Preach God’s love And Goodness

Posted on by

Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance (Romans 2:4)

When we preach the Gospel, what exactly are we preaching? The Gospel is good news—the availability of the righteousness of God. Jesus didn’t come to condemn the world. The Bible says, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:17). So what did Jesus tell us to do? He said, “Preach the Gospel!”

We’re to tell the world how good, gracious and kind God is; He’s not the God of judgement, but the God of love. So, preach His love. I remember when I used to go for crusades with the movie, titled, “Burning Hell.” It scared people to repentance, but only for a while. The fear didn’t last because it was based on emotion, not true repentance. It’s the goodness of God that leads men to repentance, not the judgement of God.

When people hear about the goodness of God, they’re moved to come out of their darkness. Think about Noah; he preached about the coming judgement for years, but how many people repented and entered the Ark with him? It was only his family. The same happened with Lot. But when the Apostles preached the Gospel, the good news, nations were changed! Hallelujah!

The Gospel is the message of hope, love, life, and victory in Christ. Of course, there’s a hell, and not just hell, there’s also the lake of fire where hell itself will be cast into with Satan and all who reject salvation. But blessed be God; no one who believes in Jesus should be afraid of going to hell, because Jesus already went to hell in our behalf. He paid the price, and gave us eternal life so we can live eternally in victory and success. He brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the Gospel—the good news of Your righteousness, love, and grace. I declare that I am a carrier of this message, spreading the light of Your goodness wherever I go. Thank You, Lord, for delivering me from the power of darkness and translating me into the kingdom of Your dear Son Jesus Christ, My Lord and Personal Saviour. I rejoice in the victory and eternal life You have given me in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

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.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

I will not leave you nor forsake you

Joshua 1:5

“No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live, just as I was with Moses. I will not leave you or forsake you.” [CSB]

INSPIRATION

(“I will not leave you nor forsake you).”

“This statement echoes the unwavering faithfulness of God throughout history. God reminded Joshua of His presence with Moses, guiding and sustaining him through the wilderness journey. Similarly, God assures us that He will not fail or abandon us in our Christian walk, trials, and endeavors.

In Joshua 1:5, God gave a profound promise to Joshua as he led the Israelites out of Egyptian bondage and into the Promised Land: ‘No man will be able to stand against you as long as you live. I will be with you, just as I was with Moses. I will not leave you nor forsake you.’

This precious promise remains true for God’s people today, rescued from sin’s slavery and Satan’s subjection. It boils down to trusting God’s promises, believing His Word, and embracing Scripture’s truth.

Throughout Israel’s journey, God’s faithfulness shines. Despite their failures, grumblings, and attempts to achieve God’s plans in their strength, His promises stood firm. God’s pledges to His children, including you, remain unbroken.

‘No man will be able to stand against you as long as you live’ (Joshua 1:5). The gates of hell cannot prevail against us, for God dwells within and stands beside us. Even when our faith wavers and we stumble, God’s love and truth remain steadfast, forgiving, and redeeming.

Scriptures:

Joshua 1:5

Matthew 16:18

Hebrews 13:5

Prayer for the day:

“Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for another day of life, blessed with good health and a sound mind. May Your name be exalted forever more in Christ Jesus! Amen.

Just as You empowered Joshua, grant us:

Strength in weakness

Love in abandonment

Courage in fear

Wisdom in uncertainty

Healing in sickness

Comfort in loneliness

Hope in despair

Peace in turmoil

Bless the work of our hands as we go forth today, seeking our daily bread. Guide us and bring us back to our homes with songs of praise and testimonies of Your goodness O Lord My GOD!

Thank You Heavenly Father, for answering our prayers. We pray in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.”

Thank You Jesus,

Priority Exchange Programme

Posted on by
Reply

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart” [PSALM 37 v 4].

This is another glorious day that the Lord God Almighty has made for us. Hallowed His Holy name in Jesus name! Amen.

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you” [JOHN 15:16].

Soul winning is an urgent divine business. It is very paramount to God because He does not want any to perish but that all might be born again [2 PETER 3:9]. In the same vein, every one of us has something that is of utmost importance to him or her.

The one who will enter his breakthrough would be wise enough to soft Pedal on his desires and goal and take God’s priority as his. As soon as God sees this, He will reciprocate by subordinating His priority to yours.

In other words, an exchange of priority is possible. If you make God’s priority your number one priority, God will make sure what you should have lost by relaxing your priority for His turns into gain.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” [MATTHEW 6:33]. If you check the lives of those who entered into priority exchange covenant with God, they were outstanding and fulfilled. Human beings have many desires in their life time.

While some are fulfilled, several others will remain as wishes. In PSALM 37:4, a call is made for an exchange of priority: “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

Beloved, one sure way to obtain your desires is by making God’s desires your delight. The more you rejoice in the things that glorify God and make them your first priority, the more God gives you your desires.  The things you are struggling to achieve or to have may take you quite some effort and time.

But if you can enter into the priority exchange programme, you are guaranteed that such desires and needs will be granted without stress. Blessings will pursue you as you pursue God. You should be their target. 

When you target blessing, you may hit or miss. But when you become the target of blessings, they won’t miss you. Be engaged in soul winning today. Subordinate your goals and plans to God’s. If you have a need and there is a need in God’s house, suspend yours and meet with God’s. Beloved, deliberately give your time, talent and resources to see to the expansion of God’s kingdom. Friend, your end will surely be glorious in Jesus name.

Dearly beloved, if you make God number One in everything, people will call you a fool but later acknowledge you are wiser than them.

Remain in Christ Jesus blessed, saved, safe, redeemed, sanctified and always rapturable in Jesus Christ amazing name Amen-Shalom

By Pastor Peter Ali

Prayer Points:

1. Lord Jesus Christ! Please help me to prioritize Your desires above my own at all times! Amen.

2. Dear Holy Spirit! Please give me a burden for soul winning and a passion to see others saved to God’s glory in Christ Jesus! Amen.

3. Dear Heavenly Father! Please help me to seek Your kingdom first and trust You to provide my needs, to Your Glory alone in Christ Jesus! Amen.

4. Dear Heavenly Father! Please empower me to delight in You and make Your desires my delight in Christ Jesus! Amen.

5. Dear Heavenly Father! Please use me as a vessel to expand Your kingdom and bring glory to Your Holy Name! Amen.

Bible Verses:

1. Matthew 6:33 – “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

2. 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.”

3. Psalm 37:4 – “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”

4. Proverbs 19:21 – “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.”

5. Philippians 2:13 – “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”

Additional Bible Verses:

1. Psalm 105:4 – “Seek the LORD, and His strength: seek His face evermore.”

2. Luke 10:2 – “Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.”

3. Acts 20:24 – “But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”

May these prayer points and Bible verses inspire and guide you as you prioritize God’s desires and engage in soul winning in Christ Jesus! Amen.

A Lazy Man

LET US PRAY 

PROVERBS 26: 13

 A sluggard says, “There’s a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets!”

A lazy man thinks there is a lion on the street so he would rather stay home than go out to work for his livelihood.  A student who keeps postponing the time to wake up to read will surely end up with very poor result.

Please do not procrastinate even your time of fellowship with God.

A man who values time will surely prosper in life. Laziness is one factor that wastes time.

 PRAY:

 Lord please, quicken me so that I can stop procrastination that steals away my time, in Jesus Christ Amen.

Enjoy A Prosperous Monday.

Put Your Trust In God

Psalm 31: 1-24 (NKJV)

31:1. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be ashamed; Deliver me in Your righteousness.

31:2. Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.

31:3. For You [are] my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

31:4. Pull me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You [are] my strength.

31:5. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

31:6. I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the LORD.

31:7. I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,

31:8. And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.

31:9. Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, [Yes,] my soul and my body!

31:10.  For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.

31:11.  I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And [am] repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.

31:12. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.

31:13. For I hear the slander of many; Fear [is] on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.

31:14. But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You [are] my God.”

31:15. My times [are] in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.

31:16. Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.

31:17. Do not let me be ashamed, O LORD, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.

31:18. Let the lying lips be put to silence, Which speak insolent things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

31:19.  Oh, how great [is] Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, [Which] You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

31:20. You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence From the plots of man; You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion From the strife of tongues.

31:21. Blessed [be] the LORD, For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!

31:22. For I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before Your eyes”; Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications When I cried out to You.

31:23. Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! [For] the LORD preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person.

31:24. Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.

The Psalmist confidently declares that his trust is in the Lord, and therefore, he feels secure in expecting God’s deliverance, guidance, mercy, and protection from his enemies. By entrusting his life to God, he commits his times to His hands. He praises God’s goodness to those who trust in Him and blesses the Lord for His marvelous kindness. The Psalmist also encourages the saints to love the Lord for His preservation and urges those who hope in the Lord to be courageous, for they will be strengthened.

In today’s world, filled with crises, wars, food scarcity, insecurity, mass shootings, and kidnappings, people are left wondering who or what to trust. Some put their trust in their abilities, position, wealth, friends, titles, or even idols. However, like the Psalmist, we must put our trust in God (Psalm 20:7), for without Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5). God’s faithfulness is tried, tested, and trusted for eternity! Amen.

PRAYER: Father; help me to trust you more as I know you more! Amen.

OPENING PRAYER: Father, keep me from known and unknown errors that can destabilize my journey in life in Jesus Christ name! Amen.

MEMORY VERSE: Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? – Lamentations 3:37

BIBLE TEXT: Lamentations 3:31-37 (KJV)

31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

33 For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

34 To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth.

35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

GOD’S COUNSEL WILL PREVAIL

Can anything happen without the Lord’s permission either good or bad? God permits what will happen in the life of an individual, without His permission, there is no implementation. Let us look at biblical examples of people that prevailed with God’s permission despite all oppositions.

1) Joseph prevailed against his brothers’ opposition to his dreams. Genesis 37:5-8; 42:6-9

2) David prevailed over opposition from King Saul.

3) Three Hebrew men prevailed evil counsel of king Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel 3:4-25.

4) King Hezekiah prevailed over Assyrians that besieged land of Judah. 2 Kings 19:32-37.

5) Mordecai prevailed over Haman. Esther 6:13

6) Elisha prevailed over king of Syria. 2 Kings 6:11-23.

7) Micaiah prevailed over King Ahab. 1 Kings 22:15-35.

8) Jesus prevailed over devil and his allies (sickness, affliction) Matthew 4:3-11, 14:17-21.

YOUR SIN, YOUR WALL (HINDRANCE) TO YOUR TESTIMONIES.

What is sin?

a) A violation of God’s will, instructions or commandment.

b) Act of wickedness. Genesis 13:13. Psalm 104:35

c) Association with bad company and consenting to bad influence. Proverbs 1:10, 1 Corinthians 15:33.

d) Doing evil. 1 Kings 15:30.

e) Working against God’s programme.

RESULTS OF SIN

  1. Provocation of God’s anger: 1 Kings 15:30, Psalm 104:35.
  2. Removal of divine privileges.
  3. Sinners have no place in God’s plan and chased by trouble. Proverbs 13:21
  4. It brings divine replacement. E.g, King Saul and Eli were replaced. Samuel 3:12-14.
  5. Loss of right in destiny. Proverbs 13:22.

EXAMPLES OF THOSE THAT LOST FULFILLMENT DUE TO SIN

  1. Moses: Did not enter the promise land
  2. Eli: Divine exchange of God’s promises.
  3. Solomon: Division of tribes of Israel.
  4. Ten Spies: Died as a result of evil report.
  5. Micah: Remained barren as a result of despising King David.

SUMMARY: To prevail as a child of God, you have to abstain from what can bring God’s wrath. Joseph prevailed against his brothers’ opposition to his dreams. Genesis 37:5-8, Genesis 42:6-9.

CONCLUSION: The thought of God towards His elect is always positive. Jeremiah 29:11 (getting the best, being kept from enemy’s advances, enjoying divine privileges, surrounded with destiny helpers and walking in dominion) but all these can be reversed and lost when there is provision and retention of sinful lives.

PRAYER POINTS

  1. Father, help to prevail over opposition this wicked world.
  2. Father, please give victory over evil counsel of the enemy.
  3. Father, deliver my destiny from every demonic siege laid against my glory.
  4. Father, please quench every violent fire spreading across the world.
  5. Father, I decree total end to evil dominance in our nations.
  6. Father, increase your anointing on Pastor and Pastor (Mrs) Enoch Adeboye.
  7. Father, take RCCG to new level of extraordinary greatness.

Hymn 778 Where High the Heavenly Temple Stands

Posted on by
Reply

Where high the heav’nly temple stands,

The house of God not made with hands,

A great High Priest our nature wears,

The patron of mankind appears.

2: He, who for men their Surety stood,

And pour’d on earth His precious blood,

Pursues in heav’n His mighty plan,

The Saviour and the Friend of man.

3: Though now ascended up on high,

He bends on earth a Brother’s eye;

Partaker of the human name,

He knows the frailty of our frame.

4: Our Fellow-suff’rer yet retains

A fellow-feeling of our pains;

And still remembers in the skies

His tears, His agonies, and cries.

5: In every pang, that rends the heart,

The Man of sorrows had a part;

He sympathizes with our grief

And to the suffrer sends relief.

6: With boldness, therefore, at the throne,

Let us make all our sorrows known;

And ask the aid of heav’nly pow’r

To help us in the evil hour.

Thank You Jesus,

A Perpetual Winner (Summary)

Preacher: Pastor Joe Mbulu

          The topic that we will be sharing is dual, you can select the one you like: “Winning Always or you can choose The Perpetual Winner”, and the Bible texts are from2nd Corinthians 4: 1 – 9 and Philippians 3:13 – 15.

We are winners, we were created to be winners from the beginning in Genesis 1: 28. Of who we are, we are more than conquerors, and we have been called to bear fruit; of what we are, we have all things according to 2nd Peter 1: 3.

Things that deprive us of the full benefits of Christ:

  • Procrastination, Ecclesiastes 11: 4, Proverbs 15:19.
  • Fear, Matthew 10:29 – 31.     
  • Despondency, Hebrews 10: 35 – 39.

  • Review your purpose
  • Arise, Genesis 13:17

  • Service

Never Envy Anyone

Beyond the Facade: A Reminder to Focus on Your Journey

Don’t envy anyone; you never know their hidden struggles. Social media often masks reality.

Behind the seductive posts, some individuals are crying out for validation, nursing heartbreak, or seeking attention from those who rejected them.

Beneath the flashy displays of wealth, some people are drowning in debt, desperate to conceal their financial woes.

Many wear masks to hide their pain. Wish them well, but don’t envy them. Celebrate your unique journey; you are enough.

You’re not in competition with anyone; your path is distinct. Focus on your race, and be grateful for your life – a precious gift from God. What you do with it is your gift back to Him.

Don’t be distracted by superficial allurements. Be purpose-driven, embracing self-discovery.

As Proverbs 23:17-18 reminds us:

“Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.” (NIV)

Stay true to yourself, and keep moving forward.

Additional Reflection:

  1. Compare yourself only to who you were yesterday.
  2. Authenticity is beauty; don’t hide behind masks.
  3. Gratitude unlocks happiness.
  4. Your worth isn’t measured by likes or followers.

May this reminder inspire you to stay focused on your journey and cherish the beauty of your unique path in Christ Jesus! Amen.

Prayer Points:

Lord Jesus Christ! Please help me focus on my own journey and celebrate my unique blessings in You! Amen.

(Psalm 37:4 – “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”)

Dear Holy Spirit! Please give me eyes to see the hidden struggles of others and compassion to pray for them, in Jesus Christ mighty name I pray! Amen.

(Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”)

Protect me Dear Heavenly Father from the temptation to compare myself to others! Amen.

(2 Corinthians 10:12 – “We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.”)

Dear Heavenly Father! Please fill me with gratitude for what I have, and help me trust Your provision for me, for in Jesus Christ mighty name I pray! Amen.

(1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”)

Lord Jesus Christ! Please help me find my identity and worth in You alone! Amen.

(Ephesians 2:10 – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”)

Dear Heavenly Father! In the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Please give me wisdom to recognize the masks people wear and pray for their true needs! Amen.

(Matthew 9:36 – “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”)

Holy Spirit! Please keep me from coveting what belongs to others! Amen.

(Exodus 20:17 – “You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.”)

Additional Bible Verses:

  1. Proverbs 14:30 – “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”
  2. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 – “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.”
  3. Psalm 37:1-3 – “Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.”

PRAYER:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help me walk in contentment, free from envy and comparison. Give me eyes to see the struggles of others and a heart to pray for them. May my identity and worth be found in You alone in Christ Jesus, my Lord and my personal Saviour.

Thank You for Your Word, which guides me in Your truth.

In Jesus Christ name, I pray. Amen.

May these prayer points and Bible verses inspire you to cultivate a spirit of contentment and gratitude!

May God’s peace, love, and contentment fill your heart and life. Remember, your worth and value come from GOD alone.

Have a blessed day!

Thank You Jesus,

Teach them how to yearn for righteousness and to detest lies and immorality. Preserve their innocence and keep their hearts pure!
