• ATTENTION, YOU NATIONS ALL.. THE SON, SPEAKING TO SHERDERDS, & SHEEP.. through Red 7, vision in sky after vanished.

    Luke 13:3-5, rom6:16.

    SERMON: "DO NOT GROW WEARY - HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH"
    Text: Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

    1. THE WARNING TO SHEPHERDS AND THE CHURCH IN THE LAST AGE
    Jeremiah 23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!”
    Ezekiel 34:2 “Woe to shepherds of Israel who feed themselves!”

    In this last age, truth is under attack.
    Leaders, pastors, elders — you have a choice:
    Either you are ASKED to this truth John 17:17 “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth”
    Or you CHOICE EVIL DOING 2 Thess 2:10-12 “they refused to love the truth”

    The church is not called to entertain, but to “preach the word; be ready in season and out of season” 2 Tim 4:2

    If we don’t keep this truth steadfast, how will we have God’s reward?
    Revelation 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”
    2 John 1:8 “Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.”

    2. WHY WE GET WEARY
    Galatians 6:9 — “let us not grow weary”
    Why? Because:
    World’s hardship John 16:33 “In the world you will have tribulation”
    Persecution for godliness 2 Timothy 3:12 “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
    Spiritual warfare Eph 6:12

    Look at the 144,000 in Revelation 14:1-5 — “These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes... No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.”
    They were marked, tested, and did not defile themselves. That’s the standard for the last age.

    3. WE DON’T STRIVE IN OUR EFFORT - WE STRIVE BY HIS GRACE
    We cannot live pure by effort. It’s by Christ’s grace of righteousness given to us.
    Titus 2:11-12 “For the grace of God has appeared... training us to renounce ungodliness”
    Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith.”

    How did He give it?
    THE ONLY SIGN — THE DEATH, BURIAL, RESURRECTION:

    Matthew 12:40 “For just as Jonah was three days and three nights... so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”
    Luke 24:39 “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me” — He rose bodily!
    1 Cor 15:3-4 “Christ died for our sins... was buried... was raised on the third day”

    That same sign is for this evil generation.

    4. THE WITNESS: RED7 IN THE SKY
    As a witness of Jesus, appointed by Jesus. Acts 26:16, I testify: to Red 7 vision the son gave me to share you last age After the vision it vanished, I saw RED7 = in the sky. And also= sacrifice of Jesus, sin , &judgement.
    The message is clear: “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” Heb 9:22.
    RED7 = THE BLOOD OF JESUS. That’s our only hope, our only righteousness, our only power to live pure. Hallelujah!

    And how do we stay pure?

    1 Timothy 4:5 “for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer.”
    Ephesians 5:26-27 “that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle”

    PRAYER + WORD = PURITY BEFORE GOD

    5. THE CALL: DON’T GIVE UP
    Shepherds, don’t feed yourself. Feed the sheep John 21:17
    Church, don’t choose evil because it’s easier. Choose truth.
    Saints, you may be tired. But “in due season we will reap” Gal 6:9

    Hold fast. RED7 cleanses you. And the son showed me Green 7, The Spirit GREEN7 empowers you. And skeleton vision reminder all who dead bcos lack Christ. Christ promise life in thy spiritual dryness and won't be dead as skeleton vision. john14:6.

    Revelation 3:11 “Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.”

    CLOSING PRAYER:
    Lord Jesus, wash us by Your Blood
    ATTENTION, YOU NATIONS ALL.. THE SON, SPEAKING TO SHERDERDS, & SHEEP.. through Red 7, vision in sky after vanished. Door of grace is open! Will you Repent & obey to be pure. Luke 13:3-5, rom6:16.

  • The Advent Truth.
    Galatians 5:18 is one of the most abused verses in Scripture:

    “But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.”

    Many assume that means Christians no longer have to obey God’s commandments. But keep reading.

    The very next verses list “the works of the flesh”: adultery, fornication, idolatry, hatred, murder, drunkenness, and more (Gal. 5:19-21). On what basis are these called sins if God’s moral law no longer applies?

    Paul answers that himself.

    In Romans 7:7 he asks, “Is the law sin? God forbid.” Then he explains, “I had not known sin, but by the law.” He even gives the tenth commandment as his example: “Thou shalt not covet.”

    Paul’s definition of sin hasn’t changed. The law reveals what sin is.

    So what does “not under the law” mean?

    Romans 6:14-15 gives the answer. Paul says believers are “not under the law, but under grace,” and immediately asks, “Shall we sin?” His response is emphatic: “God forbid.”

    Clearly, “not under the law” cannot mean we’re free to break it. It means we’re no longer under its condemnation because Christ has paid our penalty.

    The Holy Spirit doesn’t abolish God’s law; He writes it in our hearts (Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10). Ezekiel 36:26-27 says God gives us His Spirit so that we will walk in His statutes. The Spirit empowers obedience—it never excuses disobedience.

    In fact, the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) is a perfect description of the righteous life God’s law has always pointed toward. Love fulfills the law (Rom. 13:8-10), not by replacing it, but by producing genuine obedience from the heart.

    Grace saves us from sin’s penalty. The Spirit saves us from sin’s power. Neither gives us permission to continue living in sin.

    If being led by the Spirit meant God’s commandments no longer mattered, then the Spirit would be leading people to violate the very law He inspired.

    That’s impossible.

    PENTECOST: THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    On the Day of Pentecost, heaven touched earth in a remarkable way. Just as Jesus had promised, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples with power. Fear was replaced with boldness, weakness with strength, and confusion with clear conviction. Those who had once hidden behind locked doors now stood before multitudes proclaiming the risen Christ. Thousands accepted the gospel because the Holy Spirit empowered ordinary believers to accomplish an extraordinary mission (Acts 2:1–41).

    Pentecost was not merely about miraculous signs or speaking in different languages—it was about God equipping His people to glorify Christ and carry the everlasting gospel to the world. The same Spirit who transformed the apostles is still available today to transform every surrendered heart.

    The greatest evidence of the Holy Spirit is not only miraculous gifts, but a life changed into the likeness of Christ. He convicts of sin, leads into truth, produces the fruit of righteousness, and empowers believers to obey God's commandments and faithfully witness until Jesus returns.

    Today, God is still seeking men and women who will humble themselves, pray, study His Word, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. The world does not merely need more knowledge—it needs believers whose lives reveal the power and character of Christ.

    "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me..." — Acts 1:8 (KJV)

    Prayer: Lord, fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Purify my heart, strengthen my faith, and empower me to live for Christ and faithfully proclaim His truth until He comes again. Amen.

  • The Advent Truth.
    The modern idea that the gift of tongues is ecstatic gibberish or a private prayer language simply does not match the Bible’s description of the gift.

    In Acts 2, when the Holy Spirit was poured out, the disciples spoke in real human languages that the people present actually understood (Acts 2:6-11). Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Egyptians, Romans, and many others each heard “the wonderful works of God” in their own native language. The miracle was the supernatural ability to speak an unlearned language so the gospel could be preached across language barriers.

    Some appeal to 1 Corinthians 14, but notice something important: the word “unknown” in the KJV is printed in italics. That means it does not appear in the original Greek text. Translators supplied it because they thought it clarified the sentence. Paul simply wrote “tongue” (Greek: glōssa), the normal word for a language.

    Paul’s concern in 1 Corinthians 14 was not gibberish, but order in worship. If someone spoke a language the congregation did not understand, there had to be an interpreter. Otherwise, they were to remain silent (1 Cor. 14:27-28). The entire point of spiritual gifts is to edify the church, not to create confusion, for “God is not the author of confusion” (v. 33).

    The purpose of tongues has always been evangelistic. God miraculously enabled His servants to proclaim the gospel to people who spoke different languages. Once the message had been communicated, the temporary need for that miraculous gift had been fulfilled. Scripture never presents tongues as unintelligible sounds or an emotional experience disconnected from communicating truth.

    The Holy Spirit still empowers believers today, but His goal remains the same: to exalt Christ, proclaim the gospel, and build up the church according to God’s Word—not through confusion, but through truth.

    It’s not my opinion, it’s the Advent Truth.

  • 28 Beleifs # 11
    GROWING IN CHRIST

    By His death on the cross Jesus triumphed over the forces of evil. He who subjugated the demonic spirits during His earthly ministry has broken their power and made certain their ultimate doom. Jesus’ victory gives us victory over the evil forces that still seek to control us, as we walk with Him in peace, joy, and assurance of His love. Now the Holy Spirit dwells within us and empowers us. Continually committed to Jesus as our Saviour and Lord, we are set free from the burden of our past deeds. No longer do we live in the darkness, fear of evil powers, ignorance, and meaninglessness of our former way of life. In this new freedom in Jesus, we are called to grow into the likeness of His character, communing with Him daily in prayer, feeding on His Word, meditating on it and on His providence, singing His praises, gathering together for worship, and participating in the mission of the Church. We are also called to follow Christ’s example by compassionately ministering to the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of humanity. As we give ourselves in loving service to those around us and in witnessing to His salvation, His constant presence with us through the Spirit transforms every moment and every task into a spiritual experience.

  • Today's Readings are from the Book of 2 Kings 1–2 | 2 Corinthians 9

    Overviews Are Below (PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLE: Overviews Do Not Replace Daily Reading)

    2 Kings 1

    Seeking the True God

    2 Kings 1 opens with the reign of Ahaziah, the son of Ahab. Rather than learning from the failures of his father, Ahaziah continues walking in rebellion against the Lord. After suffering a serious injury, he seeks guidance, not from the God of Israel, but from the false god Baal-Zebub. His decision reveals the true condition of his heart. In his moment of greatest need, he trusts idols instead of the living God.
    The Lord immediately sends Elijah to intercept the king's messengers. Elijah asks a piercing question: Is there no God in Israel that the king must seek counsel elsewhere? The issue is not merely where Ahaziah seeks information, but whom he trusts. His actions reveal that he has rejected the Lord's authority despite belonging to God's covenant people.

    God announces that Ahaziah will not recover because he has deliberately rejected the Lord. Rather than humbling himself, the king repeatedly sends soldiers to arrest Elijah. Twice, military commanders approach the prophet with arrogance and demand that he come immediately. Each time, God's judgment falls, demonstrating that no earthly authority stands above the Lord.

    The third commander approaches differently. Instead of pride, he comes with humility and asks for mercy. God honors this attitude, and Elijah willingly goes with him. The contrast is striking. Pride brings judgment, while humility receives grace.

    When Elijah finally stands before Ahaziah, he faithfully delivers God's message exactly as he had received it. The king's death follows precisely as the Lord declared, confirming once again that God's Word never fails.

    Theologically, 2 Kings 1 reveals the futility of seeking answers apart from God. It also demonstrates that God opposes pride but extends grace to the humble. The chapter emphasizes God's complete authority over kings, nations, and every human power.

    This chapter points to Christ, who alone reveals the Father perfectly. Rather than seeking false sources of hope, believers are invited to come directly to Jesus, who is the truth and the only mediator between God and humanity. He offers grace to the humble and life to all who trust in Him.

    For believers today, 2 Kings 1 reminds us to seek God first in every circumstance. The world offers many competing voices, but true wisdom comes from the Lord alone. In Christ, we have direct access to God's truth and guidance. We are called to approach Him with humility, trusting that He alone has the words of eternal life.

    2 Kings 2

    The God Who Continues His Work

    2 Kings 2 records one of the most remarkable transitions in Scripture as Elijah's earthly ministry comes to an end and Elisha is prepared to continue God's work. The chapter demonstrates that while God's servants may change, God's mission continues without interruption.

    As Elijah prepares for his departure, he repeatedly tests Elisha's commitment by inviting him to remain behind. Each time, Elisha refuses to leave his mentor. His persistence reflects loyalty, faithfulness, and a desire to remain close to the work God is accomplishing. Elisha understands that the greatest blessing is not simply witnessing miracles but remaining faithful to God's calling.

    When Elijah asks what he desires before his departure, Elisha requests a double portion of Elijah's spirit. His request is not driven by ambition or personal glory but by a recognition that he will need God's power to fulfill the ministry ahead. He understands that God's work can only be accomplished through God's enabling.

    The dramatic departure of Elijah in a whirlwind demonstrates God's sovereign authority over life and death. Elijah does not experience death in the ordinary sense but is taken directly into God's presence. The event confirms God's approval of His faithful servant and marks the completion of a remarkable prophetic ministry.

    Immediately afterward, Elisha begins exercising the ministry God has entrusted to him. The parting of the Jordan River demonstrates that the same God who worked through Elijah is now working through Elisha. The focus is never on the prophet himself but on the Lord who empowers His servants.
    The remainder of the chapter records miracles that reveal God's compassion, holiness, and authority. Through Elisha, bitter waters are healed and God's holiness is upheld. The Lord continues revealing Himself to His people through His faithful prophet.

    Theologically, 2 Kings 2 teaches that God's work is never dependent upon one individual. He faithfully raises up new servants to continue His purposes from generation to generation. The chapter also emphasizes that spiritual ministry depends entirely upon God's power rather than human ability.
    This chapter points beautifully to Christ. Elijah's ministry prepared the way for future revelation, while Elisha continued God's work through the power given to him. Jesus, however, is greater than both prophets. He not only performs miracles but gives His Holy Spirit to every believer, empowering the Church to continue His mission until He returns.

    For believers today, 2 Kings 2 reminds us that God's work continues across generations. Faithful servants may finish their course, but God's mission remains unchanged. In Christ, we have received the Holy Spirit, who equips us to serve faithfully and carry the gospel forward. We are called to remain committed, depend upon God's power, and trust that the Lord who called us will also enable us to accomplish His purposes.

    2 Corinthians 9 — Generosity That Reflects the Grace of the Christ

    2 Corinthians chapter 9 continues the theme of generous giving by revealing that true generosity flows from a heart transformed by the Christ, the Son of God. The chapter moves beyond the practical act of giving to reveal the spiritual principles behind it. The redemptive plan produces people whose lives overflow with gratitude, generosity, and joyful worship because they have first received the immeasurable grace of God through the Christ.

    The chapter begins by encouraging believers to be ready and willing in their generosity. Paul desires that their giving reflect sincere love rather than pressure or obligation. Christian living is never driven by guilt or compulsion. Instead, it flows from hearts that have been changed by the grace of the Son of God. The believer's generosity becomes an outward expression of an inward transformation.

    Paul then introduces the principle of sowing and reaping. Throughout Scripture, God has established that what is sown faithfully produces a corresponding harvest. This principle is not presented as a formula for personal wealth but as an illustration of God's faithful provision. Those who give generously for His purposes discover that the Lord continues to supply what is needed for every good work. The redemptive plan teaches believers to trust the Christ as their provider rather than placing confidence in earthly resources.

    A central emphasis of the chapter is cheerful giving. God delights in willing hearts that give joyfully because they understand His generosity toward them. The greatest example of giving is the Christ Himself, who freely gave His life to accomplish salvation. Christian living reflects that same spirit of joyful generosity. The Son of God never gave reluctantly, and His followers are called to imitate His heart.

    Paul reminds the believers that God is able to provide abundantly for every need. This promise does not encourage self-indulgence but faithful stewardship. The Christ provides so that His people may continue serving others and advancing His kingdom. The redemptive plan equips believers not merely to receive blessings but to become channels through which God's blessings reach others.

    The chapter also highlights the far-reaching results of generosity. Faithful giving meets practical needs, strengthens fellow believers, and produces thanksgiving to God. As people witness God's provision through His people, their hearts are directed toward worship. Christian living therefore extends beyond personal obedience to becoming a testimony of God's faithfulness before others.

    Another important theme is that generosity demonstrates the sincerity of faith. Giving becomes visible evidence that believers truly understand the gospel they profess. The Christ has transformed their priorities, replacing selfishness with sacrificial love. The redemptive plan is displayed not only through words but through lives that willingly invest in God's purposes.

    Paul also describes the unity that generous giving creates within the body of Christ. As believers care for one another across different places and circumstances, they demonstrate the reality that they belong to one family under the lordship of the Son of God. The generosity of one group strengthens another, creating deeper fellowship and mutual thanksgiving.

    The chapter concludes with an outburst of praise centered on God's indescribable gift. Every act of Christian generosity ultimately points back to the greatest gift ever given—the gift of the Christ Himself. Everything believers possess, including salvation, grace, hope, and eternal life, has come through the Son of God. All generosity begins and ends with Him.

    Throughout this chapter, the Christ remains the perfect example of selfless giving. His sacrifice is the source from which all Christian generosity flows. The redemptive plan transforms hearts so completely that giving becomes an act of worship rather than obligation, producing thanksgiving to God and blessing to His people.

    For believers today, this chapter calls us to cultivate hearts of joyful generosity. Christian living is not measured by how much we possess but by how faithfully we steward what God has entrusted to us. We are reminded that the Son of God is our faithful provider, enabling us to give with confidence and joy. As we generously invest our lives, resources, and opportunities in His kingdom, we participate in His redemptive plan, strengthen His Church, and bring glory to the Christ, whose indescribable gift has changed our lives forever.

    📌 Today's Readings are from the Book of 2 Kings 1–2 | 2 Corinthians 9📌 👇 Overviews Are Below (PLEASE READ YOUR BIBLE: Overviews Do Not Replace Daily Reading) 👇 2 Kings 1 Seeking the True God 2 Kings 1 opens with the reign of Ahaziah, the son of Ahab. Rather than learning from the failures of his father, Ahaziah continues walking in rebellion against the Lord. After suffering a serious injury, he seeks guidance, not from the God of Israel, but from the false god Baal-Zebub. His decision reveals the true condition of his heart. In his moment of greatest need, he trusts idols instead of the living God. The Lord immediately sends Elijah to intercept the king's messengers. Elijah asks a piercing question: Is there no God in Israel that the king must seek counsel elsewhere? The issue is not merely where Ahaziah seeks information, but whom he trusts. His actions reveal that he has rejected the Lord's authority despite belonging to God's covenant people. God announces that Ahaziah will not recover because he has deliberately rejected the Lord. Rather than humbling himself, the king repeatedly sends soldiers to arrest Elijah. Twice, military commanders approach the prophet with arrogance and demand that he come immediately. Each time, God's judgment falls, demonstrating that no earthly authority stands above the Lord. The third commander approaches differently. Instead of pride, he comes with humility and asks for mercy. God honors this attitude, and Elijah willingly goes with him. The contrast is striking. Pride brings judgment, while humility receives grace. When Elijah finally stands before Ahaziah, he faithfully delivers God's message exactly as he had received it. The king's death follows precisely as the Lord declared, confirming once again that God's Word never fails. Theologically, 2 Kings 1 reveals the futility of seeking answers apart from God. It also demonstrates that God opposes pride but extends grace to the humble. The chapter emphasizes God's complete authority over kings, nations, and every human power. This chapter points to Christ, who alone reveals the Father perfectly. Rather than seeking false sources of hope, believers are invited to come directly to Jesus, who is the truth and the only mediator between God and humanity. He offers grace to the humble and life to all who trust in Him. For believers today, 2 Kings 1 reminds us to seek God first in every circumstance. The world offers many competing voices, but true wisdom comes from the Lord alone. In Christ, we have direct access to God's truth and guidance. We are called to approach Him with humility, trusting that He alone has the words of eternal life. 2 Kings 2 The God Who Continues His Work 2 Kings 2 records one of the most remarkable transitions in Scripture as Elijah's earthly ministry comes to an end and Elisha is prepared to continue God's work. The chapter demonstrates that while God's servants may change, God's mission continues without interruption. As Elijah prepares for his departure, he repeatedly tests Elisha's commitment by inviting him to remain behind. Each time, Elisha refuses to leave his mentor. His persistence reflects loyalty, faithfulness, and a desire to remain close to the work God is accomplishing. Elisha understands that the greatest blessing is not simply witnessing miracles but remaining faithful to God's calling. When Elijah asks what he desires before his departure, Elisha requests a double portion of Elijah's spirit. His request is not driven by ambition or personal glory but by a recognition that he will need God's power to fulfill the ministry ahead. He understands that God's work can only be accomplished through God's enabling. The dramatic departure of Elijah in a whirlwind demonstrates God's sovereign authority over life and death. Elijah does not experience death in the ordinary sense but is taken directly into God's presence. The event confirms God's approval of His faithful servant and marks the completion of a remarkable prophetic ministry. Immediately afterward, Elisha begins exercising the ministry God has entrusted to him. The parting of the Jordan River demonstrates that the same God who worked through Elijah is now working through Elisha. The focus is never on the prophet himself but on the Lord who empowers His servants. The remainder of the chapter records miracles that reveal God's compassion, holiness, and authority. Through Elisha, bitter waters are healed and God's holiness is upheld. The Lord continues revealing Himself to His people through His faithful prophet. Theologically, 2 Kings 2 teaches that God's work is never dependent upon one individual. He faithfully raises up new servants to continue His purposes from generation to generation. The chapter also emphasizes that spiritual ministry depends entirely upon God's power rather than human ability. This chapter points beautifully to Christ. Elijah's ministry prepared the way for future revelation, while Elisha continued God's work through the power given to him. Jesus, however, is greater than both prophets. He not only performs miracles but gives His Holy Spirit to every believer, empowering the Church to continue His mission until He returns. For believers today, 2 Kings 2 reminds us that God's work continues across generations. Faithful servants may finish their course, but God's mission remains unchanged. In Christ, we have received the Holy Spirit, who equips us to serve faithfully and carry the gospel forward. We are called to remain committed, depend upon God's power, and trust that the Lord who called us will also enable us to accomplish His purposes. 2 Corinthians 9 — Generosity That Reflects the Grace of the Christ 2 Corinthians chapter 9 continues the theme of generous giving by revealing that true generosity flows from a heart transformed by the Christ, the Son of God. The chapter moves beyond the practical act of giving to reveal the spiritual principles behind it. The redemptive plan produces people whose lives overflow with gratitude, generosity, and joyful worship because they have first received the immeasurable grace of God through the Christ. The chapter begins by encouraging believers to be ready and willing in their generosity. Paul desires that their giving reflect sincere love rather than pressure or obligation. Christian living is never driven by guilt or compulsion. Instead, it flows from hearts that have been changed by the grace of the Son of God. The believer's generosity becomes an outward expression of an inward transformation. Paul then introduces the principle of sowing and reaping. Throughout Scripture, God has established that what is sown faithfully produces a corresponding harvest. This principle is not presented as a formula for personal wealth but as an illustration of God's faithful provision. Those who give generously for His purposes discover that the Lord continues to supply what is needed for every good work. The redemptive plan teaches believers to trust the Christ as their provider rather than placing confidence in earthly resources. A central emphasis of the chapter is cheerful giving. God delights in willing hearts that give joyfully because they understand His generosity toward them. The greatest example of giving is the Christ Himself, who freely gave His life to accomplish salvation. Christian living reflects that same spirit of joyful generosity. The Son of God never gave reluctantly, and His followers are called to imitate His heart. Paul reminds the believers that God is able to provide abundantly for every need. This promise does not encourage self-indulgence but faithful stewardship. The Christ provides so that His people may continue serving others and advancing His kingdom. The redemptive plan equips believers not merely to receive blessings but to become channels through which God's blessings reach others. The chapter also highlights the far-reaching results of generosity. Faithful giving meets practical needs, strengthens fellow believers, and produces thanksgiving to God. As people witness God's provision through His people, their hearts are directed toward worship. Christian living therefore extends beyond personal obedience to becoming a testimony of God's faithfulness before others. Another important theme is that generosity demonstrates the sincerity of faith. Giving becomes visible evidence that believers truly understand the gospel they profess. The Christ has transformed their priorities, replacing selfishness with sacrificial love. The redemptive plan is displayed not only through words but through lives that willingly invest in God's purposes. Paul also describes the unity that generous giving creates within the body of Christ. As believers care for one another across different places and circumstances, they demonstrate the reality that they belong to one family under the lordship of the Son of God. The generosity of one group strengthens another, creating deeper fellowship and mutual thanksgiving. The chapter concludes with an outburst of praise centered on God's indescribable gift.

    TEACHING SERIES

    THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Part 10)

    ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: 1 John 2:6 (NKJV)
    “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

    Additional Scripture Reading: Zechariah 4:6; John 5:19; John 13:15; Matthew 5:43–48; Matthew 9:35–36; Galatians 5:22–23; Ephesians 5:1–2

    We continue with our series on the Ministry of the Holy Spirit.

    Jesus Christ is our perfect pattern and example of how a child of God ought to live on the earth. He was forgiving, compassionate, kindhearted, humble, wise, loving, and full of mercy. Therefore, as His ambassadors, we are called to reflect His nature and walk as He walked.

    Jesus forgave those who offended Him, and He taught us to forgive others so that we may also receive forgiveness. He was moved with compassion when He saw people in need and was touched by their infirmities. His compassion moved Him to heal the sick, provide for the needy, comfort the brokenhearted, and meet the needs of those who came to Him.

    He demonstrated the power of God by raising the dead, healing the sick, opening the eyes of the blind, causing the deaf to hear and the mute to speak. Yet, His ministry was not only characterized by supernatural manifestations. His life was also marked by love, humility, wisdom, purity, mercy, and obedience to the Father.

    Jesus commanded us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves. He even went further by commanding us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. This is the nature of the Kingdom of God.

    He also walked in profound humility. Although He was God, He humbled Himself and took the form of a servant. Likewise, we are warned not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think.

    When the woman caught in adultery was brought before Jesus, He corrected her with both truth and gentleness. This teaches us that those who are spiritual must also restore and correct others with gentleness.

    However, none of these things can be consistently accomplished through human strength. Jesus Himself testified that He did nothing independently of the Father but only what He saw the Father doing and said what He heard the Father saying. His life was lived in complete dependence upon the Father.

    In the same way, we need the Holy Spirit to help us live like Jesus. The character of Christ, the love of Christ, the compassion of Christ, the humility of Christ, the wisdom of Christ, and the power of Christ cannot be produced by human ability alone.

    This is why the Lord declared to Zerubbabel:

    “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” — Zechariah 4:6

    Child of God, if we desire to walk as Jesus walked, we must yield ourselves completely to the Holy Spirit. He is the One who produces Christ's character in us and empowers us to live the life that God has called us to live.

    Our calling is not merely to preach Jesus but to reveal Jesus through our lives.

    We shall conclude this subject next Sunday, by God's grace, and thereafter commence our exploration of the Ministry of Angels.
