JESUS RESURRECTED AS PROPHESIED; VICTORY EVERMORE! – Luke

resurrected

God’s Prophecies Are Infallible

(Passage: Luke 24)

Jesus Christ resurrected from death to life on the third day he was buried. Christ had already resurrected while his depressed disciples were busy searching for his missing body. God’s angel reminded the disciples of the infallible word of God as the scripture stated that he ought to resurrect from death and live forever!

The event of Jesus’ resurrection was reported,

“Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again’” (Luke 24:1-7). Meanwhile, Jesus himself appeared to some of his disciples after resurrection and he reminded them that God had ordained it that he must resurrect from death (Luke 24:13-16; Luke 24:25-27; Luke 24:36-42).

Jesus’ Death Was For The Salvation Of Many Souls

Jesus Christ resurrected from death to life; Satan lost the battle, and he shall remain defeated forever! The enemy had made his worse onslaught against Jesus, but he did not prevail.

Satan insinuated Jesus’ death with the hope that Christ would be silenced forever; however, he lost his battle over Jesus since death could not hold him to the grace. Christ resurrected on the third day!

Jesus’ resurrection from death has earned the gift of eternal life for his followers. This means whosoever confesses Jesus Christ as his or her personal Lord and Savior will resurrect from death to live eternally with God.

Death and hell do not have power over Christians. Christ will resurrect his believers on the last day, and he will award them eternal life in the presence of God. Hallelujah!

Ever wondered why God will Let Jesus die? I mean, think about it, He’s the supreme God and he let his child die. I’ll tell you why, it’s because he loves us. 👼👂💝 James Taiwo Click to tweet

God let his son die for our sins to earn us freedom. He wanted to free us from Satan’s hold. Therefore, you’ll be considered grateful if you confess Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. 🗣🆓👍

Proclamation Of Jesus’ Glory

Praise God, Jesus Christ resurrected from death! Praise God, the resurrection of Christ has earned me the gift of eternal life! Shame on the devil and glory to God forever more!

I am a believer of Jesus Christ and I am a partaker of his resurrection. Since I am a born-again Christian, sin, and death do not have power over me anymore. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Henceforth, I will live happily and proclaim the gospel of Jesus to everyone around me. I will also preach the gospel throughout the world. Praise God, I am saved through Jesus Christ; I am saved forever! Amen!

SATAN IS OUT TO KILL, TO STEAL, & TO DESTROY – Revelation

Christians Must Be Vigilant And Beware Of Satan’s Spirit

(Passage: Revelation 16)

John saw a revelation that Satan will send out his demonic spirits to operate on a large scale during the period of the end time. Satan’s agents would say mysterious things and perform many wonders to deceive people. Anyone who believes the false spirits would have himself or herself to blame on the last day. Jesus Christ warned all people to be vigilant, and keep themselves pure so that Satan will not deceive them. John’s revelation is written as follows:

“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:13-15).

Be Watchful And Guide Against The Demonic Spirits

Satan will definitely send out his demons to deceive people during the end time period. The scripture warns all people to be vigilant, and avoid falling for Satan’s trap. Whoever falls for the enemy’s trap will suffer irreparable loss. All Satan’s victims will end up in hell fire! To be forewarned is to be forearmed! All people must endeavor to know the truth. We must effectively study the word of God, and we must not believe any teaching or prophecy that lacks bases in the scriptures. Believers must be prayerful, and we must ask God to empower us through his Holy Spirit to always meet the mandate of God.

May you not be disappointed on the Lord’s day of judgment!

The devil is a funny creature. He will go to any length in an attempt to destroy anyone. Even though the enemy knows he can’t win his battle against the children of God, but he will still try. Keep up the faith in God. 🐠✌️👏

GOD’S PRESENCE IS REQUIRED FOR A BLISSFUL MARRIAGE – Matthew

Christian Couples Must Focus Making Their Marriages Work

Passage: Matthew 19

Marriages are meant to be for a lifetime; a divorce option should not be considered as the “money in the bank!”

The Pharisees questioned Jesus Christ on the subject of divorce and referenced the Law of Moses to justify their support for it. Jesus then responded with the scripture and said,

“Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery” (Matthew 19:8-9).

Marriage Requires Maturity & Subservience From Couples

Marriage is the oldest institution that God created. He instituted it for Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God, who started the idea of marriage, still loves the institution today. He prefers marriage to divorce. God expects Christian couples to work out their differences amicably and keep the sanity of their home. God does not want anyone to tamper with the special institution. He wants people to keep to the marriage tradition as an institution that mainly consists of a man and a woman. Homosexuality is not in the language of God for marriage!

God, also, expects married couples to be matured people. They must have a clear understanding of what the institution is about. Married couples must be ready to submit to each other. They must relate to each other in honesty. Also, they must forgive each other to keep the health of their relationship and grow in love.

Married couples must seek the prosperity of their home. They must have mutual respect for each other. Most importantly, married couples must promote the fear of God in their home!

God has ordained marriage as one of the most important institutions; however, for it to work, both parties must be submissive and respectful to each other. Also, God’s guidance is required for a marriage to work.💗💑✌️💪

Pray To God For A Blissful Marriage

Dear God, please give me the grace to be committed to my marriage. Help me to give whatever it takes to make my relationship successful. Please give my spouse and me the ability to submit to each other. Help us to trust and love each other as you loved and died for us! Please enrich my union with every blessing of life. Please let our home radiate the beauty of your goodness, even now and forever more! For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

Remember: God’s Presence Is Required For A Blissful Marriage!

THE PARABLE OF TEN VIRGINS ARE MEANT FOR ALL – Matthew

Preparation Is The Key To Making Heaven

Passage: Matthew 25

Jesus Christ told the story of Ten Virgins to explain what it takes for anyone to qualify for heaven. Christ narrated a story stating that ten virgins wanted to meet their bridegroom: Five of them made adequate preparations while the remaining five lacked the insight to prepare well. The bridegroom came when everyone had least expected; he took away the prepared five virgins and left the unprepared behind to be disappointed. Christ stated his second coming would be similar to this story. Only the prepared Christian will be raptured on the last day. Here is the Bible account of Jesus’ story,

“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut” (Matthew 25:1-10).

Prepare For The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ

We Must Spend Our Lives Complying With The Standard of God

Christians are to make adequate preparations for the second coming of Jesus Christ. We cannot be slothful but prepare and be ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ! Once he comes, he will rapture the prepared Christians to his kingdom.

Believers must do our due diligence to keep fit for the second coming of Jesus Christ so that we won’t be disappointed.

Unfortunately, Christ has said not everyone will have the criterial for heaven; those that will be considered unqualified are the people who failed to make an adequate preparation as Bible required. That is, the nonchalant (those who refused to confess Christ as their Lord) and the unrepentant sinners will not have a portion in God’s kingdom.

It is important that everyone daily live up to the standard of God as they read and meditate from the Bible.

Christians must comply with the standard of God stipulated in the Bible to qualify for the rapture on the last day!

Indeed, our aspiration and efforts to comply with God’s standard will pay off in the end. Jesus will transport us to heaven to forever enjoy his immeasurable benefits.

Jesus said,

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1-3).

As Christians, our aspiration must be to make heaven. To meet this obligation, we must daily live a godly lifestyle, faithfully serve God, and propagate the gospel. 🗣👼✌️

For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

The Chosen Ones Are Those Who Have Confessed Jesus As Lord

Passage: Matthew 25

God designed heaven for everyone, but unfortunately, only a few people would get there. Those who have refused to confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will be disqualified from heaven.

Indeed, the second coming of Jesus Christ will alter all earth activities. Christ’s return will come with some mixed reactions. While the Christians rejoice and welcome their Master, the non-Christians would be left to face their fate of God’s condemnation in hell fire.

People who have rejected the salvation offer of Jesus would be considered as wicked people and be cast to hell. Christ will advocate for his followers as the scripture states,

“All the nations will be gathered before Him (Christ), and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats… Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world… And the wicked people will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” (Matthew 25:32-46).

Unbelievers and Unrepentant Sinners Risk Losing Heaven

The followers of Jesus Christ will receive the gift of eternal life and rejoice with God in heaven! That is, those who have confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will be saved and be raptured to heaven.

Since the Lord’s final day of judgment is imminent, people of all classes and religions must heed the Bible warning that requires all people to confess Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior to be saved.

The second coming of Christ is fast approaching, where does your fate lies? Remember, your righteousness won’t be enough to save you! Be smart and confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Let Him guide you all the way through. 🗣🤦‍♀️👏🔔

Christians Must Keep To The Bible’s Instruction on Forgiveness

(Passage: Matthew 18)

Jesus Christ used the simplest of languages to explain what forgiveness is all about. While Peter struggled with the requirements and wanted to validate his reasoning, Jesus challenged him with some big numbers to keep his common sense in check. However, it wasn’t the numbers that mattered, but the core message passed across. It must be understood that a Christians should not keep any record of an offense, but forgive whoever has wronged them. The Bible reported,

“… Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21-22)”

The Holy Spirit Energizes Us To Forgive Easily

Jesus Christ focused his teachings on the requirements of God’s kingdom, of which forgiveness is one of them. Jesus even taught his disciples to request that God should pardon them, as they release those who have offended them. That is, every child of God must forgive other people to receive the forgiveness of God! Christ himself opened the pathway of forgiveness and salvation for us when he died on the cross for our sins! The scripture testified; “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

Therefore, since we are saved by grace, we ought to extend the same grace to other people by forgiving their offenses. Although it might be difficult to forgive sometimes, we have no choice but to let go offenses. It is, also, the major reason why Christians ought to pray for the empowerment of the Holy Spirit at all times. The Spirit of God will energize us to forgive others and live uprightly with Him!

Forgiveness is one of the most important part of living. You also need to be free of sin to be completely free of any burden. Jesus instructed us to forgive seventy times seven times, which simply means we should forgive always.🏋👏🎏

For in the name of Jesus Christ, I make my requests. Amen.

Faith In Jesus Paves Way For God’s Kingdom

(Passage: John 3)

Christianity is a religion established by God to save people from destruction and grant them an opportunity to obtain God’s eternal peace and joy in heaven. The strength of Christianity cannot be compared to any other religion since the path was created by Jesus-the Son of God.

The religion of Christianity guarantee everlasting life for its observers. People who have confessed Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior will live to enjoy God’s eternal benefits in heaven as the Scripture stated,

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

The Bible also states,

“But as God is faithful, our word to you was not Yes and No. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:18-20).

Christianity Is All About Salvation Of Jesus

Christianity is all about the gospel of Jesus Christ. The religion teaches people to believe in Jesus as the Son of God and confess him as their Lord to be saved. That is, a person must agree that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and personally confess him as Lord to be saved.

Why must a person only go to God through Jesus Christ? The answer is plain and simple: Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6 – NKJV).

Since we are all sinners, we need an advocate on God’s last day of judgment; Jesus will advocate for his followers (the Christians). Anyone who has refused to confess Jesus as his (or her) Lord will lack an advocate on God’s last day of judgment. He (or she) will face the wrath of God and be condemned to hell.

Since “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” it is important that a person has an advocate on God’s day of judgment. Only Jesus Christ can properly defend a sinner since he has died to pay the penalty of humans sins. Only Christ’s followers will have an opportunity to enjoy the benefit of his sacrifice offered.

Hence, it is advisable for everyone to confess Jesus Christ as his (or her) personal Lord and Savior before he dies. There shall be no opportunity of sin confession and repentance after death.

Declare your faith in Jesus Christ to be saved!

Make A Declaration Of Faith

Take a personal decision to confess Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior to be saved. The Bible states,

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).

Don’t hesitate to take the step of salvation. Confess Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior.

The road to heaven is a narrow one and would be difficult for everyone to pass. A quick fix is to express your faith in Jesus Christ! 🚉💝🎖👏

You may not truly understand everything that faith in God can do for you, but be certain that your faith can move the mountains. ✌️🏋💪👏 James Taiwo Click to tweet

CHRISTIANS TO HAVE HONEST BUSINESS WITH GOD – ROMANS

A Christian Must Have Honest Dealings

(Passage: Romans 2)

God despise hypocritical behaviors, but he will honor people who deal with him in honesty. The scripture says “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?” (Rom. 2:1-3).

Lesson on Honest Dealings

God requires all people to do straightforward business with him; he does not want us to play hanky-panky game with him. He expects us to repent from our sins, and operate in holiness. The Creator does not want us to rationalize sins, but he wants us to repent from them. We must also make every necessary restitution as the Holy Spirit convicts us. If we walk uprightly with God, he will relate with us as his children and bless us.

Prayer of Grace to deal Honestly with God and Man

Dear God, please help me to serve you with honesty and walk with you in integrity. Empower me through your Holy Spirit to exercise genuine repentance and make necessary amendment. Let me demonstrate true Christianity so that I can be qualified for your eternal kingdom. For in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

DISILLUSION OF GODDESS DIANA WORSHIPERS – Ephesians

Christianity Reigns Beyond Idolatry

(Passage: Acts 19)

Demetrius who cave materials for the shrine of goddess Diana at Ephesus insinuated an uproar against God’s evangelists. The Ephesians supported Demetrius to defend their idols, and they chanted songs of praise to their goddess Diana (an idol) in protest against God’s evangelists and their gospel messages.

The scripture reported, “When they found out that he (Alexander – one of the evangelist) was a Jew, all with one voice cried out for about two hours, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!” (Acts 19:34).

Common Sense Disdain Idol worship

It is unfortunate to see people who God made dedicating their lives to idol worship. God requires that all people worship him; however, some people still go to any length to defend the forbidden practices of idolatry. Worse still, some people fight for their sake of their gods! They kill others in protest of anyone insulting their deity. However, common sense proves that no one needs to fight to defend his or her god. At least anything worth of worship ought to be strong enough to defend itself! Yet people still kill for the sake of religion defense.

Any god should be allowed to prove itself. Meanwhile, everyone knows that idols are dummy! They can neither talk nor see. It makes sense for people to serve the living God who is the Creator of heaven and earth. He is the only deity worth of worship! All people should submit to God and serve him with contrite heart so that they can obtain his blessing. It is also important that all people accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ. He must be confessed as the only Savior sent by God to save the world from its sins. Anyone who confesses Jesus Christ as Lord shall be saved on God’s last day of judgment.

Christians believe in the living God of heaven as the real God.

Pray for Strength to Serve the Living God

I believe that the living God who lives in heaven and reigns on earth is the real God. I also believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I understand that my faith in Jesus Christ will rescue me from God’s wrath that would come upon this present earth. I strongly believe that there is no other God except the living God and no one can get to his presence without first confessing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and he is the Lord. This is my declaration, and this is my testimony. Amen.

CHRISTIANITY PRESERVES FAMILY – 1 Peter

God Wants Everyone To Play A Role In His/Her Family

(Passage: 1 Peter 3)

Christians are called to be responsible for their families. Everyone in the family has a role to play. The scripture challenged Christians as written,

“Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:1-8 ESV).

God Blesses A Loving Family

Children of God must be responsible and care for the welfare of their family. We must ensure God is glorified in our homes. (1 Peter 3:1-8).

God surely promotes love between family members. He expects us to be kind towards one another. There is no exception to the rule of true love. Believers must love our fellow Christians as Christ loved and died for us all. More importantly, we must love people who are closer to us, which are our family members!

Believers may be indirectly responsible for the welfare of others, but we are directly responsible for the welfare of our family members! Our family deserves the first-class attention from us.

As Christians, we must genuinely express sincere love towards our family members. Husbands must love their wives; wives must love their husbands. Parents must love their children, and children must love and respect their parents. Any child of God who ignores the call to care for his (or her) family is simply not practicing the true Christianity! How can a Christian claim he loves God or other people while he has neglected his family? God definitely despises such practices!

God can only be pleased when a person who claims to love him is not hypocritical. Believers must love family members in a manner that glorifies God. However, it is understood that family members have differences and some families have complicated issues to resolve; however, we must not allow the differences to prevent us from effectively performing our roles.

Every child of God must make a significant effort to put the devil to shame in his (or her) family. We must demonstrate the true and thorough love of Jesus to glorify God.

God loves us and wants us to be happy. He also loves a loving family and will bless us when we play our parts. Our family members are meant to be a backbone of strength and love. It is important that we love our family always.
