Time of Barner

Topic: Time of Barner.

Highlight:

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’” Matthew 13:30

It's crazy, while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. So God made us somebody special and peculiar but the enemy has been slipping in counter-productive people to inconvenience our peculiarities. The enemy went his way because his job is to frustrate the farmer and make his job tedious or even confuse the barner.
So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Matthew 13:27

The enemy is someone who monitors you till you sleep, then do all to destabilise and frustrate other people's life.

Key points about the spiritual meaning of sleep:
• Negativity:
Generally, "sleeping" is seen as a negative sign, indicating a lack of vigilance, complacency, or a disconnect from one's spiritual path. 
• Biblical reference:
In the Bible, "sleep" is frequently used as a metaphor for spiritual slumber, with verses urging people to "wake up" and be alert to their spiritual duties.
• Positive aspects:
In some interpretations, deep sleep can also represent a period of renewal, restoration, and subconscious processing, allowing for spiritual growth and insights upon waking


Matthew 13:26, 28-29 KJV
[26] But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

The enemy has walked away leaving challenges to the barner.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30 KJV

You have to keep growing. Don't stop growing as The barner is watching for the harvest day to then separate the wheat from the weed. The weed will be burned to ashes and the wheat will be gathered into the barn. There will be great harvest if you keep growing.

Prayer: God of Control the only Wise God please Sustain my growth till the day of grace in Jesus name. Amen

The Corporate Spirit

 

An Emoji Devotional for Sat, 14th December 2024

Topic: The Corporate Spirit

Highlight: "Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear." - Isaiah 65:24

When the corporate Spirit of God falls upon a Church, there will be several testimonies of miracles, signs, and wonders. The hand of God will also move in that church.

The Corporate Spirit is also very important in the life of an individual. The Bible says, "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." In the context of Isaiah, this suggests a deep, intimate connection between God and His people, where He anticipates their needs even before they express them.

Historically, this reflects the covenant relationship God had with Israel (His church by faith), where He promised to be their God and they His people.

This is why a Christian must choose to attend a fellowship with other believers, as the Corporate Spirit of God robes on an individual who seeks God in Spirit and in Truth in fellowship with others.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them." - Matthew 18:20

The passage suggests that God's presence is practical and especially strong when people are together in faith and unity, bringing down the corporate presence of God.

Go and find out as an individual who prays to God in His closet and see God move individually, but once such a person goes to church with true believers, they feel fulfilled and blessed more than they do alone.

This is the reason you, as an individual who has a personal relationship with God, must go to church; otherwise, the Corporate anointing from the Corporate Spirit will be missing in your life.

You should have fellowship with other true believers of Christ after being born again because of the following three reasons:

1. A single soldier cannot fight or win a battle alone. We are all soldiers of Christ. As 2 Timothy 2:4 says, "A soldier on active duty doesn't get caught up in the business of everyday life. He wants to please the one who enlisted him."

So, what the Corporate Spirit does is that once you are identified in your local church as a member, and you remember someone as your church member, you become relieved that you are together in the Spirit, doing active service for God.

This means a lot in the Spirit realms, as thinking about them brings love and satisfaction to the Spiritual bond where the Corporate Spirit is required.

"How good, how delightful it is when people live together in harmony! This is as precious as the oil used to anoint Aaron, running down from his head onto his beard, onto the collar of his clothes. It's like the dew of Mount Hermon that falls on Zion's mountains. That is where the Lord gave his blessing of life that lasts forever." - Psalms 133:1-3 (FBV)

You and I are an integral part of where the Lord gave His blessings that last forever. So, we must flock together as His sheep, so we can give our Shepherd joy.

When one sheep is missing from the flock, the Shepherd is grieved and has to look for it. Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. - Psalms 100:3

Sheep are happy and secured when they flock together with other sheep. Know that you possess the Corporate Spirit of God when you are already happy, collaborate, and cooperate with other sheep of God, doing His will. Otherwise, you are in good Spiritual shape when you are in good tunes and actively collaborative in God's work with other believers.

"Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?" - Psalms 24:3 (FBV)

All of us are His sheep when we allow His Corporate Spirit to govern us.

When He saw the crowds, Jesus was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. - Matthew 9:36

In conclusion, a Pastor or leader is required to lead the people of God in love, so that the Corporate Spirit will manifest as a cloud.

Now, whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it. - Exodus 40:6

You are going to Church to serve Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church. - Ephesians 5:22-25

Praise the Lord!

Prayer: I come to the flock, O Lord of the Sheep. HERE I AM, LEAD ME!

Surviving By Gods Grace

 

An Emoji Devotions for Mon 2, December 2024

Topic: Surviving By God's grace

Highlight:

Genesis 14:19-20 ERV
He blessed Abram and said, “Abram, may you be blessed by God Most High, the one who made heaven and earth. And we praise God Most High, who helped you defeat your enemies.” Abram gave Melchizedek one-tenth of everything he had taken during the battle.


The only answer to our future is Jesus. When things seems dark or even bright Jesus is our only hope of glory. The above Bible passage is a public declaration of God's favor upon Abram, setting him apart as a recipient of divine grace. After that encounter, Abraham survived by the grace of God even up till this moment. God is the only survival place for everyone. Until we accept this then we will begin to see His glory. The Bible says in James 1:17 that Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens.
So God is our Father and we can only survive by His grace. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

So Surviving By God's grace does not mean to carelessly live our lives out there. It is pointing us to associate ourselves to things that comes as gift from God. Example of God's gift wisdom, wisdom is a good gift that comes from God and every sons and daughters of God need to ask God for wisdom so as to live a triumphant life.

In the grace of God is to accept the gift of God. You are not your own, for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body 1 Corinthians 6:19

Whenever we neglect God's gift (every good  and perfect gift that comes from the Father) and go after the inventions of men, we are working for the wages of sin. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 6:23


The gift of God is also eternal life and It's only through Jesus Christ we can enjoy the gift of God. Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. John 10:1.

That is why we should survive by grace of God through Jesus Christ. If you do not know Jesus and you wish to know him. You must first accept Him as your Lord and Savior (as your gate) through which you will enjoy the gifts of God. Say this prayer: " Lord Jesus Omnipotent Savior, I have come to declare you as my Lord and Saviour, please save my soul and let me through into the joy of God's gifts"

Prayer: Lord Jesus grant us the best gifts for our destiny from God which will turn us to immortal like you. Amen.
