TOPIC: FAITH IS BASED ON THE NAME OF JESUS
SEPTEMBER Sunday 16th
TEXT: Acts 3:1-7
KEY VERSE: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4: 12
Faith is based on the name of Jesus. Act 3:16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Sometime ago, HOREMOW brethren went to hire speakers for a crusade that was coming up in Benin City. As they negotiated, they told the man it was for a crusade where Pastor Rika would be ministering. The man said he would give out the speakers at N60,000. Meanwhile, there was a woman standing nearby who overheard the discussion. She was excited when she heard that Pastor Rika was coming to town. She came over and said, “You mean pastor Rika that I have been enjoying his message is coming to town? I am giving a donation of N50,000 for the speaker.” That was just the name of Pastor Rika, not Jesus. Who is pastor Rika that his name would be so honoured? If the name of men could open doors, how much more the Name of Jesus, the Name that is above every other name. Jesus says, “Ask the Father anything in my name.”
The requirement of faith is that you believe without seeing. Do not practice your Christianity like Thomas who only believed after seeing. Believing without seeing produces great result. In our days, faith has been perverted. It has been put away and overthrown. 1 Timothy 1:19 “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck.” Some healing, deliverance and prosperity ministers have overthrown the faith of many in the church by introducing various objects to replace faith in Jesus. They have introduced sand from River Jordan, holy water, anointing oil, aprons, handkerchiefs, combs etc. 2 Timothy 2:17-18 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. They have turned to idols. Spirit of error is performing miracles. God is not there. God cannot be in competition with idols.
Thought for the day: Jesus is the object of faith.
Song for the day: In the name of Jesus every knee shall bow
Bible reading for the day:
Proverbs 30-31; 2 Corinthians 8
