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.

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...
