Don't deny your true self

Mark 14:60-62 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee? But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.


As Jesus was about to be killed, Peter and the disciples fled in terror. What is so interesting is to read how Peter denied having been with Jesus yet all along he was with Him! 


On the contrary, I loved the way Jesus did not fear to boldly accept His true identity as the Christ and son of God and as the king of the Jews. This was interpreted as blasphemy by the chief priests, elders, and the scribes, and they planned for His death. To Jesus, His identifying with the Father was more important than life itself. 


What other gift is there more than life? None. But Jesus did not care whether He had it or not so long as He did not deny Himself. That is where true power lies. It is a weakness to jump non one position about who you are for fear of the people. However, it is strength to stay committed to your convictions even when faced with death. I love the fact that among other accusations and questions that were hurled at Jesus, He kept silent, but when it came to what mattered most, He couldn't keep quiet. 


That should be true to us also. When it comes to your spiritual identity, which is your true identity, do not keep silent or deny it.

Mark 14:72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.

    For sure, this generation we have Christians who cannot even allow to be be put lime light because they fear the world to laugh at them and calling them backward for having identified with Christ.

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....
