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

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
