Test of Vision and Purpose.

What is Vision?
VISION IS A MENTAL PICTURE OF A PREFERABLE FUTURE. It is the ability to see the end of a thing before the beginning. In Gen 1:26, God made male and female in his own image and likeness (all of this was in God's vision, these things were not yet in the physical, they were in the mental realm). In Gen 2, we begin to see how God actually carried out his mission to translate his vision into reality. I prophesy into your life that your dream will not die. If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
We see how that there had to be a man to till the earth before seed could grow. What about the man in Genesis 1? He was in the vision realm then. God had to put adam into a deep sleep to produce Eve. What happened to the male and female in Genesis 1? Genesis chapter 1 is an account of the mental picture of the God of all creation, Genesis 2 shows us the process. God created time so that the things in the spritual can pass through the proess of manifestation. Every thing in the spirit realm is instant (Kyrus), physically,there must be a process (Kronus).

A TEST IS A HURDLE THAT MUST BE SCALED THROUGH ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS AND PROMOTION. It is a journey crossing a crucial point on the way to prosperity and progress. Failure to execute it leaves you on the side of defeat. Information is vital. The difference between you and the person you admire is that there is something the person knows that you do not know.

Twelve tests of destiny

Twelve is a number of responsibility. Any where worth going has a pricetag attached to it.

Test of appetite
When satan wants to test a man, he comes through hunger,desire. Scripture shows us two Adams- the first one already made and the second one made ready. The first had no prior reparation, the second was prepared- their results speak for themselves. The devil came to Eve and tested her by appetite (Gen 3:5). Man lost paradise because of  uncontrollable appetite. Appetite is not just food. Money, sex and every other thing that the body craves for comes under this heading. Gen 25:27-37 gives an account of the profanity of Esau, how he exchanged his birthright and future for a plate of pottage and lentils. Confess this: my birthright is not for sale!
Discipline humbles you (Deut 8:3). Control your appetite, put it on a leash. We have the power to do any thing but not every thing is necessary. You can control your appetites by knowledge of God's word (Matt 4:1-3). Temptation is not a sin till you have yeilded to it. What you know will deliver you.

Test of pride
pride is a negative self worth. It is an inner judgement that says " i am all in all". Pride is despising the place of others. Show me a man that has pride and i will show you the principal enemy of God. What you are now is by Grace (1 Cor 15:9-10). What makes you better than those in the grave is the grace of God. Before you begin to get ahead of yourself, remember that you are what you are by grace. Pride takes your position and gives it to others (Jn 3:27, 1 Cor 4:7).

The test of sex
Sex will either make or mar you. The only way it can make you is if it is done right. To get to your inheritance and fulfil God's purpose for your life is to pass the test of sex (Gen 39:5, 7,9-10). A man that knows where he is going to will not rush "opportunities" of today. Beware of the strange woman, beware of sex (Prvb 7:26-27, Judges 16 )! Ministers, be very careful with women and gifts. I know of a servant of God that lost  a 12year old ministry between the laps of a woman. She kept showering him with gifts until she seduced him and one day. Those fleeting moments of pleasure started the chain reaction that oblitrated his ministry. He got her pregnant and confessed to his wife and the church. His wife forgave him but he was thrown out of the church while his assistant took over. Sex and sexual immorality is a sensitive metter.

 The rest of this teaching will come your way next week. I hope you had a nice time reading and i hope you have been blessed. Feel free to leave your comments.

The Grace of Our Lord Jesus, the love of God and communion with the Spirit

On the Grace of our Lord, the Father's love and the communion of the Spirit in the life of the Believer. 2Cor 13:14 is a portion of Scripture quoted so often in church that the mention of it brings closing of service or benediction to mind. In this portion of Scripture which indeed is a prayer, is hidden an eternally powerful truth. It is my confidence that the Spirit of God by the will of God will shed light on our spirits as we seek the light of this truth, embrace it and apply it daily in our walk with God. It says "the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all". What a prayer! First it is seen in this prayer, THE WORD, THE FATHER and THE SPIRIT. Once upon a time, in the beginning of time, there was a convocation and in that meeting, Elohim, was there with The Logos and His Pneuma, and the result was creation. What if there is a creative mystery embedded in this prayer in the life of a believer? What ...

A case for Heavenly Mindedness.

It is often said "do not be so heavenly conscious that you become earthly useless" but I say unto you, the man who is conscious of eternity as he ought cannot and will not be earthly useless. His heart will be set on pleasing God and that means obeying God's every instruction on his life. There is no man who has so lives that turns out useless to his world and generation. Jesus didn't turn out that way nor did the apostles and every other saint whose names we mention and whose works we reference. Their contributions derived from inspiration that flowed from their following God faithfully is the light we now shine for the next generation. This systematic secularization of the church is what is standing between men and their eternal destines on the earth. We complain we do not have devoted men serving God but we preach that men should balance spirituality and secularism. It is not so in God’s word. You cannot serve two masters. You are either following God or you are f...

The Pianoist III Contd.

"Well seriously now", I continued, trying to bring seriousness back. "Our souls comprise of our will, emotion and intellect, it's the interface between the physical and the supernatural and our thoughts and attitude derives from paradigms that reside in the soul." "You wanna have me believe that I am defined by something resident in my soul?" Larry asked. "Exactly! Replied Lynn. "You are the product of thought patterns and systems absorbed from your environment. You begin to release these things you have inside as time and circumstances permit." Lynn continued. "This is what Jesus meant when he said that it is out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. He was talking about the abundance of the paradigms residing in the depths of your soul. Apostle Paul calls it 'the spirit of the mind', I said. "This still sounds spookey to me. I should be leery of you guys, you all talk like you've been hypnotised...
