THE FAVOUR OF GOD

JULY 30TH – CAPSULE 30

TOPIC: THE FAVOUR OF GOD

BIBLE TEXT: 
GENESIS 26VS24 – The LORD appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father; do not be afraid for I am with you. I will bless you and favour you, and multiply your descendants, for my servant Abraham”.


The favour of God is a blessing that speaks volumes when released upon an individual. Father Abraham was blessed by God’s favour and all his children by blood and faith are partakers of this glorious blessing. God’s love releases favour on those with a submissive and meek hearts. 

Isaac was blessed by God with favour and the whole land had no choice but to bless him because a spiritual magnet was placed upon him. Everyone around him knew this because the glory of God was upon him.

Luke 2vs52 – the way Christ choose to live brought about the favour of God upon him. “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and in favour with God and man”. Notice his increase came from God first before men yielded to him willingly. If you lack the favour of God, you will never obtain true favour here on earth. 

When God is your source of favour, you'll stay relevant and have peace. But when you seek favour from men first you'll end up frustrated and disappointed in their promises and words but God never fails.


Prayer: Lord, I need your favour in my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Insight: God’s favour sets you apart and distinguishes you amongst men.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
