BUT JOHN FORBAD HIM, SAYING, I HAVE NEED TO BE BAPTIZED OF THEE, AND COMEST THOU TO ME? AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM, SUFFERS IT TO BE SO NOW: FOR THUS IT BECOMETH US TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEN HE SUFFERED HIM:

LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF FULFILLMENT OF GODS PROMISES FOR THURSDAY 6/19/2014 IS: MATTHEW 3:13-17. Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “BUT JOHN FORBAD HIM, SAYING, I HAVE NEED TO BE BAPTIZED OF THEE, AND COMEST THOU TO ME? AND JESUS ANSWERING SAID UNTO HIM, SUFFERS IT TO BE SO NOW: FOR THUS IT BECOMETH US TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. THEN HE SUFFERED HIM”. It might interest you to know that it is not all that you suffer in the hands of this sinful world that we live in, that is orchestrated by the enemy Satan, its spirit and human agents of darkness? Some of the pains, torture, humiliations, and oppressions were for you to fulfil the promises of God for your life. John the Baptist suffered same in the hands of God when Jesus who was supposed to baptize him came to him to be baptized. If you are to be in the place of John the Baptist, what would you have done when you know in the spirit that God the son is standing before you demanding something that is bigger than you to do for him? This is the situation most of us found ourselves in and misrepresented it to be Satan. We need to open our spiritual eyes to discern the spiritual things and also satanic things so that we will not be misled in any area of life. To be fulfilled in the promises of God, you must be sharp in testing and discerning every spirit, I advise you test every spirit. The words of Jesus to John the Baptist can put one off; when he said suffer it now. That brings to conclusion that in life there will be some things that you will suffer unjustly without having any answer or reason to give about it, but it is for your good. John the Baptist did not know that Baptizing Jesus at River Jordan will enable him to experience his first “OPEN HEAVEN” whereby the Almighty God will speak to the hearing of all present and the Holy Spirit descending from heaven right on Jesus at the River Jordan, which has never happened before since he has been baptizing people. Your own open heaven is waiting for you, just be sensitive to observe the moment, when your suffering will be turned to joy and celebrations. Do not allow anything to distract you from observing the right moment and make use of it to fulfil the promises of God for your life. Shalom. Read below: Matthew 3:13-17 King James Version (KJV). 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
