Grace IV


Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus told His disciples, 'you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free'. It is not just the truth that will set you free but the truth 'you know' is what will set you free. Many people are aware of Bible truths. Even the devil knows some truths. For example he knows that Jesus is the Son of God but that has never had any influence on him until truth becomes revelational knowledge or until it moves from the head to the heart, it will never have impact in one's life. 

Peter answered Jesus’ question of who He was by revelation. Then Jesus told him that on this rock of revelation, not Peter, will I build my church. Although the disciples saw Jesus,  they didn't see him like Peter did. That's how two people can sit under the same message, same church, same preacher but they leave church after service with varying opinions of the message. One is asked ‘how was service?’ and they respond how the sermon was good but the building felt hot. Then another person directly seated with him says, :when the man spoke, the word dropped in my heart and I will never be the same again." Preachers too ought to preach by revelation and not by merely using notes. A sermon preached by revelation and out of the heart touches hearts but one preached by logic from the mind only touches minds. 

It is thus important to study the Bible not because you are told but out of revelation. Read it until it becomes a revelation in you and personalize it. Revelation knowledge gives you an inheritance and it is by it that one gets to understand the unmerited grace and favour that was given him by God, Hallelujah.

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!

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...

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....

Jesus, the reason for the season

Image
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Jesus is the reason for the season we are in. He is the gift of God unto men. Who on earth does not like gifts and who on earth can reject the Gift of all gifts, moreover given by God Himself? Jesus cannot be rejected because He is love, He is Grace, He is Life and Truth.  In case you doubt His claims you cannot argue with everything that happens in this season. It's evidence that His claims are true. All the jubilations around worldwide and around town are because He is the joy to the world, the decorations all over the place are because He is the Light of the world, the endless traffic jams, people arm twisting themselves in the bus parks fighting for a seat in the bus to head back to the villages, the commotion in the business centre as everyone wants to grab...
