The Power of the Cross.

And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. 

Luke 24:2-6 (ESV)

We preach Christ crucified. As you go about everything you are doing this next few days, you need to think of the power on the cross. God is our healer and the power of the cross and resurrection can and will heal. The essence of Easter is the way that Christ brings to all; the Lord will make a way out of every situation we might find ourselves.

I want to assure you that God can do only what He has said He will do. This is a day of celebration and thanksgiving. Talk to God this Easter morning with everything that you have, tell Him all the things that you are going through and all the things that you need. Put your head on God’s shoulder this morning and talk to Him the only way that you can and in a way that you can have a conversation with Him.

Ask Him to come into your life and bring about the change that only He can bring. Have the expectation that He will speak and listen attentively to hear. Expect Him to heal, bless, forgive and bring about a change in your life. Bow your heart and soul before Him who says it is finished and finished the enslavement of sin in the lives of men.

If you are here today and you want to have a new start, to reconnect with Jesus. If you want God to bring about a special change that ensures that all hold of the devil upon your life is broken, He is asking you to come today. Open your heart and allow Jesus to come in and take His place. Let Him fill your life with the power of His resurrection. Come and meet Him that the foot of the empty tomb. The tomb is empty, Jesus has risen as the prophets have foretold. God himself is waiting for you and come rise in victory with Him even on a resurrection morning like this.

Father Lord we thank you, we truly bless and glorify your name. Your sacrifice over the life of your own will not be in vain.

Have you missed your time? Pt2

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3 (ESV)

God sent an Angel to Moses in the burning bush, this attracted his attention. When God saw that Moses turned aside and look, He called Moses and that was beginning of his purpose for the freedom of Israel from slavery.

I want to tell you today that God will send an Angel to you and their will be a reset for your life. This very week God will press the reset button to your life and things will turn around for you.

Whatever mistake we have made God is able to turn it to good, all we need to do is turn to God and talk to Jesus.

Moses moved before his time and in his push to be the deliverer of his brothers the Israelite, he made a mistake and he found himself in the wilderness of life. A lot of people makes mistake when they are not walking in the purpose and the season of life.
How do you know you are in the wilderness of life?

• You are not satisfied with where you are, that feeling is all over you
• You find yourself in a strange relationship
• When you come to certain age and you know you don't measure up to your colleagues

God met Moses in the wilderness while he had missed his time. The prayer is that God will meet us in the wilderness of life and make a way for us to that place of reset.
Know this;

• God has a plan for your life
• God is with you all the time
• As you consistently remind God and open your heart to Him; He will continue to speak to you
• When you learn from the mistakes of the past, God will speak for you
• You are going through the wilderness of life so that God can bring you out. 

Today lift your eyes and heart up to the Lord and accept His help.

Have you missed your time?

For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. Habakkuk 2:3 (ESV)

Why is it called palm Sunday? People put down palm and their clothes for Jesus to ride on the colt. Why did the people do that? Why would people go about shouting hosanna in the highest and throwing down the palms and their clothes for Jesus to ride on? Matthew 21: 1-11.

It happened that way because that was His time. Jesus moved in His time and when the time came the people obeyed the purpose of the time as prophesied in the bible. The people didn't know who Jesus was, a lot of the time they looked for Him to make Him king but it didn't happen. But when His time came something moved the people to act in the fulfilment of the scripture. God will activate something that will move people to act in your favour when the time comes.

There is a great future ahead of every man. you are not a mistake you are not born by accident. God knows the reason why He created you at this time and moment. Everyone on earth was created for a specific purpose, at a specific time for a specific destiny. so you must look at yourself as somebody special unique and created for a specific purpose.

The reason why they were crying Hosanna for Jesus was because His time was come. If we walk with God, work for God and work with Him God will reveal us when the time is right.
Moses was scheduled to free the children of Israel at the age of 50 but by age 40 he made a mistake and it took another 40 years for the time to be reset again. sometimes a lot of us have missed our set time and we find ourselves wondering about in the wilderness.

• Sometimes we have gone into the wrong relationship and missed our time
• Other times we missed our time because we gone into the wrong career
• For some of us it is some business or career decisions we have taken; investing in the wrong business, made business mistakes, taking the wrong job, employing the wrong staff
• Sometimes we moved at the wrong time and jumble up everything or having the wrong solution to a problem

Remember, God is able to do that reset for you today all you need to do is ask him for the help. 

Knowing God is the set time! pt2

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11: 6

Moses asked who should I tell Pharaoh that you are? God’s response was “I am”. Exodus 3: 14.  God introduces Himself to us based on our needs and what we want Him to be at any time we need Him to be. God wants to know what we think of Him and that is when our time sets. God is not going to become bigger, stronger, He will not love you more but what you need is to know Him. When you know Him, you walk in the manifestation as the son/daughter of God.  The love of God is spread abroad by the spirit in our hearts. Therefore, other people come from other religion and know Christ more than we do. Knowing God and who He is sets us apart. Those who come unto God must know that He is. God is not trying to be; He is!

To know God and who He is, we need to forget everything we know initially. For something to exist it must be kept under the control of time. God cannot be put in the frame of time. For anything to be, it must be in God. Even the expression of time is in God. In God is life; for life to be alive it must be hidden in God. That is why God is so big we cannot know Him. That is why the bible says as we behold the image of God we become transformed.

Paul said I commend you to the word of His grace which can build you up to get an inheritance with Christ. What you know and what we have when we know God is different from what the world knows. When we do not know God, we become afraid of the things happening in the world and in our life. When we concentrate on what God has given to other we will not know what God has given to us. God has given you something and that makes you special and important. There is something you have that will make you shine brighter that the person you see. Christ knows God and that is why He went into the synagogue and opened the page concerning Himself.The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,   To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Luke 4:18 KJV. There is a page concerning you, when you open your page you will find the person that God has created you to be; you will find God. Such as you have given it gladly and simply.

There is a time that God has set for you, walk into it! How much of God do you know? That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;   If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3: 10-11 KJV. When we know God, He will set us up for a set time. The day we know God we will depend on Him. The stone which the builder rejected will become the chief corner stone when we know God and who God is. The anointing that opens the eyes of the blind opens blind pockets.

Your set time is today! The secret is in knowing God’s set time. At times, you think God has forgotten you, not at all. He is piling it and there will soon be an overflow of His blessings upon your life. Knowing God is the set time. The blessings of God make rich. God can go before you and finish the business you are about to start, He can go before you and finish the journey you are about to embark on. All He needs from you is to know Him and who He is.

Knowing God is the set time!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11: 1 & 6

The set time! Some years ago, someone said to me God’s time is the best. Then I began to wait for God’s time to come to pass in my life and it did not come. There is nothing like God’s time in the bible. God’s time or the set time is your time! It is the time you come to believe that He is. The bible says without faith it is impossible to please God. We must realize and understand that God is a rewarder, He rewards what we have done. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him; those who look for Him.

Those who follow Christ do not get into religion, they follow the words laid down by God. Knowing God is the said time. Until we get to that time that we can say we know God, our set time will not come. God is not waiting for a time to come, He is waiting for us to know Him. It is when we know Him that things begin to take shape. Galatians 4: 1 – 2.

Our life should not be a change of religion but it should be a change of personality. We need to get to a place where we know the person of Christ. Christianity is about living the power of the word and hence manifest the sonship of God. Psalm 102: Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion:
for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. Whatever what God wants to do in our life He won’t do it until we can say we know God. Our overall goal should be on following God and living His word; not on following a religion.

The glory reign is not for the living. It is for those who are ready to say I have met Jesus. The more we know God the more we disappear. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Hebrew 11: 5 KJV.  Enoch knew God and the bible records this. Paul said it is no longer I that live but Christ lives through me.

How much of God do you know? But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrew 11:6 KJV.
