Make Them Behold Him
Memory Verse: - Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Bible Reading: -  John 1: 1 – 51
Message
John the Baptist said He [JESUS] must increase and that he must decrease and this was manifested in his action when he pointed Jesus Christ to his followers that behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. This declaration made two of his disciples to follow Jesus Christ; one of the two that followed Jesus was Andrew, Simeon Peter’s brother. He looked for his brother and brought him to Jesus. Peter later became the pillar of the early church to whom Jesus committed the spiritual welfare of the other disciples when he resurrected before ascending to heaven.
You never can tell how mighty that person you lead to Christ shall be in the Kingdom. That is the reason why you should do all things possible to point them to Christ alone like John the Baptist. Do not lead them to church without Christ who can redeem them, neither should you preach the founder of the church who is an instrument in the hand of God.
John the Baptist was called even from the womb for the purpose of pointing men to Christ and you [a believer] were called from the miry clay of sin and from the dirty world to do likewise – to call out your friend, colleagues, brother, sister, parent and relations from the world of vanity to Christ Jesus.
Obedience to this great commission by some people brought into the kingdom of God great men of God like Charles G. Finney, Kenneth Hagin, Smith Wigglesworth, Kumuyi, Joseph Ayo Babalola, Enoch Adeboye, Olukoya, to mention but a few. In like manner your simple obedience can bring that great person who God can use to deliver many from the oppression of the devil.
Arise and diligently make the proclamation, point them to Jesus and make them behold him alone. The baton is in your hand now, do not spoil the race and let not the investment of heaven and suffering of Christ to save you be in vain. Open your mouth like John the Baptist and point them to Jesus the saviour of the whole wide world. Let them know he was the only one that died and shed his blood for the remission of their sins, no other person or prophet did, he was raised from the death on the third day for our justification, no other prophet did, he was conceived without virgin Mary coming into contact with any man, no other prophet was born that way. He is a Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the whole world.
Jesus himself called his disciples for that purpose; he said follow me and I will make you a fisher of men [Matt 4:19]. He also said in Mark 13:37 that “……what I say unto you I say unto all……” He said go into the world and preach the gospel unto the whole nation. Are born again? Have you given your life to Christ the Lord and master of the saints? Then go and share this experience with others in the mire of sins of adultery, fornication, idolatry, strife, hatred etc. pointing them to Christ the saviour of the world. God will help you to follow his banner and serve him everywhere you go in Jesus name.
Confession of the Day
I will make them behold him for their salvation as much as it lieth in me.
Prayer Points
God help me and the saints still alive to make Him known to the people in our little corner so that they can behold him for their salvation.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED 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 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
