Equal Honour
Memory verse: - John5: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
Bible Reading: - John 5: 19 – 47
Message
As a bible student, you know and believe that there are three personalities in the God head working harmoniously together as one. We have God the father [Jehovah], God the son [our Lord Jesus Christ], and the third person is Holy Spirit [ our guide and teacher] by which we are sealed until the last day.
Some count it as disregard to God and even blasphemy equating Christ with God; but Jesus Christ the beloved son of God proclaimed in today’s text that we must give him the honour as we honour God the father. Anyone who refuses to honour Jesus like he honour God is under the judgement of God.
Some do not give honour due unto our Lord to him calling him an ordinary messenger of God; servant of God; but Jesus is more than the prophets; he is more than the messengers of God and had been with the father even before the world begins; he was there during the time of creation and through him were all things made. He said in the book of revelation 1:8 that I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
  It is not out of place to honour Jesus just as we honour God the father because HE[CHRIST] said I and my father are one. Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes all hated Christ and determined to kill him because they thought it was abomination for Christ to make himself equal with God despite seeing the marvelous miracles far beyond human capability performed by Christ in their midst right before them.
As for you today how did you see Christ? Who is he to you? An ordinary messenger or a mere prophet or God the son or a beloved son of God?
If you honour Christ and allow him to dwell in you as the reigning king, God will honour you and both of them will make their place of abode with you.
Let Christ be honoured in the way you live your life in your community; let them see your good works and glorify your heavenly father through Chris our Lord. honour him; kiss the son; adore him and let him reign in you; let others see him through you.
Confession of the Day
Jesus is my Lord and saviour who was, is and will be; he the almighty, Alpha and Omega; my coming King; my sanctifier; my redeemer and the chief shepherd of my soul.
Prayer Point
Lord I honourably bow my knees to you; take me by hand and lead me in the path of righteousness; let your praise be in my mouth forever.

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...
