LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS

AUGUST 30th - CAPSULE 30

TOPIC: LOOK FOR THE BEST IN OTHERS

BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 10 vs. 10 – Be careful not to stir up discontent.

Have you ever been around someone who loved to stir things up? It may seem harmless to us, but God has a different view of it. Twenty three thousand of His people died in one day because they murmured against Moses, the manna, the direction God was leading them, and all sorts of things. Never had a people been more protected, privileged or prosperous, but you could not tell it by what they were saying. These murmurs never made it into the promise land. Murmurers never do!

Do you know which church was speaking to when he wrote, “I have confidence in you” – the Corinthians. Amazing! Some of them got drunk at communion, tolerated fornication, doubted the resurrection; and these were only few of their problems. One man said; I read the Book of Corinthians just to get encouraged. I know at least am not doing that badly. But along comes Paul and says, “I have confidence in you. You are full of faith. You come behind in no gift”. He focuses on the positive; he builds on their strengths. A mature Christian always focuses on the strengths and good things in others.

So today, look for the best in others. Listen: You’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on . . . . . . The best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse” (Philippians 4 vs. 8).

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to see the good in others. Let me not think highly of myself to become blind not to see the best in other people.

Insight: When you look for the good in others – you will find it.

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...

No Weakness In Heaven

Date 📅 14th October, 2022 Topic No Weakness In Heaven Living Scripture Matthew 5:48 KJV Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Heaven is a place to dream about, a place where our Heavenly Father dwells. It is not the skies we see or the galaxy of wide space we watch on the satellite and internet. The Bible records that Heaven is God's throne, a place where there are innumerable hosts of angels serving the LORD. There's no weakness in God's presence, for His glory and power radiates through the whole existence. Every biblical angel as described are very powerful and well coordinated. So is everyone born of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ came from Heaven and taught us what Heaven is like. And all the illustrations given in the four gospel of Christ were full of maturity and perfection. God wants us to be like Him that's why we are made in His image and glory though resident here on earth but of the commonwealth of Heaven. Wit...

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...
