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...

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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
