The Holy Spirit Is Our God Given HELPER

The Holy Spirit Is Our God Given HELPER: Stop That Concept Of SEEING Man & MAKING Man – As Your Acclaimed “DESTINY HELPER”!

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.

I believe that God uses people at various times in the past and present to fulfill His PURPOSE, and will still use people of all sorts to assist us in fulfilling His PURPOSE in order to ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM CAUSES and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. But to THINK or ATTRIBUTE that a CERTAIN individual or groups of people are to be seen or owned personally as your “HELPER” or in the words of current atmosphere in use “DESTINY HELPER” is unscriptural. Much more to be praying that such person or people will be RESTLESS, STRESSFUL, WITHOUT PEACE, WITHOUT SLEEP AND SUCH LIKES until such or they help you is not only unscriptural but very worrisome indeed of such concept or acts of PRAYERS to God in the name of Jesus. For there’s no scriptural basis for such unprecedented behavioural state, neither is it mentioned in anywhere that man has become our ANSWERS to God’s own PURPOSE in and about our life in Christ Jesus BLESSEDNESS. And such actions, concepts and behavioural mindset of owning or attributing an individual or people as our HELPERS, will not lead any in Christ Jesus to fulfil DIVINELY approved PURPOSES in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; but may satisfy the APPLAUD of men for self-gratifications, oppression and victimisation of an individual or people who refuses such inclination.

Firstly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:3, thus indicates that each Born Again child of God is BLESSED in grace potentially – meaning EMPOWERED to Succeed, to Triumph, to be Victorious, to BECOME, to Thrive, to Create, Innovate and Explore; and to be More Than Conquerors and to be an Overcomer and such likes.

Secondly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:5 and 11 thus indicates that each of us and together, who are born of God are already predestinated to become in God whatever we desired in PURPOSE to be in Him according to His will in us – 1 John 5:14-15. And Romans 8:28-30 then amplifiers that as PREDESTINATED people of God, all things have been DESIGNED of God to work together for our good and goodness because we LOVE the Lord God; and God have justified us, chosen us, predestined us and glorified us in Christ Jesus stead. And if we ARE what the scriptures says we are, how come people are still saying they are either SEARCHING for their destiny or PURSUING their destiny. And as such somebody must be RESPONSIBLE and be held ACCOUNTABLE to be their DESTINY HELPER or the HELPER to make them fulfil purpose or purposes. I have began to worry for some Christians in certain quarters whom I have seen making enemy out of people by the kind of prayers they are making, because they have assumed that they have not been helped or are not receiving helping hands to fulfill their acclaimed DESTINY, which means their labelled DESTINY HELPER is undermining them and should be cursed or maimed for not fulfiling their desired obligations or intended goals.

Someone I thought should know better sent me this message that got me wondering what has happened to the Church or is happening to Church today, and in certain quarters. The message received is this:

“There are no GREAT men, only HELPED men . . . Whatever stands between you and HELPERS be removed now . . . May your HELPER be RESTLESS today until they HELP you in Jesus Name”

I have tried to remove the name of the originator for conscience sake, knowing he’s someone notable in places and a positioned person in the body of Christ; this is to safeguard DECENCY in the Body of Christ sacred Ministry for which I am called to share and partake, and of course, truly believe God is building. Honestly I was shocked though but not surprised, because I have seen lots of such likes acts of PRAYERS going on in some certain quarters for a while now, which is very disturbing and lots are already questioning.

Am emboldened to say that such line of PRAYER or PRAYERS are unwarranted and it’s unscriptural and must not be a part of the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus acts of PRAYERS by any means. As New Creation, we ARE REDEEMED, CALLED, CHOSEN, PREDESTINED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED by God in His FOREKNOWLEDGED plan in Christ Jesus as written in Romans 8:28-30. The Scripture of Ephesians 1:1-12, thus indicates that God has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, ACCEPTED us, PREDESTINED or PREDESTINATED us, in Him to fulfill PURPOSE. And to be BLESSED therefore means to be EMPOWERED to succeed, thrive, triumph, more than conquerors, to become and to be an overcomer and a victor in Christ Jesus. It’s not only that we have been BLESSED, but have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living) in Christ Jesus stead.

And when you know that God have BLESSED you and PREDESTINATED you in Christ Jesus to SUCCEED having CHOSEN you, you need not think that any man can HELP or be your sole HELPER personified, to make you BE or BECOME what God have MADE you to be in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

God will use people to fulfil PURPOSE in our life surely. And we don’t owe or own such people to name them DESTINY HELPERS to go PRAYING that they should be RESTLESS until they come and help you. For you are your own destiny, PREDESTINED of God to become in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. It thus means, if God MADE you as said, only Him and Him alone, can HELP you or be your HELPER in fulfiling His PURPOSE in your life in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. No man is to be stationed or be defined or acclaimed or looked up to in such regards. It’s a deception of the Enemy and Cohorts to limit us and hinder us of the helping hand of God.

Therefore, let us walk as obedient children and as Christ Ambassador’s, respecting the supply that God our HELP and HELPER will generate by Himself through men to make us fulfil His will – PURPOSE- in our Life and Godly Living. It will stop all the discord, schism, acrimony and the enmity that have generated overtime as Individuals or the Churches of Christ in doing some ridiculous acts of prayers to possess people as our inheritance in the name of “HELPERS” or “DESTINY HELPERS”.

I pray God gives you Wisdom – knowledge and understanding – in the light of the Scriptures. I pray you live to fulfil PURPOSE by God in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Selah” Psalms 46:1-3.

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our INFIRMITIES (Limitations, Failures, Shortfalls, Inadequacies etc): for we know not WHAT we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the HEARTS knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:26-27.

“For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine, and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14.

“WOE to them that go DOWN to Egypt for HELP; and stay on HORSES, and trust in CHARIOTS, because they are MANY; and in HORSEMEN, because they are very STRONG; but they LOOK not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither SEEK the Lord! 2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and AGAINST the HELP of them that work iniquity. 3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their HORSES flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall STRETCH out his hand, both he that HELPETH shall fall, and he that is HOLPEN shall fall down, and they all shall FAIL together” Isaiah 31:1-3.

“Thus saith the Lord; CURSED be the man that TRUSTETH in man, and MAKETH FLESH HIS ARM, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the HEATH in the desert,  and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 BLESSED is the man that TRUSTETH in the Lord, and whose HOPE the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as a tree PLANTED by the waters, and that SPREADETH out her roots by the river, and shall not see when HEAT cometh, but her leaf shall be GREEN; and shall not be CAREFUL in the year of DROUGHT, neither shall CEASE from YIELDING fruit” Jeremiah 17:5-8.

“The Lord is my SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He MAKETH me to lie down in green pastures: he LEADETH me beside the still waters . . .” Psalms 23:1-6.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30

BLESSEDNESS – PREDESTINED TO BECOME

By Leave a Comment

BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

You’ve been PREDESTINATED in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be empowered purposefully to SUCCEED, THRIVE, COLOUR, ACHIEVE, BECOME and such likes in LIFE and GODLINESS.

“The Creator hid your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your destiny . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

Stop looking and pursuing for your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your well being. Rise up, look within and BECOME the you in you.

You have to give meaning to your inner being quest and voice. The quest and voice within you could be the most sort out Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Career, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social worker, Designer, Decorator, Salesperson and such like that your Community and your World are craving to have to sort their human needs.

Know for such there’s an unction within you to function and though your beginning may be little – small, your later end could be the answer to the quest and needs of all humans, when you give it a start – 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zachariah 4:10. Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing – the manifestation of the you that’s within you – Romans 8:19.

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for a SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS – Your DESTINY is within you. Explore and initiate it by being – creative and innovative.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. Also He has put ETERNITY (PURPOSE/DESTINY) in their HEARTS, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Emphasis Mine).

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12.

BE RENEWED IN YOUR SPIRIT-MIND

By Leave a Comment

Ephesians 4:23 “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind“

2 Corinthian 10:3-6 “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.”

 The vitality for sound mind:

  • Your mind is certainly a gateway to your life, for every event of your life is determined in the mind
  • The Church has sat on SPIRITUAL WARFARE for so long that we have lost a major battle which is called MENTAL WARFARE.
  • Every captive is first arrested in the mind
  • Your mind is the controller of your destiny. Until you are able to keep your mind under control , your life is out of control
  • As terrible as sin is, Jesus established that sin begins with a seed of thought (Matt. 5:27-30). All the devil does is to sell the thought. When you buy the thought, you become a victim of the act.
  • Nobody succeeds by chance; success begins with a thought. Nobody prospers just by effort. Every act of prosperity, advancement in life has its source in the heart.
  • Until you begin to think differently things will not be different.
  • Every positive imagination establishes you, but every human philosophy that one falls for makes a captive of you.
  • It is your picture that determines your future. It is what you picture in the spirit of your mind that determines what awaits you in the future.
  • Liberty (freedom) is established or lost in the mind.
  • Satan has no access to your spirit, knowing it is in fellowship with the Father God; but he has access to your mind. It is the gateway to your life. Therefore give no place to the devil or else he will give you a direction.
  • Every evil that comes upon Job begins with his imagination of it (Job 3:25). Every evil imagination is an express access for evil.
  • Right living begins with right thinking. Great living begins with great thinking and great success begins with great success thought.
  • Don’t reply thoughts with thoughts but with words.
  • Until your mentality is corrected, your destiny is not secured.

 Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God“
