It Is Finished
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1Cor.2:7-8 [emphasis added]
Let the party begin. I can imagine the party in hell. The jubilating, the victory stories, the dancing, and the drinking, and imagine them patting each other on the back. The party lasted day one, day two and on the third day they heard the deafening sound of footsteps coming towards them. Who can that be? Everyone was complete. So who is coming? And the order came, “go and check!” A demon ran and came back with this report; “you would not believe it Read the rest of this entry
Saved To Serve
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” Phil.2:3 [ASV, emphasis added].
We are saved to serve. Perry Nobel says, “Saved people serve people”. I attribute this statement to him because I have heard him say it the most. If you are saved, you are saved to serve. “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves” Phil.2:3 [ASV]. I trust that you are fired up to serve and the only question on your mind now is how Read the rest of this entry
Salvation vs. Success
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” Josh.1:8 [emphasis added].
Salvation has nothing to do with new behavior but everything to do with new creation. Success on the other hand has everything to do with new behavior. Salvation has nothing to do with new behavior. One cannot say; if I read my Bible more then I will be saved. Wrong! Or if I meditate more then I will be saved. Wrong again! There is nothing like a ten things to do list to get saved. There is nothing you Read the rest of this entry
Impregnable!
“And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it…” Lev.6:12 [emphasis added].
Functioning in your priesthood makes your life impregnable to the enemy. Every time they try, they will fail, in Jesus Name. Some time ago, I was not a Pastor yet but I was a believer at the time and in relationship with God. I was running rampant for Jesus. My business was anywhere I see trouble, that’s where I want to be in. Anywhere somebody had a demon-possessed issue, my response was, Read the rest of this entry
Companionship
“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3” (NKJV)
As your Pastor, I can pray that God will give you a miracle and when that happens, it is a good gift. But that is not the best gift I can give to you. The best gift I can give to you is to ensure that your connection with God is intact; that you have a clear-cut intact connection with God. The best thing that can happen to you is for Read the rest of this entry
Hot Or Cold?
“I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!” Rev.3:15-16 [emphasis added]
The problem with a lot of believers is indifference. God’s Word is clear on the direction, God’s mind on every subject is clear but some believers are just indifferent. Jesus says, “You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see. I correct and discipline everyone I love. So be diligent and turn from your indifference” Rev.3:17-19 [emphasis added]. Read the rest of this entry
Where Is He?
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends” Rev.3:20.
#4. Jesus is waiting to fellowship with you and I. “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and sup with him, and he with me” Rev.3:20 [KJV]. This passage is very popular with evangelistic crusades and people give their lives to Jesus. That’s fantastic! However, with scripture, there are many levels of interpretation but primarily, Read the rest of this entry
Action Time
“Then at last the Lord said to me, ‘You have been wandering around this hill country long enough; turn to the north’” Deut.2:2-3.
“One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” Luke 17:15. Many times, we take these things for granted because Jesus will not demand gratitude from us. Did Jesus go after the other nine lepers? No! Did He withdraw their healing because they did not show gratitude? No! He is bigger than all that. But was He happy that one at least came back? Yes he was! When we have special services, I have no doubt that God heals a lot of people, a lot of people are Read the rest of this entry
Unquestionable!
“God paid a high price for you, so don’t be enslaved by the world” 1 Cor.7:23
I heard this story long ago and every time I have the privilege to, especially at Easter, I share it. I never get tired to telling this story and you shouldn’t either. In fact, every day should be Easter to us as believers because Jesus is alive.
Jesus was crucified, hung on a cross – they killed Him! They bound His body and buried him. Read the rest of this entry
Ten Over Ten
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” John 10:10
A marriage, as good as marriage is, cannot give you life. Popularity cannot give you life. A boat cannot give you life. A car, even the most expensive of cars, cannot give you life. Somebody walking down the road with his ‘leg-gedis-benz’ sees another person drive off in his Mercedes Benz and says, that is ‘the life’. The truth is, as nice as the Mercedes Benz might be, it cannot give Read the rest of this entry
