Balancing Learning & Teaching: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

Balancing Learning & Teaching: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

READ | Matthew 3:1-16

There is always more for you to learn. As you grow, God places various natural and spiritual teachers in your life to share with you the things that you need to know to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Some of those teachers offer guidance about the things that are yours to do. Other teachers instruct you through their example of what not to do.

John, the Baptist, was not only Jesus’ cousin but he was also his spiritual teacher. John, the Baptist, preached about repentance and the Kingdom of God in the wilderness of Judea. Jesus continued that kingdom message by spreading it into numerous cities and villages. John, the Baptist, baptized people with water. Jesus took baptism to the next dimension when he baptized people with the Holy Spirit.

No matter how evolved you think and feel you are, you never graduate from needing a spiritual teacher in your life. Regardless of the magnitude of your gifts and talents, remain open to the advice of someone who is already doing what you desire to do. When you receive everything you can from one spiritual teacher, God sends another teacher in your life to take you to the next dimension. Following the lessons that spiritual teachers give are for your own protection, growth, and development.

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

Balancing Being & Birth: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

Balancing Being & Birth: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom R EAD | Matthew 1:16-25 Whether your parents were married, separated, or divorced, your conception was perfect for your purpose. Perhaps your parents were unmarried teenagers or adults who had not planned on having more children; your conception was still divine. Even if you were the product of rape, incest, abuse, or adultery, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order remains in effect. As challenging as it may be, this principle reminds you of the truth that everything that has happened in your life happened exactly as it was supposed to happen. Your conception is no exception. Jesus, your Wayshower, was not born under ideal circumstances. His conception was immaculate, yet very few people believed it. Many believed that Joseph and Mary did not wait until their honeymoon to consummate their marriage. Others thought that Mary was unfaithful to her fiancé, Joseph and that Jesus was the r...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
