Free from Moses' Law

Image
Many people still argue for or against the issue of Moses’ Law. Here is what I think about today’s Christians versus the Law. I think we are no longer under the law, Galatians 3. Paul says one who lives under the law is cursed. The law was there because was resided in people. so God introduced the law to manage the sin that was in them, one who was a thief would not because he can manage but because he/she feared being stoned. So people were not free sin. It was suppressed in them. they lived in it. That’s why Jesus came to free us from the curse of the law. Now that we are baptized and have Christ in us, sin is no more and dead. Sin no longer lives in us. So we are not sinners but righteous. Not that we are perfect but that Christ is in us and if Christ is in you, can He reside together with sin? hell no. we are free. I don’t need the law to manage me, my heart testifies what it is true or not through Christ who is in me. My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and if He is in me

Faith

Faith is not a brain washing tool. Its a reality. Jesus really meant it that one can literary move a mountain. Look, He cursed a tree and it withered. He walked on water. Peter's shadow healed people while walked along streets. John was blind and he saw a new heaven coming...They casted out devils. Paul healed the sick. Philip could disappear and be in any place anyhow. The reality of a miracle is not in the ability of a pastor but in Christ who lives in Him. Jesus makes the miracles possible. HE IS THE WORD and it is the WORD that makes all things perfect. I pray God will give a true undeterred understanding of faith. Its REAL, I have and always see it in action. I can prove it because Jesus is alive and so so real. Need any proof?

HOW TO BECOME A FALSE APOSTLE OR PROPHET

Realize that Jesus said the false will use His name... have we not PROPHESIED, CAST OUT DEVILS, DONE MANY WONDERFUL THINGS; in YOUR NAME? (Matt.7:22) All these things are genuinely from God, they are the works which follow those who believe. And INDEED, IF SATAN CAST OUT SATAN, HE IS DIVIDED AGAINST HIMSELF, HOW SHALL HIS KINGDOM STAND? (Mat.12:25,26). So this particular address is not to the agents of Satan, because they know their m aster and cannot seek to be addressed by another! Listen to the next statement by Jesus... I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity. (Matt.7:23).  Let me ask this, IS IT TRUE THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT "KNOWN" BY JESUS? You got it right, He KNOWS ALL!!! So what was He saying? Well, this is it, let me rightly divide the Word of Truth. The word "know" used there is Gk. "ginosko" and the exact contextual meaning He referred to is "I NEVER ALLOWED YOU". This takes us to 1 Samuel

PRIDE...

People have been robbed by the devil into thinking that pride is the acknowledgement of one's abilities; but I will show something else. Every business must be run by the proud since they advertise only about their strengths, and every marriage then must be started by proud man who convince their spouse that they are the real deal. Lemme run this; pride is the thing which makes God resist y ou; so Peter should have been resisted for saying "what I have I give", Paul for saying "whoever does not preach what I preach, even an angel from Heaven, must be accursed!!! But that wasn't pride, It was knowledge of who they were and what they had from God... PRIDE IS RIGHTLY THE INDEPENDENCE FROM GOD! WHEN WE DENY GOD'S TOTAL SUPREMACY OVER US, WE LIVE IN PRIDE. EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT RECEIVED CHRIST IS A HAUGHTY PERSON, AND EVEN IF GOD LOVES THEM THEY WILL GO TO HELL; JUST LIKE SATAN! In Isaiah 14, God shows us why He resisted satan- satan wanted t

We Can Prosper By a Different Set of Rules...

Image
By Strive Masiyiwa A business associate of mine called me one day very excited; his close relative had just been elected President of their country! But as I listened to this London based professional banker, I realised a familiar story: He was already lining up "deals" ...back home, for himself!! Sadly this is what having a relative or friend in office or even as a clans man in office means to a lot of people on this beautiful continent of ours, Africa. There are a lot of people who also believe strongly that it is not possible to build successful business in Africa, unless you have powerful political "connections" or are prepared to share with those who award contracts and tenders. This belief is still so prevalent, that many who do it and "appear" to prosper by it do not even realise it is wrong. To unlock the full potential of Africa, we have to change the way many people think business should be done. On becoming a Chri

Prepare to Fly!

Image
By Strive Masiyiwa A young woman sat on a park bench over lunch. And while she sat there she noticed a butterfly trying to come out of its cocoon. She watched it struggle and struggle for more than an hour. Eventually feeling sorry for it she reached for a small scissors, and gently used it to clip open the cocoon. To her surprise the butterfly that was released did not fly away it just sat there totally crippled. You see, what she did not realise was that the struggle a butte rfly goes through, is what pumps blood into its wings so that it may be able to fly! Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. The eagle is an unusual bird, because it has mustered the ability to fly into a storm. It "mounts" strong winds as though it is going up a staircase. It is the only bird that you will find flying during a storm. T

We Need To Build Our Own Enterprises, For The Global Game

Image
Extract from a speech by Strive Masiyiwa Every year I get approaches from big international companies who want to buy the whole of Econet from me. Some of these offers are usually very generous in their valuations. From a business principle, there is nothing wrong with such approaches. It happens all the time around the world. There is only one reason I would never sell, and that is because we do not yet have enough high profile multinationals built by Africans, to which young Africans can look to and say to themselves, "yes we can.. we Africans are able to build enterprises which can operate in the global environment!" For the next stage of Africa's unstoppable march to prosperity this is very important. Can you imagine Japan without its own Toyotas, or America without Coca Cola? What makes you think Africans do not also want to look up and see large African enterprises? Companies like Econet are there as a beacon to a new generation of African
