Christ-Like
1 Cor.2:16 “For, “Who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to teach him?” But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.”
I did no go to Bible college; in fact, you can all me a Bible college dropout. I did two days in Bible college and dropped out. Do not get me wrong, I do not think there is anything wrong with Bible college and I love knowledge. Read the rest of this entry
Help From Above
Gen.49:25 “May the God of your father help you; may the Almighty bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, and blessings of the watery depths below, and blessings of the breasts and womb.”
It is one thing to do something and people can say she is intelligent, thus leaving no room for the supernatural. However, it is another thing to do something and it is evident of the supernatural inspite of your intelligence. Read the rest of this entry
Surprise
1 Cor.1:27 “Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful.”
God uses the people or the things that are weak to confound the wise. The question to you today is, are you willing to be a child in the hands of God, are you willing to be the weak vessel God use will to confound the world? Read the rest of this entry
Never Empty
2 Kings 4:3 “…Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and neighbors. 4 Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars…” 7 “…sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what is left over.”
Life is not a straight line, things happen to us. We get battered and we lose stuff. But the mistake most people make is to lose hope because of the things they have lost. Read the rest of this entry
Unlikely Rescue
Isa.46:3 “Listen to me, …I have cared for you since you were born. Yes, I carried you before you were born. 4 I will be your God throughout your lifetime— until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.”
As adults, one of the things we learn with responsibility is, we like to own the outcome of the events in our lives. But there are certain times that you just need to do your best and leave the burden of outcomes to Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
The Gift
Luke 2:10 “but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David!”
Jesus is saying to us this morning, if you want to give Me a gift, find someone that cannot pay you back and give the person a gift. Visit the hospitals and go to the prisons, let that be your birthday gift to Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
The Response
Prov.8:19 “My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold, my wages better than sterling silver!”
You really cannot be appreciative of any gift until you unwrap it. You cannot really say, thank you, until you see the content of the gift. Josh came back home early from work to surprise his wife on her birthday. Read the rest of this entry
Look Inside
Matt.2:10 “When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house and saw the child with his mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh” [with emphasis].
These men were rather wealthy and well advanced in age but as soon as they saw Jesus, they bowed and worshipped Him. The question to you as we celebrate Christmas is, what is keeping you from bowing to Jesus? Read the rest of this entry
Posture
Ps.95:6 “Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker”
Unfortunately, some people are still arguing if Christians should celebrate Christmas. People are still saying perhaps it has an occultic background or that the early church did not celebrate Christmas. Read the rest of this entry
True Worth
Matt.7:11 [MSG] “You’re at least decent to your own children. So don’t you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?”
Children typically do not question the parent’s direction, they just follow. Even when they ask questions, it is just for asking sake. We must be like these little children with God. Read the rest of this entry
