DISCIPLES OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD

May 16th – Capsule 16

TOPIC: DISCIPLES OUT OF THE WILL OF GOD

BIBLE TEXT: From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with Him – John 6 vs 66.

When you show loyalty, is it with all your heart? A true born again Christian follows with everything and not one-leg in and the other out in pleasure and carnality. The disciples of Christ were many at first but only His chosen 12 were willing to submit their lives to Christ sincerely. Many bear the title “Christian” and are proud of it, but are not willing to walk as disciples of Christ sold out to God's will. The pleasures of this world has corrupted many brethren and disciples of Christ who become lustful, then fall into sin and are now spiritually dead in faith.

The above scripture reveals that the gospel truth was hard for them to accept, so they left Jesus Christ. John 14 vs 17 – even the Sprirt of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him”. Many Christians want their will over that of Christ, so they need to be pleased, pampered and satisfied or they get offended at the sermon, the Master, the Minister and just like the disciples mentioned in John 6 vs 66, they willingly walk out of righteousness.

Jesus will let you go when you are offended with the truth and when you hate the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Truth), then your actions demonstrates that you hate God the Father. Just as Christ didn’t force those disciples to return so he won’t force those who reject the ways of truth and discipleship. The judgement awaiting them is going to be very terrible, for ‘Tyre and Sidon will even receive less torment – Luke 10 vs 14.


Prayer: Father, I have derailed out of your way of righteousness, please forgive me, let me know the truth and walk as a disciple of Christ.

Insight: Return back to Jesus Christ quickly while you still have breath in you and ask for mercy as you submit your will to the Lord.

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...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...
