Hymn 649: I remember when my burdens rolled away

1:

I remember when my burdens roll’d away,

I had carried them for years, night and day!

When I sought the blessed Lord,

and I took Him at His Word,

Then at once all my burdens roll’d away.

CHORUS

Roll’d away, roll’d away,

I am happy since my burdens roll’d away;

Roll’d away, roll’d away;

I am happy since my burdens roll’d away.

2:

I remember when my burdens roll’d away,

That I fear’d would never leave night or day;

Jesus show’d to me the loss, so

I left them at the cross;

I was glad when my burdens roll’d away.

3:

I remember when my burdens roll’d away,

That had hinder’d me for years, night and day;

As I sought the throne of grace,

just a glimpse of Jesus’ face,

And I knew that my burdens could not stay.

4:

I am singing since my burdens roll’d away,

There’s a song within my heart night and day;

I am living for my King,

and with joy I shout and sing,

Hallelujah! all my burdens roll’d away.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Hebrews_12-2: Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God

I Am Coming To The Cross
I Am Poor And Weak And Blind;
I Am Counting All But Dross;
I Shall Full Salvation Find.

I Am Trusting, Lord, In Thee,
Dear Lamb Of Calvary,
Humbly At The Cross 1 Bow,
Save Me, Jesus, Save Me Now,

In The Promises I Trust;
Now I Feel The Blood Applied;
I Am Prostrate In The Dust;
I With Christ Am Crucified.

Here I Give My All To Thee –
Friends And Time And Earthly Store,
Soul And Body Thine To Be –
Wholly Thine Forever More.
Amen!

I Am Thine O Lord
I Have Heard Thy Voice
And It Told Thy Love To Me
But I Long To Rise In The Arms Of
Faith
And Be Closer Drawn To Thee

Draw Me Nearer, Nearer,
Blessed Lord To The Cross Where Thou Hast Died
Draw Me Nearer, Nearer, Nearer,
Blessed Lord To Thy Precious, Bleeding Side

Consecrate Me Now To
Thy Service, Lord
By The Power Of Grace Divine
Let My Soul Look Up With A
Steadfast Hope
And My Will Be Lost In Thine

Oh, The Pure Delight Of A Single Hour
That Before Thy Throne I Spend
When I Kneel In Prayer, And
With Thee, My God
I Commune As Friend With Friend.

There Are Depths Of Love That I Cannot Know
Till I Cross The Narrow Sea
There Are Heights Of Joy That I
May Not Reach
Till I Rest In Peace With Thee.
Amen!

The Lord is risen indeed

Psalms_24-1: A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein

The Lord is risen indeed.

Now is his work performed;

Now is the mighty captive freed,

And deaths strong castle stormed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘The Lord is risen indeed.’

The grave has lost his prey;

With Him is risen the ransomed

seed;

To reign in endless day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’

He lives, to die no more;

He lives, the sinner’s cause to plead,

Whose curse and shame he

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 ‘The Lord is risen indeed.’

Attending angels hear

Up to the courts of heaven with

speed

The joyful tidings bear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, angels, tune your lyres,

And strike each cheerful chord:

Join, all ye bright celestial choirs,

To sing our risen Lord!

1-Corinthians_1-18: For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God

Extended on a cursed tree,

Besmeared with dust, and sweat, and blood,

See there, the King of Glory see!

Sinks and expires the Son of God.

 

 

 

 

 

 Who, who my Saviour, this hath done?

Who could Thy sacred body wound?

No guilt Thy spotless heart hath known,

No guile bath in Thy lips been found.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I, I alone, have done the dead!

“Tis I Thy sacred flesh have torn;

My sins have caused Thee,

Lord, to bleed,

Pointed the nail, and fixed the thorn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The burden, for me to sustain

Too great, on Thee, my Lord, was laid;

To heal me, Thou hast borne my pain;

To bless me, Thou a curse wast made.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim?

How pay the mighty debt I owe?

let all I have and all I am,

Ceaseless to all Thy glory show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Too much to Thou I cannot give:

Too much I cannot do for Thee

Let all Thy love and all Thy grief,

Graven on my heart for ever be

Have you read the story of the cross,

Where Jesus bled and died;

Where your debt was paid by his precious blood

That flowed from His wounded side?

 

 

 

 

He died of a broken heart for

you

He died of a broken heart,’

Up-on a tree, for you, for me,

He died of a broken heart.

 

 

 

 

 

Have you read how they placed the crown of thorns

Up-on His brow for you

When He prayed, “Forgive them, Oh, forgive,

They know not what they do?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you read how He saved the dying thief

When hanging on the tree,

When He looked with pleading eyes and said,

“Dear Lord remember me.?”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you read that He looked to heaven and said

‘Tis finished?”

“Twas for thee!”

Have you ever said, “I thank Thee Lord,

For giving Thy life for me?”

Do you really think that God doesn’t know you?

1-John_1-9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

1-John_1-9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness

Song Of Solomon 4:7

You are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in you.

 

 

Jesus tells us His bride, “You are all fair, My love, and there is no spot in you.” But our reply to Him tends to be, “Me? All fair and no spot? You don’t know me, Lord!”

 

Do you really think that God doesn’t know you?

 

God sees reality like no one else sees it. He sees the perfection of His Son’s finished work in your life. By one offering of Himself at the cross, Jesus has perfected you forever! (Hebrews 10:14) You have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21) And you will never find any spot in this righteousness that Jesus died to give you.

 

So God wants you to see yourself righteous—all fair and spotless in Christ. Every day, be conscious of your righteousness in Christ. Say, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ. There is no spot in me whom He has perfected with His blood.” When you do that, you are honoring Jesus and His finished work.

 

If you are conscious of your sins, then you are not honoring the work of Christ. You may think that you are being humble or holy by being sin-conscious. But do you know that the Bible calls sin-consciousness an “evil conscience”?

 

Hebrews 10:21–22 tells us that since we have Jesus as our High Priest, “let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience”. What does the writer of Hebrews mean by “an evil conscience”? If you read the beginning of the same chapter, you will find that he is talking about a “consciousness of sins”. (Hebrews 10:2) Paul calls it a “conscience seared with a hot iron”. (1 Timothy 4:2) The Greek word for “seared” here is kauteriazo, and it means to carry about with you a perpetual consciousness of sin.

 

So don’t carry with you an evil or seared conscience. Your lifetime of sins has already been punished fully in the body of Jesus at the cross. Be conscious, instead, of your perfection and righteousness in Christ. Because of what Jesus has done for you, you can boldly declare, “I am all fair. There is no spot in me!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

May God Bless Nigeria, America And Israel And Take Care Of Us; May God Make His Face Shine Upon Us, And Be Gracious To Us; May The Lord Lift Up His Countenance Upon Us, And Give Us Peace, In Jesus Christ Name, We Pray! Amen!

 

 

 

May The Grace The Lord Jesus Christ, And The Love Of God, And The Fellowship Of The Holy Spirit Be With You All. Amen!

A Soldier Of The Cross, RCCG, Redeemed Christian Church Of God, Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye, Daddy G O

Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O

Pastor E A Adeboye. Daddy G O

Memorise:
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 2:3

Read: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Message

I believe that knowledge and wisdom are crucial to our greatness in life. Simply put, knowledge is information that is censored by intelligence, while wisdom is the right application of knowledge. One piece of knowledge every child of God should have is the fact that every sincere Christian is a soldier of the cross. Christians are combatants, and we are expected to be equipped for battle.

Ephesians_6-11: Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil

Ephesians_6-11: Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil

Ephesians 6:11 says,
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”

The first group of enemies Christians wrestle against are principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). It is our duty as soldiers of the cross to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints (Jude 3). A saint is holy, and the faith delivered to the saints is of great value. Therefore, no evil conduct must be found or even mentioned among soldiers of the cross.

James_4-7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

James_4-7: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you

How should a soldier of the cross live? We are to resist the devil (James 4:7). Resisting an opposing force is serious business. Whoever will resist the devil should first and foremost submit himself or herself to God. Prioritise only the needful in your life and let God be your first priority. As soldiers of the cross, the principle of proper prioritisation is relevant to our growth in Christ. Someone once said the reason most major goals are not achieved is that we spend our time doing second things first.

Many Christians find it difficult to make God their first priority because petty and mundane matters steal much of their time. Unfortunately, many are living for the wrong things. They fail to know that PART OF BEING WISE IS TO KNOW WHAT TO OVERLOOK. If God will be your Number One, there are many things you will have to flee from or refuse to touch.

1-Corinthians_6-19-1: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

1-Corinthians_6-19-1: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own

One of such things is sexual immorality. The scripture enjoins us to flee fornication (1 Corinthians 6:18).

In the same vein, we should flee idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:14). A Christian soldier knows, as Paul did, that all things are lawful, but not all things are expedient.

Colossians_3-16-3: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. God Answers Prayers

Colossians_3-16-3: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. God Answers Prayers

As a soldier of the cross, it is your duty to be sober, vigilant and watchful. You should set your affection on heavenly things, not on the mundane (Colossians 3:2). Soldiers of the cross are the elect of God and should therefore put on the attributes of mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness and longsuffering. We should learn to bear with one another and to forgive one another. Finally, every soldier of the cross is expected to demonstrate the true love of God. You should also be thankful and allow the peace of God to rule in your heart.

Action Point:
Spend quality time in worship and in singing spiritual songs with grace in your heart to God.
