THE VALUE OF SPIRITUALITY

TOPIC: THE VALUE OF SPIRITUALITY

SCRIPTURE: Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28.

NOTE: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.

Spirituality is an indispensable necessity for life and destiny. The greatest need of anyone is the need for true spirituality. The most essential needs of man are spiritual needs. When the spiritual is handled, the natural follows. Therefore, a person must give crucial attention to his/her spirituality more than all other things in life.

Now, let me give three things that spirituality would produce in the life of a person:

I) SPIRITUALITY IS DOORWAY TO RESPONSIBILITY

Every true spiritual person is a responsible person. A spiritual husband, father, employee, or employer is a responsible person. To know God well is to do things well. Nothing refines character like spirituality. The closer we get to God, the more like Him we become (2 Corinthians 3:18). Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.

II) SPIRITUALITY SHARPENS MENTALITY

The closer to God we are, the more like Him we think. No one can be closely related to the Almighty God and behave like a fool. Distance from God is distance from sense; disconnection from God is impartation of stupidity.

III) SPIRITUALITY IS DOORWAY TO RELIABILITY

The closer people get to God, the more reliable they become in their character (Daniel 6:3). So, the limit of spirituality is the limit of reliability, and reliability is foundation for authority. Your spirituality will provoke your reliability and your reliability will establish your blessing.

THE VALUE OF SPIRITUALITY

1. Love: Love is a central value of spirituality in the Bible. Jesus himself said that the two greatest commandments are to love God and love your neighbour as yourself (Matthew 22:37-40).

2. Compassion : Compassion is another important value in the Bible. Jesus was known for his compassion towards those who were suffering, and he taught his followers to show compassion to others as well (Matthew 9:36, Matthew 25 :35-40).

3. Humility: The Bible teaches that humility is an important virtue for spiritual growth. Jesus himself demonstrated humility by washing his disciples' feet and ultimately sacrificing himself for the sake of others (John 13 :1-17, Philippians 2:3-8).

4. Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a key value in the Bible, and Jesus taught his followers to forgive others as they have been forgiven by God (Matthew 6 :14-15, Colossians 3:13).

5. Gratitude : The Bible teaches that gratitude is an important aspect of spirituality. Christians are called to give thanks in all circumstances, recognizing that everything comes from God (1 Thessalonians 5:18, James 1:17).

6. Generosity: Generosity is another important value in the Bible. Jesus taught his followers to give to those in need and to use their resources for the greater good (Matthew 25 :34-40, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7).

7. Faith : Faith is a central component of spirituality in the Bible. Christians are called to trust in God and believe in his promises, even when circumstances seem difficult (Hebrews 11:1, Romans 8:28).

8.Communion : In the Christian faith, the blood of Jesus is a symbol of redemption and salvation and has spiritual significance for believers. The Bible teaches that through the shedding of his blood, Jesus made a way for believers to have their sins forgiven and to be reconciled with God.

The concept of spirituality through the blood of Jesus is rooted in the idea of atonement, which is the reconciliation of humanity with God. According to Romans 3:23, all humans have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and the penalty for sin is death Romans 6:23. However, because of his great love for humanity, God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins, so that through faith in him, we can be forgiven and be made righteous.(Matthew 26:26-28)

When believers accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they are said to be redeemed by his blood. This means that they are forgiven of their sins and are given new life in Christ. The Bible says, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace" (Ephesians 1:7).

Spirituality through the blood of Jesus is also about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in believers. The Holy Spirit is seen as the presence of God in the lives of believers and is given to us as a gift when we accept Jesus as our Savior.

The Holy Spirit helps believers to grow in faith and to live a life that is pleasing to God.

These are just a few of the values of spirituality emphasized in the Bible. There are many more that could be explored as well.

Beloved, my counsel is, develop your spiritual roots in God and let it reflect in the way you live.

Remember this: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity.

HOW DO I BENEFIT FROM THESES VALUES:

1. Decide to maintain a life of high spirituality.

2. Endeavour to always accept responsibility.

3. Be reliable in everything you do.

4. Approach life with a solid mentality.

PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace for quality spirituality. Help me, to be responsible and reliable in everything I do, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF JUNE 2021OUR MONTH FOR A PROPHETIC WORD

 

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF JUNE 2021

OUR MONTH FOR A PROPHETIC WORD

 

Bible verses: 1 Corinthians 14:3 , Isa 40:31, Isa 43:2, Prov 3:5-6, 2 Cor 1:3-4, Isa 41:10, John 14:27, John 16:33, Ps 27:1, 2 Tim 1:7

 

By the Special Grace of God, we are privileged by God to see this new and 6th month of the year 2021. Congratulations to us all.

 

My beloved, 2021 is a challenging year, and as soon as the year began we have recorded all shout of unbearable incidents and occurrences, some amongst which is the increase in deaths due to coronavirus, Natural deserters, floods, wars, Kidnapping of Children and killing of Children, etc. some of the happenings were predictions and Prophecies that were giving by God’s Servants around the globe and we are seeing them happing and manifesting.

 

We all see these things becoming real, we are enveloped by an atmosphere of fear and discouragements thinking all is over and that there is no way forward, but I want to announce to you reading these words this 1st of June 2021 that all is not over with your life, just as these prophetic words are manifesting for nature, nations, Business, world economy so too is a PROPHETIC WORD that will manifest from this month for your favour.

 

Despite the ways things are on reality or in the spiritual realm, it is possible that your life will make a meaning and be a source of testimony to others. It doesn’t matter how your life is presently, what the Lord is looking at is your glorious destiny.

 

The issue is that today many people are not ready to follow prophetic directions/instructions but they want a prophetic word. For example, when Elisha met the old woman in the time of famine, he gave her an instruction and a direction to follow which made her survive the famine.

 

Just as Elisha did, I am going to share with you some prophecies for this month of June 2021 that will break all forms of failures, captivity and limitations in your life and this year 2021.

 

Frankly speaking, everyone has a purpose to fulfil in life and in order to fulfil your purpose, there must be a special prophetic word or declaration to you from above. God can use any anointed servant of God to fast track your destiny through prophesy.

 

In addition, Prophetic words are as powerful as prophetic instructions and prophetic directions. Why? Because the book of Amos 3:7 said,” Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.”

 

A lot of people have been going to churches to receive prophecies. It is very unfortunate that the prophetic words are yet to manifest in their lives. Immediately, they conclude that God has no agenda or word for their precarious situations.

 

Do you know some prophetic words takes time to manifest? Any person operating on prophetic instruction with strong believe and practice go very far as much as people who are faithless.

 

Jesus met a man who was born blind and He gave him a direction and an instruction which brought about his healing (John 9; 1-8).

 

We can also see in 2 Kings 5:1-7 when Elisha gave a prophetic direction and instruction to Naaman the Syrian to go and wash in the River Jordan and he received his healing. The anointing of God in prophecies has the power to change lives overnight.

 

God has anointed some men of God to release the seed of our prophetic words. When a man is blessed, the man carries the grace of God that disgrace demons and releases him to supernatural breakthrough.

 

This month of June 2021 prophetic declarations are loaded to bring good tidings and perfection in our lives. I also decree that every hopeless situation in your life will be over, in Jesus name!

 

Despite the ways things are on the reality or in the spiritual realm, it is possible that your life will make a meaning and be a source of testimony to others. It doesn’t matter how your life is presently, what the Lord is looking at is your glorious destiny.

 

Hold on strong this month of June 2021, don’t let the devil lie to you, remember God loves you and he wants the best for you.....

 

Your past and present prophecies will surely manifest in the name of Jesus.

BUILDING A GENERATIONAL ALTAR BY GIVING.

 #SUNDAY 30/05/2021

BUILDING A GENERATIONAL ALTAR BY GIVING.

The great question is to know how we can build an Altar for the next generation by giving? and when we talk of giving what manner of giving are we talking about?

Looking into Luke 8:1-3 on the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, we name it successful because Jesus had people who followed Him and understood the principles of faith and works. (James 2:14-26) for faith without works is dead.

Today we are limited in our blessings because our faith is not backed up with works.

The primitive Church grow and saw its members blessed because they understood the principles of Faith with works (James 2:18)

Their faith had works and they saved the Lord and in the house of God with their substance.

The 21st-century church is loaded with too much grad and limitation as many of us have no understanding of saving God. many of us today have not experienced any encounter with

1)- Jesus Christ

2)- With the Word of God.

3)- With the Holy Spirit.

4)- With the Baptism of Water and Fire

the lack of relationship between us and God has kept the Church of today into what I may call captivity, this has totally destroyed the Spiritual Sensitivity of many Christians today including many servants of God. For the desire of self, many Christians had created relationships with men of God, fearing them and placing huge values on them, (don't get me wrong) which doctrine has nothing to do with the word of God or again the Gospel of Jesus Christ. but focused on their daily needs and not the needs of the kingdom. (Jeremiah 23:32).

These are some of the reasons why the generational altars raised based on purity, true doctrine, the baptism of the word and fire, and giving in substance can not speak for this new generation of Pastors and Christians. for our altars are covered with self, grad and the strange fire, as well as immorality and imported gods.

Child of God this is just to draw your attention to the fact that you need a perfect relationship with God more than with your pastor. get me clear and loud without any apology (Genesis 4:5). serving God with our substance without a pure heart, and a holy lifestyle God will not bless us that is the Limitation of today's church. but I have faith as stated in Hebrews 13:8 if we could have a clean spirit and a holy lifestyle our substances will be approved by God and His rain shall be poured on us and the things they testified for can also be our portion in the name of Jesus.

Taking into consideration John 14:12, we can do better works today as well as perfect our giving in total submission and respect to our Lord God. (Genesis 4:7).

From the days of Abraham, Isaac, Isreal, Moses, and Joshua, just to list a few, we have testimonies of men and women in the faith who saved God and the Church with their substance and raised generational altars for them and their entire families and nations as well as their Church communities. (Matthew 26:13) (Mark 14:3-9)

The book of Matthew 1:18-25 is the sweet story of a man called Joseph.

Joseph was physically a poor carpenter but the earthly father of the Kings of Kings, this was not by chance. Joseph had accepted to let his wife mary, the mother of Jesus to be conceived of the Holy Spirit. Remember that in Luke 1:34 Mary responded to the Angel that how can this happen when she knows no man. the Angel of God upon hearing this immediately the Angel visited Joseph and tabled the matter to him and he accepted the offer and became the father of the Kings of Kings.

Note this: UNTILL YOU SECRIFACE THAT WHICH YOU HAVE TODAY TO GOD AND THE KINGDOM. YOU WILL NEVER REFLECT THAT WHICH HEAVENS PROJECTS YOU WILL BE.

Joseph's capacity to be known or to be great was not in his physical abilities and knowledge but it was based on his faith in God and his Spiritual Sensitivity. by which he could relate with angelic beings.

Elizabeth on the other hand allowed her womb to be used of God and she changed her story from a barren woman to the mother of a man Jesus described in Luke 7:28. The is no man born of a woman greater than a John the Baptised.

In 1 Samuel 1-20, we are told of the Woman called Hannah whom the bible described to be the wife that was loved by Elkanah but that the Lord had short her womb. it took Hannah Spiritual Sensitivity to be able to connect to the divine needs of the church and the kingdom. How is that? there were three needs at Shiloh, First, the Church needed a priest, Secondly, God needed a servant to release Eli the priest and Hannah had her personnel prayer point she needed a child (1 Samuel 1:9-13). For years God shut her womb but when her Spiritual Sensitivity introduced her to heavenly realms she told God give me a son and will give you a Priest, I don't know what you have, I don't know what you carry, and I don't know why you womb is shut but you need to present your womb, God needs a Priest and Your womb can conceive a son for that request.

Hannah raised a generational altar by giving be God and the lord rewarded Hannah 1 Samuel 2:21.

One of the greatest needs of our church today are men and women who can stand before nations with their influence and works to give honor to the body of Jesus. as we end with the man JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA. This man stood on his own using his influence and works to stand before Authorities to request the body of Jesus Christ. and used his land for our Lord to be buried. ( MATTHEW 27:57) can you stand to honor the body of Jesus with your works? your substance?

Yes you are not only giving your substance to save God but you are building a Generational Altar that will speak in your life and for your generations yet unborn (Matthew 26:12-13)

Remember JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA is mentioned as one of Jesus' disciples though he came from a group of people that persecuted Christ and His Gospel. but he did not stand with them he decided to change the story of His children and Generation. You too can do it today. (JOHN 19:38)

THREE THINGS WE CAN LEARN FROM JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA

1) - DONT FOLLOW THE CROWD:- Joseph had a faith in Jesus and was considered a disciple. This happened despite his being a member of the Sanhedrin, who were, as a group bitterly opposed to Christ. However, Joseph held to his belief in Jesus and had faith in Him despite his surrounding. don't allow you surrounding to negatively influence you when it comes to giving to your God.

2)- FOLLOW JESUS:- We don't know how vocal Joseph was in his opposition to the Sanhedrin regarding their actions towards Jesus. But he was against their plan. However, we do know for sure that Joseph risked everything in asking Pilate for the Body of Jesus. (Luke 9:24)

3)- TRUST IN HIS TIMING:- Joseph probably had no idea the days or weeks before the crucifixion of Jesus that he would be able to be the one to honor Jesus' body by burying Him according to the customs. yet when the time came he stepped out in faith. While the twelve disciples of Jesus were all scattered. Joseph was in the right place and the right time, Mary the mother of Jesus was in the right timing, Hannah was in the right place and the right time.

You may be worshiping with us here today you are in the right place at the right time. you may be on Facebook or any of our social media platforms following this message, I want to announce to you that you are in the right place at the right time, but you need to be Spiritually Sensitive to identify the needs. remember in Shiloh there were 3 needs and Hannah was sensitive to identify them all.

YOU MIGHT BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME TO ACT FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST. IT MIGHT NOW, IT MAY COME TODAY OR EVEN NEXT WEEK, NEXT MONTH. BUT THE POINT IS TO BE READY. FOR JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, THE OPPORTUNITY ARRIVED AND HE STEPPED OUT. WHAT OPPORTUNITY AWAITS YOU?

SHALOM SHALOM.
