REMEMBER WHO HOLDS YOU. Part 01


The greatest example of humility is none other than Jesus christ. Hold it right there. Before you assume you know what this is all about, Read on.
Speaking of Jesus, Who had more reason to boast than he? Yet he never did. He walked on water but never strutted on the beach. He turned a basket into a buffet but never demanded an applause. A liberator and a prophet came to visit him, but he never dropped names in his sermon. He could have. "Just the other day I was conferring with Moses and Elihah." But Jesus never thumped his chest. He refused even to take the credit . "I can do nothing on my own" (John 5 vs 30). He was utterly reliant upon the father and the Holy spirit.  "All by myself"? Jesus never spoke such words. If he didn't, how dare we??
  We can rise so high but never stoop too low. What gift are you giving that he did not first give?
Speaking of which, my greatest motivation for giving(especially offerings)is "Every thing I have today in terms of finances - no matter how small or how much came from him, so giving back too him shouldn't be a problem".
What truth are you teaching that he didn't first teach?
You love. But who loved first ? You serve. But who served the most? What are you doing for God that he (Jesus)  could not do alone ?

IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS

And the bible says, “…at the fourth watch” (according to the Romans, it’s the time spanning from 3am – 6am) of the night, which is the darkest time. They say “darkest before dawn”-that’s the fourth watch. In the darkest period , “…he looked down and he saw them, he saw his disciples rowing against the wind”. It actually says “a strong wind was blowing - boisterous.” Stay with me… And Jesus came walking on water... (How cool is that!) *wind blowing* *his hair flustering in the wind, his clothes as well* Try to picture this scene. And don’t forget, it was in “the darkest time” Progress is hard without Jesus , it’s like 3 steps forward and 2 steps backward, it’s SLOW. If you don’t have Jesus on your boat. And the bible says “and the disciples looked and they saw him”, whoa what’s that??! IT’S A GHOST! They said. And Jesus’ answer was, in the Greek “I AM”. THAT’S the name of God. “Don’t be afraid, I AM”. And straight away Peter (who else?) said Lord, if it’s you, “BID ME ...

A LOVE WORTH GIVING

                           These are devastating times: 1.75 billion people are desperately poor, 1 billion are hungry, millions are trafficked in slavery, and pandemic diseases are gouging entire nations. Every year nearly 2 million children are exploited in the global commercial sex trade. And in the 4-5 minutes it took you to read this post, almost ninety died of preventable diseases . More than half of all Africans do not have access to modern health facilities. As a result, 10 million of them die each year from diarrhoea, acute respiratory illness, malaria and measles. Many of those deaths could be prevented by one shot. Yet in the midst of the wreakage, here we stand, the modern day version of the Jerusalem church. You, me, and our one-of-a-kind life times and once-in-history opportunity . Ours is the wealthiest generation of the Christians ever. We are bright, educated, and experienced. We can travel th...
