TODAY’S YOUTHS, TOMORROW’S LEADERS

Scripture Reference: Exodus 33:11
So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

God handpicked Moses with all his weaknesses even as ineloquent person and He used him to bring the people of Israel out of Egypt.

However, as always, the day came when the younger generation had to take on the mantle. As mighty as Moses was, he couldn’t serve God and His people forever. There was the need for the upcoming generation to fill in his shoes.

Could anyone have taken over from Moses? No, that couldn’t have been possible. Moses’ successor had to be someone with similar godly qualities. The individual had to be a person of faith, prayer and of the Spirit.

It had to be someone who was ready to go all the way in spite of the odds with God – one who would take God at His Word and dare to believe His promises. These qualities were exactly what Joshua, Moses’ successor, possessed that made him such an instrumental servant of God.

If God was to chose someone to carry on a divine assignment, could you be the one? Is He going to give it a consideration in appointing you? How prepared and ready are you? The truth is; many are called but only few are chosen. How well are you positioning yourself today in order to fall among chosen ones? Selah!

Grace unto you,

WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?

WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY?

Scripture reference: 2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Are you a Christian? If your answer is ‘No’, then you are missing out dearly in life. Today is your day of salvation. You only have to say ‘Yes’ to Jesus, and you will become a member of God’s blessed family. Do read on to know how to say ‘Yes.’

If you are a Christian, what is your understanding of that which you profess to be part of? Get to know what Christianity is about so that you don’t perish in the affairs of life due to your lack of knowledge.

Although many people including some Christians think of Christianity as a religion, it is surely not. It just simply couldn’t have been. How could you read Bible Scriptures like the one above and still fail to recognise that it is more than a religion.

On the contrary, Christianity is the participation in the life of God through our relationship or fellowship with Him made possible by the redemptive works of Jesus Christ. Once you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth Jesus Christ is Lord over your life that relationship commences. This is how you say ‘Yes’ to Jesus.

At that very moment, the greatest of all miracles takes place; your old sinful spirit is recreated or born again through the Word of salvation you received and the power of the Holy Spirit. Then you become a brand new person with a new life full of righteousness, glory, power, peace, joy and fulfilment.

But there is more: God literally comes and makes His home in your new born spirit (heart) through the agency of the Holy Spirit. He dwells in you 24/7 making you a God-carrier. You are never alone since He is with you always. As a result, sin, sickness, sorrow and failure no longer have power over you because you are more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37).

Grace unto you,
