ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST?

May 12th – Capsule 12

TOPIC: ARE YOU A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST?

BIBLE TEXT: Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ – 1 Corinthians 11 vs. 1

Who is a follower of Christ? The bible reveals several men and women that followed Jesus Christ with glorious testimonies. Before you can also say “I am a follower of Christ”, the gospel and the Spirit of truth must be dwelling in you. Jesus Christ the Son of God showed us the way by teaching and doing the will of the Father right here on earth. 

As a true follower of Christ Jesus, you must die to self-will and live in God’s will. When you receive Jesus and still hold on to your will, you will fall out of the plans of God for your life. Many Christians today are saved, spirit filled but out of the will of God, they have been separated from the purpose of their existence. God didn’t create man to be a waste but a channel of His true love without conditions to the world. Your life can touch a nation.

A true follower of Christ hates sin, and the ways of the flesh. To walk and work with Christ you must submit your will to the person of the Holy Spirit as the scripture says; “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple (sacred ground) of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own? – 1 Corinthians 6 vs. 19.


Prayer: I surrender my Spirit, soul and body and my will to the Lord, to the Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

Insight: The Life of Christ is the lifestyle of a follower of Christ.

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
