The Manifesto…..

The idea of a manifesto is not restricted to the political stage; it is familiar to have a mental suggestion of a statesperson vying for an appointment and making known the list of his plans thereafter. More like, it involves expressing a mission statement; usually a deliberate pronouncement of things to expect. Jesus Christ is not more of a human nature than He is a character of the divine. This explains that Jesus is eternal – He had existed before the foundations of the world were laid, by Him they were conceived and nothing could ever have existed without Him. He will yet exist after all has expired. Therefore, His human nature was a temporary arrangement - “The Word became a human and lived among us. We saw his glory — the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father — and he was full of grace and truth”. John 1:14 (NCV). He who is immortal became mortal; the creator took the rank of a creature and dwelt among us. There was an aim, a purpose, His manifesto; it was to reveal God among men; yet Jesus was same time absolutely God and entirely human! Grace made Jesus an extension of man, a seed planted on earth by God to demonstrate that man could escape the corruption that reigned in abundance. His Grace affords man the free gifts of God that man doesn’t deserve. By extension, man becomes a partaker of God’s divine nature – Only Grace could afford that height, it was costly! Truth defined Jesus; His works, His purpose and the qualification for setting mankind free! Man was doomed for eternal destruction, man was strained from his maker, man couldn’t relate properly, man fell from a peak and lost his stature! Every reason that brought Jesus into our world bordered on God’s Grace and Truth. His Grace to empower man to beat the flesh and its sinful desires, to help the proper manifestations of the fruits of God’s Spirit in the rebirthed soul and to be empowered to do the will of The Father at all times. Like for the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob, The Truth presents Himself to mankind as Life, the Living Water– He is the answer to every despair, any kind of thirst! Had your life been soaked in falsehood - negativity? All that is required of you is to accept the Truth about Jesus and believe in Him. There will be a transformation of your life. “Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!” 1 Peter 1:23 (THE MESSAGE). We need the healing of our minds, spirits and bodies – believe in the efficacy of God’s Word. I know that it is tough to accept the Truth when statistics of factual happenings around us is high. With poverty in our world, a lot of vices interplay as a result. It is not that there is now a justification for all the malfunctioning of our society, these situations had been predicted by Jesus. “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” John 16:33 (AMP) Beloved, it is expected of us to avail ourselves of the abundance in Christ, the Messiah. He need not have come to the world at all if His intension was merely to mark history. Allow His Grace and Truth to work through your daily living. …..“grace and truth came by Jesus Christ”. John 1:17 (KJV) “Remember what Christ taught, and let his words enrich your lives and make you wise;”... Colossians 3:16 (TLB). Lord Jesus, we receive the empowerment of your Grace in our lives, we ask that your Truth liberate us. For these you came!
