Memory Verse
“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well” ( Psalm 139:14)

Dearly Beloved

We bless the name of the LORD for a new day.

When we consider all the things God created, you would understand that man was wonderfully created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27). Having created man, God saw that everything He has made was ‘very good ‘ ( Genesis 1:31). Unfortunately, sin (evil) came into the world and separated man from God. We thank God for Jesus Christ who conquered sin and restored man to God.

The Psalmist puts it succinctly:
“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!” (Psalm 8:3-9).

Brethren , without Jesus Christ, man would have remained separated from God. Jesus removed that separation through His redemption work at the cross. If you see Jesus, you see God. If you know Jesus, you know God. When you have Jesus, you have God. When the disciples asked Jesus to show them the Father. His reply:
“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works” ( John 14:9-10).

Brethren, If you really know Jesus Christ, then you know God. God is a Spirit ( John 4:24), that lives in us. You are not ordinary. In Christ Jesus, you have been wonderfully recreated in the image and likeness of God.

Stay connected to JESUS, the Word of God.
Be knowledgeable. Be wise. Be enlightened.
The word of God is FIRE ( Jeremiah 23:29).
Connect, Change, and live (CCL).

Keep your thoughts & mind positive.

Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Be compassionate, merciful and kind to one another.

Glory be to God, Lord Jesus for your ascension and sitting on the right hand side of your Father. Hallelujah!

Brethren, if the Lord has given you gifts, let’s do the work of the ministry together in agreement (Matthew 18:19).

“Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:8-12).

Meditate on the word; share the word; teach the word; evangelise with the word.

Stay connected to JESUS, the Word . Seek knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

Walking in the Truth-by Rev Akpan.

DISCIPLESHIP SERIES

WALKING IN THE TRUTH

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth” (3John 4)

Beloved, Goodness and Mercy!

The will of God and His greatest desire is to see His children walking in the truth and not in deception. It gives Him joy to see us live a life of the knowledge of the truth. That way we’ll stand our ground against any form of misleading from the devil or his agents, and thereby fully represent Him wherever and in whatever circumstance we find ourselves.

To walk in the truth, we must basically know the truth in the first place. It is when people don’t know what is right that they embrace what is wrong – ignorantly. That is because they cannot differentiate between the two. Jesus Christ explicitly stated:
“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). In another place, He says “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life (John 14:6).

So automatically, knowing the Truth is knowing Jesus, and vice versa. And when one knows Him (the truth), he or she is supposed to be free from deception, from lies, and deceits. But how comes a lot of people claim to know Him, and yet are easily deceived?

It’s interesting to know that knowing Jesus goes beyond accepting Him as Lord and Savior or believing Him to be the Son of God. The real knowing of Jesus that can make one free is knowing the word of God as Jesus Himself is the word. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God… and the word became flesh and lived amongst us” (John 1:1,14).

But how many today in our busy, fast moving world know the word by spending time with Him (the word)?, which accounts for why they claim to know Him, but don’t know Him in reality.

To walk in the truth, to be free from deceit demands maturity in the word. According to Apostle Paul,
“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in deceitful scheming” (Ephesians 4:14).

To walk in the truth, Apostle Paul again admonishes:
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ” (Colossians 2:6-8).

Mark that phrase “rooted and built up” That is the key to walking in the truth. If we’re not rooted and built up in Him, we’ll find it difficult to walk in the truth.

May we get to know the truth (Jesus) via spending ample time with the word, thereby being mature to distinguish between the truth and the deception that is in the world. That’s when we’ll be able to walk in the truth – and bring Him joy. That is His will and desire for us.

Blessings!

Maranatha!
