MAJOR IN THE MAJOR-2

TEXT: Luke 10:42. But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her. It's important to get somethings straight in the story of Mary and Martha. 1.) *Martha was a disciple of Christ:* . She did not just welcome Jesus into her heart, she welcomed Him into her house, thereby making it easy for her brother and sister to know the Lord too. ( Luke 10:38). If you are a disciple of Christ, then today's message is for you. Don't just receive Jesus into your life, let those around you know He is the Lord of your life.  Open your home to others and let them meet Jesus there. Being born again is not a secret affair. Announce Him to your world. Remember, if you are ashamed of Him here, He will be ashamed of you in eternity. (Luke 9:26). 2.) *She was encumbered with service:* . Along the line, Martha was focusing more on working for God than walking with God. This is an error many of us commit so easily in our Christian journey. ...

MAJOR IN THE MAJOR

TEXT: Luke 10:42. “ But there’s only one thing you need. Mary has chosen what is better, and it is not to be taken away from her.” You can be busy without good result. *What counts is not just doing the right thing, but doing the right thing  at the right time.* Activity is not always productivity, and movement is not always progress.  In the story of Mary and Martha, Martha was occupied with many good tasks, yet she missed the most important moment -  sitting at the feet of Jesus. Many believers today are overwhelmed with schedules, responsibilities, and even church activities, yet their personal fellowship with God is suffering.  Jesus did not rebuke Martha for serving; He corrected her for being overwhelmed with it. Service is good, but devotion is better. When you major in what heaven considers minor, you end up exhausted and unfulfilled.  But when you major in the major, which is God’s presence, His Word, and His voice, every other aspect of life finds alig...

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?-3

TEXT: Matthew 6:21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Yesterday, we looked at the first man who stored his treasure here on earth. He chose earthly riches over eternal life.  Today, we shall be looking at the second man who chose salvation and store up his earthly treasure in exchange for eternal life. While the first man was very religious,the second man was a tax collector, an outright sinner. It is important to note that where you keep your treasure also determines where you will eventually end up. Zacchaeus was a chief among the publicans and he was very rich. He sought to see Jesus but he could not due to the press around him and as a result of his small stature.  In view of his stature, he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree so as to gain a height and positional advantage. Jesus saw him, asked him to come down and he followed him home. You can imagine the kind of effort a rich man and a chief tax collector put in, in order to see Jesus. He...

WHERE IS YOUR TREASURE?

TEXT: Matthew 6:21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Every man on this earth, be it rich or poor has got a treasure.    *To know what and where a man's treasure is, you only need to check the man's heart- the heart essentially shows where your treasure is.*  Our Lord Jesus Christ highlighted two different places where you can lay up your treasure. The place you decide to keep your treasure is where your heart would be.  You could store up your treasure in heaven or on earth. Jesus however advised that you store up in heaven. This is to ensure that your treasure is safe and that your heart journeys upward to God in heaven.  That's the reason God is saying to you in Colossians 3:2 to *"Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.(Colossians 3:2)".*  If your treasure are not kept in heaven above, you can't and won't be able to set your mind on things above.  *Where your mind goes, your heart follows.*...

HE IS INTENTIONAL 2

TEXT: Jeremiah 29:11. “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.” Our God is a detailed and meticulous God. He is so meticulous that the depth of His works is beyond human comprehension. Nothing about your life is random or overlooked.  Many times, the enemy may whisper, “You are just one out of billions; God may not really notice you.” But that is a lie from the pit of hell. You are not lost in the crowd with God. You are known, seen, and deeply valued by Him. When you reflect on how God formed you in your mother’s womb, you will realize that it takes an intentional Creator to create a being like a you. Your existence is not an accident; it is a divine design. In Psalm 139, David beautifully expressed this truth he says: *“For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderf...

HE IS INTENTIONAL

TEXT: Jeremiah 29:11.  “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope.” You are not a product of chance. You did not just appear on earth by coincidence,  your existence is not an afterthought in God’s mind.  Long before you were formed in your mother’s womb, God already had you in His plans. (Jeremiah 1:5.). Heaven is not confused about your life; God is deliberate, detailed, and purposeful concerning you. Human beings may make mistakes, parents may err in decisions, doctors may give wrong reports, and society may label you incorrectly,  but none of these cancels God’s intention for your life.  What people call an error, God can turn into a testimony. What looks like a delay to men may actually be divine preparation in God’s agenda. You are never a mistake in the hands of a perfect Creator. There are seasons when life may seem to be working against you. Doors ...

THE FEAR AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD 2

TEXT: Proverbs 9:10. “ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.” The fear of the Lord is not about being terrified of God; rather, it is about having deep reverence, honour, and respect for Him. It is an awareness of His greatness, His holiness, and His authority over our lives.  When a person truly fears God, their decisions, words, and actions begin to reflect that reverence. Such a life naturally attracts wisdom because wisdom begins where God is acknowledged. Knowledge of God goes beyond merely knowing about Him. It is not just head knowledge gained from books or sermons; it is experiential knowledge built through relationship, obedience, prayer, and meditation on His Word.   *Many people know scriptures, yet few truly know God.* True knowledge of God transforms the heart, renews the mind, and shapes character. Proverbs 2:2 tells us that “Making your ear attentive to wisdom, and turning your heart to understandin...
