GET UP AND FIGHT

JUNE 12TH – CAPSULE 12

TOPIC: GET UP AND FIGHT 

BIBLE TEXT: 1 TIM. 6 VS 12 – Fight the good of faith (in the conflict with evil; take hold of the eternal life which you were called, and (for which) you made the good confession (of faith) in the presence of many witnesses. [AMP] 

Get up and do what’s right (what is righteous), ensure that your battles are against the evil forces fighting your faith and not quarrels and dispute because of things of this world. Many today fight over properties, other people’s wives (widows) and more whereas the battle for righteous living is ignored and forgotten amongst men.

Jesus addressed these unnecessary things that confuses the children of God and how to avoid covetousness the spirit behind wrong cravings and fightings. Luke 12 vs 13 -14 – And one of the company said unto him, master speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And He said to them, men who made me a judge or a divider over you? When you  fight over wrong battles Christ pays no attention to you. 

Many are lazy today at the place of prayer and fellowship with God, because of the misdirections in our hearts and lustful purposes. God wants us to fight the good fight – notice the word "good", which means what’s relevant and in the will of God. Apostle Paul fought a good fight of faith, over perils, thieves, darkness, the Jews, gentiles and much more and God gave him victory on all sides. 


Prayer: Father, help me fight the good fight of faith in Jesus name.

Insight: The good fight of faith brings out your reward.

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

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...
