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...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
