UNSEEN GOSPEL

Image
Click here for UNSEEN GOSPEL articles. Everybody reads the letter of the Gospel, and in fact even the devil has been enjoying it for centuries. But very few see the Spirit of the Gospel---or the Unseen Gospel. Paul said the Letter kills but the Spirit gives life [2 Corinthians 3]. He was talking of the old and new covenant here, but the same applies to the Gospel, for both the Covenants and the Gospel are the Word of God. And even if our gospel is unseen, it is unseen to those who are perishing. [CSGV 2 Corinthians 4.3] Picture above from Pujiang Longsheng Crystal Art & Craft Co., Ltd.   Unless you are truly surrendered to Jesus (and you no longer live but HE lives in you), a spiritual veil covers your face to prevent you from seeing the unseen Gospel. If you remain unseeing, you perish spiritually. Again, Paul said it clearly to the Corinthians: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the

Jesus' First Great Commission

Image
Shazoo.Ru For many years they've made Matthew 28.19-20 as Jesus' Great Commission, making disciples. But the idea was just humanly decided. Jesus never mentioned it as his "great commission" to the church. So I can also safely make my own great-commission selection . Any believer can. And I believe Jesus' first great commission is in Matthew 6. First Great Commission It's really "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." That's Jesus' prayer and it reflected his true mission on earth. To bring down the Kingdom of the Holy God on earth, make it fully operational here, and make heaven a genuine reality on earth. It's a supernatural commission. God's sons and daughters are the ones tasked here (that's why we pray "Our heavenly Father" ) and should have this mission-vision at heart. That's Jesus' first great commission. And the second one---making disciples of all nations---

Jesus' True Riches and Worldly Wealth

Image
Waterford Bank. A lot of Jesus' parables were on money or wealth and experts say it's proof that God wants us to be materially prosperous. Agreed. Yet Jesus wasn't rich (by worldly standards, at least). And you have a problem with this. I mean, how can you talk with authority on money if you're not rich? Where's your credibility? Yet, Jesus talked of his "true riches." Jesus' true riches and worldly wealth---do they connect? They keep saying this in church. A pastor can talk authoritatively about money only if his church is rich. Or if he has a thriving business. But if not, then he better talk of something else, they insist. Imagine a guy like Jesus---no job, no business, homeless, roaming the streets or remote places or hillsides, no pillow to lay his head on, picking leftover grains in fields. And then he comes and talks in your church about money. You think the church would listen? Perhaps, if it's really Jesus, the church probabl

When Your Prayers Get Nothing from God

Image
Image from Flickr. Here's Part 1 Don't panic when your prayers seem to get nothing from God. I stress on the word "seem." Often, it seems that way. Answered prayers are good, but you see, there's something in unanswered prayers that they're not telling us---either they don't want to or they don't know it---because they're "stuck" with answered prayers. 😏 Often (I said often , not always), answered prayers are for those who can't afford to wait, either they have less patience or they have urgent cases in their hands. But if God is working on you big-time, he intentionally prolongs your waiting, improving on your patience, because James says "patience (or perseverance) must finish its work so that you may be perfect and complete, not lacking anything." You're somewhat in the same situation as Abraham and Moses were (and other prophets and men of God) who suffered incredible delays or "wasting time

Unanswered Prayer is Favor

Image
Image from ColourBox. One day, I read somewhere in the bible. "Will he keep putting them off?" The phrase caught my attention years ago while in meditation. It was a powerful revelation. God sometimes intentionally "keeps putting off" the prayers of his "righteous (or chosen) ones." He deliberately delays or ignores our prayers, keeping them unanswered "day and night," not because of sin in our lives, but because he chooses to. Why does he choose to? I'll reveal it to you later. Here's the complete passage: And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? [Luke 18.7] I then understood God's point in Job. Job's prayers remained unanswered because God favored him, as God's earlier conversation with Satan revealed. Job's friends insisted that it was due to sin, or disfavor, because they didn't understand what was going on, though the

Prosperity in the Gospel

Image
Image from 8 Tracks. I was watching this popular Filipino evangelist on TV preaching about prosperity. I respect him and learn a lot when I watch him, but there are certain things I don't agree with him---like his view on God's prosperity. He suggested there may be something wrong with you if you've been a born-again Christian a long time and still poor. Yup, God's will is prosperity. I agree to the max. He even quoted 3 John 2 and Deuteronomy 18.8 and I believe them with all my heart. Yet, we have to get a hint from Jesus and see how he came to earth. He came as a poor fellow and left still a poor fellow, if not poorer. The same with John the baptizer. And look at how James (1) put it: Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them. 10 And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them. They will fade away like a little flower in the field. In the Old Testament, prosperity was material. But these are just shad
