*The efficacy of our gospel* by Apostle George Kuch

Sunday 26th May 2019 Apostle George kuch.

*The efficacy of our gospel*

 ```And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.```
[1Corinthians 2:4-5 KJV]

The biblical testimony to the efficacy of God’s word is clear, from our opening scripture, paul speaks from a place of authority as one fully persuaded of what was delivered to him. this is a man convinced without any obscurity of the instructions in this gospel!.
The word is real and effective, it is the very foundation of all existent material.

 He (the word) not only speaks creation into existence and  “ _upholds the universe by the word of his power”_ (Hebrews 1:3), but through the revealed word he promises and warns, blesses and curses, commands and calls, commissions and ordains, discloses and exposes, heals, delivers, takes possession, controls the elements, casts out demons, condemns, forgives, and raises the dead.

The efficacy of God’s prophetic and apostolic word is not just displayed, but also explicitly asserted: *the “word . . . that goes out from my mouth,”* God declares, *“shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it”* (Isaiah 55:11);  *“the gospel,”* Paul asserts, *“is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes”* [Romans 1:16]
Paul writes; *“the word of God is living and active,”* he says, *“sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart”* [Hebrews 4:12–13].
Its quite sad the gospel hasn't  effectively Penetrated our generation, the tangible manifestation of his infallible word has not been quite  realised among the children of God!. well, we have arrived, we are here to make manifest  this truth.
 *For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.*
[2Corinthians 1:20]

hallelujah, hallelujah! we have arrived! the word is working for us now!.

*Prayer confession*
Dear lord, iam a representative of this glorious  message, i affirm and specialize in it,  i manifest its glory in Jesus name.
I have arrived, i have arrived, i have arrived.., hallelujah. amen.

*I AM FREE OF STRESS.* (fear, anxiety and worry)

*CFI~WEEKLY DEVOTION®*πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬
Sunday 19th May 2019  Apostle George kuch

*I AM FREE OF STRESS.*
(fear, anxiety and worry)

 ```Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. [7] Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.```
[Philippians 4:6-7 NLT]


So many people feel or think it's right to get stressed. In fact they even say stress is part of life!, or it is mature to get stressed, its believed to be the "harsh realities of life!", how sad!.
Years ago as we grew up I witnessed the struggles in my family and the negative confessions of my parents which where some what birthed from the stress factor; I don't have money!, I don't know if we'll eat tomorrow!, this government has killed us!, we are doomed!.....
The negative utterances went on and on, we grew up in fear, just the thought of tomorrow was enough to block our happiness for today!.

 ```And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?``` [Matthew 6:27]

Well, I got news for you, *IAM STRESS FREE*, yes it's possible, that's what I have become, over the years I discovered a life worth living, hallelujah!,

 *Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light*.[Matthew 11:28-30 KJV]

The Greek word for rest here is *anapauō* meaning to cause or permit one to cease from any movement or labour in order to recover and collect his strength, a quietness of calm and patient expectation.
This kind of rest is only supplied by Jesus hallelujah!.

*Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.*
[John 14:27 KJV]
Jesus uses another word here "my peace", he calls it his peace, wow!

In Isaiah 26:3 KJV
*Thou wilt keep him in ~perfect peace~ , whose mind is stayed on thee : because he trusteth in thee.*

Well, the original Hebrew word there for "perfect peace" is *"shâlôm shâlôm"* which is rendered - *peace peace* - This wouldn't make a lot of sense in English, however the translators understood without any ambiguity the meaning of this. It's a perfection of peace. It's a peace with prosperity, a peace with good health, a peace with good friends, a peace with.....add it there..hallelujah! .., glory!, we have arrived!.
A friend of mine normally Say's "enjoying Jesus with money in the pocket". That's the life of a new creation.
Hallelujah!

*Prayer confession*
The Lord is supplying all my needs according to his riches in glory, I AM the light of the world, I AM the salt of the earth, the gospel is committed to my trust, I AM the manifestation of God's glory, I AM called to Glory hallelujah! Hallelujah!

*Living beyond "the harsh realities of life".*

*CFI~WEEKLY DEVOTION®*πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¬
Sunday 5th May 2019  Apostle George kuch

*Living beyond "the harsh realities of life".*

```But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.``` 
2 Corinthians 3:18 KJV

 From our devotion last week, we said: *"Christianity is a metamorphic life - a foward and upward life, a growing into perfection."*
We also said that you can not be the same man like yesterday, you've got to reprogram your self to respond to God's modus operandi, learn to yield fully to the instruction of God. Give his word a total takeover of your life, your entire decision making realm fully embedded on his will. For then you'll make your way prosperous.

I have realised that most Christians look at the now experiences of what to eat, cloth, friends to make, family pressures, job hunt's and the like.., Christians listen to the preachings and utterances of the gospel as mere strategies of unity amongst humanity and communities.
I have had thoughts like "beyond the excitements of the Sunday church services, we face the harsh realities of life!".
How sad!, Christianity is indeed - divinity in humanity-

 *For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.* 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 KJV

Once you recognise the word and take it on by faith, it begins to shape you into that man.

Romans 12:2, relates with the word....meter morphism, to "transmogrify" - transform in a surprising or magical manner.
The word has ability to change you inside- out. In a short while, men will be in awe at your new character and sense of speech.
It is at this point that your physical life begins to gain mastery of it's surrounding, the entire universe begins to respond to you because of the spiritual maturity you've attained.
Hallelujah!. We are making progress, we are yielding to the word of God voraciously!.
God bless you.
