DIVINE PROVIDENCE BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING

Calvary greetings in Jesus name. Divine Providence has ways and means that go beyond human understanding.
Human abilities are limited except when God is involved. That was the case of Queen Esther of old testament history. Her case no doubt could be a story to learn from.
The Bible says of Mordecai to Esther:
" Tell Esther, " Don't be fooled. Just because you are living inside the King's palace doesn't mean that you out of all the Jews will escape the carnage. You must go before your King.
If you stay silent during this time, deliverance for the Jews will come from somewhere, but you, my child, and all of your father's family will die. And who knows? Perhaps you have been made queen for such a time as this " ( Esther 4 : 13-14 The VOICE BIBLE)
Are you in authority, "a bread winner" on quote, champion amongst friend's, head of families to mention just a few. Take note! If that opportunity to help your people, community, friends -- if you fail to make the right decision in life now when you have the opportunity, it may be late and regrettable.
Remember, that position you are now could be a purpose of God for you to help others. What you fail to do now God could replace you, and render you irrelevant.
Queen Esther realized it and acted accordingly.
Divine Providence has a way and means that go beyond human understanding.
Learn a lesson today and amend your ways before it is too late. The saying goes, " Make haste while the sun shines"
Bless your day.

A LOT OF THOUGHT FOR THE WISE

admin admin sermon
Calvary greetings to all Nigerians.
The Bible says:
" A naive ( proud, pompous, defiantly arrogant, scoffer, conceited, mocker) person wises up when he sees a mocker punished. A wise person becomes even wiser just by being instructed ( Proverbs 21: 11 italics mine)
Can I say here that some people are not instructed no matter their educational attainment. This is sad. You will agree with me, everyone may think his own way of living is right, but the Eternal examines the heart.
Some people do not guard their words, or mind what they say, and very soon they will find themselves in trouble. Most times, we do not like or want to believe it, but there are limits to what humans can accomplish.
Some public individuals in so many places are incarcerated today for careless utterances. I pray for more to be dumped in prisons, may be they will learn bitter lessons of their lives.
Some one says: " just a simple election" people choose to die.
I wish them luck. When will these people wises up and do the right thing. It is ironic that some may have traveled all over the world to see what happens elsewhere. Please, remember that simple election should not be a do or die syndrome
Remember, also that the final destination for mankind is the grave - some to Eternal glory and some to everlasting perdition.
The Bible says:
" For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul" ( Matthew 16: 26 KJV)
Consider this saying and be wise.
Bless your day.

THE TRUTH OF THE PASSION WEEK

admin admin sermon
Happy Jesus celebration to you all in Jesus name. The celebration is about the death and resurrection of Jesus our Lord. Briefly, let us sing this old song:
" He died on the cross, he died on the cross
Jesus died on the cross for me;
He rose from the grave, he rose from the grave
Jesus rose from the grave for me."
The passion week signifies sorrow and joy -- Sorrow as regards his passion for mankind, and Joy because he conquered the grave and the cross.
This week is to let Christians all over the world, to remember the last days of Jesus.
He told the Jewish religious leaders at the temple meant for the worship of God, and throw away the tables of those merchandising and money changers saying:
" Is it not written, my house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?
but ye have made it a dem of thieves" ( Mark 11:17).
The Scribes and Chief priest heard it, and sought how they might destroy he for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine -- verse 18..
Many things transpired between the religious leaders and Jesus for short of time -- where His authority comes from. What gives Him the right to heal people on the Sabbath, teach about God, do miracles, and cast out demons?
Many things transpired before Jesus' death on the cross.
The most amazing thing was when Jesus left Jerusalem to Bethany, where he spent the night ( recorded in Matthew 21: 17-18). The next day;
He cursed the fig tree when the fig tree, disappointing, had no figs, only leaves. The disciples were amazed, how the fig tree wither so quickly.
Jesus told them:
" If you have faith and not doubt, then you will be able to wither a fig tree with one glance. You will be able to tell mountains to throw themselves into the ocean, and they will obey."( The Voice Bible)
In other words, He is challenging His disciples to expect the physical creation to respond to their commands and faith.
I declare to you that with faith you will be able to command every mountain standing against you to respond to your command in Jesus name.
Remember, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the gate of hell shall not prevail against you. His Church that cannot be removed or destroyed or anything state or unhealthy in your heart.
The tree that wither is the temple and Jesus is the temple -- the church that death, corruption, or the scheme of men will never destroy.
In conclusion, the passion week is to let all Christians all over the world remember the last days of Jesus.
He cursed the fig tree, and it wither down to the root. The temple also was cleanse.
Let this Easter not just be a time for new clothes, eat the best meals but a time for prayer by faith in Jesus to set us free.
Prayer:
Father, please uproot my doubts and crush my fears in Jesus name.
Father, cleanse my heart of any thing that is contrary to your will in Jesus name.
Father, fill afresh with your faith and empower me to accomplish what you desire.
Father, let everything dead in my life resurrect in Jesus name.
Happy resurrection day in Jesus mighty name.

ALL HAVE SINNED

But the Lord says:
" But heed my warning: the one who goes against me will only hurt himself, for all who despise me are playing with fire and courting death( Proverbs 8:36 The VOICE BIBLE)
Are you surprised what is happening around the world today?
Our actions knowingly or unknowingly are going contrary to God's nature -- In the nature of God's justice that He acts to restore and repair a world that is not the way it should be.
Things are not the way it should be. Let us change from our wicked ways, and things will turn for the better in Jesus name.
Let's bow our heads and our hearts and pray:
Father, let mercy override justice in our lives and countries all-over the world in Jesus name.
The Bible says: in 2 Chronicles 7:14 - " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land "
Father, forgive us all in Jesus name.
We all need healing, and He will abundantly heal. That is the good news which the gospel brought to all mankind.
Bless your day.
