WHAT's GAIN 3

WHAT’S GAIN 3?
I start quoting W.E. B Du Bois “Make yourself do unpleasant things so as to gain the upper hand of yourself”. Doing unpleasant things to the flesh is profitable; doing pleasant things to the spirit is profitable as well. John 6 vs. 63b : It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. Matthew 26 vs. 41: Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. When one walks in the spirit and not flesh, he will not fulfill the lust of the flesh; which is a great gain. This flesh of ours is weak and will always tempt us to go after things of the world. The flesh will always want to be pleased with worldly things, but the spirit is not willing to go after things of the world. Many are pleasing their flesh and nourishing it with worldly things, but their spirit man is lacking. The bible said the flesh profiteth nothing; it is the spirit that quickeneth.
                        Many find it difficult to engage in spiritual exercise to fortify their spirit man. It is good to always be after the things of the spirit. Romans 8 vs.5: For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the spirit the things of the spirit. Vs.6: For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Vs. 7: Because the carnal mind is enmity against GOD; for it is not subject to the law of GOD, neither indeed can be. Vs. 8: So then they that are in the flesh cannot please GOD. Vs. 9 defines this spirit, but ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of GOD dwell in you. Now if any man has not the spirit of CHRIST he is none of his. A man must connect his spirit to the Holy Spirit and be led by it. Only a righteous and holy life can accommodate the Holy Spirit.
                Roman 8 vs. 14: For as many as are led by the spirit of GOD, they are the sons of GOD. I would rather gain what profit my spirit than flesh. Engaging in spiritual exercise like praying, fasting, meditating the word of GOD profits and edifies the spirit. Romans 8 vs. 13: For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. It is well with us….

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
