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.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

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...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...
