God Sustains the Universe

Theme for the Week: HUMANKIND'S REJECTION OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

Reading: Hebrews 1:1-3
--------------------------------------

Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)
3. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

At every point in time, God reveals Himself in different way. He wants to have fellowship with us always, and so He wants us to know Him better.

This is why He revealed Himself to us through Jesus Christ, and now the Holy Spirit. He alone has power to sustain the universe, because He made it. Politicians will say their part; so would the astrologers, the economists and like, but to no avail.

Dear friend, God wants us to know that He alone has the blueprint of the universe. We should not forget that no matter the difficulties our universe may seem to face, God is ever ready to sustain that for us. Let us hand over our universe to Him for He is the sustainer of all the universe.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we adore You. O Lord, sustain the universe in which You have placed us in Jesus' name. Amen.

Do Not Be Ashamed of The Gospel

Theme for the Week: NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Mark 8:34-38

Mark 8:38 (KJV)
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

In today's passage, Jesus Christ gives us two alternatives to choose from. We can be bold to acknowledge now in this life and be acknowledged by Him in eternity; or ashamed to acknowledge Him and He shall also be ashamed to mention us in His Father's glory before the angels.

It is good that you accumulate wealth, but it is best to accumulate wealth in Jesus Christ. Since you will not be ashamed of letting others know your wealth, why are you ashamed to proclaim the gospel of Jesus?

Dear brethren, do not let the pleasure of enjoying what you accumulate here makes you lose focus on eternity. Just us we can talk of our wealth before others, let us also talk of the Gospel of Jesus.
Hallelujah!

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You. Lord, may we be bold to proclaim the gospel wherever You place us, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Monsiesie Mo Ho Mma Adansedie

Discipleship: Set Apart For The Gospel

Theme for the Week: *THE TRANSFORMED PERSON APPRECIATES OTHERS*

Reading: Romans 1:1-7

Romans 1:1 (NIV)
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God

Whose servant are you? Are you one that is of the devil or of Christ? Do you know that your master determines what you will be set apart for?

Apostle Paul was a servant of no other person than Jesus Christ, and he was set apart for the gospel of God. To be set apart is to be separated for a specific purpose.

Beloved, as people bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ, we have been sanctified and set apart for the gospel of God. It is a charge we must keep, so let us rise up and make ourselves ready for the task entrusted in our hands.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You. O LORD God, set up apart for Your gospel, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Save Your Enemy

Theme for the Week: OVERCOMING EVIL WITH GOOD

Reading: Exodus 23:4-5

Exodus 23:5 (NIV)
If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it.

It is very obvious what many would do seeing their enemy in pain. Although they might be able to help ease the pain of their enemy, they will not do so, but rejoice that their enemy has gotten what they deserve.

This should not be so with the believer and follower of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even in the times of revenge, where an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth was the order of justice, God gave a law to be kind to enemies. Yes, it is true that some enemies you help might in turn cause you greater harm, we should not stand on that to refrain our help while we possibly can.

While we were yet sinners and enemies of God, He showed us love (Rom. 5:8). As children of the Father who shows love to even His enemies, we must emulate Him and save our enemies in any way possible.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, be praised. LORD God, fill us with love for our enemies Christ Jesus. Amen.

Please, share to bless others also.

Do Not Deny God By Your Actions

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON ACCOMMODATES THE WEAK

Reading: Titus 1:12-16

Titus 1:16 (NIV)

They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

The way a person thinks and acts is affected by whatever they choose to fill their minds with. A weak mind is unstable, so it is difficult for it to see the good in everything.

It is easier for the weak mind to proclaim God with their lips and deny Him with their actions

Soundness in the faith is essential. It drives away all thoughts that makes us weak in the faith and align us with God and His Word.

Otherwise, we may say we are of God, but deny Him in what we do. Let us put away darkness and embrace the light we have in Christ that our minds will be sound and pure to reflect the nature of God in this evil world. It all starts with renewing the mind.

Shalom.

Let's Pray

Almighty God, I thank You for making pure in Christ. Father, may Your Spirit empower me to stay pure even in my actions, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
