The Sensual Man

DATE: September 14, 2021

TOPIC: The Sensual Man

BIBLE TEXT: John 20v25 – The other disciples said unto him (Thomas), we have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.


Sir Thomas a disciple of Christ walked by sight and refused faith after the death of Jesus. He heard his master/teacher Jesus preach and teach about the kingdom of heaven and his death and resurrection on the third day. But Sir Thomas didn’t keep those words in his heart. He practiced “seeing is believing.” The anchor scripture reveals how a sensual man operates, which is by the physical sense organs alone and not by faith. Eight days later after this terrible disbelief, Jesus Christ appeared right in the midst of his disciples and asked Thomas to feel his body, in order to satisfy his doubts. And Sir Thomas missed out on the blessing given to those that have not seen but have believed on his name. John 20v29

Many Christians today are like Thomas, waiting to see a miracle first before believing in the power and authority of Christ. Many like Thomas have rejected wonderful and beautiful testimonies containing marvelous, miraculous and breath taking manifestations of God. Are you living a spiritual life by your sense organs or trying to please God with them? It is impossible brethren to walk by sight with God. You have to believe his words and start acting on them. That is faith and that’s what pleases God.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, from today I receive the grace to walk in faith and not by sight.
Insight: To walk with God you must have faith and trust His every word.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
