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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
