The Good Shepherd

Living Scripture
John 10:11 KJV
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.


CAPSULE
Jesus Christ is our good shepherd, which shows us responsibility and sacrifice. It is only a true leader that will go an extra mile to ensure total safety and provision of his people. He was never careless, He never lacked focus and none went missing amongst His sheep fold. The ways of Christ brought about relationship between the shepherd and the sheep, he attended to their needs and was ready to die for them no matter the confrontations they faced, which he did as a necessity for victory on the cross of Calvary.

Young David was a shepherd boy with similarities and qualities of a good shepherd. He never ran from an enemy or beasts which attacked his sheep. He was bold and courageous because he was also a sheep under the Chief Shepherd - Jesus Christ the Son of God. Many leaders run away at the slightest confrontations and leave their members open to attacks. Whereas a good leader should always prayer cover their flock (members). David testified that it was the LORD who helped him overcome those attacks. 
1 Samuel 17:34-37 KJV
And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: [35] And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. [36] Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. [37] David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.

Jesus Christ always depends on the Father for everything when it comes to shepherding. And He was very successful at it. In any area God has placed us to lead either as a parent, a teacher, a pastor, an apostle, a government official or the head of any organization, we are expected to follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ and seek the fruits of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Every leader must be a good sheep under Jesus Christ the Bishop of our souls.


PRAYER CAPSULE
• Thank you Jesus for being our good shepherd and for taking the stand against our enemies. Thank you for your death and resurrection, the victory for your flock.
• Heavenly Father, I receive Grace to lead well and to be led by you.
• O Lord, I depend on you as you depend on the Father! I shall be bold, courageous & take a stand in Jesus name.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – 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 there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...
