ONE THING I KNOW

Text : Joh 9:25

He answered and said, Whether he is a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, before I was blind, now I see.* 

The story was told about a man who was blind from birth. He had lived in darkness all his life. Because of his condition, he had lived a beggarly life, always at the mercy of the unmerciful people.

One fateful day, God decided to change his estate. He had an encounter with Jesus and his story changed. His eyes were opened and he could move about freely and fend for himself without being beggarly. You would think people will rejoice with him. But NO! 

Typically, people prefer to pity your sorry state than rejoice with you when your story changed for the better. 

People will rather give you 'peanuts help' and leave you in your downtrodden state, than see you lead a victorious life. 

Such was the case of this blind man. Instead of rejoicing with him that a great miracle had happened to him,they rather chose to question his recovery and miracle till the "authority " got wind of it. John 9:8-13.

These religious bigots(the Pharisees) called this man for questioning with the aim of despising the miracle of God in his life. After much Ado, the one time blind man declared "One thing I know is that, I was once blind, but now I" see. 

Just as this blind man got a transformation and miracle that brought him an experiential knowledge of God's power, so also when the Lord transforms your life and situation, there will be many debates, gossips and bickering around your life. Many would doubt and disregard the great change, but one thing always stands out for you- "What You KNOW, you KNOW"

 *WHAT DO YOU KNOW?* 

 *HAVE YOU ANY ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS?

 *WHAT HAS YOUR ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS DONE IN YOUR LIFE?* 

 *CAN YOU SAY WITH ASSURANCE THAT ONCE YOU WERE BLIND BUT NOW YOU SEE?* 

A true encounter with Jesus will bring about a lasting positive change in your life. 1 Corinthian 5:17.

My prayer for you this year is that the Lord will bring you into an experience and knowledge that will transform your life in a very vivid way.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you. 

2. Restore unto me the Joy of your salvation and renew right Spirit within me. PS. 51:12.

Bible reading: John. 9:1-41.

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...

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...

DECEITFULNESS OF SIN 2

TEXT. Hebrews 3:13  *But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin* .  *While deceit is a sin, Sin itself is deceitful.* Sin has the capacity to lure a man to do stuffs. *One of the major vices of the devil is to make sin appear attractive and unharmfult.* If Eve could see what the consequences of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be, she would have resisted the deception of the man of sin. She was simply deceived.Gen, 3:6 While it is no news that all sinners are already condemned to deceitfulness of sin, it is sad to know that many children of God (like Adam and Eve), are being easily deceived by Sin. See the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5:1-13. Many Christians today are still playing the same game of smartness this couple played. I call it smartness because that was what they thought they were doing. While they thought they were smart, Peter knew that Satan h...
