TO BE LIKE JESUS

JUNE 5TH – CAPSULE 5

TOPIC: TO BE LIKE JESUS 

BIBLE TEXT: 2 Corinthians 5 vs 20 – So we are ambassadors for Christ,as though God were making appeal through us; we (as Christ's representatives) plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God (AMP).

Walking through conception, and delivery shows a process and when the child comes out, he/she looks like either of the parents, likewise, we as children of God having received Christ Jesus as Lord and Saviour, we’ve gone through the same process of grace to start living like Christ. It is part of our primary objective to be like Christ in lifestyle, attitude, character and behaviour. 

Out there in the world, in your country, your place of work, school or your home, whose representative are you? After your salvation and baptism of the Holy Ghost, are you still living for yourself or for the Lord? To be like Jesus we need to learn who Jesus Christ is, and how He lived on earth, His actions and behaviours. Matthew 11 vs 29 reveals how to be like Jesus – ‘Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me (following Me as My disciple), for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls’ (AMP). 

To be like Our Saviour, we must be His disciples and we must pray into our spirits His character, for us to represent Christ well, wherever we go.
Many today by the grace of God are walking and working in His love and will. They live like Christ with compassion, righteous zeal, forgiveness, temperance and more. You can also be like Jesus, it is not impossible. Apostle Paul will say this afterwards, “Be ye followers of me (as an active representative), even as I also am (spirit, soul and body) of Christ.

Insight: Being like Christ, is possible as you pick up your ambassadorial role.

Prayer: I want to be like Jesus here on earth to live for you always and to represent you everywhere.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
