You are Led by The Spirit of God! - An Act of Grace


There might be a holy desire in you if you are born again to be receiving the leadings of the Spirit of God. Everyone wants to make best decisions. No one wants to run into mistakes. No one wants to run into losses. Men are so blind without a Guide. That's why people turn to so-called "prophets", diviners, stargazers etc, because they'll like to know what step is next and best in their life. In short, an undeniable need in everyone's life is the need to be guided by a supernatural power somewhere. But good news to the Christian! We are led by the Almighty Himself!


It's so real! It's so true! We have access to the Father and God of the universe's leading.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14 KJV)

6 Reasons we do not need to make vows unto God Anymore


Make our minds enlightened Father, Amen!
Before we examine why we do not need to make vows unto God anymore, I thinks it is essential to look into why we needed vows in the first place. Why do people make vows? People would give various answers such as below.

  1. To access the heavens and reach God faster
  2. To express our desperation and sacrificial attitude
  3. To appease God to forgive us and ignore our inadequacy
  4. To "challenge" or "blow up" God's mind
  5. To put God to test
  6. Because it's one of the principles by which God works in scripture
Follow closely as we look into these reasons of people and as we see how true they really are

“I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy” Explained (II) – salvation for All 14


We ended the last section [Salvation for All Part 13] with questions:
Isn't this "whom I will have mercy" again pointing to a hidden agenda and bigoted plan of God? Who are the ones whom God has chosen to have mercy on? Who are the ones God has concluded to have compassion on? We also concluded that we cannot buy God's mercy by prayer and fasting and vigils. Yes, we cannot pray that God should have mercy on us because God has concluded on whom He will have mercy on; and that "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy" is only an information to be heard; not to be reacted to, not to be questioned. No man's opinion is being sought. We heard it just to know what is to come. This is unlike many other prophecies, where you begin to "forbid bad thing" and bind the devil.
Then, with Moses, it was a prophecy. Today I can tell you it's fulfilled already! Mercy is at work already. On whom did God finally had mercy as promised? On "All Flesh"; every creature; all men. And He did this in Christ Jesus! Jesus Christ is the mercy of God on the perishing humanity

6 Things Water Baptism Is Not or Cannot Do


Thank God for another time to share in the Word! We just take a glance at some six things water baptism cannot or does not do. Recall that we took on a topic sometimes ago on "What the bible teaches on water baptism". Hope you enjoyed that then? Without wasting time, let's go!!





    Water Baptism does not equal salvation

    I think a lot of people should not have problem with this. Salvation apart, water baptism apart! In no way is a man who is water-baptised saved by it. Water baptism is works, salvation is grace through faith. Water baptism is "of yourselves": salvation is "the gift of God". Anyone could boast of water baptism because it is of works; but none can boast of salvation because it is of grace. Thus, in no way is water baptism equal to salvation.
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
    (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)

What does the bible teach on water baptism?





What is water baptism? What does the bible says on water baptism? How should I do water baptism? Why should have a water baptism? Should I have my water baptism at all? Need Biblical approach to this topic? Sit, relax and pay attention with or without your bible around. We'll be blessed, promises to be a sweet time in bible study today again. Don't forget to share, tell a friend about this teaching if you think it would interest them too. This topic should have been a whole book but I have made it so short that you won't have to read a so long article: it's concise and straight to point. Lord we receive Your word again today.


Water baptism!


Here is what the man I call the Father of water baptism has to say concerning his pivotal baptism ministry. I mean John the Baptist.


And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:


(Luke 3:15-16 KJV)

God's Salvation Plan - Topical Index





GSP Series: “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy” Explained – salvation for All 13

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. (Romans 9:15 KJV)
 
On whom will God have mercy? On whom will God have compassion?

This scripture is one of the scriptural portions I see that have been so much misconstrued; distorted so much that it has begun to mean just the opposite of the intended message. Hmm!

For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. (Romans 9:15 KJV)

This verse is intended to call for rest, but too much work is interpreted of it today. It says God has irreversibly made up His mind “on whom I will have mercy”, yet people read it and struggle to force their way into God having mercy on them. God is saying I do not make open admission into my school of mercy: enrolment is strictly by invitation. No cry, no human exertion can make mercy! It is not open unto discussion or negotiation. Admission is closed.
