  • Psalm 32:1-2 KJV
    "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. [2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile."

    Hallelujah!!

    That is the believer's state of right standing with God.

    By the grace of God, because of our faith in Jesus and his "finished" work at the cross, we are not only blessed with already having all of our sin debt washed away in the blood of Christ (our transgressions forgiven and sins covered), but also we enjoy a continued blessing going forward of God not counting our iniquities against us. We are forgiven, and we continue to be held in a state of sinlessness.

    Such blessings are not due to our performance. They are due to God's mercy and grace.

    2 Corinthians 5:18-19 KJV
    "And all things are of God, who 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation."

    Daring to Dream.

    It’s good to have goals - something we want to achieve and strive for, but it’s also important to enjoy the time leading up to the moment we actually achieve that goal. It’s very easy to become so goal-oriented that we don’t enjoy the special moments we spend getting there. Setting goals for ourselves can be stressful - worrying whether or not we can accomplish such a feat, and the embarrassment of failure. But we can avoid all the unnecessary stress if we first present our goals before God and ask for His blessing. We need to know if our goals line up with God’s goals for us, because when “our will” becomes “God’s will,” we have nothing to worry about! We can trust that everything will turn out the way God wants it to! God knows our strengths and weaknesses, and even more importantly, He gives us everything we need to accomplish “His” goal for us. There is one goal that all Christians should have, and that is our heavenly goal! So go ahead, dare to dream, challenge yourself, and set realistic goals - just be sure to consult with the "Master Planner” first! Text: 2 Corinthians 5:9, Psalm 20:4, Jeremiah 29:11

  • Let's talk about it.
    ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED — A DANGEROUS DOCTRINE

    The statement “Once saved, always saved” sounds comforting, but if it is understood to mean that a person can never fall away from Christ regardless of how they later live, it contradicts the serious warnings of Scripture.

    Jesus said, “He that endureth to the end shall be saved.” — Matthew 24:13

    Why would Christ emphasize endurance if salvation made perseverance irrelevant?

    The Bible repeatedly warns believers about falling away:

    Hebrews 10:26–27 — deliberately continuing in sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth brings fearful judgment.

    1 Corinthians 10:12 — “Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

    John 15:6 — Jesus warned that branches that do not remain in Him are cast forth and burned.

    Revelation 2:10 — “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”

    Matthew 24:13 — “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

    Biblical salvation is not a license to live in rebellion. Grace forgives sin, but grace also teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts (Titus 2:11–12).

    We are saved by grace through faith—not by works—but genuine faith produces obedience and a transformed life (Ephesians 2:8–10; James 2:17).

    So the issue is not whether God is faithful. He is. The issue is whether we will continue abiding in Christ.

    Don't let a false sense of security replace watchfulness, repentance, faith, obedience, and perseverance.

    “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10

    Eternal life is promised to those who continue in faith and faithfulness to Christ.

    Amazing Love

  • The Kitchen Newsletter

    Good day,
    Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

    Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

    What does God look like?

    It is a simple question, but Scripture gives us an answer that is far more concrete than we often realise.

    The Bible calls God invisible. Yet Scripture also tells us that the invisible God has made Himself known—not merely through ideas, doctrines, or written sentences, but through a Person.

    John, on the island of Patmos, saw Him.

    “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…”

    And what John saw was astonishing: a figure with a head and hair, eyes, feet, a voice, hands, a face and a mouth. John was describing the appearance of Jesus Christ—the living Word of God.

    Revelation 1:12–17

    This is why Scripture says:

    “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.”

    Hebrews 1:3

    And again:

    “Christ, who is the image of God.”

    2 Corinthians 4:4

    So we can say:

    The Body of the Word is the image of the invisible God.

    The Scriptures Reveal a Person

    This changes the way we should read Scripture.

    We are accustomed to reading the Bible primarily as a collection of words, teachings, commandments, promises and historical accounts. But Scripture itself tells us that the Scriptures testify about a Person.

    Jesus said:

    “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”

    John 5:39

    The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about God. They testify about Jesus Christ, the living Word.

    Consider one example.

    John saw the eyes of Christ and wrote:

    “His eyes were like blazing fire.”

    Revelation 1:14

    That is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.

    But Scripture also says:

    “Our God is a consuming fire.”

    Hebrews 12:29

    The description of the Body therefore becomes a revelation about God Himself.

    The same principle runs through the Scriptures: the details of the Body of the Word testify about the Person of the Word and reveal the invisible Father.

    Paul writes:

    “God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”

    2 Corinthians 4:6

    The “face of Christ” becomes a point of revelation—the Body of the Word revealing the invisible God.

    Scripture Must Be Unfolded

    This is where something particularly provocative begins to emerge.

    What if the Scriptures are not simply information about God, but the Father's script for revealing Himself?

    Psalm 119:130 says:

    “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”

    Psalm 119:130

    The Word must be unfolded.

    We can read a Scripture without necessarily seeing the revelation contained within it.

    We can know the sentence without knowing the Person whom the sentence reveals.

    That is the difference between merely reading Scripture and receiving revelation.

    The detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore not decorative language. They are scriptural descriptions that can be unfolded to reveal the Father.

    Paul describes this revelation as:

    “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.”

    2 Corinthians 4:6

    So the purpose of the unfolding is not simply to give us more biblical information.

    It is to give us the revelation knowledge of the Father.

    The Body of the Word: White Like Wool and Snow

    Consider the description John gives:

    “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.”

    Revelation 1:14

    This is a detailed description of the Body of the Word.

    But John is not alone in seeing this.

    Daniel saw the Ancient of Days and wrote:

    “His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.”

    Daniel 7:9

    Then Song of Solomon gives another description:

    “His appearance is like Lebanon.”

    Song of Solomon 5:15

    Lebanon was associated with its mountainous, snow-covered appearance.

    The Scriptures are therefore giving us a repeated picture.

    The Body of the Word is white like wool, as white as snow.

    And because Christ is:

    “the exact representation of his being”

    Hebrews 1:3

    the description of Christ also becomes a revelation concerning the invisible God.

    This is why the details matter.

    The head matters.

    The hair matters.

    The eyes matter.

    The face matters.

    The hands matter.

    The feet matter.

    The mouth matters.

    The voice matters.

    The entire Body becomes a vocabulary through which Scripture speaks about the Person of the Word.

    The Body Is More Than a Description

    Every detailed description of the Body of the Word is also a Scripture because it testifies about the Person of the Word.

    Jesus said:

    “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”

    John 5:39

    Therefore, the description of His whiteness is not simply a physical observation.

    It is a testimony.

    It is a Scripture.

    It is a figure of speech.

    It is a revelation waiting to be unfolded.

    And Scripture gives us a principle for understanding this:

    “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

    Matthew 13:35

    God uses visible and natural things to communicate invisible and spiritual realities.

    The Body of the Word is therefore not merely something we look at.

    It is something Scripture teaches us to understand.

    The Father Is Speaking Through the Body

    Isaiah gives us another remarkable statement:

    “The hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants.”

    Isaiah 66:14

    Why the hand?

    Because the hand is part of the body.

    The hand becomes a doorway into understanding the Body of the Word.

    And the Body becomes a doorway into understanding the Person of the Word.

    And the Person of the Word reveals the invisible Father.

    Body → Person → Father.

    This is why I believe Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is addressing His Church through the detailed descriptions of His Body.

    He is continually making the Father known.

    Jesus said:

    “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.”

    John 14:9

    And the Holy Spirit does not speak independently of Christ. Jesus said:

    “He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.”

    John 16:14

    The Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known.

    And Paul tells us:

    “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”

    1 Corinthians 2:10

    So there are depths in God that the Holy Spirit searches and reveals.

    Scripture Is God's Script for His Work

    There is another dimension to this revelation.

    The Scriptures are not merely records of what God has done. They are also the script through which His purposes are fulfilled.

    Again and again, Jesus said:

    “It is written…”

    Matthew 4:4, 7, 10

    And concerning His ministry:

    “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

    Luke 4:21

    The Scriptures therefore have a relationship with God's performance on Earth.

    When the Father has an intention, He opens Scripture according to that intention.

    When He is doing a work, He brings particular Scriptures into revelation.

    When the Spirit speaks to the churches, He speaks through what is being revealed:

    “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

    Revelation 2:7

    This makes the present question very important:

    What is the Spirit saying to the Church through the Scriptures He is opening?

    And if Christ is presently revealing Himself through the detailed descriptions of His Body, then these revelations deserve our attention.

    The Body of the Word Is Our Inheritance

    The Father has not given us Christ merely so that we can know facts about Him.

    He has given us Christ so that we can know Him.

    The Body of the Word is therefore not something we should approach casually.

    It is an inheritance.

    It is a revelation.

    It is an invitation to know the Person of the Word in greater detail.

    The Scriptures testify about Him.

    The Holy Spirit reveals Him.

    The Father is seen in Him.

    And the more the Scriptures are unfolded, the more light we receive concerning the Person of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father.

    So perhaps the question is no longer simply:

    “Do you read the Bible?”

    The deeper question is:

    “Do you recognise the Person whom the Scriptures are revealing?”

    Because the Bible is testifying.

    The Spirit is speaking.

    The Scriptures are being unfolded.

    And behind the revelation stands a Person:

    Jesus Christ, the living Word of God—the image of the invisible God.

    The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What does God look like? It is a simple question, but Scripture gives us an answer that is far more concrete than we often realise. The Bible calls God invisible. Yet Scripture also tells us that the invisible God has made Himself known—not merely through ideas, doctrines, or written sentences, but through a Person. John, on the island of Patmos, saw Him. “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…” And what John saw was astonishing: a figure with a head and hair, eyes, feet, a voice, hands, a face and a mouth. John was describing the appearance of Jesus Christ—the living Word of God. Revelation 1:12–17 This is why Scripture says: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Hebrews 1:3 And again: “Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 So we can say: The Body of the Word is the image of the invisible God. The Scriptures Reveal a Person This changes the way we should read Scripture. We are accustomed to reading the Bible primarily as a collection of words, teachings, commandments, promises and historical accounts. But Scripture itself tells us that the Scriptures testify about a Person. Jesus said: “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” John 5:39 The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about God. They testify about Jesus Christ, the living Word. Consider one example. John saw the eyes of Christ and wrote: “His eyes were like blazing fire.” Revelation 1:14 That is a detailed description of the Body of the Word. But Scripture also says: “Our God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:29 The description of the Body therefore becomes a revelation about God Himself. The same principle runs through the Scriptures: the details of the Body of the Word testify about the Person of the Word and reveal the invisible Father. Paul writes: “God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6 The “face of Christ” becomes a point of revelation—the Body of the Word revealing the invisible God. Scripture Must Be Unfolded This is where something particularly provocative begins to emerge. What if the Scriptures are not simply information about God, but the Father's script for revealing Himself? Psalm 119:130 says: “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Psalm 119:130 The Word must be unfolded. We can read a Scripture without necessarily seeing the revelation contained within it. We can know the sentence without knowing the Person whom the sentence reveals. That is the difference between merely reading Scripture and receiving revelation. The detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore not decorative language. They are scriptural descriptions that can be unfolded to reveal the Father. Paul describes this revelation as: “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6 So the purpose of the unfolding is not simply to give us more biblical information. It is to give us the revelation knowledge of the Father. The Body of the Word: White Like Wool and Snow Consider the description John gives: “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow.” Revelation 1:14 This is a detailed description of the Body of the Word. But John is not alone in seeing this. Daniel saw the Ancient of Days and wrote: “His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool.” Daniel 7:9 Then Song of Solomon gives another description: “His appearance is like Lebanon.” Song of Solomon 5:15 Lebanon was associated with its mountainous, snow-covered appearance. The Scriptures are therefore giving us a repeated picture. The Body of the Word is white like wool, as white as snow. And because Christ is: “the exact representation of his being” Hebrews 1:3 the description of Christ also becomes a revelation concerning the invisible God. This is why the details matter. The head matters. The hair matters. The eyes matter. The face matters. The hands matter. The feet matter. The mouth matters. The voice matters. The entire Body becomes a vocabulary through which Scripture speaks about the Person of the Word. The Body Is More Than a Description Every detailed description of the Body of the Word is also a Scripture because it testifies about the Person of the Word. Jesus said: “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” John 5:39 Therefore, the description of His whiteness is not simply a physical observation. It is a testimony. It is a Scripture. It is a figure of speech. It is a revelation waiting to be unfolded. And Scripture gives us a principle for understanding this: “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.” Matthew 13:35 God uses visible and natural things to communicate invisible and spiritual realities. The Body of the Word is therefore not merely something we look at. It is something Scripture teaches us to understand. The Father Is Speaking Through the Body Isaiah gives us another remarkable statement: “The hand of the Lord will be made known to his servants.” Isaiah 66:14 Why the hand? Because the hand is part of the body. The hand becomes a doorway into understanding the Body of the Word. And the Body becomes a doorway into understanding the Person of the Word. And the Person of the Word reveals the invisible Father. Body → Person → Father. This is why I believe Jesus Christ, the Head of the Church, is addressing His Church through the detailed descriptions of His Body. He is continually making the Father known. Jesus said: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.” John 14:9 And the Holy Spirit does not speak independently of Christ. Jesus said: “He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.” John 16:14 The Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known. And Paul tells us: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:10 So there are depths in God that the Holy Spirit searches and reveals. Scripture Is God's Script for His Work There is another dimension to this revelation. The Scriptures are not merely records of what God has done. They are also the script through which His purposes are fulfilled. Again and again, Jesus said: “It is written…” Matthew 4:4, 7, 10 And concerning His ministry: “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Luke 4:21 The Scriptures therefore have a relationship with God's performance on Earth. When the Father has an intention, He opens Scripture according to that intention. When He is doing a work, He brings particular Scriptures into revelation. When the Spirit speaks to the churches, He speaks through what is being revealed: “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Revelation 2:7 This makes the present question very important: What is the Spirit saying to the Church through the Scriptures He is opening? And if Christ is presently revealing Himself through the detailed descriptions of His Body, then these revelations deserve our attention. The Body of the Word Is Our Inheritance The Father has not given us Christ merely so that we can know facts about Him. He has given us Christ so that we can know Him. The Body of the Word is therefore not something we should approach casually. It is an inheritance. It is a revelation. It is an invitation to know the Person of the Word in greater detail. The Scriptures testify about Him. The Holy Spirit reveals Him. The Father is seen in Him. And the more the Scriptures are unfolded, the more light we receive concerning the Person of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father.

  • A FAITH FIGHT

    1 TIMOTHY 6:12 NRS 12 Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life, to which you were called and for which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

    Too many people have the idea that if something is God's will for them to have that it will just automatically happen without any effort or involvement on their part.

    Not so!

    We have to cooperate with God. We must believe what He says. We must resist doubt and fear. To walk in the fullness of blessing God desires for us, we must fight the good fight of faith.

    Israel was our example.

    1 CORINTHIANS 10:11 NRS 11 These things happened to them to serve as an example, and they were written down to instruct us, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

    They had to fight the giants in the land to possess what God said was already theirs. The promised land belonged to them already because God had given it to them. But it was still inhabited by others (including giants), who had to be driven out before they could enjoy what was theirs.

    Since the Bible talks about the "good fight of faith," you know that standing in faith may often involve a struggle.

    There is a reason the Bible tells us to hold fast our confession of faith (Hebrews 4:14, 10:23). God knew we would be tempted to doubt because of the circumstances we would see in our lives.

    God knew that faith would be a struggle.

    So we should not be surprised at the fiery trials that happen to us. The devil is trying to steal our faith by trying to get us to doubt God's faithfulness to His Word.

    1 PETER 4:12 NRS 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.

    We may have to fight with our own logic. It may tell us it is impossible for things to work out, that God's Word will not work for us, that we should not expect good things to happen to us.

    But victory in and through Jesus is the plan of God. It is possible. We must continue in faith. That is the fight we must engage in.

    SAY THIS: I will maintain my faith in God's Word no matter what life throws at me. I will do whatever it takes to maintain my faith in God.

    God bless you!
