YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Image
You ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Jesus was speaking to a crowd of just ordinary folks. Yet Christ said to them, "You are the light of the world" ( Matthew 5:14 ). Even today, you are the light of the world. That's how God intends to get his work done on earth today: through you! It's not just pastors and missionaries who are the light; it's everybody who loves the Lord.Jesus also described His people as being like light, which is on the outside. The light speaks of the testimony of a follower of Christ, revealing and illuminating the truth. Jesus is telling us to shine in any where we find ourselves. If you are not shining as a Christian, that's the wrong representation of our Christ Jesus. No matter how small a candle stick is,it will light up dark room. No matter where you are or how small you are, you must shine in anywhere you go. Light has so many features and advantages in our lives and we have to make use of theses features so that Christ might be ...

THE NAME OF JESUS AS A WEAPON

THE NAME OF JESUS AS A WEAPON. Philippians 2:9-10 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth… Luke 10:17-18 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Acts 4:9-10 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was...

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part3)

Image
PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 3) As I conclude this final part of this amazing topic, God is going to give you peace in the midst of storm, no matter the storm it will not swallow you in Jesus name , amen. 3. Be assured of God’s goodness (verse 38). The third key to experience peace in the midst of the storm is: Be assured of God’s goodness. The disciples doubted God's goodness. They felt that Jesus didn't care about them. Before we criticize these "timid" disciples, we must search our own hearts. When we go through the storms of life, sometimes, we doubt God's goodness and even question his sovereign will. We wonder whether God is making a mistake by allowing certain painful situations in our lives. But the fact is that God does care for us. 1 Peter 5:7 says “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” The writer to Hebrews says, "15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but on...

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM( Part 2)

PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 2) 2. Do not stay in fear (verse 40). Another thing that we need to remember when we are in a storm is that we should not stay in fear when a crisis hits us. Let’s face it. All of us get afraid when we are in a difficult situation. But we must not stay in fear! The cry of the disciples in verse 38 does not come as a request but as an expression of utmost fear. They felt that their Master didn't care about themselves. Mark gives a graphic description of the fearful situation that the disciples were in. Verse 37 is rendered in the Analytical-Literal Translation as: “Then a great storm of wind comes, and the waves were splashing [epeballen] (imperfect tense – past continuous tense) into the boat, with the result that it is already being filled [Gemizesthai] (present tense – present continuous tense).” The disciples were in a terrible situation. The storm was life-threatening. They were not afraid for no reason. Some of these disciples w...

Peace in the midst of storm

Image
PEACE IN THE MIDST OF STORM (part 1) Luke 8:23-24(KJV) But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. Prior to this passage, we see that Jesus taught few parables to His disciples about the Kingdom of God. Probably for the sake of privacy and relaxation, Jesus proposed a trip across the lake of Galilee. And in this passage, Mark, the Evangelist gives a graphic account of the stilling of the storm as they were crossing the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:35-41). Just like these disciples, many times we find ourselves in the midst of storms, problems, and difficulties in our lives. Many times we asked ourselves this questions, can I really find peace in the midst of this storm? The answer is yes you can, just like the apos...

Jesus our balm of Gilead

Jesus is Our “Balm of Gilead”? “Is there no balm in Gilead?”  (Jeremiah 8:22). In three different places the Old Testament mentions the “balm” or healing ointment that comes from Gilead, the mountainous region east of the Jordan River. When Joseph’s brothers conspired against him in Genesis 37, they sold him to a caravan of Ishmaelites from the region of Gilead carrying a load of gum, balm, and myrrh (v. 25). Jeremiah 46:11 mentions the healing balm of Gilead. Jeremiah 8:22 poses a question to the sinning people of Judah:   Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? A well-known African-American spiritual applies the words of the text this way:  There is a balm in Gilead To make the wounded whole; There is a balm in Gilead To heal the sin sick soul. Jesus  is truly the “balm of Gilead” for all the hurting people of the world. When J. C. Philpot preached on Jeremiah 8:22 in 1852, he pointed out that God’s grace is always greater than our s...

FORGET!!!

FIVE STEPS TO LET GO OF THE PAST People say it is very important to keep in mind things you’ve done in the past so that you can have an evidence for what your life turns out to be. I say history is nothing but history. What you have done in the past has absolutely no role to play in your future. We have all done things or been through situations that we are not so proud of or happy with, which is part of life. I will be discussing 5 simple ways you can forget about the negative things that had occurred in the past and move in with life. 1. Renew your mind If your mind focuses on the negative things that had happened in the past, your life will move in a negative direction. Your life move in the direction of your dominant thoughts, so whatever you set your mind and focus on is what your life and emotions will follow. Instead of setting your focus and thinking about all the negative things that had occurred in the past, all the heartbreaks, all the things you’ve lost, all ...

PHOTOSHOP CAN EDIT YOUR FACE NOT YOUR CHARACTER. (Apst. Peter Christopher)

Image
PHOTOSHOP CAN EDIT YOUR FACE BUT NOT YOUR CHARACTER. Solid character will reflect itself in consistent behavior, while poor character will seek to hide behind deceptive words and actions. Many girls are still single today due to lack of character and many boys are still bachelors due to the same facts of lacking character. The real ornament of a woman is her character, her character is her purity. Photoshop can edit your face but not your character. If many girls where that woman at the well of Samaria in the book of John 4:7, they would have chase Jesus away with their character by ignoring him because they are slay queens that their face have been edited with photoshop to be posted on social media, they would have also refused to give Jesus water to drink not knowing that the Living water was standing right before them. Many guys today who called themselves slay king and sagging masters where to be that Good Samaritan in the book of Luke 10:33 who helped that poor man in th...

Change your thinking pattern

CHANGE YOUR THINKING, CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Proverbs23:7a. For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Have you ever noticed or surprised that there are people you know who are still at the same place and spot you left them five years ago? They  are still at the same complaint counter, they still have the same unfulfilled dreams ,same level of procrastination and have refused to move forward or advanced in life or their career, relationship and their commitment to God. They are still thinking in the same direction they were thinking five years ago. They have simply refuse to embrace the innovations going round the world and the 21st century advancement. If the way you were thinking five years ago is not working out for you, why don't you change your thinking pattern in order for your life to change. Man is a product of what his thought is. You cannot grow beyond the level of what you are thinking are. Jeremiah 29:11 says For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, ...
