  WONDERLAND:       TOMORROW HOPPERS  Proverbs 23:17-18 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. --------------------------------------------     The one thing that makes sinners give up and don't seek repentance is hope . They fail to hope for change. Hope starts with imagination. You imagination a better world and you continue to repent with hope for a change. But there is also something that steals our hope - the children of the Lord looking at the sinners of the world swim in prosperity. This kind takes away joy. The children of the God are subjected to certain rules and system that is meant to protect them from danger that comes with prosperity that is ill-gotten. And that the children are not given the things from the devil who gives all you desire to only take away your righteousness. This doesn't mean the childr...

  WONDERLAND:     WITNESSING GOD'S GOODNESS Joel 2:26   You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,  who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed --------------------------------------------     It is easy to get stuck in lack mode and learn survival. You learn helplessness. You learn to live on a little and barely. But God is not insufficient. He is not in lack. He is not limited. We may be limited. The plate of food your stomach can take in at the maximum is limited....you cannot go beyond that. The number of cups of water you can take in a day are limited and so you cannot forcefully take beyond that. The space that manmade machines can go to is limited, they can't go further than that. But you cannot say God has a specific number of cups to drink water or a specific distance He can go to and that beyond that, He is unable to proceed.  God is enoug...

  WONDERLAND:        WONDERS OF GOD  Psalm 40:5  Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done,   the things you planned for us. None can compare with you;   were I to speak and tell of your deeds,  they would be too many to declare --------------------------------------------     There is something that makes God move. You know, bringing the Israelites from Egypt was not the only core mission. We all know how short the distance would have been if they were to use all sorts of shortcuts. But God made them wander in the desert and rotate so many times at different places. He didn't want to see them move endlessly as He finds joy in that, no! He wanted to create a true and lasting wonder.  He made them move through a line of miracles and wonders to create a true and lasting story . I don't think It would have been lasting story if it all happened in one day. I don't think It would have been lasting story...

A SECRET TOOL Exodus 14:8 The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, so that he pursued the Israelites, who were marching out boldly. --------------------------------------------       Many times we pray that God takes away our enemies. We want to live a free life without disturbances. We want to have peace with all people. The bitter fact is that you cannot have peace with all people . Even though you try your hardest to make peace, there will be people who try in a certain way to bring in a thick atmosphere. They want to see some conflicts and misunderstanding. They want to see rivals. Even when Jesus was a good man, he still had enemies too. He had people that rejected his message. He still had people that spoke bad against him. He still had people that planned to kill him. Even his closest had one who planned bad things against him. But we never see anywhere in the bible where he prayed that his enemies should be banished and separated from his ...

CULMINATION :     THE MESSAGE LEFT TO US Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” --------------------------------------------       Jesus set the base on which all of us today stand on to do the things we do. He has done a lot in our lives. The risen Lord has healed some of us. The risen Lord has forgiven some of us. The Lord has given some of us a new beginning. We today have tested the impact of the risen Lord. We know the many wonders that He has done. It is bad manners if you have a great gift and keep it to yourself when you can truly share it with others. The Lord tells us to share the gift of salvation with other people. He encourages us to preach the word to all nations. He wants others to get as saved as you have. He wants...

CULMINATION :           OUR STORY AT THE RESURRECTION Mark 16:17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. --------------------------------------------      When Jesus said we can do more greater things than He did, what did He mean? The problem we have with belief is the thinking that certain things are done by specific people. But the question is , how specific are those people? Our thinking is contrary to what Christ thought about us. And He still does. In John 16:33, Jesus said that we shall overcome the world because He overcame. Regardless of the troubles that still may cont...

CULMINATION:               BLOODY LIFE Matthew 16:21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. --------------------------------------------        There is a way we seem to forget some rule. We tend to forget the trend of life . We tend to forget the way it feels to ride on a road to success. We tend to forget the pain that lies on a road to higher heights.  Jesus being the son of God would make us think that he wouldn't have to be persecuted and wouldn't have had to suffer in that way. Even when he could call angels to strike the opponents, he didn't do so. He knew the rule clearly. He knew the kind of life he was supposed to live. He told these ways of the road to the disciples that he would suffer to death ...
