More Than Mental Faith

By Date -
MEDITATION

James 2:10-26
More than mental faith and confession

1. The laws of God by which man will be judged are more than the 10 commandments vv9,10. 
2. 99.9% obedience = 100% disobedience to God vv10-13. No man can please the Holy God by good works without definite salvation or new birth experience.
3. While good works cannot save any except by personal faith in Christ, genuine faith is known by the good works we manifest vv14-16.
4. Divine Mathematics
a. Good works - faith in Christ = 0% (total failure). Galatians 2:16, Ephesians 2:8,9.
b. Faith in Christ - good works = 0% (total failure) vv14, 17, 26.
c. Faith - good works = vain religion v20. 
c. A man of faith without a new life in Christ is not better than Satan v19. 
d. Faith + fruits of repentance + good works = 100% v22.
e. Any score less than 100% is failure v10.
Who said new birth minus holy living is sufficient?



Lord, I realise that good trials are not enough, give me the new birth that will turn my efforts into experience of sonship power.
Lord, I don't have confidence in my ability to please you, do a deeper work of holiness in me🙏
Pray for Church goers without new birth that they will see the need to come personally to Christ🙏
Pray for people in your community, that are deceived by mere religion of good works, that their eyes will opened to the need for Christ🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known.

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
