What we have not known or observe for a
very long time now, or maybe we are
ignorant of it, is the realisation of Jesus
Christ in our heart.
Many of us accept Jesus because we were
bone among Christians, many of us goes to
church because it our religion or we are
been force to, or maybe just may be, we are expecting to meet someone, because many
of us goes to church to see what is enticing
and pleasing to the flesh.
The gospel we hear today in our churches
are now limited in this our present time by
the work of the man of darkness(devil),
through the people we hear these teaching
from. These people we hear this gospel
from, has choose to work and teach the
gospel according to philosophy and
according to elemental spirit of the world or
from their personal self observation, or
maybe, the way others are teaching it.
That we should no longer be children tossed
to and fro and carried about by the
doctrine; by the trickery of men in the cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait
to deceive (Ephesians4:14.
Most time this people are people who we
respect, people who appear to be holy.
Having a form of godliness but denying it
power, And from such people turn away.2Timothy3:5.

If we keep listening to this people because it pleases our heart and because of the way
we see the gospel and the way it has being given to us by the people, the more they
become barrier to us keeping us far away from the actual knowledge of the teaching
of God's word. We should be aware of false people, we should be able to test every spirit
and know if it is from God and to know what kind of interest and teaching comes
from them.
"But from those who seemed to be something-whatever they were, it makes no
difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man-for those who seemed to be something added nothing to
me." (Galatians 2:6).

They not let you obtain mercy and salvation
because them their selves don't think they need it.
But woe to you scribes and parishes,
hypocrites; for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in your selves, nor do you allow those who are
entering to go in.(Matthew23:13).

Some indeed preach Christ even from envy
and strife, and some also from
goodwill.(Philippians1:15).
there are still those who preach the word of God though the gift of the holy spirit and the grace which has been given to them but
we chose to despise them because we think it does not contain what we think is necessary or pleasing for our hearing.
The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains. (Phillippians1:16)
If we begins to seek the true understanding of God's gospel through Jesus Christ, then
we shall accept everything concerning him, giving up everything that pleases the flesh,
laying up strong foundation in heaven which are eternal through grace, not by work but by faith. (ephesians2:8 for by grace you have been saved Through faith, and that; not of your selves; it is the gift of God,
verse9; not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of man, according to the basic
principle of the world, and not according to Christ. (colosian2:8.
If we began to listen to the voice of God in our life through our conscience, the gift which he has given to us shall be established in our life. Many of us have purpose for living, living for Christ Jesus. Christ has died for us all, reconciling us all, who were dead in our iniquities to the Father.
Ephesians4:8 ... -therefore he says; "when he ascended on high, he led captivity captive and gave gift to men. We all have gift, a purpose to live for.
And he himself gave some to be apostle,
some prophet, some evangelist and some
pastor and teachers (Ephesians4:11.
We need to start working
with our Christ given gift, we have to help
those who are the head in the church to teach and to bring to work the gift that has been given to us through Christ.
Only by doing the work of God that we can be able to understand the mystery of the kingdom of God and the true meaning and
knowledge of the word of God to an extent required.
Ephesians3:17/19 - that Christ may dwell in your heart though faith; that you,more being rooted and grounded in love, (verse18 ; may be able to comprehend with
all the saint what is the width and length and depth and height-
(verse19) ; to know to the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with All the fullness of God.
We neglected our gift so long that we have forgotten it, living our life not fulfilling the
will of God due to lack of submission to God and false teaching.
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by
prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the Presbyterian. (1timothy4:14).

Verse15; meditate on these things; give your self entirely to them that your progress may be evident to all. (verse16); take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save yourself and those who hear you.
We should also know, once we work in God's way, the world will be against you. So when we see these things do not loose faith, for Christ strengthens you. If Jesus suffered for us, you also will suffer for Christ sake, because by this we obtain salvation in Christ.
Humble your self in all things you do, in long suffering with diligent search of the word of God. We are console in Christ Jesus,. (phillippians2:8 ; And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and become obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. We should give no place for pride, and self ambition, always humble for Christ sake even when hard pressed on everyside by our adversary.

2corinthians4:8; we are hard pressed on every, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9; prosecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed- 10; always carrying about in the body the dying of the lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
Bear one another burden and fulfilled the law of Jesus. Be bless.
