Tell People About God 2


Anchor Scripture: “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” – Luke 19: 10

Scripture References: Isaiah 57: 14 – 21; Malachi 3: 1 – 5; Matthew 3: 1 – 6; Luke 3: 3 – 6; John 1: 19 - 34

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace!

There is no gainsaying that most Christians today either do not know the actual reason Jesus Christ came and died for the world, or they are confused about what the reason really was; no thanks to motivational speakers-turned pastors and prosperity preachers who led the legions for the proliferation of the body of Christ.

Our anchor Scripture this morning points to the exact and singular reason Jesus Christ was made to suffer for the world. And this is the reason we need to talk to people about God. This morning, the Holy Spirit says He will like to highlight just THREE reasons we must speak to people about God. May our hearts be opened to receive the Word in Jesus' name, amen.

First, during the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ, He had no other message than that people should relinquish their sins and begin to live righteous lives in order to make it into the Kingdom of God. He did this with many illustrations in terms of parables. ANY OTHER THINGS HE DID IN TERMS OF MIRACLES WERE NEVER HIS MESSAGE, BUT THEY WERE DONE THAT THE PEOPLE MAY BELIEVE THAT HE WAS TRULY THE MESSIAH. Unfortunately, those are the things people seek and preach today. So, by telling people about God, you will be fulfilling the exact purpose of Jesus’ coming and dying for the world.

Next, by telling people about God, you will be fulfilling the heavenly mandate given His followers while leaving the world finally. And when you do that and win souls into the Kingdom, it means you are a true child of God because you are doing the work of your Father.

Another reason you need to tell people about God is that it has a way of ensuring that you yourself don’t veer off the track. Sincerely speaking, I found out that most of the time I have strayed away from God were times I kept my mouth quiet and didn’t speak to people about God. The reason for that I may not understand, but brethren, it is the truth.

FINISHING STRONG in and with God, therefore brethren is more than just attending churches every Sunday or at some other times during the week, or maybe belonging to one unit or the other in the church. The Holy Spirit did say it in one of our pieces in the past that WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING THAT DOES NOT DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO PEOPLE’S SALVATION IS NOT GOD’S WORK; just a religious assignment!

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
