Jesus is our good Shepherd

I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. (John 10:14)
  The Lord Jesus used the scripture above to describe His primary responsibility towards us. Notice He didn’t say, “I am the apostle,” even though he is. He didn’t say, “I am the good prophet” even though yet again He is. He chose to describe Himself as the “good shepherd.” He’s our good shepherd! That’s another way of saying He’s our‘Good pastor’ because a shepherd is a pastor.

   David, by the spirit outlined the qualities of the good shepherd in Psalm 23: 1-3: “the lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” The Good shepherd feeds his sheep without their having to ask; He nurtures, guides and protects them from harm. He seeks out the best pasture for them and leads them to that pasture.
   As long as you follow Jesus, our Good shepherd, your life is made! It’s His responsibility to nurture and care for His sheep. Since the Lord Jesus has gone to heaven, one way He cares for His sheep today is through those He has called into  the pastoral ministry (Ephesians 4:11). That’s why it’s important that you attend church services and hear the word of God which is food from the Good shepherd.
  Remember, our Good Shepherd loved you enough to give his life for you. Thus He cares what becomes of your life. He wants you to live in absolute peace, joy health and prosperity. He wants you to fulfill your destiny in God without reproach. Hearken to His voice daily, and He’ll lead you in the path of greatness, prosperity and peace.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
