THE SUNDAY WORSHIP QUESTION2

By -



CHRIST REACTION TO IT “And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath”. Luke 6:5.
Christ was accused of not keeping the Sabbath and He paid dearly for it for its one of the reasons the plot for His death was instigated (John 9:16, Mark 3:3-6) because he healed, plugged fruit, doing the very things He does on other days on the Sabbath (if you think Christ did something special on Saturday that He never did on other days, am waiting to hear it).
Few people says Christ worshiped on Sabbath, yes He did because He was operating on the old covenant but Glory to God, He also fellow-shipped with the disciples on the first and second time they fellowshipped on a Sunday (See John 20:19, 26).
What does it mean to be ‘lord of sabbath’ as Christ said. He said the ‘son of man’ (son of man is us, the created; Son of God is the creator), to be Lord of Sabbath means the determiner of Sabbath (like saying, Sabbath is what day you say it is), God hallowed Saturday and used it to seal His covenant with the Jewish Christians (the country Israel operates on the different covenant than that of the rest of the Christian in the world, this covenant was sealed with the Saturday Sabbath(Ex. 31:17)), this shouldn’t tie the rest of the Christians to Saturday, that’s why Christ has to mention to us that we are the lord of Sabbath i.e. Sabbath is what day we call it to be.
Those that called Saturday Holy days have called other days unholy and God rebuked peter for similar act (acts. 10:15).
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Tim. 4:4-5. If you say Saturday is the only day that belongs to the Lord, who owns or created the other days. (Ps. 118:24) We should receive each day with thanksgiving and sanctify it for our use. If I want to be worshiping on Sundays or other days, then I should sanctify such day and that day becomes my Sabbath. Everyday created by God is good enough to worship God.
The only special thing about Saturday, and every 7 years and every 49 years is that God used these days as a covenant to the Jewish nation (ex. 31:13) (Saturday is not the only Sabbath, the seventh year, and the 7*7 years are all Sabbaths to be counted from the day of the Jewish deliverance from bondage).
Don’t limit yourself to Saturday worship when God has given us all days for worship.
God bless you.

EVIL

By -
WHEN GOD ALLOWS EVIL ON THE RIGHTEOUS When Christ the righteous was allowed to be crucified in the midst of the guilty, He resurrected in Glory and the enemy was defeated and put to shame. God doesn’t allow evil come on the righteous except He has planned to use the devices of the evil against the righteous to put the evil planner to shame. When the wicked is prospering in his evil against the righteous, it’s because God wants to by the evil of the evil doer puts him to shame. If you have questions over the prosperity of wickedness over your life though you believe in God, think on why God allowed the devil succeeded in killing Christ and what happened afterwards, Christ resurrected in greater glory and the devil was forever defeated before Christ. As it was for Christ so it would be for you, that enemy that is prospering over your life now though you believe in God, will be brought low via his wickedness and you’ll resurrect to greater glory and restoration Pr 11:5 ¶ The

THE STRUGGLE FOR WHOM TO BELIEVE

By -
After a program back in Nigeria early last year, a woman met me by the car and wants me pray for her conception, since she had a first son, having another has been difficult. As I was about to pray for her, I told her she is now pregnant by the word of God (Ex 23:26). After few days, she called to say, she went for medical test and the report isn’t so, and I replied, God is far above medical science, she said ‘amen’. She went for test again after few more days and the result was negative and she called and told me its negative, I laughed and said, Doc’s of these days are so blind, they see things late. She was surprised at my reply. She went for the third test after few more days, and result was still negative but this time, she told herself, I am pregnant because God has said so and by that she rejected the doctor’s report of negativity and thus the fourth test announced itself; an experienced mother asked her, are you pregnant? Instead of saying no according to the doc,

ORDAINED TO BE FRUITFUL

By -
Someone said because of the suffering he was passing through that God has ordained it therefore he is going to accept the financial barrenness as part of God’s plan for him. (I will therefore present my discussion with him like a drama) Me: (I looked at him and asked him) how do you know this barrenness is God’s plan for you? He:   If it’s not God’s plan, why hasn’t God done anything about my situation? Me: How does God change or create a situation isn’t it by His word as in creation? He: Yes Me: Has He spoken that you’ll be barren in life through His word to you? He: Not actually, but that’s what am experiencing, that’s how I feel right now Me: If your experience and feeling isn’t in accordance to God’s word, then your feeling and experience is devilish Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8 God is so happy when you are fruitful in life; when you give birth to kids, it excites God, when you get results in
