    EPISODE 910 – HOLD ON TO THE WORD OF GOD

    Your faith is governed by your personal revelation. When you have a personal revelation of the Word, you can have personal daily victories of faith. Selah.
    Apostle Bennie
    Author
    Again, it doesn’t mean God afflicts people with sickness and diseases to show His glory, but rather, when the adversary strikes people with any infirmities, because of God’s healing power, many see God’s glory and give praise to Him.
     
    Now, Mary and Martha were to hold on to that message and allow it to define their composure.
     
    Nevertheless, Martha, for example, argued and doubted the decision of Jesus to roll away Lazarus’ tomb.
    Look at this, John 11:38-40 (TPT):
    ”Then Jesus, with intense emotions, came to the tomb—a cave with a stone placed over its entrance. Jesus told them, “Roll away the stone.” Then Martha said, “But Lord, it’s been four days since he died—by now his body is already decomposing!” Jesus looked at her and said, “Didn’t I tell you that if you will believe in me, you will see God unveil his power?”
     
    I believe Jesus had to look at her with astonishment, because before this time, He had said a lot to Martha and Mary about being the resurrection and the life. Martha was not holding on to the Words of Jesus. 
    Until you hold on to the Word of God, you will not demonstrate absolute confidence in God.
    “So they rolled away the heavy stone. Jesus gazed into heaven and said, “Father, thank you that you have heard my prayer, for you listen to every word I speak. Now, so that these who stand here with me will believe that you have sent me to the earth as your messenger, I will use the power you have given me.” Then with a loud voice Jesus shouted with authority: “Lazarus! Come out of the tomb!” Then in front of everyone, Lazarus, who had died four days earlier, slowly hobbled out—he still had grave clothes tightly wrapped around his hands and feet and covering his face! Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him loose.” From that day forward many of those who had come to visit Mary believed in him, for they had seen with their own eyes this amazing miracle! John 11:41-45 (TPT).
     
    Oh Hallelujah.
     
    Beloved, the word of the Lord is true and absolute. 
    Don’t look at the challenges to doubt God. 
    Make the Word of the Lord your focus, and you will see the manifestation of His glory.

    DON’T MOVE AWAY FROM THE GOSPEL 



    “But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”

    2 Corinthians 11: 3 (NKJV)



    What do you think was Paul’s greatest concern for the Churches he planted and the people he raised?

    It is that they will not be moved away from the gospel of Jesus.

    And that is the same concern of all the Apostles of Jesus.

    Today’s Church has a different understanding of who a False Teacher, False Prophet and False Apostle is in their midst.

    Most Teachers, Prophets and Apostles who will be called false are now celebrated by “Christians” as True teachers.

    The Church doesn’t know the difference between another gospel and the true gospel of Jesus.

    Paul instructed the leaders in Ephesus to be watchful of false teachers and prophets.

    He called these false teachers ferocious wolves. And he said they will speak perverse and distorted things (Acts 20:29-30).

    These things they speak are contrary to the gospel of Jesus. Remember, there are no two gospels. The gospel of Jesus is the gospel of Grace.

    See Paul’s commendation:

    “And now I commend you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to the word of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is able to build you up and to give you the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose–all believers].” Acts 20:32 (Amplified).
     
    Falsehood has always been in contrast to the revelation or the gospel (the goodnews) of Jesus.

    Look at the opening verse in context:

    “I am anxious for you with the deep concern of God himself—anxious that your love should be for Christ alone, just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband.  But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the Garden of Eden. You seem so gullible: you believe whatever anyone tells you even if he is preaching about another Jesus than the one we preach, or a different spirit than the Holy Spirit you received, or shows you a different way to be saved. You swallow it all.”  2 Corinthians 11:2-4 (TLB)

    The simplicity of Jesus is the gospel of Jesus. Your commitment to the gospel is your pure and simple devotion to Jesus.

    Stand strong in the glorious revelation of Jesus.

    Also, note that not all false gospel is preached by fake Pastors or Teachers or Apostles. Some people are genuinely called of God and sent by Christ, yet may find themselves teaching another gospel.

    It doesn’t mean the people are false, but their message or aspects of their teachings may be false.

    For example:

    One will teach that, “You are saved only by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by works”.

    That is the true gospel.

    However, after this person gets people saved, he begins to teach the saints another gospel, saying, “Though you are now saved, you can lose your salvation. Your salvation is not forever; it depends on your good works”.

    Beloved, this is a clear example of false teaching.

    To say one will lose his salvation is to say that the blood of Jesus is not enough to satisfy the demand of Justice. (I gave over 50 reasons you cannot lose your Salvation, click here to watch).

    To understand Justification, read the following:

     Justification 1 – 3

    – Justified by Faith

    Christ’s won freedom wasn’t partial

    The Case is closed

    What shall separate you?

    Your salvation only depends on the good works of Jesus. It is not dependent on your works. (Ephesians 2:9).

    Now, because you have been made righteous by Jesus, you live right unto God’s glory.

    This is the gospel.

    Hallelujah!

    WE PRAY
    We pray that we will not be given to another gospel but will consciously remain strong in the simplicity of the gospel and not swallow any other teaching at all.

    UNDERSTANDING THE GOSPEL 3 –
    THE GOSPEL IS THE REVELATION OF JESUS



    “For the gospel is all about God’s Son…” 

    Romans 1:3 (TPT)



    As I have explained in previous posts, the gospel is Jesus and all that He attained for the saints.

    God’s present message or news to the world is revealed through Jesus.

    All of God’s glorious message is fully fulfilled and expressed through our Lord Jesus.

    The appearing of Jesus, is the fulfilment of the scriptures concerning God’s saving plan and the expression of His Kingdom inheritance.

    All that God declared through the scriptures were testimonies of Jesus. They all pointed to His appearing (John 5:39). Now in God’s eternal plan there is nothing which will manifest without being founded on the revelation of Jesus.

    Whiles Paul and Barnabas were ministering to the Jews and non-Jews in Antioch, they patiently pointed out God’s prophetic dealings with the Israelites, and how that now Jesus is the fulfilment of the Prophecies of the scriptures.

    “So here we are to share with you some wonderful news! The promise God made to our forefathers has now been fulfilled for us, their children. For God has raised Jesus from the dead, as it says in Psalms: ‘Today I reveal you as my Son, and I as your Father.” Acts 13:32-33 (TPT)

    There is no good news above God’s news. And our Lord Jesus is the goodnews of God to the world.

    This is exactly what the Angel who announced the birth of our Lord Jesus, said to the shepherds.

    “In that country there were shepherds lying in the open fields, taking their turns to watch the stock in the night; when all of a sudden an angel of the Lord appear’d to them, and a heavenly light shone about them, at which they were greatly affrighted. but the angel said to them, be not afraid, I am only come to bring you great news, which will be matter of joy to you and to the whole world. for the Lord Messiah your saviour is this day born, in the city of David” Luke 2:8-11 (Mace New Testament)

    The birth of Jesus was a proclamation of great joy to the whole universe (see Aramaic Bible in Plain English).

    It was a goodnews or good tidings to all people everywhere.

    The gospel of our Lord is a news of hope and joy. The gospel of our Lord Jesus is not a message of doom and destruction. It is the news of God’s deliverance and salvation to those who believe.

    It is the goodnews of God’s peace, His goodness and loving kindness.

    Until you grow in the knowldge of the gospel of our Lord Jesus, you will not walk in total victory.

    The gospel is not a message which points to your self efforts or attempts and struggle to obey the law of Moses. The gospel is the revelation of Jesus and the salvation which He brings to mankind through Him.

    The gospel does not point you to your weakness, failures and defeats. The gospel is the proclamation of Jesus and all He has accomplished for you. Whenever the gospel is preached you see Jesus in His glory.

    Are you hearing the Gospel (Goodnews) of Jesus or you are hearing other news which are not consistent with the revelation of Jesus?

    Set your mind on the revelation of Jesus which establishes you in the satisfaction of peace.

    Selah.

    MANIFEST HIS GLORY


    “And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit.”

    2 Cor. 3:18 (Amplified)


    When you were born again, the Lord made you a partaker of His glory.

    The glory of God is in you.

    The glory of God is the beauty and excellence of God revealed in your life.
    The manifestation of God’s glory is to be seen in every aspect of your life.
    Wherever Jesus went and whatever He did, there was the manifestation of the glory of God.

    John said, “…we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (NKJV)

    Whatever you share with Christ becomes the reality of who you are. As you share in the glory of God in Christ Jesus, you also become the glory of God.

    As a partaker of the glory of God, you are also designed to show forth or make known His glory in all things.

    “But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world.” 1 Peter 2:9 (TPT).

    As a partaker of the glory of God, you are mandated to broadcast or announce, or showcase the glory which you have received.

    This is the purpose of your calling.

    He called you out of darkness, corruption, defeat, failure and brought you into His marvellous light (to make you a light being) that His glory will be seen in you.

    You have a duty to bring many to the knowledge of the classic grandeur of God.
    The wisdom of God is an expression of God’s glory. The love of God, His goodness, prosperity, peace, healing virtues and power are all expressions of God’s glory.

    Remember, the glory of God is the expression of God.

    God’s glory or excellence, and beauty must be seen in how you love, speak, and handle situations or responsibilities.

    God, who is Spirit and invisible, can be seen and experienced through you. As the embodiment of the glory of God, anyone who interacts with you must behold the majestic excellence of God.

    Your words must be full of wisdom and grace. Your work ethic at the office must be a reflection of God’s creativity and excellence.

    Anyone who sees you must see the effulgence of Christ.

    Get this:

    You don’t manifest the glory of God just by shouting “Gloryyyyyy!!!”

    It’s great to celebrate the glory of God and rejoice in it.

    However, you manifest the glory of God by showcasing the beautiful heart of God to your world.

    Hallelujah!

    FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE


    “Whether you eat or drink, live your life in a way that glorifies and honors God.” 

    1 Corinthians 10:31 (TPT)


     
    Our Lord Jesus is the ultimate model and pattern of our Faith. Our true identity is in Christ.
     
    Jesus came to unveil the mystery of godliness (1 Timothy 3:16). The mystery of godliness is the expression of the GOD-MAN (Jesus was revealed as fully God and fully man). 
     
    Thus the mystery of godliness is not just the revelation of God to man; it is also the revelation of man’s originality to man.
    Man’s renaissance of identity and purpose can only be found in Christ Jesus.
    That is why we are charged through the scriptures to continue to behold Jesus.
    As you behold Jesus you begin to live and function like Him. 
     
    “…As He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17).
     
    To function like Jesus is to live the life God has predestined you to be conformed to His image and live like He did (Romans 8:29).
     
    When you became born again, you received His life and nature. His purpose also became your purpose.
    In Salvation, we were created to be in the likeness and image of Jesus.
    “…Nevertheless I live yet not I but it is Christ that lives in me. The life that I live now in the flesh  I live by the faith of the Son of God…” (Galatians 2:20).
     
    All that Jesus did was unto the glory of God. What else must be the purpose of your living and what you do?
    It must be unto the glory of God just as Jesus lived.
    Jesus lived to honor the Father above Himself.
     
    We also have to live to honor the Father above ourselves. We don’t honor God just to win favor from Him. We honor the Father for who He is.
    We don’t live like ordinary men, for they have no thoughts of God and don’t live to acknowledge Him nor glorify Him.
    “For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.” Romans 1:20-21 (NKJV).
    However, as you are in Christ, the Prophecy of Isaiah is your reality.
    “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.“
     
    The hearts of men are darkened and they walk in the futility of their thoughts because they have not acknowledged and glorified God; even though they see His attributes through creation.
     
    But for us, our reality is different, when we beheld and received Jesus, the glorious light of the knowledge of God shone in our hearts. Therefore, we live daily to glorify and honor God.
    Whatever you do, look beyond your self-interest, or satisfaction. Whatever you do must not be according to your will or desire but unto God’s glory and honor. 
    You don’t do things just to please yourself. You don’t do things just because it is a sin or not. The question is:
     
    How does it GLORIFY GOD?
    How is your daily life, your speech, your conduct bringing glory to God and honoring Him?
    This is how you emulate the example of Jesus.
