CONTENTMENT

JUNE 1ST – CAPSULE 1

TOPIC: CONTENTMENT

BIBLE TEXT: PHILLIPIANS 4 VS 11 (AMP) – Not that I speak from (any personal) need, for I have learned to be content (and self – sufficient) through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy regardless of my circumstances.

When you read through this verse thoroughly you’ll find the truth and it states that, through Christ Jesus I am satisfied no matter what situation and circumstances I find myself. Apostle Paul learned to be content in whatever state or condition he found himself and not to murmur or complain. Instead he enjoyed what he had, be it small or big, he valued the blessings of God.

To enjoy the blessings of God, you must first appreciated the love of God. As chiildren of God, we must be confident in the promises of our Heavenly Father. Thanksgiving is a way of enjoying the blessings you’ve got. Don’t be ungrateful because it only leads to unhappiness and discontentment. God's servant, Pastor Mrs Blessing Oluwadare Julius is an example amongst many in the world today, in the order of Christ Jesus and the Apostles. She shows contentment in every state you’ll ever find her, because of the love of God. Faced with various circumstances and enticements of diverse offers, she has remained where Christ has directed her to be, whether small or big the provisions coming are. She remains satisfied with contentment.

With these glorious examples, let us learn to thank God for what we have and contentment will come, don’t depreciate your income or the blessings you have received, rejoice in them always and the Lord will be pleased.

Prayer: Lord, I receive satisfaction in Christ Jesus and I live to enjoy all I have received.

Insight: Learn to give thanks in whatever state you find yourself.

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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
