Meeting Jesus


2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.


What comes to mind when you think of heaven, is about the mansions, the glory of heaven or the person of God? If it's only about the other things then you are missing out the main gist of the matter. The main point about ceasing to live here on earth is being with the most important of all God. 


Heaven is not heaven without God. Dwelling with Him will satisfy us more than all the other pleasures we shall meet there. He's the central part of our satisfaction. Nothing else will matter when we are with Him. When we meet Him, we shall know all things even as we are fully known. Think about going to meet a friend of yours and you actually don't get to see him yet you are given a very good reception. I don't think your joy will be full if you happen to go back without having met him. It's also weird to go and enjoy the reception more than the host. It's today that people go out and are already occupied by their gadgets instead of blocking off distractions to commune with the people they have gone out with. If likewise you go to God in prayer and all you talk about are the other things besides enjoying fellowship with Him, then your missing out the main thing. Meeting God will be the main point of heaven. It's like eating a cake, the icing is good but the main part is the cake you need.


One of these days we are intensively doing evangelism but I always love the way I introduce myself whenever I get a chance to talk to a stranger. "Hello I am so and so, and I have come to talk to you about Jesus." If I don't tell the stranger about Jesus, I will have wasted their time. I unashamedly introduce Jesus in the picture and I always love the response I get. People actually smile whenever they hear that name, Jesus. 


Jesus is our message, He is our Life and our everything. Jesus is the darling of heaven we long to meet in person, hallelujah.

Justified by faith

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: God has made us right with Himself. This is extremely good news because we could not measure up to His standard of righteousness portrayed by the law.  Most religions including some who profess Christianity advocate for a "do right and be right with God" kind of relating with God. This puts the burden of salvation upon the performance of the adherents to such religions. On the other hand true Bible faith, says believe right and then be made right with God independent of your actions. All this is because of God's goodness who wants all to be saved whether they have any previous morally good life or not. If you really get a revelation of this you would burst for joy and rejoice in what God has made you instead of what you can do for Him, hallelujah! It all starts with faith. If you believe you are justified or are forever made just before him, it affects your life in a certa...

When a heart(soul) heals

Many hearts are wounded, broken, sick, depressed, bleeding but when the heart of a man heals, they start to live again. That man starts to blossom, to dream again, to shine brighter and to love again. Psalm 34:18, But the Lord is close to the broken hearts, to the wounded, frustrated ones, He is always there. Surprisingly many people are broken hearted and they don't know what to do. Because of the failure they have experienced before, they face shame and as a result they choose to hide themselves. Some end up committing suicide since they feel hopeless and their dreams beyond reach.  If you happen to be in this situation first and foremost you need to forgive yourself, release that anger and let go of the past. Secondly you need revelation of your identity in Christ. If you aren't born again, you need to first surrender to Jesus as Lord. God is more willing to heal your heart(soul) and your story than you do. All He needs is our consent and cooperation. Let go and let God.  T...

A year of good things

Image
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Years represent new seasons. Every season God has a specific word for us His children that we need to run with. When we run the year based on that Word, our results will be evident. In this season as the Streams of life and Nations churches God gave us a word through our Father Bishop Gerald Mwebe that we are going to have good things.  Last year 2025, was a year of great grace. This year God prophetically is giving us good things. One of the good things He has already given us is the gospel. The gospel is the message we preach and live by. We need to realise as believers that we have a message which will touch lives not only in this world but for eternity. The gospel is not only for non believers but for nonbelievers also. Many believers all they hear are the curses that follow them from the past generations....
