.The Christian walk is characterized by:

1. Work of faith

2. Labour of love and

3. Patience of hope.

Though in the moment may feel like torture, are actually working in us a good work.

.The Gospel must lead you to a place of Joy! That’s the reason it is called ‘Good News'. If you are not excited, it is either you’ve not heard it or you don’t understand it. There is an excitement that comes from knowing God and it surpasses any other joy that you can ever know.

Union with Christ is a phrase used to summarize several different relationships between believers and Christ, through which Christians receive every benefit of salvation.

It’s a positional statement meaning, the moment you believe the gospel you are immersed IN CHRIST so all the things Jesus did were written on our account as though we did it also.

What happens to a man when he dies, where does he go?

There have been brilliant minds in different fields and none of them, even with all the knowledge they have, can answer this most basic question. But the answer is simple, If Christ is raised from the dead the question of what happens after death is answered forever. God raising Jesus from the dead, he has given all men assurance that there is life after death.

Let opportune moments meet you prepared. That way we can sustain graces.

When grace brings you somewhere, continue to pray and edify yourself so you don’t live a life of contradiction.

Prepare so that when the spotlight hits you, it would not be your undoing but rather you would be ready for it.

Build competence!!

As you go into the new year, 

Be better at bible study, and read books.

If God is going to trust you with souls, let’s see you successful in other things. 

See things through. 

God did not give Moses the Rod. The day God spoke to him, it stopped being ordinary. God wasn’t only giving Moses signs, he was teaching him control. The proof that God sent you to do something is that you can do it over and over again. A donkey spoke in the bible but cannot do it again. But you healing the sick, God wants you to learn how to do it repeatedly.

Everything that has been, continues to be (that is naturally speaking).

The sun will continue to rise east and set in the west, and the cycle of water would continue to start in the clouds, then to rain and ultimately end back in the clouds. The same thing happens with the new year. In the same way the day changed from yesterday into today, it will change from the 31st of December to the 1st of January. 

Rain would continue to fall until Elijah halts it, and the water would continue to fill the landscape of the sea until Moses splits it. Water would continue to be liquid until Jesus renders it solid enough to walk on Nature would occur as it always has until believers do something about it. Thus, the new year would only be new when you intervene and do something new.

The destiny of the man in Christ is not subject to the natural occurrences of the world. Unlike the rest of the world we are not bound by nature, the very foundation of our faith defies nature itself. Nature can not explain how a virgin would bare a son, nature can not explain how this same son would die, be buried for 3 full days and in a matter of moments would rise from the dead as if never died at all never to die again.

What did Solomon ask for?

“understanding heart to judge thy people”

Did he ask for wisdom?

Is he the wisest man and what wisdom does he have to offer?
