My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus greetings to you all. As I was in deep meditation and prayer and I asked God over how I am to lead and help His children, and this one thing the Father said to me that; John 13:34-35
[34]I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.
[35]By this shall all [men] know that you are My disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among yourselves].
As I heard these words I reflected on the Life of Jesus Christ whilst He was still on earth, how He was Love personified, and how He warned people in Matthew 16:6
[6]Jesus said to them, Be careful and on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
This is as it is today where some of us are not aware that this very same (Pharisee/Sadducee leaven) spirit is prevalent in certain churches where certain individuals who are leaders or Pastors/Prophets/Apostles have the form of godliness yet they deny the Power thereof. One of the greatest force or power that must be visible and not be second-guessed,  is LOVE!
Christ Jesus said, by this shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love and if you show it as I (Christ) did.
Let me paint you a picture of what Christ Jesus did and how He revealed His love which we must emulate.

1. He never segregated anyone but loved everyone openly and freely, unlike some holier than thou individual churches we see today which love a particular group of people or their own race above others. (see Matt 9:11-13). This He did, so as to demonstrate God’s grace and love.
2. He preached salvation and repentance from sin, unlike certain individual churches today that never do altar calls or preach on salvation.(John 3:5). If  Christ Jesus Himself  taught Nicodemus on repentance and Salvation with all scripture being God-breathed, why have we stopped the message of repentance and salvation on our pulpits?!
   By just the two examples we can clearly see and understand that everything that Christ Jesus did was out of love and for love’s sake.
   We are not seen to be disciples of Christ by prophesying, or how organized we are as a church, or by How powerful we preach or translate scripture, or by how much we thunder in diverse kinds of tongues, or by how many miracles we perform, No! but by loving one another purely just as Christ showed and loved His disciples. This is the utter truth!
   When all the lights and instruments go off, will you still have love!
   When all titles and accolades are stripped off, will you still outshine with love?
   True love is never assumed but is visible wherever it’s present, neither is it given the benefit of the doubt, because if it covers a multitude of sin, surely genuine love is a result or product of the ultimate sacrifices we have to make on a daily basis in order for it to be deemed legit and stand beyond the scope of time. The Bible puts it this way,1 Corinthians 13:13
   [13]And so faith, hope, love abide [faith–conviction and belief respecting man’s relation to God and divine things; hope–joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love–true affection for God and man, growing out of God’s love for and in us], these three; but the greatest of these is love.

This means genuine love never fades, dies down, runs cold, or is inconsiderate but it remains forever no matter what storm hits be it it hail or tornado, or how deep a valley might get, the genuine love of Christ in us His Sons should hold forever strong and clearly transparent for all. Don’t tell me that you love me, show it, for love is not love until it’s given away!
Let he that has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying!

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour greetings to you all. Many of us want the blessing but we don’t realise that it comes at a cost. We pray and ask the Father to bless us without realising that before the blessing there has to be sorrow just like in Jabez’s case. Listen without the pit and prison Joseph would not have been made Prime Minister. Without being sidelined, Goliath and King Saul’s pursuits David wouldn’t be made King. If you read the book of Samuel clearly you will realise that king David was tested before he was qualified to be King of Israel. He could have killed king Saul but passed the test by not touching the Lord’s anointed. What you and I do not realise is that the blessing of the Lord doesn’t come cheap, and if you want it easy then you are surely undeserving.
Watch this Christ Jesus had to endure arrest, humiliation, being beaten up, spat on, and the cross in order to become the King of Kings. The bible puts it this way,Hebrews 4:15
[15]For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

That word tempted means Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour was tested and did not fail.
&
Philippians 2:
[9]Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,
Do you see this, Christ Jesus knowing who He is, was tested by being reduced to become a man and yet obeyed in humility, and because of this He was given a name that is above every name!
And yet here you are, you want that title, you want that pay check,and you want that marriage but things like maintaining a single relationship, a simple job and enduring that boss or colleague or environment you quit along the way and think God will open another door; forget it.
Even Abraham was tested in order for him to be known as the father of faith. My brothers and sisters the blessing comes at a price. If you don’t work for it then you won’t earn it and if you do earn it proves you deserve it. Nothing is given for free. Only faith is a free gift, but with it you must put effort (work) for that faith to be alive. It is very important that you realise this truth, what you do with little determines if you deserve plenty. Some of us earn little and God watches to see if with the little you will do due diligence. You treat others badly and expect your boss to be kind to you, my friend you’re joking!
The parable of the talents was written so that we know and understand that one is given little so that they can work hard to be blessed. I remember growing up I saw a school motto that read, hardwork breeds success. All these people we read in the Bible with great achievements did not just pray and believe God for the blessing but they worked for it and earned it.
Hear me well today, the Lord Jesus Christ said anyone who quits is not deserving. So if you are one that is always complaining, always quitting, then realise that you are the problem not the environment/boss/friends.
Luke 9:62
[62]Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back [to the things behind] is fit for the kingdom of God.
If you are seeking comfortable conditions then you are dreaming and not living in reality. Without working towards righteousness you surely cannot get favour. Even so favour from God does not come cheap, otherwise if it did everyone who prayed for the blessing would’ve been billionaires by now. What we don’t understand and realise is that we have to sacrifice something in order to earn it. One way of sacrifice that we normally do is fasting thinking it moves the hand of God, no fasting is for our benefit to keep our bodies aligned to the will of God. If fasting moves the hand of God,yet the Muslims fast more than the Christians. Somebody hear me, Jacob worked hard for his wife (the one whom he truly loved) and even for his wealth and believe me his boss was unfair, yet he was faithful till he accumulated his own wealth; what about you?!
Oftentimes, we ask for God to bless us and He does it through the most unusual way and we don’t see it. That wife is the blessing regardless that she doesn’t meet 1-2-3 of your standards, that job is the blessing regardless that it doesn’t have favourable money or working conditions. Some marriages stand strong today but started off rocky, because some couples decided to put in the work. Some people are businessmen or women, managers and directors today because they worked hard during difficult times and unfavorable working conditions.
Ask yourself this, are you deserving of that life you want and if so what are you doing with what you currently have ?
There is no growth without effort, no blessing without a corresponding act of faith. In conclusion, Only faith is free, you can’t earn if you don’t work, and to earn salvation you have to work for it. To obtain grace you have to approach the throne of God through prayer and worship and this takes effort which is work on its own. If you don’t believe me even the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 2:12
[12]Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling.
God our Father never blessed and never blessed anyone who is folding hands and up to nothing.
So faith-work-effort-perseverance-righteousness = The Blessing which then produces riches and wealth, and all other material things.

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus greetings to you all. I was moved reading about a certain young man who from the age of 7 years did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Doing what is right in the sight of the Lord means, the very things you do in private without anyone watching except God alone. Now the question is, are you doing right?
When you talk about and to others, When you plan,  or you give that smile at someone; are you doing right?!
This young man did what was right in the sight of God. The major difference here is when you do certain things in the sight of men usually it’s fake, and, even if the things you are doing are wrong some people will cheer you on, but doing right before the sight of the Lord means you are righteous according to God’s standards and not man’s!
Brothers and sisters are you righteous because the Father says, in Proverbs 21:21 He who follows righteousness and mercy (love)
Finds life, righteousness, and honor.
&
Psalms 5:12 For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous;
With favor You will surround him as with a shield.
Some of us wonder why things don’t change for the good or why you’re not enjoying a good and prosperous life-your tongue might be that of a black mamba’s poison, or it could be your ill-character or bad behaviour towards someone that disqualifies you.
Listen, just as the young man at 7years who became one of the great kings of Judah, he pursued righteousness and thus enjoyed a good life, you ought to do so too.
2 Chronicles 24:1-2
[1]JOASH WAS seven years old when he began his forty-year reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Zibiah of Beersheba.
[2]And Joash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the priest [his uncle].

Just these two verses tell us a lot more about king Joash and his great accomplishments done in righteousness.
Now let us zero in back to ourselves; What have we done or are we doing which is counted as righteousness before God!
Some of us are unaware that each and everything we do is being recorded.
We have an account of king Joash because it was recorded and whatever is done here on earth is a replica of what is in heaven.
Revelation 20:12
[12]I [also] saw the dead, great and small; they stood before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is [the Book] of Life. And the dead were judged (sentenced) by what they had done [their whole way of feeling and acting, their aims and endeavors] in accordance with what was recorded in the books.

Sons of God,those books that are to be opened have records of everything you did and are doing; what will your record be like on this Great and Dreadful day of the Lord, are we going to hear that you did that which was right in the sight of the Lord or it will be like the other kings who did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. Don’t let this life fool you, you have a Maker and God who deserves sincerity in worship and this must be all our aim. Therefore let us strive, pursue after and earnestly seek and hunger after righteousness.

My fellow brethren greetings to you all in Christ Jesus’ Mighty name-Amen!

There is a level of reception you and I need to reach that will bring and usher in peace in our lives and homes.

Your reception of the servant God and the message of the gospel proves that you are deserving of the blessing of the Lord and this will usher in peace in your life, but your denial of the orator and oracles of God will remove peace from your lives.

The very absence of the peace of God means the presence of the trials and tribulations which we face on a daily basis.

Matthew 10:11-14says;
[11]And into whatever town or village you go, inquire who in it is deserving, and stay there [at his house] until you leave [that vicinity].
[12]As you go into the house, give your greetings and wish it well.
[13]Then if indeed that house is deserving, let come upon it your peace [that is, freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin]. But if it is not deserving, let your peace return to you.
[14]And whoever will not receive and accept and welcome you nor listen to your message, as you leave that house or town, shake the dust [of it] from your feet.

Clearly, as we read scripture we at times overlook vital information, like how the Father has assigned anointed men to wish others well, speak peace and remove all distresses caused by sin.

Brothers and sisters you need to ask yourself this that; are you deserving and is your household in acceptance of the gospel of the Kingdom?

Many of us miss it because we think the gospel of the Kingdom must meet all our earthly needs and liking and if not then we are unaccepting of it. We tend to choose certain things that we are comfortable with and overlook fundamentals that will bring us to a place of perfect peace. Today, I urge you brethren to hear with discernment as we  receive and accept the gospel of the Kingdom of God.

#ApostleKelvinInspirations.

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus greetings to you all. I want to encourage someone today by saying it’s not a fantasy to hope for and experience better days.

The value of our lives is seen in the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross of Calvary. So if God did not spare His only begotten Son, but chose for Him to die for our sakes, this alone proves our worth and value in His sight and Presence.

Listen here, there are better days ahead which can only be defined and experienced in and through Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. You and I need to have that confidence in knowing that in Him we move, live and have our being/existence/sustenance!

Brothers and sisters, you and I need to understand and embrace that His will for us is bigger than our thoughts and ways. Such a realisation will cause us to accept that there is goodness that the Lord will usher in if not today or tomorrow then definitely some day. If good things come to those who wait, then waiting on the Lord is a sign of maturity, wisdom and total understanding.

King David penned it down and said in Psalm 27:13-14
[13][What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living!
[14]Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.

Be rest assured that goodness and mercy is your daily dose and portion in Christ Jesus’ Mighty name-Amen!

#ApostleKelvinInspirations.

My fellow brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus greetings to you all. Now scripture lays it out clearly for us that there is a time for everything under the sun. Our problem or mistake is to think that life should be smooth sailing, yet this was never promised; Christ said, “In me you will have peace, but in the world you will have trouble!”
Listen trouble never denotes the absence of Christ and neither does the presence of Christ denote the absence of trouble!
You and I need to realise that there will surely be good and bad days, and yet life must go on.
John 16:
[33]says, I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]

Be encouraged today,for this is a sure promise amidst all the vicissitudes of life you and I might encounter, hear me, God our Father is still upon the Throne and always will be, just learn to call on Him during the dry seasons of your life and surely He will answer!

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour greetings to you all.
You might question whether God hears you or not, and you might wonder if your prayers are answered?!
Well there is a sure answer to this and we find it several times in God’s word.
Matthew 8:2-3
[2]And behold, a leper came up to Him and, prostrating himself, worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me by curing me.
[3]And He reached out His hand and touched him, saying, I am willing; be cleansed by being cured. And instantly his leprosy was cured and cleansed.

If you read here you must understand that according to the Jewish culture lepers were not even allowed to be amongst people, and yet this very leper approached Jesus and worshipped him asking for mercy and questioning whether Christ Jesus was willing to heal him.
Brothers and sisters, the only thing that is separating you from this leper is your lack of faith. If faith moves mountains this is pure evidence that the laws of physics don’t apply or match up to faith. If faith can do the impossible this proves that your inability to have heaven’s best is on your intellectual ignorance. You can never outthink God or outdo His will for your life!
Our Lord and Saviour is already willing but are you believing?
Watch this, scripture says in, Matthew 6:7-8
[7]And when you pray, do not heap up phrases (multiply words, repeating the same ones over and over) as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard for their much speaking. [I Kings 18:25-29.]
[8]Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Did you see that, when you ask, be specific and believe that you have received it. Remove all anxiety because if you are anxious it’s a sure sign that you have doubts about God and His ability. In fact the Apostle Paul writes and say, Philippians 4:6-7
[6]Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.
[7]And God’s peace [shall be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

So get rid of all anxiety and know that no matter what situation you are faced with, God our Father has already ordained a solution.
Again scripture says,Hebrews 11:6
[6]But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

So my brothers and sisters my underlying question and conclusion is this;
Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is willing, are you believing?!

ApostleKelvinInspirations.

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour greetings to you all. I hear these words clearly; There is always a Word sent out for you as a form of defense, healing, uplifting, promotion and salvation.

Here is the catch, the Word of God only comes in response to a request because He said, ‘do not be anxious of anything but in everything with prayer and petition make your requests known to Him.’
I want to encourage you somebody through the Words of Jesus Christ, that if you ask surely you will receive, if you seek you will surely find, and if you knock the door will be opened.
Psalm 107:20-21
[20]He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction. [II Kings 20:4, 5; Matt. 8:8.]
[21]Oh, that men would praise [and confess to] the Lord for His goodness and loving-kindness and His wonderful works to the children of men! [Heb. 13:15.]

Hear this, the word is already sent out for you; the answer is already waiting for your asking, and the solution is already reachable through your prayer!
If faith comes by hearing the word of God, then surely answers come by praying to God.

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour, greetings to you all.

One of the greatest hindrances we face in our lives is fear over circumstances. If our hope is built on nothing else than Jesus’ blood and righteousness then surely we will be more than conquerors.

Today as I reflected on the word of God I saw and realised how often we sing certain songs that don’t even hold value in our lives; let me explain this. In the morning time I saw how we sing the song, “The blood of Jesus, shall never loose it’s power”, and the song, “there is power, power wonder working power in the blood of the lamb…”. No matter how spiritual we sound deep down to reality we don’t believe what these songs and others that speak of victory through the blood of the Lamb are concerned about!

Psalm 42:5 says, Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence. (Berean Standard Bible)

4 things are mentioned here by King David.

1. Situations/Circumstances will come that will make your soul downcast or sad.
2. You will at sometime be gripped with fear and be unsettled within.
3. Trust in the Lord in all circumstances.
4. Get ready to testify of the goodness of the lord through praise.

So today I want to encourage someone by saying, your current circumstances are not the final outcome, neither are they permanent because the Word of God shows us that we will pass through the valley of the shadow of death but we must not fear any evil, because He who promised and whom you believe in is faithful. In trying times keep the faith, and in pressing moments prepare a praise-dance for salvation is guaranteed for you and me through Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour-Amen!

#ApostleKelvinInspirations.

My fellow brethren in Christ Jesus our Lord. I have seen something under the sun, we as believers are the most fearful people on earth. Oftentimes we fear what we really don’t know and we succumb to the deception of what we call reality versus the reality found in the word of God.
Ask yourself this, how much do you trust and hold on to all that God has spoken and promised in His word, versus your  circumstances.  Do you believe and walk by faith or you are  rather more conscious of what you see. What is more real to you, is it your circumstances or the word of the Lord.
Brothers and sisters if Christ Jesus spoke through His word and said, Luke 18:1
[1]ALSO [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up); This means that Christ Jesus knew that things that causes people to faint are there, they exist, but what is more real and of a more blessed assurance is the ability to stand in prayer because it is through prayer that solutions and victories are given.
You need to ask yourself this, what is your mind and heart telling you amidst what you are going through right now, is it in line with what our Heavenly Father has spoken through His Word or it is all based on how you feel or perceive your situation.
Make the right choice, and believe God no matter what you might be facing, for it is written,Hebrews 10:38
[38]But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him. [Hab. 2:3, 4.]
Walk, Live, Breathe, Eat, and Sleep in faith!
