DISCIPLESHIP THOUGHTS

 James 5:17-18 "Elijah was a man with human frailties, just like all of us, but he prayed and received supernatural answers. Good Morning, Disciple, Here is a gentle reminder from the Word, from the book of James: the Lord is urging us to grow up and align our thinking to HIS, to expect supernatural answers to our prayers. Stop begging your Father and begin to live like His son. Like Elijah—an ordinary man like us, yet passionate and sincere in his prayers. Take up this 40-day challenge. Commit yourself to it. Write down your requests on a piece of paper and pray over them JUST ONCE on DAY 1, expecting supernatural answers. From the DAY 2 until DAY 40 THANK FATHER GOD for answering your prayers.  Also, begin to journal what you experience each day through this Prayer journey. One thing is certain: by the end of DAY 40 , your FAITH will skyrocket, you will fall in love with your FATHER's PRESENCE . Your FELLOWSHIP with HIM will move to a new level, and you will not be th...

 Good morning, Disciple! How marvelous to wake up to a brand-new day. Before us lies opportunities, open doors, possibilities and untapped potential to discover. Yes, today we have the opportunity to GROW and be TRANSFORMED in our minds and become a little BETTER than yesterday. We have the opportunities to REST in HIM and WALK like JESUS walked. Does not our heart long for more of this kind of LIFE? What can STOP us from living an ABUNDANT LIFE? An UNRENEWED MIND is the ROOT cause  of the kind of FRUIT we are bearing now. Romans 12:2. Is there any hope for us to CHANGE from bearing BAD FRUIT to GOOD FRUIT in our lives? YES, and a resounding YES.   Many of God's people want INSTANT TRANSFORMATION , like instant coffee. There is a FRUIT BEARING PROCESS. Like a branch that ABIDES on the Tree, we need to be rooted and committed to abide in GOD's method of TRANSFORMATION. This is the hard and committed journey we DISCIPLES have to take.  How do we actually Change f...

Greetings, Disciple! The temperatures seem to have dropped a bit after yesterday's sudden thundershowers. How cool is that—to have such weather in the middle of a hot summer? It almost looks supernatural! A disciple’s life is primarily a SUPERNATURAL LIFE ; that is the default position. Today, GOD, our Heavenly FATHER, wants to remind us to RENEW OUR MINDS to this kind of living. Do not imitate the patterns of the world, who primarily live by their physical senses—by what they feel, touch, hear and see. We walk by faith. Our Lord gives us a tip in HIS Word on how to kick-start this kind of life. How can we live a supernatural life? We cannot do it on our own, with our “great” intelligence or our own strength. However, our Lord JESUS has promised the HOLY SPIRIT to those who ask Him. This is what He said in Luke 11:13: "If imperfect parents know how to lovingly take care of their children and give them what they need, how much more will the perfect heavenly Father give the Ho...

Hello Disciple, Good morning! Please Read Mark 2:1-12. If we have experienced the FORGIVENESS of our sins, then we have only tasted a small portion of GOD’s saving grace. We may choose to be fully satisfied with this and “stay there, rejoicing on the mat” for the rest of our lives. However, SALVATION is not limited to the FORGIVENESS of our sins only, It is only a DOORWAY to enter and enjoy our INHERITANCE in CHRIST—to “RISE and WALK HOME” so to speak. Sadly, the EKKLESIA today has largely focused only on FORGIVENESS. We have, in many ways, failed to teach and train God’s people to GET UP and GO BEYOND the DOOR—like the “religious Pharisees,” who did not partake and kept their followers in the 'dark' and restricted them with their manufactured “religious” doctrines (Matthew 23:13). Let not the limited, shallow, or narrow denominational perspectives STOP us from partaking in our full inheritance, which is available in CHRIST. If it is PROMISED in the WORD, then it belongs to ...

Hello Disciple, Good Morning! How are you keeping today? Let me say this at the start as a daily reminder: we are a special people, people of purpose, and our identity and self-worth are not derived from what we do, our failures, or what we have achieved in life. Our true identity is what God calls us. We are called His children; we are called righteous; we are forgiven; we are called saints; we are anointed; we are blessed; we are called sons of God; we are called a new creation, etc. This is our true identity in Christ. Read the Word and take a deep dive into our true identity. For too many years, we have ruminated on our failures of the past and the worries about the future and forgotten to meditate on our new identity in Christ. I know we have gone through a tough journey in life; as a result, we have built an understanding of who we are based on our experiences. Sadly, most of us are living out what we have nurtured in our minds. No matter how hard life may have been, we can star...

Dear Friend Good Morning! Psalm 139:2, 17 says, "You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.  How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!" Do you KNOW how PRECIOUS are GOD's thoughts towards you? Many in this world LIVE their lives daily in horror of the day when God will JUDGE them for how they LIVED on the earth. Others live in GUILT, SHAME, and CONDEMNATION in the present. They fear that GOD cannot LOVE them and HE would definitely cast them into hell for their many sins and crimes they have committed.  Some HATE anything to do with GOD, they harden themselves and deny HIS existence, that's their best 'escape' route they could makeup to hide from the REALITY of a CREATOR. Wherever you are in this SPECTRUM of THINKING, it says in the above scriptures, that GOD's THOUGHTS are precious towards you, HE LOVES you deeply and came down in the FLESH to PAY the PRICE for your FORGIVENESS. T...

Good morning Disciple! How has your day started? Don't tell me that your 'Anger' has gotten the better of you right at the start of the day. Anger is big issue that most of us struggle with. I had. For some reason, I thought this topic could be relevant to many of us, especially to those for whom it has become their second nature. Is there a good anger and a bad anger? We shall look at the above question in a later post. But for now, we will try to understand the process and production of this negative emotion . Simple—it all originates with a THOUGHT in our MIND. When a THOUGHT of Anger is repeatedly entertained, it dispatches neurons into our brain. The brain is the automation center of the Body.  The brain looks at these thoughts and says, “Okay, we have received a lot of consignment of 'ANGER THOUGHTS'; let me do the needful to activate the appropriate chemicals.” You see, our brain is designed to automate and accelerate processes. It works on what we provide it...
