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.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
