“And Jesus Said unto them,
because of your unbelief: If you have faith as a grain of Mustard seed, ye
shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove:
and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”Mt.17:20
Divine Favour greetings family, I welcome
you to this great month of April which the Lord has graciously declared to us
to be our month of Mountain Moving Faith.
The times have come upon us now when the faith of God in our lives would be
tested more than ever before. However, this time around it is not any kind of
faith that would be tested as much as our faith for genuine affection for God.
As a matter of fact, this is one thing that cannot be faked. The reason is that
the only authentic means of testing the heart of man is God Himself. No faith
can actually move any mountain in this way that is not rooted in a genuine
affection for God.
As the end of the age comes upon us, it
behoves the Church of Jesus Christ on earth right now to clearly define where
we really stand with God. Any sincere believer in the Lord Jesus Christ at this
time will begin to seriously question our real motives for serving the Lord.
Over time in our walk with God, we have been blessed with exceeding great and
precious promises that would enable us to become partakers of divine nature.
[2Pet.1:4 and 1Jn.2:15-17]. The question is to what extent are we taking
advantage of these kind of promises? Are we in God’s service in His kingdom for
our love for him or for the blessings of the mundane? Please do not think it
strange if you are currently facing unexplainable trials. God is currently
sifting between the wheat and tares in the Kingdom of God. For you who is
genuinely looking forward to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, this is what
the Apostle Paul says in Acts 14:22 “… that
we must through much tribulation enter the Kingdom of God.” Further,
Apostle James says that we should count it all joy when we fall into diverse
temptations. See James 1. Also, look at 1Pet.1:1-25 in your personal studies.
Thus the kind of faith that would enable the
saints of God overcome at this time is actually the Mountain moving faith.
Every faith you require for the mundane is easy compared to the faith required
to maintain the standards of God. For instance, can you dare to stand out apart
from others when the entire world wanders after the beast? [see Rev.13:3]
A look at the temptations of Jesus Christ at
the Mount of Temptation by the devil in Mt.4:1-11 and Lk.4:1-13 discloses to us
that the devil tried to entice the Lord to turn from the worship of God to Him
to get the mundane instead of retaining the worship of God to receive eternal
rewards. In these last days, many are trading eternal rewards for the mundane
in the name of worshipping God. The question is who is really getting your
worship? God or mammon. The Lord gives us a clue in Jn.6:19-25. This text will
help us all the time to examine our motivation for doing anything with God. The
truth is that you cannot get the best of both worlds. If God places a hand on
all your material possessions today, will you let Him have it? Can you give up
your all for His glory? If all that occupies you are things that will perish
with use, then your faith is very questionable and if it is taken through this
kind of test, it would fail and that is not what you want because flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Can you give up your personal ambition
and dreams of comfort for the Lord? It would take a mountain moving faith to do
this.
The good news is that Mountain moving faith
starts as a seed in us all and that seed is the word of God revealed to you.
When you take the time to nurture the word, it would grow to the point where it
would enable you to move any kind of mountain to the point where you can in
true faith enter the kingdom of God. [Lk.4:11 and Mk.4:26-32]
To this end, we shall be looking at what the
Holy Spirit will have us look at that would enable us grow in becoming more
like the Lord Jesus Christ daily. Remember, the foundation of eternal life is
Jesus Christ Himself. Any other motive for seeking God other than a true and
sincere love for Him may disqualify you except you make the necessary adjustment
within your given time. May the Lord find you ready for him as a spotless
Church without spot or wrinkle when He comes. Remember we cannot inherit the
kingdom of God by demonic means. The foundation of the gospel and the Kingdom
of God is Christ Jesus; therefore remain connected to the vine. See Jn.15:1-5.
Someone is reading this blog right now that
is yet to make the right decision. You may have been going to Church for years,
yet you still engage warlocks and diviners to divine for you; I have bad news
and good news for you. The bad news is that you are not saved as long as you
are doing that; no matter what position you hold in any Church. The good news
is that you have to get born again and make it an open thing because pretending
about it would mean all the people you had misled would be your responsibility
in which case you cannot truly be free. This gospel is not one big joke someone
is pulling on everyone; it is real and the earlier we take responsibility, the
better for us. If you want to take responsibility, you can start right away by
getting saved by saying the following prayers and getting baptised immediately
to identify with the Lord in His death, burial and resurrection so you can
start walking in the newness of life. To do this, please say the following
prayers out loud in faith:
Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on me a sinner. Today, I believe that Jesus
died for me and you raised Him from the dead for my Justification. I therefore
declare that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord and from today, I renounce the
fatherhood of Satan plus his unfruitful works of darkness and embrace Jesus
Christ as my Saviour and Lord. Thank you for this father in Jesus’ name! Amen.
