 Christ Receives the Cast Out
Memory verse: - Jn 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
Bible Reading: - John 9: 20 – 41
Message
In our text today, we have four different characters: the jealous and wicked Pharisees and Sadducees; fearful parents of the blind man; the convinced, converted and bold blind man that was healed and the righteous Jesus our Lord – the giver of life, joy and peace. He gave the blind man hope by opening his eyes; he gave him a new life and new beginning; he took him from total darkness into marvelous light of God; he gave him joy and happiness.
But the Pharisees and Sadducees refused to rejoice with the man delivered because of jealousy and hatred they have developed for Jesus, hence they cast man out from the synagogue hiding under the pretence that Christ did it on the Sabbath day.
You need to pray and resist sin of hatred and jealousy to the blood, it should not be found in the life of heaven bound believers for he that hates his brother without a cause is a murderer; and no murderer can enter into heaven the resting place of the righteous and the place of abode of our holy God.
Also, you must realise you need to re examine your salvation experience if you still fear men; for the fear of men bringeth a snare; and he that is fearful is not perfect in love towards God and his fellow men. This is why the scriptures says we have not received the spirit of fear to again begin to fear, but we have been given the spirit of power, of love and of sound mind.
2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
If yield to the Lord Jesus like the blind man surrendered and yielded to him calling him Lord, you will receive the spirit of sound mind and of boldness; you will not be afraid of what you will lose if men of the world decide to separate you from their company of worldly assembly; you will boldly declare Christ and stand for him in the open and in secret.
If men cast you out, God will receive you into his kingdom as he practically showed us today in our text. Ps 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
He heard that the man was cast out; he sought for him, found him and accepted him into his marvelous kingdom. Christ is alive and still receives penitent and converted sinners into his kingdom today. Make haste, run fast unto the Lord now for cleansing, purging and renewal, tomorrow may be too late.
Confession of the Day
 When my father and mother forsake me, I will run to my saviour who is more than enough to cater for me.
Prayer Points
Lord, help me to stand for you in season and out of season in love, with power and in sound mind without fear all the days of my life.

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...
