The Grace Faith

“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matthew 6:12), and read this, “...Forgive, and you will be forgiven” (Luke 6:37). Now this makes sense to a Christian who is the Moses (Law) kind of gospel. This is much relevant to a Christian who is legalistic and a Christian who has not received the revelation of God’s grace and favour. In truth, what our Lord said to these people was good for them in order to prepare them for the transition which was about to happen. Jesus was talking here to people who were still under the law, people who were still going to the cross for their sins to be forgiven. This principle is no longer applicable today; you don’t forgive the other person because you want the Lord to forgive you. Hey...! I know it is Christ who said it, but hey it doesn’t make sense even now as I’m reading it for this covenant of grace. But for the law people, it does make sense. This time when Jesus was preaching this, it was still in the Old Covenant/Testament, so th...

I  want  to  tap  into  this  topic  because  I  want  you  to  know  your  position  before  the  Lord.  We have  been  taught  that  the  Lord  needs  us  to  have  faith  before  He  can  do  anything  for  us.  It  is almost  like  faith  is  the  barrier  between  us  and  the  Lord.  There  are  many  people  from  the bible  who  received  from  the  Lord  although  they  did  not  believe.  We  can  consider  even  the feeding  of  the  multitudes.  Anyway,  this  is  another  message  altogether  but  let  us  not  allow faith  to  be  the  barrier...

We normally see and hear prophetic ministers shouting ‘Receive it’ , and the members would be like ‘I receive it’ , with actions of their hands as if they see the blessing trying to slip away from their eyes. Before you can think that perhaps I am criticising this behaviour, we have to come to the word of God and see what it says. The reason I write about this, there is one minister who is trying to oppose this also saying to his congregation that they do not receive but they do. We all know that there is nothing to do but receive. Before again getting confused about my whereabouts concerning these argumentative ideas, let us see what our Lord Jesus said, “ Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them , and you will have them ” (Mark 11:24). The Lord Jesus did not say believe and do and you will have them, rather He said believe that you receive them. The problem that I have with some ministers is that, they see something done i...

Many denominations seem to have put aside this aspect as they believe that it is the root of all sexual impurities. While this can be true, at the end of it all we need to be happy in our love life which in fact leads to happy marriage. So by preventing church members to be in the romantic relationships also leads to the members of the body of Christ engaging in the relationships with unbelievers where these relationships will not be monitored by spiritual leader. Well, the argument they have is this, “But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Relationships normally involve romance right, where couples hold hands and kiss. Whether you like it or not, things will always get hit up and you will inevitably fall into this sin even if you did not physical get involved in the conjugal act. In order for churches to protect their church members some leaders feel that it is better not to get in...
