Thursday November 2 (All Souls Day) Bible Reading:     John 5: 24 - 29 Topic:                  Life Through Obedience In vs. 25 - 29, Jesus specifically indentifies Himself as the long awaited Messiah Who is both the "Life-Giver" and the "Life-Bringer". He uses the Power of His Words to bring new life to those who are spiritually dead with no consciousness of sin or sorrow for their rebellion against God. Do you find yourself in that situation? The good news is that Jesus Christ has the Power to redeem you and give you new life if you respond to His invitation to make Him Lord of your life. However, Jesus also warns that those who refuse His invitation now will face condemnation in future and will face an eternity outside of Christ. Basically what we do with Jesus here decides how and where we will spend eternity. If you are reading th...

Thursday September 28 Bible Reading:     John 6: 22 - 27 Topic:                  Labour For The Food That Endures Forever Jesus said to the woman of Samaria "everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst, indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life" (John 4: 13 - 14) After the feeding of the 5000 and the twelve baskets of left-overs, the crowds were soon hungry again. They frantically searched for Jesus to satisfy their physical hunger. Jesus challenged their focus on physical food and refused to allow them to call His agenda by moving to another place. Paul warned the Philippian Christians, "for as I have often told you before, many live as enemies of the Cross of Christ; their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, thei...

Tuesday September 26 Bible Reading:     John 6: 1 - 14 Topic:                  He Cared Also For Their Physical Needs Great crowd (mixed multitude) often thronged the Ministry of Jesus. Many sought Him for bread, a few for Words of Eternal Life. Jesus ministered to all of them. In the days of Jesus, there were many who lacked basic necessities of life, even as it is today in our Country and Africa in general. A good number of these people are in our Churches and in our outreach programmes. They are hungry, neglected by the society, sick, harassed and seriously buffeted by the troubles of life. They are looking for help. Even those who have had opportunities of being educated are not spared. Many years after graduation, there are no jobs; some of our youths are expressing their total discontent by taking to criminal activities like ar...

Sunday April 30 Second Sunday After Easter Bible Reading:      1 Cor. 15: 20 - 28 Topic:          The Order Of Resurrection Yesterday we saw that the resurrection of the dead is real. Today, Paul adds another dimension with regard to who will be raised, why and how! He links the resurrection of the dead to the second coming of Christ. He distinguishes between those in Adam (all of humanity who inherited Adam's sin nature) and those in Christ. As long as one remains in that state, he is appointed to die once and after that judgment (Heb. 9: 27) As for those who are in Christ, Gal. 3: 26 - 27 says they will be raised for eternal dwelling with Jesus when He comes again. Every Christian has passed through death into life in this life because he has been buried with Jesus and subsequently raised with Him, in order to walk in hope of a bodil...
