JESUS OUR GIFT

-

Text : Romans  6:23  

.....but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

The greatest Gift God had ever given and will ever give to humankind is Jesus Christ. 

This is another festive season that brings you another fresh remembrance of God's Love for you.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16.

The love of God for you is already expressed in the birth and death of Jesus Christ. You will not experience any greater prove of God's Love than what He already did in  Christ Jesus. 

All other love and gifts that you will receive from God will be through and in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:32 says:

"Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?"

Jesus is the prerequisite Gift for Every other gifts we shall receive from God. If we have Him, we already gotten all things.

You need to prepare your heart to receive Jesus Himself,  before you start seeking any corruptible gifts. Let Him be the very essence of your life.

Be very sure of the kind of RELATIONSHIP you have with Jesus before the year runs to an end.

Are you satisfied with Jesus as the Gift your heart desires, or is He just a means to  the gifts God wants give you?

 *Though, there could be many gifts from God, but the Greatest of them all is Jesus Christ. He is our GIFT in this season and forever.* 

Bible reading: John 3:16-31.

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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
