CAN YOU RECEIVE FROM OTHERS?

May 4th – Capsule 4

TOPIC: CAN YOU RECEIVE FROM OTHERS?

BIBLE TEXT: I assure you: the one who receives whoever I send, receives me - John 13 vs. 20.

You would be surprised at how many people live beyond help, because they have an image to uphold. It’s a dangerous place to be. When trials come, not only must you be open to the Lord, but also whoever He sends. 

Listen: “And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; …………… and the angels ministered unto him” (Mark 1 vs. 13). Even Jesus needed ministry.

He created the angels, yet HE permitted them to minister to Him. The greater was willing to receive help than the lesser. What a lesson for you! When your pain level get high enough, you won’t care who God uses. If you were in a burning house you wouldn’t care who the firemen were. Their education, denomination, and ethnic background, would mean nothing to you, because of the urgency of your need.

Perhaps your problem is that you need someone but you don’t trust anyone. Start trusting God! Whom do you think brought you this far? Listen: “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed; says the Lord, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54 vs. 10). 
When God extends His love and compassion to you, don’t be too proud to accept it.

Prayer: Lord help me to follow your word and do accordingly at all time, make me humble enough to receive from those whom you send my way.

Insight: When you accept it, you accept Him.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

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...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
