THE OFFERING OF A REMORSEFUL SINNER

May 18th  - Capsule 18

TOPIC: THE OFFERING OF A REMORSEFUL SINNER

BIBLE TEXT: “And behold a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment – Luke 7 vs 37.

The ministry of Christ Jesus is a one of reconciliation and love to all sinners and saints. This particular sinful woman was well known through out the city for she had many friends in pleasure and sin. Right there in the city, salvation came to town and the Word through evangelism got to her palace and she prepared herself to meet this Jesus Christ who is called the Son of God, to surrender the most valuable thing she ever had and what led her into sin. 

She chased money and wealth and got it, but had no peace and salvation. So she took an alabaster box of expensive oil and her body as a living sacrifice unto the Lord Jesus and He accepted her into God's kingdom and within a twinkle of an eye, all her sins, mistakes and past lifestyle were forgiven because she had faith in God to offer herself. 

Before, she offered men herself (her body) and they misused her life, but now  Christ fixed all, and healed her completely. She stood at Christ's feet and washed his feet (and cried when she encountered the Word of God because of the truth) and used her hair to wipe his feet and kissed the feet as a sign of love, respect and remorse.

Many called her a sinner but did nothing than remind her of the state of sin, but Jesus turned her life around. He’s ready to listen to your sinful stories to give you a new beginning – 2 Corinthians 5 vs 17


Prayer: Lord I repent from all my sinful ways, please cleanse me and forgive all my sinful ways in Jesus name.

Insight: Run to Jesus Christ, He will never reject nor condemn you.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
