Heart of the Wise

  I will tell of the Mercy of the Lord: Mercy in Salvation.  How He forgave and overruled my sin, although I was sore burdened by it, sorrowful and grieved at the memory of it; yet He obliterated it. I deserved to be judged but the Lord showed me Mercy. He chose to forgive my sin.  The God of my salvation counted me righteous and blameless before Him, and passed over His judgment on me because of the shed blood of His sinless Lamb who died in my stead (place).  It pleased the Father to do this: to save me from His Righteous Wrath and Justice.  To redeem and reconcile me back to Himself. Salvation belongs to the LORD.  It is the work of God. It is to the praise of the Glory of His Grace. Hallelujah! To God be the glory. 

  INSIGHTS & INSTANCES I have been instructed, impressed upon to cry out against religious deception and wickedness. Not necessarily that they will stop their deception but that some of their sincerely deceived victims will hear and be warned, and also as a witness before all that these things were said: I have seen this wickedness in religious organizations. Prayer topics and prayers sessions have become gossip topics and gossip sessions. Brothers betraying brothers and sisters betraying sisters .  Pastors who are spiritually ignorant and immature leading huge congregations. The souls of seekers being used to play “inter-church” sports for caricature and recycled exploiting of people. (Pause and ponder) The spiritual, social, economic and emotional pains, struggles and challenges of people (either financially, maritally, physically and morally) are used to make gist, make jest, ridicule, confuse, manipulate, enslave and take undue advantage of them. Conversely, the beneficial and

  "For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake will find it [that is, life with Me for all eternity]." (Matthew 16:25 AMP) Physical death or demise is not the worse thing that can happen to a Christian.  In fact, it is not even a bad thing for a Child of God. Not at all.  Truth is, it is the beginning of limitless life in the realm of timelessness where Reality resides.  Where the spirit is set free from the limitations and degradation of the natural, earthly and perishable body and awaits the resurrection unto everlasting life and reception of the glorified, heavenly and eternal body. Death means "without life or cut off from life" but ultimately means "separation from God".  Death is a result of sin , which is falling short of God's glory, holiness, mark or standard. "The wages of sin is death." But there are essentially three kinds o

Satan hates God. Satan hates the Gospel because the Gospel brings eternal salvation to mankind.  Satan hates anyone who preaches the True Gospel because they are turning and taking men from death to life, from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan into the Kingdom God.  Satan hates this with all he is and all he has.  He completely condones false gospels and encourages busyness and preoccupation with spiritually empty religious activities. He sponsors the exaltation of self-centeredness and the hero-worshipping of man, which are subtle and deceitful forms of idolatry and hypocrisy .   Infact, he creates false gospels and false religion to divert ignorant and gullible seekers from Christ to seeking after and worshipping self, that is to follow the self-will, which by extension is following Satan himself, but done in the name of God. This is a most dangerous deception in much of mainstream or popular Christianity . Little or no dying to self.  Much serving and idolizing

Satan, the Old Serpent, is the true albeit invisible head of the false churches.  They operate with his principles, ideologies and modus operandi.  Namely: The satanic and demonic laws of power (fear, control, domination, subjugation, dependence-craft, slavery, blackmail, intimidation, manipulation, witchcraft, sorcery, deception, lies, falsehood, luring, baits, flattery, partiality, secrets, confusion, mystery, enigma, false impressions, false packaging, hijack, reputation-craft, perception-craft, spying, attention-craft, dark psychology, bewitching, isolation, ostracising, traps, threats, fraud, theft, murder, destruction, lawlessness, wickedness, ruthlessness, heartlessness, godlessness).  Namely: The spirit of mammon (god of money, materialism, wealth, riches, idolatry of prosperity, vanity, flamboyance, affluence, showmanship, obsession with material success).  Namely: The worship of self (idolizing of man, hero worship, glorifying of men, self-glory, ego, selfishness, pride, g

Don't get too close to people who don't like, trust or respect you. Also, with people who are dishonest or who take you for granted. Why? You'll be exposing yourself to the unnecessary and avoidable risk of emotional, physical, social, financial or religious abuse. And you'll be wasting your time and theirs. Be bold and tell yourself this truth: you're really not friends.  Authentic friendship is symbiotic, mutual, reciprocal. Be nice and good to them from a distance but don't bring them into your close circle of friends. Don't assume anything, especially not friendship. Be sure. You see, people use social media for different reasons. It could either be for ethical or unethical business and social networking.  So, some people are looking to get clients, to promote a product or service, to get popular, to share personal or general information with their social circles, to get their message to the world, to connect with old and new friends, etc. Def

A person who helps haughtily or haphazardly, or who gives grudgingly, or in a way as to expose or dishonor the one he is giving to is not really giving to help but to ridicule and reproach the one he is helping, to massage his own ego, to hype himself in the eyes of the public as one who is helping the other fellow and to earn the praises of men, thus chasing clout. Such a person serves self not God in such giving.  This is vainglory and vanity. This giving is not acceptable to God. It is not a sweet-smelling savor to God. True giving is an act of worship to God.  Like Cain’s offering, it is not regarded by God but rather rejected by Him.  Not all giving or offering is acceptable to the LORD.  Be careful and mindful how you give.  Be conscious of the God who are giving to. Recognize this verity: you are nothing and you have nothing that He has not given to you.  Honor God in your giving.  Give cheerfully and render help to others in all humility and godly attitude. It is a privilege to

As long as you are genuinely worshipping and walking with God in spirit and in truth, no one has the right to use your sin against you to undermine your faith and to mortgage your conscience when you have genuinely confessed and repented of them, for then the LORD God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, the Everlasting Father who is Faithful and Just has "forgiven you of all your sins and cleansed you of all unrighteousness".  It is Satan who is "the accuser of the brethren (the believers)" . It is godless and satan-serving people who accuse believers of past sins. Anyone who uses sins that have been forgiven by God and cleansed by the Blood of Jesus Christ against a child of God is belittling and insulting God. They don't know what they are doing. They are spiritually blind and ignorant.  The devil and his cohorts many times instigate to incriminate, they stir up offenses or set traps of different types of temptations so that they will have a seemingly legitim

  "And you yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church fellowshipped with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone.  For even in Thessalonica you sent a gift more than once for my needs.  Not that I seek the gift itself, but I seek the fruit which increases to your account.  But I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus  what you have sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God.  And my God will fulfill all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.  Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.  (Philippians 4:15-20) We don’t give to God as an act of gambling to multipy our money. We give whether any expectation or promise of greater returns works or not. We give authentically when we give in love for God and people, with  revelation knowledge  or understanding of the blesse

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]." (Romans 8:37 AMP) More than conquerors.  Beyond conquering. More than champions. Winning  before warfare is ever conceived.  Before the conquest, victory is assured. Proclaimed winner even before the enemy has even thought about fighting you much less devised any strategy to fight you.  Overcomer from the foundation of the Earth.  In life and in death, in sickness and in health, in time and in eternity, God has elected the One New Man in Christ to be conqueror and overcomer in all things.  From lifeless corpse to resurrected body, a victor after the order of the Resurrected Christ. By the Eternal Decree of His Majesty on High! Angels and  demons cannot tamper with His Will. “Forever,  His Word is settled in Heaven.” Bodily death is swallowed up in the Resurrection. Selah! The gift of life everlasting is the greatest blessing of all b

  Sometimes what seems to be a weakness to the undiscerning eye is simply an inverted strength. Hidden within certain adjudged imperfections are powerful underlying riches. A shortcoming may actually turn out to even be a saving grace or serving girdle.  As the adage goes: “Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.” A similar saying captures it in more spiritually profound terms: “Man’s disappointments are God’s appointments.” These are potentially far-reaching blessings and benefits, or areas of strength, locked up in seeming vulnerabilities.  I will outline three below. 1 - Overcoming Offenses : The laidback, mellow and tolerant nature of not fighting back when triggered. The refusal to, or restraint from, reacting aggressively to acute hostility or deliberate provocation.  Unethical opportunists and criminal minds may take advantage of this trait in others to defraud them, thinking they can get away with it.  They don't know what they are doing to themselves by choosing to

Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: “The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues, the greetings in the marketplaces, and the title of ‘Rabbi’ by which they are addressed. But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself

  I'm grateful to God for Satan, and for false religion, false friends and true enemies.  He used them remarkably to bring great help and honor on my life in a very unique and profound way.  If only they knew how their wickedness would greatly profit me, they would not have done it to me, but they don't know "Anything": for what can blind eyes really see? (Let the one who reads this understand).  I'm tempted to thank them and give them roses, but it wasn't their intention to edify or glorify me as their works indeed did. "They meant it for evil but God..." How shall these blind see The Way? (Let the one who reads this understand).  Many human beings have killed fellow human beings without conspicuous or visible weapons such as guns, knives, poisons, fights or direct altercations.  They steal, kill and destroy with stealth and sleight of hand by sabotaging, supplanting, stopping or sitting on, underating or undermining the provisions and opportunit
