Title: Return home
The home, being a private fortress, is also a sanctuary of good news and blessings. What we bring to our households from the Lord can only be personal and nothing short of a life-changing encounter with Him. God wants us to be the heralds of His mercy and grace to our families, who would celebrate, cherish, and protect that spiritual legacy.
Title: Truth
Truth, when found, cannot be questioned or mocked.
Man has concluded that truth is relative, and so he has abandoned the search for it in favor of the tyranny of the multitude.
When swayed by the popular voice against the truth, we mock and expose ourselves to the cruelty of the same crowd, whose only purpose for existence was the fear of standing alone because they possessed not the truth.
Title: A prophet
The greatest among prophets wanted to becomes less in significance and importance.
The greatest among those born of women had no request to be freed from prison on account of blood relation to the King.
Since we are our spirits, we all have a spiritual purpose in life. It has been determined before birth, and it is for us to identify it, accomplish it veiled in humility, expecting suffering and tribulation along the way, and then depart from this life, not counting the years but the relevance of our service to the
Title: Are you the king of the Jews?
A governor questions the King of kings.
The disparity was not evident during the time of Pilate, but unless we bind ourselves under the mandate of God, we, too, shall persist to probe the authority and power of the Lord Jesus.
A sensitive spirit will not fail to comprehend that, while clothed in humility, the King can pronounce judgment on his subjects, which we are, and not the other way around.
Title: All hail
It was the salutation that spoke the world into existence. It was the utterance that welcomed man into the
It was the greeting that echoed further than the outer limits of the garden, and continues to reverberate in the hearts of those who have risen with the Lord Jesus into newness of life.
Title: Give us today our daily bread
From day to day, we would need the following in order to live a life that is truly life:
1] A Holy God
2] Obedience to the Holy God
3] Expectation on the kingdom
4] Nourishment from food and the Word of God
5] A forgiving heart
6] Cleansing from sin
7] Shepherding by the Good Shepherd
The beasts of the field can do with less.
Title: Choose for yourselves this day
We have got to choose between ourselves and God, because of the danger that we have, by now, become our own idols, and in a very subtle way.
We might argue that “we are serving God,” but in reality we are “serving ourselves” in “serving God”. As a litmus test of the deep intention of our hearts, we might attempt to answer this question: “Are we serving God in order to be blessed, or are we serving the Lord because we already have been blessed?”
Title: Father, forgive them
Volumes have been written about the seven utterances of the Lord Jesus on the cross, but the silence of the Lamb those six fateful hours had been largely ignored.
We know from experience that pain becomes more pronounced when it is endured in silence. But, still, we shall never know the sorrow of the sinless Savior, when he was crushed under the weight of man’s indifference to the price that had to be paid for the redemption of the sinner’s soul.
But how should we know, when, instead of living our days at the foot of the cross, as a witness to our intimacy with the Crucified in his agony, we opted to get the most out of life, and exchanged the stillness of Calvary for the gaiety of the world?
Title: Eternal life
Would you have invested in this life had you known it would be temporary?
There is another life, one that is far better that our longest term on earth. It had its foundation at the cross on the hill of Calvary, and it is everlasting, but we have left the initial investment on the cross to remain stagnant, and instead built upon the groundwork and the demands of the world, which, at best, is hollow and fleeting.
Therefore let us be wise in this: that the hope of blessedness necessitates the transformation of our lives into a pilgrimage in preparation for an eternity with God.
