YOU CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY WORK OUTSIDE OF GOD'S PLAN

-
In the Bible book of Jeremiah 29:11-13, God says, "I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about the future you hope for. Then you will call to me. You will come and pray to me, and I will answer you. You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart."

Dear friend, the above Scripture summarizes today's message. It is only God our Father Almighty that has the best plans for us because He is our Creator. Anyone who tries to live outside of His plans would surely meet with disaster and failure.

The reason for this is because God is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. He has unlimited power, unlimited knowledge and He is present everywhere. He alone is in charge of the entire Universe and absolutely nothing can withstand His Great and Mighty Power.

An example of the consequence of not walking in line with God's plans is seen in His message to the Israelites in Jeremiah 2:17-19, "Israel, you brought this on yourself! You deserted me, the Lord your God, while I was leading you along the way.

What do you think you will gain by going to Egypt to drink water from the Nile? What do you think you will gain by going to Assyria to drink water from the Euphrates? Your own evil will punish you, and you turning from me will condemn you.

You will learn how bitter and wrong it is to abandon me, the Lord your God, and no longer remain loyal to me. I, the Sovereign Lord Almighty, have spoken."

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ told His Apostles as He tells us today in John 15:1-4, "I am the real Vine, and my Father is the Gardener. He breaks off every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, and He prunes every branch that does bear fruit.

You have been made clean already by the teaching I have given you. Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the Vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in Me."

Dear friend, we have a God who created the Universe and all things in it include the heavens and the earth. This God has a Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who because of His immense love for mankind left His Majestic Throne in heaven, came to earth, took the form of a human being and died for our sins on the Cross of Calvary to reconcile us to God the Father from the sin of disobedience of our first parents Adam and Eve.

This same Lord Jesus Christ reminds us today of His love and tells us to seek Him diligently, find Him in His Word (The Holy Bible), come to Him, remain united in Him and only then will we bear abundant fruit by the Power of His Holy Spirit.

If you must succeed in life without challenges that initially appear insurmountable, you have to obey this Gospel message of Jesus Christ and trust fully in Him because He can NEVER, EVER disappoint you.

Jesus loves us as our Creator and He is always there to assist whenever we call on Him. Challenges in life are sure to happen, but Jesus says He will see us through every single one because it is only Him that is able to do this. No one else and nothing else can.

Dear friend, please accept Jesus today and let Him become the Lord and Master of your life. You will never regret it. As Jesus says, without Him, you can do nothing (John 15:5b).

God bless you as you heed His Word, accept, act on it and share with others in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Gabriel Ama.

ARE YOU A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Romans 14:12-13 (AMPC)   “ And so each of us shall give an account of himself [give an answer in reference to judgment] to God.   13 Then let us no more criticize and blame and pass judgment on one another, but rather decide and endeavour never to put a stumbling block or an obstacle or a hindrance in the way of a brother.”   Dear people of God, a few years ago, we were asked to share invitation flyers to the public in an area where one of our local church parishes was to open newly.   I recall giving one of the flyers to a lady who asked me the name of the church and when I mentioned it, she said “God forbid.” When I asked why she rejected the flyer, she did not respond.   Obviously, some member of the church she knows must have caused her offence and this stirred up hatred in her for the church.   Recently, a friend told me how in his church the pastor made a commitment towards a church project but never fulfilled it.   It ha...

HOW DO YOU CONTROL VIOLENCE IN PEOPLE?

Hebrews 12:14 (AMPC)  “ Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration  and holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord.”   Dear people of God, I read sometime in December 2019 ago of a police inspector in Nigeria who shot and killed his colleague, a corporal, and the same shot injured another colleague, a deputy Superintendent of police after which the police inspector took his own life.   What could have led to such violence?   I also read of another unfortunate story of a lady killed December 25, 2019, Christmas Day, by her husband who had beaten her to a coma and then ran away after discovering what he had done. The police have since found and arrested him.   Reports have it that the man was fond of beating his late wife at the slightest provocation, which has eventually led to her death in this latest incident.   Again, what could have caused this incessant violence?   Medical experts claim that humans have 2 s...

GOD CANNOT VIOLATE HIS WORD

-
  Psalm 89:34  “My covenant I will not violate, nor will I alter the utterance of My lips.” Dear people of God, today’s lead Bible text in Psalm 89:34 is a profound statement by God Almighty and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. What this statement from God means is that there is nothing He has said in His Word that He will fail to perform. A sensible Christian who understands this will look for what God has said by careful, meditative study of God’s Word found only in the Holy Bible, thank God joyously for it, claim it and God will surely perform what His Word has stated. I make bold to say here that the Christian who does not study the Word of God in the Holy Bible to claim the promises therein is only cheating himself of herself. Jesus Christ in one of His divine visits to late Pastor Kenneth E. Hagin (while alive on earth) told him that there are many Christians who are sincere and living right but they do not get what they ask for in pra...
