Indestructible Word
“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see… Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together” Col.1:16-17
Yesterday, we established the fact that the material a substance is made up of determines its strength and reliability. “But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man” John2:24-25. Jesus knew what they were made up of. Read the rest of this entry
Everything
“So you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power” Col.2:10 [TLB, emphasis added].
Jesus is enough for our companionship. God speaks many times but we are actually too busy to hear and listen to Him. He speaks through His Word and He speaks to us directly. God wants to have conversations with us. You don’t need to stay up late just to make free midnight calls talking to strange people at very strange hours Read the rest of this entry
Don’t Be Deceived I
“For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body” Col.2:9
The lack of sufficiency in Christ can be made up of four things: Rationalism, Legalism, Mysticism, or asceticism. Rationalism simply means human wisdom – explain it. Like the blind man, you can’t explain the blessings of God; it comes because the Bible says that For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. You can’t explain God, you can’t explain Read the rest of this entry
How Will You Respond?
“One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” John 5:5-6
The pool of Siloam was God’s answer to healing for a lot of the people at the time. When it gets stirred, the first person that gets in gets healed regardless of the disease. This man had been there for thirty-eight years waiting for his turn – his own answer. But each time the pool was stirred, before he could get in, somebody always got in before him. Jesus was Read the rest of this entry
What Do You Know?
“Then, surrounded by the Pharisees, Jesus asked them a question: “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They replied, “He is the Son of David” Matt.22:41-42.
Then The Answer [Jesus] introduces a twist to the questions flying back and forth. Jesus, The Answer, asks a question. When Jesus asks you a question it is definitely not to gain insight because He already knows the answer. When The Answer asks you a question it’s one of two things; it’s either He wants to shut you up or He wants to help you. In the above quoted Read the rest of this entry
Ask
“Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. And I tell you this, whoever divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery—unless his wife has been unfaithful.” Matt.19:8-9
Today we will be dealing with the follow up question to the question on marriage. “Jesus’ disciples then said to him, “If this is the case, it is better not to marry! “Not everyone can accept this statement,” Jesus said. “Only those whom God helps” Matt.19:10-11. Until you see that it is better not to marry, you are not fit to marry. What I mean is this; until you see Read the rest of this entry
Address The Source
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’” Matt.19:4
Don’t you just like David? David shows up on the scene, sees goliath, and asks what are they going to give to the person who takes down this giant? [Please read 1 Sam.17] David was negotiating his reward before he took on the battle. People may say how can he be so selfish? Is he not an Israelite? Can’t he do it for patriotism? David says, ‘No, I see things differently. Read the rest of this entry
You Will Be Rewarded!
“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” John 8:4-5
What a question! The question on adultery; Please read John 8:1-11. How can it only be the woman that was caught? Can a woman commit adultery by herself? So where is the man? “They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger” John 8:6. Jesus was probably infuriated Read the rest of this entry
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
