THESE THINGS

Text : John 16:33.  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. There's a reassuring word in our text today from Jesus Christ our master, to you as a person. And the word is PEACE. He said, 'in Him you will have peace'. But before that He opened the statement by saying, "these things I have spoken unto you..." Jesus is still speaking today. But the question is, are you listening to Him? What has Jesus spoken to you? And what are you doing with what He has spoken to you? For every situation you are in, Jesus has a word for you. Today, Jesus is speaking to you through His Holy Spirit and through His words. He said in John 16:13 that , *Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.*  To have peace in...

VALIANT WARRIOR

Text : Judges 6:12.  The angel of the LORD appeared to him and told him, “The LORD is with you, you valiant warrior!” God called Gideon a valiant warrior because that is who he was destined to be, but he didn't see himself in that light at all. Like Gideon, many of us are fed up with the evil that surround us, yet it hasn't occurred to us that the miracle we have been praying for already lies within us. You can always tell the size of a man's greatness by the size of problem that comes his way. But a man's victory is not determined by his size but by his understanding of his true identity. David was able to kill Goliath not because he was bigger than Goliath in size, but he was way bigger than Goliath in heart, and because he had a true understanding of who he was. David told the Philistine, “You come at me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied.1 Samuel...

TEACH THEM LORD!-3

Text:Isaiah 54:13. I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace. Yesterday, we looked at the three institutions that God can use to raise Godly children; which are the home (not necessarily your biological home), the Church (not the building but the body of Christ) and the Christian Schools. The first two are directly instituted by God while He allowed the third one   to be established by His  children.  Home, Church and Christian schools are God's transformative platforms in our society today. When all these three fail in the life of a child, such child cannot be redeemed by any other institution on earth. The failure of these three in a child's life will inevitably lead to a  colossal and eternal  loss for such a child. When God says that He will teach your children, He is going to achieve that with the cooperation of these three transformative agents. The very fundamental of these three is the home, it is because of the failure of the ...

TEACH THEM, LORD!- 2

Text:Isaiah 54:13. I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace. It is important for every parent to know that it is only with the help of the Lord that they can raise  goodly and godly children. Hence, if  parents do not know the Lord, such  parents cannot do justice to Godly parenting.   *No matter how educated or disciplined ungodly parents may be, they cannot raise godly children, because you can't give what you don't have.*  It is clear that it will only take God's intervention for a child under ungodly parents to be raised as a godly child. Although, God's major institution for raising goodly and godly children is the home, but in a situation where the home has failed, God will be counting on the church and the Christian school to bridge the gap.  The church is God's major interception for raising goodly and Godly children. Church leaders must know this fact. This is the reason  children and youth ministry must not be taki...

TEACH THEM, LORD!

https://hisvoicedevotional.blogspot.com His Voice Text:Isaiah 54:13. I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace. One of the major challenges many parents are facing in this adulterous generation is how to raise goodly and godly children. While it is certain that ungodly parents cannot raise a godly child, It is however disturbing why many children from godly parents are being unruly and wayward. You will be appalled when you  hear about the artrocities being committed by young ladies and men that were raised within the confines of the church building and godly home. You will often wonder where the parents missed it.  Many parents have tried all they could to raise goodly and godly children, without getting the desired result. They have tried many means but all to no avail.  Today, aside Proverbs 22:6 that talks about training up a child in the way he should go, I want to highlight another major medium you can employ in raising goodly and godly childre...

GO AWAY SATAN

Text : Matthew 4:10. Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! Because it is written,   ‘You must worship the Lord your God   and serve only him.’” The devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, along with their glory, then, he told Him, “I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!”. This account is recorded in Matthew 4:8&9.  From this record, it's clear that the kingdoms of this world has 'glories', and the devil is the one in charge of them all.  He promised to give Jesus both the kingdoms and their glory only if He would bow down and worship him. Without mincing words, Jesus told Satan to go away with his kingdoms and their glories. Can you imagine what Jesus actually turned down? If the devil's proposal wasn't tempting enough, he wouldn't have used it to tempt the King of Glory Himself.  Can you also say 'go away' to that man and his ungodly offer? Can you boldly say 'go away...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...
