LOST BUT FOUND

Text: John 14:6

I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

Often in life, just one wrong turn, just one wrong decision
can take us where we do not want to go or, more importantly, can keep us from going where we do want to go.

Just like the prodigal son in Luke 15:13, where the scripture says,"And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living."

Often than not, people make  decisions which take them away from God who is the very  source of life. Such decision always lead to wrong path where there is a roadblock. It is worthy to note that it is not all roads that lead to God.

There is a certain road which has a roadblock that can hinder one from reaching unto God. This roadblock keeps one from reaching God, no matter how hard one tries. 

That roadblock is sin. But glory be to God for making provision for mankind through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is not just a way but the way by which we can trace our steps back to God. He is also the mediator that helps those that are on the wrong path. (Hebrew 5:2).

Just as the father of the prodigal son waited with open arms to receive his lost son, so also our Father in heaven is longing and waiting to receive each and everyone who has missed the road, and willing to come back to Him.

Jesus Christ said, No man comes to the Father but by me. Not only does Christ give people direction to the Father, but He also gives daily directions as to the Father’s will for our lives.

Bible reading:

Luke 15:11-21.

Prayer Focus

Father Lord,  wrong decisions have limited me from living fully for you. Take away my sins and guide me with your Holy Spirit .

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...
