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.

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...
