AN EXPOSITION ON MATTHEW CHAPTER THREE

Matthew chapter 3 opened up with a general from Zion - John the Baptist. We later realized from scriptures that John is not just a person but a system from Zion. He came in the spirit of Elias. Matthew 11:14

John was sent with the mandate of preparing the way of the Lord according to Matthew 3:3; and also to announce the Redeemer. The system of strategy obtained in his destiny toolkits was baptism.

He came and submitted himself to the order of his ordination, the system of his ordination guaranteed him to feed on locust and wild honey.

That was the reason he was vigilant enough to understand the manner of the man coming after him whose latchet of His shoe he couldn't loose. He was able to navigate in the spirit to download from the archives of the Spirit to understand that Jesus will come to baptize us with the Holy Ghost and fire.

He was able to see into the future to disclose what he will not per-take in, although the vision helped him to decrease that Christ might increase. That was the reason it was not difficult for John to point his disciples to Christ.

A deep spiritual understanding will leave us working hard for the kingdom instead of running after cheap popularity and firm. John's disciples left him to follow Jesus. But by Spiritual understanding, he realized it's not about him but about Christ.

In our daily lives, we need to ensure that we point men to Christ as our only help and sustainance. Most times we accrue our success to our intellect or hardwork, but fail to understand that God is He, who gives us the power to make wealth and not our strength.

Verse 16 strikes a cord in the spirit because it loosed in the spirit, a closed heaven for Christ to manifest on earth without much struggle.

For you to manifest destiny, you must ensure the heavens are open unto you so as to receive from Zion without obstruction. Let the voice of God speak over your life. Don't think you can breakthrough this harsh and wicked world without the Spirit and voice of God over your life.

Your destiny can be frustrated even if it is ordained by God when the vital ingredient of His presence and voice is absent.

Jesus understood this mystery of the kingdom, if not Jesus would have been a failure on earth. Because there are forces that works against the mandate of Zion from been manifested on the earth.

We need to cooperate with the Immortals, by seeking the Lord, and submitting our Will to His will so as to receive His Spirit and voice for easy manifestation of our divine ordination on earth. Amen.
