God is a good God. He never take something from you without giving you something greater.
Jesus borrowed the boat from Peter and after which He told Peter to launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch and Peter got abundance!
Launch out into the deep, into something unfamiliar, and let down your nets!
Jesus came to His own and His own receive Him not.
He came unto His own things (neither female nor male), but the things, the fish, the sea, the water, responded to Him. He came to His own creation! Now Peter cannot carry the net. Peter let down the net instead of nets.
God does not answer our prayers, He always over answer our prayers! Jesus always exceed our expectation!!
In one fell swoop, Jesus makes supply to our nets!
Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just our salvation from hell or from guilty conscious. Is our salvation, our guarantee for our future! We live by the good news of Jesus Christ!!
People are teaching us methods.
When the conscience is being affected, it affects the whole being.
All things were made by Him.
Jesus existed before He became Man.
Jesus is always God. He made Himself of no reputation. When Mary was carry the Baby, the Baby was carrying the whole universe.
He made Himself empty, humble Himself and obedience to God to death at the cross!!
He had everything to be proud of but He made Himself of no reputation.
We breathe and our breath is held in His hands. If God let go, we are gone!
We have no reason to be proud. Let us be proud that we know God. The gospel of Jesus Christ!
God cannot look at people and see sin and said it is alright!
Love involve justice! Crime must be judged and sin must be punished. God so loved the world He sent His Son! On that cross, Jesus became sin for us! He was carrying our sin!! When Jesus shouted it is finished, justice has being judged and punished on Jesus!
God provided His Son as our substitute! God so love the world He sent His Son!
Now God has to impute His righteousness to us!
Gospel is about Jesus!
Jesus consumed all the judgement and shouted it is finished!!
Jesus, the Sacrifice, consumed all judgement until none left!
God raised Jesus from the dead because the same body that carried our sins came out without our sins. He has fully accepted all that Jesus has done!
It is no longer a sin issue. Jesus has taken all for us!
Be absorbed with the Word of God!
Lift up our heads, our redemption draws near!
Christ died for our sin and He raised from the dead with us!
The rapture is not the second coming. Rapture is before the second coming. Second coming is for Israel.
Jesus said I am the Bright and Morning Star. Venus is bright and morning star.
Hebrews 9:28
so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
Jesus come again not to deal with our sin. He came apart from sin bearing. It is dealt!
Jesus is coming for us! Blood moon is sign for Israel.
God used Peter, although Peter was apostle for the Jews, when he preached, 3000 was saved!
Saul became Paul.
Galatians 2:11-16
Now when Peter had come to Antioch, I withstood him to his face, because he was to be blamed; for before certain men came from James, he would eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you compel Gentiles to live as Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
Peter called Paul’s writing gospel.
We want to make sure every preacher preaches Paul’s gospel
When it comes to law and grace, there is no compromise.
Grace said i will by no means remember your sin anymore! The cross of Jesus Christ is the change!
Paul rebuke Peter in the book of Galatians. When it comes to law and grace, there is no compromise!
Acts 10:9-16
Acts 10:9-11
Peter’s Vision
The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth.
Acts 10:12-14
In it were all kinds of four- footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “ Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”
Acts 10:15
And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “ What God has cleansed you must not call common.”
What God has cleansed, do not call it uncleaned! That includes ourselves!!
Don’t be in haste.
Nothing wrong in going to the doctor.
Go to the doctor in faith. Pray in faith. It is still faith.
Medicine is a temporal measure. It is God who healed.
Being justified by faith, we have peace with God.
We are declared righteous by God.
Don’t come to God like a beggar. Come to God as a son!
Don’t call ourselves uncleaned! God said we are clean and righteous!!
God has made us righteous but we are pretending to be in humility.
As great a sinner, we cant be greater sinner than Jesus as Savior!
Why the Lord can’t tolerate hypocrisy?
When you are pretending what you are not, you can’t receive from the Lord His love.
The Lord loves u, but if you are in hypocrisy, you will feel that you are loved because of what u have been trying to do to earn the Lord’s love.
Testimony-
The lady don’t believe this is the life Jesus died for us to have defeated life.
She realized she was not living a victorious life through law and grace.
Her friend gave her Pastor Prince’s book and 2 years later, she realized the book is in her drawer. She began to start reading and receiving the Lord’s love.
She has been transformed and her relationship with her son is restored!
—–
It is a matter of declaring who we are! Look into the mirror and declare i am the righteousness of God in Christ! Something we pray and something we declare!
When we are saved yet we act like sinners- this is hypocrisy.
Unequal yoke will fall onto our shoulders.
Christians are just people. When we condemn another just people, we got a problem. It is abomination.
We need Jesus as Saviour!
What God has cleansed, don’t you dare call unclean!!
Isaiah 54:13-17
All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of your children.
In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;
And from terror, for it shall not come near you.
Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me.
Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith
Who blows the coals in the fire,
Who brings forth an instrument for his work;
And I have created the spoiler to destroy.
No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord.
No weapon formed against us shall prosper!!
God hate self righteousness! The only hope for us is the gift of righteousness!!
I am the righteousness of God in Christ!!
The most humble person is the one who said i need this gift of righteousness!!
The best thing is to receive and say thank you!!
The satan is under God’s control. God created him. No weapon formed against us shall prosper!!
All of us are guilty as charged, however once we accept Jesus, we have the righteousness fully paid for by Jesus!!
Proverbs 17:15
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
The devil condemn the just, he became abomination.
When the devil come against us, and accuse us, we can’t be condemned because Jesus has redeemed us! The devil got thrown out.
Isaiah 50:8-9
He is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is My adversary?
Let him come near Me.
Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
Indeed they will all grow old like a garment;
The moth will eat them up.
When people condemn us, they grow old and we stay young. Our enemies will grow old. Keep on shinning!! The moon can outlast the barking of the dog!
This righteousness must be declared! I believe and therefore i speak!!
Confess our righteousness in Christ and we are in sync with God and all blessings shall go after me!
Isaiah 45:23-25
I have sworn by Myself;
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every knee shall bow,
Every tongue shall take an oath.
He shall say,
‘Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength.
To Him men shall come,
And all shall be ashamed
Who are incensed against Him.
In the Lord all the descendants of Israel
Shall be justified, and shall glory. ’”
Surely! Not maybe! Surely in the Lord I have righteousness and strength!
God is holy. Because of the cross we can now declare we are the righteousness of God in Christ!!
