Attaining Godly Heights.

DATE: September 19, 2021

TOPIC: Attaining Godly Heights.

BIBLE TEXT: II Timothy 2vs1 – Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. vs15 – study to show thyself approved of God a workman that needeth not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth.

As a child of God (a true Christian) we need to grow daily in the ways of the LORD. We need to attain Godly heights by the increase of God’s grace upon our lives. Study carefully II Timothy 2vs1 – it says “my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." This verse speaks to us all that are in Christ. To walk through the earth, you need to be strong, tough and mature. Don’t only seek promotion in your schools or offices or organizations alone but seek the grace of God available in Christ daily to receive godly promotion.

Like a well-known saying, you may be age mates or older/younger than your friend/neighbor or pastor but you are not grace mates. This implies that they’ve grown in the deposits of God’s grace at work in their lives due to their actions and walk with God. You can also attain godly heights by studying and meditating daily on the word of God and putting into every action all you’ve learnt as directed by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus the son of God taught about consistency and focus that we should let our eye (mind, desires and heart) be single. Apostle Paul, following this example as he attained Godly heights and passed down the secrets unto Timothy and the church.

Prayer: Heavenly King, I receive the grace to pursue righteousness and attain heights that you’ll take me to.

Insights: Remember, to obtain Godly heights, you must be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

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...
