I have always wondered if the way we have been taught to view our relationship with God is correct. How does the Lord Jesus, address me in this life and how does the Father relate with me. We have had this mind that our Lord looks at us expecting us to be right all the time and hhe judges immediately and is so angry with our failures to the extent that He is so cross with that for being so childish and vulnerable. No wonder why most of us treat God as our number one enemy though we are His sons. Not only on failure even any other issue we have no understanding, we think if we take it to the Lord in prayer we should bring the matter in a way that shoul not scare Him or make Him think that we are carnal
Beloved, I have learnt that it is not so at all. I have learnt that the Lord Jesus first of all calls me His brother/friend remember He is the first born among many brethren meaning you are my brother and He is our brother.Emphatically YES, He is my Lord and King and Master this is His office but in the house He is my brother. My dad has a word I like - an oxymoron meaning a conjunction which is apparently contradictory - such is the nature of our God. He is so Holy and uncompromising yet He is so loving and so gracious. My Lord is both the Lion of Judah yet referred to as the lamb that was slain. He is God yet He is my Father, I choose the Father as God is for all.
Are you a servant?
I refuse to operate as a servant before God because I am a son. Jesus said in John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
- I am not a servant
- Servants haveno idea/clue what their lord is doing
- He has called me a friend
- he has made known to me all that the Father has made known to me
- We have an unction from the Holy One and we know all things (1 Jn 2:20)
God's Partners
Mark 16:20
And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen (KJV)
- They went and preached
- the Lord worked with them
- The Lord confirmed the word with signs
2 Cor 6:1
We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (KJV)
As God's partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God's kindness and then ignore it. (NLT)
As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain (NIV)
Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. (KJV)
And if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirswith Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him (NASB)
I am glad I am not a servant. I remember when I joined Trust Bank in 2002 one thing that made the staff love the brand was that we were given shares at joining the Bank. All that the Bank was saying was hey you are not a servant but an owner of this Bank. They tried but my Lord had a better plan for me to own the mandate. He say we are co-heirs with Christ, heirs of our God. I love working with my Father it is sweet to work with Him. I know this that He who began a good work in us will see it unto completion. No longer does He call me a servant but a friend. I honor you as my God and my Lord, yet I love you as my Father and my brother. Beautiful!!!!

JESUS GREW
LUKE 11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgement with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold a greater than Solomon is here.(KJV)
You remember solomon handiti? The man who spoke three thousand proverbs and whose songs numbered a thousand and five. Solomon described plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of walls. He also taught about animals and birds, reptiles and fish. Men of all the nations came to listen to Solomon's wisdom, sent by all the kings of the world, who had heard of his wisdom. 1 Kings 4:32-34.
Well a lot can be said about wisdom. Christ has been made unto us Wisdom according to 1 Cor 1:30. I have in me The greater than Solomon.
STATURE
Literally means one's build, natural height when standing, one's physique, one's figure/size
- Stature also refers to capacity to handle, importance, maturity or reputation gained by ability or achievement. I sometimes think about this as branding (thanks to my dear friend Thomas)
- When a board of directors for example is looking for a Chief executive Officer to run the Company one question they ask is this, ' does Mr Nyamayaro have the stature for this position?'. This refers to the second definition not the first. I support Arsenal lightly but I have heard people say, Arsenal stature this season can compete for the title.
I remember this scripture Ephesians 4:13 (Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:) KJV
This scripture explains it all - the stature refered to is not the height but maturity. My prayer is that we be endowed with the necessary grace and giftings to stand in full stature of our assignment. May the Father bestow upon us the necessary substance and worth. May He put in us the ingredients that will cause us to stand tall in our office of assignment. May the Lord Almighty adorn us with that Grace, the clothing of His Glory that our stature will surpass those that oppose His will. May we be clothed with the image of God. I remember long back Reinhard Bonnke saying he had visited a music shop. An assistant, just by seeing Bonnke ran away confessing,'I saw Jesus.' My Prayer Father is that we come to the full stature of our Lord Jesus Christ and thsoe who hear and see us will hear and see the full stature of our Lord Jesus. I am equiped, I am clothed in glory, I am adorned in grace and peace. The fullness of Jesus Christ dwells in me.
Eph 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (KJV)
The last thing in Luke 2:52 is favor. Jesus had favor with God and man.

Increase in Wisdom, Stature & Favor
Luke 2v52
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man (KJV)
And Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with god and all the people (NLT)
Its amazing how the Holy Spirit placed this detail in the Book of Luke. Regardless of Jesus being God, He grew. He increased in wisdom and in stature. He needed favor and Luke says He grew in favor also. Increase/grow - gain, make greater,advance to maturity,
I believ in this season this is the Word of the Lord for me - to grow in Wisdom & Stature and Favor. As Jesus grew, Admire is growing. He is my Lord and the Word says the firstborn among many brethren. I am growing in Wisdom indeed, In stature also there is increase. thank God for favor, I am growing in favor with God and with all the people.
WISDOM
Daniel 5:11-12 There is a man in your Kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar your father, the king I say thy father made master of the magicians, astrologers, chaldeans & soothsayers. In as much as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, explaining enigmas were found in this Admire
My God what grace such is. May the Lord grant us the required wisdom to stand and speak on His behalf, may the Father enrich us with wisdom like He did to our Lord Jesus Christ, to know how to deal with the affairs of life. May the Lord put in us the necessary enlightenment that can rule over all bodies/systems in this life. I aslo link WISDOM to Illumination, understanding to some extent knowledge, revelation (my comprehension of enlightenment)
Remember Solomon, he asked God for wisdom to govern the people under him well. But a greater than Solomon is here

I Have Restored -
Oh My Father, your love for me is everlasting. I love what John said in his first book chapter three verse one
Oh what manner of love hath the Father lavishly bestowed upon us. I know your love for me Dad is beyond this world, beyond what is visible. Thou hast loved me indeed with eternal love.
Holy Spirit thank you for insight into God's mind. fellowship with the Father is awesome when I know I have the Helper in you. The Father hath restored, Amen
Joel 2:23-29
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. (TALK ABOUT ACCELERATION AND RECOVERY). And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. (IS THIS ABUNDANCE OR NOT) And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. (RESTORATION) And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. (MY LORD THIS IS ABUNDANCE, GLADNESS AND NO REPROACH)And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. (BELONGING and NO REPROACH)
And it shall come to passs afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophecy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young man shall see visions; And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Thank you Father for we are in this state. You have caused rain to come on time and hey you have caused us to plant and harvest within a short window. How blessed we are to have received such a word, how blessed are we, to know that we are to be not ashamed NEVER. We, your sons, are for signs and wonders no wonder you have dealt wondrously with us. Blessed be your name my Father. Joel muprofita anoti madurura mweya wenyu patiri. (Joel the prophet says you have poured your spirit upon us) Prophecy is ours, it comes out of our mouth. My Lord, visions are ever before us. How beautiful it is to see your Word being fulfilled in our day and our lives. You are magnificent, wonderful and glorious

I have no doubt I have no anxiety, I have no worry. Is that what I hear yes He keeps on doing great things He keeps on doing great things
His love is eternal His grace is sufficient. I am out of words I am amazed I am in awe my Father. Father... Father... Father. Beautiful is your Name to me, grand are the works of your hands.

A New Heart also
EZEKIEL 36:26
A new heart also will i give you,and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.
Oh Father, thank you for giving me a new heart, thank you for now I have in me a tender, broken, loving, sensitive an heart of flesh. Heavenly Father, you operated me it was painful but necessary and now look what heart I have. The old is passed away; the stony, hardened, rebellious, selfish, proud, arrogant, insensitive, sin conscious and unrepentant heart. Thank you for your Spirit, He causes me to walk right in your statutes and to abide by your Word. I do not have to work to live in you and by your laws.
My Lord said in the Book of Matthew
Matthew 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I AM MEEK and LOWLY in HEART: and ye shall find rest for your souls (KJV)
...for I am gentle(meek) and humble(lowly) in heart (AMP)
I love my Lord, the same heart has He given me indeed. -
1. Psalms 34:18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit (KJV)
2. Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise (KJV)
3. Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.(KJV)
4. Isaiah 66:02 For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith the Lord; but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word (KJV)
....But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken spirit, and who trembles at MY Word and reveres My commands (AMP)
5. 1 Timothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (KJV)- Seared, Cauterized. How sad having your heart seared with a hot iron.
THE LORD OPERATED ON ME
He came to me in the morning, He removed my old heart and gave me a new heart. Though it was painful, though it was not a good experience, the result is beautiful, a new heart it is. A tender heart I have. My love surprised at the agony I am in did not know that the Lord was operating on me. I sighed, moaned and rolled but it was for my good A NEW HEART He gave me. A Heart that trembles at His Word a heart that honors God. A heart that reveres His name, a heart that loves Him and His people. I will ever say He gave me a new heart
To you alone, to you alone be the glory.
A new heart also will i give you,and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.
