Praise reports

It's been almost a year now that christmandate blog came into existence. And I know that if you are an ardent reader of this blog that you have been blessed. And that you have a lot of testimonies you want to share. So I want you to write down your testimony on the comment section. #God bless you.

God signature

Matthew5:9"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." In the ancient times and even now in the present. When a nation conquer another nation they put up a symbol that represent their nation. In the present whenever man achieves the impossible he put up his nation flag. For instance when man first went to space. Man conquered the law of gravity and space. Neil Armstrong the first astronaut to land on the moon. He put his nation flag. So anytime man conquers he puts up a symbol to represent his nation. So in the kingdom of men, after man conquers he put up a symbol glorifying his nation. While in the kingdom of God, God gives us peace and joy before we even head to battle. He gives us victory before the battle. In the kingdom of men, they sing war songs and merry after winning a battle. while in the kingdom of heaven, we praise God before we battle. We magnify God before we battle. In the kingdom of heaven, whenever heaven support a vision. God put his signature on the project. The signature of God is peace and prosperity. Whenever God backs up a project he put his peace in the believer in christ running with the vision. And also the vision prospers. Prosperity and peace are God signature. If you study the man joseph, he had this signature in his life. Anywhere Joseph worked he had peace even though they hurt him and the works of his hands prospered. Genesis 39:3 "And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand." Potiphar an unbeliever saw that God was with Joseph because he saw God signature in Joseph life. As believers in christ we have God signature. Psalms 122:6" Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.122:7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces." If you study Israel history you will discover that when ever the children of israel rebelled against God. Their enemies successfully invade their nation. And they end up losing their land and peace. When God is for you and with you i tell you the truth friend; You prosper and have peace. So before you make any decision in life seek the guide of the holyspirit. Check if you had peace before you signed that contract or get into that relationship. Check if you have the peace of God before making any decision no matter how little the matter seems.And also never be sacred to follow the Lord's leading. He said in Jeremiah29:11 "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." He wants the best for you. So expect the best when you obey him. As you follow his leading he will stengthen you and bless you. Psalms 29:11 "The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace." You are blessed.

The Love Of Christ part Two

John 3:35 "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." Paul filled with the holyghost wrote to the Galatian church in Galatians4:7"...and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Who is a child of God? A child of God is one who has received Jesus Christ as his/her saviour, experience the new birth sealed in the holyghost. A child of God is one who just became born again and unskilled in the things and knowledge of God. A child of God is one in a tender stage in his Christian faith. Now Who is a son? A son is one who is matured in the Christian faith. A son is one holyghost filled and is skilled in the things and knowledge of God. One of the differences between a Son and a child is that a child is self centered. He/she loves attention. While a son is service oriented. If you ask a parent Why they have children they will probably give you two reasons. The first reason Is that so they can have an heir. They want their children to take over their wealth when they leave the world. Inheritance Is not limited to physical things but mental and spiritual things also. A spiritual father tells his spiritual son the secrets of his success in ministry which are revelations of Christ. That's spiritual inheritance. In the days of old as Elijah was going to heaven, Elisha received Elijah mantle( 2kings 2: 1-15) That's also an example of spiritual inheritance. A mother gives her daughter the secret recipe of her soup. That's mental inheritance. Minority groups in a country have children so they can preserve their traditions, cultures and name. The primary goal is that so they won't be forgotten. The second reason why parents want children is investment. Many parents see their children as investment for the future. They have children so that they will take care of them when they grow old. Well It's a fundamental responsibility for adults to take care of their parents. So if you reading this and you have forsaken and neglected their duties to their parents. Please make amends and take care of them. No matter how much they have hurt you in the past take of them. Even though they neglected their duties to you by not taking care of you and providing all that you needed. Take care of them and show them love. As children of love (God is love) we are to pay evil with Good. We are to pay hate with love. Back to our topic children demand while son service. Children love to beg. They are never satisfied. Paul filled with the holyghost wrote to the Galatian church not to be weak or become beggers. Galatians4:9 "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?" Children are weak in the faith, the word of God while Sons are strong in the Faith, word of God. Children are easily deceived while sons know their right. Children compare themselves to the world while sons compare themselves to the word. So stop comparing yourself to your friends or family. Compare yourself to the word of God. What God has said concerning. Study the word of God and find out what God said concerning you. You are blessed

The Love Of Christ

John3:35 "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." Many believers today are disquieted because of some of their needs are not met. They feel that God doesn't love them. Well that's one of the big lies of the devil. As a believer In Christ, God has pleasure in your prosperity(psalms 35:27). God is not happy that you are complaining and grumbling. He wants to see you happy in abundance satisfied. God wants the best for you. If you study our anchor scripture Jesus said God loveth the son and hath given all things into his hand. So God manifesting his love towards Jesus was giving him all things. Well that's Good news for believers in christ because Jesus said in John 15:9 "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love." So the way God showed Jesus love Is the same way he will manifest his love to us. As a believer in christ expect to see all that you desire delivered into your hands. But there is something I want you to note in the anchor scripture. It's something many have overlooked. Do you want to know? Ok!!! Let me show you. let's reread the anchor scripture. John 3:35" The FATHER LOVETH the SON, and hath given all things into his hand." The key word there is the word "Son". God will only give everything to a son. He never delivered everything into Jesus hands when he was a child. No matter how much a father love his child he can never him his car to drive. Because he is not legally and mentally ready. Paul said in Galatians 4:1"Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all." So as long as the heir is not mature he is not different from the servants. The questions is now are who is a Son? What does it mean to be a son? how do I become a son or daughter? All that and more will be answered and explained in the part two of this article.
