SERVICE

Image
Dear Believer, It's my prayer for you that the Lord will lift you and the rewards of diligent service are yours. Amen! ❤️ When I was much younger, I never liked helping people do stuff, but I didn't mind if they helped me.  Then, I'd imagine being in front of dignitaries, adorned as the most hard working. What a fantasy! 🥴 This brings me to talking about something unpopular among believers: service . Many of us don't even want to hear the words "servant", "service" and other derivatives. We keep claiming sonship and its related scripture. Everyone loves red carpet moments and people running after them seeking to take pictures or even desiring autographs on their items.  You certainly love these things too and hope that one day, God will take you to that level where you're so much celebrated. He will, because His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). However, there's a need to correct this misconception about salvation: "Goodies will...

From the winemaking process , you know there's a need for you to have a strong foundation in Christ before going to share the new wine (evangelize).  It's necessary to share the new wine (Jesus) because a river of new wine is in you and it must flow John 7:38. It's quite necessary that you're capable of producing new wine before you share it. You don't want to end up like Flora of Abattoir. After sharing the new wine, there's a need for you to go back to the Vine. "Why? Is this needful?" , someone is probably thinking.  Jesus said in John 15, "Without me, you can't do anything."  You can't do anything (bear fruits/produce wine) when you're detached from the vine. A detachment from the vine will soon turn your river to a stinking one. Everything you do will not be backed up with power and when men taste your wine, they'll drink sour grapes. As long as the branch(you) is attached to the vine, it keeps maturing to produce wine ...

 Lord, thank you for the privilege of sonship and daughtership.  Thank you for the privilege to share your Word to this believer who is reading. Bless us and expound your Word in our hearts today. Amen. ❤️ Last week, we talked about how you're a branch of the vine and how your responsibility is to produce fruits and serve men the new wine. I think there's a need to share how the wine is made because many believers find it difficult to share (Jesus) the new wine with people even after taking a portion of it (after receiving salvation). I did a short study on the winemaking process and made an interesting discovery that will bless you. This is quite an interesting study. Wine goes through these 5 processes: harvesting, crushing and pressing, fermenting, clarifying, aging and bottling. Then, it is available in stores for purchase.  From the stage of drinking the new wine at salvation to being able to serve the new wine, you must go through these processes, too. When you newl...

 Lord Jesus, thank you for your word I'm about to read today.  I receive boldness to share the wine you have given me.  May I not be static river in Jesus name.  Amen. Dear Believer, Last week, I asked a question about why you think the wedding host didn't buy wine when it had finished and they had to seek Jesus. A friend sent me a video about the history of the Galilean wedding and I found the answer in there. Once the wedding feast starts according to the Galilean culture, no one goes out until the ceremony is over. This is to lock out uninvited people and keep record of those who're in.  This explains why the welfare team had to panic when they ran out of wine. Thank God for Mary, who had Jesus in the building.  The video is a great resource I think you should listen to know more about Galilean weddings. Here you go. The wine running out in the Galilean wedding also signifies something very important.  I want to believe that everyone who is reading ...
