TOPIC: ETERNAL LIFE IS ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST April Monday 13th
Text: 1 John 1:1-2
Key verse: 1 John 5:12 He that hath the son hath life; and he that hath not the son of God hath not life.

In today’s reading text, John the beloved was describing Jesus Christ as the Word of life and eternal life. The eternal life that man lost in the garden of Eden was restored through Jesus Christ. Therefore, if you have Jesus you have eternal life and you are guaranteed of living forever with God. Eternal life is different from eternal living. Eternal life is the pleasant side of life or the blessed side of life. Eternal living on the other hand is the horrible and terrible condition of the soul of a sinner in hell. This is the worst state of life where God has no dealing with him and mercy or help is foreclosed forever. Eternal life is only in Jesus Christ and that is what makes Christianity a unique religion. It is not just a religion but it is the right way of life here on the earth. This is because eternal life or everlasting life is the life of God, the life of peace, the life of joy, the life of comfort, the life of satisfaction, the life of glory, the life of contentment and the life of pleasantness. The eternal life that man lost in the garden is restored in Jesus. If you have Jesus, then eternal life is restored to you; and if you are walking with Jesus, it means when you die, you will go to heaven straight away. There you will live forever with God in heaven. 

As you are alive now on earth, at the rapture you will never die, but be taken alive in a transformed body into heaven and will remain alive there forever with God enjoying the bliss of heaven. When the LORD told Adam in the garden that the day he ate of this tree he would die, God was not just referring to physical existence on earth. Rather, the death God was talking about has dual implications. First as for man’s physical body on earth, it shall no longer live forever but shall cease to exist at some point and go into extinction. But as for the soul that God breathed into man, that soul does not die as in ceasing to exist in eternity. But in eternity, there are two kinds of life: one is eternal life for the righteous in heaven and the other is eternal living for the wicked in hell. Your spiritual state at the time of death determines your eternal destiny.

Thought for the day: Eternal life in Jesus Christ makes Christianity a unique religion.
Song for the day: He is alive Amen
Bible reading for the day:
1 Samuel 13-14; Luke 14:1-24

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
