WHO ARE YOU?

AUGUST 27th - CAPSULE 27

TOPIC: WHO ARE YOU?

BIBLE TEXT: Acts 19 vs. 15 – One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know and I know Paul, but who are you?


Who are you? It is a question that many people shy away from answering. People get angry and feel reluctant to answer quickly; not that they do not know what to say, but how to say it. Knowing who you are is very important and crucial because it helps your survival in this cruel world. 

The sons of Sceva were trying to imitate other personalities to cast out demons. The demons told them – “Jesus I know, Paul I know but who are you?” People ask you every day at various gates - who are you? As you stand before the various gates, these gates are only opened when you properly identify yourself so also, when you stand at the gate of prosperity, successes, breakthroughs, etc. The spirits manning these gates are asking “who are you?” If you fail to identify properly, you will be turned back. That is why many people get close to success but never made it. 

The only person that can add value to your life is Jesus. If Jesus lives in you, He becomes your identity. If you have Jesus, you have the authority to answer spirits, when they ask questions “who are you?”

Receive Jesus and you will be known physically and spiritually. As a Christian, is the identity of Jesus truly in you ? Or you are like the Sceva’s sons who are very empty impersonators.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, be in me and I in you that I may be known in Jesus name.

Insight: Make Jesus your identity.

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 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...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
