MAN'S DUTY

   A man has three vital parts - the spirit, soul and body. Each part is necessary for proper functioning. When the Lord speaks, things comes to life (Genesis 1:3). We are the reflection of the Almighty God who is spirit (Genesis 1:26&27), which have the mind for reasoning and emotions (soul),and a container to live on this planet (the body) Genesis 2:7.
   Each part has it's function. The man created by God is spiritual like Himself, but to the showing forth of His glory and represent Him on earth, He needed to give him a body to function. We know the function of the soul and body, but what is the function of the spirit man?
   Everything the Lord created was for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). Each creation show forth His Greatness and Majesty, so the sole aim of man creation is to WORSHIP Him. This is the function of the spirit which the soul and body can't perform, it can only be done by the spirit.
    The body can't do the work of the spirit because it's weak for such action (Matthew 26:41). The Lord is spirit, His dwelling place, ways and company(the elders, angel and heavenly creatures) are spiritual. The original man He made was spirit, but since the fall, that man has lost His spiritual sense, so he can only improvise using his physical sense and emotions.
   The bridge our Lord Jesus Christ mended was for the restoration of the original man's senses (the spirit man). So that he will connect with his maker to perform his duty - WORSHIP. Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior made it clear that the FATHER is pleased with a true worshipper in spirit (John 4:23).
   The reason being that when man fell, a virus called FLESH entered into the container and it contaminated the content (the man structure). Ever since, man became selfish and wants things for himself. This is the reason why we need the Holy spirit for proper functioning. We can't do it on our own (John 15:5) because we won't see the need for it, but the spirit helps and restore us back to our original being.
   For the Holy spirit to help us, we must firstly surrender to the Lordship of Christ Jesus by believing in His death and resurrection. Then the Holy spirit will make our body His dwelling place( Hebrew 3:6) to revive our spirit, destroy the works of the flesh and help us to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). God bless us. Amen!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
