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 ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
