Testimony-
A lady in China happened to stay in the place where it is the hotspot for Covid19. Her granddaughter studying in France also happened to stay in the place where it was hotspot for Covid19.
Praise Jesus they behold Jesus and both of them are not affected by Covid19.
Her granddaughter also got a place in a university in France. She also got a job that was much more than what she had. She prospered during the times of darkness.

During the time of famine, His people prosper !
Joseph caused all Egypt to prosper during the time of famine.
Follow the wisdom of God and not the counsel of the ungodly man
God’s people time and time again went through famine and came out prosper.
Put your trust not in the flesh
In my flesh dwelled no good thing.
Romans 7:18
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
God does not look at your flesh
Your flesh is not you. God does not identity you in the flesh
Romans 8:9
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
You are to judge your behaviour by your standing. Your standing before God is your righteousness before God in Christ
God does not see the way man sees.
Man’s vision is confined by their 5 senses
God goes beyond human limitation
God sees future. God sees beyond the past.
God can see beyond His created creations
When God sees you He sees you in the spirit.
Learn to separate yourself from your sleep.
This flesh will always be there and will always remain.
You are brand new creation. God sees your spirit not your flesh.
God identify with what is born of the spirit
God’s eyes sees what is the greatest reality
Everything we can see is temporal.
God is a spirit. Your human spirit is eternal.
God sees us in the spirit.
God acknowledge only what is born of the spirit
You need to acknowledge your sin are forgiven
God talks to you as if you have not sin. He talk to you and see you as the righteousness of God in Christ
We are people whose sins are all forgiven
David is a prophet. Not just a king
David saw into the future and said how he envy us.
Romans 4:6-8
just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven,
And whose sins are covered;
Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.”
David described our blessedness
“Shall not” is a double negative
Never no way will God ever input sin to you
When you know God never impute sin to you, how wonderful it is
God does not acknowledge us in the flesh
Holiness is to think the way God think
See what God sees
Our daily lives we will find time and time again the sinful desires is brought up.
All of us share that.
Acknowledge yourself in the spirit
The one who knows he is forgiven much will ℓσνє much
2 Peter 1:5-6
Fruitful Growth in the Faith
But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
2 Peter 1:9 Young’s Literal Translation (YLT)
9 for he with whom these things are not present is blind, dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his old sins
If we are conscious our sin are forgiven us we will produce all these Godly traits
The resign of the judges. The judges ruled. It ended with blindness
The reign of kingship of Judah ended with blindness
In the book of revelation, the 7th church (the final church) ended with blindness
Dim sighted is because they have forgotten they are forgiven
Repentance unto life
What God has cleansed, don’t call unclean
Peter had a vision.
Peter followed the 3 men and it was the first time Gospel came to Gentiles
Acts 10:43-44 (ESV)
To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
The Holy Spirit Falls on the Gentiles
While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word.
Receives the forgiveness of sin through His name
Embrace them and magnify God
Simply believe and receive
Acts 11:2-5
So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party criticized him, saying, “You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them.” But Peter began and explained it to them in order: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending, being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to me.
Acts 11:15-18
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them just as on us at the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If then God gave the same gift to them as he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard these things they fell silent. And they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
To the Gentiles God has given repentance that leads to life.
Repentance means change of mind
They believed simply and God dwell with their sins after
Acts 15:7-9
And when there had been much dispute, Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Purify their hearts by faith
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God
A man’s heart is purified by faith, not by struggle
Keep your heart with all diligence
Grow in grace
Put your trust in God’s grace
It is not who you are before God.
God is the One who makes your righteous
God is the One who blesses you
when God gave the new covenant, He said I will I will
Your sins I will remember no more
In the greatest demand of life, that you need for this week, know the supply will be there to release you of all the stress
The letter kills but the Spirit gives life.
God purifies their hearts by faith
Hebrews 10:15-17
And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying,
“This is the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws on their hearts,
and write them on their minds,”
then he adds,
“I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”
All will know Me from the least to the greatest
Know the Lord from inside.
From the least to the greatest
In the new covenant God says I will not be mindful of your sins no more
I will remember your sins no more
God has not gone soft on sins
God remembers your sins and my sins and remembered on the body of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Because Jesus has finished in taking our place, God will remember our sins no more.
God designed this new covenant so that we will be recipient of this covenant
God will guide you from within
God will be your God the supernatural element and we be His people
All will know God because He remembers our sins no more!
Genesis 50:15-21
Joseph Reassures His Brothers
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
Joseph wept when they spoke to him
For the church is the rapture
For Israel is the second coming
When people are looking for jobs, you are provided for.
God will provide for you and your little ones
Psalms 103:1-3
Praise for the LORD’s Mercies
A Psalm of David.
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
If we can grief the holy spirit we can gladden the holy spirit
If we know all our sins are forgiven we will ℓσνє Him much
May that be true for you and I in the name of Jesus
