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...

Sinner to Saint

Date 📅 20th October, 2022 Topic Sinner to Saint Living Scripture Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The journey of our convertion and transfiguration started when we decided to let go of our self and old ways and tune into the will of God by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the business of turning sinners to saints. Because of the fall of man from the beginning it was written that all mankind have sinned and come short of the supply of God's mighty glory. Which is why Christ Jesus died that we might be heirs and like heirs with Him in the kingdom of God. Without Jesus no one can be saved, all men without the knowledge and salvation of Christ are sinners. No man was born a saint, we are washed from stains, sins and disobedience into saints (children of God). The Bible is not full of men born as saints but rather men and women washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and by the Word of God. Father Abrah...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
