Government

Governemnt is not a concept that is easily understood. To govern is to have rules and regulations to conduct life. To govern is to provide guidance as to how to conduct affairs of daily living. Good government results in good outcomes. Poor government results in chaos and poor outcomes. The proper structure of government based on biblical values of love, respect and trust will result in people feeling safe and cared for. The church is God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. The church is to exemplify what true government should be like. What we see is the church following the government of the world. In the world government is hierarchical and based on power and not love. Money drives issues and this is not the way of true governance. How does one govern when money is the guiding factor in all matters. Decisions are made based on what is cheap not what is good and of value. Democracy as a form of government is seen as the best way to govern in the modern era. However democracy means also that many ill ways are accommodated because they are not based on biblical values. We pray thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. However this is what we pray but what we do is based on greed and power. What is based on greed and power can never last. Greed and power in the church has destroyed the church. Only servanthood based on love and trust and transparency can result in good government.

JOY

Happiness is generally due to a happening. Happiness therefore can change through the day because good and bad things can happen. Joy on the other hand is not due to happenings as it is a constant fruit of the Spirit. Like all the other gifts of the Spirit this never changes. Our awareness of this may change depending on whether we are walking in the Spirit or walking in the flesh. All the knowledge you need is in Him. He is in you therefore you have acces to all knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge alone cannot achieve anything as it is in a vacuum. It is wisdom that enables you to apply the knowledge. You may know all about cars but it is only if you can drive it, is it of any use. A car in the garage is nice to see but of no use if it cannot move.  It is the application of knowledge that will bring forth results. So also in all spheres of life we need knowledge but more than that the ability to apply the knowledge to bring about change. Many have knowledge but few apply it. Many know the truth but few apply the truth. Many know what is right but fail to do it. We make choices based on our needs and desires. These choices than become habits and these habits become our character. Choose today to apply your good knowledge and live life to the full. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength.

IVF

God created all things. He is the Creator and we are His creation. Medical science has found answers to creating new life. Is this ethically sound? If man can create life why need God. Man has the same ability as God because man was created in His image. This potential has problems because it puts man on the same level as God. When boundaries are transgressed problems become insoluble. Boundaries are there to keep creation in order. This order when transgressed will result in disorder. The disorder will have consequences that will affect generations to come. Meddling with creation is like transgressing boundaries. IVF is an example of man's attempt to play God. This is not a natural method but because it works it is acceptable. It has brought happiness to many infertile couples. Yet some solutions are not ethically sound. Like a slow slide down a slippery slope IVF  has opened doors to many other vices. These are ignored because of the possibility of life successes. What about the losses of embryos? This is an experiment and loss is part of the equation. Success is the goal. How does God view this? God allows this. It is not His perfect will but His permissive will. God permits a lot of things but man has to face the consequences. I want God's perfect will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In this context I believe that IVF is not in God's perfect will.

GENDER CONFUSION

Lord you made man and woman. You created them to populate the world. So what went wrong when the desires of man turned to man and woman to woman? Sin enters the heart of man and turned his natural desires into himself. He became turned inwards and all his desires became only to serve the I. We became I and the world now has become so inward oriented that it is killing itself through the process of introspection. This regressive tendency will be seen and experienced where sin abounds. Man turned inwards becomes a monster. He covers his nakedness with good things but his heart is evil. This is why Jesus came to die so His blood shed on the Cross can set us free from the power of sin. Sin reversed brings life and not death. Death works to bring destruction but life works to bring hope and deliverance from the power of sin. Only Jesus can save and deliver us from the power of death. Sin has power over you because it has the power of death. Jesus came and delivered us from the fear of death. It is the fear of death that works to bring disease and disorder into your life. Now you have the power to reverse these inward directed tendencies through the blood of Jesus.

AT ALL TIMES

Praise God from whom all goodness comes. Praise him you heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He is God and there is no other. He deserves all praise and worship because He is the only true God. In Him all things are and in Him all things have their being. I will praise Him all the days of my life. In His courts will I remain and in Him I have all I need. Blessed be the Name of Jesus who came to give us the connection back to the Father. The Father Son and Holy Spirit work together to bring about His salvation. In Him all things work together for good. His word is a light unto my path and a guide for my foot steps. In Him I can rejoice at all times because He makes me triumph at all times. He knows the end from the beginning and in Him I can rest content. Hallelujah for He makes all things new. Each new day He gives fresh manna for His children to feed on. His word is refreshing to the soul and the body. His mighty works can be seen in His creation and in your life and in the life of others. This is the God you worship, the Creator of the world. Therefore today you can trust in Him and believe in His grace to come through for you at all times.

GOD HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Man is alone without God. God is in the business of saving His people from the rot of the world. The world is lost without Him. He is the Creator of the world and without Him everything is meaningless. It is God who appoints and he decides the dates and the seasons. He is above all and in Him all things hold together. Earthquakes will come and go and so will cyclones but He holds the future in His hands, regimes will come and go but He is the final authority. How wonderful it is to be in the hands of God who holds all things together. This is the security you need more then anything else. There is no security in anything else. When you have Him you have everything you need for life. All your diseases are consumed in Him. All your lack is made up with His abundance.

POPULATING HEAVEN

Powerful forces are at work to cause you to fall. The enemy is not happy when you decide to confront him in the Name of Jesus. He hates Jesus for He made a display of him at Calvary. What the enemy thought was his victory turned out to be his damnation. Satan lost and his head was stepped on and his defeat set forth his fury against all creation. He will continue his work to steal, kill and destroy till he is finished completely. His works of darkness will be exposed and nothing can compare to his end in hell. This is why you can expect opposition at every front when you move forward in populating heaven. Souls are lingering between hell and heaven. You have the responsibility to save them from the fiery grave of hell. Eternity is there for you to rest. Now is the time to work while it is still light. Come Holy Spirit and fire me up for heaven so that I can rescue many from the fiery grave of hell. Lord change me so that I will never regress to the works of the flesh. Satan and my flesh are against me. You only are for me and in you I have perfect rest.

SENIOR PARTNER

The Holy Spirit is my senior partner. He directs my thoughts and feelings and actions. He is the author of all things pertaining to me and so I have confidence in what I do and think. He encourages me and exhorts me. He is my healer and restorer of my soul. My soul is in His hands and I am secure in Him. He is the Spirit of Jesus and He lives in me. I will never be alone because He will never leave me or forsake me. My life is hid in His hands. My mission is to make Him known so that others too may enjoy His presence in them. When I have tasted a good thing I want to share it with others. If I keep it to myself then I am being selfish because Jesus died for the whole world. His mission is my mission. He will direct me in His mission. He will order all things in my life and all I need to do is to be submitted to Him. Now I can bear all things because He is with me. He will take my pain and burden. I will do as He commands because I live to serve Him now. All these days I have lived to satisfy my selfish desires. Now I live to satisfy Him. I am His hands and feet, eyes and ears and tongue. I will praise Him always and live in His court day and night. Many will come and praise Him too and we will build a sanctuary for His presence. In His presence is joy everlasting. Praise be to the Lord.
