Seed of the Day

Good morning KINGDOM perception!
Here is another seed for you all. Matthew 6: 14-15 (King James Version)


"¹⁴ For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

¹⁵ But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Forgiveness is so important for all Christians and to any person who is curious about Jesus and the Kingdom of God. For Christians, forgiveness is what allows us to enter beyond the veil and into the temple of God. It is what makes our bodies living temples for the Holy Spirit to dwell (see 1 Corinthians 6:19). Jesus dying on the cross allowed every sinner to bow at the throne of grace, God's throne, and ask for forgiveness. If we believe that Jesus is the Savior, according to Romans 6:9-10, then we will be forgiven and saved from eternal damnation in hell. Praise God!

However, often times we over look Matthew 6:14-15. In this scripture Jesus himself says that once we are forgiven of our trespasses against Him, we must also forgive others of their trespasses against us. Webster defines the word trespass as a voluntary wrongful act. We all have willingly sinned. Jesus requires that we too forgive others, or our Father in heaven will not forgive us. Whoa! This is a big deal folks. You may be asking yourself, why would God put such a high standard on forgiving others? Or, isn't it good enough for God to just forgive everybody without us having to forgive them too?

These are valid questions, but we must remember, when we receive Jesus as the messiah and our personal savior, we then become citizen of the Kingdom of God. The bible says we are joint-heirs of the kingdom with Jesus (Romans 8:17). Since we are sons of the kingdom, and no longer strangers, we are held to the same standard. Thus, deeming us suitable to forgive others just as Jesus has forgiven us. 

So go on! Forgive those that have wronged you, and do so with hast and with joy. Change your hearts! Forgive and you shall also be forgiven. Forgive not, and neither shall the Father forgive you.

This is KINGDOM perception, and a seed has been planted. 

For Your Glory - Bishop Paul Morton

Great song for all the worshipers!

Seed of the day

Good evening KINGDOM perception!Here is your seed of the day: 2 Peter 3:13-14(King James Version)

"¹³ Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

¹⁴ Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."

GET YOURSELF TOGETHER! 

Beloved brothers and sisters, we have such a great hope. We know that faithful day will come, when Jesus shall return and take those that do the will of his Father, who is in heaven. We also know that when that day comes, there will be a new earth and a new heaven (see Revelation 21:1). However, let us all not forget that there will be many that will pass on before that great day. The time to get right with God is now. Why now? well, no man know the day, nor the hour He shall return. 

2 Peter 3 is encouraging us, as believers, to stay diligent until that faithful day. That means that we all should be found by the King, working, until He returns or until death. At times, it will be easier to sin than to live righteously, but we must stay diligent/faithful. We must continue to abstain from sin because it is sin that covers the body with blemishes and spots. God is returning looking for a worker without spot, blemish or blame. 

Take a look in the mirror. Are you covered in His blood or are you covered in blemishes?

This is KINGDOM perception, and a seed has been planted. 

Seed of the day

Good morning KINGDOM perception!
Here is your seed of the day: Ephesians 4:29-32

"²⁹ Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. ³⁰ And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.³² And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

Gossip! 
It plagues churches and it binds believers, and the lost,  to a world of mischievousness and chaos. Why do I say that? Well, Ephesians 4 just told you. If your constantly spreading bad news and scandals, then your constantly around bad news. When would you have time to edify someone when your caught up in drama? The answer my friend is never. When you do such things, it grieves the Holy Spirit. Your evil talk about a person does not edify or uplift a person, it does the opposite. What Apostle Paul is reminding the Ephesian church in this scripture, is that when we talk about someone else's scandals, we must also remember the sins  we have committed less we become hypocrites. How can we talk about what someone else is doing, when we once were doing the same? In many cases, we are still doing our own wrong while talking about other people. God can forgive all sins and he is no respecter of persons. If HE cleaned your mess, HE can do the same for others. They just have to be directed towards HIM; Jesus Christ and HE will clean them up. 

Here is what you do: If you see someone acting a fool, go to them in love. Talk to them, ask them whats going on, then you can uplift and encourage them. After that person shares with you what they have been going through, don't go and share their business with your girlfriends, your boys or mama and them! That is gossip. Instead, take it in confidence/keep it to your self and pray for them. Take it to God and he will help them. If you do these things, you have now went from gossiper, to intercessor!

This is Kingdom perception, and a seed has just been planted. 

Welcome!

Welcome bloggers, to Kingdom perception, where you will be encouraged and uplifted by the word of the one, true living God; Jesus.

This is not a place for idle religious talk! The KINGDOM perception will present believers with a little "food for thought" where controversial topics, situations, and questions will be presented. Kingdom perception will attempt to offer solutions to those questions, from a Kingdom perspective of course, using the word of God. My goal for this blog is to help provide answers for believers and non-believers; answers to the topics and questions that may be a little uncomfortable to discuss at times. 

KINGDOM perception will hold open-forum discussions that will be titled "PERCEPTION update" where brothers and sisters will come together and reason with one another . In these open discussions we will deliberate controversial topics with the goal of abolishing ignorance among the body of Christ (using the Bible as our main, if not only, source). During the discussion, we will build up one another's faith and strengthen one another's understanding of the word.

This is a Christian blog spot and my goal is simply to spread the word of Christ, to encourage the citizens of the Kingdom of God, and to spread the gospel of the Kingdom. This is just an avenue to share with fellow believers and save souls.
