CHRIST'S DEATH, OUR GLORY

-


Text:  1 Corinthians 2:8 


 *Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.* 


The death of Christ has brought glory to as many that would believe in it and walk in that reality. *Christ's death is the greatest price and sacrifice of all times.* There is no need for any other sacrifice again. Jesus has offered Himself once and for all. The blood He shed was not offered in earthly tabernacle but before God in the heavenly tabernacle.


For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf.

And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal.If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.

Hebrews 9:24-26.


One of the reasons for the denial of the death of Christ by a number of religious sects, is simply to deny us of the glory that accrue to us from His death. 


Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin, and if sin is not remitted, no one can experience the glory of God. This is because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Rom. 3:23.


Devil and his cohorts knew after Jesus had died that it was their undoing. *"...None of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory"* 

1 Corinth. 2:8


 The death of Jesus Christ is the ultimate price and sacrifice for the fall of man in the garden. It brought an end to the consequences of sin.

And because he died, you will live and live forever. His death opened the door of  eternal life to all that will believe in Him. John 3:16.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father, give me the grace to receive  and come into all that you died for.



 *Bible Reading:* Hebrews 9:21-28.

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
