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.

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...
