• In a word, the denominational system has fragmented the one body of Christ by religious partisanship. It has alienated the family of God into separate tribes. It has disintegrated the fabric of our spiritual brotherhood and sisterhood into an endless morass of religious parties. It has fractured the fellowship of God’s people. It has slashed the body of Christ into pieces. It has carved the church into splintered fragments. It has spawned thousands of warring clans out of the one family of Christ. (Shockingly, there are more than thirty-three thousand Christian denominations on the planet today.) In a word, the contemporary denominational morass has polluted the Christian landscape.

  • Having an Encounter with God through His Son Jesus Christ.
    By: Evangelist Dominic Ofori-Mensah
    Kindly Read and Share.

    As a Christian there's this one and special encounter you get with Christ Jesus the day and moment you make your mind to take up your cross to follow him (personal consecration), I term this the Salvational Encounter/encountering salvation. (Moses, Abraham, Saul etc). Salvational Encounter I define as the first taste of divine and mortal encounter by man with a deity. As believers/Christians, it is our aim and desire to encounter Christ Jesus day to day. When God orchestrate His divine plan and purpose over your life to manifest His Will, He meet man half way and when he's mostly desolate in life, wondering and wandering.
    When you have this salvational encounter, your life changes from living life worldly than the Word of God. Moses after encountering God at the burning bush, got a new purpose and a divine shift over his life.
    But with the help of the Holy Spirit, I would like to expound on 2/3 others..

    1. Relationship Encounter: As a believer/Christian, it should be your priority to always yearn to know more of Jesus Christ or have personal intimacy with him. You shouldn't always become a "suckling baby" as a child of God but maturing to certain dimension when God can use you accurately without fear. It is one thing to be saved and another to stick to God. Many Christians do not have a personal relationship with God through Jesus (Word) and by the teachings and leading of His Spirit so they easily fall prey to false teachings and spirituality. Moses never met God again at a burning bush but had to actually meet him face to face on mount Sinai. (Exodus 3:2, Exodus 4-15). Moses had a temperamental issues which was common to the Levite's but after encountering God and having a Personal Relationship with Him, he was used according to how God wanted. To have a personal relationship with God is to obey His Word and the guidance and teachings of His Spirit which will guide you into righteousness for His eternal purpose.

    2. Spiritual/Dimensional Encounter:
    As we become older and matured in Christ, it is expected of us to live above the rulings of this mundane whiles you still have to fit in. In our walk of life as humans and christians, we are to grow naturally either the inner man(Soul) or the outer man (Ego) and with this growth comes battles that needs the intervention of a higher realm. We come across cycles and seasons where most people get to repeat what's ought to be crossed and vice versa. Life is spiritual and have to be lived as such. Saul, after encountering Christ Jesus (salvational encounter and personally having a relationship with him, made him understood certain spiritual dimensional messages which an ordinary man could not understand or fathom.. Salvational encounter comes with fear and trembling as the first encounter but when you develop a relationship with God, He opens you up for more Divine mysteries and spiritual dimensional realms that He knows you will use according to His Will.. It is one thing to Encounter God and another thing to be Encountering God. Moses, Abraham, Moses, etc had a continuous encounter with God where they had to be taking instructions and information even to the moment of death as Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior did. For righteous living and eternity sake, strive to have a personal relationship and spiritual encounter with God in other for Him to position you well for His Will and Plan..
    Amen!

  • A Life That Reveals God Has a Greater Impact Than Lips That Merely Speak About Him!

    The Christian life is not merely about speaking about God; it is also about revealing through our lives that God lives within us.

    It is not only important how beautifully we speak about the name of God. What truly matters is whether people can see God through our conduct, words, decisions, relationships, forgiveness, integrity, and love.

    Jesus said:

    > “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
    (Matthew 5:16)



    Notice this the purpose of our good works is not for people to glorify us, but for them to glorify our Heavenly Father.

    Our lives must become a living testimony.

    If we speak about love, that love must be revealed in the way we forgive even those who hurt us.
    If we speak about faith, it must be revealed by trusting God even when circumstances are against us.
    If we speak about holiness, it must be revealed by living a holy life even when no one is watching.
    If we speak about God's grace, it must be revealed by showing grace even to those who have wronged us.

    Our lives should never contradict the message our lips proclaim.

    Joseph did not spend his time in Egypt merely preaching about God. Yet through his integrity, purity, wisdom, and fear of God, those around him recognized that the hand of God was upon his life.

    Daniel was the same. He did not simply say that he trusted God; even under pressure, he refused to compromise his prayer life. His life became the evidence of his faith.

    The world often sees our lives before it listens to our preaching.

    Therefore, every day we must ask ourselves:

    When someone looks at my life, do they see me or do they see Christ living within me?

    Glorifying God is not something we do only during Sunday worship. It must happen at home, at work, in our relationships, in solitude, in trials, and in times of success everywhere and at all times.

    More powerful than what you say is the way you live; your life is the strongest testimony of your faith.

    Let us proclaim God with our words and glorify Him through our lives.

    Hepsi Sam

  • DBF-001-031 continues with John 2:10. The master of the feast recognizes that something unusual has happened: the best wine has been kept until now. We should keep the focus on Christ’s provision and avoid turning the verse into a promise of material abundance.

    DAILY BREAD FELLOWSHIP

    DBF-001-031

    Today’s Scripture

    John 2:10 (ESV)

    “And said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.’”

    Opening the Scriptures

    The master of the feast had tasted the wine, but he did not know where it had come from.

    He called the bridegroom and expressed his surprise.

    Normally, the better wine was served first. Yet at this wedding, the master believed that the best had been kept until later.

    What he did not know was that the bridegroom had not provided this wine.

    Jesus had.

    The master could recognize the quality of the gift, but he did not recognize its source.

    The servants knew.

    Behind what appeared to be an unexpected provision stood the power and authority of Jesus Christ.

    John is steadily directing our attention away from the wedding itself and toward Jesus.

    Living God’s Word Today

    There is a danger in receiving God’s gifts while forgetting the Giver.

    Every day we receive things we can easily take for granted.

    Food.

    Shelter.

    Family.

    Friendship.

    Strength for another day.

    Opportunities to serve.

    Most importantly, for those who belong to Christ, forgiveness of sin and eternal life.

    Scripture reminds us:

    “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.” — James 1:17

    Yet we must also be careful about what this miracle does not teach.

    Jesus turning water into wine does not promise Christians wealth, comfort, success, or an easy life. The apostles themselves would later suffer greatly for following Christ.

    The greatest gift at Cana was not the wine.

    The greatest gift was Christ Himself.

    That remains true today.

    God may give us much or little in this world. Our circumstances may change. Health can fail. Possessions can disappear. Human relationships can disappoint us.

    But the Christian’s greatest treasure cannot be measured by earthly prosperity.

    We have Christ.

    In Him we have something infinitely greater than temporary comfort: reconciliation with God, forgiveness of sin, and the certain hope of eternal life.

    The master of the feast enjoyed the gift without knowing its source.

    Let us not make the same mistake.

    Recognize God’s goodness.

    Give thanks for His daily provision.

    But never become so occupied with God’s gifts that you forget the God who gives them.

    Treasure Christ above everything He gives.

    Question for Today

    Do you value God’s gifts more than you value God Himself?

    Respond: “Christ is my greatest treasure.”

  • Monday Encouragement — Now Let Us Live What We Believe

    Blessings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

    Yesterday we had the wonderful privilege of gathering with God’s people on the Lord’s Day. We worshiped our sovereign God, heard His precious Word proclaimed, prayed together, and were reminded once again of the saving grace that is ours through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    But now Monday has arrived.

    The worship service has ended, but our worship has not.

    Today we return to our homes, workplaces, ministries, communities, responsibilities, and challenges. And this is where the truth we heard yesterday must become visible in the way we live today.

    It is easy to proclaim our trust in God while surrounded by fellow believers on Sunday. The greater challenge comes on Monday when difficulties return, unexpected problems arise, and the noise of this world begins competing for our attention.

    Yet the God we worshiped yesterday is the same God who walks with us today.

    “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” — Hebrews 13:8

    Whatever this week brings, let us resist the temptation to immediately depend upon our own understanding and strength. Before making decisions, pray. When difficulties arise, pray. When opportunities appear, pray. When someone needs encouragement, ask God to give you the words to speak.

    And wherever the Lord places us this week, let us remember that we carry something this world desperately needs—the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    We are not called merely to observe the darkness around us. We have been commanded to carry the Light into it.

    There may be someone God places before you this week who needs to hear that there is hope. Someone may need to experience Christian compassion. Someone may simply need to see through your life that Jesus Christ truly makes a difference.

    Let us therefore begin this week asking one simple question:

    “Lord, how can You use me today for Your glory?”

    “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” — Colossians 3:23

    May the Lord guide our steps, guard our hearts, strengthen our faith, and give us courage to faithfully proclaim Christ wherever He sends us.

    Yesterday we gathered to worship.

    Today we go forth to serve.

    Serving Christ Together for His Glory Alone.

    Soli Deo Gloria.
    Monday Encouragement — Now Let Us Live What We Believe Blessings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Yesterday we had the wonderful privilege of gathering with God’s people on the Lord’s Day. We worshiped our sovereign God, heard His precious Word proclaimed, prayed together, and were reminded once again of the saving grace that is ours through our Lord Jesus Christ. But now Monday has arrived. The worship service has ended, but our worship has not. Today we return to our homes, workplaces, ministries, communities, responsibilities, and challenges. And this is where the truth we heard yesterday must become visible in the way we live today. It is easy to proclaim our trust in God while surrounded by fellow believers on Sunday. The greater challenge comes on Monday when difficulties return, unexpected problems arise, and the noise of this world begins competing for our attention. Yet the God we worshiped yesterday is the same God who walks with us today. “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” — Hebrews 13:8 Whatever this week brings, let us resist the temptation to immediately depend upon our own understanding and strength. Before making decisions, pray. When difficulties arise, pray. When opportunities appear, pray. When someone needs encouragement, ask God to give you the words to speak. And wherever the Lord places us this week, let us remember that we carry something this world desperately needs—the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not called merely to observe the darkness around us.
