The God of ages, we serve


Acts 5:30
The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead — whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.


Exposition

Peter is making clear that his faith in Jesus didn't just begin with Jesus. It began with the Patriarchs, the great Jewish fathers.

The God who blessed them also raised Jesus from the dead, even though Jesus had been executed in the most heinous and degrading way possible for a faithful Jew — he was nailed to a cross, something that was both illegal and a sign of being cursed under Jewish Law.

He raised Jesus from the dead and exalted him and made him our Savior and our Lord. Praise God!


Prayer 

Thank you, dear Father, for showing your power over evil, sin, hate, jealousy, and death. In the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, I offer my praise and thanksgiving. Amen.

Let Them Say.

The perception, views, and says of your fellow human, doesn't define your true worth.  Don't forget what happened to Samuel when he went anointing David as king. Whiles Samuel was busy looking at appearance and physique. God was patiently looking into their hearts.  The utterances of others shouldn't stop u from achieving your set goals.  Discouraging words shouldn't prevent you from achieving your dream.  Don't let their words rule your life. God has the final say. Hear no man but listen to God all the time.  Let's pray, Father, give me the heart to stand and adhere to you at all times.

3 Secrets to Happiness ☺️

Happiness is sought by many in this world. Yet how many people enjoy this gift? Once you're born into a family, your joy begins from there. That's where you are thought the basics. Life without happiness is like a tree without leaves. Let's look at how we can be happy without restrictions. Be with those who rebuke you . I know this may sound weird but think about it. Joseph, though, was with his family. They always rebuked his dream. He became the breadwinner.  Those who rebuke you, dare you to bring your best and be your best? They know what's inside you, but you know where you're going with it. The rebuke will only remember you you have somewhere going. Don't be sad when they do. Please Nobody  Your dream is in your mind. You don't owe anybody an explanation of its fulfilment. Yours is to believe and work towards achieving it. Don't consider what people say or think about your aims and visions for life. Work it out with those who believe in it. Be sinc...

'Am I in your DNA?' asks the LORD.

1 Corinthians:15.49   And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. Exposition Beloved in Christ, the book of Genesis revealed how perfectly and miraculously God  made man from dust. After Adam, whom God knit with His own hands, the rest of us came from man; flesh and blood. Are you bearing the likeness of God? Can God's attributes be found in you? Are you portraying God's presence on earth? In short, is God in your DNA? Bearing the likeness of God is living as God on earth. Being as God doesn't mean boasting about in pride, it doesn't mean, letting the world bow to your knees or perhaps, using your status to influence favors that will deprive the less privileged. Bearing the likeness of God is you being just as Christ was. He is the man from heaven. He was humble despite His superiority in heaven. He was a servant, regardless of His status as God's son. Jesus Christ, loved all....
