THE ONLY WAY

-

Text : John 14:6 ISV 

 *Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.* 

Many people and religious Sects do not have problem with God the father as it were, the problem has always been with them accepting the person of Jesus Christ. 

In fact, today, it seems politically incorrect to say that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father. So what do you tell others who don’t’ believe this?

The early church was often called people of, “ *the way* ," Acts 9:2. Meaning, it was the way that Jesus taught, who Himself said He was the way, the truth, and the life. Obviously, Jesus meant that it is only through faith in Him that we have access to the Father in heaven. 

The world is what it is today because majority of people do not know *the way* Instead of seeking *the way,* they improvised other means for themselves. You hear students saying stuffs like, " he who knows the way will top his class." People in the market place, ask themselves about *the way* to success...

However, all these perverted ways only lead to more miseries and woes without any lasting Joy. But Jesus categorically declared that *"I AM THE WAY."* 

He didn't say he is a way or he is one of the ways. But He said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE... A good question to ask here is, Jesus is the way to what? 

Well, He (Jesus) supplied the answer, He said, "...no one comes to the Father but through me" John 14:6. It is Important to know therefore, that Jesus is the way to the Father(the very source of life). And this presupposes that He is the way to the solution of all of man's problems. 

He is the way out of the predicament you are in now. Becauae Jesus is the only way to the Father, then, if you follow the way, you will gain access to the One who controls all things.*God is the creator of the universe and He rules over the affairs of men* . 2 Chronicles 20:6.  

For my fellow believers already in the church, It is very possible for you to have gotten so used to the name and person of "Jesus" that you no longer rely on His affirmation as the Way anymore. Hence, you are seeking another way to help yourself. I want to encourage you to find grace at this hour as you open your heart to approach and access the way(JESUS) one more time. 

He will surely come true for you. 

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Repent of every alternative ways you have carved for yourself and ask God to forgive you. 

2. Ask God to give you grace to locate the way again and stay in Him. 

Bible reading: John 14:1-14.

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
