MY SHEPHERD

Text : Psalms 23:1 

 *The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.* 

 *It is so saddening how we religiously quote scriptures without any tangible contact with their realities and potency.* 

May the Lord revive us once again, that the scriptures may be rediscovered as our most valuable treasure. *Taking God's word and trusting in it just as it is, is Faith in its simple definition.* There are too many complications and complexities in our churches today, that has made seekers and members' lives more terrible. 

One of the major duties of every Pastor is to introduce members to the Good and Chief Shepherd.(John 10:11, 1Peter 5:4). So many ministers of the gospel today has forgotten that they will account for every single soul under them. They sometimes forget that the chief Shepherd has not called them to shear the sheep but to Feed them. 

One major question Pastors or ministers of the gospel must continually ask is: Am I shearing or feeding the sheep? *Pastor, are you a sheep Shearer or sheep Feeder?* 

To shear the sheep is to remove the fleece( hair or wool) from a sheep. A shearer is a person employed to perform the duty of shearing. It is important to note that when you shear the sheep, you gain but when you feed the sheep, the sheep grow and gain. When you shear the sheep, it looks a bit lean and naked. But if you feed the sheep it looks well fed and robust. *Sheep is not a cow to be milked. Pastors must understand this fundamental.* 

In John 21:16 _Jesus said to Peter again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep._ 

 *If you truly love Jesus, your priority as a Pastor would be centered on how to Feed and not how to Fleece the Sheep.* 

Bible Reading : John 10:1-10.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
