THE SIBLINGS 2

Text:  John 1:40-41.

Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and say to him, “We have found the Anointed One!” (which is translated “Messiah”).

The best service anyone can render to his brother is to bring him to the feet of the Master, Jesus Christ.

While others are scheming how to bring their brothers down, we have some who are working with the wisdom from above to bring their siblings to Jesus Christ.

Apostle Andrew was one of such men. Andrew, the senior brother of Peter heard about Jesus Christ and instead of keeping the beautiful news to himself he looked for his younger brother Peter, he shared the news with him and brought him to Jesus Christ.

If you have found Jesus, don't keep Him to yourself. Share the good news with your brothers and sisters. Take them to the feet of Jesus through prayers and most importantly, let your lifestyle complement what you professed.

Your family members are one of the difficult set of people to minister the gospel to (and this is for obvious reasons). Jesus said in Mark 6:4 that, “ *A prophet is without honor only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own home.”* So don't worry if your relatives did not jump at your message. Keep at it, they will come round with time.

Did you know that the siblings of Jesus In the flesh did not believe Him at the beginning of His ministry, read John 7:1-9. But they all became faithful disciples and Apostles of Jesus Christ later.

Always mention the names of people you desire their salvation to God in prayers. But never fail to show them Christ with your life.

Bible reading:

 John 1:35-42.

PRAYER FOCUS

Father, I receive the grace to cooperate with the Holy Spirit bringing my family members to the feet of Christ..

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
