You can’t remove Christ out of the picture  and expect your sins to be forgiven why

Because it is Him who has been given authority on earth to forgive sins Luke 5:24[24]But that you may know that the Son of Man has the [power of] authority and right on earth to forgive sins, He said to the paralyzed man, I say to you, arise, pick up your litter (stretcher), and go to your own house!

We want to draw purpose to reference concerning who has authority to forgive sins and who doesn’t have authority to forgive sins

Satan has no authority to forgive sins but Jesus the son of God Psalm 103:[3]Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases,

Psalm 103:4[4]Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption, Who beautifies, dignifies, and crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy;

a) Can we really expect our sins to be forgiven if we ever remove Christ out of the picture?

b) According to our insight in view, who has authority on earth to forgive sins ?

c) What kind of Authority does Christ have on earth?

d) Analyze purpose of note as due to our teaching

Dear Lord Jesus, am grateful for your word in this that it is you who has power on earth to forgive sins. Forgive my sins I pray in Jesus name 

When you look at life from a scrutinised perspective, you will realise that your life is at a place of divine juncture considering what you have chosen to do with your soul in harmony to divine purpose  

Many people’s love for God has been reduced to nothing.  Their love for God has been replaced by satisfaction of temporary things

What is the irony of your spiritual contentment in possession? 

is it about the big ministry you intend to have 

is it because demons are subject to you

Is it because people refer to you as a powerful man of God it is all about your name being written in heaven Luke 10:20[20]Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are enrolled in heaven. [Exod. 32:32; Ps. 69:28; Dan. 12:1.] As thus and to note 

Reflective questions about the teaching 

a) What did Jesus say his disciples should rejoice about?

b) What is that which should  bring about the most important aspect of our spiritual contentment?

c) How come many people’s spiritual lives have been reduced to nothing?

d) From an illuminated perspective, what should be the cause of our rejoicing 

Dear Lord am grateful and satisfied in heart that irrespective of what may be happening in my life.. I rejoice because my name is written in heaven 

CONSECRATION

I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD

Recently I have a friend of mine from kenya who invited me to a consecration camp around Kampala and I was overjoyed at what I saw and experienced

People were pouring out their heart’s to the LORD from various nations  and reconciling their lives after the Holy purpose of God. 

Upon instruction from The LORD to Moses, He told Him to tell the Israelites to consecrate themselves before the LORD Leviticus 20:7[7]Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy; for I am the Lord your God. As thus we ought also to consecrate our lives to the LORD through living after his divine purpose for our lives 

a) According to your perspective in view, what is consecration?

b) What did the LORD tell  Moses to tell the Israelites to do ?

c) Acknowledge purpose of note as due to our teaching

Dear Lord Jesus, am grateful for this teaching in view to the divine purpose of consecration in Jesus’s  name Amen

LABOURERS IN THE HARVEST

MAY THE LORD THRUST OUT LABOURERS INTO HIS HARVEST

MATHEW 9:37-38

A few day’s ago, I was on a motorcycle.. after giving money to the motorcycle man who had driven me I asked Him a question.. have you given your life to Christ.. He said He is Muslim and that the thing’s of born again  are all about people’s emotional experiences and prestige.  I said Ok and He went away.

People who are not yet followers of Christ are 

MANY, They are in thousands and millions of number 

But the challenge is those who are willing to preach, teach and evangelize are few so what needs to be done. What needs to be done is to Pray to the LORD of the harvest to send out labourers in the HARVEST Matthew 9:37-38[37]Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few.[38]So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust laborers into His harvest.

a) What should we pray to the LORD of the harvest to do? 

b) What did Jesus say is abundant?

c) Who is He who is the owner of the harvest?

Dear Lord Jesus, Our prayer tonight is that you will send out labourers into your harvest so that more souls are harvested to the glory and purpose of your wonderful name. 

JESUS’S PERSONAL LIFE AND MINISTRY

JESUS WOULD OFTEN WITHDRAW HIMSELF TO DESERTED PLACES AND PRAYED.

The chronological aspect of ministry now day’s has made people much more busy than ever 

I realise that it is possible to be so busy in the work of God and yet loose out on your relationship with the LORD.  

You could be busy praying for people all the time

Counselling people

Visiting disciples 

Sorting the social and administrative aspects of the ministry and yet  loose out on the time that you would have spent with the LORD

You could be busy attending one conference to another and still miss time in the presence of the LORD. 

Jesus had a busy ministry schedule just like many of our people but he would often withdraw himself from the multitudes to deserted places and prayed as thus we too should do the same in the same manner as Jesus did

a) What would Jesus do amidst his busy ministry schedule?

b) Why would he withdraw himself from multitudes to deserted places? 

c) What would be some of the lessons in word you draw and perceive from our teaching

d) What is that which Jesus would do often?

e) Do you often withdraw your self from the distractions of this life/ from personal activities for prayer?

Dear Lord Jesus, give me strength for divine purpose to stand at my place of prayer in Jesus name Amen
