One True Work

DATE - April 4th, 2022

TOPIC - One True Work

BIBLE TEXT - [Jesus said,] “There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it—and I won’t take it away from her.” - Luke 10:42


In the story of Mary and Martha we see not only how busy Martha is with preparations for dinner but also her frustration because Mary is sitting with Jesus instead of helping her. However, as much as Martha yearned for her sister’s help, her words to the Lord indicate an even greater problem: she could not control Mary. She went to the Lord saying, “Tell her to come and help me,” in hopes that he would get Mary to do as Martha wanted.

So often, the Martha in us tries to control another person’s choices, especially if we would benefit in some way, but we find ourselves in the same flustered state Martha was in. Mary wisely chose listening to the Lord over any service she may have done for him at that particular time. She was also living beyond her sister’s control and was discovering the one true work worth being concerned about—sitting at the feet of Jesus. What concerns you? The time we spend in prayer means more to him than any other work we could ever do. Jesus desires that we “sit at his feet” daily in prayer and learn from his infinite supply of love and knowledge.



PRAYER
LORD, I want to be like Mary, to rest in your presence and converse with you. Help me to discover today what it is like to lay aside everything else and focus on you. Without these times alone with you, my spirit would surely be dry and weary. I love you and need your guidance on how to spend time alone with you every single day. Amen

INSIGHT
Like Mary, choose to listen to Jesus Christ and don't be an "activity driven" Christian but a faithful one.

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...

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...

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...
