Jesus of Nazareth- The Saviour King

During this Easter season, I was reading the story of the Passion (arrest, trial, suffering and crucifixion) of the Lord Jesus in the Gospel of John chapter 19.

When Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified; "Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS."- John 19:19

The Bible records that this title written by Pilate about Jesus (as King of the Jews) was written in three Languages: Hebrews, Latin & Greek. (See John 19:20).

In Times of Adversity- SERIES 2

Commit Your Case to God & Hope in Him

Adversity is defined as 'a difficult or unpleasant situation.'

According to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation, over a million people have been infected globally with Coronavirus (COVID-19). This is a very disturbing news in view of reports from Johns Hopkins University indicating a global death toll of over 70,000 people from the virus.

How then, do you react in times like these?                                                             
What do you do in times of adversity?

Please observe all government health, hygiene, social distancing and stay home guidelines. 
In addition, let us look at the Bible (Job Chapters 5,13 & 14) for examples and answers:

1-) Appeal to God in prayer continuously
"Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward."- Job 5:7 NIV
"However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him."- Job 5:8 CSB
In difficult, uncertain and troubling times like this, wisdom demands that we seek the face of God continuously, and appeal for His mercy and help.

In Times of Adversity- SERIES 1

Return to God & Develop a Close Relationship with Him 

Adversity is defined as 'a difficult or unpleasant situation.'

At a time when Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has claimed over 24,000 lives, and over a quarter of the world's population is under some form of lockdown. These are indeed difficult and unpleasant times!

How then, do you react in times like these?
What do you do in times of adversity?

Please observe all government health, hygiene and stay at home instructions and policies.
In addition, let us look at the Bible (the book of Job 22:21-30) for examples and answers:

1-) Get to know God more
"Get to know God, and you'll be at peace with him, and then prosperity will come to you."- Job 22:21 ISV
Submit your life to God. Spend more time in His presence. Get acquainted with the Lord. This will give you peace.

The Maturing Christian

A growing, maturing & fruitful Christian (i.e. someone born again of the Spirit) will receive a blessing from God.

“For when the ground soaks up rain that often falls on it and continues producing vegetation useful to those for whom it is cultivated, it receives a blessing from God.”- Hebrews 6:7 ISV

 

Therefore, as a Christian, you should have a daily desire, hunger, drive and determination to grow in the Lord: 

- To grow in the knowledge of God,

- To grow in the the fear of God, 

- To grow in the love of God, and 

- To grow in your walk (i.e fellowship & relationship) with God.

Time & Season

I pray for You reading this:

‘In Due Season, God will give to you what is Due to You.

In your Appointed Time, God will give you what is Appointed for you.

In your Set Time, God will give to you what Heaven has Set Apart for You before the foundation of the world.

In Jesus Christ name- Amen’

“The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season”- Psalm 145:15 

“You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come”- Psalm 102:13

”Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph’s character”- Psalm 107:19

Please take time to pray it over your life also.

2018 is here!

2018 has been declared as our year of 'Great Exploits' in God's Vineyard Ministries.

However, it takes the knowledge of God to do exploits. It takes the help, strength, power and anointing of God to do exploits.

"And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits."- Daniel 11:32

Grace Makes Us To Reign in Life

Grace is a maker of men; the grace of God at work in a man's life makes such a man to become all that God has destined him to be. By the grace of God we are empowered and enabled to rule over circumstances and contrary situations. We are able to prevail over challenging issues in life, thereby succeeding and excelling in life.    

This Shall be Your Portion

2016 is Here!

Praise be to the name of The Lord, our God Almighty. Hallelujah!

This shall be your portion this year:

"May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a victory banner in the name of our God. May the LORD answer all your prayers."- Psalm 20:5

International Day of Happiness

Isn't it refreshing and great to know that the world recognises the importance of happiness in a world awashed with a deluge of depressing news particularly with the current surge in religious extremism.

As refreshing as the concept of International Day of Happiness (March 20) is, we need to remember that happiness is fleeting, temporary and circumstantial. This is because our happiness is a function of happenings around us; it is based on the events around us. So when we receive and hear good news, we are happy; but when we receive bad news, what happens to our happiness? Also when we receive gifts from people and they show us love, we are happy; but when people ignore and treat us bad, what happens to our happiness?

God is with us

God's presence with a man, woman or people is perhaps the greatest privilege we can enjoy in life as children of God.

When the presence of God is with a people, God watches over them; God provides for them; God protects them; God cares for them; God defends them etc.

In the Bible, a man called Daniel was wrongly accused and thrown into Lions' Den, but the lions could not hurt him because God's presence was there in the Den with him.
