THERE IS NEED TO BE BORN AGAIN

There is no way a person can enter the kingdom of God without being born again. John 3:5 The kingdom of God will be established by God and will be made up of the Throne of the Majesty, the New Heaven, the Holy city and the New Earth. Rev 21:1-2. Nicodemus was a Pharisee who lived a moral life and studied the Mosaic laws made up of the Ten Commandments, the Ordinances and the Judgments. The teachings of Christ astonished Nicodemus as it was full of authority, power and followed with miracles and healings. He went to Christ at night to clear certain doubts that were in his mind. John 3:1-7

THE INHERITED SIN: The sin committed by Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden affected the whole human race. The spirit of God with the human spirit was blended before the fall of man .After the fall ,the spirit of God became separated from man because of the sin committed. In order to receive a new spirit and a new life a man must be born again. God spoke through prophet Ezekiel that a new heart He will give to man and a new spirit He will put in man. He will take away the stony heart and give man a fleshy heart. Ezekiel 36:26-27. The stony heart is the adamic nature in man that is not born again.

VARIOUS WAYS SIN IS COMMITTED

1. SIN THROUGH THOUGHTS

Human being is made up of the spirit, soul and the body. The soul is made up of the mind ,the mind is divided into two---the subjective mind and the subconscious mind ,the intellect ,will and the emotion. The human mind is the dimension the devil and his messengers is fighting to control in man. When the mind is controlled by the devil such mind will constantly be filled with sinful thoughts. 11corinthians 10:4-5.

2. SIN THROUGH WORDS

A lot of people are committing sin through the words that proceeded out from their mouth .A matured man is known by his words and a foolish man is known also by his words. An account of every idle word will be given on that day of judgment.Matt.12:36

3. SIN THROUGH DEEDS

A lot of people are committing sin through deeds .The way people are dressing, eating, drinking, playing to mention but a few is not to the glory of God. 1corinthians 10:3

Pimping God?"( ntwaetsile mmapula)

2Tim. 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Many Christians today are seeking the wrong things. We have to see the
things of God, the results of God, or feel something from God in order
to trust in him. We want our season/destiny/breakthrough/promise/blessing/vision/reward/
immediately, rather than daily trusting God and being lead to our
destiny by him.
Many of us are wanting things from God that only a
relationship with him can bring. We must not pimp God!!! God is more than a
breakthrough or a financial miracle!
God is more than an occasion to prosper or an emotional fix! God is a father! He wants to father his
people.
The children of Israel would get tired of waiting on God, so they would
just make their own God! They wanted what they could have immediately!
They would give up on the process and try to make swift progress!
Sounds familiar? That's where many of us are today! We want a
microwave relationship with God and we want to get what we feel we
deserve.
But listening to the mega-rich messages
has made many of us spiritual pimps! We now want to use God to break
us through, or bless us, and not even talk to him on a daily basis! We
don't want a father, we want a whore! "Please me Lord, gimme my
destiny, my season, my inheritance, etc", without knowing his voice,
knowing his feelings, turning from sin, or even reading his Word? We
don't want to obey him, but we want him to obey us! Stop seeking
things from God and seek HIM and things will be added! That's the
formula Jesus gave. Stop waking up each day, trying to build your life
on some man's formula for success to get things. God gave you the
master plan in his Word. You don't need to be purpose driven, you need
to be love driven. You don't need a method to
find your destiny, all you need is a visitation by the Holy Ghost!
Stop seeking what you can see and trust God daily. He will surely lead
you to the Kingdom and add the things that he has purposed for you.

Remember each and everyday you are one day near to your destiny.
