GOD IS A SPIRIT

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 4:24 KJV” God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Our key scripture reveals that God is a Spirit. Spirits are supernatural or immaterial beings, who exist in a state far and beyond this world of time, space, and matter. Spirits can convert into material yet they are not material. They can appear in the natural world and disappear from it. Spirits function within a state of infiniteness and by higher laws than that of our material world.

 The finite mind cannot fully conceptualise the Spirit beings or the Spirit world (1 Corinth 1:21-23). Faith is what helps the natural beings to relate with the Spirit beings. Spirits must only reveal themselves to the natural beings before they can know them (John 1:18). The natural must accept the Spirit by faith (Heb 11:3).it is on this wise that God can be related to by faith (Heb 11:6). We must worship Him by faith.

Our heavenly father is the father of spirits and needs our absolute surrender. Heb 12:9 KJV” Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? Our heavenly Father is not just a spirit. He is the source of all spirits. We must worship Him and exalt Him above all.

An important point to notice is the influence of the Holy Spirit in worshipping the Lord. Christians have been made alive unto God, from the dead by the power of the Holy Ghost (Eph 2:1). The Holy Spirit, through our recreated Spirit enables us to worship the Father. It is the Holy Spirit who reveals the Father to us. John 14:16 KJV “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;” We learned in our earlier studies that worship must be done in Holiness. It is the Holy Spirit who sanctifies the believer for acceptable worship.1Pe 1:2 KJV “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:” Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

 Every true worship of the child of God can only be done through the enabling of the Spirit. The man without Christ offers empty worship.  The Holy Spirit is our comforter or helper, so ask Him to lead you in your worship.

THOUGHT:  WORSHIP IS DEMANDED BY GOD, BECAUSE, IT GIVES GOD HIS RIGHT PLACE IN OUR LIVES.

PREJUDICED ABOUT CHRIST

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 1:46 KJV “And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see”.

Philip enthusiastically talked about Jesus to Nathaniel. The moment he heard that Jesus was from Nazareth, he remarked, can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Nazareth was a very wicked place and people from there were seriously stigmatised. Nathaniel was therefore prejudiced about the Lord. In our modern experiences, many are prejudiced about Christ and the gospel. It is a popular thinking that Christianity is a white man’s religion, and so what good can it offer? This error gives birth to prejudice. It is rather unfortunate that most people who say such things are intellectually elite. Studying history at our secondary levels teaches us that Christianity originated in the Middle East and spread to Europe. Some even suggest the bible was written by Europeans. How could these people have known the vivid locations in Israel and the neighbouring states or towns? Please note archaeology keeps answering questions about the validity of the Bible. Many of such opposers of the scriptures dwell on such errors and so are prejudiced about the truth of our Lord Jesus.

When Nathaniel expressed his prejudice, Philip just said come and see. He did not argue with him. Many times, we spend too much time trying to convince people about Jesus. The sweetness of the pudding is in the eating. Soap is useless until you wash yourself with it. Just challenge them to try Jesus, if he would not fill them with peace of mind and heart. He would also take away their bad temper and fill them with love and respect for others. They should taste Him and see if he would not heal their sick bodies. As Philip did, may we also do the same and we will see the number of souls who would turn to Jesus.

A Muslim man who had been tormented by the spirits he had contacted through sorcery, in seeking for solution, entered an Assemblies of God church, called Holy Hill. The pastor (Dr. Kwadwo Bempah) said in the course of his message that if you are in doubt about the transforming power of Christ, just give your life to Jesus, and see if within three months things won’t get better. This man said he likes challenging statements of this kind. He accepted Christ expecting a change within three months. To cut a long story short getting to three months he heard a message from this same man of God as he was casting away devils. The man instantly vomited all the cowries and other charms he had swallowed. He got his phone to take a shot of it and the charms turned into a snake and sped off. (You may call the church located at Kwame Nkrumah circle-Accra, Ghana, close to the GCB bank or You may call the following telephone number 0244380458 to verify) The man is now serving the Lord happily in that same church.

My point is, in most cases do not argue with the one who is prejudiced about Jesus, just ask him or her to give Jesus a try.

JESUS CALLS YOU

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 1:43 KJV “The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.”

The Lord Jesus met Philip and without introducing Himself to him, or explaining anything to him,  asked him to follow Him. This act speaks volumes to every one of us. Jesus is the Lord; He owns us and does not need to negotiate with anyone He wants to use in His vineyard. Psalms 95:7 KJV “For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice,” The next verse says harden not your heart when you hear His voice.

 It is the worst error for anyone to refuse His call.

We did not make ourselves, He made us for His pleasure.

 We are only truly satisfied when we do that which pleases Him.

Today Jesus is calling you. Whenever God calls on a man to do something, it is to elevate and bring him honour. Abraham was in an idolatrous home, that used to sacrifice their children in fire for their idols. The Lord in love came to him and said.” ……unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” Gen 12:1. Now why did He ask Abraham to leave? He added, “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing: Abraham was obedient, and so God fulfilled his promise to the letter. God remains the best employer.

 He has the best plans for anyone He calls.

The sad truth is that many have refused His call because, just as the devil deceived Eve about God’s plans for them, they have been deceived about God.2nd Corinth 4:4 says the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe, so the light of the glorious gospel of Christ should shine on them.

They are woefully engrossed in darkness without knowing. No matter the social status of such people, they are very miserable deep down in their hearts. Their inner misery leads them to find satisfaction in all kinds of pleasure that never takes away that inner vacuum.

 Dear one, having all the girls, the drinks, or the parties has always left you feeling empty.

Why not humble yourself and respond positively to the Lord’s call today?

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, I am sorry for refusing your call. Have mercy on me. I declare that you are the only Lord of my life and the Saviour of my soul. Take over the reign of my life now. Thank you for saving me. Amen.

THOUGHT:  THE BEST DECISION YOU EVER MADE, IS WHEN YOU MADE JESUS, LORD OF YOUR LIFE.

JESUS HAS ALL THE AUTHORITY

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 28:18 KJV “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

After the Lord Jesus’ resurrection, He met with His disciples and announced to them that, all power is given unto Him. The word translated power, is from the Greek word ‘exousia’ which means authority. We know that authority is the right to exercise power. If a policeman carries his gun around, no one would challenge Him. When a civilian carries an AK47 gun around, everyone will be asking who is this? He does not have the authority to carry that weapon around. Jesus obtained this authority as a result of His obedience in going to the cross and dying for all men. (Philippians 2:5-11). The scripture said that because He humbled Himself and died on the cross God has also highly exalted Him, and given Him a name that is above every name. That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, and every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord.

We learned in an earlier study that; Jesus is God. Remember the request He made to the Father in John 17:5 KJV “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.  By this prayer, we realised He had a kind of Glory just like God the Father. If He had such a glory then He had a name that was superior to any other name. Why did He have to die and obtain this kind of authority? That authority was obtained to be given over to men, you and I. The Lord conquered as a man, so men could legally own the right to use that authority (Heb 2:14,15). The authority our Lord Jesus obtained has been given to us through His name. He said, in my name, you shall cast out devils. Mark 16:16-17

Dear child of God, by the name of Jesus you have a superior authority than Satan. Whenever you call on Jesus’ name against any condition or devil, it can never resist you.

Phi 2:10 KJV” That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth”. All the authority in the universe is in the name of Jesus. Know also that no power or being can resist that authority. Use the name of Jesus, with this understanding, and see sicknesses dissolve away. Get difficult problems to submit to you. Don’t consider yourself, just trust that, that name has the highest authority, on earth, in heaven, and under the earth.

CONFESSION

Whenever I make a demand in Jesus’ name, it is the same as Jesus Himself commanding the condition to change. No power, name, or being can resist the power in Jesus’ name. In His name every devil is cast out, every sickness is dissolved, and every condition is put right.

JESUS, GOD’S LAMB

KEY SCRIPTURE; John 1:29 KJV” The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

When John saw Jesus he prophesied about Him, saying, behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Please note that any child of God who has the Spirit of God can prophesy. Throughout recorded scripture, lambs have always been used as sacrifices unto God for several reasons. The Lord Jesus was to be the Lamb of God who would be sacrificed on behalf of men for the remission of their sins (Heb 9:22). According to the word of God, sin entered the world through   Adam’s sin and death passed on to every person. (Rom 5:12). For man to be made alive unto God, Jesus had to die in our place, so that when a man receives Jesus as Lord, he is made alive from death (Eph 2:1)

The scripture says Jesus is the lamb of God who took away the sin of the world. Sin is a reproach to any person or a group of people. Sin makes rebels out of sons. Sin keeps men far from God their father (Isaiah 59:1&2) Sin shuts God’s ears from hearing the prayers of His children. For the Lord to take away our sins, He had to become sin.2Co 5:21 KJV “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” He became like a serpent in our place John 3:14. The death of Jesus is a symbol of defeat to Satan. This is the reason the blood makes us victors over Satan. Rev 12:11.

Observing the communion is an announcement of the defeat of Satan. It results in various releases of the children of God from all forms of bondage. Always approach the communion with joy, in appreciation of the Lord, and an expectation of victory from every defeat.

Every child of God must be grateful for what Jesus has done for us. We must resolve not to give any place to sin. Sin although, separated and rendered ineffective in the child of God, would assume mastery over anyone who subjects himself to it. Rom 6:16 KJV” Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”.

Please note: the strength of sin is the law, why? (1 Corinth 15:55) Living by the law is living outside the Spirit’s influence rather than dwelling on the flesh to win.

Do not give any place to the flesh, live constantly in the Spirit.

PRAYER

Thank you, heavenly father, for delivering me from sin and placing me in the Spirit. I live in the spirit and give no occasion to the flesh to have any dominance over me. My life is upward and forward only.

JESUS LIVES AND REVEALS HIMSELF

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 14:19 KJV” Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.”

The Lord declared that, when He leaves the disciples into glory, the world would not see Him. He added that His disciples would continue to see Him. The Lord has consistently shown Himself to His disciples. Acts 1:3 KJV” To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things about the kingdom of God:” This was the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus to the disciples. God used these visitations to strengthen the disciplines. The Lord said, “His disciples will continue to see Him. How were they going to see Him?” Christians see the Lord as we study and read the scriptures. He is the word of God John 1:1. By reading and meditating on the word of God, Jesus is revealed to us.

We see Him as He answers the demands we make in His name. John 14:13,14 Every step of faith we take pleases Him, and He responds by answering, therefore manifesting His power. As we go about sharing His word with others, He works with us. Mark 16:20 KJV “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”

Jesus reveals Himself through various Christians, as we live by the word of God. God intends to reveal His Son Jesus through us. Galatians 1:15-16 KJV “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:” Every Child of God is God’s vessel to reveal His Son. We have to understand we have received the ability to do so and must yield to the Spirit’s leading always. Please note that your call as a child of God is to make Jesus known, first, by your life, and by your speech.

Finally, the Lord comes to many of His children through visions of all kinds. Our Lord has appeared physically to some Christians, or audibly spoken to them. Jesus indeed went to the heavens, yet through the Holy Spirit with us, we see and fellowship with Him in various ways.

JESUS NEVER CHANGES

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 15:30 (KJV).  “And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them:”

Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. If people would come to Him as they came to him during the days of the Bible, He would heal the sick, and cleanse. the lepers and even raise the dead. Please read Matt 15:30-38. This passage is like a playback of earlier chapters. It is not a repetition of an old event but a new one. Jesus keeps healing the sick over and over again. He does not change. It only means He would do the same for you today.  Dear one wherever you are today, the same Spirit of Christ is present with you: speak to Him like you would if He was physically present, expecting to receive whatever those people had experienced.

The scripture teaches that “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) You don’t have to be in a big special meeting before you can see that mighty healing power of God. Those people came at a time when He was just having a quiet moment, yet He quickly stopped whatever he was doing and answered their prayer. When you pray to Him as the people prayed to Him, be confident He has heard and answered you.  Start doing whatever you cannot do. Keep rejoicing and being excited that He has healed you.

Evangelist T L Osborne shared an experience that can help you to receive your healing, even wherever you are today. He said He held a crusade in Kenya where there were massive miracles and healings. The whole program was recorded and put on special cassette players to be distributed to people who could not make it to the crusade. A man had one of the recorded programs on the cassette player and brought it to a man who was a paralytic. He was left to die in a mud hut.  When he received the recordings from the crusade, he listened to them several times. He decided to pray asking the Lord to heal him like the testimonies he heard from the crusade. After praying, he decided to do what the man of God instructed the people at the crusade to do. ‘Those who could not walk must start walking, he said.’ They made the effort to walk, and to God’s glory, many walked. This paralytic also decided to rise. He struggled and made every effort to rise but to no avail. He did not give up. He even had bruises on his shoulder, but kept trying, for he believed Jesus had healed him like the people at the crusade. As he kept struggling to walk, he instantly felt some warmth in his body. Strength came to him and he stood up, perfectly whole. Jesus had made him well. He is the same.

If you prayed, He heard your prayer. He answered you. Begin to do whatever you cannot do. Don’t give up trying to do it. He is present and would perfect your condition.

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I pray unto you, and ask for your provision, protection and healing of my body in the name of Jesus. I thank you for healing me in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD

KEY SCRIPTURE Matthew 27:54 KJV “Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”

The centurion and those present at the death of Jesus testified that, indeed He is the Son of God. They came to this conclusion after being witnesses to all that happened after he died. They saw the whole earth go dark, the earthquake, and the words Jesus said as He hung on the cross. These people came to the solid conclusion that He is the Son of God, as He testified. To say Jesus is the Son of God, is not referring to being born by God as humans give birth, but refers to the fact that He is of the God kind. It means He is in the class as God. He is one with God the Father.

 There are so many evidences that shows that Jesus is the Son of God.

The Lord Jesus made certain statements that no one ever spoke that way.

He said I am the resurrection and the life (John 11:25). He also said He is the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, but through Him. (John 14:6) He even said I am the light of the world. John 9:5. All these are very serious statements. There were many more such statements that He said about Himself. A person saying such things should either be a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord of Glory. He is never a liar because His words have proven to be very true, in every form of it. He can’t be a lunatic, because many lunatics have been healed in His name. Since the first two are not possible then He is the Lord of glory.

Jesus’ resurrection also reveals He is the anointed Son of God. Rom 1:4 KJV ‘And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: “

The witness of the apostles was on the fact that Jesus died but was resurrected. Almost all of them but John the Beloved died terrible deaths, through persecution. All on the testimony that Jesus rose from the grave and that they saw and fellowshipped with Him.

The conversion of Apostle Paul, opposed, persecuted, and made havoc of the church. A strong defender of the law suddenly was transformed and started talking about the grace of God. Apostle Paul also died a martyred death with the testimony that He also met the resurrected Christ.

In light of this evidence, would you join the Roman centurion to say that Jesus is the Lord of my life?

JESUS IS THE ONLY TRUTH

KEY SCRIPTURE: Matthew 21:42 (KJV).  “Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?”

Our Lord Jesus has been attacked throughout history till today, yet He remains the one single personality who has affected countless millions throughout history till date than any other. Some even say he is a myth, yet anyone who bows to His Lordship receives a real meaning in life.  He is the chief cornerstone of the proper construction of any life. No building can be raised perfectly without the cornerstone He is the way, the truth, and the life. In Him is life, and the life is the light of men. Without Him, every man would continue to grope in darkness. Dear one, do not allow your life to be misled by anyone.

Over the years countless numbers of people from all walks of life, have encountered the resurrected Lord at various moments of defeat and failure. They realized He was the stone that the builders could not reject. To those whose hearts are in turmoil because of various challenges in this life, Jesus is the calmer of storms and would fill your heart with peace. If you have a character that is a reproach to yourself, He will help you fix it. He is the greatest physician and would answer your health questions. He is the great I am. Whatever you are crying for He says He will be that thing for you. All that you require is to bow to His Lordship over your life.

The scriptures warn us against being taken captive or deceived. Jesus is the fulness of the Godhead bodily. “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” — Colossians 2:8 (KJV).

The above verse shows us how men deceive others. The process of deceit is always the same. One way that one could be deceived is through philosophy. Philosophy is an expression of human wisdom. It could also be said to be common sense. According to the Bible men through common sense cannot know God. 1st Corinth 1:21-23. The other means of deceit is just vain deceit. How deceptive to claim the Bible was written by Europeans to deceive blacks.  Archaeological findings have firmly established the Middle East as the origin of the Bible. A more sure ground for its reliability is the Bible’s transforming power. No one who has truly submitted to its teaching has not received a real change of life.

KNOWING JESUS IS KNOWING THE FATHER  2

KEY SCRIPTURE: John 8:19 KJV “Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.”

Our topic for today is the answer to the question, who is God? What does He do? Does God exist? Men have struggled with these questions for centuries and many are still yet to have the answers, although God answered them a long time ago, about two thousand years ago. The following scripture reveals vividly the identity of Jesus as He shows us who God is. Heb 1:3 KJV ” Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” Our Lord Jesus is the brightness of the glory of God. He reveals the power and mighty deeds of the great invisible God. He is also the expressed image of His person. The word ‘express image’ is the Greek word, ‘charakter’ which means the exact expression of any person.

 Jesus was a man that history testifies that He once lived on this earth, and made a level of impact in the lives of men, that cannot be wished away by anybody, army or situation.

The worst persecution of His course could not erase His impact because it is true.

 His birth into this world reveals God. He had no human father. Luke 1:35 narrated His birth process. It read the Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the highest shall overshadow you, and the child shall be called the Son of God. The term Son of God does not just mean born by God, but it means in the same class, nature as God. It also means He is God’s kind, just as the son of man means of humankind. This should erode every question on everyone’s mind about whether God exists. John writes it this way, and the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth. John 1:14.

His life was a stream of outstanding miracles. He turned water into wine, raised several dead people back to life, and healed countless sick people. He fed multitudes with a few loaves of bread and fishes, on two occasions. He walked on water and calmed a raging storm. He demonstrated a perfect love for all persons, even for all those who hated Him and strove to kill Him. He taught in a way that no teacher has ever taught that way. At the end of a glorious life of blessing, lifting, and placing smiles on the faces of all those who came to Him, He crowned it with victory over suffering, and death. He gloriously resurrected on the third day to establish that He is Lord over everything, even death, which was the greatest enemy of men. His resurrection was also the victory card for man’s redemption.

 All these show us who God is and does.

Once again, His resurrection revealed the invisible God to us. He was resurrected never to die again. This shows the reality of everlasting life which only God has, but has been given to all who would believe in Him. Dear one let the questions about the mystery of God cease by accepting the revelation of God in Jesus His Son.

Jesus brought the great God of the universe to the human experience. In seeing Jesus, I see God and have no questions. The beauty of it is that in seeing Jesus, I also see myself, for He came to live in me. God is at home in my heart. God is not somewhere, but He lives in me, this is only by grace. Now I can live the God kind of life, living above sin, sicknesses, and Satan. What a mystery, God at home in me and you
