When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea
Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man
am?
And they said, Some say that thou art
John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.
(Matthew
16:13-19 KJV).
Jesus
Christ gave the kingdom keys to Apostle Peter because he tapped in God’s
mindset and revealed the thoughts of the Trinity. All the apostles could not
discern who Jesus Christ was. Most of the apostles and followers of Christ
Jesus doubted the divine nature of Christ Jesus because of the limitation of their
senses and the human nature of Jesus Christ. Peter used his spiritual senses to
engage Jesus and Jesus opened the door for him to access the kingdom keys.
Jesus
said to Peter “UPON THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH. This
means God searches for a man with the mindset of the Holy Spirit to work with. Know these spiritual truths.
- God cannot perfectly work with carnal, soulish, double-minded (unstable), and evil people.
- God searches for those who can discern the activities of His kingdom.
- God builds His kingdom on vessels that hear His voice.
- God emboldens His kingdom on a vessel whose heart is opened to receive from the Spirit.
- God construct His church
within a vessel who does not allow his five senses to dominate his sixth sense (faith).
Get my book “How to Unlock the Gate of Faith”
for a more profound revelation.
- God edifies His church through a man whose spirit, soul, and body are alive to the Holy Spirit.
- God edifies His church through a man whose spirit, soul and body is dead to demonic voices
- God works with a man whose nature is compatible with the Holy Spirit.
- God works with a woman who avails herself to be used despite her weakness.
- God advances His kingdom through a vessel who does not rest on the opinions of friends, families, and unbelievers.
- God works with a man who disagrees with the culture, deception, and wisdom of this world.
- God works with a man ready to stand alone for Christ Jesus.
This is one reason God chooses a few to work with. Many cannot stand the persecution of the
world so they reject the call of God.
- Many people cannot stand the arrows of the devil so they exclude themselves from the chosen ones.
- Many people agree with the evil traditions of this world so they exclude themselves from the chosen ones.
- Many people love the things of this world more than the things of God so God excludes them from the chosen ones. Remember the tree which does not bear fruit, God eliminates such trees (lazy Christians) from the soil (chosen ones).
- Many people do not have a strong faith to stand alone in the dry season so they reject the call of God.
- Many people are too logical and carnal so they reject the call of God.
- Many people cannot handle the kingdom keys and revelations so God excludes them from the chosen vessels.
- Many people are not willing to pay the price (fasting and prayers, feeding on the Word of God, reading Christian books and serving the church) so, they reject the call of God.
- Many people are wicked in the heart so they reject the call of God.
- Many people are ignorant so God excludes them from the chosen ones. Remember, God rejects the ignorant.
Jesus Christ further said
to Peter “THE GATES OF HELL
SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST ...
This means every leader
in God’s kingdom has the key to preventing the activities of the enemy. If Jesus
Christ is giving us the key to discern and break the enemy’s weapons, then it
means that we must search out for Satan’s weapons and the strategy he uses to
fight Christians and unbelievers to enable us to set them free from his
oppression. Know these spiritual truths.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes our Christian life stressful.
- Failure to discern and
break the activities of the devil makes Satan and his minions oppress, depress,
suppress, possess, and manipulate people. Remember, the devil came to steal,
kill, and destroy. Get my book “Visions of the Night”
for a more profound revelation.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes him take advantage of us.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes him hinder us in the ministry. Remember, Satan hindered Paul and his ministerial associates several times in the kingdom work. Get my series of books.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes us disobedient in the sight of God. Remember Jesus Christ said, I give you sword (See Matthew 10:34-39).
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes us unfruitful in the Church.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil brings havoc to the church.
- Failure to discern and break the activities of the devil makes the unbelievers take advantage of us.
Most often, when I watch
the videos of the early Christians who died by the hands of the unbelievers and strange
animals, I pray for divine vengeance. Most of them shouldn’t have died in that
way because God is a Warrior. God makes war, and we supposed to make war on our
knees and send the divine judgment of God upon these wicked forces and unreasonable, wicked people (Offspring’s of the devil).
must discern and break the advanced
strategies of the enemy to enable to us serve Christ Jesus and the church as
purposed (will of God) by the God Almighty.
