Christ is God's masterpiece of mercy and forgiveness.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free "
John 8:32
Nothing ever vindicates more than the Truth. I say no matter how protracted, the truth shall vindicate and set you free. Stand for the truth even if you are the only or the last one, stand. The prince of peace shall be with you and give you peace and counsel. His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.~ Isaiah 9:6
May HE bring an everlasting peace and counsel to you. You are favoured and blessed. Amen
Sin on the other hand incurs the death penalty and no man has the ability to save himself. Man's only salvation from sin stands on a lonely, barren, skull-shaped hill; a thief hangs on one cross, a murderer on another and between them, a Man with a crown of thorns. Blood flows from His hands and feet, it pours from His side, it drops d.........own His face while those who stand looking on sneer and mock him. He is the Son of God, the Prince of Peace, heavens own appointed Messenger to the sin-ridden earth. This is He, before whom angels fall down and veil their faces. And yet He hangs bleeding and forsaken upon the cross. What brought Him to this place of horrors? You did and I did, for it was for your sin and my sin that Jesus was nailed to the cross. But sin overreached itself on the cross. Man's hideous injustice that crucified Christ became the means that opened the way for man to become free. Sin's masterpiece of shame and hate became God's masterpiece of mercy and forgiveness.

You dont close your ears when you received the message of God
"And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it]." 1 Thes. 2:13
Does your love conform to this "Love is patient, love is kind, Love does not insist on its own way. Love bears all things, believes all things, Hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails"
I Corinthians 13:4-8 How about your love
The mark of Spirit filled man and woman is the fruit they bear. The Bible is crystal clear at this point. Giftedness does not determine greatness in God's book. Jesus said "You will know them by their fruits." Not by how anointed one may appear to be. Not by the miracles one perform. Not by the revelation knowledge...... one claims to have. We will recognize God's hand of blessing on men and women by the fruit they bear. A man who claims to be doing miracles by the power of the Spirit but who exhibits no fruit of the Spirit in his life is either lying or confused. Spiritual gifts glorify God and build up the Body of Christ. Gifts should never be misused, envied, or cause division. Don't be like the Corinthian believers who were so impressed by the gifts and wonder of spiritual gifts that they lost their perspective and forgot the purpose of these gifts. Our gifts, talents, and abilities should build up other believers and bring unity in the church.

Record the vision.
“I will stand at my Guard Post
And I will keep watch and see
What He will speak to me.
Then the Lord said
Record the vision.”
Habakkuk 2:1-2
And I will keep watch and see
What He will speak to me.

Record the vision.”

To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
Love without conditionalities or reason
The Love without conditionalties or reason but love HE loves you personally, individually and the whole world. 1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Ephesians 2:4-9
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
The love of God is HIS sovereign power or right. It is the gift of God that He gives to whosoever He wants. This is also called the blessing or the Grace. The unmerited, unearned and undeserved favour from the creator
John 3:16-17~~16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
God sent His son when we are, where or still in sin; why because love originated from God not man. We are in the game of reciprocity. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Therefore Lets respond to the love of God by being the love we expect from the society at large, the love we are looking for in a pear groups, bands and gangs: The Love we need from our spouses and children and parents. The love we are seeking in the church and social communities, the love we are looking for in the military and football organization that we seek from the gurus and hypnotizers who themselves are lost on the issue concerning Jesus and salvation. Now look on God onto heavens onto Jesus the great redeemer and you shall be fulfilled. Amen.
This LOVE is in Christ thru Jesus. Amen. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Yours Apostle GOC Ogaraku

Seek those things which are above,
What are really your hearts desired treasures; the good things of the world or the unseen things in heaven? I believe before you answer, you will like to know what I myself am thinking and what really prompted this question. (Unseen because faith is the evidence of things not seen remember)
Well there are treasures that are perishable and there are treasures that are not perishable.
Note that both King David and his Son king Solomon where unimaginably rich; you can’t see or point at those riches today. The things they did, said are what we recall and walk in their instructions, poems, proverbs and praises. Because the words they spoke was the word of God which physicalised into Jesus Christ. Amen.
"If ye then be raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. " Colossians 3:1-2
Seek those things which are above. Is a priority because those good and perfect and imperishable gifts come from God and to Him should we bank "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 what is born of God is God what is born of flesh is flesh. And the things of God rest in Heavenly places. "And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus" Ephesians 2:6
This is the cardinal truth undisputable and wise."And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free " John 8:32
For us to come into Gods rest, we must bank in Gods bank which is the Christ and the salvation He offered. We bank with faith and believe that the Lord will deliver all He has promised. We must bank on the sovereign Lord and the integrity of His word.
"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief." Hebrews 4:9-11
Come all of you; lets cultivate again on the vine yard of the Lord, Let regain Garden of Eden through Christ; Lets reestablish the rest Of God on earth. "~thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Amen.
Your hmble.

'Do something you never had,
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'
David saved the life of Saul his arch enemy, Solomon sacrificed generously to Gods Temple; Abraham was willing to give up his son Isaac and Jesus paid for yours and my sins unconditionally
What have you done or doing?
When you lose something in God’s name, take it as a seed sown on a fertile land ok.
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'
The will we must obey, the will is the law but the grace is an unmerited favour received not achieved, given not earned. It comes out of love of God.
Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear. This is a prophecy over your life. You will receive your heart’s desire as a favour and grace from God in Jesus name.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Ephesians 1:3-7~~3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Do not be distracted, Keep focused, looking unto Jesus
Do not be distracted, Keep focused, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith and please Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Expectation is something we all need to have if we want to see God's promises fulfilled. It is really another way of saying hope.
When you get revelation (personal covenant with God) expect it, your name will change You will have greater expectations. Remember our target is walking and working with God in HIS rest in the holy vine yard. You are lifted to lift others don’t forget, you are blessed to be a blessing to others. Amen.
Genesis 17:5 "No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6. "I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7. "And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
The book of Romans.
Romans 4:17 (as it is written, "I have made you a father of many nations'') in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18. who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be.'' 19. And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb.
20. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21. and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22. And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness.''
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.4. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,5. casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,6. and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
