INSECURITY IN LEADERSHIP - 31 JANUARY 2021

‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.’

Philippians 2:3 NLT
Here’s the dilemma of an insecure leader: if others excel in doing a job, they fear it will make them look bad. But they also fear that if they do the job poorly, they will still look bad. So they try to do everything themselves. As a result, they fail to succeed or their success is limited.

Paul addresses it this way: ‘Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too’ (vv. 3-4 NLT).

Secure leaders are able to believe in others because they believe in themselves. They aren’t arrogant; they know their own strengths and weaknesses and respect themselves. When their people perform well they don’t feel threatened. They go out of their way to bring the best people together, then build them up so that they will perform at the highest level. When a secure leader’s team succeeds, it brings them great joy. They see that as the highest compliment they can receive for their leadership ability.

'Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others, than being ill at ease with yourself.’

So what should you do?

1) Know yourself. If you’re not naturally self-aware, ask someone you trust to name your three greatest strengths and weaknesses. Don’t defend yourself when you hear their answers. Gather the information and then reflect on it.

2) Get help. You deserve it, you’re worth it! As you begin to overcome insecurity you will rise to a new level of blessing and achievement.

Luke 2:1-24, Psalms 13-15

Christ is Life. John 3:16

WORD FROM THE LORD.
Reading Psalms last I noticed something amazing. The musical term SELAH in numerous verses and places. So for any Muslim who still wishes to place Mohammed as the Holy One in the book of Habakkuk 3:3 OT it's not here and you will need to find another place, as I originally said SELAH is a musical term and proven as scripturre interprets scripture to the Truth of His Word.

Psalm 3:1-8 KJV — A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

Please seen psalm 4 and 9 for the same word plus many others places too.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

Mark at Christ is Life.

Christs Church is a European White mans religion the naysayers claim. Sure it is.

MOHAMMED CLAIMED TO BE A WARNER ONLY FOR ARABIA.
I will demonstrate here that according to the Quran Mohammed is a warner and only for Arabia. If therefore this claim is true he was a prophet only for Arabia, but if this claim is false he was neither for the Arabs or the World. By ascribing universality to Mohammed and the Quran is to exceed the claims Allah and the Quran itself.

Following are my reasons supported by Quranic verses
1) "(Mohammed) You are only a Warner and for every nation there is a guide." (13:7). The Warner mentioned here by the Quran, proves that as per his own standards Mohammed can only be a guide for his nation i.e. The Arabs.

2) "And we have sent no messenger but with the language of his people, that he might make (the message) clear for them." (14:4). Once again this Qur’anic verse proves that as per his own standards, Mohammed can only be a guide for Arabic speaking people.

3) "He is (Allah) who has raised among the unlettered people a messenger from among themselves" (62:2). So Mohammed claims only to be a prophet for "Umeen" the unlettered people of Arabia.

It is also interesting to note here that "Umeen" could also mean people of Makkah (note-4).

4) "And this (Quran) is a blessed book which we have revealed, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, so that you (O prophet) may warn the mother of the cities (Makkah) and those around her." (6:92)

"And thus we have revealed to you an Arabic Quran, so that you may warn the mother of the cities (Makkah) and those around her." (42:7)
These two verses clearly show that Mohammed claims to have received a revelation in Arabic to warn people of Makkah/Mecca and those living close to it, and who resides in Makkah/Mecca but the Arabic speaking people.

5) "Then we gave Moses the book, complete for him who would do good, an explanation of all things, a guidance and a mercy, so that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord." (6:154)

"And this (Quran) is a blessed book which we have revealed, so follow it and fear Allah that you may receive mercy." (6:155)

"Lest you (pagan Arabs) should say: The book was sent down to the two sects before us (the Jews and the Christians) and for our part we were in fact unaware of what they studied (because that book was in a different language)." (6:156)

These verses claim that the book given to Moses was complete. The Quran was revealed because the book of Moses was in a language foreign to the Arabs and they could have made this as an excuse for not following the book of Moses.

6) "Verily, We made it a Quran in Arabic so that you may be able to understand" (43:3). This verse is clear enough to prove that Quran is in Arabic so that Arabs can understand it. To say that this book is for non Arabic speaking people is as ridiculous as telling a Zulu person, "I have written this book in English so that you can understand it."

How did this happen? To understand the growth of Islam you need to go back to Mohammed and the beginning of his ministry. A ministry that lasted for 23 years, theses are the years of supposed divine revelations 13 years in Mecca/Makkan and ten years before his unexpected death.

The Makkan Phase - of the revelation lasted about 13 years, from the first revelation up to the Hijrah. This phase is determined by the prime task of the Prophet to call people to Islam. The main themes of this call, based on the Quranic revelation are as follows:

•Allah and His unity (tawheed)
•The coming resurrection and judgment
•Righteous conduct

The role of the Prophet in this phase is in particular that of an announcer and warner.

PART 1/2

PART 2/2

The Madinan Phase - lasted about 10 years, it was the to last from the Hijrah an Islamic version of Exodus, up until the unexpected death of the Prophet. While the basic themes of the Makkan phase remain, the factor of the Muslims’ growing together into a community and the formation of the Ummah, and an army, now makes Islams presence clearly, the war mongering Islam we know today, was politically built here in theses 10 years.

In Madinah, there are four groups of people to be met:
•The Muhajirun (immigrants), who migrated from Makkah to Madinah
•The Ansar (helpers), who originated from Madinah and helped the Muhajirun
•The munafiqun (hypocrites), who are from Madinah and pretended to support the Muslims
•The Ahl Al-Kitab (People of the Book), that is, Jews and Christians, with their respective scriptures

In addition to these the Quran also continued to address an-nas (mankind), that is, all people, and referred to the disbelievers and ignorant ones.

So did Mohammad come with a revelation from God for all of mankind? Clearly not he came to maniuplate the pagan Arabs, for the sole purpose of worldly fame and riches, you see Mohammed was a very clever politician, but not a clever prophet whose revelations over 23 years clearly demonstrate a lack of understanding into both Judisiam and Christianity, and a God who cannot make up his mind, (Checkout Islamic Abrogation) especially when as a warner for the first 10 years in Mecca you realise the amount of Jews and Christians did Mohammed convert? with his supposed godly scriptural knowledge especially when they claim its the Third Convenient, the answer is hardly any converts from abrahamic line, but a mere handful.

STAY CALM! - 14 OCTOBER 2020

‘Keep your head in all situations.’

2 Timothy 4:5 NIV.

A woman was sitting in her lounge when a small black snake suddenly appeared, slithered across the floor, and made its way under the sofa. Being deathly afraid of snakes, she ran to the bathroom to get her husband, who was taking a shower. He came running from the shower with just a towel around his waist, grabbed an old broom handle from the cupboard, and began poking under the sofa. At this point the family dog awakened. Curious to see what was happening, the dog came up behind the husband and touched his cold nose to the back of the man’s heel. The man, thinking the snake had bitten him on the heel, fainted. The wife concluded that her husband had collapsed with a heart attack, so she ran from the house to a hospital just a street away. The ambulance drivers promptly came to her house and placed him on a stretcher. But as they were carrying him out, the snake reappeared from underneath the sofa. One of the drivers got so frightened that he dropped his end of the stretcher and broke the man’s leg. Seeing her husband’s twisted leg, the wife collapsed on the spot. Meanwhile, the snake slithered quietly away! An old African proverb says, ‘There are forty kinds of lunacy, but only one kind of common sense.’ Acting impulsively usually means things will get worse before they get better. So before you panic, calm yourself and ask God for wisdom and help, even in the simplest things.

Jeremiah 20-21, 1 Timothy 3

WHAT NOW?
Cut up some strips of paper. On each one, write a Bible verse that you find comforting and calming. Put the strips in a jar or small box. Then whenever you feel fear or panic growing, pick a strip and read the verse, making sure you really focus on the words and what God’s saying to you.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

RIGHTEOUS AND JUST - JANUARY 31ST 2021.
Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Romans 5:9)

Whenever we find the word just in the Bible, we can substitute the word righteous. This is true in both Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek. The translators of the King James Version alternately translated the same word as either “righteous” or “just.” They tended to use the word just in the context of legal processes and the word righteous in the context of practical living. But it is one and the same word.

The problem comes with the use of the word justified, which is often reserved for a type of legal transaction in the courts of heaven. But this practice means using only half of the signification of the word. To be justified means to be made just, or righteous. The word righteous comes right down to where we live—our homes, workplaces, or personal relationships. Just conveys a legal formality transacted in a remote courtroom. Scripture says (and this is a perfectly legitimate and correct translation) that we have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus. We cannot consider ourselves justified if we have not been made righteous. Justification is more than a legal ceremony or a change of labels. It is a change of character and life, and it is produced by the blood of Jesus. We have been made righteous with a righteousness that is not our own—the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

PRAYER RESPONSE
Thank You, Lord, for the blood of Jesus. I proclaim that by His blood, I have been made righteous with a righteousness not my own. Through the blood of Jesus, I am justified, made righteous, just-as-if-I’d never sinned. Amen.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

7 TIMES JESUS REVEALS HIS DIVINITY IN LAYMAN TERMS

1. Bread - I am the bread of life he who comes to Me shall not hunger. John 6:35

2. Light - I am the light of the world he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12 

3. Gate - I am the gate if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. John 10:9

4. Good Shepherd - I am the good shepherd the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep. John 10:11

5. Resurrection and Life - I am the resurrection and the life he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies. John 11:25

6. Way, Truth, Life - I am the way, and the truth, and the life no one comes to the Father, but through Me. John 14:6

7. True vine - I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. John 15:1 

The divinity of Jesus Christ is further illustrated in John 8:58. Jesus said, Truly, Truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am, which means that Jesus existed before His human life on earth. The pharsisies certainly understood him to mean exactly this. They accused him of blasphemy for equating Himself to God.

DIFFICULT TIMES - 01 FEBRUARY 2021

‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’

Romans 8:31 NKJV
Challenges are an unavoidable part of life. Whether we’re talking big world-changing events, or a day gone slightly wrong, our lives with God don’t often go exactly how we think they might. Being a Christian doesn’t mean that everything is suddenly smooth sailing. Our world, and each one of us, is still imperfect because of millions of choices that have shifted us away from the ideal that God created back in Genesis. But the great news is that we get to invite God into all of our challenges. Jesus promised to be ‘with you always, to the very end of the age’ (Matthew 28:20 NIV), and that includes the most difficult moments. When we invite God into our lives, He’s there for it all – every moment of joy, every challenge, and even every mundane Monday morning. When Paul wrote, ‘If God is for us, who can be against us?’ (Romans 8:31 NIV), he probably didn’t mean that no-one would ever disagree with God’s people or cause problems for them. He’d experienced his fair share of challenges, so he knew that wasn’t true. It seems more likely that Paul knew that whoever tried to stand up against Him, God had made a way for him to persevere regardless. Even when difficult circumstances arise, God is there with us, and working for us. He will make sure that no-one can derail His plan. Life can be difficult, but we can count on the fact that successfully living out God’s plan doesn’t depend on us or our circumstances, but on God. And He is always for us.

WHAT NOW?
The next time that something goes wrong, big or small, make a choice to look for a sign of God’s love and provision in the situation, and tell someone else about it. God will be there.

Exodus 16-18, Matthew 18:1-20

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

JESUS DESIGNATION
By merely looking at a seed, it is difficult to tell what type it is or what kind of plant it will become. However, when it is sown and grows to become mature, everyone can see plainly what kind of grain it is.

This is designation. The Lord likened Himself to a grain of wheat. As the only begotten Son of God, Christ possessed only divinity. Then He stepped out of eternity into time with His divinity into humanity. He was the embodiment of the Triune God. In Him was life, the life of God (John 1:4). Thus, as the grain of wheat, He possessed within the shell of His humanity the eternal life of God. Not only was life within Him; He was life itself (11:25; 14:6).

In John 10:10, Jesus told the Pharisees, “I have come that they may have life and may have it abundantly.” The purpose of His coming was that the life that was within Him could become ours as well. Hence, as the grain of wheat with the eternal life of God within the shell of His humanity, He fell into the ground and died. Christ had to be crucified to be designated. The shell of His humanity had to be broken so that the divinity within Him could be released.

At the same time that a grain of wheat dies, it is also growing. This is what Paul speaks about in 1 Corinthians 15:36–37 when he says,
Foolish man, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies; and what you sow, you do not sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of some other.

We know that Paul was was speaking concerning resurrection because he goes on to say in verses 42–43: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power

May the peace of Christ be with you all.

WORD!

EVIDENCE OF JESUS OMNIPRESENCE AND OMNIPRESENCE
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God!” (John 1:47–51). This passage seems to point to Jesus’ omniscience and omnipresence. Nathaniel’s response to Jesus’ amazing knowledge was appropriate. Jesus is the Son of God!

Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people and needed no one to bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man. (John 2:23–25). Jesus knew the hearts of men, an indication of Christ’s omniscience.

Jesus told the woman (he had not met before) that she had had five husbands in addition to the man she was living with at the time (John 4:18). Jesus knew details about the woman’s life that he could not have known without access to divine omniscience. The woman said that Messiah would “tell us all things” when he comes. Jesus said that he was that Messiah. The Samaritan woman said to the men of the city, “Come, see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” (John 4:29). The woman thought that Jesus knew everything about her because he was Messiah.

Jesus answered the disciples, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil” (John 6:70). Jesus knew the heart of Judas.

Jesus knew that Lazarus was dead before he heard the news (John 11:11–14). This suggests omniscience at work.

His disciples said to him, “Now we know that you know all things, and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God” (John 16:30). Jesus’ disciples affirmed Christ’s omniscience, acknowledging that he came from God.

After the Resurrection, Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” And Peter answered, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you” (John 21:15–19). Peter affirmed Jesus’ omniscience. Then Jesus predicted how Peter was going to be killed (John 21:18). Out of his foreknowledge, Jesus accurately predicted Peter’s future.

May the peace of Christ be with you all.
