ROAD TO ETERNAL LIFE

JUNE 28TH – CAPSULE 28 

TOPIC: CRITERIA FOR TRUE FOLLOWERSHIP (ROAD TO ETERNAL LIFE) 

BIBLE TEXT: MARK 10 VS 19-21 – Thou knowest the commandments, do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honour thy father and  mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, “one thing thou lackest; go thy way sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and come, take up the cross and follow me.


Jesus Christ laid down this criteria himself as he replied a great question many believers have asked, still asking and will ask in the future. Christ Jesus pointed out the fact that the ten commandments God gave Moses are principles a true follower must accept and live by. These commandments are for those on the road to eternal life which Christ gives. Which states clearly, that you must not commit adultery (fornication and lustful sins), you must not kill (commit murder), either by action or words), you must not steal, you must not bear false witness (let your conversation and testimony be the truth), you must not defraud anyone. And you must give due honour to your father and mother (or anyone who plays such role in your life). 

Again Jesus taught of letting go of the old foundation for a new one with a new beginning (a fresh start) with Him as your rock. Many christians today are still holding on to the glory of their old foundations, where as everything should be in Christ. “Sell and give to the poor” is a commission every follower must abide by. Be ready at all times to help the poor, so you can access the treasures in Heaven. And the final principle is to take up the cross (the portion of Christ’s will for your life and destiny) here on earth and follow Jesus Christ everyday for ever.


Prayer: Help me Father, I want to follow Jesus Christ, I surrender all today.

Insight: Access your life brethren, are you a true follower of Christ, having known these words?

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...

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...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
