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).

You must be born again

Spiritual birth, not human birth is a Prerequisite for acceptance and entrance into the Kingdom of God.

“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’” -John 3:5-7

 

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.

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.    

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.

Morning By Morning

Offer the Sacrifice of Praise to God

"By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name" -Hebrews 13:15

Do you know why it is a Sacrifice?

-For though We have not Received the Fullness of All Things; Yet We will Praise God for All Things.
*Paul & Silas were still in Prison when they Prayed & Praised their way to Liberty. (See Acts 16:16-29)
*Job was terribly afflicted when he Prayed & Praised his destiny to restoration. (See Job 1:20-22; Job 42:7-17)
*Lazarus was dead when Jesus Prayed & Praised him back to life. (See John 11:38-44)
*There was no food, when Jesus Prayed & Praised God; and fed over 5000 people. (See John 6:5-13)
*Israel was faced with the armies of the enemy nations, but when they Fasted, Prayed & Praised God; The Lord led the nation to Victory & Material fortune. (See 2 Chronicles 20).

It is God ........

I woke up this morning with this scripture in my spirit man: "It is God who arms me with strength, And makes my way perfect."- (‭Psalms‬ ‭18‬:‭32‬ NKJV). You see, God is the one who gives us strength in our daily endeavours. He is the one who enables, empowers and helps us to succeed in our daily routine of life. So, as we head towards the close of the year 2014, please remember to make it a duty to thank the Lord for His help, support, strength and enabling in your life and endeavour all through this year. "He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness, for a man does not prevail by his own strength."- (‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭9‬ HCSB)

God is Good

As we have just celebrated the Easter Weekend, isn't it wonderful to know that our God is good.

You see the nature of a person, expresses to you and I what to expect from that person. The make up and intrinsic attribute of a thing, clearly shows us what to expect from that thing.

So for example, you can not expect a car by its makeup to fly like an aeroplane, likewise you can not expect a snail by its sluggish nature to either run like a dog or like a Cheetah.

From My Heart To You!

You Shall Not Be Denied

As a redeemed child of God, there are things that God has given you in His Word and promises. For example, your right to 'Total Health' (See Isaiah 33:24; Jeremiah 33:6); amongst many others. As you may know, there is the enemy of our souls who is on a mission to rob us and thereby deny us of those things that are due to us in Christ Jesus.

But it is written: "To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not"- Lamentations 3:36

I pray for you today: That you will not be denied of the things that are due to you in Christ Jesus. That the enemy will not rob you of your covenant rights in Christ. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ- Amen!

"Do not hold back anything good from those who are entitled to it when you have the power to do so"- Proverbs 3:27 (GWT)
