DESTINATION


Text :John 14:6

 *Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.* 

When Jesus was about to depart from His disciples in the flesh, He told them that they knew where He was going (His destination) and the Way(Path) to get there. One of His disciples (Thomas) replied, "Lord, we know not where you are going; and how can we know the way?"

 *Knowing your destination is very important in life, but knowing the Way to your destination is much more important* . Many folks from different religious sects know their destination (presumably). They know there is God, they know there is heaven and they are willing to go to God but they do not know the way to God. 

Few days ago, my seven years old boy asked me, " Where are you going?" For lack of right answer to give (Since no particular place was in mind), I replied "I don't know".
Immediately,  the little boy replied, "you have to be careful o,  because 
 *People who do not know where they are going get lost easily."* I thought to myself, that's the truth! 

This is the truth even with you so many times. Do you know where you are going?
Are you sure of the way to your destination? If you are on the sure way, I hope you are not being distracted by the ruggedness, straitness or even the prosperity on the way?

No Prophet or any  acclaimed messenger of God has ever affirmed himself as the Way except Jesus Christ, our Lord. Others were not even sure where they themselves are going, needless to talk of them knowing the way.  

 *Jesus, the Son of God is the Way, the Truth and the Life- He is the Path, the Direction and the Destination.* 
As a believer, our final destination is the very Life(Zoe) of God. *To end in God's Life is our finished line* . And that Life is in Jesus. When you come to Christ, you must know that your destination is nothing else other than BECOMING like Him. Rom. 8:29. The Way (path) and the Truth(direction) to this Life(destination) is also Christ Himself. He is the EVERYTHING and the ALL IN ALL. Colossians.1:17.

 *Christ is everything-"For in him we live, and move, and have our being...." Acts 17:28* 


Bible Reading : John 14:1-12.

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...
