ALIVE THROUGH CHRIST

Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2022

Bible Text: 1 Corinthians 15:20-22

Memory Verse: "For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." 1 Corinthians 15:22, NIV

One of my secondary School classmates was a Prince whose father was a king in a nearby town and was very rich. At weekends, I used to visit him in the palace, and we read and study together. Sometimes, the king ask one of the drivers in the palace to take me home in one of the king’s car.
Like I enjoyed certain royal benefits because my friend was a Prince, all those who believe in Jesus as their Lord and Saviour will also enjoy unlimited benefits in God. A very important benefit we stand to enjoy is being fully alive. To be alive is to have the consciousness of God's presence and God's grace in your life, and to live a prevailing life over Satan, sin and darkness. To be alive in God also refers to the ability to walk with God here on earth and having the assurance of a blissful life hereafter.
Are you truly consciously walking with Jesus? Are you enjoying all His benefits? If your response is not in the affirmative, rise up today and pray unto God to revive you by His Holy Spirit so you can begin to enjoy all the benefits attached to His saving grace.

Insight: Christianity is more than a religion; it is a personal and daily walk with Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Almighty God, stabilize my feet on the path of righteousness always in Jesus name!

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
“Anything I wanted, I got. I did not deny myself any pleasure. I was proud of everything I had worked for, and all this was my reward. Then I thought about all that I had done and how hard I had worked doing it, and I realized that it didn't mean a thing. It was like chasing the wind — of no use at all” (Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 TEV).

MOCKED FOR OUR SAKE

Date: Friday, April 15, 2022

Bible Text: Matthew 27:27-31

Memory Verse: “Then they spat on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again” Matthew 27:30, NIV

When Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified, his Soldiers took Him and had a filled day mocking and tormenting Him. They stripped Him of His robes, forced a crown of thorns on His head and bowed before Him and hailed Him as the king of the Jews. They further spat on Him, struck Him on the head before leading Him to be crucified.

All that Jesus suffered were not because He was a criminal. But He took the place of sinners and was humiliated and mocked, beaten and battered for our sake before He was ultimately crucified and died for our sins.

The mockery and pain that Jesus suffered for your sake must not be in vain. As we commemorate His ordeals, it will be a good time to reflect on His sacrifice for you. Have you accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior? Remember, He was mocked for your sake. The shame, the reproach, the suffering, and ultimately the death He suffered were for your sake. He took your place to pay the penalty for sin. You should have suffered but He replaced you in the suffering that you might gain eternal life.

Insight: If Christ gave Himself for us, nothing stops us from offering our lives to Him.

Prayer: Lord, help me respond appropriately to your sacrifice for me.

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
“But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption” (Hebrews 9:11-12 NKJV).

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Jesus Christ has made the once-for-all sacrifice. No other sacrifice is needed or accepted by God.

"LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBILITY (2)"
“Our competence comes from God. He has made us competent.” 2 Corinthians 3: 5-6 NIV

DAVID WAS “on a roll.” He kept winning battle after battle. He had the Midas touch; everything he touched turned to gold! But success can go to your head, and David wasn’t exempt. He started wondering, “Just how strong are we?” At that point, he conducted a census and discovered he had “one million one hundred thousand [fighting] men” (1 Chronicles 21: 5 NIV). That could tempt any of us to think, “With an army this size, and given our track record of success, who needs to pray for God’s help or ask Him for a plan?” That was the point at which God stepped in and judged David, and seventy thousand Israelites died needlessly (See v. 14 NIV). So here is another aspect of leadership you need to be aware of: Your mistakes have the potential to hurt others. You’re not just accountable to those who are over you; you’re responsible for those under you. After all, if your good decisions have the ability to bless and guide people, your bad decisions have the potential to harm them. “David said to God, ‘Was it not I who ordered the fighting men to be counted? I, the shepherd, have sinned and done wrong…let your hand fall on me and my family, but do not let this plague remain on your people’” (v. 17 NIV). God graciously answered David’s prayer, and judgment was lifted from Israel. So, you need God’s guidance for your own sake, the sake of the people around you, and to give you the grace to accept responsibility when you fail. Don’t try to hide your failures, blame others, or run from God. Acknowledge them, grow through them, and go on to become wiser.

“CRUCIFY HIM”

Date: Thursday, April 14, 2022

Bible Text: Matthew 27:15-23

Memory Verse: “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah? Pilate asked. They all answered, ”Crucify him!” Matthew 27:22, NIV

Victor Hugo said: “I have examined the death penalty under each of its two aspects: as a direct action, and as an indirect one. What does it come down to? Nothing but something horrible and useless, nothing but a way of shedding blood that is called a crime when an individual commits it, but sadly called “Justice” when society brings it about.”

Although it was obvious that the crowd had no real offense to accuse Jesus but they chanted “crucify him” “crucify him” they were willing to shed innocent blood and to bear the guilt of doing so (Matthew 27:24-25). They were obviously instigated by the devil. The Jews forced the hand of the law to clamp down on an innocent blood.

Fortunately for us and unfortunately for the devil and the people he instigated, the death of Jesus, particularly the shedding of His blood was ordained for the remission of our sins but for the destruction of the works of Satan (Colossians 2:13-15). Please, never be involved in any form of evil. Bear no false witness against anyone, especially when such action leads to the destruction of such person.

Insight: The blood of Jesus saves sinners and destroys the works of Satan.

Prayer: Help me Lord, never to contribute to or support evil.
