Beloved Blessed Kingdom Brethren & Favoured Associates Of God's Kingdom @ ZION Of Heavenly Jerusalem: Holy Greetings To U All Today, In Love!
Our "Today's Scripture Quote" is peculiar, great, vital, thrilling, edifying, divinely stimulating & spiritually nourishing unto our Souls, to God's Glory & by His Grace.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
How grateful we should be that today, we have the LORD'S priceless Gift & Treasure as our daily guide, namely, The Holy Scriptures!
Nevertheless, without having even one full Bible 📚 Holy Books, the faithful Patriarchs & their submissive wives did not use the world to the full. The Holy Scriptures 🏫 admonish: "Thy Word Is A Lamp Unto My Feet, And A Light Unto My Path (Psalm 119: 105).
How wonderful to notice that @ the end of meeting with God, Moses took the Staff of God in his hand. God didn't give Moses another better Staff; it was the same Staff in the same hand, but Moses had completely submitted it to God for His use (Exodus 4: 2, 20). What miraculous powers were displayed by it!
In fact, we must first & foremost ask ourselves this important question: "Can He Use What I Have In My Hand For His Glory? Otherwise, we should let go & grasp for those things which can produce everlasting results for God. And, how much would God's Name be glorified & His Power demonstrated in our lives if we would entirely surrender whatever we have in our hands to God for His use.
💚 A MAN OF GOD BUILT FOR STORMS 💚
A man of God is built for storms. In fact, troubles make a man of God. No man of stands firmly & prosper unless he passes through God's 🎓 University of Temptations, Trials & Tears (UnivTTT). That's the Biblical Jobic 🎓 University, a practical, fiery Theocratic University where the Servants of God graduate @ God's Hands. God, indeed, Is The Proprietor, Lord Christ De Messiah is The Dean of Academics, The Holy Spirit is The Head of 🏬 Department while Satan De 😈 Devil is the Principal Lecturer.
No doubt, we are aware the 😈 Devil is also God's Agent reserved for specific purpose, being an agent of darkness. God actually had the demons bound, but uses them on specific assignments as He pleases; all knees must bow to His Supreme Authority. The Devil 😈 has been granted charge to test & try men on 🌐 earth & all people really have the challenge to pass his 📝 exams.
Prophet Moses was VIOLENT AS AN INTERCESSOR (Exodus 32: 32-33). So, we see violent Moses interceding for his brother, Aaron, before The LORD when Aaron sinned before God. He interceded on behalf of Priest Aaron: "Blot Out My Name Out Of The Book Of Life". Men & women of God have always been violent in the spiritual warfare.
Joseph told his dreams & was hated by his brothers who sold him as a slave to Egypt. Down there in Egypt, God used the Principal Lecturer, Satan De 😈 Devil to train 🚆 him in the land of 🇪🇬 Egypt. There he was posted to the Department 🏬 of Fornication & Sinful Pleasures. Thank God he understood the situation on ground. He laboured, suffered & emerged victorious out of the fiery temptations of Potipha's erring wife, "Lie With Me". God forbid! "How can I commit myself into such a grievous sin against God & against Pharaoh, my lord"? - responded the young, prudent, chaste saintly Joseph! How wonderful it would be if the Biblical young Joseph were to arise from the dead in these last days of gross immorality & teach the 🌏 world & the youths of this era & immortal adults alike what it really means to be chaste, in all moral uprightness & God-fearing, to God's Glory! ALLELUIA!! AMEN.
Everywhere we have the LORD'S different Department 🏬 Of Studies: At a time, it might be @ the Department of Carnal Pleasures, such as FORNICATION & ADULTERY or STEALING; at the other time, it might be in the Department of FIGHTING & MURDER. In all these things, the Children of God & all Kingdom Servants must prove themselves wise & morally competent, passing in all the exams. The Holy Scriptures admonish: "Flee From All Appearances Of Evil". It is thanks to Almighty God that, no matter where the man of God is, God is with him.
🏠 THE KIND OF MAN GOD USES 🏠
There is, certainly, the kind of man that God uses. Not all men or women are competent enough to serve in God's Divine Ministry. A man who serves in God's Ministry must possess His Divine Charisma, that is, the spiritual Grace, which is the capacity to inspire devotion & enthusiasm. DEVOTION in this context implies the DEEP & STRONG LOVE FOR GOD, an ADMIRATION or INTEREST IN GOD.
🔜 A MAN BORN AGAIN 🔜
A man of God is a Gift of God to His people; an embodiment of the spiritual Gift of God to The Church Of God.
The man of God must be born again. He must have secured a renewed divine life, a fresh & Godly life worthy of The Gospel of Lord Christ De Messiah. In fact, a man who is not yet born anew in the Spirit or regenerated through born-again experience in Lord Christ De Messiah is not qualified to be His Gospel Minister. Certainly, no one genuinely offers what he doesn't have. We are born again by the Divine Revelation of God; it is not a matter of mere theory; it is practical & a spiritual experience.
We must have the Holy Spirit of God indwelling us; a priceless possession of God's Divine Life, His Divine Nature in us ever before we find ourselves in the holy state of Righteousness where God can use us (John 3: 3, 5; 1 Peter 1: 23). A man of God is made a spiritual personality by 🆕 New Birth.
The New Birth takes effect when one realizes the futility & hopelessness of his sinful past & sees the need & urgency to lose an old, despised & sinful self; and to step forth as a new person, a peaceful & holy being from whom sin has been washed away. In effect, this calls for a personal decision; turning to Lord Christ De Messiah by exercising Faith in Him: we can observe how the Holy Spirit takes up residence within our 💚 hearts. Hence, we observe the impartation, the implantation or infusion of the Divine Nature of God in us & how the infusion of The Holy Spirit of God into our 💚 hearts can work to make us true spiritual Christian or Zionist Kingdom Ministers. It is in this blessed Divine state of Glory & Righteousness that God can use us.
📣A DIVINE MAN SPIRITUALLY PURGED 📣
A man must be divinely & spiritually purged; a divine man who is properly overhauled; from whom all impurities, moral & spiritual filth & defilement have been got rid of & he is currently spiritually clean, holy, righteous, divinely vibrating & radiating the Glory of God. He is made 🆕 new & alive in the Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah & iniquity is no longer found in him (2 Peter 2: 19-21). The Holy Scripture urges: "Purge away your sins..... (Psalm 79: 9). And, again it adds: "Purge them.....that they may offer unto...... (Malachi 3: 3). Read further Psalm 51: 7; Isaiah 1: 25; Ezekiel 20: 38; Matthew 3: 12; 1 Corinthians 5: 7; Hebrews 9: 14; 2 Timothy 2: 20-21 & Galatians 5: 19.
🔋A MAN OF GREAT🔋ENERGY
Surely, the Divine Ministry is a great & vital Kingdom 💼 Work meant for the vibrant & energetic personalities; not for weaklings (1 Kings 19). Indeed, the man of God must be strong, energetic, pushful or forceful. In fact, God's use of a minister depends so much on his abilities, strength or power. A powerful minister will easily & readily be used to accomplish a great work. That is why physical training is very important & required of a minister of God (Proverbs 26: 13-15).
💞 A MAN OF TOTAL SURRENDER TO GOD💞
This implies "leaving human friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. & yielding to Lord Christ De Messiah. The Lord needs absolute surrender from His Servants (Deuteronomy 8: 16).
Love so amazing, so Divine, never be satisfied with less than our Souls, our lives, our all! The man of God must be willing to sacrifice his all, including his own life, to the LORD. This, in fact, calls for DEDICATION & results to SANCTIFICATION & GLORIFICATION.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
🔽A MAN EARNESTLY SEEKING SPIRITUAL EQUIPMENT🔽
The man God uses must be spiritually well equipped (2 Kings 2: 9; John 15: 7).
This can expressed in a mathematical equation:ABIDE + HIM (Lord Christ De Messiah) = ANOINTING.
Read as: Abide Plus Him (Christ De Messiah) Equals To Anointing.
He that does the Will of God has God indwelling. And, when God indwells His Servant, he has the Anointing, which is the Spiritual Equipment, the Divine Potentials for God's use. The Holy Scripture says: "Christ In Me, The Hope Of Glory" (Colossians 1: 27)👑
A MAN PUTTING WHOLE PERSONALITY INTO THE WORK
The man God uses will be a man of total commitment. He must be a man willing to devote himself fully into the Work of God; a full time Minister & one sanctified & dedicated to the Work of God; not one forced into the Divine Ministry; or someone who is always pushed to do the Work of God, nor one who does God's Work with slackness. However, he should be one eager to do the Work with all zeal & enthusiasm (1 Corinthians 1: 24). The Divine Ministers of God are Divine Athletes & it is he that runs his race well that will receive the 👑 Crown of Glory (Hebrews 12: 1).
A MAN OF INCORRUPTIBLE INTEGRITY
The man that God uses must be a Keeper Integrity & Confidence; a man like Job of the Holy Scriptures (Job 27: 5; 1 Kings 5: 15-16). He must be willing to sacrifice his life or surrender his life, even unto 💀 death & for the sake of God; that God might use him.
A man of God must always maintain his integrity in the Lord - living up to the full expectation of God's Divine Holiness & Righteousness in Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah Who is Lord & Master. His life must be abiding keeper of his Integrity.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
✌ LIVING IN THE STATE OF VICTORY✌
The man that God uses lives but in a state of Victory (Deuteronomy (2 Kings 6: 16. He must see himself as a Victor. He must always see Victory in all he is doing, in all his life, in all he is doing. For the Christian life is indeed one of Victory. Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah has conquered the World & given us 🇻🇮 VICTORY. The Christian, therefore, is in Christ De Messiah through Whom we have definitely secured the blessed Assurance of our Victory, by our Faith in Blessed Lord Christ De Messiah.

Permit me to end this necessary & vital Kingdom Tutorial Homily with points of significance on Heavenly Kingdom Characters that emerge from our passing through The LORD'S UNIVERSITY OF TEMPTATIONS, TRIALS & TEARS (UniTTT).
First & foremost, TRIALS TEACH 🏫 US PATIENCE. Obviously, Patience is the crowning Grace of the Christian & Zionist life. Reason: When Patience has its perfect work, then we become "PERFECT & COMPLETE", lacking in nothing" (James 1: 4). We, more often than not, learn 🎓 the crowning lesson of the spiritual life from the sacred College of Suffering, in Trials & Tears.
TRIALS TEACH 🏫 US COURAGE. Evidently, Trials serve to eliminate the "Fear Of Suffering & The Dread Of Pain" as we experience God's sustaining Grace. Moreover, Trials afford us the enabling of putting STRENGTH, which invariably facilitate our warm acceptance of probable CONFLICT with all its naturally unwelcome Pains & Sufferings that eventually go with glorious Victory, which brings Glory to Almighty God.
Alleluia!! Amen.
Alleluia!! Amen.
Finally, TRIALS TEACH 🏫 US TO LOVE: For when God wants to soften & refine our Spirit or answer our Prayers for Patience & Love, He sometimes let the discipline of ill-treatment, injustice, punishment & the like to meet us in order to achieve His purpose for our good. It's interesting to observe that more often the severely evil meted to us prompt us to return back to our God for the Divine Love, which really "bears all things" & "endures all things" (1 Corinthians 13: 7).
We must admit our insufficiency in proving ourselves heroes of this sparkling virtue of PERFECT MORALITY as expressed in LOVE. Nevertheless, we have The Blessed Advocate In The Divine Personality of The Holy Spirit, our Helper & Comforter Who works in us, convicting us of our sins & weakness & strengthens us & illuminates our hearts to grasp the Divine Truths & also follow the right course in our life, to the Glory of God, by His Grace.
Thanks to Almighty God for The Holy Spirit leads us to the source of Strength & guides us daily to learn the vital lessons of our lives while He refines us constantly until we adequately grow to maturity & thereupon thank Him Whose Fire & Tears of Glory brought us to His Glory & the Grace of His Spirit & blessedness of His solemn Love whereby He can truly use us.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
