"Gratitude at the Heart: A Thanksgiving Reflection on Christ's Abundant Blessings"

Good morning, friends and family

Today, as we gather to celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving, it is essential to pause and reflect deeply on the significance of this occasion. Thanksgiving is more than just a holiday marked by feasting and festivities; it is a profound opportunity to express our gratitude for the blessings in our lives. However, amid the hustle and bustle of our celebrations, we must remember to place Christ at the very center of our gratitude. For it is through Him that we find the true essence of thankfulness.

As we look around at the abundance of food on our tables, the warmth of our homes, and the love of family and friends, we must acknowledge that all these blessings are gifts from God. Each moment of joy, each success, and even the challenges we face are woven into the intricate tapestry of our lives by the loving hands of our Creator. It is easy to give thanks during times of prosperity and happiness, but it takes a heart anchored in faith to express gratitude even in the midst of trials and tribulations.

The scripture reminds us to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). This passage invites us to embrace a mindset of gratitude that transcends our immediate circumstances. Whether we are experiencing peaks of joy or valleys of hardship, we can find reasons to be thankful. The good and the bad alike shape us, teach us, and help us grow closer to God.

As Christians, we must also remember that we are not called to perfection; rather, we are called to salvation. Our journey of faith is one marked by grace and the understanding that we are all imperfect beings in need of divine mercy. Each day, we are reminded of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, who took upon Himself our burdens and sins, allowing us to experience the gift of salvation. It is through His love and grace that we have the strength to navigate life's challenges and the wisdom to appreciate our blessings.

Today, as I reflect on my own life, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative power of faith. I give thanks to my Lord and Savior, who has pulled me out of the chaos of everyday life and provided me with a sense of purpose and direction. It is in His embrace that I find solace and strength, knowing that I am never alone in my struggles.

Let us take a moment to bow our heads and express our gratitude to God for the myriad blessings He has bestowed upon us. Let us thank Him for the gift of life, for the love of family and friends, and for the promise of hope and redemption through Jesus Christ. May we also remember to extend our gratitude beyond our immediate circle, reaching out to those who may be struggling, sharing the love and light of Christ with others.

As we celebrate this Thanksgiving, let us commit to making Christ the focal point of our gratitude, recognizing that every good gift comes from above. May our hearts overflow with thankfulness and our lives reflect the love of our Savior in all that we do. Happy Thanksgiving!

All my love in Christ,

In these perilous times, the devil seeks to destroy marriages and families, knowing that a divided home weakens the foundation of God’s design for His people.

Jesus warned in Matthew 12:25, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and this includes our marriages and families.

Instead of fighting with one another, we must fight for our families, standing united against the spiritual forces that seek to tear us apart (Ephesians 6:12).

In the last days, as Matthew 24:12 says, And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold, and the enemy will use division and strife to destroy what God has ordained in marriage and family.

But we are called to resist the devil’s schemes, and in 1 Peter 3:7, husbands and wives are instructed to honor and love one another, that your prayers be not hindered.

We are also reminded in Colossians 3:13-14, Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another... above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness

Let us remember, as we face these end times, that we must endure together in our marriages and families, standing firm in faith and love, as we await Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).

3 MAIN THINGS ABOUT CHRISTIANITY, Culled From Dipo Toby Alakija Illustrative Sermon Book
There was great Scottish essayist and historian called Thomas Cartyle. He married his loving and adorable secretary called Jane Welsh. She worked for him until she had a cancer. Though he loved her very much but he didn't seem to notice what she was going through until she was confined to bed. Imagine the pain of cancer and loneliness she was subjected to while her husband was busy with his creative works that constantly took him away from her. She later died. Thomas went to her room after her funeral and found her diary on the table. He picked it up and began to read the pages inside. She wrote in one of the pages these words, “yesterday he (Thomas) spent an hour with me and it was like heaven: I love him so much….” In another page, he read, “I've listened all day to hear his steps in the hall, but now it's late and I guess he won't come today.” Then it dawned on Thomas that he was not there when she needed him most which was during the period of her sickness. He realized that if only he had been there for her, she would have probably lived a little longer.
Thomas was never the same again after reading the heart breaking entries of his wife. He made little attempt to write again.
The story of Thomas and his wife can be compared with many people whom God loves so much that He gave His only begotten Son to die for them as John 3:16 tells us but they care less about Him until it is too late. The only difference between the story of Thomas and that of God is that it is man who needs God. Thus to respond to the love of God and grow in Christ, three things in 1 Thessalonians 1:3 must be applied or exhibited in the life of every Christian. The passage in the Bible says, “Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father.” The tree things are as follow:
1. Works Of Faith: Christians need to work to show forth their faith in Jesus Christ because the Bible says in James 2:20, “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” Such work includes: (i) Walking in the Spirit so that they do not fulfil the lust of the flesh as in Galatians 5:16. (ii) Preaching the Gospel to everybody as commanded by Jesus Christ in Mark 16:15-16. (Iii) Doing good to others. The Bible says in James 4:17, “Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.”
2. Labour Of Love: Jesus set example of this labour of love as He went about ministering to the spiritual and other needs of the people. Apart from the uttermost sacrifice He made on the cross of Calvary, He paid other sacrifices so that others can be blessed. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might be rich.” This establishes the fact that part of Christians' labour of love is to make sacrifices of their time, talents, money and other things so that others can be blessed.
3. Patience Of Hope: If a Christian's hope is only in what is seen, it is no longer hope, according to Romans 8:24 which says, “For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man see, why does he yet hope for?” Secondly the hope in God brings about patience and even joy in tribulation. The Bible says in Romans 12:12, “Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.”
I pray that none of us will be declared unfit to inherit the kingdom of God in Jesus' name.

The 700 Year Old Biblical Prophecy Of ISAIAH Was FINALLY Fulfilled

09/12/2024

In these times, we must recognize that spiritual warfare is real. The enemy seeks to distort the truth and weaken our stand on God’s Word. One of his most subtle tactics is to water down the Gospel to fit the current culture, and we cannot fall for it. 🛑

📖 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8, KJV)

If it was a sin 100 years ago, it’s still a sin today. The truth of God's Word never changes, no matter how the world may try to redefine right and wrong. 🌍💔 The enemy wants us to compromise, to be silent, and to water down the Gospel for a generation that’s offended by truth.
But we must stand firm! The battle is for the hearts and minds of people. We must declare the unchanging truth of God boldly! 🔥

📖 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...” (Romans 1:16, KJV)

In this spiritual battle, we cannot afford to be silent or ashamed. We must speak the truth in love, regardless of the offense it may cause, for the Gospel is the only weapon that can save souls! ✝️

📖 “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness...” (Ephesians 6:14, KJV)

The battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces seeking to distort and attack the truth. So, let us rise up, wear the armor of God, and stand firm in the truth of the Gospel!

"Obeying God in a Conflicted World: The Call to Prioritize Divine Authority"

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

In the heart of the Christian faith lies a profound understanding of obedience—an obedience that is not merely about following rules or traditions but is deeply rooted in a relationship with God. The phrase "We must obey God rather than men," found in Acts 5:29, echoes through the ages as a powerful proclamation of the priority of divine authority over human authority. This assertion, spoken by the apostles Peter and the other apostles in response to the Sanhedrin's commands to cease preaching the gospel, encapsulates the very essence of what it means to live as a follower of Christ in a world that often presents conflicting demands.

To comprehend the weight of this statement, we must first recognize the context in which it was spoken. The early church was birthed in a time of persecution and opposition. The apostles had witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus, and now they found themselves in a similar predicament, facing threats from the religious leaders who sought to silence their testimony about the resurrection and the transformative power of Jesus. Despite the pressure to conform to societal expectations and the fear of retribution, the apostles boldly declared their commitment to God’s mission. Their response serves as a clarion call for all believers throughout history to prioritize obedience to God above all earthly authorities.

Obedience to God is a theme that permeates the Scriptures, from the earliest accounts of humanity’s relationship with the Creator to the teachings of Jesus and the epistles of the apostles. It is woven into the fabric of the narrative of faith, where figures like Abraham, Moses, and the prophets exemplified lives marked by unwavering commitment to God's commands, often in the face of significant opposition. For instance, Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac (Genesis 22) was not merely an act of obedience but a testament to his profound trust in God’s goodness and faithfulness. Similarly, Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, confronting Pharaoh with the command of God, declaring, “Let my people go” (Exodus 5:1). In both instances, their obedience was not born out of blind adherence to rules but from a deep relational understanding of who God is and what He desires for His people.

In our contemporary context, the call to obey God rather than men remains equally relevant and challenging. Society is often marked by shifting values and moral relativism, where the standards of right and wrong are dictated by popular opinion, political correctness, or cultural norms. As believers, we are frequently confronted with situations in which obeying God’s commands may put us at odds with societal expectations. This could manifest in various forms, such as standing firm in our convictions about marriage and sexuality, advocating for the sanctity of life, or speaking out against injustice and oppression. In such moments, the words of Acts 5:29 serve as a powerful reminder that our allegiance ultimately lies with God, who is the ultimate source of truth and righteousness.

The implications of this obedience extend beyond mere personal conviction; they challenge us to consider the broader impact of our actions on the world around us. When we choose to obey God rather than men, we become agents of His love and truth in a world in desperate need of both. Our obedience can inspire others to question the status quo and seek a deeper understanding of faith and morality. It opens the door for dialogue and invites others to encounter the transformative power of Jesus. As we live out our obedience, we reflect the light of Christ, drawing others towards Him, as Matthew 5:16 encourages, “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Moreover, the call to obedience requires us to cultivate a posture of humility, recognizing that we do not have all the answers and that our understanding of God’s will is often limited. This humility leads us to seek God earnestly through prayer, Scripture, and the counsel of fellow believers. Acts of obedience are not always easy, and we may face internal struggles, doubt, and fear. However, the assurance that we serve a God who is sovereign and faithful can bolster our resolve. Philippians 4:13 reminds us, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This strength is not just for our personal endurance; it empowers us to act in ways that honor God, even when it is difficult.

In the face of opposition, it is crucial to remember that our obedience is ultimately for God’s glory and the advancement of His kingdom. The apostles in Acts 5 exemplify this, as they rejoiced in their suffering for the name of Jesus, viewing their trials as a privilege to bear witness to Him (Acts 5:41). Their commitment to obey God rather than men was not rooted in a desire for personal gain or recognition but in a profound understanding of their mission as followers of Christ. This perspective invites us to reflect on our motives for obedience. Are we seeking to please God or merely conforming to societal expectations? Are we willing to endure hardship for the sake of the gospel, trusting that our obedience will bear fruit in due time?

Ultimately, the call to obey God rather than men is a call to radical discipleship—a commitment to live in alignment with God’s will, even when it is countercultural. It requires courage, faith, and a willingness to step out of our comfort zones. As we navigate a world filled with competing voices and values, let us hold fast to the truth that our obedience to God is not in vain. It is a testament to our relationship with Him, a declaration of our faith, and a powerful witness to a world in need of hope and redemption.

In conclusion, the words from Acts 5:29 remind us that obedience to God is not a burden but a privilege. It is an invitation to participate in His divine plan and to reflect His character in a world that desperately needs it. As we choose to obey God rather than men, we affirm our faith in His sovereignty, love, and justice. We become agents of change, living out the gospel in our actions and words, and drawing others to the hope found in Jesus Christ. May we boldly proclaim, like the apostles, that we must obey God rather than men, trusting in His guidance and provision as we walk in faith.

In his mighty name

🌿 Humility: A Step Toward Spiritual Growth 🌿

The Bible reminds us of our humble beginnings in Genesis 3:19 (KJV):
"In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."

Understanding our origin teaches us to stay humble and recognize that we are all equal before God. Humility is a foundation for spiritual growth, as seen in Philippians 2:3 (KJV):
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

✨ Lesson: Humility opens the door to a deeper relationship with God and others. It allows us to serve with love, grow in grace, and reflect Christ's character.

🙏 Walk humbly, love deeply, and grow spiritually. 🌱❤️

"The Sacred Journey: Embracing the Value of the Soul in the Dance of Light and Darkness"

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

Our reflection beautifully encapsulates the essence of the soul's value and the spiritual dynamics at play in the struggle between good and evil. It poignantly highlights how the relentless pursuit by malevolent forces, such as Satan, contrasts sharply with the sacrificial love of Christ. This duality invites profound contemplation on human existence, moral choices, and the inherent worth of each individual. As Matthew 16:26 states, "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?" This question emphasizes the supreme value of the soul above all earthly pursuits.

The idea that the soul is the most precious aspect of a person resonates deeply across cultures and philosophies. It emphasizes our individuality and the capacity for moral decision-making, which are essential to the human experience. The designation of the soul as a divine spark underscores its sanctity and the responsibilities that accompany such a gift. This intrinsic value makes it a focal point in the cosmic battle between light and darkness, revealing the stakes involved in our spiritual journeys. In Genesis 2:7, we see that "the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature." This act illustrates the divine investment in each soul.

Satan's pursuit of souls can be seen as an attempt to disrupt the divine order, reflecting his rebellion and desire to claim dominion over God's creation. This relentless quest underscores the power and potential that each soul embodies, making it a significant target in the broader narrative of spiritual warfare. Understanding this can serve to heighten our awareness of the spiritual forces at play in our lives and the importance of safeguarding our souls against negative influences. As 1 Peter 5:8 warns, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." This scripture reminds us of the need to remain vigilant.

Conversely, the sacrificial love of Christ stands as the ultimate affirmation of the soul's worth. The crucifixion symbolizes a profound act of grace and redemption, illustrating that no matter how far one may wander, there is always an invitation to return and be embraced by divine love. As John 3:16 beautifully states, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." This message reinforces the idea that the journey of the soul is not solely a struggle against evil but also a path toward restoration and hope. It encourages individuals to reflect on their own lives, motivating them to seek reconciliation and purpose.

The interplay between pursuit and sacrifice also raises critical questions about personal agency. Recognizing the value of the soul should inspire individuals to make choices that align with their highest values and aspirations. It invites a conscious engagement with life's temptations and challenges, encouraging a commitment to living authentically and purposefully. This awareness can foster resilience against the darker forces that seek to distract or deter one from their true path. Galatians 5:1 reminds us, "For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery," emphasizing the importance of choosing freedom in our spiritual walk.

Additionally, this exploration of love—both divine and human—illuminates the nature of relationships. The love of Christ invites individuals into a nurturing and transformative relationship, contrasting sharply with the consuming nature of evil. This distinction is vital in understanding the kind of love that uplifts and redeems versus that which seeks to possess and diminish. It challenges individuals to cultivate relationships that reflect this divine love, promoting growth and healing rather than fear and manipulation. As 1 John 4:19 states, "We love because he first loved us," highlighting the foundational nature of divine love in our interactions.

In summary, our meditation on the value of the soul highlights a critical aspect of the human experience—the spiritual journey of each individual. It serves as a powerful reminder of the stakes involved in this journey, where the pursuit by malevolent forces and the redemptive love of Christ coexist. By recognizing the inherent worth of the soul, individuals are inspired to live with intention, embracing love, faith, and purpose as guiding principles. This reflection ultimately calls for a commitment to nurturing and honoring the soul, celebrating its sacredness and the transformative potential it holds. As Philippians 4:8 encourages us, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." This scripture invites us to focus on the goodness that enhances the value of our souls.

Your brother in Christ always

"Embracing Imperfection: The Transformative Power of Jesus' Love"

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

This morning, I want to bring you a profound message concerning the statement that was shared, which reflects a deeply personal and complex relationship with Jesus, embodying both humility and gratitude. It speaks to the human experience of striving to live up to spiritual ideals while grappling with the inevitable imperfections that come with being human. This sentiment resonates with many who find themselves caught in a struggle between their aspirations to embody their faith fully and the reality of their daily shortcomings. As Romans 3:23 reminds us, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

In expressing a reluctance to "brag" about love for God due to feelings of failure, there’s an acknowledgment of the high standards and expectations often set by religious teachings. Many individuals may feel a sense of inadequacy when they reflect on their actions or thoughts that fall short of their spiritual aspirations. This sentiment points to a universal truth: the realization that no one is perfect, and the journey of faith is often fraught with challenges, temptations, and moments of doubt. The awareness of failing God daily can evoke feelings of guilt or shame, leading to a sense of separation from Jesus. However, this recognition also serves as a catalyst for growth; it reminds us of the importance of humility and the continuous striving for improvement in our spiritual lives. Philippians 3:12-14 states, "Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus."

In contrast, the second part of the statement emphasizes the unwavering, unconditional love that God extends to humanity. This aspect of Jesus' love is often portrayed as a source of strength and comfort. The notion that God never fails us, regardless of our shortcomings, highlights the grace that is central to many religious beliefs. It offers a powerful reassurance that, despite our imperfections, we are still worthy of love and acceptance. This love is often described as being beyond human comprehension—limitless, forgiving, and patient. As 1 John 4:9-10 states, "In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins." It invites individuals to lean into their faith, knowing that they are embraced even in their weakest moments.

Bragging about God’s love becomes a celebration of His mercy and the transformative power that such love can have on a person's life. It encourages believers to share their testimonies of how they have experienced this love in tangible ways, whether through moments of peace in times of turmoil, unexpected blessings, or a profound sense of belonging. This bragging is not rooted in pride or self-glorification but rather in a deep appreciation for the presence of Jesus that continually uplifts and supports. Revelation 12:11 reminds us, "And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony."

Moreover, this dynamic relationship between human imperfection and divine perfection fosters a spirit of community among believers. When individuals share their struggles and the ways they have felt God's love, it creates a space for honesty and vulnerability. This openness can encourage others who may feel isolated in their own struggles, reminding them that they are not alone in their journey and that God's love is available to all, regardless of their state of being. Galatians 6:2 encourages us, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."

Ultimately, the interplay between our failures and God's unwavering love can lead to a deeper understanding of grace. Grace, in its essence, is about recognizing that love is not earned or deserved based on our actions but is freely given. Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms this truth: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." This realization can inspire gratitude, encouraging individuals to express their love for God not just through words but through actions that reflect that love in the world. It fosters a desire to serve others, to embody the love that has been so generously shared, thereby transforming personal faith into communal action.

In summary, the statement encapsulates a profound truth about the human condition and the nature of Jesus' love. It invites reflection on the journey of faith, the acceptance of our imperfections, and the celebration of a love that remains steadfast despite our shortcomings. In acknowledging both the struggle and the grace, it fosters a richer, more compassionate understanding of what it means to love and be loved by God. As Romans 5:8 beautifully states, "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Be strong in Christ always

Hebrews 3:15

"To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts"

2 Peter 3:9

"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."

WE NEED TO BE BRAINWASHED BY THE WORD OF GOD

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed (metamorphose) by the renewing (remaking) of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2

We not only need to renew our worldly, fleshly way of thinking; we need to rethink all of the religious garbage that we have learned growing up. People have put themselves in bo***ge to denominational lies. We must humble ourselves and reconsider all of the scriptures. We are to test, prove and examine everything that we have been taught. Doctrines the appeal to the flesh (feel good worldly lusts) are not from God. Do not read the Bible with a denominational bias.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness (God-likeness) he is puffed up with conceit and understands NOTHING. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, 1Tim.6:3-4

Anyone who goes too far and does not abide (continue) in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting; for the one who gives him a greeting participates in his evil deeds. 2Jn.9-11
