Five types of religion in the world: which category are you in?

1. The genuine, authentic, and true Christians. They live by every Word of God in love,truth,Holiness, righteousness, and faith.

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭8:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers. [2] And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. [3] So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[4] But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

‭‭John‬ ‭14:15‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[15] “If you love Me, keep My commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

2. Pseudo Christians, Which consists of all false prophets, who are counterfeit, and fake. Jesus called them wolves in sheep clothing.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:15‭-‬20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[15] “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. [16] You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? [17] Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. [18] A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. [19] Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. [20] Therefore, by their fruits you will know them.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:27‭-‬29‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
[27] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you are like tombs that have been whitewashed, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything impure. [28] Just so, you also outwardly seem to people to be just and upright but inside you are full of pretense and lawlessness and iniquity. [Ps. 5:9.] [29] Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, pretenders (hypocrites)! For you build tombs for the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous,

3. Religious Christians, who practice religion and traditions but have no relationship with God.

‭‭Mark‬ ‭7:9‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[9] He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. [10] For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ [11] But you say, ‘If a man says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is Corban”—’ (that is, a gift to God), [12] then you no longer let him do anything for his father or his mother, [13] making the word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have handed down. And many such things you do.”

4. Political Christians who want to be radical through governmental policies .

‭‭Amos‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[3] Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1:1‭-‬6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. [3] He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. [4] The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. [5] Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. [6] For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭6:14‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[14] Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? [15] And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? [16] And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” [17] Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

5. Corporate Christians, who thinks that the church is a business, that they owned and control everything, excluding God out of the everyday decisions, and make it of non- effect for the power and move of God to operate. They ignore or forget that Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone. Is it Jesus’s Church or yours?

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:16‭-‬18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[16] For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. [18] And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7:21‭-‬23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[21] “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. [22] Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ [23] And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:17‭-‬18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[17] Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. [18] And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭2:4‭-‬10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[4] Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, [5] you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. [6] Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” [7] Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” [8] and “A stone of stumbling And a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. [9] But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; [10] who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

‭‭” Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this, the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

By this, we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have seen and testified that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he is in God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”(1 John 4:7-21 NKJV).

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭8:17‭-‬18‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ says this :
[17] I love those who love me, and those who seek me early and diligently shall find me. [I Sam. 2:30; Ps. 91:14; John 14:21; James 1:5.] [18] Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God). [Prov. 3:16; Matt. 6:33.]
[20] I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice,
[18] Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. [19] My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver.
[21] That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries. [22] “The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. [23] I have been established from everlasting, From the beginning, before there was ever an earth.

However, ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:4‭-‬6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ puts it this way:
[4] But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, [5] even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), [6] and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

Then ‭‭John‬ ‭14:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says :
[15] “If you love Me, keep My commandments.

1 John 2:15 warns us :
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 3:17
But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
The evidence of love is demonstrated in Giving, Caring, Sharing, and Compassion.
Love gives to others at the expense and sacrifice of self.
-Lust and hate always seek to get and take from others to satisfy themselves. These kind of individuals always seek to satisfy themselves at the expense of others.
People are to be loved and not to be used. Things are to be used and not to be loved.
-Beware of those who love things and use people, and especially beware of those who use people to get the things they love.
+++Let the Word of God be the standard for your life.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

When the man of GOD lives by every word of GOD, it strengthens his entire life and weakens the enemy plots against him.You can’t be glitchy. As ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭2:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ warns us. ” lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

‭‭” Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. [8] Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” (James 4:7-8 NKJV).

‭‭ “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 16:31 NKJV).Believe / belief must always be constant without interruption

”But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”(Matthew 19:26 NKJV)

”Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”(
Mark 9:23 NKJV)

”Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”(John 6:28-29 NKJV)

LISTEN

When a man gets in agreement with GOD, nothing can break that agreement.

The Word of GOD is law
The Word of GOD is the final authority
No man can obey and live the word of GOd without first having love (take it 5 leves deep) for GOD.

The Bible is written in the condense version and He (GOD) gave you all the information in the Bible to figure out what is in there.
You can figure out what is there by his grace

God is a GOD of order and sequence

For man to say that the Bible has mistakes he has disgrace GOD, GOD can watch over his word to performed.

When it comes to the things of GOD man cannot be lazy or procrastinate

Believe / belief it must be constant, cannot have interruption, the moment you break it you will mess up the entire operation

Peter walking on water is the example ”So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”“
Matthew 14:29-33 NKJV

”Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”“
Luke 18:6-8 NKJV

It takes faith to get salvation and it takes faith to keep your salvation.

We have to have all out faith for everything.

Why my faith?

1 John 5:4-5 ”For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?“
I John 5:4-5 NKJV

My faith is world overcoming faith

Jesus said, “Peter, I pray for you that your faith doesn’t fail.”

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

PRAYERS GO WHERE YOU CAN NOT GO,DO WHAT YOU CAN’T DO, BECAUSE YOU GIVE GOD ACCESS TO DIVINELY INTERVENE ON YOUR BEHALF.

PRAYER is a dialogue that goes two ways,you talk to God,then you listen. In John 10:27 Jesus said,”My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me”. Then in John 10:5 He said,”And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers”. As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ we are to know His Voice and His vocabulary (His Word).We must intentionally listen to hear the voice of God.Consistent prayer, study and meditation in God’s Word helps us to hear his voice.

Remember prayer is not to just tell God what you want in Jesus Name and run. After we have prayed. We need to wait and listen for God’s Voice. Prayer is also dialogue between God and us.Exercise this discipline consistently to hear God’s Voice and it will change your entire life for the better. Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

All the benefits of prayer empowers our lives. Prayer is not a monologue (just us talking to God). Prayer is a dialogue. We speak to God and God speaks to us.
+++Consider putting thanksgiving and praises before your petitions in prayer.
+++In prayer it is more important for us to hear God, than for God to hear us.
+++In prayer the will of God is more important than our personal desires, Luke 11:1-4.
+++In prayer we experienced the presence of God and we develop intimacy with Him.
+++In prayer our hearts and minds are in sync with the Heart and Mind of God.
+++When we leave prayer we are Informed, instructed and corrected.
Our hearts and minds are touched with enlightenment, inspiration, encouragement and strength.
Luke 18:1 …men ought always to pray, and not to faint…
Continue instant in prayer.
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit…

‭‭James‬ ‭5:15‭-‬16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ tells us this :
[15] And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. [16] Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen! Enjoy the rest of the day.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

LOVE can’t be bought nor sold. Flowers, diamonds, nor gold is not a substitute for love,nor proof of love. Verbal ,physical, nor any type of abuse is not love . Don’t get it twisted.

HERE ARE DEMONSTRATIONS OF LOVE ,GOD’S WAY.

‭‭” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16 NKJV).
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”(Mark 12:30-31 NKJV)

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭13:1‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ clearly tells us what love looks like,and feels like:
[1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. [2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. [3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

[4] Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; [5] does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; [6] does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; [7] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. [8] Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.

[9] For we know in part and we prophesy in part. [10] But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. [11] When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. [12] For now, we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. [13] And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Then ‭‭I John‬ ‭4:16‭-‬21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ went further to say :
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him. [17] Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. [19] We love Him because He first loved us. [20] If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? [21] And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

‭‭I John‬ ‭2:15‭-‬16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[15] Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

‭‭” But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”(Romans 8:9-17 NKJV).

‭‭John‬ ‭14:16‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
[26] But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. [27] Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2:9‭-‬16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[9] But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” [10] But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. [13] These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. [16] For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

‭‭” I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”(Galatians 5:16-26 NKJV).

‭‭”But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, Anyd to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.” [Jude 1:17-25 NKJV]

‭‭

You’re not smarter nor wiser than God. So desire GODLY WISDOM.

‭‭”Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the Lord.”( Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV).

‭‭” Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”( Proverbs 4:7 NKJV).

‭‭”Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.” (Proverbs 14:33 NKJV).

‭‭”Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:25-31 NKJV).

It’s good that you have achieved the highest level of academics , but your Ph.D., Masters, and all your degrees don’t and can’t make you smarter than God. You think you know it all .Like He said to Job ,He is saying to you :

‭‭Job‬ ‭38:4‭-‬13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[4] “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding. [5] Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? [6] To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, [7] When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? [8] “Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb; [9] When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band; [10] When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors; [11] When I said, ‘This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!’ [12] “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place, [13] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

However,I hope you know that,the world can’t teach you spiritual things ,that’s in the Bible. Jesus said in ‭‭John‬ ‭14:16‭-‬17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬:
[16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— [17] the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
[26] But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭2:9‭-‬16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ puts it this way:
[9] But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” [10] But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. [11] For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. [13] These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. [16] For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

As James‬ ‭1:5‭-‬8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says:
[5] If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. [6] But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. [7] For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; [8] he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

+Remember Christ Jesus has been made Wisdom unto us in (1 Corinthians 1:30).
+The Wisdom of God is needed in every situation, especially during hard times.
+When you manage your hard times with Godly Wisdom, your hard times will become good times.
+But when you fail to manage you good times with Godly Wisdom, your good times will eventually start becoming bad times.
+Do all with GODLY WISDOM.

‭‭I Peter‬ ‭4:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[11] If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭2:14‭-‬16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[14] The wise man’s eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all. [15] So I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?” Then I said in my heart, “This also is vanity.” [16] For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust, and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED we are and BLESSED we will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

‭‭” This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”(Joshua 1:8-9 NKJV)

Meditation is the basis for understanding
The 3 things you get when you meditate the word of GOD
1. You get Revelation
2. You get visions
3. You get impartation (the gift becomes active).

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[14] Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

When I meditate I’m extracting from the thing that I’m meditating on
When a man meditates, he is thinking about it, speaking about it, looking into it, looking over it, examining, slowly attentively repeatedly, and in the process he is extracting from it.

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6‭-‬9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ says this :
[6] Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; [7] and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. [8] Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. [9] The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Stop meditating on your bills, job,spouse,money, and the things of this world. Change your focus and be at peace.

When I meditate on His word, GOD starts to communicate with me through the Holy Spirit. In my meditation, I will get visions (God gives you something to see), revelation (you get more spiritual understanding), and impartation (activation of spiritual gifts and deeper operation).

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭1:1‭-‬2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[1] Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1:24‭-‬25‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
[24] Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, [25] To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

‭‭” Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.” (Proverbs 10:12 NKJV).

‭‭” For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.”(John 3:16 AMPC).

‭‭” IF I [can] speak in the tongues of men and [even] of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God’s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God’s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody). Even if I dole out all that I have [to the poor in providing] food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God’s love in me), I gain nothing.

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth]. For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded).

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God]. And so faith, hope, love abide [faith–conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope–joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love–true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.”(1 Corinthians 13: 1- 13 AMPC).

Then ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ tells us:
“Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins” [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. [Prov. 10:12.]

‭‭”Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”(1 John 4:17-21 NKJV).

‭‭” Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).[Jude 1:24-25 AMPC].

The Power of BELIEF in God
John 4:48
Then said Jesus unto him, Except all of you see signs and wonders, all of you will not BELIEVE.
+Believing before we see and received is a Powerful Spiritual Principle.
+This is a principle of Faith that is needed to be exercised in order to receive from the Lord.
John 20:29
Jesus says unto him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have BELIEVED: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have BELIEVED.
+Let us not wait to see changes before we believe. This is counterproductive to our faith and a hindrance to receive from God.
Psalm 27:13
I would have fainted, unless I had BELIEVED TO SEE the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
+Notice in this scripture we do not SEE TO BELIEVE, WE BELIEVE FIRST AND THEN WE WILL SEE THE THINGS OF GOD. AMEN!
+Remember we walk by faith not by sight (2 Cor. 5:7).
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

“God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.”
1 Thessalonians 5:24

My 🙏🏽 Prayer…
Father,
God, we believe You make things happen in our lives. You are faithful and transforming us into people who resemble Christ Jesus! Only Your miraculous hand on our lives could produce the supernatural change we experience when we seek You with all of our hearts, Lord. We are thankful for this day, which You have awakened us to live fully in order to bring glory to You.

Father, today we bring to You the impossible prayers we have been praying to You. We lay the burden of them down at Your feet, the worry we won’t see the answer we want in the time we want on this earth we lift up to You. You are in control, God, even when it feels like everything is out of control. When people are taken from us too soon, and sickness and tragic accidents seem to win, we are shaken, Father. In those moments when we feel our prayers have failed us, remind us of Your sovereignty, God. Remind us of Your goodness, and set a peace in our hearts that allows us to cope, embrace comfort, and submit to Your compassionate encouragement and faithful direction on our lives, Lord.

This is a prayer to make it happen, God. We will continue to pray for miraculous healing, even though we can’t see when it will come. Today, we choose to believe Your timing over our agenda, knowing the years of our lives are but a fast lap around the track in comparison to Your Eternal existence, God. Make peace happen in our lives today, God. We pray for miraculous reconciliation where there has been discord and division, conflict and misunderstanding. We trust Your movement in our hearts and the hearts of those on the other side of the line, God. Do what only You can do in the minds and hearts of humanity.

Father, this is a prayer to make it happen. We pray for Your will to come to fruition in our lives. Let today be a step in Your direction, and let every day we live on this earth bring glory to You, God. Show us the way You have marked out for us. Give us the courage we need and the confidence required to walk in Truth for the rest of our lives, God. Help us to notice and embrace the people You have placed around us. To apologize when warranted and forgive without being asked. Father, let our lives be a channel of Your love. This is a prayer to make it happen …by Your hand, in Your time, according to Your will.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
