Greetings to you Nigerians, my very good and gifted friends here, steemians and all the active members of the platform. I salute you all. I believe your day is going as drafted. It's another new beginning of a new week and we are glad and grateful to God almighty for his sustainability and great Providence. In my today's post, am going on the lane as Sunday tradition activities demands. In a greater population and numbers, we present our bodies into the church today in worship and praises to him that made the universe and the technical wonders therein, the God almighty. Welcome to my Sunday publication "Sunday service - living message".

We have this part of the scriptures that says, whatever that is born of God, overcomes the world. We have faithful, scripturally, prophetically, convincingly and instinctually understood and realised that overcoming the world is very easy and quick. But have overtime, battling with one major and capital problem which is, overcoming ourselves.
If we consider born itself biologically, we find out that father and mother are copied during formation of a new person (the baby, offspring). And no matter the level of external factors, the child must be behaving, looking, acting and speaking like the parents. Whatever that is born of God, overcomes the world. The world is those challenges, suspected witches and witchcraft, temptations, up and down inherent in life and setbacks. This is the world. Whatever that is born of God overcomes the world.

For a child to be a true son and daughter of the parents, he or she must receive the traits which is embedded in the chromosome from both parents and then he/she can be called a true child of the father and the mother. Emphasis here, is receiving to become. If we examine closely without rumours, but with empirical evidence, most of us, only believe in God but yet to receive his nature and might, so that we will be called the true sons and daughters of God, born of God and we are that overcometh the world.
Some men are elders and Dickons even pastors and overseas, the next news we often hear from them, is that they died while sleeping with a member church tenager. This is never and can never be the nature of God. These category, are not born of God. Some married members and dignitaries in the church, after church dismissal today, they go home and beat their wives blue and black. This is not the nature of God and can never be. Which means they are not born of God.

Some women members and dignitaries in the church are ever ready to storm and bombard smelly and rotten words on their fellow members of the church and worse even outside and homes They have used their mouth, and attitude to kill many marriages and are deaths traps to their husbands whereas they are in the church today, together in fellowship and communion. Envy, wickedness, backbiting, enmity, hatred, gossip, and so on, is never and can never be the nature of God. And they in possession, no matter how many years they have been in the church, their level and rank in there, they are not born of God.
Let's look at the consequences of being in church even as regular as possible, being partakers and heads of all that goes in the house of God, the activities and function but not born of God. It is crystal clear, such people who are not born of God can never overcome the world. They pray and fast day and night but no results because they don't have the keys (receiving is the key not just believing). People of faith is different from faithful people.

If you are faithful, it means you are honest, trustworthy and truthful. But this doesn't mean one is a person of faith. We are not in the flesh with God, neither in any biology with him, but faith bears the powers to establish us in blood and waters, nature and might of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, faith is the seed of traits we inherited from God and in possession of it, we are born of God, subsumed and consumed in the nature, might and power of God. And we are they that overcame the world. Therefore, we need to overcome ourselves because overcoming the world is very easy and quick. It has root so clear, understandable. In this, our prayers will be answered even before we opening our mouth to pray. Just because we are born of God.
Thank you for your attention to you who has this zeal, patients and interest to read a lengthy article like this, you are blessed, your days shall be enjoyably long and wish all of you a pleasant Sunday parties and cruises.
