THIS SAME JESUS

Text :  Act 1:11. 

Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

It was prophesied long ago that the Messiah will come. In Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah boldly declared that, _For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace._ 

Again, very explicitly, Isaiah 7:14 says, Therefore, the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 

When this was prophesied thousands of years ago, some people did not believe it because they refused to listen to the voice of the Spirit. Some others didn't believe because it didn't sink with both logic and science.

However, today, everyone knows that indeed Jesus Christ was born of a virgin Mary. Everything that was written concerning Jesus before His birth was fully fulfilled in Him when He came here physically as man.

In the same vein, we are told of some things that will happen in the future before the close of this generation, yet some people are sceptical about it, while some are handling it with a pinch of salt attitude. 

After His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ ascended to heaven in the full glare of everyone present. Before their very eyes, Jesus was taken up to heaven.

Astonished, they were glued to that spot wondering what just happened. While they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;Act 1:10. These men affirmed to them (and to us too), that this same Jesus will come back again. 

If you believe in the efficacy of God's words, then you should always remember this. Just as it was said that the Saviour will be born and it came to pass, now we are being told that He will come back again, then you should know it is true.

Of a truth, the same Jesus that walked the street of Galilee will come back to this earth again to reign forever more.

Revelation 1:7 says Look! He is coming in the clouds.   Every eye will see him,   even those who pierced him,   and all the tribes of the earth will mourn   because of him.  So be it! Amen.

Since it's so certain that our Lord is coming back again, how well prepared are you to meet with Him? God cannot be mocked, you will surely reap what you sowed when Jesus comes the second time.

Jesus says in Revelation 22:12 that, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Bible Reading:

 Acts 1:1-11.

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...
