SEEK IN THE RIGHT PLACES.

SEEK IN THE RIGHT PLACES.

Scriptural Highlight: (Luke 24:5-6 KJV) - "And they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,"

When Jesus was with His disciples before His crucification, He spoke of His death. He also spoke of His resurrection from the dead on the third day. But when the prophecy came to fulfillment, the disciples seemed to be lagging behind. These women religiously came to do their good work of anointing Jesus' body. They hoped to find His dead body, when the tide had already turned. The other day it was ok; but this day, no; they were lagging behind prophecy. They are now seeking the living among the dead. He has risen and has no more business with the grave.
The angels had to remind them the words of Jesus again, how Jesus spoke to them of His resurrection when He was yet in Galilee. Beloved, isn't it  true that sometimes God's words will come to us over certain situations and yet we'll still be searching for answers at the wrong places. The resurrection of Jesus is the birth into a life of victory and dominion for the church but the defeated lives many lead, is a sign that many are seeking the living among the dead. It's a sign that many, just like these disciples, have forgotten the words of Jesus. There is need for revival. We need to remind ourselves again who Jesus is and what He represents for the church.
Bible clearly states that in the last days the love of many shall wax cold because iniquity shall abound. Beloved, Jesus is still real. He is still the same yesterday, today and forever. He can't change, even if the whole world grows cold. He promised He will come again in power to rapture the Church. His words will still come to pass again. I pray that we'll not be found among those lagging behind when He comes again. Flourish!
Pray: Lord, open my eyes to your word in Jesus name

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the...

Make Alliance With Righteous Causes

Scriptural Highlight: ( 2Kings 9:17 ) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me." Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight...
