God's dream

God's dream
God’s dream for man is something unattainable in man’s eyes, but this is why He is the author of faith. He materializes dreams in the life of those who believe, those who are willing to manifest their faith.

Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.” Genesis 37.9
If the sun, the moon and the eleven stars bowed before him, could there possibly be anything else on earth that would not bow down? God used something great, immense, to show Joseph the greatness of what He wanted to do.

Have you ever heard someone say, “Oh my, look how you’ve changed”? Well, this is what happened with Joseph, to the point where his brothers did not recognize him, because he was clothed in God’s dream. However, Joseph recognized his brothers, because they remained the same after so many years.
Though Joseph had been through so many problems, he carried within himself the conviction that sooner or later God’s dream would be fulfilled, because God does not reveal His dream to a person, so that he may die without seeing it fulfilled.

The sign that a dream is of God is an assurance, a conviction given by the Spirit of faith; therefore, nothing or nobody can rob it from you!

For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Philippians 2.13
God gives the dream and the power, which is faith, for the dream to be fulfilled. Without faith it is impossible to materialize the Dream of God!

Are you sure of this dream? So GO FORWARD BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF FAITH IS WITH YOU!!!!

Do not be envious

Do not be envious

There are people who haven't developed in the faith, even though they have been in the church for years they aren't born of God. Spiritually speaking they are still babies. Others, who came after them have already conquered the new birth. The Psalm 73 shows the reason why many pastors, members and assistants have failed.

Asaph served God in the Temple! He was faithful in his conduct, but he went through a great conflict within his heart. It was so tremendous that according to his own words his feet almost slipped. He almost lost his faith. Just because he set his eyes where he should not have, because he started to observe the prosperity of the wicked. This brought into his heart a cruel and terrible feeling, envy.

Sometimes the assistant has a correct life, but he fails because he starts to focus on others. Then he thinks; I am faithful to God and my life is like this. While there are people who are unfaithful to God and they are conquering. How can a person serve God in His Temple and at the same time be envious of other people? Asaph served God but accepted feelings of the devil.

There's no greater glory than serve God! The problem was not with the wicked but inside of him. When we face a problem we always look for someone to blame, but we should blame ourselves. The devil works the following arguments: you have been serving God for such a long time but look at how  your life is? Then the father says to his daughter, "Your sister has already got married but you have been single until today! What's the use of being inside of the church?" Satan tries to convince the person that he or she is wasting his or her time by serving God.

There is no greater wealth than ours! We have the power of God within us through the Holy Spirit. Our wealth is unmeasurable. He who have received the Holy Spirit, has received everything.

He who serves the Lord Jesus will be honored by God. “If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.”
  John   12:26  

Assistant, serve God with all your heart. Honor the Lord Jesus and you will be honored by the Father.

Ele sabe, voce não

Deus sabe de todas as coisas. Ele consegue ver tudo, ainda que seja invisível ou por mais escondido que possa estar. Ao contrário de nós, que só podemos ter o pleno conhecimento de algo se este estiver no campo físico, como nós estamos. É por isso que você não precisa provar sua fé para Deus – Ele já sabe exatamente como ela é. Mas você precisa provar sua fé para si mesmo – porque você nunca saberá como ela é até materializá-la.

Quando Deus pediu Isaque em sacrifício a Abraão, Ele sabia que Seu servo seria capaz de entregar o filho, mas era preciso que o próprio Abraão soubesse disso também. Era necessário que ele tomasse conhecimento de sua fé, pois só assim saberia que as bênçãos seriam uma reação de Deus à sua atitude. Então, finalmente entenderia que tudo o que ele gostaria que acontecesse em sua vida dependia exclusivamente dele. Abraão só descobriu o seu potencial e o que era capaz de provocar quando materializou a sua fé.

Nós só tomamos conhecimento da fé que existe dentro de nós quando a exteriorizamos por meio de uma atitude. E somente quando há essa atitude, colhemos os frutos, e podemos perceber que eles são resultados daquilo que fizemos – uma reação de Deus à nossa ação. É aí que descobrimos que tudo o que queremos depende de nós – e não de Deus. Passamos a estar cientes da nossa participação e do poder que existe em nosso interior.

As pessoas que ficam de braços cruzados esperando que Deus faça algo por elas são justamente as que não materializam a fé. Elas optam por manterem a sua crença guardada dentro de si – e, assim como sua fé, seus sonhos também permanecem dentro delas, sem se realizarem no campo material. Se Deus as respondesse apenas pelo fato de conhecer a fé que há dentro delas, então elas nunca saberiam que suas vidas dependem de si mesmas, e sequer fariam a sua parte – se já não a fazem sem a resposta de Deus, imagine se fossem respondidas?

A forma como Deus trabalha é perfeita e inteligente. Ele quer que saibamos o mesmo que Ele sabe, por isso nos convida a materializar a fé. Deus consegue enxergar todo o nosso potencial, e não apenas quer falar conosco acerca dele: Ele quer que venhamos a enxergá-lo também de forma física, concreta e incontestável.

Depois de provar a si mesmo a própria fé, é impossível deixar-se abalar pelo que quer que seja. Deus sabe como ela é, mas você não. É por isso que Ele lhe convida a descobrir. Agora, a decisão é sua: vai materializá-la e colher os frutos ou escondê-la para morrer esperando?

The Holy Spirit is Everything

He who has the Holy Spirit, has everything. 

"But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him." I John 2.27    

 By reading these verses we can easily understand that a person filled with the Holy Spirit is totally independent. He or she is a fountain of life that is able to bring life upon those who are in need of help.  Actually, this is the main reason why God has chosen us to serve Him.  He chose us and gave to us His Spirit for us to do exactly what He would do if He were here in person. He sent His Spirit not only to dwell inside of us but also to give continuation to everything that he had started to do more than 2000 years ago. 

More than you have invested in your love life, family, financial life, health and many other things, you should invest in the anointing of the Holy Spirit in your life. Because with Him dwelling inside of you, you will become independent, free for you to do and to conquer whatever you want. Do not depend on someone else’s faith, otherwise you will never be successful in life.  Do you have a borrowed faith or the Spirit of Faith?

The Spirit of Faith

The Spirit of faith

Because of many scandals that have happened among evangelists have made many people to stay away from the truth. Satan has acted in the life of those who are irreverent and undisciplined in order to push people away from there salvation. The undisciplined one causes problems for himself, his family, his friends and all those who are around him. The indiscipline of Dathan, Korah and Abiram cause there families and all their belongings to be swallowed up by the earth.. God does not tolerate those who are  undisciplined and rebellious.

There are many servants carrying a title inside of the church, pastors,bishops,assistants, pastor’s wife, but they haven't lived according to the word of God. They haven't lived in holiness before God and they have got involved with things that do not please God. These servants think that the work they do inside of the church can cover and compensate for their bad conduct. They are being deceived by the deceiving spirit which is the spirit of indiscipline.

The word discipline comes from the same root of the word disciple that means learner, ‘a person who is learning a subject or skill.’ In other words, the disciple of the Lord Jesus is disciples and oriented  by the Holy Spirit, and because of that he walks in accordance with his instructions. He who submits himself to the discipline of the word of God, he puts himself in the condition of a son of God,but he who does not accept God’s correction, then he puts himself in the condition of a rebellious person. He who follows the discipline that comes from above is spiritual, but he who reacts it is carnal. He who submits himself to discipline is humble, but he who does not accept instruction is proud.
