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.

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...

Sinner to Saint

Date 📅 20th October, 2022 Topic Sinner to Saint Living Scripture Romans 3:23 KJV For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The journey of our convertion and transfiguration started when we decided to let go of our self and old ways and tune into the will of God by accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Our Lord Jesus Christ is in the business of turning sinners to saints. Because of the fall of man from the beginning it was written that all mankind have sinned and come short of the supply of God's mighty glory. Which is why Christ Jesus died that we might be heirs and like heirs with Him in the kingdom of God. Without Jesus no one can be saved, all men without the knowledge and salvation of Christ are sinners. No man was born a saint, we are washed from stains, sins and disobedience into saints (children of God). The Bible is not full of men born as saints but rather men and women washed by the Blood of the Lamb of God and by the Word of God. Father Abrah...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
