Be Patient

DATE - 21st April, 2022

TOPIC - Be Patient 

BIBLE TEXT - James 5:7 KJV
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.



When the Son of man (Jesus Christ) comes (returns) will He find faith here on earth? (Luke 18:8b) This question reveals how so many saints on the last day will be found wanting for their lack of patience and faith in the Lord. We are instructed to be patient with an expectation of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our patience must be carried along with righteous expectations/desires as the scripture says - Proverbs 10:24b KJV ..but the desire of the righteous shall be granted. Yes! God will grant our righteous desires as we wait on Him daily.

The most beautiful and lasting relationships takes a lot of time. To trust takes time. To raise a solid foundation takes time. To be a mature Christian takes time. Before you manifest in the office of your calling it takes time. Before the vision manifest fully, it takes time. Though we are called children of the Most High God but only those who faithfully and patiently wait on the promises of God shall be crowned as the Sons of God. David was anointed as the King of Israel by prophet Samuel when he was a teenager but didn't jump to be the king immediately. The Bible says he behaved himself wisely (1Samuel 18:19) and at the age of 30 he became the king of Judah before he sat as king over Israel at age 37.

Will you wait for the second coming of our savior Jesus? If you will then have this in mind and heart while you wait - Heaven is real! Don't get distracted by those in love with the pleasures and beauties of this world. They are only temporal. Don't let temporal things take away your eternity in Christ Jesus! Wait patiently and faithfully.


PRAYER
Lord Jesus, help me to wait on you with righteous expectations of your second coming. I long to see you in the beauty of your holiness.

INSIGHT
Be Patient

MARY, DID YOU KNOW?

Date - December 19th, 2021 Topic - MARY, DID YOU KNOW? Bible Text - But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.” - Luke 1:30-31 If God had asked the women of Israel who wanted to be the mother of the Messiah, every one of them would have raised her hand. If they had known what that privilege would actually involve—becoming pregnant before marriage, enduring terrible gossip, watching helplessly as their Son was mocked, ridiculed, tortured and crucified—those hands would have come down in a hurry. Mary certainly didn’t volunteer for the job. And she was stunned to discover she’d been selected for such an important role. She handled the extraordinary situation with grace and humility. She asked one question to help her understand God’s plan, then agreed to it immediately. God has a plan for each of us. Ours may not be as earth-shattering as Mary’s. Ou...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...

Inside Jesus

DATE 28th June, 2023 TOPIC Inside Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:4 KJV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. Inside Jesus Christ the Lamb of God is where we must dwell. Just like a baby is carried in the womb of her mother for months, so must all God's children follow. The anchor scripture reveals that we must abide inside the cleft or riven side of Jesus Christ just as He also dwells inside us. No child of God or minister should ever think that he or she is sufficient or has attained a certain height in Christ Jesus to stand alone or even abide by themselves.  Our productivity of bearing fruits in this world either by evangelism, good deeds, love or any action can only be possible when we are intimate with Christ as He is with us. Without Christ Jesus inside us we cannot or it is impossible to grow spiritually and physically. Inside Christ Jesus contains all life's resources and...
