- JESUS WAS NOT TOO POPULAR WHEN HE WALKED AROUND ON EARTH
- SOME LOVED HIM, OTHERS HATED HIM AND CALLED HIM NAMES
- BUT HE COULD NOT BE MOVED,HE ALWAYS KNEW WHO HE WAS,HE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD HIS IDENTITY AND PURPOSE
- NOBODY NEEDED TO HELP HIM IDENTIFY HIS PURPOSE JOHN 5:15-29
- JOHN 8:48-59
- PSALM 139::14 SAYS I WILL PRAISE THEE; FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: MARVELLOUS ARE THY WORKS; AND THAT MY SOUL KNOWETH RIGHT WELL.
- LET US ALL READ PSAL M 16 AND LOOK AT IT VESRSE BY VERSE
- GOD IS OUR HERITAGE.THE NAME OF JESUS IS OUR LEGACY
- GOD WILL ALWAYS GUIDE AND COUNSEL BY HIS SPIRIT
- GOD WILL GIVE US OUR INHERTANCE AND PRESERVE US FROMM ALL EVIL AS LONG AS WE ARE SAVED
- AFTER GIVING YOU YOUR INHERITANCE HE WILL SHOW YOU YOUR PURPOSE
- FOR EXAMPLE HE LOVED HIS SON THE LORD JESUS AND GAV E HIM THE SPIRIT WITHOUT MEASURE AND COMMITTED ALL THINGS INTO HIS HANDS::
“ FOR HE WHOM GOD HATH SENT SPEAKETH THE WORDS OF GOD: FOR GOD GIVETH NOT THE SPIRIT BY MEASURE UNTO HIM THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HAND. HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE: AND HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE; BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDETH ON HIM..”JOHN 334-36
- THIS IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS ABOUT HIMSELF TO ALL HIS ENEMIES
- .NOW JOHN THE BAPTIST CONFIRMS IT
- THESE TWO WERE COUSINS AND BOTH THEIR MOTHERS HAD POWERFUL ANGELIC VISITATIONS
- CERTAINLY THEY SPOKE TO THEM AND OF COURSE SO DID GOD THE FATHER
- HE DID NOT HIDE ANYTHING FROM HIS SON.
- NOW THE QUESTION IS DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?.HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO HE LORD ABOUT YOU?
- YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE DARK ABOUT YOUR LIFE
- YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HE WILL REVEL ALL THINGS TO YOU
- NOTE THAT HE IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO CONFIRM ALL THAT THE LORD HAS SPOKEN TO YOU IN HIS WORD
- THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT MIND TO CONFIRM THE WORD HE TELLS YOU
- SO JOHN THE BAPTIST CONFIRMS WHO JESUS IS.GOD THE FATHER CONFIRMED JESUS TO THE WORLD AT BAPTISM
- HE CONFIRMED HIS IDENTITY TO THE DISCIPLES ON THE MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION
- HE SAID ON BOTH OCCASIONS” THIS IS MY BELOVED SON WITH WHOM AM WELL PLEASED,LISTEN TO HIM”
- KNOW YOUR HERITAGE,KNOW YOUR INHERITANCE,KNOW YOUR PURPOSE AND THEN CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY
- NOW PEOPLE OF GOD NO MAN CAN CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY FOR YOU.
- THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING IS THAT GOD THE FATHER WILL NEVR CHOOSE OUR DESTINY FOR US
- HE WILL SURELY LOVE US AND REWARD US MIGHTILY IF WE CHOOSE OUR DESTINY ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES
BUT HE WILL NEVER CHOOSE OUR DESTINY FOR US
“I WILL BLESS THE LORD, WHO HATH GIVEN ME COUNSEL: MY REINS ALSO INSTRUCT ME IN THE NIGHT SEASONS. ¶ I HAVE SET THE LORD ALWAYS BEFORE ME: BECAUSE HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, I SHALL NOT BE MOVED. THEREFORE MY HEART IS GLAD, AND MY GLORY REJOICETH: MY FLESH ALSO SHALL REST IN HOPE. FOR THOU WILT NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN HELL; NEITHER WILT THOU SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION. THOU WILT SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE: IN THY PRESENCE IS FULNESS OF JOY; AT THY RIGHT HAND THERE ARE PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE.” PSALM 16: 7-11
- THE MOST POWERFUL GIFT THAT GOD HAS GIVEN TOUS AS HUMAN BEINGS IS THE POWER OF CHOICE
- THIS POWER IS TERRIBLY ABUSED BY MANKIND IN MANY WAYS AND WITH SERIUOS CONSEQUENCES:
- “THEIR SORROWS SHALL BE MULTIPLIED THAT HASTEN AFTER ANOTHER GOD: THEIR DRINK OFFERINGS OF BLOOD WILL I NOT OFFER, NOR TAKE UP THEIR NAMES INTO MY LIPS.”PS 16:4
- BUT GOD WILL NEVER TAKE IT BACK.HE CREATED US WITH THAT POWER
- ADAM AND EVE WERE GIVEN THAT POWER TO CHOOSE TO OBEY GOD’S VOICE OR THAT OF SATAN
- CAIN AND ABEL HAD THE CHOICE WE KNOW HOW THEY BOTH CHOSE
- ABRAHAM AND LOT,HAD THE POWER OF CHOICE.LOT MADE A BAD CHOICE.BUT ABRAHAM HE WOUL HAVE LOST HIS LIFE
- SSAME WITH JACOB AND ESAU.ESAU CHOSE A POT OF SOUP OVERHIS DESTINY
- THOUGH HE EVENTUALLY HAD A LOT OF MONEY IN LIFE HE HAD NO SPIRITUAL INHERITANCE
- JESUS SAY SWHAT SHALL IT PROFIT YOU IF YOU GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOU SOUL IN HELL
- FOR CHOOSING CONTRARY TO GOD’S PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE YOU WILL SURELY END UP IN HELL
- LOOK AT THE PRODIGAL SON.HE HAD IT ALL BUT DID NOT EVEN KNOW THE PURPOSE OF ALL THAT WEALTH
- HE MADE A BAD CHOICE THANK GOD HE TRUNED AROUND QUICKLY
- SAMSON IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF A LIFE THAT ABUSED HIS POWER OF CHOIICE AND DIED A PAINFUL AND HUMILIATING DEATH
- ALL YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN PLS GO AND STUDY THE LIFE OF SAMSON
- HE WAS ANNOINTED,HE WAS POWERFUL,HE COULD HEAR GOD BUTHE MADE VERY BAD CHOIES IN REALTIONSHIPS AND PAID FOR IT
- MOSES MADE A GOOD CHOICE:
“BY FAITH MOSES, WHEN HE WAS BORN, WAS HID THREE MONTHS OF HIS PARENTS, BECAUSE THEY SAW HE WAS A PROPER CHILD; AND THEY WERE NOT AFRAID OF THE KING’S COMMANDMENT. BY FAITH MOSES, WHEN HE WAS COME TO YEARS, REFUSED TO BE CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER; CHOOSING RATHER TO SUFFER AFFLICTION WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD, THAN TO ENJOY THE PLEASURES OF SIN FOR A SEASON; ESTEEMING THE REPROACH OF CHRIST GREATER RICHES THAN THE TREASURES IN EGYPT: FOR HE HAD RESPECT UNTO THE RECOMPENCE OF THE REWARD. BY FAITH HE FORSOOK EGYPT, NOT FEARING THE WRATH OF THE KING: FOR HE ENDURED, AS SEEING HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE. THROUGH FAITH HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, LEST HE THAT DESTROYED THE FIRSTBORN SHOULD TOUCH THEM. HEB 11;23-28
- PHIL 2:5-11 ADVISES US
‘’LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS: WHO, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD, THOUGHT IT NOT ROBBERY TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD: BUT MADE HIMSELF OF NO REPUTATION, AND TOOK UPON HIM THE FORM OF A SERVANT, AND WAS MADE IN THE LIKENESS OF MEN: AND BEING FOUND IN FASHION AS A MAN, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF, AND BECAME OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH, EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS. WHEREFORE GOD ALSO HATH HIGHLY EXALTED HIM, AND GIVEN HIM A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: THAT AT THE NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, OF THINGS IN HEAVEN, AND THINGS IN EARTH, AND THINGS UNDER THE EARTH; AND THAT EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, TO THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER.
- JESUS HAD THE SAME POWER LIKE THE FATHER BUT HE CHOSE TO OBEY HIM
- HE CHOSE TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF THE FATHER
- WE ARE ADVISED TO HAVE THAT SAME HUMBLE MIND THAT JESUS HAD
- HE WAS HUMBLE AND GOD THE FATHER EXALTED HIM AND GAVE HIM A NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES
- .MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE AND LIVE DEUTERONOMY 30:19
- “ I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH THOU AND THY SEED MAY LIVE:”
- THE LORD CHOSE TO DIE ON THE CROSS RATHER THAN TO BE CROWNED KING IN JERUSALEM AFTER HE RAISED LAZARUS:
- HE CHOSE THE FATHER’S WILL.AND WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD TO REIGN FOREVER AND EVER AS KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS JOHN 12:24
- MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY I TURNED 63 YESTERDAY. I THANKED GOD
- I CALLED MY MOM TO THANK HER AND ASKED HER TO CLARIFY SOME INFO ABOUT MY LIFE
- I REALIZED THAT I WAS BORN FOR A PURPOSE BUT SATAN DID NOT EVEN WANT ME TO BE BORN
- HE KEPT TRYING TO GIVE ME CONTERFEIT CHOICES, HE NEARLY ABUSED MY LOVE FOR GOD BY TRYING TO GET ME INTO THE CONVENT
- AS A CATHOLIC SATAN MADE ME DECIDE TO BE A NUN WHO WOULD WORSHIP MARY AND END UP IN HELL
- THEN I BECAME A LECTURER GOT SAVED AND CALLED
- BUT .HE WAS ALSO TRYING TO MAKE ME AVOID MY CALLING BY SENDING A LOT OF PERRSECUTIONS AND MOCKERY ON MY WAY
- .HE EVEN TRIED TO USE THE RGISTRAR OF OUR UNIVERSITY TO TRY AND PERSUADE ME TO STAY IN THE UNIVERSITY AND PREACH TO THE GIRLS IN THE FEMALE HOSTEL FOR EXTRA MONEY
- HE FOOLED ME TO DECIDE TO ABANDON MY CALLING WHEN I ACCOMPANIED MY FAMILY TO KENYA
- BUT I KNEW MY HERITAGE.I KNEW MY INHERITANCE AND I KNEW MY PURPOSE
- I KNEW HOW TO SEEK THE LORD WHENEVER I CAME TO ANY CROSS ROADS JER 29:11-13
- THE ONLY PERSON THAT KNOWS ALL THINGS ABOUT YOU IS GOD
- DON’T STAY CONFUSED STAY ON YOUR KNEES.
- LET THE LOVE OF GOD LEAD AND GUIDE YOU TO MAKE RIGHT CHOICES:
“SEE, I HAVE SET BEFORE THEE THIS DAY LIFE AND GOOD, AND DEATH AND EVIL; IN THAT I COMMAND THEE THIS DAY TO LOVE THE LORD THY GOD, TO WALK IN HIS WAYS, AND TO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HIS STATUTES AND HIS JUDGMENTS, THAT THOU MAYEST LIVE AND MULTIPLY: AND THE LORD THY GOD SHALL BLESS THEE IN THE LAND WHITHER THOU GOEST TO POSSESS IT. BUT IF THINE HEART TURN AWAY, SO THAT THOU WILT NOT HEAR, BUT SHALT BE DRAWN AWAY, AND WORSHIP OTHER GODS, AND SERVE THEM; I DENOUNCE UNTO YOU THIS DAY, THAT YE SHALL SURELY PERISH, AND THAT YE SHALL NOT PROLONG YOUR DAYS UPON THE LAND, WHITHER THOU PASSEST OVER JORDAN TO GO TO POSSESS IT. I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU, THAT I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE, THAT BOTH THOU AND THY SEED MAY LIVE:”DEUT.3015-19
