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.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
