Be The Difference! Part 2

by King Julius Kwedhi

"Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"
(Philippians 2:5 ASV)

Weymouth renders this verse thus: "Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus."(Philippians 2:5 WNT). By disposition, he is talking about a mindset, a worldview, a tendency to do something; temper or natural constitution of the mind; an inclination of the mind, a propensity, the way your mind is framed, disposed and arranged. A mindset. He says, the way your mind should work is exactly as that of Christ Jesus. And no one should be able to change that. If you remember Christ so well you will not be quick to forget that He was challenged many times to change the way He thought. He was beaten for it. He was rejected for it. They spat on Him and wanted to stone Him all because of the way His mind was set. His thoughts were not conformed to the expectations of his contemporaries who claimed to worship God but couldn't see that God was right in front of them.

They could not change Him. One beautiful and remarkable thing to notice about Jesus is the fact that He did not attend, even once, the schools of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Herodians or whatever other schools were present in His time on earth. As such they could claim nothing from Him, to say that what He knew was all that they taught Him. Faced with this challenge they therefore sought to find something wrong with His worldview and teachings so that by pointing it out they will prove Him to be false and eventually put an end to His ministry. They tried to make Him think and reason the same way they did, but to no avail.

"And on the Sabbath He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands?" (Mark 6:2 ESV).

They were perplexed and bewildered by this young Charismatic Jewish Teacher Whom they thought they knew. "...Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from?..." (John 7:28 AMP) Of course they did not know Jesus.

Further Scripture Reading:

Timothy 4:12 ESV "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."

Timothy 3:10 ESV "You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness."

2 Masters

2 Masters Deut. 18:14 - 'For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. One of the main reasons Saints of God today are not being blessed is because they are serving 2 masters. And when I say blessed, I'm not talking about money! Atheists, agnostics, homosexuals, luciferians, etc. all can have money without being blessed of God, so get that out of your head. We have been programmed to hear the word blessing and automatically reach in our wallets and pockets, but working will get you money. God does not have to shovel out cash because he doesn't have cash, men do! So, work and you will havemoney! But when I say blessing, I'm talking about, your children being free from the devils strongholds, your marriage being sound and loving, your home being free from witchcraft, your possessions being safe from robbers and ...

Open Heaven

by Prophet Dr. David Owuor TO DRAW AN UNDERSTANDING on this novel segment on the visitation of the GODHEAD, it is indeed indispensable that we examine one other aspect relating to such a monumental visitation upon the face of the earth. Whenever the GODHEAD chooses to leave HIS dwelling in heaven and come down upon HIS people, the most inevitable occurrence that can not be precluded from any engagement underscoring it, is the fact that such an occurrence always invariably leads to an OPEN HEAVEN over the church. We are vividly reminded here when the LORD Jesus took the three confidants who were close to HIS heart up the Mountain of Transfiguration. The visitation that accrued thereon became a monumental milestone whose bearing continue to ramify the hearts of the believers owing to the fact that it was at that summit that the Perfect Lamb...
