Text: Mat 23: 27 & 28

27 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." Amen

Growth is an essential part of the Christian life. Each believer, with time, is required of God to "graduate" from being fed to feeding others; from being taught to teaching others; from being led to leading others. There are, however, peculiar challenges associated with every level of growth in the Christendom.
There is a dangerous phenomenon where believers grow to a point where they assume that they have arrived and have seen it all. In Jesus' day, the leaders of the church were the ones who suffered this phenomenon greatly. Jesus termed it as being "whitewashed tombs". It was so severe that Jesus had to warn the crowds and His disciples saying; "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach." (Mat 23: 2 & 3)
Today, many lay Christians (not only pastors and leaders) also suffer from this phenomenon. There are a lot of whitewashed tombs warming the pews in church each Sunday and at evening services.
A whitewashed-tomb believer is one who professes one thing and does the opposite; one whose actions are very different from his words; one who looks very righteous and faultless on the outside but has a secret life which is contrary to what God desires.
In 1Timothy 4:12 & 16, Paul admonishes Timothy by saying; "...set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."
You may be a whitewashed tomb, or you may know someone who is. Beloved, rise up and pray for the grace and strength to live as a true ambassador of Christ; for it is God who works in us, both to will and to do according to His good purpose.

Text: Gen 50: 20.

20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Amen.

Joseph was unique among his brothers. God in His wisdom decides to favour him although he was the last but one of 12 strong men.

To complicate matters, their father openly showed he loved Joseph more. As a result, his brothers plotted evil against him but God turned it for good.

Stop blaming God, yourself and everyone for your challenges. Rather begin to ask God what the real essence of your pain is. What does He want to teach you through your trials? What ultimate good has He for you if you faithfully endure to the end?

Whenever you feel pressed on every side, know that it is meant to unveil God's ultimate plan for your life.

Those who are able to uncover the real essence of their challenges, bear with the pain a little better. For they know that in the end, God will glorify Himself in their situation.

Begin to pray therefore. Ask God to help you know through scriptures, why trials come and what every believer must do to overcome. Also ask for grace to continue to love God and your neighbours though pressed on every side.

Do not be afraid at what the devil has meant to harm you, God will turn it around for your good! He will then use your life and story to save many lives.

Text: Luke 12:16

Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully." Amen

In this common story, we are told of a certain rich man who had accumulated so much wealth (physical things), that he no longer considered  God who gave him a good yield, but felt his soul would feed on the abundance of his crops and goods.

Today, we want to look at the passage from another perspective. One thing we must bear in mind is the fact that, only a good and well-cultivated soil, in our world today, is capable of bearing much and good fruits; all things being equal. If this rich man were alive today, there's no doubt that he would have won the best farmer for decades, because his ground produces abundantly.

In this same light, we as Christians must work hard to prepare, till and cultivate the grounds of our heart, to receive the seed of the Word of God.

It is only on such good grounds that the Word we read or hear can germinate and bear much and good fruits. How rich are you in the Word of God, and how prepared is your heart for godly things?

Begin to pray now: ask God to plough the grounds of your hardened heart, remove stones and broken bottles, and make your heart yield abundance after you have heard the Word of God. Also, ask that He helps you to work excellently with your hands for an abundant yield.

You know that those stones and broken bottles we are praying against include pride, laziness, 'philosophical approach' towards the Word of God, sin, bitterness, being too busy for God, etc. Allow the power of the resurrected Christ to help you get rid of all those so you can be free to grow and expand in Him.

The Easter festivities are over; it's time for hard work again. Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

Text: Habakkuk 3: 2

Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. Amen.

Oh how we long for the days when godliness was the standard. Those times when the body of Christ will not cease praying until the earth conforms to the will of heaven. Those were the times when believers had no other desire than to do the will of the Father and obey His Word. This was reflected in how they lived, dressed and spoke.

Therefore, God in turn confirmed His every word in their lives and blessed them beyond measure. His presence was constantly with them, doing wonders.

Lately, man has little or no room for God anymore. We are too busy enjoying the earth than to bother about some everlasting God or eternity. Even believers are caught up in the chase of the world and EVERYTHING in it so they detest pure spirituality. Almost, to say: "don't be too deep into God, a little 'fun', a little of God, that's how to go."

No wonder there is no revival in our land. The love for this world and for money has crippled many, and virtually succeeded in creating a generation that has so comprised the Word of God that we hardly see the manifestation of its awesome power in our very lives. The countless miracles we see in the Bible are not happening in our days anymore.

The trust of the masses is now resting on a few self-acclaimed spiritual men/women whose very spirituality is sometimes questionable as some of their activities are unbiblical and the fruits they bear look nothing like Christ.

Now, gather together all those who desire to see the manifestation of the power of God active and strong in our lives, churches and communities again. It is time to pray and our prayer is a very simple one: "Lord, we have heard of your fame; we stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy."

Pray with all your heart and refuse to give up till there is absolute repentance on earth as it was in the days of Jonah when he preached to the people of Nineveh; and until there is a turnover of whole cities as it was in the days of the apostles.

Also pray to see miraculous signs and wonders happening in and with the lives of all who have come to believe in Christ, just as Jesus promised. And pray the peace of God over your mind, body and soul as it was in the days of Solomon.

Ask for the miracle of Hannah, Sarah and Elizabeth; the elevation of David from a shepherd to a king; the healing of Naaman, and the intellect of Daniel. Tell the Lord to repeat these in our days and magnify His Word in our lives that we may live for Him. In His wrath, plead that He remembers mercy.
