He Did It For Us 2

He Did It For Us 2
Philippians 2:7 – but emptied himself of his glory by taking the form of a slave, when he was born in the likeness of men.

Heirs of God, I greet you in Jesus name. Today we are looking at the part two of the topic [the part one can be found by clicking HERE].

Can you see what Christ did from the above scripture? Have you ever heard or seen that a human empties himself or herself for the betterment and good of another? Jesus emptied Himself of His glory for our sakes. Also, He took the form of a salve for our sake too. He was born in the likeness of man, received all the strokes, insult and humiliation for our sake, Isaiah 53:4-12.

Beloved, what Christ did for us is just too much that one’s mouth can’t explain or quantify it. We have only but to appreciate Christ Jesus and God for what was done for us. In appreciation of what Christ’s did for us we have to do something for Him. This is done by simply keying to the ministry of reconciliation [to reconcile the unsaved to God]; 2 Corinthians 5:18; which is also the last command of Jesus to His disciplines [you and I are Christ’s disciples today in this world]; Mark 16:15-16.

I pray that the grace not to take what Christ’s did for us for granted be given unto us. I pray that the grace to be God’s representatives (ambassadors) and reconcilers be given unto us, in Jesus name – Amen!

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
