The Comforter II
‘But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me’ John 15:26
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Christ. No wonder the Bible says, ‘Christ in you the hope of glory’. The Holy Spirit is not different from Jesus Christ. Jesus says ‘I and the Father are one’. He says ‘I am going but I am leaving another Comforter, I am not going to leave you like orphans. I am going to come and stay with you’. So who is the Comforter? Jesus. Which means that everything Jesus was to the disciples when He walked with them side by side, the Holy Spirit is to us today. Read the rest of this entry
The Comforter I
‘And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you’ John 14:16
For the next few days we are going to be learning about the person of the Holy Spirit. Many times, people refer to the Holy Spirit as ‘something’ or refer to the Holy Spirit as ‘it’. The Holy Spirit is a real person. ‘But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me’ John 15:26. Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as ‘The Comforter’. It is amazing that Jesus is saying I am going and I am sending ‘the’ Comforter. Note Jesus did Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know VI
‘When they heard the loud noise, everyone came running, and they were bewildered to hear their own languages being spoken by the believers’ Acts 2:6
You need to know that God intrudes. God does not always mind His business. Thank God He does not always mind his business. For the people in the scripture reference, it seemed as though God had just intruded in their lives. God intrudes with ‘Attention Getters’. Attention getters usually shake the person to their very foundation. Many of us have loved ones who have refused to serve God. Perhaps it’s time to ask God to intrude in their lives and send attention getters. It is a Read the rest of this entry
You Need To Know I
‘They were completely amazed. “How can this be?” they exclaimed. “These people are all from Galilee’ Acts.2:7
God also blesses those that don’t agree with us. The fact that God is doing awesome things in your life, and you do not agree with your brother does not mean God will stop doing great things in his life. God will bless the people you disagree with inspite of the fact that you disagree with them. You may be one of those who think that this is totally unfair. Some people think that Read the rest of this entry
Safety
‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me’ Ps.23:4
‘Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me’. Safety is not the absence of danger. Safety is in the presence of God. People are very quick to think that safety is the absence of danger. And if they were to rewrite Psalm 23:4, it would look something like this – ‘I will fear no evil if I walk through a path that is without the shadow of Read the rest of this entry
Just As Jesus
‘Suddenly there was a great earthquake! For an angel of the Lord came down… rolled aside the stone, and sat on it. The guards shook with fear… and they fell into a dead faint’ Matt. 28:2 & 4.
‘The next day, on the Sabbath, the leading priests and Pharisees went to see Pilate. They told him, “Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: ‘After three days I will rise from the dead.’ So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he was raised from the Read the rest of this entry
Unboxed
‘He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying’ Matt.28:6
God does the most unusual things. You find that when it comes to situations where you seem to have things all figured out. And you have God in a box of possibilities; He simply refuses to be in that box. God simply refuses to solve the situation the way you have it figured or planned out. You find that things happen in irrational ways. The things you ordinarily would do and get results Read the rest of this entry
You Matter To Your Church Family
‘Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it’ 1Cor.12:14&18.
‘The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ’ 1Cor.12:12. The Church is a body. There is a part you have to play. A role that God has carved out for you. That part of the puzzle specially designed for your piece to plug into. If you refuse to plug in, the puzzle remains incomplete. The more we can get people to plug into the purposes of God, the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies II
‘So that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes’ 2 Cor.2:11
Another lie the enemy will throw your way is that you do not have enough money to make a difference. God has designed you to make a difference for Christ Jesus in your area of influence. Yet the enemy is lying to you that you do not have enough money to make a difference. And because of this lie, you have opted out of all the financial support campaigns in Church. You can make a difference even right now. You do not have to wait until you are a millionaire. Many times we think that we are at the bottom of the Read the rest of this entry
Debunking Lies I
‘But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners’ Rom.5:8
On the path to discovering your importance in God’s plan, the enemy will tell you a lot of lies. All the lies are aimed at convincing You that You do not matter to God. Anyone who has walked with God long enough knows that the devil is a lair. If you do not know anything about the devil, know that he is a lair. If he tells you that you will fail, it is a lie, because you will succeed. In fact, Jesus says that when he is Read the rest of this entry
