand between us and
God as a wall of impediment. By not forgiving our offenders, we make it impossible for God to
forgive and bless us. For the bible says, And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven
our debtors. Matthew 6: 12 NIV. When you fail to forgive your offender you are equally failing
to forgive yourself

Today many Christians are struggling to distinguish between the true Gospel of Christ and the
gospel of man. There are many doctrines being preached and therefore causing confusion in
Christianity; many do not know which Gospel to listen to; which story to believe. We are in a
world of confusion, where the truth is considered false and vice versa, a world where light is
considered darkness and darkness for light. The Bible says You shall know the truth and the
truth shall set you free (John 8:32) NIV From this scripture we understand that the truth (the
gospel of Christ) sets free so therefore when this gospel is introduced liberty is as sure as the
rising of the sun.
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus Christ performed the miracle on the Sabbath they
questioned His gospel and calling. Some of them said that Jesus is not from God but others
questioned how a sinner could do such marvelous work (John 9:1-19) NIV. The Pharisees
were teachers of the law and Jesus as well was a teacher, but they wanted their gospel to be
believed and that of Jesus to be condemned. This war still stands today; in a world where
every preacher believes that the gospel they preach is the only one genuine and the rest false,
it is always a struggle to distinguish between the true gospel and the gospel of man. However
we must understand that a true servant of God cannot be judged by the exterior (material) they
can be seen through their hearts and their works.
The best and very effective way to witness for Christ through the gospel is by word and deed. If
we merely consider the outside when looking for servants of God we are bound to misjudge.
Those who preach the true gospel brings about liberty because God accompanies their words
with works. If you receive the gospel but remain in bondage then the gospel you received is
questionable because Gods word is food to the hungry, water to the thirsty good health to the
sick and liberty to those in bondage and salvation to the lost. Then Jesus declared, I am the
bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will
never be thirsty (John 6:35) NIV. The evidence that you have received the gospel of Christ is
liberty from everything that puts you in bondage.

Do not mirror your life after someone elses testimony; if you begin to imitate others you will
overshadow your unique qualities and are more likely not to reach your destiny. Appreciate that
you are unique and dont tarnish your destiny by trying to imitate somebody else. Always make
room for improvement that is be keen to learn and not compete. For those who compete with
others are more likely to be discouraged as we are not created for the same purpose.
Therefore if you know who you are and where you are going you will not be discouraged when
you are left behind but will always strive to get better.

In life there is a constant war between two worlds; the world of darkness and that of light, the
world of falsehood and that of the truth. Due to this constant battle we always find ourselves
wrestling between the two. These worlds calls for your attention, whenever God speaks to you
there is always that little voice that contradicts Gods voice. It is in your own power to decide
which voice to obey. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction;
whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life Galatians 6:8 NIV This
scripture above portrays the two worlds clearly. The flesh symbolise the world of the dark while
the spirit stands for the voice from above. If you choose to follow that little voice that comes
after Gods voice, you will surely reap destruction but if you obey Gods voice you shall be
entitled to the best of the land.
