Salvation Is For ALL Men – Friday December 16, 2011 – Pastor Chris

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Romans 10:9).
 
Some people believe salvation is only for certain people; that God already numbered those that’ll be saved, and those reserved for eternal damnation; but that’s not true. You might then ask, “So what did Jesus mean when He said, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him…” (John 6:44). Doesn’t that mean the Father appoints some people to salvation, and separates some others unto destruction?” No. Salvation is for all men. God’s desire is for ALL men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.
 
In John 3:16, the Bible didn’t say, “For God so loved some men…” rather it says “For God so loved the world…” the world of men, ALL men, including women, boys and girls. The Father’s love is for the whole world; the world of sinners. So when Jesus said “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him… (John 6:44), the right question to ask is, “How does God draw men unto Himself?”
 
The answer is in the forty-fifth verse of the same John 6 that says, “It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.” God draws men to Himself through His Word; through His message as encapsulated in the Gospel. When the Gospel is preached, those who hear, believe it, and endorse it by confessing the Lordship of Jesus Christ over their lives are drawn. So the choice as to who receives salvation rests with every individual.
 
In Paul’s letter to Timothy, he said “…God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4). This is the very reason we herald the message of the Gospel. As you plan your vacations and visitations this Christmas time, have the Gospel in mind. Make it a memorable Christmas for those around you who are yet to receive salvation, letting them know it’s God’s desire for them to receive the best gift of all, this Christmas – eternal life.
 
The Bible says “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). You’re that preacher to those in your world; to bring them the glorious news of Christ’s salvation.
 
Prayer
Thank you dear heavenly Father for the immense love you clearly demonstrated in sending Jesus to be the propitiation for my sins, thus making me a participator in the divine experience. I’m most grateful for this glorious privilege, in Jesus Name. Amen

He Came That You Might Have Life! – Thursday December 15, 2011 – Pastor Chris

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10).
 
Jesus came so you might have life. There are different kinds of life on planet earth. There’s the animal life, the plant life, the human life, aquatic life etc. When a man is born into this world, he’s born with human life. The human life is however not sufficient because man is a spirit-being and needs the supernatural life to function in his full potentials. That’s the reason Jesus came; to give us another kind of life – eternal life – the God-life.
 
When you’re born again, you become a partaker of this new and glorious life. This is the very life of God. It is the very essence of divinity. This is the life Jesus has given us in abundance. He said in John 5:26 “…as the Father has life in Himself, even so has He given to the Son to have life in Himself.” Then in 1 John 5:11, the Apostle John lets us know that anyone who has received Jesus as Lord has this life. When you’re born again you have the same life that Jesus has in its fullness. This life is sickness-proof, disease-proof, poverty-proof and failure-proof. It’s a life of glory, victory, success and excellence.
 
Religion would have us believe we can only receive this life when we get to heaven, but that’s not true. The Bible makes it clear that you received this life the moment you received Jesus as Lord of your life (John 1:12-13). Man in all his natural intelligence, goodness and kindness is nothing before the Lord, until he receives this glorious life in Him.
 
You can become a partaker of this glorious, supernatural life right now by asking Jesus to be the Lord of your life. When you receive this life, it doesn’t matter for how long you may have suffered with ulcer, cancer, paralysis, HIV or diabetes; you will be healed! Every wound in your body that has defied medications will close up! Nothing of the devil can stay in you once you embrace the transcendent life that’s in Christ Jesus.
 
Confession
I have the life and nature of God in me; therefore I’m an overcomer and more than a conqueror. I live a triumphant and victorious life today, far above the devil and the negative systems of this world! Praise God!

Faith By The Spirit – Wednesday December 14, 2011 – Pastor Chris

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).
 
The Lord Jesus, teaching His disciples about faith said “Have the faith of God” (Mark 11:22). He wanted the disciples to have the same kind of faith that God applies. Genesis 1 gives an insight into the operation of this kind of faith. There, we see God apply this supernatural faith in recreating and restoring order to the earth after it became a dark chaotic mass. In the midst of the darkness and chaos God said: “Let there be light,” and light became! (Genesis 1:3). He recreated the earth and restored order, beauty and form to it by releasing words of faith.
 
But strikingly, the latter part of Genesis 1:2 highlights the role of the Holy Spirit in the entire process: “…The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:2 AMP). The Holy Spirit brooded over the earth that had been in shambles, incubating upon it, in anticipation of the creative word of faith from God. Hence, when God spoke, whatever He said came to be! For your confessions of faith to be effective and produce undeniable results, you have to operate through the Spirit.
 
In Luke 24:49, Jesus had to request the disciples to wait in the city of Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came upon them, they received supernatural enablement to preach and teach the Word of God. As a result, their faith proclamations were anointed by the Spirit. From then on their words were impregnated with power, which resulted in salvation, healing and deliverance in the lives of those who heard them.
 
Be filled with the Spirit, and bring the ministry of the Holy Spirit to bear on any situation. When you introduce His operation into your faith by meditation, and prayer (Jude 1:20), you concentrate His influence on such situation and set the power of God into motion to cause your faith-filled words to produce the desired results.
 
Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for the ability to cause changes in the circumstances of my life by speaking forth your words by the Spirit. I declare positive and tremendous changes in my finances, health, family and work, because the Holy Spirit anoints my faith proclamations, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
 
Further Study
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
 
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 AMP
And my language and my message were not set forth in persuasive (enticing and plausible) words of wisdom, but they were in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit and power [a proof by the Spirit and power of God, operating on me and stirring in the minds of my hearers the most holy emotions and thus persuading them], So that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men (human philosophy), but in the power of God.

Stir Up Yourself – Tuesday December 13, 2011 – Pastor Chris
But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20 AMP).
 
You may have wondered how come there’re some Christians who are often intimidated or overwhelmed by the circumstances of life. They easily become afraid when challenged by unpleasant situations, thereby making themselves vulnerable to the fierce attacks of the enemy. The reason for this is not that such believers don’t have faith, for every Christian has been given the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). But the real problem is that many who find themselves in such situations have allowed the power of the Holy Spirit lie dormant in them.
 
2 Corinthians 4:7 says, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” So there’s no question as to whether or not the power of God is in you, for it is! But you must stir up that power within you continually, otherwise it will be inactive. You’re to make that inherent ability and divine energy in your spirit available for use anytime you want. That power is stirred as you meditate and talk the Word, and, as you pray fervidly in tongues.
 
God expects us to function in the earth with His power. He wants you to learn and know how to activate His power in you as much as He wants you to learn about faith and how faith works. When you study 2 Timothy 1:5-6, you’ll discover something striking. Right after the Apostle Paul commended Timothy, his grandmother Lois, and his mother Eunice for their unfeigned faith, he charged Timothy to stir up the power of God in him. There, Paul was talking about the power of the Holy Sprit that Timothy received when he (Paul) laid hands on him (Read 2 Timothy 1:5-6).
 
This means it’s possible for someone to have faith yet have the Holy Spirit’s power remain latent in his spirit. Most of the attacks the devil launches against people are either against the body or the soul. So that power shouldn’t only remain in your spirit. You have to stir it up until it inundates your soul and permeates your physical body. That way, you’re able to ward off whatever attack satan launches against you.
 
When you’re stirred, the anointing will surge through every fibre of your being; from your spirit, to your soul, and your body. There’ll be an influx of the power of the Holy Spirit into your mind, will, emotions, and it will move through your whole body, causing you to be immune to the vices of the enemy.
 
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who resides in me, filling me with miracle-working power. My spirit is inundated with the anointing, such that it permeates my soul and moves upon my physical body, thereby making me invulnerable everyday to the assaults of the devil, and victorious everyday in Jesus’ Name Amen.

Passion For The “Christless!” – Monday December 12, 2011 – Pastor Anita

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).
 
In writing to the Christians in Ephesus, the Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 2:12 took time to describe the gloomy picture, and abysmal hopelessness of their previous state without Christ: “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:” This is the condition of the christless-man – he’s excluded and disconnected from the covenants of promise; totally alienated from the life of God.
 
This description of the christless presented to us in the Word is one that should provoke you to prayer and stir your spirit to preach the Gospel. As I thought about the extent of darkness, despair and hopelessness of the unregenerate man, I made the commitment to tell the whole world about Jesus, and I have been at. Every now and then I’m stirred with deep passion to intercede for the lost souls in the world. Nothing matters more to me than to see those for whom Jesus died brought into their inheritance in Him. And I’m so thankful to the Lord for many around the world who have been touched and saved by the vast opportunities given to us to preach the gospel, and minister healing to the nations of the world.
 
This is all there is to live for; being passionate about the message of the Gospel that has been committed to our trust (1 Timothy 1:11). Decide today to be a faithful steward of this glorious Gospel: “Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:1-2).
 
Respond today to the impressions of the Holy Spirit in your heart to cause a change by interceding for the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ to shine in the hearts of the unconverted around you. Remember, the Lord is unwilling that any should perish, but that all men should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Stir up your passion today.
 
Prayer
Dear Father, I rejoice in you for the opportunity to intercede for the christless around the world and have them touched by your Spirit and transformed into the image of Christ. I thank you for the light of the glorious Gospel which is shining brightly in the hearts of men, destroying the shackles of darkness. My passion for lost souls is stirred today with renewed commitment, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

A Burning And A Shining Light! – Saturday December 10, 2011 – Pastor Chris

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world (Philippians 2:15).
 
In John 5:35, the Lord Jesus points out something beautiful in the character of John the Baptist: “He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.” What a description; coming from the lips of the Master Himself!
 
Not every light is a burning and a shining light. Some are cool and dull, but Jesus gave witness that John was a burning and a shining light. And because John was a burning and a shining light, other people rejoiced in his light, so they could see with it. Do you know you can have the Lord describe you this way, within the context of your service to Him? Sure! Make up your mind to be not just a light, for you’re already the light of the world. Rather, be a burning and a shining light.
 
The way to burn and shine is by being effective in the things the Lord has called you to do. The Bible says “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). To be a burning and a shining light means you’re fervent, agile and enthusiastic about spiritual things. From sun up to sun down, the Gospel is paramount on your mind. It’s impossible for you to keep quiet; all you think and talk about is world evangelism. It brings to mind the words of the Prophet Jeremiah: “But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay” (Jeremiah 20:9).
 
When you’re a burning and a shining light, every encounter with you by those who don’t know Christ is an unforgettable moment with divinity. You’re afire with the Gospel twenty-four hours a day; you’re perpetually high on the Holy Ghost. This is how God expects you to live, as one who’s fervent in soul-winning and prayer for lost souls!
 
As a burning and a shining light, you seek to touch everyone with the power of God. When there’s a need in the ministry, you’re there to give of your time, efforts and resources. This is how to burn and shine for the Lord. Before long, others will come and rejoice in your light; they’ll hear your inspiring testimonies and be stirred to pray and make impact just like you.
 
Confession
Dear Father, thank you for the ministry of your Word in my life. The Word is like a burning fire shut up in my bones. I can’t hold it back; I’ll promote and publish it everywhere with fervency until it engulfs my world. I’m a burning and a shining light and many are coming to bask in the brightness of my light, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Power Is In You! – Thursday December 8, 2011 – Pastor Chris

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them. (Luke 5:17).
 
As revealed in our opening verse above, the Lord Jesus was teaching on a certain day and the power of the Lord was present to heal. The healing power blanketed the atmosphere over the people. This refers to the presence of the Holy Spirit; the anointing and power of God to heal the sick.
 
It’s important however to note that just because the power was present to heal didn’t mean everybody present there that day got healed. Rather, it was those who acted their faith that received healing. The story of the man that was taken with palsy in verses 18-21 of the same chapter gives credence to this fact. It says, “And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee” (Luke 5:19-20). Note that the Master responded when He “saw their faith.”
 
Also, the woman with the issue of blood took advantage of the presence of this same tangible healing power at work in the Lord Jesus (Mark 5:28). She released her faith and took a hold of her healing by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment. The Lord approved of her action and commended her faith thus: “And he said unto her, Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague” (Mark 5:34).
 
As a child of God, you carry the presence of the Holy Spirit; the power of God in and around you (John 14:17). So, to confront your challenges and bring about the desired change, act your faith today. Stir up that power by speaking in other tongues, and effect the changes you desire.
 
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your Word assures me of divine health and a glorious life of victory in Christ Jesus. Virtue flows through every fibre of my being today, as I release my faith to the presence of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name Amen.
