Do We Really Believe We Have Eternal Life?

"And whoever lives and believes in Me *shall never die*. Do you believe this?””John‬ ‭11:26‬ ‭‬‬

Do we really believe this? What would be our response if someone told us we will never die? Like physically.... And that we've been given the opportunity to live forever, being healthy, prosperous and victorious?

-We would not be afraid anymore when they say there's a pandemic

-If there's a lion outside we won't worry 😄

-We would no longer be anxious about "what if something happens to me."

-We would now have total freedom from fear, because all fear is rooted in the fear of death!

I think we underestimate what Jesus came to give us when he died on the cross. When the Bible says we as children of God now have eternal life, it's greater than we understand.

“Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, *and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage*.” Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-15‬

No more fear. No more bondage. We have eternal life!

Diaspora

Diaspora is not a new concept but began early in biblical times. When Israel had trouble, they would come down to Africa. During the famines in the days of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Africa was the land of refuge. Fast forward to Jesus: When his life was under threat in Israel, God spoke to His parents to flee to the diaspora, and they were refugees in Africa until Herod died. Nowadays we as Africans are accustomed to taking refuge in other nations, but should never forget our potential. God used Africa to preserve the Seed that would bless the nations. I believe Africa will once again be a place of refuge for all the nations. May it surely come to pass, in Jesus name.

80 is the new 20

It's believed that Moses was 40 years old when he left Egypt in Exodus chapter 2. From there he lived another 40 years before God called him and sent him back as the deliverer of Israel from the yoke of the Egyptians. "And Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh. Exodus 7 vs 7" So at 80 years of age, Moses started his career. Much of the life of Moses that we know is when he was 80 years of age and up. Even Today For my fellow FIFMI family, did you know that when our father Apostle Dr. EH Guti enrolled in Bible School, he was almost 50 years of age? During that time, the church was still in its infancy, and all the great things that we now know God has done through him were difficult to imagine or speak of. But today, even now at 97 years old , he's still running daily, making plans, winning souls, planting churches, and preaching the gospel. When the world says its time to retire, God's timeline says it's t...

A Covenant Must Not Be Broken - Joshua 9 vs 3 to 18

May there be a revival of the true fear of God, so that the sacredness of a spoken oath may be restored in our generation. Today we say "a promise" in our modern language. Same thing. Our generation just doesn't understand the seriousness of the offense in heaven's view when a covenant is broken. The fact its, we need revival. What was it that caused Joshua and the leaders of Israel to keep their word, even though they were deceived by the Gibeonites? They genuinely believed God was there. When i know that He is present, and that heaven makes a record of my words, i will fear to make a covenant, and do it with fear and trembling. This kind of fear of God, oh how i want it! May God help me. Revive us oh Lord, to the genuineness that was found in your people in generations past. Forgive us and help us. Joshua 9 vs 3 - 6 3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,4 they worked craftily, and went an...
