HE MUST INCREASE

JUNE 25TH – CAPSULE 25 

TOPIC: HE MUST INCREASE 

BIBLE TEXT: JOHN 3 VS 30 – He must increase but I must decrease.


John the Baptist channeled those words out of a life of submission to the will of God. And this light, all believers must walk by also to receive more of Christ in us. Many out there today are corrupted with a spiritual virus called “self” where all a man thinks of is him or herself always. Such individuals are presented as self righteous and can’t receive more from the Lord because he already “knows it all” and many are full of “themselves” and not Christ or His word.

The testimony of John the Baptist during his ministry days, speaks not of himself but of He who cometh from the Lord, one who is greater than him and whose sandals spiritually and physically, he is unworthy to tie or untie. This brings so much craving in the hearts of the hearers to readily hunger for a sight and a moment with this Christ that John spoke of in messages and sermons.

 As a child of God or a minister of His word out there, do you advertise yourself or teach the gospel of Christ? For Christ must “increase” – this is a great word, Jesus must increase in our homes with less of I did it, and more of Christ, in marriages, in schools, in firms and organizations and in churches today. Let the people know Jesus Christ than the details of yourself. 


Prayer: Our Father in heaven, take more of me and let me have more of Christ Jesus in me.

Insight: For Christ to increase, you must be submissive and willing to talk to Jesus 24/7.

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...
