Publisher’s Letter pair of lenses is specifically designed to see our true destiny. Adifferent It is what we call the lens of faith in God. Our destiny transforms
us into the fullness of Christ’s nature which is seen in increased measure as we mature in Him. The true message of the Kingdom of God is powerfully displayed as a witness in earth like it is in heaven. The presence of heaven on earth is demonstrated when the works of the enemy is destroyed by the sons of God.We can gauge the influence of the amount of people who are sick, demon possessed, afflicted, tormented and suffering with how many Jesus’s are walking on earth. We know that the earth is no longer void, but filled with light and purpose when Jesus fulfills His mission. God’s will is for earth to be free of selfishness, divisions, wars and hate among one another. We as sons are to tend to this earth to make it like heaven. We are to uproot the weeds of the devil and darkness and sow new seeds of Life. We must work together towards this mandate that His will be done in earth through us as it is in Heaven.
Let’s continue to walk in Him together as we implement our authority in Christ that was been given to us to restore our world to conform with heaven. Blessings to all Nations

The Message
Spiritual Fathers. Not Dependency, but Discovery
For some time now I have recognized that I am in another
season of life. At some point I became an Elder. Not old, but considered seasoned. This Elder stage is not something I looked for and just about the time I became fairly skillful at being a “son”, God moves me into another season. Some may call it mentoring or being a spiritual father. It is not an office or a positional status, but it is a unique relationship birthed by God to reveal identity, purpose and discovery in an upcoming saint. There are basically four distinct seasons of life. We begin as sheep (babies) who need constant attention, care and have complete dependence on spiritual parents for security and credibility. We move into becoming servants as disciples following the example and serving another’s vision. Then we are heirs as sons (and daughters) of God, protégés in process through training. At some point we graduate to becoming saints or literally, maturing visionary leaders. One level does not replace another level, but each stage builds on the preceding. Although we will always be the sheep of God’s pasture, we must realize we cannot walk like babies forever. We can no longer be codependent on those who cultivated principles into our lives, but now we transition into depending on God. Training time has to transition into guidance and guidance into leadership. God organically brings spiritual fathers into each stage of growth, not for dependency, but for discovery. In Matthew 23:9 Jesus said to call no man father upon the earth: for

one is our Father, which is in heaven, but we have to understand the context of that statement because He also spoke about fathers giving good gifts to their sons in (Luke 11:11-13) revealing no difficulty in calling men fathers on particular levels. The Hebrew word for father is “ab” or (Gr.) “abba” meaning principal, founder, or beginning and the Greek word; “pater” or “patriarches” means progenitor of a nation, race, and tribe (lineage). Obviously there are biological fathers who carry physical seed and pro-generate a lineage, but when Jesus said not to call anyone “father” on earth He was addressing an issue with the scribes and Pharisees. They were dominating people and forcing complete dependency and submission to them as though they were God. People could not eat, buy, sell or move without the permission of these tyrants. The Pharisees demanded adoration, servitude, as they nourished themselves on followers. Jesus said not to call anyone on earth your father (on the level of God) because ONE is your Father, the SOURCE of everything, but those who birth and cultivate the heart of God the father in His sons as spiritual fathers are RESOURCES. Even today in some places there are Pharisees masquerading as Elders in the Body of Christ who demand followers to check with them before they make decisions and they dominate people. True mentors don’t tell people what to think, but they ignite the thinking process in people so they become innovators. It’s healthy for protégés to copy their mentors in the process of their own discovery but the goal is to cultivate God’s
image and His DNA in them to be originals. A denomination, fellowship, business and even a church cannot be a “spiritual father” because they are entities representing offices of accountability, covering and authority. It should also be noted that submitting under the authority of a pastor, bishop, or apostle does not automatically make them a “spiritual father”. A pastor, bishop or apostle can become a mentoring “father” to you but it is a relational dynamic not a positional one. Offices are functioning authorities that represent leadership but it is distinct from mentorship. A pastor may be referred to as the “spiritual father” of that particular “house” (church) because he/ she founded the church or ignited God’s purpose corporately, and you summit to the authority of leadership in the Lord, but it does not mean they have instantly become your “spiritual father”. George Washington is called the father of America, (as a founder of principles in a nation) but he did not father or know everyone personally. So what is a healthy description of a “spiritual father”? 1Corinthians 4:15 says; “For though you might have ten thousand instructors (teachers, instructors, leaders) in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ I have begotten (or birthed) you through the gospel”. Paul does not say every person gets only one “spiritual father” in their walk through life, but he says there’s not “many”. The qualification of a spiritual father and son (daughter) relationship is the BIRTHING of God’s purpose to be processed. This is a journey of discovery, training and releasing. It is a relationship forged by God himself. A mentor’s goal is to become invisible as they are not walls blocking God the Father, but windows opening and pointing to God. The goal of a mentor is to become unnecessary in the training process, and rejoicing when a spiritual son or daughter excels them. Spiritual fathers are never about dependency, but all about the mentee’s discovery. A mentoring “father” knows when training time is done and release of that student has come. This does not mean the relationship ends, but it’s a new level from training to guidance when needed. In Galatians 4:19 Paul says; “My little children, whom I labor in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” Note, the goal was not to form Paul’s DNA or dependency on him, but to cultivate the DNA of God the Father in them. In this article we cannot get into the aspect of mantles and succession of leadership, but we are defining the specifics in regards to mentors and spiritual fathering. In my life God has sent six men who have been surrogate fathers into my life so far. At times two or maybe three of these men were active as mentors at the same time because they were developing something unique in my walk but each one always emphasized that it was God who was shaping me and they gave Him all the glory. There are times one mentor must be primary in your development to effectively focus on a major aspect of your life. While I know there will be more as I journey in this ever developing learning process, I find I am in a season where some are reaching out to me to be a representative of the Father’s heart for them, and this is the most rewarding time I have ever had, because it is no longer just about my visions and dreams but I have the honor of investing into the birthing process of upcoming champions who will excel anything I have ever done. All those who recognize their position as mentors must identify their place, as it is only to the degree a spiritual son or daughter excels us that our legacy will be defined.. ✽

Kingdom Evangelism
His Kingdom Now The first part of the Gospel of the Kingdom is Kingdom Evangelism because our King Jesus, the Prophets, Apostles and Disciples proclaimed Repentance and Believed the Gospel of the Kingdom for Salvation not only spirit, soul, body; but also material, financial and every aspect of your being because you give your life to our King Jesus and His Kingdom. The chief sinner said, Christ the King - Jesus came to the world to SAVE sinners (1 Tim.1:15). For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10). Our King Lord Jesus gave His life on the cross; He suffered and died for our salvation and to restore us to original purpose in our life, that is our Relationship with our King in heaven and to give us authority to dominate the creation. Mankind must be saved first from satan and also the sin of rebellion. Our King, Jesus, by His death, resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit destroyed the kingdom of satan and restored the Kingdom of God in the heart of man. This produces a new and transformed life by submission to our King Jesus! After Salvation in the Kingdom of God, the process of restoration must continue in discipleship in the Kingdom until we will learn to operate as the Kings God intended from the beginning in Gen 1:26. We are in the image and likeness of God, this allows us through Jesus to be victorious against satan, sin, sickness, poverty, death, the grave, hell and all the forces of the enemy! This is the good news of the Kingdom that has been preached and is demonstrated by our King Jesus, apostles, prophets and the early church. The Kingdom church in this end time is fulfillment of the prophecy of our King Jesus in Matt.24:14! ✽

Give me the Real! 1PET. 2:2 AS NEWBORN BABES, DESIRE THE SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD, THAT YE MAY GROW THEREBY: When babies are born they have a natural, instinctual hunger for milk which is scripted into their DNA and their mother’s milk contains the nutrients necessary for proper growth and development. The baby’s health, growth and development are greatly dependent on the health and diet of the one feeding the baby. So the mother (the one feeding) cannot ingest certain things, because whatever is in her system can affect the baby. For instance, if she drinks alcohol while feeding, the alcohol can impact the baby; same is true for medicines and drugs. If she is malnourished, the baby is in danger of being malnourished as well. Let me clarify some more. As spiritual newborn babes, we are naturally, instinctively scripted to hunger for the Word of God which is scripted into our spiritual DNA. We are designed to desire the milk of God’s word. The Word of God contains the spiritual nutrients necessary for our spiritual growth and development according to the DNA of the spiritual leader who feeds us. So the health, development and spiritual growth of the newborn babe in Christ is greatly dependent on the spiritual health and diet of their spiritual leader.
❝ ...We are designed to desire the milk of
God’s word. The Word of God contains the spiritual nutrients necessary for our spiritual growth and development according to the DNA of the spiritual leader who feeds us. ❞
the Gospel, the Milk or the Word of God. Spiritual leaders and teachers of the Gospel at times have twisted and blended the Word of God with the traditions of men and worldly philosophy. These contaminants have been fed to newborn believers as the truth of the Word and have slowed the spiritual growth of many believers. In our opening text, it says that newborn babes crave the sincere milk of the word. The word sincere in this text means, unadulterated, not mixed or diluted with any different or extra elements; complete and absolute.
MARK 7:7-9 HOWBEIT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. FOR LAYING ASIDE THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, YE HOLD THE TRADITION OF MEN, AS THE WASHING OF POTS AND CUPS: AND MANY OTHER SUCH LIKE THINGS YE DO. AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, FULL WELL YE REJECT THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD, THAT YE MAY KEEP YOUR OWN TRADITION. We are not to feed the Newborn believers in Christ with the philosophies and traditions of men, but with the pure and unadulterated Word of God. We are told the Word of God became flesh in the form of Jesus; when I think about the Great Commission; it tells us to teach men all things Jesus taught the disciples. When we carefully examine the teachings of Jesus the Christ, we quickly realize that Jesus (the Word that because flesh) taught The Gospel of the Kingdom of God/Heaven. This is the sincere milk of the Word; and as you grow and mature in God, it becomes meat, bread and water; everything you need for life and godliness. ✽

Kingdom Mandate Today churches are preaching and talking about salvation for all people and that we must search for salvation each and every day, so that when Jesus returns we will be going to the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, I ask what is the Kingdom mandate that the Lord Jesus told us? If we go to the book of Mark, chapter 16, verse 15, it says, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Our mission on earth is to preach the gospel to all creatures, nations and implement the Kingdom of God in this time. We need to implement the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus revealed; which awaits us and for which Jesus is King. In the New Testament Jesus announced a Kingdom that many did not understand, it is a place filled with His righteousness, full of joy, happiness and eternal life. When the righteousness of the Lord is placed on earth, we will see the Holy Spirit transforming nations, peoples, cities, countries, because we are implementing His Kingdom and righteousness through the sharing of the Gospel. The Kingdom mandate is not to show that people are wrong or that the nations are wrong, but to reveal what Jesus preached and talked of the Kingdom of heaven. There is nothing else needed to have the blessings from the Lord in our lives. We need to hear and believe in the power of the gospel of Christ, that we may be healed of disease, saved from

Every time we hear the gospel of the Kingdom we are hearing the good news of God. The Bible shows us that the gospel of Christ, the good news of the Kingdom is what God wants all men to hear, for it is God’s own power for salvation and not only from hell, but also of diseases, losses, financial shortages and all areas of our life that needs to be saved and restored. When you hear the gospel of Christ you can not just understand it in your mind. You must know and believe the good news in your heart and then you will see that it is the power of God for your salvation. The Apostle Paul visited to the city of Ephesus to speak the kingdom mandate. The people of Ephesus were very committed to another god; however Paul had with him the Holy Spirit and anointing to share the kingdom of heaven and God’s love for His sons and daughters. Paul did not say the Ephesians were corrupted or full of sin and that they didn’t know the Kingdom of God; he brought a message so that the Kingdom would be implemented in the city.
lives, or families, but also the nations of the world. When the Kingdom is planted in a city, it is like a seed, that will start to grow and the process of transformation will begin in the lives all of men, women and children to begin living the new life Jesus intended. As ambassadors of the Lord Jesus, we responsible for the Kingdom mandate on earth. We were chosen to live the gospel of the kingdom and continue what Jesus taught and demonstrated to His apostles and that is for us to spread the gospel to all creatures and all the nations so that Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior can to transform lives, countries, cities and all living things on earth. I pray that with this message we can be an inspiration by the Holy Spirit in such a way that we will never stop carrying the message of the Kingdom and restoring the original presence of God written in the book of Genesis, chapter 1:26 which says, “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” ✽

Created and Destined for Influence The late Dr. Myles Munroe in his book, “The Purpose and Power of Authority,” defines authority as “delegated influence and the right to be all we were created to be.” Every single individual, therefore, has been given the right to be all he or she was created and destined to be. The Creator has uniquely wired everyone with gifts, talents, and passion for influencing and impacting humans through their calling and purpose.
“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live],” (Ephesians 2:10, emphasis mine).
The Journey to Significance We are all on a journey to significance and one very important ingredient for attaining your true authority is “personal development.” The world has become a global village with amazing opportunities for growth and personal development for people to be all they were created to be and destined to do. Search engines such as Google has made the world wide web an indispensable library for personal development. YouTube is also another resource that has changed the concept of learning with information available at your fingertips. How are you taking advantage of the resources available to you to be on the cutting edge in your sphere of influence?
Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
Discover Your Passion Every individual was created with something he or she can be passionate about. Your passion is what breaks your heart; what you cry over and want to see changes so that value is added to lives. For example, when you get frustrated over the injustice done to a person, or angry over mismanagement of public funds, become upset because of an untidy environment, desire to see better governance, find your heart racing when people are empowered with life skills, then that might be an indication of your passion. Merriam Webster dictionary defines “Passion,” as an object of desire or deep interest. Why is the discovery of your passion so important?
“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB).
“Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank” (Proverbs 22:29, NIV). A man’s gift, the things he is passionate about and his competence open doors of opportunity to people in positions of influence. Les Brown, a man who discovered his true authority and is using it to influence people writes, “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”
Make an Impact through Your Passion Do not be like the people Les Brown referred to. Discover your passion and deploy it in making this world a better place. Do not allow dream killers hinder you from fulfilling your destiny. Some of the most successful global trendsetters failed several times before they succeeded in the pursuit of their passions. To be a trendsetter in your sphere of influence, you will need vision, a plan, networking mentality, be hardworking and obtain favor from God and man.You will have to be a man or a woman who cares about the things that touch the heart of God and move Him to act. An important attribute that sets global trendsetters apart is to carry the God-kind of heart that seeks out the best for the people. The truth is, you are created and destined for influence. People are waiting for you to add value to their lives because you care and are walking in your God-given authority. The sky is your limit and the world’s waiting for you to add color to it because you were born for such a time as this! ✽

Testimony I choose to live by the Spirit of God continually, just as it says in Romans 8:14, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”
At first, I thought, “how am I going to start writing my article about my walk with God, talking about my calling and my purpose? What can I share with people?” I suffered pain in my inner being stemming being abandoned by my father at the age of four and the death of my mother between the ages of six and seven. On the inside I developed self-pity, fear, loneliness, anger, insecurity, rejection, shame and more. I felt something that shut me off from the world in which I lived. John 10:10 says, “Thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it all to the full.” Growing up, I became overprotective of myself; trust was a big thing to me. I did not want to listen to anyone; I just wanted to do things on my own, ignore instruction, and live without a sense of direction and learning. Life was tough and an overall mess as I grew up, however, one day I had an encounter with God. I had a male playmate who as a favor I asked him to pitch water for me from the well to take a bath. Growing up in the Philippines getting water is either from the well or a water pump, but mostly from the well which was far from my place. The boy agreed. When he was on the second trip and poured the water into a big pail, I noticed dirt and leaves floating in the water, so I threw the water out and told him to go back again and get some clean water. As soon as I threw the water, I saw a huge head in the ceiling and I heard in my spirit, “Your Father is watching you!” I ignored it and that’s about it, but I couldn’t get it out of my mind and wondered what it meant. I know now that God was
❝ Life was tough and an overall mess
as I grew up, however, one day I had an encounter with God ❞ watching me all along. Wow! What an awesome God we have. How I managed to live without parents was purely by His Grace.
I did not know during that time about the things God wanted me to do, but God is watching and His will and His purposes must be fulfilled through my walk with Him. He wants His people to be set free and walking in freedom and liberty; I needed that! In Psalms 147: 3, it says, “He heals the broken hearted and builds up their wounds” also in Exodus 15: 26 it says, “…for I am the Lord who heals you.” Coming to Canada as a landed immigrant, I experienced trials and tribulations. Within a month of living in Canada my husband left me and my two sons for a girlfriend. He totally abandoned his children; I saw the pattern of generational curses of abandonment which needed to be cut off. I realized inner HEALING was needed and important for me to move towards His calling and will and for me to live freely and to walk upright before God. In 2015 God led me to Eagle Worldwide Ministries and there I received HEALING and DELIVERANCE. I went to Bible School by faith, while working 12 hour night shifts. Every course I took, God gave me a dream. One day I was renting one of the cottages in Capetown where the Summer Camp meeting was being held. At that time I had to study for a test and I needed rest, but God gave me a dream around 5:00 am. In my dream, “I was sharing about Jesus, it looked like I was in an office because I saw cubicles and people are walking and a man said to me, I am a teacher, but I will not teach that! In my dream I said God please help me with what to say to him, he has to believe and learn about you.” Suddenly on my right arm, I saw a written word, “MAOZ” which faded after another word that I didn’t recognize and the 3rd word was written. Finally I said, I have to see the word God! And it was written again, the word DELIVERANCE written by the BLOOD and my dream ended. I woke up shaking, almost complaining because I did not have enough rest and needed to study for the exams at 9:00 am. I had to google the word MAOZ, I knew it was God and the dream was powerful, but the Holy Spirit was not done. He wanted me to worship outside the cottage, so I walked up to the gate and plead the Blood everywhere. I was resisting, but did it anyway, I was by myself and I thought to myself, “what if someone sees me? I look like I am crazy.” However, my body obeyed and God showed me in my dream the importance of Jesus’ Blood that was shed on the cross. He equipped me and revealed the important part of how to perform my assignment and walk through my destiny with a clear conscience and purity of heart...✽

Sonship The first question we should ask ourselves is are we Sons of God and
if we are, how did we become Sons of God? The answer is, yes we are Sons of God by adoption, and we were adopted into the family of God through Christ Jesus - God’s Son. We are not in His family by works or deeds, but because Jesus paid the price. Christ was born into the family, died for us, was resurrected and paid the ultimate price for us to regain what was lost in the Garden of Eden. We lost a relationship with God and now through Christ Jesus, we are heirs and have the right to the things of God. We have the right to confidently declare our identity of being a Son of God. We don’t doubt that our parents will neglect their responsibilities towards us; as a matter of fact they shouldn’t; in the same way, we ought not to doubt God about our needs. We trust what our parents say above everyone else; in the same way we should trust what the word of God says above everything else. God will not say things to harm us; we are made in his image and likeness, and He is spirit, infinite, eternal, unchanging, holy, good and full of truth. As Son’s of God we are constitutionally bound to live by the word of God. When we gave our lives to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit indwells us and we become joint heirs with Christ. The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. We take on the mind of Christ and everything we do reflects who He is. We are entitled to what God has, which means that whatever belongs to Christ Jesus, belongs to us. As Sons of God, we walk circumspectly for we are the righteous of God in Christ Jesus. We live a life that is pleasing to God which is why we bring our bodies under subjection, so that we walk by faith, in the spirit
❝ As sons of God we are free to win the battle of the enemy.❞
and not by sight and do not fulfil the lusts of the flesh. As sons of God we are free to win the battle of the enemy. We may not always experience victory, there may be times we feel as though we are in a dry place, but like David, we ought not to remain there. We cannot be Sons of God and yet caught up in the world, for the world does not approve of the things of God. It is God who designs our past and defines our purpose and it is our duty to live it out God’s way and not the way of the world. As Sons of God, we must demonstrate love in its truest form. A perfect example of sonship is found in John 1; here we have Jesus, the Son conversing with God, the Father. This is clarity of sonship in its truest form. If you want to know God and peace with him today; if you want to experience the benefits of God, you must come through Jesus Christ. Ask God to show you what to do and he will help you to fix those things which are wrong and take you to the next dimension. To be a Son of God, we must trust in God and not in ourselves. ✽

Kingdom Diligence Each and every authentic child of God
is a vital part of the Kingdom of God. We must find out how to function in God’s government, which will supply everything needed in life to carry out our God-given calling; everything from wisdom and understanding to peace, joy, health, abundant provision and much more. Christ’s primary intention is to set up His “spiritual” reign through the ministry of His chosen people. Furthermore, the unbeliever who has received Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord has submitted to the rule of God’s Kingdom. These penitent people have sorrow for the past offences; repentance means “growing wise again.” It denotes a change of mind, a restoration of Life’s conduct. On the other hand, so many people lag-behind in pursuing the Kingdom of God for it has mysteries that are wrapped up in dark sayings and metaphorical expressions. Mystery is a hidden or secret thing not obvious to the understanding of a wicked men but plain to the godly. Only a few, reasonably speaking, embraced the good news of the Kingdom, but for their sake it was worthwhile making it known. Why Parable? To divide those who were genuinely fascinated from those who were merely curious and came only to entertain themselves how Jesus looks like and to be amused by the miracles He performs. (Matt.13: 1-3; Mark 4:1-2). Several people hear the messages but do not understand because they are not interested. While other show early interest, but soon give up since they have no deep spiritual concerns. Others are too worried about the affairs of everyday life.
“THIS IS WHY I SPEAK IN PARABLES, BECAUSE SEEING THEY DO NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY DO NOT HEAR; NOR DO THEY UNDERSTAND.” (MT.13:13 RSV) In the farming principle, few quality seeds are of worth to produce great harvests, only a few respond to the message of the Kingdom in faith, but when they do, their lives are changed and a spiritual harvest results. By principle, the good seed will always produce healthy plants and good fruits if given the opportunity. Likewise, the ambassadors of the good news of the Kingdom must have patient faith in God as the message does it work in people’s hearts. Christ tells the mystery of the Kingdom of God to the disciples but spoke in parables to those outside their circles in hopes that they would grasp sufficient instruction to repent and receive pardon.
“GO AND TELL THIS PEOPLE; ‘BE EVER SEEING, BUT NEVER PERCEIVING. MAKE THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE CALLOUSED; MAKE THEIR EARS DULL AND CLOSE THEIR EYES. OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND TURN AND BE HEALED.” (IS.6:9-10)

The word “parable” in Hebrew and Aramaic means “riddle”. Although the teaching of parables may cause the absent-mindedly curious to lose interest in Jesus, the basic purpose of a parable is to enlighten, and not to darken. Parable is like a lamp to give light, the more people give thought to the Great Master Teacher’s doctrines they will obtain spiritual insights and blessings in return. However, if they are too lazy to pay attention to the teaching, it diminished their capacity to understand spiritual truth until in the long run it is completely gone. God wants people to reflect, think and repent in order for Him to reveal the secrets of His Kingdom and uncover the truths of His Words.
DESIRING GOD’S KINGDOM LIKE A HIDDEN TREASURE “The Kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD. When a man FOUND it, he HID it again, and then in his JOY went and SOLD all he had and BOUGHT that field” (Mt.13:44). The Rich Young Ruler best illustrates the picture of desire. He asked Jesus the most sincere question “HOW-TO” gain Eternal Life in the Kingdom of God. The Lord Jesus Christ pointed to him the real issue of his desires to GET RID of the CHECKLIST that he has done in order to buy his way to “heaven”. Our Master pointed to him DIRECTLY the most important ISSUES to this successful young ruler, “MAMMON” or in layman’s term (financial security); he CAN’T SEE Christ’s ruler ship because His LUST & CRAVINGS to possession BLINDED him. The Lord said in Luke 18:22b, “...sell all that thou hast, and distribute
unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”
So many people of today’s generation pants for money, sex, prestige and possession and these “evil” desires are not changing up to these days. But like the Rich Young Ruler, PEOPLE nowadays wanted to know “how” to get entrance of God’s Kingdom and “acquire” the assurance of eternal salvation. Likewise, we are now in the age of checklists; which means DOING THINGS for the sake of “religion” as what this rich young ruler did to show off “THEY” are “Christians” or to prove that they are “saved”. However, Jesus pointed to “US” primarily the significance of “COME & FOLLOW ME.” Our life changes NOT by our “TO DO LISTS” of “HOW-TO” that we formulated for our spirituality, but by reclaiming & embracing the timeless principles of the kingdom of god written in the scriptures. Living out the kingdom lifestyle, is being led by the Holy Spirit into the place of good and godly desire where our reason and faith meets the biblical standards creating a picture of a powerful testimonies about how we dealt our greatest fears that opens god’s unlimited possibilities of blessings and rewards.
EVALUATION QUESTIONS
1) WHAT DO YOU DESIRE MOSTLY? CAREER, FRIENDSHIPS, PRESTIGE, BEAUTY OR SUCCESS? 2) WHAT DO YOU REALLY DESIRE? SECURITY? 3) WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT? Take some time and ponder on these questions and ask ourselves as to “WHY I AM NOT ATTRACTED or WHY I DON’T DESIRE JESUS CHRIST AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD” like this man on this parable. Jesus Christ, Our Lord, and DEFINES CLEARLY what He truly desires. In His joy He left all that
He had in the glories of Heaven and bought a field out of His OWN PRECIOUS BLOOD so he could POSSESS the HIDDEN TREASURE buried within it. The TREASURE in that field is YOU! YOU are what He DESIRE! Is Jesus Christ, our Lord, what you DESIRED too? So what do you think of selling everything means for you? Are you afraid of losing something to gain the treasure (the Kingdom of God)? Are you joyful to give up everything in order to gain Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God? If not, what makes you think lacking in your faith to trust this invisible YET undefeatable kingdom? What are you missing that the man in the parable saw? Many of us are motivated by our desires towards something that promises enjoyment or satisfaction, but it only happens when we desire to seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness that all these things shall be added unto us! The Kingdom of God can only be found by the earnest searcher whose desires and efforts are right and is seeking Christ the King, with full determination like a treasure seeker. We are to distinguish the essential from the accidental. This spiritual treasure makes all searcher of truth very wealthy so that earthly people envied them, since their joy and happiness is forever. The Kingdom of Heaven is soul satisfying treasure which is durable and everlasting. ✽

What do you do when your Assignment gets you into prison? It was on the 8th of April 2018 PNGCF Kingdom Embassy for
Global Evangelism was packed to capacity as people from different walks of life pressed in to hear the message of the kingdom on that Sunday morning. I was excited to deliver the message of the kingdom to the nation titled; ‘INFLUENCING PNG THROUGH KINGDOM CULTURE’ which was a series of teachings I was conducting to educate Papua New Guineans about the only message that Jesus preached and how they can influence their domain. I had prophesized about two Sundays prior by the Holy Spirit to strengthen the people that I would be imprisoned for the sake of the vision. That particular Sunday as I was delivering the message of the Kingdom, a heavy anointing came upon me to teach on how to take the worlds for the Kingdom of God. Suddenly I saw through the church window, law enforcing agencies from the Papua New Guinea Royal Constabulary, or better known as police officers from the Fraud Squad Department arrive on the church’s ground. Their plan was to come into the church building to make an arrest, but the Holy Spirit wouldn’t allow them. Using their words, they said, “his words are so powerful let’s not take the risk to get into the embassy let’s wait for him to finish his message.” So they were sitting outside the embassy listening baffled at every word I ministered; some even commented (as we were told later by some of our friends) saying we shouldn’t have come to this place as they could not stand the power of the message. I knew it was time, so I asked the Holy Spirit to fill the hearts of every people with Kingdom Culture of peace and patience. We drew the service to a proper close and walked out of the embassy to ask the officers what would warrant their presence at such a time and place. One of them reluctantly said, “we were sent by the Minister for Lands and Physical Planning to Arrest Pastor Michael Jack for forging and uttering the Ministers signature to produce a Land title which was awarded to the church by the Lands Department; something, I did not do. Well the media took the story, published it and the whole nation knew about it which provoked the people as they knew the whole story was fabricated to destroy and tarnish my name. The church in PNG rose up in moral support, defending the situation also in the place of prayer to quench the fiery dart of hell. Well to cut the story short, I was arrested without a formal interview and questioned. I was released on bail, went to court and the matter was thrown out at the first hearing as the presiding magistrate said the information presented by the police was defective. I was rearrested a second time without a formal process, interviewed and released on bail. The matter is in court now, and will hopefully be dismissed like the first time. I would love to give the full story on our next
issue as this testimony will encourage you to move forward with your God given Vision. It has now gone back to normal, as people in the government hierarchy found out that the whole story was fabricated to tarnish and destroy our work here in the South Pacific. As I put down my pen to write in this issue, I am waiting for my case to be legally cleared by the courts of justice so that we can resume our ministerial duties on a full scale again. So what do you do when you are maliciously persecuted, your name tarnished and reputation squashed? My answer is, you must remain calm and steadfast in the midst of hostility and tribulation. God prepares his true Ambassadors of His Kingdom in the fiery furnace of affliction so that our character syncs with our Purpose.
IS. 48:10
BEHOLD, I HAVE REFINED THEE, BUT NOT WITH SILVER; I HAVE CHOSEN THEE IN THE FURNACE OF AFFLICTION. ISA 48:11
FOR MINE OWN SAKE, EVEN FOR MINE OWN SAKE, WILL I DO IT: FOR HOW SHOULD MY NAME BE POLLUTED? AND I WILL NOT GIVE MY GLORY UNTO ANOTHER. I know God will use my testimony to bless someone out there that is or might be going through hell right now. I want you to know that you are valuable and for that reason, hold on and trust that God will not allow you to go through a process if he did not have a great plan for your life. I want to thank all my wonderful kingdom families around the world for your support and prayers, especially Pastor Dr. David Burrows, Dr. Pepe Ramneth, Dr. Darrell Wilson, Dr. Alex Ihama, Dr. Nancy B. Bocalan, PNGCF Embassy for Global Evangelism, Leaders, my friends and partners for sending encouraging words and prayers. May the Lord continue to use you all in your specific domains to affect the world so that Jesus is glorified. I am so fired up for 2019 as God will demonstrate his Kingdom culture through his citizens & ambassadors. To all Kingdom citizens, let’s take the message and become the message in our domains so that the Kingdoms of this world become the Kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ. A very special thank you to my Sister in the Lord, Dr. Nancy B. Bocalan for allowing me to share my story in this magazine. We must always consequently we become resilient in the face of hostility along with trials, knowing that it prepares for us a eternal weight of glory..Hope to meet some of you in our Kingdom conferences and meeting around the world in 2019. ✽

Destiny Stories commonly highlight how people constantly live in unhappy
situations without a visible way out. It seems that all their attempts to acquire a certain autonomy that expresses their identity, personality, and freedom of choice are “doomed” to fail. It even seems like a curse hinders them from living for the purpose for which they were born, which is to fully express their Godly image and likeness as citizens of the heavenly Kingdom and children of Creator. Destiny cannot be a force that determines events not can it be external and higher to human will and actions. Rather destiny is the individual’s destination, and by destination the purpose assigned to each and every person by the Creator. By destination here I mean every instant of life lived according to a plan prepared by God for each person and freely chosen as his or her own. A plan for which each individual is fit, specifically designed and predisposed, as God says, “In him (the Messiah) you were chosen, having been predestined according to my plan, as I work out everything in conformity with the purpose of my will” (Ephesians 1:11). If there really were a destiny intended as a necessity that is independent from God’s will, as well as from our decisions, thoughts, or actions, happiness would be excluded from life a priori. This is the punishment that determinists choose for themselves. If the destination relevant to happiness were only a situation or a place of arrival, then happiness would be reached very likely only after death. For some, the final destination is death, because they do not believe that there is life after life. For others, it is only the life of the world to be, because they believe that there is life beyond life. However, if we limit destiny to the single “final” moment, we may obtain ephemeral or postponed happiness. Those whom I call “religious” are masters in this kind of approach; for them, the God in whom they believe is not real in their lives, the present is something to bear as best one can, while hoping that, through “proper” behaviour, the final destination will be “happy.” They choose a bitter punishment. They live all their lives suffering and postponing (perhaps) peace only after death. I believe that man is free to choose the life he wants to live, and he can choose to live every instant of his life according to the plan for which he was created and born. God says, “I know what plans I have in mind for you … plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future” (Jer. 29:11). When we chose to entrust our lives into God’s will and plans, we live our destiny in each instant, circumstance, or situation of our life and we are also heading for glory of our final destination in the eternal Kingdom of God.
There is an eternal God’s purposed plan for personal and common wellbeing. Destiny as our destination in the present, is reached by carrying out what we were born for. It is like an invisible imprint that exists prior to our choice. When we choose it and live according to the Spirit of God, it is as if we put our foot in that imprint and walk along paths of life already lived by God in eternity, with a stable gait, trusting that we will succeed in our purpose and assignment, as God is the one working in us both the willing and the acting in order to fulfill his good purpose (Philippians 2:13). Sadly, we often live a project of unhappiness. This is true for most people. Unhappiness is not a plan prepared before our births, since we come into the world destined to “eternal bliss.” Rather, it is written little by little, as we live and choose, more or less consciously, to renounce living according to our destiny. It is an evil plan that, if followed, makes people prisoners of their own choices. It is as if it were living a life that was never prepared, designed and given to us to live. A lie, a fake reality for the moment which is not destiny, but only bad choices taken by virtue of our ignorance of God, according to the desires of our flesh and the deceptive tactics of the spirit of this world. There is no determinism nor necessity that obliges any human being beyond his will. Instead, there is a plan, a project for our happiness that was prepared by God long before we were born and is written in a book that also refers to what a person will experience in this world, not only in the world to come. As God says, his eyes could see us when we were still in our mother’s womb, but all our days were already written in his book; our days had been shaped before any of them existed (Ps. 139:16). There is a plan for our lives that exists before we are even born and available in any instant of our lives, provided that we want to choose it. It is marked by righteousness, peace, and joy, which, according to the higher system of God’s Kingdom, makes things happen, opens doors where it seems that there are none, strengthens ideas, exalts gifts, and sometimes even seems to expand time. God has predestined us in His love to be His children, “in accordance with his pleasure and will” (Ephesians 1:5). Therefore, there is a benevolent design that God Himself planned for each one of us. This design envisages for us to live our lives on earth as His children, having His same nature and functioning in His same way. I discovered I can live my destiny only if I have the same Spirit of the One who went through death and rose from the dead. If a person lacks that same Spirit, he can feel slightly better, have less fear, get less angry, make slightly more autonomous decisions; but he cannot live the life of the Book of God. Psychotherapy, counselling, philosophies, logic, and science —all are good, and all are useful, but without the Holy Spirit, we cannot live the life that God has written for each of us.

There is no problem, difficulty, suffering, or illness of any sort that can stop our destiny. Only our will has this power. And it is free to do so at any time. This is why it is a good idea to be watchful, to continue praying that God’s plan for us keeps being fulfilled. God does not always change our circumstances. But he always works his will out of them. It happened to Jesus just before being arrested. He asked the Father to change his situation, knowing that all things are possible to him. However, he said “Still, not what I want, but what you want” (Matt. 14:36). I live my Destiny when I enter God’s kingdom and responsibly cultivate and keep what He has assigned to me and made me in charge of; when I do the righteous things that God has prepared for me to do; when I follow the urge to act when aroused by God’s Spirit in me; when I walk in my destiny, step after step, taking control of all areas in my life, as I gradually pass it on to the Lord. We know that we are God’ masterpiece, created in union with the Messiah Yeshua for a life of good actions already prepared by God for us to do (Ephesians 2:10). To live the Book of Life, we need courage. The courage to be ourselves and face any situation in life: to trust in God and His plan for us; to always hope for His presence, power, and guidance. We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with his purpose (Romans 8:28). We draw this courage from the Holy Spirit. We cannot forge it, striving to have it. It propels the urge to freedom, as each individual aims to find purpose and meaning in life. Our spirit does not tolerate being enslaved to a programmed, script-like, and unconscious life plan, influenced by the decisions of our mind, often unconsciously fuelled by the demon of the moment. There is a land that the Lord has already assigned to us. He has already conquered it for us. He puts us before this land and invites us to live the mission we were chosen for. Our destiny is a destiny of victory. Everything has been done already. It is sufficient not to deviate from its furrow, which is God’s will for us. If we commit our way to the Lord and we trust in him, He will act, and our destiny will be accomplished (Psalm 37:5). If we seek our joy in the Lord, he will give us the desires of our hearts (Psalm 37:3-4). If we entrust all we do to the Lord, our plans will achieve success (Proverbs 16:3). Jesus’ life is the perfect example of all this. He entrusted everything to the Father. He confided in the action of the Holy Spirit and in God’s plan. To accomplish it, He even laid His life down, trusting in the promise that He would have the power to take it up again. He knew that He had been given this power (John 10:18). Jesus was strong and very courageous. And He succeeded in all His undertakings. Let us then pray, “Examine me, God, and know my heart; test me, and know my thoughts. See if there is in me any hurtful way and lead me along the eternal way” (Psalm 139, 23-24). ✽

The Mandate of the Our world, immediate and at large goes through phases. These John Mark Terry defines
the Gospel as “presenting Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit so that people will become His disciples”. Unfortunately, for many Christians today, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ has become optional. Perhaps the Church has bought into the postmodern belief that faith and religion are personal pursuits. We have become cultural Christians. God gave us a clear Biblical mandate to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. It is a mandate that was exemplified and passed on to Christians by Jesus Christ Himself. Let’s see what a mandate is, the definition of a mandate is as follows: an authoritative command especially: a formal order from a superior court or official to an inferior one. An authorization to act given to a representative. Are we not His representatives in the earth commissioned to preach the Gospel? The commission has already gone forth, what are we waiting on? The mandate is clearly laid out in Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Our King has given us a mandate to make Him known among the nations, to spread His kingdom throughout the world. The mandate
Gospel
is to go and preach, Romans 10:14-15 tells us, “How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” We as his Ambassadors have already been given the authority to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom to all the world. In other words, the preaching of the Gospel, bringing people to Christ is the means by which redeemed persons are recruited to transform society, we are given the mandate to reach society with the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Cultural Mandate is the means of shaping society to produce the optimum opportunity for people to hear the Gospel of the Kingdom and come to Christ. Paul tells the Roman Christians “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Luke 10:2 emphasizes the urgency and need in proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom to a dying world. While verses like Galatians 1:6-9 highlight the truth of the gospel. Still other passages point out that Jesus is the only way for men to be saved (John 14:6 and Acts 4:12). All these verses are important when we realize that God the Father has given His Son, Jesus, for the sins of the world and we are given the mandate to proclaim this message boldly!! ✽

The Possible Mission When I saw the theme for this month’s article, I heard the theme
song for “Mission Impossible”. The intro (circa 1960’S) followed, “Good morning Mr. Phelps, your mission should you choose to accept it...”The mission was impossible, yet they had the skill, knowledge and help to complete it. While it may be the norm in Hollywood, in real life it would be “the impossible mission”. When you serve the Lord, you face an impossible mission every day, but Jesus told us otherwise, Matthew 19:26, “But Jesus looked at them and said to them, with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible… All things are possible with God” Why? Because He is doing it, not you. How? By the power of the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Yes, the same Holy Spirit that is in Christ dwells in you. Read Galatians 5:16-26…The Fruit of the Spirit are the beginning, Part One so to speak. Spiritual Gifts can be called Part Two…Read 1 Corinthians 12:1-31…yes I am asking you to read, because, Romans 10:17…So then Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God…Read Galatians 3:5-9…So by our faith in Christ we open the door to The Kingdom and the blessings and favor of God. Then comes the Assignment, should you choose to accept it Mr. Phelps. God never gives you an assignment unless, you can complete it and He provides the abilities, the talents and all the means to succeed, through the Holy Spirit, if you choose to accept it. If you choose not to, He will find someone else to do it, but it will get done. Your Destiny is determined by your obedience to what God has assigned to you. When and if you choose to accept it. Two roads for your destiny. Obedience and refusal. Obedience is the key. The Holy Spirit provides the how, you provide the if and when. The Assignment and the road of Destiny lead to Sonship. That is where God wants you…Read Romans 8:28-30…Read Hebrews 2:10-18…A Son, not the second cousin twice removed, a Son, the one who Inherits! Let us go back to the beginning. You are saved by grace through faith in Jesus. So many Christians stop there. Step into the threshold of salvation, at the doorway of the Kingdom and stay there for the next 40 years happy and contented. Thank God they got there. But oh, what they are missing. They didn’t hear their Assignment or chose not to answer the call. Their Destiny is a dead-end road. The realm of Sonship
is beyond their grasp, contented with only part of what God has for us. Jesus died so we could have it all. How about the Kingdom Mandate? Save the Lost at Any Cost, Preach the Good News to All Nations and others. All are great objectives. In Sonship you are equipped to do those mandates and much more. I believe the Kingdom Mandate is living a Christ like Life. Oh, I can’t do that, oh, yes you can…Philippians 4:13…I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me…Remember…John 14:12…Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father… What happened when Jesus went to be with The Father? The Holy Spirit was sent to earth…Luke 24:49…Behold I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on High.
❝ The only way the world will see Jesus is when they see him in you.❞ Interpretation of the word, power, causes confusion. The Greek word Dunamis, translates, explosive power, miracle power (Strong’s 2784). The original translation, says, receive the miracle working power of Almighty God. The only way the world will see Jesus is when they see him in you. If they see Him, before they see Him in you, it is too late. Mark 16:15…Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…Preach, another interpretation problem. Preach translates, preach, placard, proclaim, herald and by example (Strong’s 1411). God’s message does not self-destruct in 5 seconds. It is always available to all who will seek it. Both the Living Word, Jesus and the written word, the Bible, never expire. Living a Christ like Life (Christian-Christ like) brings the Kingdom to Earth…As it is in Heaven. Sonship enables you to do that. Where the King is, the Kingdom is. Does He live in you? Have you accepted your Assignment? Are you living your Destiny? Are you the Son God expected you to be? Then do what a Son of the King does, spread the Kingdom, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Live the Kingdom Mandate, live Kingdom Life. ✽
