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...

THE EASY WAY

Date 📅 23rd September, 2022 Topic The Easy Way Living Scripture Matthew 7:13 KJV 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 thereat: There are many ways and roads in life both spiritually and physically but the paths we choose to walk on determines our destination at the end. This world is full of sin and disobedience and selfishness, it has a wide gate welcoming everyone and it's paths are broad to gather much people in order to destroy their lives. Lying has become part of the way of so many today even some part of the church lie and claim it's the easy way out of troubles and confrontations. The easy way or short cut as it is often mentioned is not the way of life neither the way of righteousness. Looking for the easy way is looking for death, it is an invitation to false spirits that corrupts and pollutes. Let us seek to know the true path that leads to life and life in...

PECULIAR PEOPLE

Date 📅 31st August, 2022 Topic Peculiar People  Living Scripture 1 Peter 2:9 KJV But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: In the beginning God the Father was and is and is to come for a particular kind of people as He once did with Adam and eve in Eden. He created the heavens and the earth and everything that lives and breathes. And by the power of His Word He made man in His own image and likeness. Therefore man was made right from the beginning to be peculiar and fit for the glory of God. There was no plan in God's holy palm to reduce man to a pauper, it was our sinful ways and disobedience that caused us to fall short of this beautiful inheritance our first father once partook of. A peculiar People stands different, out of the ordinary, unusual and unpredictable from a specific clan or place. The scripture reads t...
