Peace be Still!

Mark 4:39 NKJV
[39] Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

We thank God for His Word today, the scripture recounts Jesus’ trip with the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was crossing over to the other side after they had ministered powerfully to people, Jesus was therefore tired and asleep.

There arose a severe storm which led the disciples to wake Jesus up and asked Him whether He didn’t care they were perishing. Jesus therefore rebuked the wind and asked it to be still. He also questioned the disciples for their lack of Faith.

The Lord our God is with us in every situation we find ourselves, may we reinforce our belief and trust in Him and He will calm every storm we encounter.

May the Lord reign in every sphere of our lives, may the Lord help us to keep our faith in Him unwavering. May the Lord calm every storm we encounter in Jesus Mighty name. May we enjoy the Peace of God.Amen.

HE IS RISEN!!!

And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen; He is not here. See, [here is] the place where they laid Him.
Mark 16:6 AMP

Thank God for this glorious day in the history of the world. A day to celebrate an unmatched happening. Praise God!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah

He is RISEN!

This is the hope of the believer that one day we shall see Him face to face.

Indeed Christ is Risen! The Power of the Resurrection was such that our Lord Jesus Christ could not remain in the grave. Yes the grave could not hold Him.

He is alive! He is alive! Jesus is alive forever more!

Jesus is indeed Lord of Lords, He conquered death and therefore He is not found among the dead! Glory and Honour be unto the Lord.His resurrection gifts the believer with power that heals, delivers, transforms, liberates and Saves.
Enjoy your Resurrection Power!

May the Power that raised Christ from the dead be released unto us into our innermost beings right now in Jesus name. May the Resurrection bring newness to our lives, experience new beginnings in Jesus name.

My House shall be a house of Prayer

He began to teach and say to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a robbers’ den.”
Mark 11:17 AMP

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

After Jesus’ triumphant entry he sat to teach in the temple and realised that the House of the Lord was being used as a market place. People engaged in selling and buying of animals for sacrifice as well as others involved in money changing. Jesus drove them out and overturned their tables.

Jesus then taught after His action of driving out the traders and money changers. His message emphasised the fact that His Father’s house should be a place of Prayer. A.place to commune with God. To speak to God and to hear from Him.

This scripture emphasises the importance of Prayer in the life of a child of God. We should keep our conversations with God on going at all times, speaking to and listening to God. Just as Bible urges us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

May our communication with the Heavenly Father be constant without any disruption and interruptions. May we never cease to call upon the Lord and make time to hear from Him in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Go into the World and preach the Gospel to all creation

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:15 AMP

Glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

This is the Great Commission that Jesus Christ gave to the disciples and by extension to every child of God after His resurrection and prior to His ascension.

The scripture for today popularly referred to as the Great Commission enjoins all christians to preach the good news of salvation to all and at all times. Just tell someone today that Jesus loves you!

The commission requires that we preach to people, teach them, get them baptized by the Church and follow up on them to ensure they remain and grow in Christ Jesus.

Father we pray for grace to be able to fulfil the great commission in accordance with your Word. May we be preachers and teachers of your Word to get your Word established in the lives of those we preach to in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Take up your Cross and Follow Jesus

Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]. For whoever wishes to save his life [in this world] will [eventually] lose it [through death], but whoever loses his life [in this world] for My sake and the gospel’s will save it [from the consequences of sin and separation from God].
MARK 8:34‭-‬35 AMP

Glory and honour be unto God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Today’s passage is very long and the reason is that Jesus does not want any half hearted people to follow Him so He has taken His time to explain what it takes to follow Him.

Is your mind made up to follow Jesus? Are you ready to deny yourself of the pleasures of this world? Are you ready to sacrifice for the sake of the gospel?

Be ready to follow Jesus Christ’s example by going all out to preach His gospel to all no matter the challenges that come our way. Defying the odds to send the gospel to the world, criticism and allegations, open rebuke and rejection, the absence of resources etc should not hinder the preaching of the Gospel.

Be fully available to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all at all times without any form of holding back.

May God grant us the grace and strengthen our faith to stand firm and hold high the banner of Jesus Christ to the world till His coming. May the Grace to endure to the end locate us in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
