InSpired THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOUBT AND UNBELIEF The God of our LORD Jesus.Christ is called the Way.Maker and Promise Keeper by a world renown Iyric. But some believer and the World.at large do not believe that He is a promise keeper and that His Word who is contained in the Bible will be fulfilled as promised. Eve lost her place in God and sold her descendants to the Eny.because of unbelief. It was not a lack of faith that made brought Adam and Eve under the power of Datan, it was a case of unbelief- they did not accept as the absolute truth that God will do what he says he will do. Unbelief is an attack on the integrity of God, it is saying " God is not who He claims to be. It is different from doubt which  is been unsure of the outcome of a matter. God told Adam ' the day you eat of the fruit of the garden you will die. Satan told Eve " if you eat the fruit of the garden you will not die rather you will become like God knowing good and evil. What Satan said was not a...

He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, “Stand up on your feet!” At that, the man jumped up and began to walk.  When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have come down to us in human form!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker.  The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them.  But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out...

InSpired YOUR STOMACH OR HIS  POWER In general, Life and circumstances will test your persuasion in every biblical truth you have embraced.  Either you bargain for it or not, this test will surely come if you have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Our LORD Jesus was not left out for He sat for  His first semester examination in 'The School of Conviction of Bible Truths'; when the Enemy came to test His understanding and persuasion of Bible Truths. In Matthew 4:1 "Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil......

InSpired THE PILL OF BITTERNESS The human Soul is created for the nspeakable joy. God gave Adam and Eve a Garden of Eden that had everything they needed for their enjoyment. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer for RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND UNSPEAKABLE JOY.  Any emotions, feelings that fall short of joy unspeakable is an alien and must be fought with every iota of courage in your Inner man.

InSpired TEST OF OBEDIENCE While the Old Testament  hinges on "You shall eat the good of the Land, If you are willing and Obedient,  ( Isaiah 1:18-19, Deut 28:1-2, Joshua 1:8-10)  the dispensation of Grace and Righteousness is based on the finished work of our LORD Jesus Christ. Faith in Christ Jesus.qualifies every Believer in The Faith to receive of the bountiful blessings of the Almighty.  Because of this, some believers advocate that you don't need obedience to The Way to become all that God has ordained for you. Their thoughts are " Christ died for all so all the blessings of Christ can come to all who believe without accurate alignment to the Word.of God.  It's true  sonship is your right by faith because as many who believe are given the right of a son but also the same Bible says " as many as are led by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God.  You may have right to an inheritance and know you have right to it yet don't use that right.

InSpired BRAG NOT OF YOUR POWER! THE TEST OF POWER! The Lord anoints believers especially men and women in the Five fold ministries with power that is under their control. WHY?  The gifts and calling of God is without repentance. This means that when God anoints you with the power to get wealth, you can decide to use that wealth in disobedience to God's Word of you chose. Solomon was anointed with the spirit of wisdom and understanding and God added riches, wealth and long life  to it, because he asked for a discerning heart to govern God:s people. 1 Kings 3:9-13 During his life time, he used the wealth he gained by the power of God to marry 700 wives and worshipped, served and built altars for every strange  idols some of his wives worshipped.
