February 11, 2023Many are Called, Few are Chosen
Matthew 22:14 NLT
“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:2-3 NLT
“The Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a king who prepared a great wedding feast for his son. [3] When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!
The key note is the Father prepared for his son and the bride are the guests.
The foundation of God's kingdom is found on knowing Jesus Christ.
This is the key to the kingdom.
Matthew 22:4-6 NLT
“So he sent other servants to tell them, ‘The feast has been prepared. The bulls and fattened cattle have been killed, and everything is ready. Come to the banquet!’ [5] But the guests he had invited ignored them and went their own way, one to his farm, another to his business. [6] Others seized his messengers and insulted them and killed them.
Sending another servants after they refused the first call shows the stretch and extent of God's mercy.
What do we hold dear as humans to neglect the call of our Maker? What do you hold so dear that will make you deny the invitation of your Maker? Mind you the people that were called had already received invitation to show that they are no stranger to the caller.
Matthew 22:3 NLT
When the banquet was ready, he sent his servants to notify those who were invited. But they all refused to come!
THEY ALL REFUSED! NOT SOME BUT ALL!
The proportion of the people that will deny Jesus and not be part of the kingdom will be alarming. I do not say this things to make you sad.
Luke 14:18-20 NLT
But they all began making excuses. One said, ‘I have just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me.’ [19] Another said, ‘I have just bought five pairs of oxen, and I want to try them out. Please excuse me.’ [20] Another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’
The reason they refused:
I have just bought a field      and must inspect it.

I have just bought five pairs      of oxen, and I want to try them out.

I just got married, so I      can’t come.’

one to his farm

Another to his business.

Others seized his messengers      and insulted them and killed them.
Few are Chosen:
Response

Requirement
Matthew 21:31-32 NLT
"Which of the two obeyed his father?" They replied, "The first." Then Jesus explained his meaning: "I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do. [32] For John the Baptist came and showed you the right way to live, but you didn't believe him, while tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even when you saw this happening, you refused to believe him and repent of your sins(Wedding Clothes).

December 28, 2022 The Reason for Christmas 2
John 1:1-3 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Jesus Christ on earth does not mean he just appeared. Before the earth and heaven became he was.
John 17:5 NLT
Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
God created everything through Jesus Christ, he is never new to the progress or process of the earth realm.
He is the builder of this placed called earth.
But Jesus Christ did not build the place called world.
The world is system where humans took initiative to build a system against God's will.
Nimrod
Tower of Babel
Genesis 10:8-10 NLT
Cush was also the ancestor of Nimrod, who was the first heroic warrior on earth. [9] Since he was the greatest hunter in the world, his name became proverbial. People would say, “This man is like Nimrod, the greatest hunter in the world.” [10] He built his kingdom in the land of Babylonia, with the cities of Babylon, Erech, Akkad, and Calneh.
a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
The Book of Revelation… Before/Present/After
The coming of Jesus was the final straw for God to save humanity because his word will not change. TIME OF ENOCH & NOAH
Christmas is the celebration of the savior to the world. Not the world proposed Father of Christmas.
We have some denomination that don't celebrate this moment because of this.
Matthew 2:16-18 NLT
Herod was furious when he realized that the wise men had outwitted him. He sent soldiers to kill all the boys in and around Bethlehem who were two years old and under, based on the wise men’s report of the star’s first appearance. [17] Herod’s brutal action fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: [18] “A cry was heard in Ramah— weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeps for her children, refusing to be comforted, for they are dead.”
The birth of Jesus brought pain and sorrow to other families of the earth at that time.
They did not offend anybody, yet God allowed all these to ensure that every other humans on earth are saved…
The journey to salvation is not an easy road, many blood were spilled. Tears roll and the norm was broken.

November 27, 2022 The Blessing, The Place of Blessing and The Person of Blessing 4
THE PERSON OF BLESSING:
Genesis 30:30 - Amplified Bible
For you had little before I came and it has increased and multiplied abundantly, and the LORD has favored you with blessings wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household?"
Jacob became the person of Blessing that through him Laban was blessed.
God want to make into a person that many nations are blessed.
You need to possess the qualities that makes you a blessing to many people:
1. Encounter with God.
Genesis 28:11-15 NLT
At sundown he arrived at a good place to set up camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head against and lay down to sleep. [12] As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from the earth up to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the stairway. [13] At the top of the stairway stood the LORD, and he said, “I am the LORD, the God of your grandfather Abraham, and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I am giving it to you and your descendants. [14] Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will spread out in all directions—to the west and the east, to the north and the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants. [15] What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
2. Be a people's person.
Matthew 9:36 - New Living Translation
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
3. Gift and Talents.
Romans 12:6 - Amplified Bible Classic
Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith;
4. Loving God and Humans.
Matthew 5:44-48 NLT
But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! [45] In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. [46] If you love only those who love you, what reward is there for that? Even corrupt tax collectors do that much. [47] If you are kind only to your friends, how are you different from anyone else? Even pagans do that. [48] But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.
Acts 4:33 - Good News Translation
With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God poured rich blessings on them all.
The Person that carries God's blessing has the capacity to share with other people.
Many of us want to share the resources we have both tangible and intangible.
We still have some people that refuses to share whatever they have. This in itself is a distraction to the true blessing of God.
The enemy is very good at creating many things just to get the believers confuse on what they should be doing.
Romans 1:11 - Contemporary English Version
I want to see you and share with you the same blessings that God's Spirit has given me. Then you will grow stronger in your faith.
In turn we are supposed to be sharing the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.
In all thy sharing and benevolence ensure many souls receives the Holy Spirit through you. An example…..

November 27, 2022 The Blessing, The Place of Blessing and The Person of Blessing 3
THE PLACE OF BLESSING:
Exodus 3:17 NLT
I have promised to rescue you from your oppression in Egypt. I will lead you to a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.”’
Exodus 33:1-2 NLT
The LORD said to Moses, “Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ [2] And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
The place of blessing is where called it to be a place of blessing.
It is not in our place to give the place the name blessing.
We cannot choose the place called a place of blessing. What is place of blessing to one, is a curse to another.
Genesis 9:24 - Living Bible
When Noah awoke from his drunken stupor, and learned what had happened and what Ham, his younger son, had done, he cursed Ham's descendants: "A curse upon the Canaanites," he swore. "May they be the lowest of slaves To the descendants of Shem and Japheth."
The place of blessing will be filled with people or system that is bigger than you.
Deuteronomy 7:1 - New Living Translation
"When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are about to enter and occupy, he will clear away many nations ahead of you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. These seven nations are greater and more numerous than you.
The place of blessing involve putting down strongholds that will turn many heart to the enemy.
Deuteronomy 20:16-18 NLT
In those towns that the LORD your God is giving you as a special possession, destroy every living thing. [17] You must completely destroy the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, just as the LORD your God has commanded you. [18] This will prevent the people of the land from teaching you to imitate their detestable customs in the worship of their gods, which would cause you to sin deeply against the LORD your God.
Exodus 33:1-2 NLT
The LORD said to Moses, “Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ [2] And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
The Place of blessing is a place of covenant between God and people in faith.
What is the new covenant? God has a covenant with Abraham that made Israel came into existence.
The covenant brought them to nations they need to occupy.
The covenant direct their lives and how to live in the land.
Your place of blessing will be determined by the person you have covenant with.

THE BLESSING:
Genesis 27:28-29 NLT
“From the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine. [29] May many nations become your servants, and may they bow down to you. May you be the master over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. All who curse you will be cursed, and all who bless you will be blessed.”
WHAT WE THINK TRUE BLESSING ARE:
• Abundance and Possession.
• Praise and worship of humans.
• Significance in immediate community.
• Winning battles over your enemy.
Luke 11:9-13 NLT
“And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. [11] “You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? [12] Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! [13] So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”
WHAT THE TRUE BLESSING MEAN:
The Holy Spirit
The kingdom of God became the goal when this earth we seeing will be one day fold as a carpet.
2 Corinthians 5:4-5 NLT
While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies that clothe us. Rather, we want to put on our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by life. [5] God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

Genesis 12:2-3 NLT
I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. [3] I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
Genesis 1:22 - Contemporary English Version
Then he gave the living creatures his blessing-he told the ocean creatures to live everywhere in the ocean and the birds to live everywhere on earth.
Genesis 1:28 - Contemporary English Version
God gave them his blessing and said: Have a lot of children! Fill the earth with people and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the ocean, the birds in the sky, and every animal on the earth.
The Blessing is what everyone is rallying around but we are yet to harness the full blessing God sends on earth.
We have gone ahead to believe many other things has the blessings.
MYTHS OF THE BLESSING:
Genesis 2:9 - Amplified Bible Classic
And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired-good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of [the difference between] good and evil and blessing and calamity.
Genesis 15:1-14 NLT
Some time later, the LORD spoke to Abram in a vision and said to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram, for I will protect you, and your reward will be great.” [2] But Abram replied, “O Sovereign LORD, what good are all your blessings when I don’t even have a son? Since you’ve given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. [3] You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir.” [4] Then the LORD said to him, “No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.” [5] Then the LORD took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!” [6] And Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD counted him as righteous because of his faith. [7] Then the LORD told him, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as your possession.” [8] But Abram replied, “O Sovereign LORD, how can I be sure that I will actually possess it?” [9] The LORD told him, “Bring me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” [10] So Abram presented all these to him and killed them. Then he cut each animal down the middle and laid the halves side by side; he did not, however, cut the birds in half. [11] Some vultures swooped down to eat the carcasses, but Abram chased them away. [12] As the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a terrifying darkness came down over him. [13] Then the LORD said to Abram, “You can be sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be oppressed as slaves for 400 years. [14] But I will punish the nation that enslaves them, and in the end they will come away with great wealth.
