Feast of the seal of life - Evang. Peter Kolajo

Joy is largely composed of gratitude, gratitude for the wonderful things God has done for us and His exceedingly great and precious promises for our future. Joy is the strong foundation that supports a variety of healthy emotions including hapiness. Gratitude produces joy and our gratitude should be for other people's blessings as well as ours.

The world has a woeful shortage of true joy and a surplus of fear, worry, discouragement and depression.

Even the pursuit of happiness and obsessive pleasure seeking does not bring deep and lasting joy. Happiness is an emotion and God never intends for people to be in that transient, emotional state. Happiness is a glad feeling that depends on a good occurrence, circumstance or situation. True joy comes from filling the existing spiritual void with an intimate relationship with Jesus.

God wishes you to experience happy times but His greatest desire is that you have unconditional joy.  The long term evidence of Joy is general gratitude, contentment, optimism, a sense of freedom and other positive attitudes.

Joy comes much more from giving and serving than from receiving. To grow in joy, we must resist self centeredness,

self desires, focus on loving others and especially on loving God.

Apostle Paul spoke of the joy of the Holy Spirit. God through His spirit shares and communicates his Joy. When Paul listed the fruits of the spirit, joy is second to love. If we are filled with godly love, joy is unlimited.  Those who feel the worst about their sins feel the greatest joy about their forgiveness and God's amazing grace. God's joy continues to flow through his people even during their challenges because of their rock-solid-hope in Christ. They have the conviction that all suffering is limited to this life and they rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

How can we be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit? Our unique joy begins once Christ is allowed to live in us. Submission to Jesus activates the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction. God's spirit is the tree of life, producing life-giving fruit which includes great joy.

Endeavor today to add to your life, humility, forgiveness, faith, hope, patience and love. Abhor resentment, anger, fear, worry, materialism, greed, jealousy, murmuring and pride. Jesus is the true Joy, give Him a chance today.

Shalom.

A THRONE ESTERBLISHED FOREVER..... (II Samuel 7:13)

 Our God is a covenant keeper. Whatever promise He makes will be fulfilled. Men are always the betrayers of their own side of any deal with God. It is always a privilege for us when God commits Him self to us in any form. For instance the promise he made to David to establish his throne forever was a privilege .Certainly, David was not the best men on earth then, he had a lot of shortcomings which could have made God not to commit himself to him but he did not consider those shortcoming. David was simply his choice Why? Because a heart that is committed to God enjoys God's priviledges!! After the covenant was established, David sinned and was chastised by God several occasions because he was God's child. Unknown to David, the promise was not for him and his children alone, God was already preparing Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, through the lineage of David.

However Brethren, God's choice and priviledge over your life should NEVER be taken for granted.. God's ultimate goal is to establish you forever. The desire of  God is for you to enjoy what David enjoyed and even much more through Jesus Christ. Wherever God has placed you in your home,ministry, politics, the society and the nation at large, God is expecting you to keep your side of the deal by living RIGHTEOUSLY, TRUTHFULLY, STEADFAST and OBEDIENT to Him so your light would shine and bring others to serve the Living God through you. Decide as from today to stay on the Lord's side and it shall be well with you!!!

THE FAULTY FOUNDATION (Psalms 11:3)

 The defective foundation of human being had been from the time of our progenitors(Adam and Eve). A steadfast relationship was what God established with Adam and Eve as evident in the everyday evening visits He usually had with them until they ate the forbidden fruit and stopped visiting before He chased them out of the Garden of Eden. This marked the beginning of God's wrath on all human race.

By the time Adam and Eve started raising their family, they had laid the foundation of curse because their first fruit was born on a foundation of anger of God .Hence, Cain killed Abel and incurred God's wrath. Ever since then, the devil became crowned as the prince of this world and he keeps controlling the heart of a woman the way he desire luring all into the danger of hell via sin.

The good news is that someone came, born of a woman but not an earthly Father, He lived a faultless life, died for the sin of all, resurrected and reconciled every human being back with God through his blood!! The devil lost every battle against Christ Jesus over 2,000 years ago and is still at loss till today and forever!! The mighty man of Calvary; JESUS CHRIST beckons on you today. Accept him and He will sure repair your faulty foundation through His blood and holy ghost fire.

Jesus Christ: The way, the truth and the life - Evang. Peter Kolajo

 Christ took the opportunity to discourse about His destination after completing His mission on earth and the compass guiding all to it. More fully to instruct his disciples concerning Himself, he said " I am the way"..... but Christ is not merely the way, He lived an exemplary life as a standard for His disciples and not as a prophet, showing them the way of salvation via His obedience and sacrifice which is unprecedented. He is the way to every of His Father's opportunity and which is entirely in tandem with the perfection of God, He is the way to all the blessings of the covenant of grace by faith and He is the way to heaven.

TRUTH 

Christ is not only true, but is The Truth itself.  This may relate to His person and character. He is the true God and eternal life as He taught the ways of God in truth as a Priest, Advocate, King and as Ruler of all. As a King, just and true are all his ways and administrations. He is the sum and substance of all the truths of the gospel, they are all full of Him and centered around Him. He is the fulfillment of all prophecies of the old testament and they have all their accomplishment only in Him.

THE LIFE

Christ is the author and given of life, both spiritual and physical. Anyone who believes in Jesus not only has a relationship with God but also receives eternal life. Eternal life is activated the moment you believe in Jesus Christ and lasts forever. Death of the carnal body isn't a determinant as the soul lives on in heaven where it would be until the day it receives a brand new immortal body just like Jesus. As part of God's family, God's spirit comes to live inside of you, gives to you the joyful life of Jesus, enables you to live a life that pleases God as your Father. He further changes the way you think and feel as you become more like Jesus. Jesus' joy emits from inside of you so much so that everyone will see it radiate. Jesus has given us His life so that we are completely loved and accepted by God His Father.

Accept Him today, confess Him as saviour and Lord and enjoy the dividends of John 14:6.

Shalom!!

WHAT HOLD YOUR TOMORROW?

EVANG. PETER KOLAJO @ OSBC TV

LET THERE BE LIGHT - Evang.Peter Kolajo (OMO JESU)

 God was motivated by His love to bring light into the original scene of creation. The creation experienced a pivotal time of change as God firstly created light via a decree and it was established. He further created a world that would be the object of His love; Mankind.

The hectic and entropic nature of life has made people water-down their concern about their eternal welfare. With this in view, there is the need for believers to keep beaming the light of Christ Jesus into this dark world with the help of the Holy Spirit. Spiritual light was and still is the fundamental element in man's relationship with God.

Spiritual light was placed in mankind from creation to give purpose and meaning to life. As sin extinguishes spiritual lights via disobedience, pride, love of money, deceit, corruption and other vices, all things tend physically towards chaos and disruption while lives are plunged into spiritual darkness.

God physically formed man from the dust and spiritually breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. Man was created in light but fell into sin and darkness after the creation. 

The darkness in this generation is so deep so much that it has belittled the hope of many in God's power by focusing on idols, money, position and mere humans...but it doesn't end there!!

There is hope through Christ Jesus for correction of past errors, settling of the present issues and resetting the future all for the establishment of His kingdom for the beloved. The world obviously is in need of light, therefore we pray to the One who created the world and decree into all spheres of life that.... "LET THERE BE LIGHT in Jesus name".

The arrival of God's judgment...the upturn of world peace" - Evang. Peter Kolajo

 

"The arrival of God's judgment...the upturn of world peace" - Evang. Peter Kolajo 

The kingdom of God also called the kingdom of heaven is biphasic. It exists both in the spiritual realm over which God reigns as King and physically on earth. It's physical structure starts first in the lives of individuals, families, societies and extends to willing individuals in government.

The coming of God's Kingdom where Christ Jesus would reign supreme as the Prince of Peace has long been prophesied by Prophet Daniel in Daniel 7:1-14 which gave us an insight about the kingdom of God and now as the time for it's fulfilment. As the Kingdom expression is biphasic, so is the fulfilment biphasic. Jesus Christ taught us to seek out His Father's Kingdom first and righteousness thereby opening up the route to receiving good and perfect gifts like righteousness, truthfulness and others from God, His father.

 

Heartbreaking is it to note that ephemeral materials is the focus of a large proportion of today's believers. But since God has sent several other messengers to pre-warn everyone of the dangers entrenched in disobedience and negligence of His statutes which would lead to damnation and death (physical and spiritual), now is the time for God's visitation to the earth which has commenced to rescue the beloved from all forms of affliction and imminent judgment is metted out on disobedient individuals, erring families, evil societies and wicked governments.

 

Despite all of this, the invitation to naturalization from darkness to light is still open to all through submission to Jesus Christ because anyone under his Lordship is under His control with bonuses of righteousness,peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The next is the call of  believers to become living witnesses of Jesus, to tell others about Him and allegiance to His will for our lives.

Pray for God's kingdom as a Christian and watch your life become fruitful and a magnet to bring others to Christ, our Saviour!! 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS A MUST FOR YOU...Shalom!!

 

SWEETNESS OF FAITH.......

 How many people call by Christians name are actually enjoying the SWEETNESS OF FAITH? Working of miracles or marathon fast is not sweetness of faith. What many are experiencing today is the bitterness of faith. What many desire is for fishes to enter into their net first. Matt 4:19-20.

If your reason for believing or for being in faith is to acquire wealth or worldly pleasure it is simply bitterness of faith i.e it is bitterness of faith to believe in Jesus Christ just because you want to be rech or achieve certain wordly gaols. Children are not even the sweetness of faith they are gift of faith. Then, what is the sweetness of faith?

Salvation is the sweetness of faith. It is glorious and the best you can get for believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Your fasting and prayers, capping and everything you do without been saved, is yet to be meaningful to God, unless you embrace salvation. God has assigned the greatest position in life to the children of salvation. For those that have access to the sweetness of faith, monthly medical check-up is unnecessary. Fear of death is not their portion as death is not a threat to them. What should be your priority is the salvation of your soul. Proverb 8:17, 8:36.

Don't because of money; child bearing, position e.t.c seek God. If you have money, but don't have Jesus, what will you do with the money? Is it not waging war against Jesus? Your living without Jesus, without salvation is vanity.

The first sweetness that Christ give is salvation. To draw you nearer, he may give you bread, immediately he grab you, salvation is next before he grant you riches and wealth in-deed.

The greatest joy in Christianity is salvation.It is better to pay the price of salvation. that which God is expecting of you, is for you to be save.If you kill your enemy with prayer and you are not save, yours is worse. Going to church activities without you been save, you are a failure. Matt 13:14.

If Christ visit your life and didn't find salvation, ah!! I pray you are not a waste product. Matt 11:13-14, 20.

What is certainis your departure from this world one day, to go and face that which you hold dear to your heart that does not allow you to be saved.

Strive to hae salvation and then leave the rest to God. He will perfect your salvation and life.

THE OTHER WAY........

The Isrealites waited for moses to return from mount Sinai but Moses seemed to had gone for ages. so restless and impatient they became and told Aaron to make for them a god that will take them to the promised land. unfortunately and eventually, Aaron (the interpreter of moses chosen to stand in whenever moses was not not around) was highly pressured that he gave  into their request. the instantly and expectedly brought God's anger upon the people until moses interceded on their behalf. The intercession of moses came alone with dire consequences of death upon about 3,000 men(Exodus 32).

Today, many Christians are also like these stubborn and inconsistent Israelite. whenever they wait on God and trust Him for a need to be met in their lives,they always want to help God by going THE OTHER WAY!! Thus, they devise other means to have there needs met without any slightest delay, forgetting that delay is not denial. Also, they forget that God's timing is different from ours as well as the motive behind the need / request to him since God knows the end from the beginning!! I see while some christian leader at the expense of God's will are Aaron who not give into pressure from their followers, but they lead their followers to the OTHER WAY...... the devil!! The devil entices them with wealth, fame, honour, women, fake miracles and signs and destroys their soul in exchange.    Many false ministers of God focus on speaking about matters of this world only as all they tell people is how to make life more comfortable on earth thereby neglecting the reality of life after death and the importance of salvation. They are so deficient in grace that they don't know about God and they also struggle with life issues. Thus, they never submit to God instructions and never learn from Him. this is why God will never commit any serious responsibility into the hand of such leaders because "WOE UNTO ANY MINISTER THAT MISLEADS THE SHEEP".

Friend, are you considering turning away from God to look for alternatives due to delay. Have you yielded to human suggestions and advice in the course of doing God's work by neglecting God's command. it is never too late, repent today, ask the lord to forgive  you , turn back to Jesus, retrace your step from the way and com back to the ONLY WAY!! Jesus Christ is waiting for you. shalom.
