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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
