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.

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...

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 Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
