Asking or Answering?
“Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” Matt.18:21
The question on forgiveness. It is pivotal that Jesus answered the question on forgiveness. Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” Have you met people that ask a question and offer the answer? Peter said seven times? In other words, “Jesus, don’t go past seven please”. Then Read the rest of this entry
The Kingdom
“About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Matt.18:1
I was in a session where Dr. Mensah Otabil said, “where two or three are gathered, there would be power struggle”. Even in a house, amongst those in the house, there is power struggle. There ought not to be; but there is. Jesus, in answering the question on greatness says that in the Kingdom, to go up you have to come down. The greatest in the Read the rest of this entry
He Questions
“Herod was delighted at the opportunity to see Jesus… and had been hoping for a long time to see him perform a miracle. He asked Jesus question after question, but Jesus refused to answer” Luke 23:8-9.
For some of us, the questions are not coming from us but rather the questions are directed at us. People are asking us very daft questions. Is it because you didn’t pray enough that you didn’t get the job? – daft question. Was it because you didn’t fast enough that you didn’t get the promotion? – daft question. Is it because your parents have done some terrible things Read the rest of this entry
He Answers
“It was not because of his sins or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” John 9:3.
Jesus is The Answer and as The Answer, He was asked a whole lot of questions. I did a little bit of research and I discovered that Jesus was asked about a hundred and ten documented questions. That’s a lot in three years. Thirty-seven out of the one hundred and ten questions were asked by Jesus Himself. Jesus would ask a question and He would answer it Himself. Read the rest of this entry
The Answer
“Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal live” John 4:13-14.
Jesus is not a part of the answer like some people would like us to believe. They say, well we really cannot write the history of man without talking about Jesus. He existed before you but He is just one of the scholars. He influenced modern civilization; He is part of the answer. No! Jesus is not just part of the answer, Jesus is the answer. Jesus does not only have the Read the rest of this entry
The End
“Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” Rev.22:12-13
He is Jesus; He is going to be there at the end of time, believe it or not. Of course you know that every human life has an ending. If Jesus tarries, we’re going to die, no matter how anointed we are. In fact, you may be so anointed that your bones may be raising the dead but you will still die. That should be very humbling for any human being. Everybody is going to Read the rest of this entry
Right Now II
‘God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea.’ Ps.46:1-2
There is a second side to our story from yesterday. The witch’s side; after confessing that she wants Jesus, the young evangelist allowed her to share her testimony. And she said that when the man smiled, confusion hit them in their kingdom. Just a smile and they were all confused. As if that was not enough, he turned his back and slept off. Who did that? Was it him? It was Read the rest of this entry
Right Now I
‘God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea’ Ps.46:1-2 [KJV]
I don’t know the phase of life you are in right now. I don’t know what struggles you are going through or dealing with. But I am here to tell you that God is your very present help. Present means now. You may have bills to pay, or perhaps your rent is due, maybe you have accommodation issues, or even a career issue, perhaps you have a health challenge, or you Read the rest of this entry
Who Is…
“Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names” Phil.2:9
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in the heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Phil.2:10-11. Back in the day, Sunday was evangelism time for my wife and I; this was even before we became Pastors. After church, we would visit our friends that don’t know Read the rest of this entry
Do You Really Know Him?
“One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple” Ps.27:4 [KJV].
Jesus is Alpha! Jesus was there before you were born, before your parents decided to have a baby. Even when they said you were a mistake and they wanted to flush you out, Jesus made sure that you were not aborted. I know of a child that the parents attempted to abort several times but they did not succeed. And today, that child is the most powerful among their children and the parents are glad that they didn’t abort the child. Read the rest of this entry
