Mockery of the Crucifixion

Matthew 27:

Blatant Mockery of the Crucifixion

Will not be unpunished

Matthew 27:29-31
And mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

Do Not Forget the All-Mighty God
If we forget God, Satan will rule

Philippians 3:
Enemies of the Cross of Jesus Christ
(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:

There are Consequences for any type of Abuse!

We will find people in every organization, group, family, whatever the setting who hold power. Some receive a position because of association, family, trade or by whatever means. The problem with some of those who hold power is that they abuse their authority even though they have power. An individual may have power, but limited or no authority to exceed their power. Still, some would even dare to do so. They are in the church community, principalities, rulers, in high places, in all areas of government, family, and the work place. The problem at times is that those who do not understand the use of power, and even if they do, will blatantly abuse their boundaries. Let us bring to mind a few who are listed in the Bible:
*Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel 3-4. This man abused his power and in the end, he paid for it by humility and his acknowledgement of the only One and True God Who has ALL power.
*Jehoram who killed his brothers and paid the price for his murderous behaviour, II Chronicles 21:1-4 - God saw his evil deeds.
*Herod thought he could kill all the babies in his attempt to kill Jesus. Even as an adult, Herod planned to kill Jesus (Luke 13). Herod really thought himself to be mighty and powerful. While he spoke, God's vengeance was upon him (Acts 12:21-23).
So, you have power to act in any way you choose, and to abuse anyone whom you desire to harm. God is watching, and He has a day to respond to all those who abuse their power and authority. Which one of these persons do you represent?
Psalm 50:21, "These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thought that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.

God's silence is not an indication of overlooking evil!

PERSECUTED BUT NOT FORSAKEN

Persecuted BUT not Forsaken

II Corinthians 4:8-11

This passage serves to remind believers that even though we will be or are persecuted, we are not forsaken. There are many believers in Christ who are being persecuted in multiple ways, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and so much more. Nevertheless, we are reminded that even as they hated Jesus, we too will be hated and mistreated. Let us all be encouraged to persevere and not lose heart. We still have a better home awaiting us even though our outer man perishes.
Brothers and sisters, let us be strong in the Lord. Know that He is with us in every situation, although it may not appear to be so. Jesus is with us and will never leave us alone (Joshua 1:9).

That I May Know Jesus

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him,
and the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death;

Knowing Jesus should be uppermost in the mind of every believer. There is a difference in knowing Him, and knowing about Him. To know Him means going the way of the Cross. It begins with self-denial, presenting our bodies as living sacrifices before Him and allowing the Holy Spirit to renew our minds. God wants the best out of us, and we must be willing to surrender to His will.

Do you want to know Jesus? Give your heart to Him today and He will come in and abide with you as you surrender to His will.

A System of Hate and Destruction

Job 41; Isaiah 27

The Bible speaks of an unknown creature in Job 41 called the leviathan. Its structure is made up of scales which are tightly compacted so that nothing can penetrate them. In comparison, this vicious world organized system is so well-planned that only God can destroy it [Isaiah 27]. This group of elites which spreads itself in all areas of life; the church, world governments, regions, nations, and whatever and wherever it finds access, will move in and take over. It is a well-organized destructive and hateful system. It is a vicious and voracious spirit which controls the lives of those who yield themselves to its allurements: power, wealth, greed, pride, godlessness, hate and all manner of evils. The way of life for its members is to ignore God’s Commandments, and to treat moral laws are as dust....

THE DESTRUCTIVE SPIRIT OF PRIDE

Proverbs 16:18
“Pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Obadiah 1

Pride is one of the most despicable and destructive sins mankind has ever known. It is displayed in presumptuousness, with lack of concern regarding how it affects others or the outcome which it brings. Pride is extremely costly to the one who has been enchanted by its spells and who has been captured by its powers. There is no question, pride will eventually lead to devastating results because it gives a false sense of security of being invincible. The individual displays intense resentment, unwarranted anger, and bitterness towards the object of his hate and animosities.
Pride is extremely dangerous and destructive, with deadly outcomes because it has no power to deliver even its own servants. One of the weaknesses of pride is that the individual is eaten up with anger and bitterness so that he cannot forgive, or help the weaknesses which pride brings with it. Moreover, pride is a spirit which defiles the individual, and those who are involved with that person (Hebrews 12:15).

MISTAKES PARENTS MAKE

A child's behaviour is the reflection of the structure of the family life, the culture, and principles, and the moral and Christian values which they use to govern their attitudes and behaviours. Children learn from the home environment what they see in their parents. Admittedly, they also learn from their surroundings which are part of their natural upbringing. Those learning experiences are significant to their moral and spiritual development. The atmospheric backgrounds and life exposures in which children are allowed to be active and creative will be the guiding principles as they develop and grow. This will be their chart for making all kinds of life-fulfilment and life-changing decisions. Therefore, if the learning experiences are negative and unproductive, the result will be obstruction or destruction to their progress and success in life. They will certainly make mistakes and behave unseemly, causing pain and disappointment to themselves and problem to those around them. 

THE COST OF TRUE DISCIPLESHIP

TO BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT

1. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit?
2. How do we know that we are filled with the Spirit?
3. Is it speaking in tongues?
4. Is it being able to pray loudly, more, or longer?
5. Is in our giving, church attendance, doing good works?

To be filled with the Spirit, is evident in the kind of life which we live. In Acts 2:4, the people spoke as the Spirit directed them. Everyone, whatever the ministry, must be controlled by the Spirit; otherwise, that person is working in the flesh. Being filled with the Spirit is a continuous daily experience through submission, meditation, worship, and praises to our King. These include fasting, praying, reading, studying, and application of the Word of God to our lives to remain strong.

Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

True success comes from obedience to the word of the Lord. Outside of this is chaos, disappointment and all manner of discontent.

TRUST GOD AND DO NOT GIVE UP ON HIM

Are you willing to trust God despite what you may have to go through to remain faithful to Him? God will never fail, no matter what the circumstances maybe or how long they prevail. Trust God to bring you through all your trials, tests, or whatever you are facing. 

If you have confidence in God and your faith is active, you will come out as Job did even loving God more. This will not be for what He gives you, but because you have learned to trust His faithfulness to you by His Word.

JESUS WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU. TRUST IN HIM FOR 2023

Every year there are people who make New Year's resolutions. During the course of the year, some of those good intentions never materialized. Still, even when we have failed God, He is always ready to forgive us. Why not trust in Him for 2023 and leave the past behind. God loves you and He will always help when you come to Him in faith.

YOUR BODY - GOD'S TEMPLE

I Corinthians 6:15-20 and II Corinthians 6:14-18.

Your body is your responsibility to protect. Despite this, your body belongs to God.
It is the temple of the Holy Spirit if you know Jesus and allow Him access to your life to control. 

Healing Hurts from Abusive Relationships

We hope that this program will help those who have been hurt by others, and who are still harbouring emotional pains from unforgiveness and other emotional toxins in the heart. 

There are times when we think that God does not care about us. We pray and it seems that our efforts are in vain.
God is always near and He is listening to your prayer because He cares about you. Try Him today and see what He will do.

PRACTICAL GRACE - 1

God gives us grace to help us in the Christian pathway. We are to ask for this great element which we need to help us as we await the coming of the Lord. The belief that once saved means always saved  is a myth and not true without you doing your part. It means you must separate yourself from the world and live a life which is pleasing unto God; but this needs grace which is given to us by the Holy Spirit. 

The Bible tells us that God made man and gave him authority in the Garden of Eden to take charge of His creation (See Genesis 1-2). Later, God saw that man was alone and needed companionship, someone with whom he could relate (Genesis 2:18, 21-25). God's intention for the couple was that they would be [one] through the union of marriage. With this in mind, we can assume that their relationship was for permanence, companionship, intimacy, communication, and procreation. This was the beginning of the family system; an institution made up of a woman and a man. This system was one of the strongest of human social formation. Having this great strength, we wonder what has happened through generations to make it one of the weakest structures in this millennium? There are groups who no longer consider God's plan to be of value, and for this reason men are excluded from "family" leaving many children with absentee fathers.

Domestic abuse occurs when one individual in an intimate relationship tries to control the other person. The perpetrator uses fear and intimidation; and may threaten to use or may actually use physical violence. Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to physical violence. I will add adultery to this definition since the symptoms are similar to the after-effects of physical abuse.
The incidence of domestic violence has become one of the most prevalent crimes against women causing some to lose their lives.
Although a small percentage of men do experience domestic violence, statistics have shown that women are the most reported victims.
Domestic violence occurs in all cultures.

If you believe that there is a problem in a relationship even if you cannot identify the situation, you should first pray for revelation so that you do not judge. In the Body of Christ, we must endeavour to always maintain unity of the Spirit according to the word (Ephesians 4:3).

Informing the individual will be first step for creating an atmosphere of unity in the relationship, family, group or church. Sometimes, there is really a problem where someone, maybe you committed an offense, and this infraction caused a break in the relationship. It is important to choose the right time and place for discussion, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide and direct your steps in finding out if there has been a problem.
Matthew 18:15-17; Matthew 5: 23-24.

1. In both Scriptures you, are instructed to approach the other person. Reconciliation requires obedience to the word of God and His standards for maintaining fellowship; and expressing love and compassion toward the other individual. Not only do we see these instructions in the New Testament, but also in the Old Testament [Leviticus 5:15-18; Numbers 5:5-8].
2. If you are at fault, or whoever is at fault, acknowledge this with honesty without blaming others for your mistake or behaviour.
3. It is very important to acknowledge the wrong or fault before trying to fix the problem [James 5:16; I John 1:9].
4. It would be worthwhile to show sincere sorrow and repentance when you are at fault [Psalm 51:16-17; II Corinthians 7:9-10].
5. When you have both discussed the matter, the next step is forgiveness because reconciliation cannot take place before forgiveness is sought and given. This must be from the heart with a desire for the offender not to repeat the behaviour, or the offended not to mention it again to cause pain.

When you have caused or someone has hurt you, do not pretend that nothing happened and hide your feelings in your heart. This behaviour is deceptive, and you will be held captive in bondage of unforgiveness. Do not coerce the other individual to accept your forgiveness if he or she refuses to do so. Nevertheless, you have the Christian duty to forgive even if the other person professes the same belief. You are not the judge. Therefore, leave all into the hands of the Lord. Leave with a clear conscience and a right spirit.

Psalm 20:7-8
Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

The only hope we have which is steadfast and secure is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Everyone and everything else will fail. Do not put your trust in mortal man who fails. He is insecure and unsure of himself. When you trust in God, your hope is sure, and He will never fail.
Chariots and horses, they will fail. The chariot of riches, fame, and people are changeable and transient. Horses get old and die [people]. Where will you be you then? Who will help you?
Society and those who rule and govern will make all kinds of promises, which in many cases they cannot fulfill. They lie; and like you, are hoping in the same things.

Why then would you trust them? Turn to Almighty God Who is able to save you and give you a tomorrow [Proverbs 29:11]. A future which is sure and attainable.
There is nothing in this world on which you can hope or place any confidence with the expectation that you will gain dividends.
At the end of it all you will join Solomon and say: “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.” Ecclesiastes 1:2, 2-18.
All your plans may only turn out to be “vanity and vexation of spirit.” Ecclesiastes 1:14b.
At the end of your weariness and emptiness, you will realize you have lived a wasted life.

Emotional Trauma in Childhood; the second of 3 Seminars with Dr. Rubie
Dr. Rubie discusses the condition of human suffering in terms of
childhood emotional abuse.
Dr. N. Rubie
I’ve worked in public health for a little over twenty-two years. I am a native of Jamaica W.I., grew up in Roosevelt, NY, got my education in Tallahassee, FL and I currently reside in Tampa Florida. It is my earnest belief that without your health you have very little. In my quest to help people live healthier and more fulfilling lives, I have gone on a journey to better understand ‘root-cause.’ I now believe that the spirit must be well in order for the body to be well.

The first time grace is mentioned in the Bible is found in Genesis 6:8. “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.”
What is grace? What does it mean to the believer? What is the writer saying that “Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord?
How does anyone acquires grace? Why do we need grace? Is this essential to our Christian experience? These are questions which will be answered in this study concerning the subject of grace and its importance to the Christian life.

What is Grace?

Text: Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: (it is) the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Hebrews 10:29, “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under-foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”
The short answer to “What is grace” is that it is God’s unmerited favour. To leave with this answer would not be sufficient for this powerful and essential quality to the Christian life. The reason is that grace is of great significance to the true believer who wants to follow Christ. If you notice Noah found grace or received grace [special favour] from God when he purposed in his heart to obey His word rather than wallow in sinfulness....
