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?

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
