ATTENTION REAL CHILDREN OF GOD: Thou shall not follow the multitude to do evil. Exodus.23:2a. Dt22:5. The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God. “All that do so” God is no respecter of persons. Acts.10:34. All that God require from us as real children is obedience. It is noteworthy that not all that goes to the church that is a real child of God. Not all that carries the bible or say hallelujah praise the Lord that is a real child of God. Mt.7:20-23. Wherefore by their fruits y shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven. For many will say unto me Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never know you, depart from me ye workers of iniquity. Those who still lives in sin are not children of God. Those who disobey any part of the word of God are not real children of God. Luke.6:46. Why call ye me Lord, Lord and do not the things which I say. THE REAL EVIDENCE THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD IS UNQUESTIONING OBEDIENCE TO THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD. THE REAL CHILD OF GOD TAKES THE WORD OF GOD AT ITS FACE-VALUE WITHOUT ADDING OR SUBTRACTING. EXAMINE YOURSELVES ARE YOU REALLY A CHILD OF GOD, IF NOT YOU CAN VISIT CALVARY NOW AND YOUR SINS WILL BE FORGIVEN YOU AND YOU BECOME A CHILD OF GOD. 

 Col.2:6-10. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him. Rooted and built up in Him and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principalities and power. Luke.10:19. Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the powers of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. The believer’s authority and dominion is in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. When a sinner realizes his or her sinfulness, repents and confess them to the Lord and ask for forgiveness and accepts Christ into his or her heart by faith as Lord and Saviour his or her sins are forgiven and he becomes a new creation old things passes away and all things becomes new in his life. Such a person is given the power of son-ship. John.1:12. He receives power, authority and dominion. When we talk of authority and dominion what does it means? It is a delegated power and right to act on behalf of another person, while dominion is authority to be in control and in-charge. So then the authority and dominion of the believers is from above from the Lord Himself. He has given us the power to act on His behalf and to be in control in this world. He said whatever ye shall bind on earth will be bond in heaven and whatever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Mt.18:18-19. We can manifest this authority and dominion over Satan, sickness, diseases, negative situations, nature etc. Rom.8:31, 37. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us who can be against us? Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors. The believer’s authority and dominion is effective as long as he abides and remains in Christ. John.15:4-7. The Lord said without me ye can do nothing. Rom.16:20. And the very God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 

Revelation 21:1-8

A New Heaven and a New Earth

1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Amen !! Hallelujah !! Thank You Lord !! 

Luke.16:19-31. Today we are considering in particular this rich man’s plea to Abraham from hellfire. And from this story we have a lot of lessons to learn. (1) No condition on Earth is permanent. (2) Money, wealth and Earthly possession cannot deliver from the hands of death when it comes. (3) Every unsaved soul will end up in hellfire forever and ever. (4) When a saved believer dies he goes straight to heaven. (5) There is full consciousness after death whether in hell or heaven. (6) There is no change of position or repentance after death. Eccl.11:3. (7) The preaching of the gospel is the responsibility of the living saints’ not dead saints. (8) If a person does not get saved while alive he cannot get saved after he is dead. (9) Whosoever we are not able to reach and save on earth, cannot be reached after death and whatever opportunities we missed today may not be regained. John.9:4. (10) We should show concern and compassion for the souls of living sinners and reach them with the gospel before they die. THE RICH MAN’S CONCERN FOR HIS SINNING RELATIVES Luke.16:27-31. When this rich man died he woke up to the reality of hellfire. It may be when he was here on earth he never believed that there is hellfire. Now with the reality of hellfire the only concern he had was not his money, properties but the souls of his relatives who are still living in sin. We should learn a lesson from this rich man and know that the real thing that matters is the salvation of sinners around us especially our own relations. Rom.9:1-3; Rom.10:1-2. We should not only show concern and compassion but we must add action to it by going to speak to them about the salvation of their souls. There are a lot of people around us all that they are after is money and the things of this world and they are not thinking of the future and their salvation. Mk.8:36-37. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LIVING SAINTS Luke.16:29-31; Mk.16:15-16.The responsibility of preaching the gospel to every creature today is the solo responsibilities of the living saints. The saints that have gone like Paul the Apostle, Peter, John, Silas, Timothy, Philip the evangelist, etc cannot come back again to do it. It is our responsibilities today as living saints. Sinners cannot do it, ordinary religious people cannot do it or else they will make them double fold children of hell like the Pharisees. The angels cannot do it today it is after the rapture of the saints during the great tribulation that God will mandate two angels to come and preach the everlasting gospel. It is our responsibilities today to preach the gospel. May the Lord depend on you and me? Isaiah.6:8. There is need for every one of us (saints) to come before the Lord and lay all afresh on the altar of sacrifice and consecration to give ourselves afresh to the preaching of the gospel. If we do it, the Lord will be happy with us and great shall be our reward in heaven. Daniel.12:3. OCCUPY IN SOUL WINNING TILL CHRIST COMES. 

 Mt.6:25-34. Luke.12:22-32. Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour in these passages warned all His disciples not to yield to the life of fear, worry and anxiety. We are to live a life of faith knowing God our father cares for us. Fear, worry and anxiety rob us of joy and good health. To fear and worry or live in anxiety is evidence that we do not have faith in God. Fear, worry and anxiety never solve any problem rather it compounds problems. 2Timothy.1:7; Philip.4:6-7, 19; Isaiah.43:1-2; Isaiah.41:10-14. Judges.6:23. The Lord will take care of you therefore there is nothing to fear, just have faith in God. CAUSES OF FEAR, WORRY AND ANXIETY: There are a lot of things that triggers fear, worry and anxiety in the life of men and women. (1) Sin. Gen.3:8-10. Isaiah.33:14. (2) Threat from the enemy. 1Kings.19:1-3. 2Kings.6:15-18. (3) Necessities of life make some people to go into fear, worry and anxiety. Mt.6:25-30. (4) Whom to marry and what the future holds. Gen.19:31. (5) Job security or security of one’s position. 1Kings.12:25-27. (6) Sickness and bad dreams. Judges.6:23. (7) Personal, children and family security and safety. Judges.5:6. (8) Feeling of abandonment. Isaiah.49:13-16. (9) The presence of an enemy. Exodus.14:10. (10) Fear over nothing. Ps.53:5. CONSEQUENCES OF FEAR, WORRY AND ANXIETY: Fear, worry and anxiety leads to a lot of consequences. (1).Discouragement and frustration. 1Kings.19:1-5. (2) Despair and backsliding. Gen.3:8-9. (3) Depression and dejection. Jeremiah.15:18. (4) Disobedient and sin. 1Kings.12:27-30. (5) Disease and brain disorder. Like ulcer, skin rashes, headache, loss of appetite. (6) Disgraceful action. Gen.19:31-38. (7) Deception and lying. Gen.12:11-13. (8) Drunkenness and drug addiction. (9) Defeat and failure in life. (10) Death and destruction. 2Kings.1:1-4, 16. How can fear, worry and anxiety be cured? CURE FOR FEAR, WORRY AND ANXIETY: Philip.4:8-7; 1Peter.5:7; 2Cor.4:18; Mk.9:23; Mk.11:22; 1John.1:9; Isaiah.55:7; Hebrews.13:5-6; Hebrews.12:2; Ps.30:5. The following steps must be taken if we are going to cure fear, worry and anxiety. (1) Lay all your burdens upon the Lord. (2) Look away from the problem and look up to the Lord. (3) Leave your sins and accept Christ as your Lord and Saviour. (4) Listen and stand on the promises of God. (5) Look up to God by faith. (6) Live for God and live by faith. (7) Lean on the Lord. 1Peter.5:7-9; Ps.118:8-9; 2Cor.5:7. NOTE THAN MORE THAN 95% OF THINHS PEOPLE FEAR NEVER HAPPEN; STOP FEARING, WORRYING TRUST IN THE LORD AND ALL WILL BE WELL.

: Prov.15:3. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the good and the evil. The man or the woman who lives as if there was no God in heaven should know that the eyes of the Lord are watching them. He sees what we do both in the darkness and in the day. Jer.23:24. Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Said the Lord, do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord: Man remember the eyes of the Lord are watching you. Job.34:21. For His eyes are upon the ways of man and He seeth all his goings. Ps.33:13-14. The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. From the place of His habitation He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. Hebrews.4:13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. There are people who claim that they are atheists and they say that there is no God. Ps.53:1-3. Would such people know that God sees our thoughts, actions, decisions and lifestyles whether in secret or open? That God will eventually bring everything into judgment. Eccl.12:14. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. Hebrews.9:27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Dear face book friends and all, examine yourself, repent of your sins and come to Jesus for forgiveness and pardon, and then will you pass from condemnation to justification. Rom.8:1-2. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus; who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. John.3:16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. THE EYES OF THE LORD IS WATCHING YOU. COME TO HIM TODAY, COME BELIEVING, COME TO JESUS LOOK AND LIVE.

: Pro.18:21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Pro.13:3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Pro.15:23. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it! The tongue is a great gift from God. The way we use this gift will determine whether we will be happy or sad in life. You can be blessed or bleed depends on the use of your tongue. The bible said life and death is in the power of the tongue, joy and sadness is in the power of the tongue. 1Peter.3:10-11. Good use of the tongue brings life and blessings while bad use of the tongue bring pain and sorrow. James.3:1-12. Pro.18:6-8, 21. Pro.10:6, 13.14, 18-22. A lot of people today are going through real suffering in their life and marriages because of the use of their tongue. Other people brought upon themselves untold hardship through the wrong use of their tongue. Many of the children of Israel were not able to make it to the promise land, because of the wrong use of their tongue. The wife of David who was the daughter of Saul the first king in Israel became barren all her life because of the misuse of her tongue. And so many others in the bible who lost a lot in their life because of misuse of the tongue. We need to beware the way we use our tongue. CONVERSION AND GOOD USE OF THE TONGUE, Mt.12:33-37. It is genuine conversion that brings a change both in our character and the way we use our tongue. After conversion there is need for you to consecrate your tongue to the altar and bring it under control through the grace of God. Also apart from conversion we need to go to the Lord and be really sanctified and our heart made pure and holy. A holy heart will make a wholesome tongue. COUNSEL FOR PROPER USE OF THE TONGUE, Col.4:6. Pro.15:1. The Lord is giving to every one of us the counsel to how we need to use our tongue. We are to use our tongue: (1) To bless God. (2) To speak righteous words. (3) To bless others and not to curse. (4) To preach the gospel. (5) To pray and intercede for the salvation of sinners, restoration of backsliders and revival in the church. (6) To promote peace among the brethren and in society. (7) To sing praises to the Lord. (8) To edify and build up one another in the family. (9) To encourage others and not to discourage. (10) To counsel others on righteousness. CONSECRATE YOUR TONGUE THIS YEAR TO SPEAK ONLY THINGS THAT is GOOD AND EDIFYING TO OTHERS.

 Rom.12:1-2; 1Thess.5:22-24. There is no Christianity without complete consecration. Neither can you as a believer get sanctified with it. You must totally lay all on the altar of consecration before the sanctifying fire can come upon your heart like it happened to Isaiah. Christianity without complete consecration is empty religion without substance. Mk.10:17-28. Jesus said unto this young rich man one thing thou lackest and the one thing is complete consecration. Vs.21-28. this young man on hearing the demand for complete consecration grew annoyed and turned away in anger to his own way and the Lord said that those who lack this complete consecration will not get into the kingdom of God. But thank God what the young rich man found difficult to do Peter and the other disciples have done. Complete consecration is not difficult once there is willingness. Abraham did it, Paul the Apostle, Moses and other in the bible did it we can do it today. Gen22:1-18; Philip.3:7-10. Heb.11:24-27. EXHORTATION TO COMPLETE CONSECRATION: Luke.14:25-27; Rom.12:1-2; Pro.23:26; 1Cor.6:19-20; 2Cor.6:14-18; Rom.8:35-39; Ruth.1:16-19; John.6:60, 66-69. Complete consecration involves self crucifixion, self denial, self sacrificing, self discipline, selfless devotion and self surrender. Anyone who is looking for personal gain cannot be completely consecrated. Complete consecration means we give everything to the Lord laying everything on the altar of sacrifice. Everything includes (1) Our will. (2) Our ways. (3) Our words. (4) Our worth. (5) Our wealth. (6) Our wisdom. (7) Our worries and cares. We yield everything unreserved unto the Lord. Philip.3:7-8. EXPERIENCING GENUINE SANCTIFICATION: Dt.30:6; Eph.5:25-27; Heb.10:10,14; Hebrews.13:12-13,20-21; Ezekiel.36:25-26; Hosea.10:12; Mt.5:6,8; John.9,14-17. Sanctification is the second work of grace in the life of one who is genuinely born again. Salvation leads to forgiveness of sin and new creature in the life of the penitent sinner. After salvation then he comes back to the Lord for the removal of the Adamic nature from the heart of the believer. Sanctification makes us to possess the very nature of God which we lost in Adam. Without sanctification the bible said no man shall see God. Christ died on the cross of Calvary to provide sanctification for the believers. When it happens there are clear evidences that are seen in the life of the sanctified. EVIDENCE OF GENUINE SANCTIFICATION John.17:17-23; Acts.2:1; Philip.1:21. 1Thess.5:23-24. The evidences of genuine and entire sanctification are (1) Inward and outward freedom. (2) Supreme love for God and His word and His will. (3) Oneness with all true believers. (4) Inner rest and perfect peace. (5) Integrity and Innocence. (6) Pure love and pure motive. (7) Un-pretended faithfulness and trustworthiness. (8) God’s honoring ambition. (9) Freedom from selfishness and self will. 

God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don't make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won't be made. The Bible says, " There are different kinds of spiritual gifts.... different ways of serving...and different abilities to perform service. Your abilities are the natural talents you were born with,but all our abilities come from God because before your creation He planned and shaped you with your abilities. bible says," You shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb" (Psalm 139:13).
God given some people the ability to make a lot of money. Moses said to the Israelites, " Remember the Lord your God for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth. people with this ability are good at building a business, making deals or sales, and reaping a profit.If you have that business ability, you should be using it in God's glory. How? First , realize your ability came from God and give Him the credit. Secondly use your ability business to serve a need of others and to share your faith with unbelievers. Third, return at least a tithe(10 percent) of the profit to God as an act worship. Finally, make your goal to be a Kingdom Builder rather than just a Wealth Builder. So every abilities can be used for God's glory. Whatever you do , do it all for the glory of God. In same way St. Peter said, " Your abilities were not given just to make a living ; God gave them to you for your ministry. St. Peter said," God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God's many kinds of blessing."

1Cor.2:9-12; Hosea4:6. Gen.2:16-17; 2Peter.1:3-4; Rom.3:23-26; Rom.5:15, 16, 18; Rom.6:18, 22; Rom.8:1-2; Ps.51:12; 2Cor.11:7; Rev.21:6; Mt.10:7-8. Ignorance of God’s free gifts have kept a lot God’s children poor and in bondage when they ought to be free. They are weeping when they ought to be singing tonight God will set you free from ignorant and you will begin to enjoy God’s free gifts for you. What are some of these free gifts? (1) Gospel message and sound teaching. (2) Justification and salvation from sin. (3) Sanctification and purity of heart. (4) Holy Ghost baptism and power from on high. (5) Healing and healthy. (6) Deliverance and total freedom from oppression. (7) Provision and complete supply of all our needs. (8) Protection and preservation from all evil. (9) Peace of mind and satisfaction. (10) Eternal life and mansion in heaven. RECEIVING GOD’S FREE GIFTS: Isaiah.55:1-7; Mt.11:28-30; Isaiah.1:18-19; Job.22:21-25; Mt.7:7-8. God’s free gifts include giving you rest. (1) Rest for your soul. (2) Rest from trouble. (3) Rest from your enemies. (4) Rest from worry and anxiety. (5) Rest in the storm. (6) Rest in righteousness. (7) Rest in sleep. To receive God’s free gifts is very simple it will only take you just three steps. A. O. B. A-Ask in prayer: O-Obey His words. B-Believe His promises: A-Accept Christ into your heart by faith as your Lord and Saviour. O-Obtain His forgiveness through genuine repentance and confession: B-Believe on the Lord and thou shall be saved. RETAINING AND ENJOYING GOD’S FREE GIFTS: Gal.5:1; 1Peter.2:16-17; Joshua.9:22-23; Acts.22:28; Acts.27:25; Rom.6:7, 18, 22. Remember there is no eternal security carelessness and sin will make you to lose the blessings of God and his free gifts. We therefore after we have received the free gift of God it very important that we guard it very seriously. There are three letters you need to note they are A. D. C. A-Appreciate it. D-Defend it: C-Commit yourself to holiness.
