WONDERS OF THE CROSS

           
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness;  but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God .  1 Cor.1:18
Just a mention of the word, “cross”, the next name that readily comes to mind is Jesus. This is basic, however, there is more to it. A large number of people are aware of the cross, but very few have sojourned to that old rugged cross. Those in this category are really lost, because until you are saved, you are not safe. It is to them that Paul said, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God”.
Jesus Christ is the central theme of the cross, except He’s your Lord and Saviour, the Pearl of the cross for you may be far fetched. The Pearl of the cross connotes that which is very precious and highly valued about the cross. Indeed, everything about the cross of Jesus Christ is a pearl, both the one hanged on it, and the bounties which it offers. It is not just about the cross but the one hanged on it. What an amazement, that the dear Lamb of God left His glory above and bear it to dark calvary. He was hanged on the cross, not for His sins, “because in Him is no guile”; He went to the cross for you and I.  He gave His precious life, which in itself is a pearl.
Many have been deceived to  believe that the vicissitudes that they are passing through is their cross. Unfortunately, you hear many, including Christians say, “this is my cross”. Barrenness, failure, terminal illness,etc: your cross? These negative experiences are not your cross, and they can never be. It is His will that all be well with you, hence, He nailed these negative experiences to His own cross. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross.” Col. 2:14 That was why He proclaimed loudly: It is finished!
The cross is four-sided, pointing towards the north, south, east and west respectively. No matter where you are, and how far you are lost in this passing world, the cross is nearer to you that ever. Salvation, healing, deliverance, and all that pertains unto life and godliness is embedded in Jesus Christ. As you allow Him to reside in and preside over your life, the pearl of the cross becomes your eternal heritage.
If you want to perpetually experience the wonders of the cross, you must surrender your life totally  to He who was hanged on the cross, Jesus Christ. You can do so right now by acknowledging your sins, confessing, and totally repenting of them.

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”. According to the bible text, the individual willing to embark on the journey to greater height must, hearken diligently, and observe to do all instructions rolled out to him or her. Prayers is one of the conditions which anyone prep...

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
