TOPIC: LIFE WITHOUT CHRIST IS FULL OF SORROWS
TEXT: Job 14:1 ¶ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
INTRODUCTION: Because of the fall of man in Eden and the subsequent usurping of the ruler ship of this world by the devil, the days of man are now cut short (made few) instead of it been eternal, life and thought of man is the thought of evil continually instead of righteous thoughts and the life of man is filled with many troubles instead of it been a life of everlasting enjoyment. This is the reason Christ came, to restore the life man lost in Eden and gives Him an even better one than the lost one.
QUESTIONS/DISCUSSIONS
1.    Man’s day was made few but Christ came to restore it by given him eternal life. (see John 11:25-26, John 3:16 and 1Jn 1:1-2) whoever believes in Christ, His days are no longer few, he doesn’t die, he lives an everlasting life. Glory!
2.    Man’s days were filled with trouble which can be categorized into 3 parts: (a) sicknesses and diseases: The entire diseases that came with the fall of man; hard labor in giving bath, painful menstruation, menopause and other various infirmities are healed in Christ Jesus (Isaiah 53:5 and Matt. 8:17). In Christ we shouldn’t be having any of those sicknesses or infirmities because we are the Healed of the Lord. Hallelujah      
(b) Sorrows and griefs: every curse that brings sorrows, demonic afflictions, disappointments, barrenness, hardship etc. that came to man due to sin were bore by Christ Jesus (Isaiah 53:4)
© He took our sins: the iniquity of Adam gave us the nature of sin, thus when the urge of sin besets us, we’ll have no power to resists it but Christ delivered us from the power and yoke of sin and the bully of the flesh. (1Pet. 2:24, Heb. 9:28 and Mat. 1:21) in Christ Jesus, sin has no power to hold us in captivity again. Amen!


CONCLUSION: Jesus Christ came and destroyed all the works of darkness which are; sin, sorrows and griefs, sicknesses and diseases, demonic afflicts and hardness and bareness (1Jo 3:8). We shouldn’t allow any of these into our lives as children of God, lets arise and rebuke every works of darkness out of our lives in Jesus name. God bless you

EVIL

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
