THE POWER UNTO SALVATION
1 Corinthians 1:17-31

Man can never know God by rational thinking or by calculations of the brain. The so called learned and enlightened that have tried to analyse and explain God by logic ended up with meaningless theories and arguments.
Our passage today questions therefore, “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.”

The world may trivialise or disdain the gospel. But you and I know that the Gospel is “...The power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” It is our duty to go for these disputers and bring them to have a taste of the goodness of the Lord. Never make the mistake of thinking that any one has gone too far in sin that they cannot be drawn to the Lord. Again, never consider anyone too rich, too comfortable or too sophisticated to be reached out to with the word of God.
You will be surprised to find out when you make the move that the “bigger” people also have bigger burdens that have robbed them of sleep and kept them searching for help.
If you truly believe that God’s word is powerful, take the Good News to all and sundry. You are the angel God will send to certain persons. If you fail to reach them, they will perish and God will hold you accountable.

Pray that converts will mature quickly into disciples and sons – playing effective roles in God’s kingdom.
Pray that the church will embrace evangelism and church growth with a sense of urgency

CONFESSION: Lord, I surrender afresh my spirit, soul and body to you. Use me any way you choose.

His Channels

Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...
