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...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
