Outside Holiness

DATE 31st May, 2023 TOPIC Outside Holiness LIVING SCRIPTURE Genesis 19:14 KJV And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law. Lot had been with Abraham for years, he was taught and trained by His uncle until he grew too big to serve and for counsel. Abraham loved peace so he gave Lot options to choose from since both of them are now equal in the eyes of Lot. He chose the greener landscape between Sodom and Gomorrah and went on with His life until the angels came to destroy the land because of the multiple sins and abominations. And when Lot found mercy because of Abraham from the LORD he could not save any other person because he was outside Holiness.  The people had no righteous regards for him, neither did they believe his last minute preaching of salvation because he lived just like them, conformed to their ways and permi

Obedience

DATE 30th May, 2023 TOPIC Obedience LIVING SCRIPTURE Genesis 26:5 KJV Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. Obedience is a way to serve the LORD with none of our will and all of His will. Many before us have lived and served the LORD and few of them actually followed through obediently. Noah heard the voice of the LORD to build an Ark for the deliverance of mankind in his time which he did successfully. And his family and animals that also obeyed where saved. If Noah had delayed or rebelled against the LORD it would have been disastrous for them. We see Abraham who's walk with God was from scratch, no formal training or mentorship from any man but a heart of obedience unto the LORD to set a foundation for us to follow. Father Abraham succeeded in obeying the LORD even unto the request of a sacrifice of life. He staggered not at any of the commandments of God, rather he gave himself up to follow the LORD. Much more our L

Stay with Jesus

DATE May 29th, 2023 TOPIC Stay with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 6:68-69 KJV Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.  [69] And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus said, "you shall know the truth, and the truth discovered, received and acted upon, shall make you free!" This is the truth Himself revealed to those who accept Jesus Christ and His words of life. He taught this same truth and many where angry, others left Him, because they said it was too hard for them to believe, some it was too hard to do the truth because of the way of the world that they are used to and the doctrines of men. Many left Jesus Christ that day, but here's the truth, He was unbothered by their actions and would quickly turn to his 12 disciples and ask if they'll go too! But they chose to stay with Jesus because eternity and eternal life is He who spoke the Truth. Don't just attend ch

There's Room for everyone in Jesus

DATE May 26th, 2023 TOPIC There's Room for everyone in Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Joshua 6:23,25 KJV And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.  [25] And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. (Study likewise: Joshua 2:1-end to know what Rahab did despite her sins and nature of work) Rahab lived a life she knew by harlotry just to meet ends and to fend for her family in a city filled with corruption and injustice. No one to preach righteousness nor the path of God to her until those two spies entered Jericho! Though she heard rumors but no real encounter. Like Rahab, there are many in wrong situations, careers, and lifestyle that are seeking to kno

Jesus calms the Storm

DATE May 25th, 2023 TOPIC Jesus calms the Storm LIVING SCRIPTURE Mark 4:39,41 KJV And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. [41] And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Till date mankind and especially those in Christ are still living in fears. Like the disciples of Jesus Christ on the boat with Him and yet they were afraid of the storm. Many children of God often forget that Jesus Christ lives in their hearts and with them by His Spirit always. The storms of life will hit hard and be contrary against our progress and destiny but we should not forget that Jesus is LORD. When the disciples remembered whom they have, they cried out to Jesus who was even resting and unbothered by the storm. And when He woke up, he spoke to the situation and nature obeyed the master's voice. Jesus Christ has won the devil but because we ha

God Is In control

DATE 24th May, 2023 TOPIC God Is In Control LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 24:1 KJV The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. On this wise the Psalmist began to meditate and it became clearer to him who owns the earth and it's inhabitants. He saw the wonders of God and the secrets to be searched out by kings. Despite walking through the valley of the shadow of death, which includes all the news on corruption, assassination, death, disasters, diseases, wars and many more things happening! God is still in control and if it were not so, the whole world would have been destroyed and mankind scarcely forgotten.  We thank God for been the creator and owner of the earth. But only those who believe in Christ Jesus are kept in the manner of Psalm 23, a table of victory, comfort, wealth, health and all the goodness of God set before his children right in the presence of their enemies. If the devil had control he would have scattered the table but h

Carry Jesus with You

DATE May 20th, 2023 TOPIC Carry Jesus with You LIVING SCRIPTURE John 17:18 KJV As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. The message and the mandate that is universal for every child of God is to carry Jesus Christ in our hearts everywhere we go and where we live and work. It is not because we feel like it but because it is a command that Jesus has sent us out to represent the Father and that through our testimony many will come to the Father. When we go out each day and interact with the society whosoever we represent will automatically be whom the world will see in us. When we carry Jesus with us daily we are guaranteed of a lifestyle that men will see the glory of God in our lives when we speak wisdom. Jesus Christ sent us into the world to lead and that righteousness be seen in us. Let us not make the mistake of carrying wealth about alone, but also carry love! There's so much of Christ Jesus to reveal to the world but only few truly car

Fear No Storm

DATE May 19th, 2023 TOPIC Fear No Storm LIVING SCRIPTURE Matthew 14:24-25 KJV But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. [25]And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.  [26] And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.  [27] But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. It comes to a point in our lives when the enemy rages against our progress and hits with divers kinds of contrary winds and storms of life. In this we are reminded that Jesus Christ ruled the storm, He specializes on walking on those things that scares mankind. Knowing that Jesus is in control at all times gives us peace when we dwell in the glorious covering of His love for His children. Each time we face such and remember who rules the storm, we suddenly loose the fears that gripped us for the faith that builds con

Child of Honor

DATE 18th May, 2023 TOPIC Child of Honor LIVING SCRIPTURE Mark 1:11 KJV And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. A child of Honor is a child that brings joy to the parents and to the society at large and even to nations that hear of the testimony. This brings us to our Lord Jesus Christ in whom till date our Heavenly Father is still proud of for all he has done for the world. He would have stayed in Heaven and stay beautiful and praised but He obeyed the command of the Father to lay down His life for rejects, sinners, the abandoned, those without any hope in life and destiny and without direction into eternal life. Right from His early days of ministry he gave joy to the Father. Another man notable in such wise is Joseph the son of Jacob who was well behaved and received honor of a coat with many colors. God is still in the business of making honorable sons and daughters today. But we must follow in the footsteps of Christ Jesus th

Choose Jesus

DATE May 17th, 2023 TOPIC Choose Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE John 6:67-68 KJV Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?  [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. Jesus Christ taught both the multitude  and his disciples the truth of Himself as the bread of Life and the only one with the testimony of the LORD our Heavenly Father. He told them that anyone that needs eternal life must eat of his flesh and drink of his blood. This requirement and teaching was hard for so many as it is today that many can't bear the gospel truth in services and many prefer the sermons that pampers them than the flesh of Christ Jesus. Jesus emphasized on the real meal than sustains mankind and is capable of producing life but many left him that day and refused to follow Him. He then turned to his disciples and asked them whom they chose and where is their faith on! And Simon Peter and the few chose Jesus Christ. From that day the twelve b

A New Heaven & Earth

DATE May 16th, 2023 TOPIC A New Heaven & Earth LIVING SCRIPTURE Isaiah 65:17 KJV For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. Dearly beloved brethren, we have this hope of a peaceful journey and future with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The LORD speaks boldly in the anchor scripture that we should have this in mind and registered in our hearts when we stay in His glorious covering and do His will. That we would be partakers much more of the New heavens and a new earth. These present heavens and earth we know of has been corrupted and polluted by deep spiritual pollution of unspeakable atrocities. The need for a new place of grace is prepared in the presence of God. Rejoice for our hope this morning is that while we are here on earth, God is with us and taking care of us and when we see the King we'll be in paradise. No more hurts, killings, sad news, corruption and sin and death will be no more in the new cre

Jesus Calls

DATE May 13th, 2023 TOPIC Jesus Calls LIVING SCRIPTURE Isaiah 55:1 KJV Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Jesus Calls everyone this morning both saved and unsaved to come and drink of the fountain of life freely. Your money or connection is no good when it comes to these resources, we only need surrender our hearts and by submitting ourselves to the LORD. You don't need to pay for salvation or redemption, no! Not all! Neither do you need to pay before listening to a teacher or preacher of the gospel. To they babes in Christ, He says come buy milk of the word to give you strong bones in the way of the LORD, mind you it's free but as a child of God you only need to pay the fee or price of paying attention diligently to His word. The Samaritan woman in John 4:1-24 met Jesus Christ waiting for her and he was ready to give to her of the water of life free

Decorate your Spirit

DATE 12th May, 2023 TOPIC Decorate your Spirit LIVING SCRIPTURE 1 Peter 3:3-4 KJV Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;  [4] But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. The inner as Apostle Peter calls our spirit needs to be adorned and decorated with things that are more spirit like than with carnal desires and designs. In the world and it's communities globally we see different categories of men and women of God whose adornment are only physical, they walk about with a title of pride and clothing to show their status while their own spirit lacks strength and beauty. God wants us to put on the ornament of meek, humble and quiet spirit, decorations of the inner man that the physical eyes can hardly see. Our LORD Jesus Christ lived a wealthy spiritual life and physically he

Take it to Jesus

DATE May 11, 2023 TOPIC Take it to Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Matthew 11:28 KJV Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This morning brings a calling voice of peace from our LORD Jesus Christ to His beloved children to come unto Him. In this month of God's Glorious Covering part of what the Father wants to do for us is to relieve us from the things that seem burdensome. Under the feathers of the Almighty Father we needn't be afraid or fretful. We just need to obey the word of God and walk into the blessings released unto us. He constantly reminds us and again in 1 Peter 5:7 KJV Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Care is also part of His glorious covering. The children of Israel were not only shielded and protected but also taken care of by the mercy of God. Everything about Israel was in the care of God and He met their needs without limits. To be cared for this season we need to recognize the provisions of God for us embe

The Same God

DATE May 10, 2023 TOPIC The Same God LIVING SCRIPTURE Hebrews 13:8 KJV Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. The God of Abraham, is the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, this truth reminds us of the faithfulness and works of the Most High God. The LORD is the same God from the beginning i.e the genesis of life. He is the same God who brought forth the children of Israel out of the years of oppression and bondage with an out stretched arm. The same God who parted the red sea, who destroyed great kings and famous kings and made mountains to skip like rams. The same God whom the prophets called; Elijah and fire and justice fell upon the land, Elisha and the wonderful miracles. The Hebrew brothers in Babylon, Daniel's victory over an entire ruling counsel. The list goes on till date. How do we see our creator this morning? Do we still value God the Father as before or some other culture, norms, ways or practices have taken the position of God in our lives. All Chr

Peace in Christ

DATE 8th May, 2023 TOPIC Peace in Christ LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:27 KJV Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. This morning brethren it is important for us to know the mind of Christ. It is not the will of God that our hearts should be troubled, no not at all. Part of the reason He died for mankind was to show us the way out of such distress. Jesus left a message for every troubled soul in John 14:27 - a message of peace that is only attainable in Him. When the cares of this world seem to disturb and choke our minds and hearts, we need to always remember the words of Christ meditatively and immediately. - Matthew 11:28 KJV Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This rest Christ Jesus spoke about is the peace and joy we receive when we trust our cares on Him to guide us, carry us and settle all. He remains faithful to us the only defaul

Loving God

DATE 6th May, 2023 TOPIC Loving God LIVING SCRIPTURE Mark 12:30 KJV And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. The wonderful story of true and pure love started with the person called Love. Love is the creator and the Father, the wonderful soul and an indescribable Spirit. He created mankind and gave us this earth to dwell but the devil manipulated the first parents on earth and they broke away from God's presence, covering and love. Mankind began to live and die outside of Love's great plan because of sin, death and disobedience. But something beautiful happened in Romans 5:8 KJV But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. The depths of this scripture and John 3v16 reveals so much about the Father called Love. It was not our wisdom or ways that brought love to man but the heart of Love Himself.  The anchor scri

Friend of Christ

DATE 2nd May, 2023 TOPIC Friend of Christ LIVING SCRIPTURE John 15:14-15 KJV Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.  [15] Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. The love of God is spread throughout the earth and when Jesus Christ, called His disciples - "friends". He poured out an unending and unconditional love towards them, not because they merit it, which they didn't have the qualifications for spiritually and physically. Are you a friend of Christ? Do you keep your promises to stay obedient, righteous, loyal and humble to the end? Jesus is faithful in all He does and He wants to carry us into the understanding of the kingdom mysteries. Father Abraham is a perfect example of a man who stood and walked with God as friends faithfully. God trusted him with secrets of Christ Jesus who is to come and the estab
