  • BEHIND JESUS

    TEXT: Acts 18:28

    SUPPORTING TEXTS: John 1:1–14; John 4:8, 24; Philippians 3:3

    OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this teaching, participants should be able to:

    1. Understand that God is Spirit and that He has revealed Himself to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    2. Recognize the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, and understand why God manifested Himself in the flesh.

    3. Explain why Jesus is the only way to salvation and why human religion, morality, or religious tradition cannot save man.

    4. Defend the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God manifested in the flesh, using Scripture.

    INTRODUCTION

    Acts 18:28 (KJV):

    “For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”

    The subject of Jesus Christ goes beyond what can be seen physically. To understand Jesus, we must look behind Jesus—behind His humanity, His earthly appearance, His birth, His ministry, His death and resurrection—to discover who He truly is.

    The Bible teaches that God is Spirit:

    John 4:24 (KJV):

    “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

    God is also love:

    1 John 4:8:

    “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

    Love cannot be seen with the physical eyes, and the Spirit cannot be seen with the physical eyes. Yet both are real.

    QUESTION

    Have you ever physically seen love? Have you ever physically seen a spirit?

    Although you cannot see love itself, you can see the manifestation of love through actions. Likewise, God, who is Spirit, made Himself known to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    John 1:14 (KJV):

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus is therefore the visible manifestation of the invisible God.

    Colossians 1:15:

    “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.”

    1. GOD MANIFESTED HIMSELF THROUGH MAN

    God revealed Himself through the human life of Jesus Christ so that humanity could know, believe, and receive Him.

    John 1:14:

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus did not merely come to teach people about God. He came as God manifested in the flesh.

    1 Timothy 3:16:

    “God was manifest in the flesh…”

    Jesus showed mankind what God is like through His character, words, works, compassion, holiness, power and love.

    2. THE BREATH OF MAN IS LIMITED

    Man's physical life is temporary. The breath of man is dependent upon God.

    Isaiah 2:22:

    “Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

    James 4:14:

    “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

    Man's life is limited, but God's life is eternal.

    3. THE LIFE OF GOD IS ETERNAL

    God does not depend upon another source for His existence. He is the eternal God.

    John 1:4:

    “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

    John 11:25:

    “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life…”

    1 John 5:11:

    “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”

    The eternal life of God is revealed to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    4. THE CHARACTER OF MAN IS CORRUPTED BY SIN

    Humanity, because of sin, cannot become its own saviour.

    Jeremiah 17:9:

    “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…”

    Romans 3:23:

    “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

    Man therefore needs salvation from outside himself.

    5. THE CHARACTER OF GOD IS GOOD

    God is holy, righteous, loving and good.

    Psalm 100:5:

    “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

    Psalm 145:9:

    “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

    Jesus demonstrated the goodness and character of God among humanity.

    Acts 10:38:

    “…who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

    6. MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF — JESUS SAVES

    Religion cannot save man. Human wisdom cannot save man. Good works, by themselves, cannot save man.

    Ephesians 2:8–9:

    “For by grace are ye saved through faith… Not of works…”

    Salvation is found in Jesus Christ.

    Acts 4:12:

    “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

    The God whom humanity could not physically see came near to humanity in Jesus Christ—and Jesus saves.

    THE REASON GOD MANIFESTED HIMSELF IN THE FLESH

    1. SO THAT WE COULD SEE HIM

    God became visible through Jesus Christ.

    John 14:9:

    “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father…”

    Jesus is the revelation of the invisible God.

    Colossians 2:9:

    “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

    2. SO THAT WE COULD TOUCH HIM AND KNOW HIM

    John testified that Jesus was physically real.

    1 John 1:1:

    “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes… and our hands have handled…”

    The apostles did not proclaim an imaginary person. They witnessed, heard and physically encountered Jesus Christ.

    3. SO THAT WE COULD FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM

    Jesus did not merely appear to humanity from a distance. He lived among people.

    1 John 1:3:

    “…that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us…”»l

    Jesus also fellowshiped with His disciples.

    Matthew 26:30:

    “And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.”

    He ate with them, walked with them, taught them and fellowshipped with them.

    4. TO REVEAL THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH THE FLESH

    Jesus demonstrated God's power through miracles, healing, deliverance and authority.

    John 2:11:

    “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory…”

    Acts 2:22:

    “Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs…”

    His works revealed what was behind the humanity—the divine nature and power of God.

    5. TO EXPERIENCE HUMANITY AND IDENTIFY WITH US

    Jesus experienced hunger, thirst, weariness, sorrow, rejection and temptation, yet without sin.

    Hebrews 4:15:

    “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities…”

    Hebrews 2:17:

    “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren…”

    He understands what humanity experiences.

    6. TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR OUR SALVATION

    The ultimate reason for His manifestation was redemption.

    Matthew 26:28:

    “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

    1 Peter 1:18–19:

    “…ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… But with the precious blood of Christ…”

    Jesus came to die for the sins of humanity and rise again.

    1 Corinthians 15:3–4:

    “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day…”

    YOU CANNOT GET GOD CHEAPLY

    Gold does not usually lie openly on the surface. It must be sought, discovered and refined.

    In the same way, we must look beyond the outward appearance of Jesus to understand who He truly is.

    Jeremiah 29:13:

    “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

    Behind the soil, there may be gold.

    Behind the humanity of Jesus, there is the revelation of God.

    Jesus appeared as a man, but He was more than merely a man.

    John 10:30:

    “I and my Father are one.”

    John 20:28:

    “And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”

    The Messiah was hidden behind the humanity of Jesus until He was revealed to those who believed.

    ANY SPIRIT THAT DENIES JESUS CAME IN THE FLESH

    The Bible gives a serious warning concerning any teaching that denies the incarnation.

    1 John 4:2–3:

    “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God…”

    Jesus truly came in the flesh.

    He was not merely a spiritual appearance. He was genuinely human while being divine.

    WHY ACTS 18:28 IS IMPORTANT

    Acts 18:28:

    “For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”

    Apollos and the early Christian preachers had to convince the Jews from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah.

    Many Jews expected the Messiah to establish an earthly political kingdom and deliver them from their enemies. They struggled to understand the manner in which the Messiah would first come.

    Jesus did not come first as an earthly political ruler. He came as the suffering Servant who would deal with the deeper problem of humanity sin.

    Isaiah 53:5:

    “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities…”

    His kingdom is ultimately spiritual and eternal.

    John 18:36:

    “My kingdom is not of this world…”

    Luke 1:32–33:

    “…the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever…”

    Therefore, Jesus did not fit the people's expectation of what the Messiah should look like, but the Scriptures testified concerning Him.

    PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: WHY PEOPLE STILL REJECT JESUS

    Even today, many people reject Jesus because they do not understand what is behind the Gospel.

    Some see religious hypocrisy, fanaticism, scandals, poor leadership or people who claim Christianity but do not demonstrate Christ-like character.

    But the failure of people does not invalidate Jesus.

    We must distinguish between Jesus Christ and the imperfections of people who claim to represent Him.

    Hebrews 12:2:

    “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”

    Our faith must ultimately be placed in Christ, not in imperfect human beings.

    Some people look to God for survival, prosperity, longevity or protection but do not truly know Him.

    They may place their hope in religious traditions, human philosophies or personal beliefs while rejecting God's saving grace.

    But the Gospel points us back to Jesus.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GOD

    Jesus made this clear:

    John 14:6:

    “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

    Peter also declared:

    Acts 4:12:

    “Neither is there salvation in any other…”

    Jesus did not merely claim to know the way. He declared Himself to be the Way.

    His resurrection became one of the greatest proofs of His identity.

    Romans 1:4:

    “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”

    The Christian faith is therefore not founded merely on human philosophy but on the person, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    CONCLUSION: WHO IS BEHIND JESUS?

    Behind the humanity of Jesus is the divine revelation of God.

    Jesus is the Word who became flesh.

    John 1:1–3:

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him…”

    And then:

    John 1:14:

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus is the image of the invisible God.

    Colossians 1:15:

    “Who is the image of the invisible God…”

    The fullness of God dwells in Him.

    Colossians 2:9:

    “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

    He existed before Abraham.

    John 8:58:

    “Before Abraham was, I am.”

    He is one with the Father.

    John 10:30:

    “I and my Father are one.”

    Thomas called Him God.

    John 20:28:

    “My Lord and my God.”

    And the Father Himself speaks concerning the Son:

    Hebrews 1:8:

    “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever…”

    Therefore, when we look at Jesus, we must look beyond the physical appearance of the man and understand the divine truth revealed through Him.

    Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh.
    Jesus Christ is the revelation of God.
    Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
    Jesus Christ is the Saviour.
    Jesus Christ is the Way to the Father.
    And in Him is eternal life.

    FINAL CHALLENGE

    Do not stop at what you see on the surface.

    Look behind Jesus.

    Look beyond His humanity and discover His divine identity through the Scriptures.

    John 20:31:

    “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

    The goal is not merely to know about Jesus. The goal is to know Jesus, believe in Him, and receive the salvation and eternal life that are found in Him.

  • God can use dreams for many purposes. Here are four biblical ways He speaks through them.

    1 –God Can Impart Through Dreams

    In 1 Kings 3:5–12, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and invited him to ask for whatever he desired. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could lead God’s people well and distinguish between right and wrong. The Lord was pleased with his request and gave him extraordinary wisdom.

    Solomon did not merely dream about God—he encountered God in his dream. What happened while he slept resulted in a genuine impartation that affected his waking life.

    There have been times when I sensed the Holy Spirit’s presence intensely in a dream and then awakened with that same sense of His presence in the room. A dream can become a genuine place of encounter. God can impart wisdom, courage, direction, or spiritual strength through it.

    2 –God Can Reveal the Future Through Dreams

    Genesis 41 records Pharaoh’s troubling dreams and Joseph’s God-given interpretation. The dreams revealed that seven years of prosperity would be followed by seven years of famine. Because God revealed what was coming, Egypt was able to prepare.

    God can reveal future events through dreams. Sometimes, He may show you something before it happens; at other times, He may confirm what He has already been speaking to your heart.

    Years ago, at about age ten, I had a dream in which I saw an old man carrying a load in a "Ghana Must Go" bag. I took the load from the old man and walked with him for a distance. At a point , he asked me to put the load down, and when I did, he opened the bag; it was full of Bibles. He gave me one of them and told me to cherish it. He then said he could carry on from that point. He moved a distance away and vanished into thin air. In another dream at a different time, I was given Genesis 17:1–4. In a third dream, a well-built man in a white robe came to me and gave me a briefcase, telling me to guard it well, as everything in it was for me. I opened it and found a Bible and a white handkerchief with a dove drawn at the center, inscribed with the words "Holy Spirit."

    When I shared these dreams, I was told God would use me. Since then, God has used dreams to show me what lies ahead, what is present, and even what is in the past that needs to be unraveled.

    3 –God Can Reveal Important Information

    After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him it was safe to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:19–20). The dream provided the information Joseph needed for a decision in that moment.

    Daniel also declared, “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future” (Daniel 2:28, NLT).

    The Holy Spirit may reveal a missing piece of information, bring clarity to something you have been sensing, or expose a matter that needs prayer. But dreams must never make you paranoid or suspicious of everyone around you. Do not make accusations or major decisions based on a dream alone. Remain discerning, levelheaded, prayerful, and submitted to Scripture.

    4 –God Can Warn Through Dreams

    God may use a dream to warn you about physical danger, spiritual attack, a damaging decision, or a difficult season ahead. Sometimes a warning calls you to act; other times, it simply calls you to pray and prepare.

    In Genesis 15:12–14, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a terrifying darkness came over him. God warned him that his descendants would be oppressed for 400 years, but He also promised to judge the nation that enslaved them and bring His people out with great wealth.

    This passage corrects a common misconception: a dream from God will not always feel pleasant. A warning may produce a serious or even troubling emotional response. The presence of a negative emotion does not automatically prove that a dream is not from God. The more important questions are whether the message agrees with Scripture and whether it ultimately leads you toward faith, obedience, prayer, and redemption.

    God bless you!
    God can use dreams for many purposes. Here are four biblical ways He speaks through them. 1 –God Can Impart Through Dreams In 1 Kings 3:5–12, the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream and invited him to ask for whatever he desired. Solomon asked for an understanding heart so that he could lead God’s people well and distinguish between right and wrong. The Lord was pleased with his request and gave him extraordinary wisdom. Solomon did not merely dream about God—he encountered God in his dream. What happened while he slept resulted in a genuine impartation that affected his waking life. There have been times when I sensed the Holy Spirit’s presence intensely in a dream and then awakened with that same sense of His presence in the room. A dream can become a genuine place of encounter. God can impart wisdom, courage, direction, or spiritual strength through it. 2 –God Can Reveal the Future Through Dreams Genesis 41 records Pharaoh’s troubling dreams and Joseph’s God-given interpretation. The dreams revealed that seven years of prosperity would be followed by seven years of famine. Because God revealed what was coming, Egypt was able to prepare. God can reveal future events through dreams. Sometimes, He may show you something before it happens; at other times, He may confirm what He has already been speaking to your heart. Years ago, at about age ten, I had a dream in which I saw an old man carrying a load in a "Ghana Must Go" bag. I took the load from the old man and walked with him for a distance. At a point , he asked me to put the load down, and when I did, he opened the bag; it was full of Bibles. He gave me one of them and told me to cherish it. He then said he could carry on from that point. He moved a distance away and vanished into thin air. In another dream at a different time, I was given Genesis 17:1–4.

Since then, God has used dreams to show me what lies ahead, what is present, and even what is in the past that needs to be unraveled. 3 –God Can Reveal Important Information After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him it was safe to return to Israel with Mary and Jesus (Matthew 2:19–20).

  • 1 Corinthians 4:1 NASB
    "This is the way any person is to regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God."

    Many people who have been deceived into believing false Gospels, those that add any human effort to salvation, which is a gift from God to all those who place their faith in Jesus alone, think that they are servants of Christ because they go about spreading their false gospels. BUT they believe in a different gospel and follow a different christ.

    Ministers of the true gospel are "stewards of the mysteries of God." The word "steward" was translated from the Greek word οἰκονόμος, pronounced oy-kon-om'-os, and it means, according to Strong's Exhaustive Dictionary, "a house distributor (that is manager) or overseer that is an employee in that capacity; by extension a fiscal agent (treasurer); figuratively 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿 (𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗹): - chamberlain governor steward."

    Preachers of the true gospel preach about the mysteries of God.

    1 Corinthians 2:7-13 NASB
    "but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; [8] the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; [9] but just as it is written: “Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, And which have not entered the human heart, All that God has prepared for those who love Him.” [10] For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. [11] For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. [12] Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God. [13] We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words."

    The great mystery is this: that God would so love us that he withheld nothing from us, even offering up the body and blood of his own son for us, so that if we'd only believe in Jesus and his finished work at Calvary as being sufficient for our salvation, that we would be given the righteousness of God in Christ, salvation, redemption, justification, sanctification and inherit eternal life through no effort of our own or any of our own works through obedience to the commandments.

    Anything else is a false Gospel. Anyone offering you a Jesus who wasn't enough is offering you a false Jesus and a different Jesus.

A redeemer restores the lost rights and freedoms of another by avenging any wrongs and paying whatever price is required to set that person free. The role of “Redeemer” is uniquely assigned to Jesus Christ, who rescues believers “from the dominion of darkness” and delivers them into God’s kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13–14). Throughout the Bible, God’s work of redemption points to Jesus as the supreme Redeemer of humanity (Isaiah 63:16). Christ is the fulfillment of Scripture’s redemptive theme (Romans 3:25). #JesusChrist #Redeemer #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Salvation

    “WHO GOD SAYS I AM”
    I AM NOT CONDEMNED
    Romans 8:1 (LLV) —
    “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
    Sometimes
    we are better
    at remembering
    our failures
    than remembering
    God's grace.
    We confess
    our sin.
    We ask
    for forgiveness.
    We believe
    Christ paid
    the price.
    And yet,
    somewhere
    inside,
    we continue
    to pronounce
    ourselves
    guilty.
    We replay
    the moment.
    We hear
    the accusation.
    We wonder
    how God
    could possibly
    look at us
    the same way
    again.
    Then Paul
    gives us
    one of Scripture's
    great declarations
    of freedom:
    “There is
    now
    no condemnation.”
    Not less
    condemnation.
    Not condemnation
    held back
    until our next
    failure.
    No
    condemnation.
    Why?
    Not because
    we have
    no sin.
    Not because
    our failures
    do not matter.
    But because
    we are
    “in Christ Jesus.”
    Jesus
    has already
    stood
    in our place.
    The judgment
    our sin deserved
    fell upon Him.
    The price
    has been paid.
    Yesterday,
    we called it
    redemption.
    Today,
    we discover
    what redemption
    means
    for the redeemed.
    We are
    free
    from condemnation.
    There is
    an important difference
    between conviction
    and condemnation.
    The Holy Spirit
    convicts us
    when we sin.
    Conviction says,
    “This is wrong.
    Come back
    to God.”
    Condemnation says,
    “You are wrong.
    There is no way
    back.”
    One leads us
    toward
    our Father.
    The other
    drives us
    away from Him.
    God corrects
    His children,
    but He does not
    cast away
    those who belong
    to Christ.
    So when
    an old failure
    returns
    to accuse us,
    we do not
    have to argue
    our innocence.
    We simply
    remember
    where we stand.
    In Christ.
    Forgiven.
    Redeemed.
    No longer
    condemned.
    A new beginning does not deny yesterday's sin; it trusts what Christ has done with it:
    there is now no condemnation for me because I am in Christ Jesus.
    Reflection: Am I still condemning myself for something God has already forgiven, instead of accepting the freedom Christ purchased for me?
    Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that my standing before You rests upon Christ and not upon my own perfection. When memories of past failures accuse me, remind me of what You have declared: there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Convict me when I wander, correct me when I need it, but help me never confuse Your loving correction with condemnation. Teach me to walk in the freedom Christ purchased for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  • TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

    WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

    THE HIGHWAY TO HELL OR THE ROAD TO ETERNAL LIFE?

    Stop for a moment.

    Look at the clock.

    Your time on earth is not unlimited.

    Every day people leave this world, and none of us knows when our own earthly journey will end.

    The Bible says:

    “You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” — James 4:14

    The question isn't whether we will die.

    The question is: Are we ready to meet God?

    You cannot buy salvation.
    You cannot earn salvation.
    Good works cannot erase sin.

    But there is GOOD NEWS!

    JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY TO SALVATION!

    “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” — John 14:6

    “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12

    “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” — Romans 10:13

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16

    Jesus died for our sins.
    Jesus rose from the dead.
    Jesus offers forgiveness.
    Jesus offers redemption.
    Jesus offers eternal life.

    DON'T WAIT FOR A TOMORROW YOU ARE NOT PROMISED.

    Turn away from sin.

    Turn toward Jesus.

    Repent.

    Believe.

    Surrender your life to Christ.

    The door of salvation is open NOW.

    A DEEP PRAYER OF SALVATION, REDEMPTION & SURRENDER

    Lord Jesus Christ,

    I come before You just as I am.

    I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. I need You.

    I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins, that You were buried, and that You rose again from the dead.

    Jesus, I ask You to forgive me.

    Wash me clean.

    Redeem me.

    Restore me.

    Break the chains of sin that have held me captive.

    Take control of my life.

    I surrender my heart, my mind, my body, my past, my present, and my future to You.

    I surrender my pride.

    I surrender my fears.

    I surrender my addictions.

    I surrender my bitterness.

    I surrender my unforgiveness.

    I surrender everything I have been trying to control.

    Jesus, be Lord of my life.

    Give me a new heart and a renewed mind.

    Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

    Teach me to love what You love and turn away from what separates me from You.

    When I fall, help me get back up.

    When I am weak, strengthen me.

    When I am tempted, give me a way of escape.

    When I am afraid, remind me that You are with me.

    When I doubt, strengthen my faith.

    When I wander, bring me back.

    I don't want merely to know about You.

    I want to know You.

    I don't want a religion without relationship.

    I want Jesus.

    I surrender my eternity into Your hands.

    Thank You for the cross.

    Thank You for Your blood.

    Thank You for Your mercy.

    Thank You for Your grace.

    Thank You for the resurrection.

    Thank You for loving me when I did not deserve it.

    From this moment forward, help me live for You.

    Jesus Christ, I belong to You.

    Amen.

    THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

    Don't postpone getting right with God.

    You don't know what tomorrow holds.

    But you can choose Jesus today.

    JESUS IS THE ROAD TO LIFE.

    Jesus, be Lord of my life.

    Give me a new heart and a renewed mind.

    Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.

    Teach me to love what You love and turn away from what separates me from You.

    When I fall, help me get back up.

    When I am weak, strengthen me.

    When I am tempted, give me a way of escape.

    When I am afraid, remind me that You are with me.

    When I doubt, strengthen my faith.

    When I wander, bring me back.

    I don't want merely to know about You.

    I want to know You.

    I don't want a religion without relationship.

    I want Jesus.

    I surrender my eternity into Your hands.

    Thank You for the cross.

    Thank You for Your blood.

    Thank You for Your mercy.

    Thank You for Your grace.

    Thank You for the resurrection.

    Thank You for loving me when I did not deserve it.

    From this moment forward, help me live for You.

    Jesus Christ, I belong to You.

    Amen.

    THE CLOCK IS TICKING.

    Don't postpone getting right with God.

    You don't know what tomorrow holds.

    But you can choose Jesus today.

    JESUS IS THE ROAD TO LIFE.

    JESUS IS THE SAVIOR.

    JESUS IS THE HOPE.

    JESUS IS LORD.

    Choose Him while you still have today.

    ⏰ TIME IS RUNNING OUT! WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY? 🛣️ THE HIGHWAY TO HELL 🔥 OR THE ROAD TO ETERNAL LIFE? ✝️ Stop for a moment. Look at the clock. ⏰ Your time on earth is not unlimited. Every day people leave this world, and none of us knows when our own earthly journey will end. The Bible says: “You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” — James 4:14 The question isn't whether we will die. The question is: Are we ready to meet God? You cannot buy salvation. You cannot earn salvation. Good works cannot erase sin. But there is GOOD NEWS! ✝️ JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY TO SALVATION! “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” — John 14:6 “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” — Acts 4:12 “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” — Romans 10:13 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” — John 3:16 Jesus died for our sins. Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus offers forgiveness. Jesus offers redemption. Jesus offers eternal life. ⏰ DON'T WAIT FOR A TOMORROW YOU ARE NOT PROMISED. Turn away from sin. Turn toward Jesus. Repent. Believe. Surrender your life to Christ. The door of salvation is open NOW. --- 🙏 A DEEP PRAYER OF SALVATION, REDEMPTION & SURRENDER Lord Jesus Christ, I come before You just as I am. I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. I need You. I believe that You are the Son of God, that You died for my sins, that You were buried, and that You rose again from the dead. Jesus, I ask You to forgive me. Wash me clean. Redeem me. Restore me. Break the chains of sin that have held me captive. Take control of my life. I surrender my heart, my mind, my body, my past, my present, and my future to You. I surrender my pride. I surrender my fears. I surrender my addictions. I surrender my bitterness. I surrender my unforgiveness. I surrender everything I have been trying to control. Jesus, be Lord of my life. Give me a new heart and a renewed mind. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Teach me to love what You love and turn away from what separates me from You. When I fall, help me get back up. When I am weak, strengthen me. When I am tempted, give me a way of escape. When I am afraid, remind me that You are with me. When I doubt, strengthen my faith. When I wander, bring me back. I don't want merely to know about You. I want to know You. I don't want a religion without relationship. I want Jesus. I surrender my eternity into Your hands. Thank You for the cross. Thank You for Your blood. Thank You for Your mercy. Thank You for Your grace. Thank You for the resurrection. Thank You for loving me when I did not deserve it. From this moment forward, help me live for You. Jesus Christ, I belong to You. Amen. 🙏❤️✝️ ⏰ THE CLOCK IS TICKING. Don't postpone getting right with God. You don't know what tomorrow holds.

  • We are living in a time of tremendous technological advancement, specially in A.I., Data-Centres & Flock-Cameras. Hence the message is titled: "A.I. is far more dangerous than you think". Is this something to be frightened of, no certainly not: "When we see all these things happening, rejoice, look up, your redemption is drawing near. Technology can be used to spread the Gospel & Bible teaching fast & effectively, but this message is a warning against the spiritual dangers of A.I. So we can use it wisely but we need to be very discerning & wise & know when to not rely on this. Making sure that this reliance, does not become dependence, leading to be an idol that is giving us false information.
