THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL

Romans 1:16

 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
--------------------------------------------
 One of the powerful tools that God has given us is the power in His word. Many people say that they don't want to hear anything to do with the gospel. It is not their making, the devil clearly knows that faith comes by hearing. And he knows that they will be saved from his traps if they listen. When you give someone time to listen to the gospel, there will be a time when the spirit in them yields salvation unto them.

It is not in your power to save yourself; it is not in your power to save a soul. It is the power of God through the gospel. It is therefore a role that you should play; to listen to the gospel. Salvation is like a seed that needs watering for it to grow and do the work. For salvation to become salvation, there should be a watering process that should be done. If you feel you need salvation, you have to embrace the watering process.

Now before we continue further, many of us think salvation is a once a while thing and that is done. We think that it is only the unbelievers that need salvation and that we the believers don't need it.
My dear friend, the Bible says that the devil goes to and fro the earth, looking for whom to devour. Every day, the devil is looking to impart incurable sicknesses into your body. Every day, the devil is looking for how to ruin your marriage. Every day he is looking for how to make you backslide. Even when you are asleep, the devil is busy working to overthrow the things that you have built through Christ. It is therefore obvious that we need salvation every day. Salvation refers to saving. Saving from danger and from whatever trap the devil sets everyday.

Now it is clear within scripture that the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes. We receive salvation from the gospel. 
It is therefore incumbent upon us to listen to the gospel occasionally. The power in it will build our standard of salvation. Read within scripture daily, there is power. There is power to heal you, there is power to rescue you . There is power to direct your paths. There is power in the word of God. Whatever you think of doing on a daily basis, let feeding on this word be one of your priorities.

                    GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
