WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN MY LORD?

Text: John 20:15 

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

Mary Magdalene in whom the Lord Jesus Christ cast out seven demons came very early on the first day of the week to the tomb, all to find out that the stone had been rolled away; and that the Lord had been supposedly taken away.

She stood right in front of the Sepulcher crying-"where have you taken my Lord?". While Mary was still weeping,  Peter and John came to the Sepulcher, they entered into the Sepulcher and simply left with a testimony of beholding napkin and handkerchief but not the Lord.

If Peter and John were to start ministry from what they saw, they would have started the mantle ministry just like many have majored in even today. 

As for Mary, she stood still, weeping and asking anyone who cares to listen- 'Where have you taken my Lord, tell me, where you have laid him, and I will take Him away?"  

Unknown to Mary, she had asked two angels this question, still seeking for more answers,  she asked Jesus (who seemed to her as gardener). She asked Him the same question- woman, why are you weeping? She made her request known to the seeming gardener who happened to  be Jesus Himself.

That very day, Jesus Christ, the risen Lord made Himself known to Mary. Unlike Peter and John, Mary went home with the great testimony of seeing the risen Lord. 

If you will also wait on the Lord like Mary in this season, you will surely see the risen Lord. He will come to you in a personal and unique way. 

Don't be in a hurry to run with paraphernalia around the risen Lord. Stop spreading handkerchief and napkin gospel which has no power. Wait to encounter the risen LORD, so that you can have the tangible testimony of beholding the risen Lord. This way, the gospel will become a potent and tangible experience to you and to as many you share it with.

May the gospel come afresh to you as an experience and encounter with the risen Lord in this season and beyond in Jesus name. 

 *The gospel is not just a story, but an experience with the risen LORD!* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I ask  that you grant me fresh encounter and experience with my risen LORD.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
