2025 SHALL NOT SWALLOW ME.

1 Peter 3.19 – 20

By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Good morning and happy new year to you my friend. We give God the praise for the opportunity He has given us to see yet another year in the land of the living.

There are many interpretations to the bible text this morning but I am on the side of those that believe Apostle Peter to be saying that, the event in the study text took place when Jesus was in the tomb after His death.

Jesus did not just sleep in the tomb, He went to preach gospel even in hell and those that believed rose with Him.

Who are the “The spirits in prison” who “formerly did not obey?”

There is a believe among others that says, they are the souls of Old Testament believers, whom Jesus liberated from captivity of hell and brought with Him to heaven.

Matthew 27.52 – 53 confirms that, “And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after His (Jesus) resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many”.

The message that Jesus proclaims was His death and resurrection. It is therefore a good news to them.

The Apostles’ Creed says “I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in JESUS CHRIST, His only begotten Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. HE DESCENDED INTO HELL. On the third day, He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty…”

As we are going into this year, beginning from today, we should pray in faith that the power that raised Jesus Christ up from dead after preaching to the spirits in prison of hell will see us through the year and take us gracefully to 2026 and beyond if Jesus tarries.

Jesus did not come out of the prison alone, those who believed in Him rose with Him. Therefore, it is expected of us that we are not coming out of this year alone, the way we entered.

God has promised to bless us this year, however, we must ensure that our lives win souls unto His kingdom.

There are many people wallowing in sins that we must take the gospel of Jesus Christ to. By the time, we would have souls that will come out with us in 2026.

Friend, you cannot give what you don’t have. If you yourself have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour, how then can you tell others to give their life? That is one of the reasons why you must surrender your life unto Him now.

Until tomorrow again if Jesus tarries and He permits when we shall be studying another topic as may be dictated by the Holy Spirit, I pray for you that year 2025 will neither swallow you nor write your last chapter in Jesus name.

Don’t forget that Adesola Arilewola cares for your soul and Jesus loves you more than you know.

MARANATHA.

Thank You Jesus,

1: Christ is our Comer-stone;

On Him alone we build;

With His true Saints alone

The courts of Heaven are filled;

On His great Love

Our hopes we place

Of present grace,

And joys above.

2: Oh, then with hymns of praise

These hallow’d courts shall ring:

Our voices we will raise,

The Three in One to sing;

And thus proclaim

In joyful song,

Both loud and long,

That glorious Name.

3: Here, gracious God, do Thou

For evermore draw nigh;

Accept each faithful vow,

And mark each suppliant sigh;

In copious shower

On all who pray,

Each holy day,

Thy blessings pour.

4: Here may we gain from Heaven,

The grace which we implore,

And may that grace, once given

Be with us evermore;

Until that day,

When all the blest,

To endless rest

Are call’d away.

Thank You Jesus,

1: We lay down this foundation, Lord

In thy name, Our Lord Jesus Christ,

We beseech Thee our dear Saviour

Keep this holy place in Thy care.

2: And when these Thy people seek Thee,

And sinners seek Thee in this house Hear,

Almighty from heav’n above

O Lord our God, forgive their sins.

3: When Thy ministers preach the Word

The gospel of Jesus Thy Son,

Almighty God, in Thy great name

Wrought our wonderful miracles.

4: And when the little children sing

Their hymns of praise unto their king

Let angels join them in His praise

And earth and heav’n lend their chorus.

5: Jehovah will Thou dwell with us

In this our wicked, sinful world?

Jesus Christ will Thou be our King?

Holy Ghost will Thou find rest here?

6: May Thy glory never depart

From this house that we are building,

Make thy kingdom within our hearts

And establish Thy throne within.

Yet, keep Thy presence in this house;

Thy kingdom come to every heart

Until Thou be enthroned on earth.

This house we dedicate to Thee:

O hear Thy servants as they pray,

And let Thine ear attentive be!

2: Within these walls let holy peace,

Let love and truth be always found;

And souls v-ith richest grace be crown’d.

3: May here be heard the suppliant’s sigh,

The weary enter into rest;

Here may the contrite to Thee cry,

And waiting souls be richly bless’d.

4: Here, when the gospel sound is heard,

And here proclaim’d the saving name,

May hearts be quicken’d, mov’d, and stirr’d,

And souls be kindled into flame.

5: Here may the dead be made to live,

The dumb to sing, the deaf to hear;

And do Thou to the humble give

Pardon and peace instead of fear.

6: Make this, O Lord, Thine own abode;

Thy presence in these courts be giv’n;

Be this, indeed, the house of God,

And this in truth the gate of heaven.

Proclaiming the Good News of Christ Jesus with Love.

Preach Love, Not Sins.

Love: The Motivation For The Salvation Of Mankind.

TO THE BIBLE: John 3:16 TPT “For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in him will never perish but experience everlasting life.””

“Repent of your sins, or you’ll go to hell,” Claude bellowed every morning on his street, hoping the message would stir a revival. But he always wondered why no one ever listened or came around to ask him about the Lord. One day, while in prayer about this, the Holy Spirit told him, “You aren’t preaching good news as long as you aren’t telling them about the Lord Jesus and how His love led Him to take away man’s sins.”

You know, when preaching the Gospel, some Christians focus primarily on the subject of sin, emphasising the need for people to repent of their sins. The message of repentance was appropriate for the Jews because they were under the Law. They were required to turn away from wrongdoing and turn to God when they sinned. However, non-Jews—the Gentiles—had nothing to turn away from because they were never under the Law, which in itself was their condemnation.

The Bible says, “For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law” (Romans 5:13). But then, the Bible says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). This includes both Jews and Gentiles. If the Gentiles didn’t break the Law because it wasn’t given to them, then where was their sin? In the book of Genesis, we learn that when God created Adam and Eve, they lived in His presence and glory. They were cut off from that glory when Adam sinned against God.

Romans 5:19 ESV says, “For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.” Through one man’s offence, all men fell short of the glory, but now, in Christ, the glory is restored: “…Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). Hallelujah! This is why your approach to the Gospel shouldn’t begin with the issue of sin; rather, it should begin with the message of love. That’s the key; that’s how Jesus puts it in our opening scripture.

Love was His motivation. Notice in that verse that He said nothing about sin. That’s the Gospel of Christ. It’s a message of love and a message of life—the life and nature of God—that His death, burial, and resurrection have made possible and available to everyone who believes.

Go Deeper:

John 3:16 AMPC; 2 Corinthians 5:19–21

Pray

Dear Father, thank you for your love that’s expressed, unveiled, and embraced as many all around the world hear and receive the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and the resultant gift of righteousness. Today, they experience your steadfast and everlasting love and the glory of your grace in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

English: 4 days of Evangelism Training in Southern California provided by LivingWaters Ministry. Obeying the great commission of Jesus Christ. “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to everyone” Mark 16:15 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Do Not Be afraid, Only Believe

Mark 5:36 – “As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He
said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only
believe”

Jesus speaks these words to Jairus, one of the leaders of the
synagogue, to build his faith so that He could raise his daughter
from the dead. Today, Christians are bombarded with new prayer
and faith techniques in thousands of books, CD’s, and videos and
all Jesus is saying is “only believe”. Religion complicates the
simplicity of the Gospel. Jesus is looking to show Himself strong
on your behalf if you will “only believe!”

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!

All of God’s power is wrapped up in the Gospel

 

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth…..(Romans 1:16)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Lord Jesus Christ told us to preach the gospel which is the “Good News” of what His death, burial and resurrection accomplished for humanity. The gospel is more than a nice moralistic story of what God’s Son did for humanity. According to the bible, the gospel is in itself the power of God unto salvation. The Word “Salvation” is the all-encompassing word that describes the totality of the good work God has wrought for us. This means that the totality of God’s power to do anything for any man is fully resident in the Gospel. It is this power that turns sinners into saints in a moment of time.

It doesn’t matter what need a man might have, the solution is in the Gospel. All you need to come out trouble or any precarious situation is to hear and receive the Gospel of Christ Jesus as pertains to your situation. For example, the Gospel to the one who is broke and in debt is that he has an inheritance in Christ Jesus and so he has no business living in lack. As soon as he receives that Word and endorses it, that’ll be the end of his poverty.

The Gospel to the one who is sick is that divine health has been made available through Christ Jesus. As soon as he receives it, it will be impossible for sickness and disease to hold him down. No matter the situation in which you find yourself, the solution is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thus if you’re reading this today and you’re not yet saved, what you need is to believe in your heart, and declare with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord of your life from this day forward! Ask Him to come live in you and make your heart the place of His abode. When you do this, God’s power will begin to work in you and you’ll be awakened to the fatherhood of God. You’ll become a brand new species of being that never existed before (2 Corinthians 5:17)! That’s the power of the Gospel!

 

Prayer:  Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for showing me the awesome power that’s wrapped up in the Gospel. I thank You for making the provisions of the Gospel available to me such that I can direct your power at any situation I desire to change, in Jesus Christ Name, Amen!

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

—Psalm 14:1

 

READ: Luke 12:16-21

It seems to me rather contradictory that Jesus, who was so gentle at times (Matt. 19:13-15), would call some people fools. Yet, as recorded in the Gospels a number of times, our Lord used this derogatory term to describe those He spoke about—especially the Pharisees (see Matt. 23:17-19; Luke 11:39-40).

Jesus also used the word fool in a parable after warning a man about coveting (Luke 12:13-21). What made him foolish is not the fact that he built bigger barns to store his abundant harvest (vv.16-18). It would have been more foolish of him to leave it out in the fields where inclement weather would spoil it. Nor was he foolish because of his thought that this unexpected windfall was enough to last him a long time (v.19). After all, we are urged to follow the example of the ant in “storing up” the harvest (Prov. 6:6-8).

What made the man foolish? He left God out of the picture. He was called a fool because he failed to realize that his life was in God’s hands. While he was planning carefully for his comfortable life on earth, he failed to plan for eternity and store up treasures in heaven (Matt. 6:20).

Does your plan for the future have God in it? You won’t want to be called foolish by Him in the end. —C. P. Hia

Oh, why not turn while yet you may;
Too late, it soon will be—
A glorious life you may possess
Throughout eternity. —Anon.

 

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. —Jim Elliot

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

It is time for the Church to be about the Father‘s business… it’s time for us to go further

 

 

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on his rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Matthew 16:18

Did you know that the Church is to confront demons of darkness wherever we find them? We are to cast them out in the name of Jesus as a sign to unbelievers! This may sound radical to you but it is not-it is what Christ Jesus said we would do!

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name they cast out devils” (Mark 16:17). The Church has been slothful in deliverance. We have been lazy, for we don’t want to pay the price to live holy lives, we do not study the Word of God the way we ought to, we do not spend the time before God’s presence as we should and we do not exercise our authority as we are directed to do. So as a Church how can we know the Father’s heart?

As believers our lives and actions are to testify that we belong to Christ Jesus. We are to spread the Word of God, cast out demons, set the captives free, take care of the needy and poor, and demonstrate the love of God continually.

It is time for the Church to be about the Father’s business… it’s time for us to go further.

Keeping God‘s Words

My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let
them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine
heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to
all their flesh
Proverbs 4:20-22
Notice the order in this passage. The psalmist says, “Attend to my
words, incline thine ear unto my sayings, and let them not depart from
thine eyes.” When you do those three things—attend, incline, and let
them not depart from your eyes—you receive revelation. But, if you do
the fourth thing-keep them in the midst of thy heart-you keep
revelation.

He gives you this fourth admonition before He talks about the Word of God being life to you. Why? Although you have a revelation to start the
process, you also need a revelation to end the process. So God says,
“Keep my words planted in the middle of your heart. Don’t let the devil
come and uproot the Word out of your heart.”

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!

Judge not, that ye be not judged

MATTHEW 7:1-5

 

RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT

There are many examples of people judging others in the scriptures. Paul prayed that our love would abound more and more in all judgment (Phil. 1:9). In light of the scriptures where Jesus and the disciples spoke of judging, it is evident that there must be a right and a wrong type of judging.

In Luke 12:56-57, Jesus uses the words “discern” and “judge” interchangeably. A dictionary definition of “judge” can mean many things from “condemn” to “appraise, to form an opinion about; to think or consider.” There is certainly nothing wrong with discerning or appraising a situation or person. Quite the contrary, we need to try the spirits (1 Jn. 4:1). Judging when done as discernment, is good.

It is the condemning type of judgment that is wrong. We can defer passing sentence on people to God, and know that He will make a perfect judgment (Rom. 2:2, Rev. 20:13). God is ultimately the only qualified judge.

Jesus is not forbidding judgment, but rather He is warning to be careful with our judgment because we will be judged accordingly. There are certain cases where we have to pass a condemning sentence as Paul did or as a judge would do today. Pastors and elders are charged with rebuking and even disciplining church members, but it is not something to be done lightly. Judging is not aimed at the person, but the actions of that person. This warning constrains us to be certain that we have heard from God. We must not simply vent our own frustrations.

Every Christian has a need for wisdom in making judgments about how to live from day to day. How wonderful to know that God through His Word has already equipped us to judge.

May the LORD bless Nigeria, American and Israel and take care of us; May the LORD 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!
