JESUS OUR PEACE

 Text : Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

 Jesus does not only give us peace, He is essentially our PEACE. He is the very author of PEACE for as many as received Him. In this world wherein we live, there are so many reasons to be troubled and thrown off balance. But the Prince of peace Himself is always by your side to provide you with the much needed peace.

I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 

 One day Jesus was on the sea with His disciples, and there arose a life threatening boisterous wind. Nothing on earth could take away peace like being on a boat that is about to sink. Perhaps, you are on such boat as you are reading now. I want to ask you to simply call on Jesus in Faith. 

 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.Mark 4:37. You will wonder what should be the appropriate response of people in this kind of situation(boat).

 ".....Jesus' disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” Mark 4:38. This seems to be the natural approach and reaction from any normal human being. But Jesus' response negates such fearful response even in the face of life threatening situations. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Mark 4;40 

 Today, if you have the Prince of Peace in your boat(life), you have no reason to be afraid but simply have FAITH IN Him.There is no situation He can't handle. 

 Nothing in this world can wreck the boat(life) Jesus is sitting in. Even while they interrupted his sleep, he woke up with confidence and rebuked the wind(Problem). 

AS YOU PREPARE FOR THE COMING YEAR, SETTLE IT IN YOUR HEART THAT NOTHING WILL WRECK YOUR BOAT; SIMPLY BECAUSE, YOU WILL BY FAITH IN THE NAME OF JESUS REBUKE EVERY BOISTEROUS WIND THAT COMES YOUR WAY. 

WISHING YOU A GLORIOUS & JOY-FILLED 2021 IN ADVANCE

Bible Reading: Mark 4:35-40

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...
