Both life intentions and purpose can be rich and valuable in helping to move through the challenges life can bring us, though some will prefer on one over the other. If we find this process somewhat challenging, we might do best to focus on one first. Choose whichever feels right and best to us.

ARE YOU SALTY

What does it take to be seasoned? How would one maintain their flavor in the  kingdom? To be seasoned to be salty is to be preserved by our Savior, and forsaking all to gain all through and by following Christ. If we have one foot on the world and  one foot in the church we cannot serve two masters, we will love one and the other  hate, in turn lose our flavor.

If we were once with God and the persecution and trials tore us down to where we lost our focus and sense of path. We have lost our flavor.  And if we follow false doctrine knowing and witnessing the truth, but still continue  on a path that is not truth, and then we have lost our flavor and our way.

In Mathew 5:13 the Lord said, ” Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his saviour, where with shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

Master Prophet E. Bernard Jordan believes that when we have made the choice to live a life that directly reflects that message we bring to the kingdom, and living  what we preach, then it is us who will have the salt given to us by God. For to have flavor is to be effective in all we do in the kingdom. To be effective is to yearn to  preserve others in all wisdom, by example of walking in a way that lead others to  Christ. To be patient and bearing to those who lack wisdom and salt of their own. To be doers of the word and not just hearers.

PROPHECY THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES

Prophecy is done for the service of Christ. Its messages should be aligned with the Scripture and doctrine. The children of God were given the gift of the Scriptures to spread the Good News and we can all grow from there for the glory of God. Ephesians 4:14-16 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and from, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Biblical prophecies are from detailed study that is well organized and thought of in each word. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Prophetic words from preachers really help a lot for people who are lost in this world. They are the ones who have weak faith and sometimes do not even care of how the world works for them. Men should spread the Good, news based on the teachings of God. The duty of preaching should be something that is done for the love of God and for the faith that we have. If we do not have faith within ourselves, we cannot expect to preach and be followed by the people we are preaching for.

Each word in the biblical preaching matters as the original languages are exact that is based in the Word of God. It values historical, literal and grammar approach to the interpretation.

TAKE IN THE LONG VIEW

Throughout the book of Genesis the Lord makes his covenantal relationship known to several men. God has plans to bless and prosper the families of Abraham and his son Isaac then Isaac’s son Jacob. The Lord does not bring out his plan due to their immense godliness but instead God only seems to ask we would follow God leading. Abraham is promised descendants that would be as many as the stars in the sky. The ironic piece of course is that Abraham had no children at the time of blessing and would do his best to take matters into his own hands rather than trusting God.

Bishop Jordan believes that imagine God leading us in a particular direction and we believe a place to be at the end of this road, maybe not riches, maybe not fame, but BLESSING. As we head off in this direction none of the blessing ever comes. And maybe just tiniest foretaste of the blessing. This is the reality Abraham, Isaac and Jacob live everyday. The Lord is good but maybe not in every way we had dream of.

The Lord intends to bless us like He did with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While this may be true consider what exactly is being said when we believe we have entered into the kind of relationship the Patriarchs had with God. It is one of the blessing but maybe not in our lifetime. The Lord has promise us many things but have we ever stopped to consider whether the fullness of those could come after our life have pass?

“And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature ans escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.” (2 Peter 1:4)

A NEED FOR MORE CHILDREN’S MINISTRY

As Bishop Jordan taking a break from working on the website today, he decided to go out on the balcony and people watch. Across from him is a laundry mat for the community where he lives. He heard a loud stereo and it caught his attention, he watched the car pull into the laundry mat and stop.

While the lady was unloading her clothes to be washed, her son was out running all over. The mother went inside and the little boy disappeared somewhere. A few minutes later a little boy came in running back to where his mother was walking out from, he was screaming that another child had hit him.

The mother then seemed very angry with him and began yelling and telling him that he should have hit the other child back. The boy stood there with a frightened look on his face as his mother continues to yell at him, repeating the same thing over and over. Needless to say, this is not the correct advice to give a young child. Then I was led to wonder, how could God have made this situation better? Then the idea came to mind of “Children’s Ministry”.It is has belief that if there were a child present who attended a children’s ministry locally, that child could have stepped in and offered proper guidance, prayer, and a peaceful resolution.

He believe that child could have prayed during the incident and already had the power of God moving within them whenever they stepped in to correct the situation. This would have done more good then we all actually know or are even aware of. These children of today are not always receiving the best of lessons in life. More and more children are pushed to being violent because of the parents and of course their environments as well.

Zoe ministries can make a ton of difference and they should be at every church. Do you know whether your church has a children’s ministry? If not, there are traveling ministries that actually help you set one up at your church and train you to run it. Of course there is more than just setting one up, there is funding, attracting people, having people to work there, etc. It is still a good idea to push when everyday there is another generation being brought up full of hate and facing a lack of guidance and resources! God bless you all.

To know more about God’s purpose for you and the power of prophecy Speak to Bishop Jordan he will guide you in your quest.

THE ABUNDANCE OF GIVING

When we think about coming to church, what aspect do we look forward to the most?

Some of us might say that teaching keeping us coming back each week, some of us because of music and others believers say it might be the deep relationship with others, that they find their churches, a relationship that they cannot cultivate elsewhere. Some others might just appreciate the temporary relief from the pressure of life, work and the world.

Bishop Jordan believes that God’s word clearly teaches us that our giving is actually a direct pipeline to God’s blessing. And in fact there is two simple statements from the Lord ought to make every Christian are eager and thrilled for opportunities to give. If the Bible had nothing else to say about giving, if it was only these two promises from God, it should be still be enough to compel us to line up and give generously, sacrificially and abundantly.

As abundant as His blessing are in our life, and what we give away results in even greater blessing, this concept counterintuitive to our societies mindset, we were encourage to accumulate and save as much as we can. But His word is clear that believers are to avoid the love of money. And this promise from God is consistent with those exhortations.

“NO one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the others; you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”  (Mathew 6:24)

That does not mean we should recklessly give away everything that God’s word clearly advocates wise management of our money and if we were going to store up treasure, we ought to store it in heaven, where no thief is comes near nor does moth destroy. Give generously and count on the Lord to be generous with us.

Taking the Road Less Taken

Integrity is a word that comes from a word that means uprightness. It is not appreciated most of the time and not even rewarded. If you do the right thing just to be rewarded, it will not be considered integrity because integrity is doing the right thing even if no one is looking and without anyone knowing it because it’s the right thing to do.

Mark 8:32-36

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.” 34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever want to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

In today’s time, people often forget the presence of God and is largely been left behind from our lives. Therefore, integrity is part of our moral obligation to the society if we recognize that we are accountable to God. The power of prophecy will provide people to be guided with the teachings of the Lord. Prophetic Insights will awaken faith in each and every one of us and will build better relationship with God.

Doing the right thing only when you expect something in return makes a Pavlovian  response but if we are motivated to have integrity, we do what is right because our conscience tells us to. the way to integrity is really doing something that honors God.

Keeping the Connection

John 15: 6-10

6 If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. 8 “In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

Have you ever wondered if you have an inside connection with God? Jesus faced the cross and told His disciples, “If you remain in me, and my Words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you.” This is a connection with God that we should always honor and take care of. Have we asked ourselves why we the Lord should honor our prayers? Is it only because we are a nice person? We are better than others? No, there is no reason at all. We are all children of God and we have been adopted to His family as a result of faith in Him. Scriptures tells us this very clearly.

Galatians 4:3-7

So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental principles of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law, 5 that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of children. 6 And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” 7 So you are no longer a bond servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

We should all experience the prophecy regarding this that will be given to us by Bishop Bernard Jordan so that we can continue to live life that is perfect in God’s eyes and that we can be the children that God wants us to be.

The faith of God

Many of us experience, problems, trials, pain and sickness, and blaming God for giving us such and turn backs to our God. And also to the extent that some of us lost the will to live. God, give us problems, trials, pains, and sickness to awaken us. So, have you ever tried to ask yourself why does God allow us to experience this? There is lot of questions in our mind if we experience us such, that we might think that we don’t deserve to experience problems. God leads us to do right, but sometimes we forgot the words of God that he taught us. It is true that we people forget to put God into our life.

God operates by faith like with when God exercised faith when he creates the world. God certainly make his creations perfect, because of his faith. He never thinks that his creation will be end up for nothing. Because of his faith all of the things he created function well, the living things and none living things with their obligations and uses at the same time. The faith of God never ends and never fails to give us hope for our lives. The faith of God for with his creations leads him to do more and make things better and to be forgiven.

God showed us the essential meaning on how his faith never lost to its focus and plans for all of the things under the sun that he creates. The faith of God figure it out the all the great things he has done for everything. It is impossible to please God without faith, because our relationship with God depends on it. The God’s faith makes all of his creations worth, because of God’s faith we are here and living well in this world.

Let Our Great God Handle Your Enemies

1 Peter 2:21 “For God called you to supervise good, even if it entails hurt, just as Christ endured for you. He is your demonstration, and you should follow in his steps.”

Everyone progresses through anxious times where we are having are important with our wellbeing, bindings, currency, or work. Many times, we are amazed why we have to withstand when other ones arise to be supervising well and enjoying life. Sometimes we may wish for to take pursuit in our own hands and supervise what we look like is best to give us provisional enjoyment; though, God calls us to supervise well in all things, even if it entails suffering.

When other people lash out at us and supervise things to wound us, we may or may not appreciate the reason. Bishop Bernard Jordan agrees that we may look like wound or irate and wish for to retaliate in any way we can to make them look like the similar way we do. We may wish for to train them a communication and get back at them for what they said or did. However, Jesus held his tongue in even the least of times and received God’s good thing for his suffering.

1 Peter 2:23 “He did not retaliate when he was mishandled; neither frighten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who usually referees fairly.”

It is not usually so simple to encompass our tongues when we look like we demand to state certain thing to someone. The separate someone may be saying things to wound us. They may be lashing out in anger. They may be caused distress and taking things out on us; though, our reply should usually be a adoring one. Sometimes we demand to be firm in what we state but it should still be in love.

There are times when we look like we have been verbally misapplied by someone. We aren’t certain exactly what we did but they are taking it out on us. They come lodging angry. They progress to bed upset. They woken from snooze up mad. Nothing we supervise can be right for them. We state certain thing and they get mad. We state not any kind and they get mad. There is just no way to enjoyment them.Bishop Bernard Jordan shares this verse with you in Matthew 5:44 “But I state, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!”

Those are the times we demand to be still and pray. We demand to sanction God to work. We demand to leave from it in the hands of God. We demand to  let them vent as they supervise and understand there is certain thing deeper inside bothering them and they will converse when they are organized to. However, we may not ever appreciate why they recuperate us that way. We may not ever appreciate why we have to withstand because they are angry.

The Bible doesn’t notify us to overlook about those who are angry. The Bible doesn’t notify us to turn away from those who recuperate us like we don’t wish for to be treated. The Bible doesn’t notify us to recuperate other ones as they recuperate us. The Bible blatantly states to recuperate people like we wish for to be treated.

Luke 6:31 “Do to other ones as you would like them to supervise to you.”

It’s so so simple to just retaliate back to celebrity who is wounding you; though, as Christians we are to not supervise what is easy. We are to supervise as Jesus would do. We are to supervise as we wish for to be treated. We don’t appreciate why celebrity achievements like they supervise so we are to just love other ones when we are imperiled or when we are suffering. We demand to encompass our tongues and inquire God to make our pursuits His actions.

When we divulge to pardon other ones who are healing us incorrect and reside as God likes us to we can lead by demonstration and let other ones glimpse Jesus in us. When we leave from it in the hands of God other than taking actions into our own hands, we will become stronger. Bishop Bernard Jordan implied that when we follow Jesus’ demonstration and God’s expression, we can make a difference.

Examine Yourself if You Are Really Worshipping God

The phrase ‘worship’ was first cited in the Book of Genesis section 22, when Abraham, the dad of numerous countries, was checked by God to offer Isaac, his only child as a scorched proposing to God. Most of us when instructed to manage certain thing that are contrary to our will, we are reluctant to pursue and we habitually answer, but Abraham did not deplore, rather than he brandished exhilaration when he increased early the next forenoon to forfeit his son.

The phrase adoration in this verse was characterized as obedience to God and remainder of it suggests a declaration of faith. Let us take a gaze on the 3 distinct modes that adoration was characterized and expounded
with carrying verses from the Scripture.

Bishop Bernard Jordan agrees that worship is obedience. Read 1 Samuel section 15 and let us take a peek on the article of Saul, the first monarch nominated to direct over Israel. In this section, God solidly instructed King Saul to swab out all the Amalekites and everything that pertains to them but Saul smashed the directions and supported himself that what they took will be suggested to God. Perhaps Saul considered that God will be satisfied with his offering. But that’s not what happened. God was not satisfied because
God needs total obedience.

Worship is answering to the call of the Lord. In Isaiah 6:1-8, adoration was attractively brandished in this story. When Isaiah glimpsed the Lord seated on His throne, he became cognizant of who God is and who he is before the Lord. He accepted himself as a sinner standing before a holy God. And God furthermore likes us to adoration in that way, understanding Him more in the attractiveness of His holiness. Bishop Bernard Jordan explains that God did not display Himself to belittle us and make us seem inferior because He is a large-scale God, but to notify us that even how little we are before Him, He can use us for His glory. And that is worship. It is saying ‘yes’ to the call of the Lord after comprehending His grace that acknowledged us and cleansed us even how filthy we have been. Worship makes altered lives.

Worship is a lifestyle. It’s our everyday life! When you manage the bowls and believe that you are managing it for the Lord, you are worshiping God. When you work and heal it as managing it for the Lord, it is worship. Singing the pieces of music as our entails of adoration should be as good as managing the laundry or complying our parents, or submitting to our husbands. Worship is more than vocalizing, more than clapping of hands, or promenading on our feet when the adoration group performances the devices, it is of dwelling our inhabits in obedience to God.

To flawlessly illustrate the factual significance of adoration, Jesus became a form for all of us when He completely complied the will of the Father. He dwelled a life on soil satisfying to His fantastic Father. He conveyed out the supreme forfeit by proposing Himself on the traverse for the atonement of our sins which has conveyed salvation to those who believed. Does it signify that we furthermore require passing away on the traverse to comply and really adoration God? No. Jesus completed the work. But Bishop Bernard Jordan shares with us that our aim is to convey Him respect in all that we manage which will appeal the unsaved spirits and win them for Christ. This is
the fragrant adoration that increases to the throne of God.

 

 

At The Troubles Waters

It takes true faith to trust that God is actually going to work our struggles out for our good. God never fails and He is faithful but the silence can be tormenting as us wait on His promises to be fulfilled. The enemy will taunt us to make us doubt God’s faithfulness, but the truth is that he is a defeated foe whose only weapon is his lies.

The purpose and plan of God for our life have been settled long before we were created. Every single detail was known by God and He provided a way through every one of them. All it takes is for us to keep our eyes on Him and trust Him, but so often we forget what He has done for us in the past. The devil always has a way to make we see the worst of each situation. For that reason, we are to take captive every thought and line them up to be obedient to the teachings of Christ. He has told us that He can rescue us from any situation.

God’s has already planned in advance to supply the power that is needed for his people to climb the hills and survive the valleys in this life. There is not a single struggle we endure that He has not seen long before the world was created.

Our hope is secure and the battle is won in every area of our lives. All that we must do is surrender our weaknesses to the one who can work them all out for our good. It means waiting and trusting while the battle rages on knowing that we are victors. There is no such thing as a defeated Christian. Stop carrying around burdens that are not ours. Worry is a tool that the enemy uses to deflect the truth from believers. He can’t steal our joy so don’t just hand it over to him when problems arise.

Master Prophet believe that the fact is that God will always take us to the edge of the water so that His power will be revealed as he makes a way to cross when there is none. We need to get to the end of our own strength before we can understand the immeasurable power that God has. Weary believers need to wake up and realize that God ‘s plan for our life cannot be hindered by our impossible situation. There is never a time when He leaves us to work things out on our own. It is for His good purpose that He allows the storms in our life. God is working out a perfect plan for us that has eternal rewards.

“Save me, O God, for the waters have come up to my neck, I sink in the miry depths where there is no foothold. I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me, I am worn out calling for help.”( Psalm 69:1)
