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..

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...
