FLY ABOVE THE EARTH

Image
“…and fowls that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven” (Gen. 1:20); fowls are also known as bird as covered with feathers or wings. And these fowls may fly above the earth, they shall go beyond the earth, that we may go beyond the carnals to the open firmament of heaven. We are made supernatural; above the naturals yet we have brethrens in Christ who are still living in the things of the flesh, they are conformed to the things of the world. We are expected to fly above the earth to the spirituals. Our place is not here on earth, our place is not to stay where we are and remain carnal—we are alive, not creatures without life, so we must move. Our place is in the firmaments of heaven. Christians do not live by flesh and blood, but by the spirit.Let us fly above the earth, let your light shine and cover the earth with the light. The primary root of the word “fly” from the Hebrew language is “to cover—that is with wings or obscurity”.The obscurity here is with the meanin...

WE ALREADY HAVE

Image
Many Christians have a desire to do something for God, but often that desire never progresses beyond their initial thought. Although they are excited about what God has put in their hearts to do, they can’t figure out how to turn those dreams and ideas into realities. All too often, Christians don’t take any action toward fulfilling their dreams because they are waiting for something to happen. They are waiting for someone to help them or for a minister to prophesy to them. They believe that when this outside intervention manifests, then they can move to the next step. They don’t realize that they already have what they need to get them where they want to go. They are already furnished in abundance for the next step God has for them. We see this in Second Corinthians 9:8: “ And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to ...

MOVING CREATURES

Image
We have moving creatures and non-moving creatures. Recently we here of a creature and all we think of is a monster--Something fearful to encounter. But coming down to scientific level—because we are above the science of this world—a creature is somebody or something created. If I create a car, the car becomes a creature (creation) whether living or not. To create is to bring something into existence. This time God created creatures that has life; moving creatures not stationary. “ And God said let the waters bring forth abundantly moving creatures that hath life, and fowls that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven” (Gen. 1:20). From the original Hebrew translation, creature is an active mass minute animal; they are active animals that move. They don’t act timid to circumstances, they move. These swarm move in water. We understand that movement in water is slower than on dry land. Yet they move, irrespective of the water current they still move. Obstacles should no...

WALKING IN THE GREATER LIGHT

“ Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differenth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all. But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world ” (Gal. 4:1-3). When we become Christians, we are born again as babies in Christ. Even though we are babies, yet we are still heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:16-17). That means that everything that belongs to God is our inheritance. Now with this kind of inheritance we are not waiting for God to die before we come into possession. That’s because we are joint heirs with Christ. Jesus Christ the first born already owns everything that belongs to God (Jn. 16:15). We believers are his younger siblings (Jn. 20:17) and the Bible declares that we are Joint heirs with Him. That means the entire estate is as much our as it is Jesus’. Yet how many of us are actually appropriate even millionth of thi...

THE GREAT LIGHTS

Image
The fact that someone prays in tongues does not necessarily mean he is spiritual, likewise a brother manifesting the gifts of the spirit does not denote that he is more spiritual. Many have in mind that the fact that they don’t speak in tongue, they don’t have the Holy Ghost in them. Not manifesting your spiritual gifting does not means God is cheating on you. It is good to have role models to ignite your spiritual growth, but that does not mean you are a fool. In fact, the books and sermons of our fellow Christians are there to make us spiritual giant on earth than them. They share their faith and revelations just to come to know Christ more. Why? Because Christianity is not selfish; our nature is to love, therefore we share. It is also true that we have matured Christians and immature Christians. Immature Christians are carnal, or body-ruled, Christians. Paul told the Corinthians, "For ye are yet carnal ..." (1 Cor. 3:3). One translation of this verse reads, "You are...

FRUIT AFTER HIS KIND

Image
“And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herbs yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit aftter his kind, whose seed was in itself, after his kind, upon the earth: and it was so.” (Gen. 1:11) is the very word of God. We notice that, there are two “yielding” in the above word of God, but they aren’t the same. The first “yielding” is “ zârả ” pronounced as “ zaw-rah ” which means to conceive while the second one is “ ’ âśâh ” pronounced as “ aw-saw ” which is from the root word “ to do or make ” that is to produce (Hebrew words). God said, let the dry land spring out grass and herds yielding ( zârả) seed; grass means newness, it means green, it means sprouting. It signifies a newly germinating plant, a newly growing leader, a savior. Plants are very significant on earth even physically; they are the major source of food. He said let the earth liberate out grass to shine, the meaning of the herb there is to glisten; which means to shine. We are being born aga...
