GREAT CHANGE

Text :  Luke 19:8. 

 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold_ .

While growing up as a child of God, one of the songs that struck a  deep cord in me was " There is a great change since I'm born again.... " But later on in years, some believers with another school of thoughts came with the theory that being born again has nothing to do with the change in your life. 

Well, it may be true that a positive change in character doesn't mean there's is a change in the spirit but the concluding part of this analogy is that a true change in the spirit will produce a positive change in the physical. 

When Zacchaeous had an encounter with Jesus,  without ceaseless bible study meetings, prayer meetings and unending seminars and conferences. With just one encounter,  his life took a new turn. 

The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is to convict you of sin among other things. 

And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:Joh 16:8. 

Have you ever had an encounter with Jesus Christ? 

Have you ever been convicted of your sin? 

Is there any change in your life since you have met with the Lord? 

How far have you journeyed with Jesus in this Christian race? 

Looking at your life now,  would you say you are any different from where you were before you gave your life to Christ? 

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.2Co 5:17 KJV .

 *Little children, don’t let anyone deceive you. The person who practices righteousness is righteous, just as the Messiah is righteous.1Jn 3:7 ISV* 

Bible reading: Luke 19:1-10.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
