THEN JESUS COMES

AUGUST 22nd - CAPSULE 22

TOPIC: THEN JESUS COMES

BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 8 VS 35 (Paraphrase) – And they went and found the man sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind.


The man in the tombs was bound by evil spirits, filled with fear and separated from his family. Society said; he was hopeless. That’s when Jesus loves to step in! When human wisdom says, “It can’t be done” Jesus comes! Look at this man now after Jesus stepped into his life, “he’s clothed and in his right mind”

But the locals couldn’t handle him, so they asked Jesus to go back to where He came from. The world hasn’t changed much. When you meet, and they see you clothed and in your right mind, they won’t know what to do with you either. Have they noticed the difference yet? If none of your old friends are shaken up, then you are not doing something right. Listen’ “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Corinthians 5 vs. 17).

This man wanted to join Jesus and His disciples, but Jesus said no. most of us are not called to full-time Ministry, but we have all been called to do one thing: “return to thy own house, and show how great thing God hath done unto thee” (Luke 8 vs. 39). The first place you need to start today is among the people you love and live with. Tell them how great Jesus is. Tell them what HE’s done for you. Tell them what HE can do for them.


Prayer: Lord use me to propagate the Gospel.

Insight: Don’t pull off until tomorrow – Do it today!

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...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – 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 there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
