GALILEE

Text: Matthew  28:7  

And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Easter is not just a weekend celebration. This season is only to commemorate the event. Easter is a lifetime celebration for every Christian. 

The death and resurrection of Christ is the bedrock of our faith as Christians.

The angel that spoke with Mary told her to tell His disciples that He is risen. *Your first assignment as a believer is to herald the good news to all around you, that He is risen.* 

If indeed you have encountered Him, then, you have been saddled with the responsibility of witnessing to what you know and have.

Again, the angel told her that Jesus will be found in Galilee. Jesus Himself told them the same thing in verse 10 of Matthew 28.

Then Jesus told them, “Stop being frightened! Go and tell my brothers to leave for Galilee, and they will see me there.”Mat 28:10.

Why Galilee you might ask? Galilee means  heathen circle, that is where unbelievers are concentrated. Why will Jesus choose such a location to meet with His disciples after resurrection?

Well, God's mission's statement was so clear in John 3:16, He says 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.

Jesus came so believers (in Him) will not perish. But how can anyone believe if there were no preachers. 

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?Romans  10:14.

Jesus is still very much interested in saving sinners. He came to die for sinners actually. He says for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.Mat 9:13.

At His ascension, He said to His disciples Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Mat 28:19.

 *Jesus is still waiting for you in Galilee,  so you can show Him and tell of His love to the gentiles.* 

A song has it thus:

Go where the sinners are
Go where the sinners are
Go and tell them about Jesus
Go where the sinners are.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father, please pour your compassion into my heart so I  can see the gentiles the way you do. 

Bible Reading:

 Matthew 28:1-20.

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...
