The Significance Of The Name “Jesus” 

Sunday 16th February

Text: Matthew 1: 20 - 23 
Key Verse: And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shall call His Name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21
The Name “Jesus” does not refer to the Father; hence, you cannot call the Father “Jesus”. The Name “Jesus” does not refer to the Holy Spirit either, Jesus who is “God the Son” assumes this Name when He came to live on Earth as Man. “Jesus” is a human name, not a divine name. Having understood that the Word is God; in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, John 1: 1, The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…John 1: 14. Here, we can see that the Word became a human being and lived among us. Who is the Word? Jesus Christ! The Word (the Son of God) became flesh (Jesus Christ) and dwelt among us. Only the Person that possesses the Nature of God can have this Glory, John 1: 10-11
The Word became flesh (Jesus Christ); God became a human being and dwelt among us. Jesus was in the world that was made by Him but the world knew Him not. The world rejected Jesus Christ. To reject Him is to reject God, to refuse to come to Him, is to refuse to come to your Creator. To persecute those who believe in Him; and those who pledge loyalty, service, and obedience to Him, is to fight against your Creator. The name ‘Jesus’ was not God’s Eternal Name. That name which means “Saviour” did not exist before mankind came into this world. Before the creation and fall of man, there was no need for salvation or a Saviour. The Name became important because Jesus came into the world to “save His people from their sins.” Indeed, Jesus is an earthly name because there were other people who bore that name. Anybody can bear the name which means “God is our Saviour” or “God is my Saviour.” To refuse Jesus is to refuse God your Maker; the one that gave breathe to you. If you refuse Him, where will you go? If you refuse the One that made this world, where will you go? What is your hope for the future?  
Thought For The Day: The Name Jesus which means “Saviour” did not exist before mankind came into this world. Jesus Christ came because of you.
Song For The Day: Everlasting Father, Everlasting Son, Immortal Holy Ghost…… 
Bible Reading For The Day: Numbers 22-24

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...
