KING OF KINGS

Text : Matthew 2:2.

“Where is the one who was born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

Herod was the sitting king when Jesus was born. Naturally, the birth of another king was a threat to him and his throne.
When King Herod heard this, he was disturbed, as was all of Jerusalem._ Matthew 2:3.

Before you encountered Jesus, there were powers (forces) reigning in your life as king, they know beyond doubt that the presence of Jesus in your life will dethrone them, so they will do everything to make you loose what you have. BEWARE!!!

King Herod planned to kill Jesus, but hear what he told the wise men, He told them; “As you go, search carefully for the child. When you find him, tell me so that I, too, may go and worship him.” Matthew 2:8.

If the enemy introduced himself to you as enemy and told you he's out to kill you, you'll obviously keep your distance, but the real enemies are those that came as friends.

However,  the King of kings cannot be killed. *The King of kings is in your life to dethrone every other kings that has been reigning hitherto if only you will let Him.* 

Romans  6:16  says _Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

That is, sin has been reigning in you as king before Jesus came, but now is the time to handover to the King of kings to take the reign of your life.

Note that like King Herod,  sin wouldn't want another master to take over your life. But it's up to you to make the choice who the master will be.

PRAYER FOCUS
1.) Lord, I yield the totality of my life to you as my Lord and master.

Bible Reading:Matthew 2:1-12.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
