NOT ASHAMED

May 23rd – Capsule 23

TOPIC: NOT ASHAMED

BIBLE TEXT: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jews first and also to the Greek – Romans 1 vs 16.

Are you ashamed of Christ wherever you go? Apostle Paul addressed this issue amongst believers in Rome, that he is not ashamed to tell the Pharisee’s, the Romans, the gentiles about Jesus. Many Christians today are guilty of denial on their Christian identities. A certain righteous man was facing his wilderness period and was left with nothing and the only physical help he could get was to deny God and take shortcut into wealth, but he refused, even his wife pressured him but he ignored her foolish counsel. 

This man is Job in the Bible, who refused to deny the gospel of truth at the face of trials and temptations. As a believer today with many worldly pleasures and enticing shortcuts waiting to lure God's children out of the faith, will you yield to these enticements or will you stand for the truth in Christ as an ambassador? Many have denied Christ like Simon Peter did, when faced with the world we prefer this world's comfort than the Gospel truth.

A certain young preacher of the gospel was offered a trip to the holy land but with conditions to weaken her faith and to make her ashamed of Christ and the power thereof but she refused their offer because she understands the mystery of the wilderness experience and the risks of shortcuts. And two years later, God brought his own offer to his daughter and everything worked out gloriously. Even unto death Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, with Daniel were not ashamed.


Prayer: O Lord, my God I repent from my sins of denial and I ask for a sound mind to boldly speak about Jesus without compromise and shame.

Insight: When you are standing with God, he will stand with you and you shall not be ashamed.

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...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
