ANOTHER COMFORTER(1)


Text : John 14:16 

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

When the disciples heard about Jesus' departure, they were full of sorrow and fears. So He issued them a profound statement to allay their fears. He said to them "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you"(John 14:18)

The disciples had enjoyed some comforts, supernatural protection, provisions and deliverance while Jesus was around. Peter's mother in-law was healed of fever instantly, the disciples were delivered from shipwreck, their financial obligations were met.  The disciples enjoyed all-round help and comfort because Jesus was around. 

In view of the privileges the disciples had been enjoying because of Jesus' presence, they were filled with sorrows when they heard that He would be leaving them(John 16:5-7).

The same comforting news Jesus gave them over 2000 years ago, is still applicable to you and me today: *I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU COMFORTLESS* 
Whatever you may be going through today, I am made bold to tell you that you have the same comfort Jesus promised the disciples. Another Comforter  which He promised had already been sent and same comforter is still around till TODAY. The Holy Spirit will give you same comfort the disciples enjoyed while Jesus was with them.

Whatever your situation might be today, I want to tell you that the comforter(Holy Spirit) is around to comfort you.
Just take few minutes, wherever you are now and RECEIVE His comfort into your situations.


Bible reading: John 14:16-20, John 16:4-16.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
