Hidden Treasures

For sometimes now many believers have being asking me these questions: "Does the believer have to fast"? "What is your view on fasting?", "Must we fast in this dispensation?" . These people want to know if fasting is a thing of the old or its for the new. I like good questions and these are good questions. They remind me of an argument between Kofi and Ama on Facebook: Kofi: Believers are not suppose to fast Ama: Believers must fast. Kofi: Fast for what reason? Don't you know fasting is an old testament practice? Ama: You are a big lier. Jesus says we should pray and fast. Kofi: see you, what do you know about the Bible? You are a baby, you don't study the Bible well. Jesus didn't tell us anything like that. He told his disciples to do so, and that was before the cross. We are after the cross so that has nothing to do with us. Ama: see you, stop deceiving yourself. The believer have to fast. Kofi: ok If you want to fast then go and joi...

This is a question young men and women asked me on daily basis. And the best answer I always give them is NO! Hear me out,  It is true that grace brings freedom and that includes the freedom to make poor choices, but if you use your freedom to enslave yourself to sin, then you have missed the point of grace: It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Gal 5:1) The purpose of grace is to liberate the prisoner and give life to the dead. Grace is also good news for the poor (Luk 4:18-19). So if you use grace to enslave or impoverish yourself by making dumb decisions and indulging the flesh, you are setting aside grace. You are not using it for its intended purpose. Grace liberates, but if you use your freedom to enslave yourself, what was the point? You are no better off than when you started. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more a...

I have heard people say “God is in control. It’s his fault, not my fault.” Understand that I didn’t write this to condemn any one – we’re all learning here – but to make you know that you are in control and to make you angry at Satan’s lies. JESUSE said, "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven ( He already did): and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." ( Matt 16: 19, 18:18) So, you see? Everything lies in your hands. God has no say if you have no say. Whatever you bind, He binds. If you fail  to take charge of the affairs of your life and to put things in order, God will not come down to do it for. Understand that you are the commander and whatever you command i...

The other day He went out with his friends for evangelism in a city full of highly deluded and proud people who always boast of their relationship with God in the name of ‘’their father is God’s friend and a righteous man’’. They have no idea what it takes to have right standing with God apart from keeping self-imposed rules and regulations and the believe that they are children of a man God declared as man after His heart. He always speaks in parables when he comes to these people. On one faithful day His friends asked him, ‘’why do you use parable when you talk to the people’’? and He said unto them ‘’the knowledge about the hidden treasures of the Kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. The reason I use parables in talking to them is that they look, but do not see, and they listen, but do not hear or understand’’. ‘’Wait a time Albright, is like you’re talking about Je...

What make us SAVE ( a born again)  is the deposition of the very righteous nature of God; Christ; the Holy spirit in the inside of our being. God therefore first blesses the inside of our being so that it Will break through like seed to the outside. Philemon 6 confirmed this by telling us that " there every good thing in us in Christ" Apostle Paul reinforced this thought in (Php 2:12-13). He says, "WORK OUT your own salvation with FEAR & TREMBLING; for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. My problem here is that, most ministers mistake what Paul says as a some sort of secondary approach to salvation. Paul says  "WORK OUT" he didn't say " WORK FOR" What Apostle Paul means was that, salvation is being worked inside of us until it works out of us. Salvation is a breakthrough Truth. Though it begins on the inside as the seed of Christ, it grows until it breaks out so all will see the manifestation of...

I've been asked on many occasions for my take on the above scripture, so in today's study I want us to see if we can get a clear picture of what brother Jesus  was teaching, Whether He was teaching us to keep the Law and fulfill it or He has come to fulfill it on our behalf. For me not to take much of your time, I will like to make my explanation short but am expecting you to use it as a guide to go back and study chapter 5-7 on your own. "Think not that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets.......but to fulfill it".( verse 17) Now the preceding verses were so opposed to the teachings of the scribes and Pharisees that some might assert that He was a destroyer of the law. He replies that he has not come to destroy it, but to fulfil. He does not say that he has come to perpetuate the law but fulfil it; to complete its purpose. He was the end of the law. The law was a "schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, but "after faith is come we are no longer unde...
