Ambassadors Of Christ

Anchor Scripture: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed" [Psalm 34:18] Dear family, If you find yourself answering yes to this question, take heart, for this message is not just for me but for everyone who bears a broken heart due to various circumstances. In the Gospel, we witness Jesus performing powerful healing miracles. Yet, there is another kind of ailment He came to heal—the illness of a broken heart. Earlier this year, I faced a situation that left me feeling like I was in the worst stage of my life. Hurt, heartbroken, and in agony, I thought I was in a living hell. But Jesus healed me, making this challenging period one of the greatest testimonies of my life. " Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ," Jesus declared. He beckoned me to let Him heal me, assuring me that He is the Great Physician, ready to touch me at the point of my pain. A broken heart may not be visible t...

Anchor Scripture: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." [Galatians 2:20] Loving like Jesus can seem like an overwhelming task, even an impossible one when we recognize our human limitations. I faced a similar dilemma when a friend was grappling with family issues. I desired to love, serve, and stand by my friend, yet I felt the weight of my own inadequacies. Questions flooded my mind: Was I strong enough to handle it? Could I commit fully to supporting my friend? Was I at risk of burning out or getting my heart broken? We, as humans, are flawed, sinful, and limited. The Bible calls us to be Christlike. But the question lingers: Are we truly strong enough to lay down our lives for our friends? In many ways, the answer is no. We are human, prone to errors, and far from perfection. Reflecting on a meme featuring a letter from a 5-...

  Anchor Scripture: "Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin" [Romans 4:8] I clearly remember a scene in a popularly known Christian series called : " Abbattoir" , in this scene a man who is known to be a murderer and ritualist in the movie was being preached to about Christ by his son who has long forgiven him, but in midst of their conversation, he made a striking statement: "How can a righteous man like Jesus forgive a filthy man like me?" 'What did i really do to deserve his forgiveness?" Majority of us have probably thought like this sometime back, some of us even currently think like this :( You think you are not worthy of forgiveness, especially not from such a righteous man. You think God can never forgive you for the things you have done, watched or said. But that is an absolute lie;  A lie from the pit of hell, a lie devised to steal away your sanity and joy. A lie that is standing between you and your salvatio...

  " But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners " [Romans 5:8]. We have probably seen movies that depict a man with a mask. " Masked " would probably be a good title. The mask portrays the individual as a smiling face to others, but right behind that same mask is reality - a " sad man "  This description applies to many individuals in the world, including in our kingdom (this includes us teens). We tend to say we are completely okay, while behind that mask, we are completely shattered and broken. We tend to say that all is well with us, but behind that mask, there is nothing that makes sense for you or in your life. This message is not only describing others but also me as well. Once upon a time, " I also hid behind a mask. " The Bible says, “ God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us ” (Romans 5:8). A lot of people, peers, and individuals wer...

INTRODUCTION I'm sure a large number of us have a best friend or best friends 🤗...... however it is for you.  You know that one person or people who know (s) almost everything about you if not everything 😂. You guys are always together but it may not be all the time due to school and some other barriers but when you have a chance; you're always on sight 😂👭🏻, always communicating and he/she always has the latest updates if you know what I mean 😂🤲🏻. He/she is seen like a sister or brother from another mother 😫❤️......you can tell each other anything. It's so beautiful to have such relationships with people but guess what?🤭. There's someone else who's even better than that best friend that you have and that person is the HOLY SPIRIT!!!. Yes!, That's His name.    Let me introduce Him to you because he's my no. 1 best friend. He's the third person in the Trinity and He's the one doing Abba's work here on earth. He's everywhere you go bu...

INTRODUCTION  This is a wonderful topic and I feel that there are many things we don't understand in this aspect of our relationship with God and we'd take a close look at this today 🤗.     Now...... what is worship?  I know it's a term many of use quite often and I guess we practice it often too 🌝. B asically, worship is the feeling or expression of reverence, awe or adoration to a deity. A deity is a God and anything could serve as a God.   As Christians, we serve a God and He is the one true-living God. As God, He deserves worship! . You know how traditionalists offer sacrifices in pots or plates or whatever to the deity that is carved?. They do it with all seriousness, you see the reverence they give, the respect and all other notable attitudes...... that's the same attitude God expects from us and even more!    I'd talk more about this but let's take a look at the Bible to see what God has to say about this 🤗.      “Believe ...

    INTRODUCTION I know many of us have so many troubles or situations that we're going through as individuals...... it's just not written on our faces but on the table of our hearts 🤧.  "Dear friends, you can table them on the altar where God will see it and exchange it for something better." For those of us who don't know what an altar is all about let's look into that now 🙂.  An altar is a place where worship or incense, prayer and is raised to God. It's a sacred place for sacrifice. So as a Christian, you should and must have an altar ......a secret place where you meet with God one on one because that's how He engages us ..... one on one ✨. It could be your study , closet , an empty room in the house , and even your bedroom 🙂(Just like me ✨). All that matters is that, that area is sacred ..... just for you alone with God.  If you're in such a place, you'd do everything to ensure it stays sacred!...... you'll maintain the quietness ...

INTRODUCTION If someone walks up to you and asks "who are you" , what would be your response? WHO AM I IN CHRIST? Who you are in Christ is who you already are and not who you will eventually become. You  become that person the moment you give your life to Christ. Even though you may not  experience the reality in your life as you should, nothing can change it, unless you consciously  reject Christ. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift,  and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the  powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they  crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. [ Hebrews 6:4-6 NKJV]. Let's read this with a different translation...... For [it is impossible to restore to repentance] those who have once been enlightened  [spiritually] and who have tasted and consciously...

  Anchor Scripture: Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and  to heal every disease and sickness. [ Matthew 10:1 NIV]. Unbelievers call it "magic" but we the believers call it "miracle". Do you know that not just pastors can lay hands on you and heal you? 😱 I'm bringing this good news to you this morning… any individual who has been baptized with  the Holy Ghost has healing hands!  HEALING can be defined as the direct interaction between one individual (the healer) and a  second (sick) individual with the intention of bringing about an improvement in the illness.  HEALING occurs through the integrating forces that restore, transform, sustain and nurture the  whole person (body, mind, spirit) at each phase and in every dimension of life, and within  relationships of the person to the creation, to other people, and to God. This definition is giving me amplified version vibe! I've heard so m...

Anchor Scripture:   However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not  speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to  come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. [ John 16:13-14 NKJ] The truth is God speaks to everyone, but it all depends on your ability to be sensitive to hear Him speak. God speaks to us through: 1. His word 2. His Spirit 3. People 4. Dreams 5. Past experiences 6. Nature 7. Books 8. Things we enjoy doing etc. ~HIS WORD~ Generally, God speaks to us through his Word. That is why studying the Bible is very necessary. When we read our Bible, we find out new things no doubt, also, we use those things  we learn from the Bible to make our lives better. The Bible teaches us precept by precept because truly it's an  instructional book  & our manual as well! It tells us what/what not to do. By your words I can...

  Introduction The human spirit was designed to function best under the the atmosphere  of God's presence but when man fell, his spirit was disconnected from the life and presence of God … The result of this was SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you accept Christ into your life, your spirit was recreated with the life of God  & restored to  it. This new spirit needs to be sustained by CONSTANT FELLOWSHIP with God and by CONTINOUSLY FEEDING on the Word.  With this, it is safe to conclude that we do not only commune with God in our daily devotion but His present is deposited in our hearts so that we are strengthened and edified to function as God wants us to i.e His original plan for mankind. What then is CHRISTIAN DEVOTION? CHRISTIAN DEVOTION is an art of bringing out time to have personal fellowship with God. Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was praying there. [ Mark 1:35 AMP] Even...
