Remember, The Time Is Short; Therefore, Glorify God By Being Fervent And Effectual In Leading Souls To Christ. Thank You Dear Lord For Counting Me Worthy To Be A Co-Labourer With You In Saving Souls, In Jesus’ Name. Amen.           

(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation) (2 Corinthians 6:2).

       More than ever before, there’s a burning passion in the hearts of God’s people to preach the Gospel, just as there’s a great hunger and yearning for salvation in the hearts of men and women around the world. The Spirit has been poured out upon all flesh. Recall the words of Jesus in Acts 1:8: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

        That’s the season we are in now! We’ve been endued with power to be effectual in soul winning. The message is available to everyone, and everyone can give their hearts to Christ, because this is the acceptable time! Jesus called it “…the acceptable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:19). And it’s aptly corroborated in our theme verse: “…now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation).” This is the day of salvation. Glory to God!

        However, the acceptable time would wind up and judgement would begin. Jesus brought in the acceptable time; He’ll come back for the day of vengeance. But at the moment, we’re workers together with God in the acceptable time, bringing men and women into salvation (2 Corinthians 6:1).

        Help those around you receive salvation through the power of God that works in you in this hour of His grace. Take the Gospel to the lost, hopeless, hurting and downtrodden in your world and in the regions beyond. Remember, the time is short; therefore, glorify God by being fervent and effectual in leading souls to Christ.

PRAYER

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. Thank you dear Lord for counting me worthy to be a co-labourer with you in saving souls, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.           

Isaiah 49:7-9 (TLB) The Lord, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, says to the One who is despised, rejected by mankind, and kept beneath the heel of the world’s rulers: “Kings shall stand at attention when you pass by; princes shall bow low because the Lord has chosen you; he, the faithful Lord, the Holy One of Israel, chooses you.” 8-9 The Lord says, “Your request has come at a favorable time. I will keep you from harm and give you as a token and pledge to Israel, proof that I will reestablish the land of Israel and reassign it to its own people again. Through you I am saying to the prisoners of darkness, ‘Come out! I am giving you your freedom!’ They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures and on the grassy hills.

Hebrews 3:7-8 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Romans 10:10-17
For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? …

Wartime Mentality!


“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

Matthew_28-19-3: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Matthew_28-19-3: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost

Wartime Mentality!

Time spent fellowshipping with others should equip and empower you to do battle in daily life. Yet so many just go home from church, keep to themselves, and never obey the marching orders of our Commander in Chief who said to every Christian, “Go… and make disciples of all nations.”

The Christian life is not to be lived in a sanctuary, separated from risk and danger. No, every believer must answer the call to step into the unknown and unsafe areas of life, obeying the Commander-in-Chief’s call to preach the Good News of Christ to the ends of the earth!

Matthew_9-37: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few

Matthew_9-37: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:19

Read: Matthew 9:36-38

36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Our God is a counting God who is interested in numbers. He is interested in your advancement. He is interested in your prosperity, peace of mind and growth. Candidly, God is interested in the growth of His Church – local, national and global. There are many secrets of church growth which include:

Good Biblical Leadership,

Mobilising The Congregation,

A Balanced Spiritual Diet,

Prayer,

Faith,

Answers To Prayers,

Evangelistic Outreaches,

Creativity & Resourcefulness,

Finance Etc.

Matthew_9-37: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few

Are you a Christian worker or a minister of the gospel? Is your church or parish a growing church? For a church to grow, she must be interested in growth. Such a church must cater for the needs of the spirit, soul and body of her members. There is real fellowship in a growing church. It must be blessed with an obedient Pastor, who is a positive thinker. A growing church is committed to reaching the unreached for Christ and using evangelistic methods that work.

Aggressive Evangelism is a secret of church growth. It is a process whereby the presentation of the gospel is done zealously, compassionately and in a Christ-like manner. Aggressive evangelism takes two forms which are:
Aggressive Personal Evangelism
And Aggressive Mass Evangelism (i.e. evangelism to a group of people).

Are you a soul winner? Soul winners are wise. Aggressive evangelism is what sincere soul winners practice. This requires genuine consecration, commitment and resolute determination. Aggressive evangelism is a secret of church growth for many reasons.

First, it produces abundant and lasting results.

Second, it embraces all the other principles of church growth.

Third, it motivates Christians to pray.

Fourth, it succeeds where other methods fail.

For aggressive evangelism to be effective, there must be thorough preparation. This includes spiritual preparation in form of prayer and fasting, humility, obedience to the voice of the Spirit, holiness, consecration and willingness to do the work. There should also be physical preparation in the form of audience analysis, getting the site for the outreach and forming a committee that will assist in the work. The message of aggressive evangelism should be heart-felt and presented with conviction (Acts 2:36). It must be Spirit-inspired in order to bring about repentance and joy (Acts 8:5-8). Finally, the fruits of aggressive evangelism (souls) must be guarded jealously and preserved in love till they meet Christ in glory. This is made possible through equally aggressive follow-up and discipleship. A church that engages in aggressive evangelism will grow spiritually and numerically, and Christ’s Name will be glorified.

Action Point:
Share the gospel with at least one soul today. Be aggressive in evangelism

If You Have Been Blessed And Touched By The Lord, Share Your Testimony


Evangelist Ray Comfort open-air preaching at a...

If You have been blessed and Touched by the Lord, Share Your Testimony

 

 

 

 

 

 

Acts 22:2-3

 

 

 

 

 

“Then he said: ‘I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strictness of our fathers’ law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today.'”
NKJV

In Acts 22, Paul shares his ‘God story’, his testimony. Why is he doing this? Is it so others will be amazed at his religious upbringing or at the depth of his biblical training? Is it to glorify his past? No, Paul is sharing his testimony to lead others to Christ by explaining who he was before Jesus, what Jesus did, and the joy that he now has because of Jesus. This is one of the most effective ways of sharing your faith. You see, people can argue about historical facts and they can disagree over cultural details, but people cannot argue with the fact that you found love, joy and forgiveness at the foot of the cross. Brother or sister, don’t be shy about telling your ‘God story’. Tell it to as many as will listen and you will be amazed at how God will use it to change the lives of those around you.

 

 

 

 

 

Life Lesson: Share your life story often with people.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for loving me and saving me. Though I was a sinner, You sought me out and saved me from who I was so that I could live for You forever. Please give me courage and opportunity to share my testimony with others and forgive me for times when I had opportunities to share and did not. I pray this in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

 

 

 

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Open Doors

Open Doors

 

READ: 1 Corinthians 16:1-12

For a great and effective door has opened to me. —1 Corinthians 16:9

The Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) wrote: “If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but . . . for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible.”

The apostle Paul saw some great ministry possibilities in his life situations. He used the open doors God provided to witness for Christ. When he was arrested in Jerusalem and appeared before Governor Felix, he used the opportunity to proclaim the gospel (Acts 24:24). While he and Silas were in prison, they shared the gospel with the Philippian jailer (Acts 16:25-34). And later Paul used his imprisonment in Rome as an opportunity to encourage the Philippian believers in their faith (Phil. 1:12-18).

In writing to the church at Corinth, Paul told the believers he wanted to visit and spend some time with them, but that he needed to stay in Ephesus because of an opportunity for ministry: “I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great and effective door has opened to me” (1 Cor. 16:8-9). And Paul also involved others by asking them to pray for open doors so he could speak clearly about Christ (Col. 4:3).

Ask God to show you possible open doors of service. You might be surprised at what you see. —Dennis Fisher

Jesus said to one and all:
“Take your cross and follow Me.”
When you sense the Spirit’s call,
Seize the opportunity! — Hess

 

God writes opportunity on one side of the door and responsibility on the other.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry


1 Timothy 1:12 NKJV

 

It’s your first day on a new job. You walk in with little to no experience and your boss tells you, “I’m taking two weeks off and you’re running the business.” Can you imagine the fear and anxiety that would hit you at that moment? To be given a major task you haven’t been equipped to accomplish would cause anyone to throw up their hands in frustration. When it comes to serving the Lord and ministering to others, God has not left you empty handed. He has equipped you through His Holy Spirit and His Word to engage in ministry in a powerful way.

1 Corinthians 12:7 “A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other.” NKJV

I’ve often heard it stated that “where God guides He provides.” This is very true. At your moment of salvation, God instills in you a new desire to serve and bless others. With that desire, He also gives you the tools necessary to accomplish this goal. Whether it’s ministering to those in a nursing home or teaching a church of thousands, God will give you the wisdom, strength and ability to do that which He’s called you to do. So, what has he called you to do? Are you walking in His power or standing in your own? Go ahead, take that step. And as you do, the power of God will lead you on an adventure in ministry that will change your life and the lives of those around you.

Life Lesson: Jesus Christ will enable and empower you to minister in His directives.

Dear Father,
Thank You for the gifts and abilities that You have given me. Help me to step out in faith and to use those gifts to bless others and to bring You glory. Teach me to be available to Your call and the direction of the Holy Spirit. Use me today to reach others for eternity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

By their fruits you shall know them


Sorbus americana English: Fruit of American Mo...

By their fruits you shall know them

Matthew 7:20,

MATTHEW 7:12-20

The way that you can tell whether a person is genuine or not is by the fruit they produce. This fruit is speaking of lifestyle. Jesus made the point that you don’t get bad fruit from a good tree, and you don’t get good fruit from a bad tree. Many people say one thing, but their actions speak so loudly that you really can’t hear what they are saying. If you are in doubt about whether a person is genuine or not, or whether you should receive from them and follow their teaching, look at the fruit they are producing.

In evaluating ministers and ministries, more attention should be given to the fruit that is being produced. Failure to do this could lead someone to reject and even discredit a minister who simply makes a mistake or is wrong in one area. Every minister has shortcomings, just as every other member of the Body of Christ does. But that doesn’t mean his ministry is bad. Look at the fruit.

Fruit is the true test of ministers and ministries. If people are being saved, if lives are being changed, there is good fruit. Even though the minister may say something bad and make mistakes, the fruit is good.

Therefore, you can say that the tree is good. When a person says all of the right things and may seem sincere, but you see the lives of people around them shattered and torn, and in confusion and distress, then the fruit is bad. You can judge the effectiveness of a person by the fruit that they are producing in their life. In ministry you can judge the effectiveness of a minister by the fruit that his ministry is producing.

Today, make sure that the fruit that comes from your life is positive. Make sure that you are making a positive impact on people’s lives, that you are turning people to the Lord and not leaving them hurt and confused. People are looking at you to see what type of fruit you are bearing.

 

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit

 

2 Chronicles 35:5

“Then stand in the sanctuary at the place appointed for your family division and help the families assigned to you as they bring their offerings to the Temple.”
NKJV

Part of being a disciple of Jesus is helping others become disciples as well. When we read the word, we should be ready to share what we’ve learned with our friends and family. When we see God answer prayers, we have a great opportunity to display the goodness of God to others. Even when we walk through difficult situations we can look for others to help disciple since, one day, they could be in that same situation.

Each moment in life can be a discipleship moment, for ourselves as well as others. This week, look for chances to disciple someone. Discipleship does not necessarily mean sitting in a classroom but can simply be a conversation or even an action. As we look for these moments, be ready for God to act. There are many believers who are wondering what the next step in the walk with Christ may be, and you may have the answer.

Matthew 28:19 ” Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

Life Lesson: We should be helping others in their walk with the Lord.

Dear God,
Make me a bold disciple. Father, I desire to serve others, love my enemies and give my all to You. I ask that You would give me opportunities to make more disciples for Your kingdom. In those moments, give me the wisdom needed to push someone closer to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD make His face shine upon us, And be gracious to us; May the Lord lift up His countenance upon us, And give us peace, In Jesus Christ Name, we pray! Amen!

Discipleship

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:26

Read: Matthew 8:18-23

After the Lord Jesus Christ instructed the multitude that they should go to the other side, only the disciples obeyed. The rest of the people went their way. A particular learned man met Him and offered to follow Jesus where he went. The Lord was happy to hear this but quickly told him that following Him was sacrificial.

And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head (Matthew 8:20).

The Lord made him realise that in the course of following Him, he will go through situations of discomfort and self denial. But the man loved his bed too much! He could not go through any inconvenience for the sake of the Gospel. That was the last time we heard of him. Even till this day, convenience is what is coming between God and some of His children. But I really wonder where we learnt that from, obviously not from God! John 3:16 says when God was to sow for man’s redemption, it was His best He gave. How come those who have been washed in the blood cannot make a little sacrifice for the Lord? If you are wise, you will bridge the gap between God’s sacrificial gift and your gifts every time you have the opportunity of giving something to Him or doing something for Him.

Another person – this time a disciple of Jesus came to Him, promising to follow the Lord after he had first buried his father (Matthew 8:21-22). It is possible he was the first born male in that family so a lot was expected from him. But the Lord’s reply could only have shocked him too. Jesus was not saying he shouldn’t bury his father. The burial was good but following the Lord was more important. The dead is already dead and burying the corpse could not bring back life, but following Jesus could both assure him of physical and eternal life. The burial was okay but following the Lord was urgent. You should not engage in ceremonies at the expense of following Christ. Also, whenever there is a clash of both, as a true disciple, you must be prepared to make Christ first, not last as this man offered. It also means that you must appreciate the need to follow the Lord above all other earthly consideration. Do you?

To be His disciple, your priorities must be right with Christ at the top.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Receiving Your Money Miracle: Know God

by Pastor Andre Butler

And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he

distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were

set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would

John 6:11

Scripture says that Jesus already knew what He was going to do. To whom

did Jesus give thanks? To God, the Father. For what did He give thanks?

For the fact that God was going to provide a miracle.

The first key to receiving your miracle is knowing the God who is

making you rich. I’m not talking about knowing just with your mental

understanding; I’m talking about knowing with spiritual revelation who

He is, and what He is doing. One good message about prosperity will not

make you prosperous. Only a lifestyle of studying the Word of God

concerning this subject and living it will make you prosperous.

Be Fruitful

Be fruitful

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:3

Part of the characteristics of a living thing is reproduction and growth. A christen reproduces by winning souls and ought to grow in fellowship with and in service to the LORD. This is what it means to bear fruits. The Lord is not happy with any part of His body that bears no fruit; He says such will eventually be cut off (John 15:2). But the Lord does not desire for any part of His to be cut off hence he sends this warning: Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die. For I have not found thy works perfect before God. (Revelation 3:2)

One way you can strengthen the good things that are fast dying in your life or ministry is by evangelism. Many complain today that miracles are not happening in their ministry. How will they when you do not go out? If you do not go, they will not follow. Your potentials in the miraculous can never be fully realised until Heaven is satisfied that you have obeyed the Master’s last command – Go!

Another way you can strengthen the things that are about to die is by giving. You may say you cannot play an active part in giving because of financial handicap; but you can give other things – Time, Intellect, Voice, Hands, Legs, Energy, Your Whole Self, etc. however, lay a solid foundation of service and giving. You will surely reap! What is that good thing that is about to die? Fire it with zeal, more commitment and dedication today.

Ask God for grace to serve Him acceptably. Have you met your evangelism target for this quarter? Ensure this before the quarter ends.

God bless Us! Amen!

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

You are won to win others, go out and win a soul today

In need of deliverance?

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. (John 15:2)

As seen in Revelation 3:8 and according to 2 Corinthians 12:9, if your strength is small but Jesus is with you, you will achieve more than the fellow who has greater strength but lacks His backing. When God backs you, He will make things easy for you. In addition, if He is the One who opened that door for you, no matter what the enemies do, they will not be able to shut it. God can open to you the door of missionary opportunity. From the example of Apostle Paul, while at Ephesus, the Lord opened opportunities to win souls to Him in spite of the opposition. One way God rewards soul winners is by creating more opportunities to witness. For those who are shy to preach the Gospel, know that the most challenging step is to win the first soul. You will find soul winning much more easier after you take in your first catch. It is commonly said that practice makes perfect. When you win souls, the anointing to rake in more is released. When last did you win souls to Christ?

Moreover, you will also notice that the more you turn down an opportunity to win souls to Christ, the more difficult it becomes to speak to the next soul that comes your way. When this continues, satan will permanently shut your mouth for a whole month, or for a period. This is bondage! If the mouth the Lord gave to you to declare Him to men is used for everything else other than that, you are in bondage. A lot of Christians have been delivered from sin but need deliverance from the spirit of fear refraining them from preaching the Gospel. Do not deceive yourself that you are pleasing God when you do not win souls. You displease God big time! If your position as a pastor is the excuse for not winning souls, it is better you quit that office and regularly win souls than retain the office without winning souls.

You are won to win others. Go out and win a soul today!

We are the salt of the earth

We are the salt of the earth

Matthew 5:13, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

MATTHEW 5:13-16

What is it that will be cast out and trodden under foot of men? Is it the salt, or is it possible that Jesus is speaking about the world? If we as believers lose our preserving influence, then there is no other way for the Lord to save the world. It will be dominated by men.

God flows through His people. It is not our own power that changes people. It’s God’s power in us. But God will not do it without us. It’s a partnership.

Many people spend a lifetime praying for God to move, not understanding that He is going to flow through them. It is not God who is failing to intervene. It is God’s people who are failing to cooperate and let Him flow through them.

Every Christian has God living in them. Therefore we are carrying around other people’s miracles. If we fail to walk in the supernatural power of God, then somone will miss their miracle. We are God’s salt to preserve this putrifying world. Today, get out of the shaker and let the life of God which is in you flow to someone in need.

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age


Jesus H. ChristGo therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age

(Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV).

Jesus said that we are to go, and as we’re going, to make disciples. That involves walking with Him and sharing Him with others. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Understand that your own life is a great part of your witness. If my relationship with Christ isn’t vital, then I really don’t have a lot to share. People not only listen to your words, they look at your life. We still fail and aren’t always a good example, so our only hope is to come to God and surrender to Him. It’s nothing that we can do. It’s God’s work.

2. Realize that we earn the right to be heard by sincerely listening to others. Everyone has a story. You can’t just blunder into a situation and callously share without listening. The Bible says that Jesus was a friend of sinners. That’s our example—to be a friend, to listen to people, see where they are, and then take them where they need to go.

3. Recognize that people are looking for a cure. When you go to the doctor, you don’t say, “I have cancer.” Instead, you describe your symptoms. That’s where most people live. They only see symptoms. “I’m lonely. I’m suffering from a broken relationship. I’m stressed.” … We know the ultimate cure. It’s Jesus Christ. Jesus didn’t die for their symptoms. He died for their sins. Yet, people don’t wake up in the morning and think, You know, I need to accept Jesus. They wake up with the symptoms, and so as people who are attempting to rescue those who are lost, we need to start with their symptoms, show them the disease (sin), and take them to the ultimate cure (Jesus)

May Our God The Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend us from all our enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Sin comes like a thief


Sin comes like a thief

A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.

Galatians 5:9

Sin works just like yeast-a little of it will spread through your whole life. A little false doctrine can compromise a whole church, just like a little bit of alcohol can compromise your ability to think and function.

The truth is that sin doesn’t announce its plan to destroy you or your life. It comes in like a thief…subtly waiting for the perfect opportunity to cause the most damage-like during times of stress and strain.

If you get the leaven out beforehand, sin cannot cause harm-it cannot destroy. How can you get the leaven out?

By making a diligent search for it! Where should we search? In the pews…the pulpit…and in our homes. Who should make the search? The deacons…the elders…the preachers…and you!

As you turn over every item, as you look in every crack and crevice, whatever is not of God or in alignment with His Word should be thrown out.

It is time to get the leaven out. Sin is not a pet…it is not cute…it cannot be managed…it cannot be counseled…it cannot be reasoned with. The only solution is to eliminate it through faith in Jesus.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Hebrews 13:8 says: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”

Jesus is the Christ, the one who heals the sick, the one who raises the dead, the one who multiplies the bread, the one who calms the storm, the one who saves the lost, the one who opens the blind eyes, and the one who brings peace.

He is the Christ, the Son of God today. He is the Christ of the present. Yes, He was the Christ yesterday, but He certainly is still the Christ today. He will be the Christ tomorrow, but He wants to be your Christ right now. He is on your side. What He has done for others, He desires to do for you today. Let Him be the Christ of your moment, the Christ of your circumstance, the Christ of your storm, the Christ in your sickness, because He desires to do for you what He did yesterday. He was there then, He is now here with you.

He’s the same!

God looks inside of us

John 4:19, “The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.”

JOHN 4:4-26

This didn’t take any great discernment on the woman’s part. Jesus had just “read her mail”. He told her the most intimate details of her life. Anyone could have perceived Jesus was a prophet after something like that.

This woman suddenly realized that she was dealing with more than just a man. God was speaking to her. What was her reaction? She changed the subject. She brought up a doctrinal issue concerning the proper place to worship–anything to get Jesus’ attention off of her.

We all have a tendency to build walls of privacy around the intimate details of our lives. We are afraid to let anyone, especially God, look inside. But God already knows and He wants all of our heart.

Jesus brought this woman right back to the subject of her personal relationship with God. The place of worship or the forms of worship weren’t important. God was looking for people who would open their hearts–even the hidden parts–for Him to inhabit.

Likewise today, Satan tries to get us occupied with everything except the one thing that counts. God wants us to worship Him in spirit and truth. Anything less than that is not enough

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Soul winning

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16)

God’s number one passion is soul winning! This is the reason He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world, not to reach out to the plants, mountains and animals, which are important, but to the world of humans. His great concern for humans is understandable; He made man in His own image and likeness which accounts for His burning desire to have men receive eternal life.

His overwhelming passion to reconcile men to Himself is highlighted in the assignment He gave to Jesus. He gave Jesus the most important job in the world – preaching the Gospel and bringing eternal life to men. Jesus buttressed this when He declared in John 10:10, “….I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

The Lord Jesus Christ has in turn passed on The Father’s passion unto the Church. He said in Mark 16:15, “…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  As a Christian, above everything else, you must take the responsibility of taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth seriously. Always remember this and do your utmost to fulfil Our Father’s Passion!

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for entrusting me with the divine responsibility of reaching my world with the message of eternal life. Thank You for the great privilege and honour to be able to share this divine truth of the Gospel. As I do this today, men and women are delivered from the bondage of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus Christ Name! Amen!

Jesus Loves You And He Understands Your Pains And Sorrows! The Lord Is Gracious And Full Of Compassion. Psalm 145:8

Jesus loves you and He understands your pains and sorrows!

The Lord Is Gracious And Full Of Compassion. Psalm 145:8

I have a friend who was working in his home office one evening, trying to get some necessary paperwork done. His little girl, who was about 4 years old at the time, was playing around his desk, puttering about, moving objects here and there, pulling out drawers, and making a good deal of noise.

My friend endured the distraction with stoic patience until the child slammed a drawer on one of her fingers and screamed in pain. Reacting in exasperation he shouted, “That’s it!” as he escorted her out of the room and shut the door.

Later, her mother found her weeping in her bedroom and tried to comfort her. “Does your finger still hurt?” she asked. “No,” the little girl sniffled. “Then why are you crying?” her mother asked. “Cause,” she whimpered, “When I pinched my finger, Papa didn’t say, “Sorry!’”

Sometimes that’s all we need, isn’t it? Someone who cares and who will respond with kindness and compassion, someone who will say, “Sorry!” or “I love you!” We have One name Jesus who does that for us.

Jesus loves us, understands our pains and sorrows, and gave Himself for us (Eph. 5:2). Now we are to “Walk in love” and imitate Him. –David Roper

Knowing God – what comfort there,

Drawn by His eternal care;

Love from God- what joy we share,

Drawn into His mercies rare. – Branon

God’s whisper of comfort quiets the noise of our trials!

May God Almighty prosper Nigeria and Israel and defend them from all their enemies in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son (Elected by grace)

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN
SON (ELECTED BY GRACE)

But ye are an elect
race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession,
that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness
into His marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9 ASV).

In Genesis 6, the Bible tells us of certain angels who
married the daughters of men and produced giants in the earth. Thus their seed
spread upon the earth till they had cousins and relatives everywhere. These were
not godly seeds; satan’s ploy was to pollute the human race. But God put a stop
to this pollution by destroying the whole world.

Satan knew God had promised that the seed of the woman would
bruise his head (Genesis 3:15), so by polluting the human race with the
corruptive seed of the giants, he hoped to nullify God’s plan. But he failed.
God had reserved eight people who were unmixed with the pollution – Noah and
his family! They were undefiled. The Bible says Noah found grace in the eyes of
the Lord, and he was a righteous man, perfect in his generations (Genesis
6:8-9). Thus through him and his family, God started a whole new generation.

Now, the Bible also lets us know that the whole world was
under condemnation for Adam’s transgression. But just as God reserved a remnant
for Himself in the days of Noah, “Even so
at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of
grace”
(Romans 11:5). God, by sending His Son, Jesus, as sacrifice for sin,
reserved a remnant for Himself. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”.

Consequently, those of us who believe in Jesus and have
accepted and confessed Him as Lord of our lives are the remnant God has chosen
out of this condemned world. We’re God’s elect today, specially called out by
grace! Not only has He chosen us, He has made us a wonder to our world. Now,
we’re a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar
people, set to manifest His excellent wisdom and perfection to all creation.
What a glorious honour to be elected by God’s grace!

CONFESSION

I’m not of this
world; I’m God’s choice, chosen by His special grace before the foundation of
the world for glory and excellence. My life is a manifestation of the
supernatural because I was born a peculiar treasure unto God. My life is for
the glory of God. Amen!

Be A Blessing To Others! Choose To Live A Meaningful Life; By Watering Others, You Water Yourself


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS! CHOOSE
TO LIVE A MEANINGFUL LIFE; BY WATERING OTHERS, YOU WATER YOURSELF

It is possible to give
away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose
everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he water
himself (Proverbs 11:24-25 TLB)

It’s not enough to live long; it’s what you live for that
really matters. There are those who live for more than a hundred years, but
made no impact in the lives of those around them; there was just nothing
significant about their lives. They really didn’t contribute to their society;
always “taking”, never giving back.

Are you contributing positively to the advancement of the
lives of those around you? This is a question you must ask yourself and truthfully
answer. Choose to live a meaningful life. One that’ll make the world move
forward, touching the lives of others in a positive way. Be a blessing to
others, and you’ll always be lifted, for you are lifted as you lift others!
Your promotion is in your promoting others. Your success is discovered when you
help others become successful. You’ll never discover the treasure God has kept
in you until you reach out to help someone else become something. That’s where
real joy is! This is because “The liberal
soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself”
(Proverbs 11:25
). Hallelujah!

God will make happen for you what you make happen for
others. So keep helping those around you stand strong and tall; help them
discover their God-given potentials; be a part of their success story. If
you’re an employer, help those in your employ realize their dreams for success.
In the same way, as an employee in an organization, be diligent; commit
yourself to improving that organization. Make the progress of that organization
your priority, for in her prosperity shall you also prosper.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that You grant me today, the grace, wisdom and strength to always
recognize the need of those around me, that I may bring them hope, and inspire
them to success and greatness. I thank You for making me a lifter and helper of
others. Today, I choose to help someone be a success, in Jesus Christ Name.
Amen!

God Embraces Our Imperfections,That’s Why Jesus Came And Died For Us


A breakfast.

Image via Wikipedia

GOD EMBRACES OUR IMPERFECTIONS, THAT’S WHY JESUS CAME AND
DIED FOR US

God understands our imperfection, that’s why He sent His only
begotten son Jesus Christ, to redeem us from every condemnation (Romans 8:1; 3)

The popular little
story below illustrates it all:

“When I was a little boy, my mom liked to make breakfast
food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when
she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long
ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and extremely burned toast in
front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad
did was to reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and asked me how my day was at
school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching
him smear butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite! When I got up from
the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for
burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said. “Baby, I love burned toast.”

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night, and I
asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, “Little Buddy, your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s
real tired. And besides a little burnt toast never hurt anyone! You know, life
is full of imperfect things…..and imperfect people. I’m not the best
housekeeper or cook.”

What I’ve learnt over the years is that learning to accept
each other’s shortcoming – and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences –
is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and
lasting relationship. And that’s my prayer for you today – that you will learn
to take the good, the bad and the ugly part of your life and lay them at the
feet of GOD. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you
a relationship where burnt toast isn’t a deal – breaker! We could extend this
to any relationship in fact – as understanding is the base of any relationship,
be it a husband – wife or parent – child or friendship!

Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket
– but into your own.

See through God’s eyes and feel through God’s heart, and you
will appreciate the value of every soul including yourself.

People will always forget what you do, and they will always
forget what you say, but they will never, ever forget the way you make them
feel.

We Walk By Faith Not By Sight: Miracle


Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

MIRACLE! WE WALK BY FAITH NOT BY SIGHT

God told Abraham to get up and look beyond the horizon,
because he was going to receive as far as his eyes could see. The man who was
healed of blindness at Bethsaida made a very striking statement before his
sight was completely restored. He said he saw men as trees, walking (Mark
8:22-26).

What you see is dependent on how you see what you see. You
could say, “My money is reducing fast,” or “I still have some money.” You could
also say, “My brother is sick” or “My brother is recovering”.

Jesus instructed the blind man to look up, and placed His
hands on his eyes again and he was restored, totally healed. You might be
praying earnestly for something without getting results. It’s time to look up
and say, “I will lift up my eyes to the
hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made
heaven and earth”
(Psalm 121:1-2).

If you believe your help comes from heaven, begin to see it,
say it, and act it. Stop celebrating the problem. That will only serve to
magnify it. Rather, say, “it is settled. I am walking by faith and not by
sight”. When you look above the problem, you activate faith in God. In that
atmosphere of faith, you’ll get a miracle. Speak what He says, and not what you
see. Then He will be in charge, and He will perform it.

CONFESSION:

I do not look at
visible things that are temporal, but I keep my eyes on Jesus, the Author and
Perfecter of my faith. I walk by faith and not by sight.

All You Need Is The Word Of God; The Light Of Life; The Lord Jesus Christ Who Is The Word Of God Made Flesh


Stained glass at St John the Baptist's Anglica...

Image via Wikipedia

Man is hopelessly lost until he receives God’s Word (2
Corinthians 4:3-4). The Word of God is the true light (John 1:9). This is the
light that you need to find your way through life. You see, the world is
pervaded by darkness and until you recognize the Word as the true Light, you’ll
continue to grope in life.

Fear, confusion, poverty, disease and death are all forms of
darkness. They all originated from the same source, the devil, who is himself
darkness. The reason many people fall by the way side in life is that they
didn’t have the light to go through the darkness of life and there was no light
for them to navigate, so they fell and plunged themselves deeper into darkness.

When you get a hold of the Word of God, your path becomes
illuminated and you’re able to find your way through life. If however you
neglect the Word and your choices are made in darkness, you’ll get yourself
into bigger trouble.

The Bible says, “He (God) sent His Word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions” (Psalms 107:20). Therefore, it
makes no difference the type of darkness you’re going through today, all you
need is the Word of God; the Light of life; the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the
Word of God made flesh.

He said, “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever
believeth on me should not abide in darkness” (John 12:46). He’ll lead you
through the darkness of confusion, frustration, disease, poverty, and fear. You
can walk out of that darkness a victor today for the Light is coming to you
today through this devotional. Therefore, open your heart and receive
direction. Hallelujah! Amen!

PRAYER

Father, I thank You
for You have commanded Your Light to shine out of my darkness and this Light is
shinning in my heart. Therefore, my life is illuminated with the glory of your
Word; prosperity, and God – ideas are coming to me now and I’m making the right
choices in life, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

Enjoy Your God’s Given Life.

When your
alarm clock goes off in the morning do you wish you could just stay in bed? Do
your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with frustration, boredom or
hopeless? If these sentiments describe the way you feel about life, then you
are not enjoying the fullness of life that Christ offers. He is not only our
saviour but also our burden-bearer. God wants you to have a much better life –
one that you enjoy! God will give you the ability to enjoy life, no matter what.

Here’s how you can enjoy your life

Notice God’s
gifts and thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each
new day when you wake up from bed.

Throughout
the day, keep your mind on the good things in your life for which you’re
grateful. Don’t forget to acknowledge basic blessings such as your ability to
breathe, eat or smile.

Turn your
worries into prayers. Whenever a worry enters your mind, find a promise of God
that responds to it and turn it into prayer point. Know that worry can’t accomplish
anything good, but faith in the LORD has great power, since nothing is
impossible with God!

Be specific
as you share your concern with God and trust Him to answer your prayers in the
right way at the right time.

Look for
fulfilment in the right place. Stop looking for true and lasting satisfaction
in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal pleasure or
accumulation of knowledge or material possessions. Realize that only God can
provide the fulfilment you seek. Make a strong relationship with Him your top
priority.

Prayer: Lord, I celebrate your
goodness in my life and thank You for Your mercies! Amen!

Psalm 63:1-11.

The Word Of God Is Our Light. The Bible.


Jesus

Jesus (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and
a light unto my path (Psalm 119:105).

Life is
filled with choices that can either make or mar you. At different stages of
life, you’re presented with different choices and to make such decision without
errors, you need proper guidance which only God’s Word can provide.

In John 1:9,
the Bible says the Word of God is the true Light. It’s the Sword of the Spirit
with which you pierce your way through the darkness of life. If the true Light
dwells richly in you, fear, defeat, failure, and all other results of darkness
won’t have any place in you. You won’t fear because the true Light will show
you that God has not given you the spirit of fear. You won’t be defeated
because you’ll see that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the
world. You won’t be sick because you’ll discover that by His stripes, you were
healed. The Word of God will reveal to you what God sees you to be.

It’s your
responsibility to invest the Word of God in yourself by studying it regularly.
If you can inundate your mind with it and store it in your spirit, the Word of
God will produce great results in you and you will glow with the glory of God.
You’ll have a clear direction in life and others will acknowledge that you’re
different.

Do you now
see how victoriously you can live if you keep the Word of God in your heart? If
there’s any darkness in your family, academics, or business, just take a hold
of the Light of God’s Word and pierce through the darkness in the Name of
Jesus!

CONFESSION

I’M A PRODUCT OF GOD’S ETERNAL WORD.
EVERYDAY, I DELIGHT IN IT AND AS I DO TODAY, THE GLORY OF GOD IS REVEALED IN MY
LIFE FOR OTHERS TO SEE AND FOLLOW.

Christianity Is More Than Word. It’s Miraculous.


Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

Without the
miraculous the cross of Christ would lose its impact and become another dead
religion. This would bring the cross of Christ to the realm of reason and
argument. If this were to be, then the Word of God could only be delivered by
orators. True Christianity however is in the demonstration of the Spirit and of
Power. Anything short of this is substandard. ‘

Several
years ago, I heard TL Osborn tell his great inspirational story. He was a
missionary in India with his wife. They ministered to thousands of Hindus,
Moslems and several other people who had never heard the gospel of Jesus
Christ, but they weren’t winning as many people as they had anticipated. The
more they tried the lesser the result they had. Frustrated, TL Osborn and his
wife went back to America. He decided to study the Bible like he had never done
before. While he studied, the Lord Jesus appeared to him in a vision and he had
life – transforming revelations. As marvellous as these experience were, they
weren’t enough!

One day, he
saw an advert inviting people to a healing crusade organized by another man of
God and he decided to go. When he got to the crusade he saw the man of God
perform different kinds of miracles in the Name of Jesus; the lame walked the
blind saw and the dumb spoke. As he watched all these things he heard a
thousand voices saying, “You can do that
….you can do that …….you can do that ….”
He had received the revelation of
Jesus in the book and then in a vision. Now, he got the greatest revelation of
all; the revelation of Jesus in a man. He and his wife went back to India this
time armed with a fresh revelation of Jesus the Christ. As he mounted the
platform to minister, deaf ears were unstopped, blind eyes opened, the lame
jumped and danced for joy; there were mighty demonstrations of the power of the
Spirit. Thousands of souls were also won to Christ. It’s been that way in his
ministry ever since.

We can’t
make the necessary impact in the world for Jesus without the miraculous.
Therefore, don’t take anyone who says otherwise seriously, irrespective of his
status or reputation, for he or she surely doesn’t truly believe in Jesus
Christ!

PRAYER

DEAR FATHER, I THANK
YOU FOR GIVING ME A MESSAGE THAT WORKS! THANK YOU FOR BACKING MY WORDS WITH
MIRACLES IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, AMEN!

Your prosperity is in your mouth


Crepe myrtle heart

Image by Martin LaBar via Flickr

Your mouth is
not for talking and eating only. The Bible shows us that your mouth is what
charts your course in life. You need to know that your future is in your mouth.
Your prosperity, your health, your success, victory, progress and promotion in
life are in your mouth. That’s on the positive. In the same way, on the
negative, the sickness, failure, poverty, disease, lack, frustrations and fear
that people experience in their lives are the result of what they say with
their mouth.

Nothing happens
in your life except that which you’ve voiced with your own mouth. So, whether
or not you’re going to have a glorious, prosperous, victorious and successful
future is dependent on what you say. The Bible says, “Death and life are in the
power of the tongue.” Everything that’s going to happen to you in your future
is going to be based on what you say with your mouth today.

Never talk
sickness; talk health all the time. You may be asking. “What about when I feel
the symptoms of sickness?” Yes! Symptoms are lying vanities according to the
Bible; they’re not real; only God’s Word is real and true concerning your
health. So, when you declare health instead of sickness, that’s what you’ll
have. In the same way, don’t talk poverty, talk wealth! All the money you need
in this world is in your mouth! Everything you’ll ever require to live in the
great life of glory that God has ordained for you is right in your mouth.

Therefore use
your mouth right! Speak the right words; never talk yourself down. Speak words
of prosperity, health, and life. That’s the language of the king. Every day,
when you wake up, declare who you are. You’re a success, a victor, a more than
conqueror. Learn to speak the right word – God’s Word about yourself every day.
PRAYER

Father, I thank You for
teaching me to order my tongue to speak the right things only. I realize the
power of my words therefore I choose to speak only that which is consistent
with Your Word and Will concerning my life in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

LEARN TO FORGIVE.


William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905) - The F...

Unforgiveness
will rob you of your effectiveness. It will stop your prayers from being
answered and this is one of the reasons the Lord Jesus instructed us to forgive
before we pray. Thus, to be unforgiving is to walk outside the Will of God.

Unforgiveness
will cause bitterness to spring up in your heart, which in turn will defile you
and those around you (Hebrew 12:14, 15). In such as atmosphere of bitterness
and strife there will be confusion and all manner of evil work (James 3:14-16),
which of course hinders the flow of the miraculous.

He also said
in John 15:7, “If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” If you don’t forgive those who have
wronged you, you’re not abiding in Him nor are His Words abiding in you.

Remember,
the Lord Jesus wouldn’t have said we should forgive if He thought we couldn’t
do so. You have the God given ability not only to forgive, but also to love
those that have wronged you, no matter how painful or difficult it is, because
that is the Will of God for us!

Forgive your
husband, your wife, your brother, your sister, your parents and your friend;
forgive your boss, your colleagues and others. Forgive those who have wronged
you, no matter how much it hurts. Forgive them now and let God perform a
miracle in your life!

PRAYER

Father, in accordance with Your Word,
I forgive all those who have offended me. I release them from every blame and
bitterness that I have harboured against them, and I begin now to walk in love
towards them in the Name of Jesus Christ My Lord and Saviour, Amen!

Faith makes the difference


Jesus is considered by scholars such as Weber ...

Image via Wikipedia

Some christians have asked “How do I receive answers to my prayers?” “I’ve prayed and yet nothing happed,” they’ve complained. Some, in frustration, have given up on prayer completely. If only these folks understood the faith-principle, they wouldn’t experience such frustrations.

God didn’t say if you pray hard enough He’ll answer you; rather, He says “whatever you desire when you pray, believe that you receive them and you shall have them”(Mark 11:24). That’s what faith is all about. You must understand that your requests in prayer don’t take God by surprise; He doesn’t start considering whether or not to answer you at the time you’re praying. Matthew 6:8 says “…..your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him”.

If He Already knew what you wanted before you asked, it means He already had the answer prepared. So, what is needed to make the answer real to you is your faith. That’s what makes the difference! In addition, in Luke 12:32, Jesus, assuring us of the Father‘s willingness, eagerness and readiness to answer our prayers said, “Fear not, little flock; for it your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Therefore, if you asked for somthing and didn’t get the answer when you wanted it, the problem wasn’t with God answering your prayer, perhaps you didn’t know to receive.

God already said when you ask, believe that you receive and you shall have. So, when you put up a request before God, receive what you’re asking for by declaring, “Father I’ve asked for such-and-such, therefore I receive it now in the Name of Jesus.”

Remember, you don’t say “I receive it,” so that you can have it, you receive it because you know and trust that it’s yours Now! That’s faith at work. Faith doesn’t try to get something to happen; faith knows and accepts that it has happened and therefore confess and endorses it to be so NOW!

CONFESSION

I live and walk by faith and not by sight; I’m not moved by what I see, feel or hear; I’m moved only by the Word of God! I declare that my life is going forward and upward only and nothing is impossible unto me. Hallelujah! Amen!
