LEARNING CHRIST-2

Text:  Matthew 11:29.(NLT).

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

*Christ is both 'teachable and  'learnable'- He can be taught and learnt,* hence Apostle Paul said to the church in Ephesus, _"But you have not so learned Christ"_ Ephesians 4:20.

The question we may need to ask now is: what are we teaching and learning in our churches today?

Jesus Christ once told His disciples, "let me teach you..." because He knew clearly well that it is by teaching them they will learn of Him, and find rest for their souls. 

Many activities are going on in the church today, but what the Lord is really after is disciple-making.

Interestingly, disciples are born from sound teachings. And, the core of the great commission as spelt out in Mathew 28 are primarily making disciples and teaching them to observe all that Jesus Christ has commanded. 

 *Disciples are learners (pupils). So, if we are going to learn Christ, then you’ll be His disciple indeed.* Disciples are learners of Christ. They are followers (learners) of Christ Jesus in order to  become more and more like Him (their master).

It is becoming more and more difficult today to gather believers who simply want to learn their master(Jesus Christ). They are more interested in the gifs the master can offer than the very life of the master Himself. 

This generation of believers and christians are having itching ears. They cannot endure sound doctrine. So, they heap to themselves teachers that can satisfy their lusts.(2Tim.4:3). Such cannot take the yoke of Christ, hence they cannot  learn of Him.

You will become all that Christ is majorly by learning through teachings of sound doctrines by sound teachers of the word.

Bible Reading:

Hebrew 4:3-11.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I come to you today, give me the grace to start learning of Christ.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
