JESUS! WAKE UP !!! (PART 5)

Image
Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to the month of October! Huraay!!! Praise God!  We discussed in our previous post on why Jesus "risked" His life to go to the place where even the people who had been living there for years never dared to go. Today we shall be digging deeper into the Bible text below.  Bible Text : When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. Matthew 8:28 NIV https://matthew.bible/matthew-8-28 From our Bible text, we can deduce that two men were possessed by terrible demons and had terrorized the entire city for a very long time that it became an unwritten rule that no body could go beyond the area where these two demon possessed men lived. There are different types of demons operating in every city, country. The demons in charge of a particular place may differ in terms of operations from another demon in another city. For example,...

Jesus! Wake Up!!! ( Part 4)

Hello TaiKeh fams!!  Welcome to part 4 of JESUS! WAKE UP Series!!!  We learnt in part three that when the Word is asleep, storms will continue to rage but until you wake the Word up in your life, the storms will not stop.  Also, you must have faith when declaring the Word against the storms that come at you.  Today we'll be discussing another reason why Jesus still went into the boat without thinking twice, even when He knew a storm would come arise.  Bible Text : They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery. The men had terrorized the region for so long that no one considered it safe to walk down that stretch of road anymore. Seeing Jesus, the madmen screamed out, “What business do you have giving us a hard time? You’re the Son of God! You weren’t supposed to show up here yet!” Off in the distance a herd of pigs was browsing and rooting. The evil spirits begged Jesus, “If you kick us out o...

JESUS! WAKE UP!!! Series (Part 3)

Hello TaiKeh Fams!  Welcome to part 3 of Jesus! WAKE UP!!!  We discussed in part two of Jesus! Wake Up series!!! on why storms do arise, we learnt that being a christian doesn't exclude storms from coming your way, storms of life would surely arise but, here's the fun fact - Jesus will be with you before, during and after that storm!  Here's a great place to shout Hallelujah!  Today we shall be discussing another reason storms arise,  BIBLE TEXT : Matthew 8:23‭-‬27 And after He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly, behold, there arose a violent storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered up by the waves; but He was sleeping. And they went and awakened Him, saying, Lord, rescue and preserve us! We are perishing!  And He said to them, Why are you timid and afraid, O you of little faith? Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness). And the men were stunned ...

JESUS! WAKE UP!!! Series (Part 2)

Hello TaiKeh fams!  Welcome to part 2 of "Jesus! Wake up!!"  Without further ado, let's dive in. Haha When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. Matthew 8:23 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.8.23.AMP Jesus was the first person to enter the boat, and his innocent disciples followed suit.  While studying this verse, we asked ourselves, "How is it that Jesus, the All-knowing God,the Alpha and Omega, the One with all the wisdom, told His disciples to go when He knew a storm would arise?  The book of Mark records that Jesus told them to" go over unto other side"  That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Mark 4:35 NIV https://mark.bible/mark-4-35 Little did they know that a storm would arise even when it was JESUS who told them to go there.  So YES, Jesus knew that there was going to be a storm, yet He told them to go to "the other side".  (By the way Your other side could mean so many th...

Have you ever been so terrified and anxious? Perhaps your kitchen was on fire and the only person that could help you put it out was sleeping in the room next to the kitchen, sound asleep like the baby in the sticker below😁😁 .  Hello TaiKeh fams!   Today's post is titled  "Jesus! Wake up!!!" Bible Text : Then he got in the boat, his disciples with him. The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat—and he was sound asleep! They roused him, pleading, “Master, save us! We’re going down!” Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you such cowards, such faint-hearts?” Then he stood up and told the wind to be silent, the sea to quiet down: “Silence!” The sea became smooth as glass. The men rubbed their eyes, astonished. “What’s going on here? Wind and sea come to heel at his command!” Matthew 8:23‭-‬27 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.8.23-27.MSG The disciples were on their way to another town and then suddenly a storm arose that scare...

Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” John 5:10‭-‬14 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.5.10-14.NIV Jesus had just healed a man who ha...

"  series  Let’s do a quick recap of the main points  in the previous series,  PART 1- RISE PART 2-  TAKE UP YOUR BED PART 3-  WALK Our Bible text is taken from John 5:1-11,  Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem.  Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda , with five alcoves. Hundreds of sick people—blind, crippled, paralyzed—were in these alcoves.  One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, “Do you want to get well?”  The sick man said, “Sir, when the water is stirred, I don’t have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in.”  Jesus said, “Get up, take your bedroll, start walking.” The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off. That d...

The Master Key (Part 4)

Hello TaiKeh Fams!!!  A very big welcome to part 4 of  "The Master Key series!"  We've learnt a lot so far, here is a quick recap; PART 1: Your main focus should always be on what God calls you rather than what people call you PART 2: Determine to draw closer to God PART 3:  You don't need a bunch of keys, all you need is one key - The Master Key Today, we'd be discussing on how to handle your Master Key.  Why do you need to know this?  Truth is, if you do not know how to take care of your Master Key, it will rust and eventually become useless to you.  This is not because God didn't give you the key, but because you didn't know how to handle it rightly.  So here a few things to note when you have your key,  Firstly, you must keep your Master Key closest to you always, you would most likely keep a key in your pocket or on a key holder, so you can have it with you always,right? Why? You cherish whatever is important to you.  Jesus is your ...

The Master Key (Part 3)

Image
Hello TaiKeh Fam!  We continue Master Key series, Part 3!! Yaaay!!  Our bible text for this series is from Matthew 9:20‭-‬22. It reads,  And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.  But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.9.20-22.KJV From the bible text above, we see that Jesus' garment healed a woman who had battled with an illness for up to twelve years.  You know, Jesus was surrounded by a crowd, who would have sought to touch, hug, shake him and the likes, but only one woman had faith enough to receive her healing by touching Him.  Why did everyone not in the crowd receive their healing?  Every door is special, and it is designed to...

The Master Key (Part 2)

Image
Hello TK Fams!  Welcome to part two of our series,   " The Master Key"   Bible Text : "... For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole..." Matthew 9:21 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.9.20-22.KJV Imagine a man about to propose marriage to the love of his life, no matter how eloquent he may be, he would try to memorize his lines before the proposal ; what to say first and what not to say.  Most likely, due to fright, he may forget his lines and have to make up new words right there on the spot.  This woman in the text above may have struggled with the same thing, she may have memorized what to say and what to do when she has an opportunity to meet Jesus.  This woman had an inner conviction that she could not just shake off.  If the woman had shrugged off that conviction in her to go closer and touch Jesus' clothes, would we be talking about her today? - Most likely not.  She was convinced that if she could t...

The Sixth Month (Part 2)

Image
Hello TK Fams!!!  This is the continuation of June Series,  In the first part, we talked about how important it is to be where God wants you to be, by being in the right place at the right time.   TEXT - Luke 1: 26-27 : And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David : and the virgin's name was Mary. Today we'll be discussing on another way to receive God's favour, blessings and good news this month and that is - Be with the person(s) who God wants you to be with : It is important to surround yourself with people that are godly and add value to your life.  There's a saying that says "Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are "  That is, a man's character can be defined by the kind of friends he keeps. (Proverbs 13:20, 1Corinthians 15:33) In our text, Angel Gabriel was given clear instructions to locate a virgi...
