23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
The pattern son the one that God as accepted . who God is totally statisfied with .
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
God is asking all those who must serve him , or do anything for him must follow after his footstep. For anything to be acceptable with God , to win God’s Approval , their are no two pattern , God is not following two or three pattern. He has Just one .. No more argument on what is it that God want , no more pattern acceptable standard has been located in one man : JESUS. so the focus of a believer , should be only to be like Jesus , conforming to his standard ,
2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
Why should i focus only on Jesus .. If i have any thing to do for God , your standard and pattern has to after Jesus .
The reality of what God want to see in our life is Jesus . so let us go back to the bible
The
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
We are not saying God has spoken by the prophet he did, but all of them where only pointing at the MAN JESUS .
2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
Jesus is the
3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
The Suprimacy of Jesus over all .
heb 1:
4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”? 6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship Him.” 7 And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.”
Heb 1:4-
Heb 1:8-
8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
God address Jesus .. YOUR THRONE O GOD ...
When we study Jesus and focus on him , if your life and service will be acceptable it must be in the pattern of the one that God has said this one I am well please .
Following Jesus is not an ideal or phylosopy, is not just an ideaology . to become what God want you to be and fulfilling destiny you must understand God has a blue print in Jesus .
To be plan and simple .. Live , work and follow the pattern of christ .
Nothing will attrack God to if you don’t have Jesus.
Jesus is God message for our generation.
Col
26 This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it’s out in the open. 27 God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. That is the substance of our Message. 28 We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. 29 That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.
So Paul say the only thing am spending man energy on it to Teach you Jesus . Bring men to maturity in Christ and to be mature is to be BASIC . Jesus no more no less.
So let us look deeper at Jesus God pattern for effective life.
The Personality of Jesus and The ministry of Jesus . he combine it , in a correct balance . His Life and Ministry where acceptable to God . anything out christ is correct , package it , brand it , it is not acceptable to God and it will not pass the Test of eternity .
When Jesus said I AM the WAY
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Very Profound word .. I AM THE WAY .. to please God , serve God , Fulfilled my destiny in God .. The only way os JESUS .
not I am A way , it might be their are many ways . but he said I am The WAY . I have THE WAY . so i have come to a conclusion in my work with God , I have no two text book to follow , but JESUS. God has make it plane and simple .
THE truth .. the truth , the reality , untentic , WHO is the truth Jesus. Nothing that is contrary to Jesus can be the truth. I pray that the church have understanding so you are wasting you life running about .One One Issue .. JESUS . I plan to pattern my life , family , Children , fianace to JESUS .
THE Life .. no Jesus no life .
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
The Personality of Jesus : Who is Jesus , and what is it that he did , that make God to put a signature of acceptance on Him.
God was not abitraty even with Jesus , He total Please God , in not favouritism . what God was looking for that make him happy he found it in HIM.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
: 8-
What is the meaning of Therefore , bec of these . God did not just anoint Jesus abritarty , their was a reason. Not bec he was Jesus . Bec He love righteousness and hate iniquity . God was looking for some thing .
He love Righteousness and
If God is able to see a little of what he saw in Jesus You , God will do to you what he did to Jesus .
Do you Love righteousness . Do you hate Iniquity . The reason why man run away from iniquity is bec. if people should see me my Reputation will be damaged. not fight with their wife in the public .., REPUTATION.
Even the crowd is not around ..But GOD is .. Oppurtunity , Enviroment . when u are alone ..Do you LOVE Righteousness.
Hated Iniquity .. prefer to die than to SIN.. JESUS . not in comparism with People , this is a personal work . The Fear of excommunication from church , (Old Fear) is not that you fear God . Fear Punishement not God .
He Love to have a right standing with God .. Righteousness.. Therefore GOD .. Enjoy it , the only thing that matters to him is if am in right standing with him, He value relationship with God . Therefore God anointed him.. There is a reason why GOD anointed HIM. The Generation that seek anointing and power .. Are you serving God bec of the blessing you want from him/ Reconigtion ./Position /Success .. Do you Love HIM.
many people fight for the pulpit , position , pastor hating each other … ARE YOU DOING IT FOR LOVE.
He said to peter LOVETH me more than this ..
If God can find a quantity in you , LOVE . not been perfect but a desire for him , for love , Nothing will stop God for release HIs anointing on you.
2. We are just study Jesus . Jesus Prayer was not automatic . Read it from other version . Good News, Amplified , Living Bible ...
4 And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. 5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; 6 as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” 7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

1. Christ did not elect himself .. You are the one who make yourself the apostle .. lol. Allocated to your self a title . You called your self apostle , prophet ..
Living bible ./ ESV / Good new .
Good new
DID God answer his prayer because he was JESUS , no because of his Strong desire to obey GOD. Jesus will alwy says i know you hear me alwys . bec of his strong desire to obey . Can u imagine Jesus actually cry , and pray to GOD .
Jesus knew if God does not help him , He can die without fufilling his ministry and Purpose. Do you have a strong desire to obey God at all time and at all cost .
Do you have a strong desire to obey God at all time and at all cost .
Living Bible
4 Another thing to remember is that no one can be a high priest just because he wants to be. He has to be called by God for this work in the same way God chose Aaron.
5 That is why Christ did not elect himself to the honor of being High Priest; no, he was chosen by God. God said to him, “My Son, today I have honored you.”[a] 6 And another time God said to him, “You have been chosen to be a priest forever, with the same rank as Melchizedek.”
7 Yet while Christ was here on earth he pleaded with God, praying with tears and agony of soul to the only one who would save him from premature[b] death. And God heard his prayers because of his strong desire to obey God at all times.
8 And even though Jesus was God’s Son, he had to learn from experience what it was like to obey when obeying meant suffering. 9 It was after he had proved himself perfect in this experience that Jesus became the Giver of eternal salvation to all those who obey him. 10 For remember that God has chosen him to be a High Priest with the same rank as Melchizedek.
Jesus Understand Obeident ..
John 14
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
God Prophetic word does not come to pass automatically .
3. A focus and contuniois study of the man JESUS .. Those because , therefore , those quality found in Jesus .
Focus on the verse of the bible ..
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
:
Why did God exalted him ? .. He humbled Himself and became Obedient Unto .
He has done his own , God must also do his own. God did not lift Jesus up abritarily .
Can we purse christ like , christ life , Learn from him so we can get christ result .?
4. Another study .. This is not about church , denomination , any new movement , is about knowing your identity in christ . make up your mind to study and pattern your christian work and experience with Jesus.
LEARNing diligent to be christ to you can fulfilled purpose .
35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.
John 3:
Why did the father LOVE the son ?
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
John 10
The Father love me , Bec i lay down my life
17 And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS
17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.” 19 Therefore there was a division again among the Jews because of these sayings.
He live a sacrificial life . nothing matter to him . He gave all for the FATHER . He laid down his ALL for the sheep . If i see that kind of passion in you and desire , I will give all to you.
LAID IT ALL DOWN ..
Jesus
If only is life will become my life , is work become my work, …Desire
The Principle is christ , if christ will be found in me .
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
How can this Christ be formed in ME .
Song : … Oh to be like JESUS ..
