We have a new perspective.
“So then, from now on, we have a new perspective that refuses to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances… Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to himself, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:16-18 (TPT)
Yes, we have a new perspective of evaluating anyone who just stepped into the Kingdom of God.
Yes, don’t judge a new child of God by what you see immediately about their past life.
Yes, give them a break.
They have potentials in the Kingdom of God.
Furthermore, first, locate the spiritual perspective of any relationship you are in.
Initially, the Brethren ran away from the Saul of Tarsus that persecuted the church.
God Spoke to Ananias to go and lay hands on him.
“But Lord,” Ananias replied, “many have told me about his terrible persecution of those in Jerusalem who are devoted to you. In fact, the high priest has authorized him to seize and imprison all those in Damascus who call on your name.” The Lord Yahweh answered him, “Arise and go! I have chosen this man to be my special messenger….”
Act 9 :13-16 (TPT)
We are careful not to judge people by what they seem to be.
Encourage brethren to carefully treat fellows who backslide from the faith and make an effort to restore them. (2 Corinthians 2:6-8)
Don’t write anybody off.
However, locate them spiritually first.
Walk in the Spirit at all times.
That is who you are as a child of God.
Always, Always have the Spiritual perspective of any assignment God has given you.
You are seated and ruling with Christ.
Find out first what is the Kingdom’s agenda?.
Bring heaven’s wish to pass in the earthly realm.
“Manifest your kingdom realm, and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is fulfilled in heaven.” Matthew 6:10 (TPT)
Stop stressing yourself based only on facts from the earth.
Yes, let your New and Normal be Heaven’s perspective on any issue.

Arise, you sleeper! (Get Up and Pray to your God Part 2)
“You muzzle the roar of the mighty seas and the rage of mobs with their noisy riots.” Psalm 65:7 (TPT)
Is your office- ship drifting?
Colleagues at work are looking up to you for a breakthrough:
Possibly in sales, marketing, research, and development.
Do you have what it takes to rescue them?
Friends at school and other club members are desperately searching around you for a solution that works;
Can they call upon your God?
In order words, is your life a reflection of His works?
Are you also like Jonah in a state of slumber?
Unfortunately, in some churches, they listen to beautiful sermons entertaining but have no life-changing impact and therefore are in a state of slumber like Jonah.
Are you sleeping Spiritually?
“Arise, you sleeper! Rise up from the dead, and the Anointed One will shine his light into you!” Ephesians 5:14(TPT)
In this story, the challenge with Jonah is that he had God – the True God.
However, he was not in the right relationship with Him at this moment of crisis.
Today as you are reading this article:
Are you at the right place God has asked you to be?
Are you doing the right thing at the right time?
Do you have a cordial relationship with God?
Can people rely on you to hook them up with your God for solutions?
Will you have to tell them stories like Jonah had to.
Be like the Lord Jesus Christ and ask the storms to cease immediately
or like Paul in that ship, you could confidently say there will be no loss of life?
Some people have a relationship with God as they wake up and pray to God in the morning.
Surprisingly as they get into their cars, trains, and buses, they begin to take instructions from the God of the traffic, weather, and the subway system.
By the time they get to their offices, God’s identity they started the day with has faded,
They tune into the God of the office.
Their God varies with the different situations they are in for the day.
Jesus Christ said, my father and I are; one,
He could link them up with God instantly.
Same with Joseph, Daniel, Peter, and Paul-
They provided solutions to the immediate crises around them.
Can you indeed call on God?
Jesus in you can still speak to those storms to cease.
Are you still connected?
Is your God the true God?

Get up and pray to your God!
“The sailors were frightened, and they all started praying to their gods. They even threw the ship’s cargo overboard to make the ship lighter. All this time, Jonah was down below deck, sound asleep. The ship’s captain went to him and said, “How can you sleep at a time like this? Get up and pray to your God! Maybe he will have pity on us and keep us from drowning.” Jonah 1:5-6 (CEV)
Today we are in different situations that demand that we should call upon our God to help.
The Covid-19 Pandemic!
The global economic meltdown!!
America’s elections!!!
Unrests in Certain Nations!!!!
These forces situations upon us where we need to call upon God.
People don’t know which one will work.
Politicians, Lawyers, and most recently, Consitution Experts are all talking.
Financial experts are calling on psychics or spiritualists to get directions.
Experts in different fields are sometimes proffering alternative and conflicting solutions.
The church now has commercial prophets prophesying conflicting prophecies and all praying and receiving from the same God?
When they finally get to you as they got to Jonah:
Which God are you going to call upon?.
Some marriages are not working.
People are looking at which one is working.
Can your home be a model for them?
That is, can they call on your God to help them?
Do you have the Solution to these challenges?

I am not teaching something that I thought up.
“The leaders were surprised and said, “How does this man know so much? He has never been taught!” Jesus replied: I am not teaching something that I thought up. What I teach comes from the one who sent me. If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me. If I wanted to bring honor to myself, I would speak for myself. But I want to honor the one who sent me. That is why I tell the truth and not a lie.” John7: 15-18(CEV)
What are you teaching in the kingdom?
What are you sharing in His Kingdom?
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God is about Him.
The Good News centers only and only on our Lord and Savior alone.
He has shown us what we are to do.
Jesus’s Words carry authority and power because they originated from the Father.
“So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed” Acts 19:20 (NKJV)
You want the Word of God to grow and prevail?
Teach only what He has told you.
Not what you like.!
Not what is popular!!
Not what you think your audience will like!!!
Not what you have thought up.!!!!
Do you want to obey Him?
Honor the one who sent you by boldly declaring what He sent you.

Listen to God’s voice Today!
“The LORD is our God, and we are his people, the sheep he takes care of in his own pasture. Listen to God’s voice Today!” Psalm 95:7 (CEV)
You need to continually hear God’s voice daily.
The Voice of God is crucial in living a fulfilling God-Given life.
God gave each one of us the key to His daily Blessings.
“Today, I am giving you the laws and teachings of the LORD your God. Always obey them, and the LORD will make Israel the most famous and important nation on earth, and he will bless you in many ways.” Deuteronomy 28:1-2 (CEV)
To obey his daily directions, you need to know what He is saying.
You hear Him through HIS Word. (Psalm29)
“Stop!” Samuel said. “Let me tell you what the LORD told me last night.” “All right,” Saul answered.” 1Samuel15:16 (CEV)
What is God telling you to do?
“For again, the Scriptures say, If only Today you would listen to his voice.
Don’t make him angry by hardening your hearts, as you did in the wilderness rebellion.” Hebrews 3:15(TPT)
Actively run away from every form of Sin so you can have your prayers answered.
“Yet if I had closed my eyes to my sin, the Lord God would have closed his ears to my prayer.” Psalm 66:18 (TPT)
God is nearer to you than you can ever think or imagine.
His Holy Spirit is inside you.
Daily learn more about God.
“Let’s learn about the LORD.
Let’s get to know the LORD.
He will come to us as sure as the morning comes.
He will come to us like the autumn rains and the spring rains that water the ground.” Hosea 6:3 (GW)
Feed your spirit man with the Word of God.
Always live in an attitude of Praise
As you hear Him, obey Him.
