“Unveiling the Profound Benefits of Intercession” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“Exod.17.11: And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (KJV).

In this article, we will delve into the profound effects of intercession:

Impact on Individuals and People:
Intercession bridges the gap for others, leading them into light, salvation, maturity, and victory over challenges. For instance, Jesus interceded for Peter’s faith to remain steadfast, resulting in his remarkable contributions to the early church. Lazarus’ revival after intercession demonstrates its transformative power. Similarly, personal testimonies attest to intercession’s ability to break through sickness and adversity (Exo 17:11).

Transformative Power on the Intercessor:
Intercession draws God’s attention to the intercessor. As prayers go up for others, God attends to the intercessor’s needs, refining their character and circumstances. Job’s intercession for his friends led to his own restoration. Moses’ radiant face after communing with God illustrates how intercession can bring about personal transformation (Job 42:10, Exo 34:35).

Manifestation of the Kingdom of God:
Intercession activates the presence of God’s kingdom on Earth, summoning…..”

“Lessons from the Life of Timothy” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“The study of individuals and an understanding of their actions, lifestyle, and exploits can help us in our journey to purpose.

Here, I will explore some of the transitional truths about the life of Timothy, which can help every Christian in their walk with God.

First, who was Timothy? The name Timothy means ‘honoring God,’ and the man Timothy in the Bible was from the Lycaonian city of Lystra or Derbe in Asia Minor. He was born to a Jewish mother who had become a Christian believer and a Greek father. He met Apostle Paul during his second missionary journey.

Studying the life of Timothy has opened me up to the following wisdom:

Generational influence: The truth remains that everyone comes from a generation that either impacts and reflects on the next generation positively or negatively, depending on the actions of the previous generation. However, we can make a difference, just like Timothy, who was raised by a mother who was a Jew and a father who was a Greek (Acts 16:1). His father’s influence as a Greek, which was termed the uncircumcised, could not hinder his vision of what God had deposited in his heart. He carefully made the right choice, resulting in a glorious destiny. As you can see, no matter your background, you can still fulfill that mission through your decision.

Adhering to spiritual virtue: Timothy lived on with the spiritual faith transferred to him, first from his grandmother to his mother and then to him (2 Tim 1:5). It is a great privilege for a person, whether young or old, to hold on to the positive spiritual attributes being imparted to them. Although we are in the last days where evil abounds, this should not quench or distract our focus on this virtue, which is your life.

Sincere trust: Timothy was totally devoted and genuine in his assignment to the extent that…..”

“The White Fields” By Bro. Kingsley Manuel

“In the white fields, the harvest awaits
For workers to heed the call of faith
To scatter seeds upon every land
And watch them grow by God’s mighty hand

The gospel sown, hearts set ablaze,
Spreading joy, hope with each embrace,
To open eyes of the lost so wide,
Embracing truth, no longer to hide.

The toil is hard, the sun beats down,
But each step forward claims a crown,
Hearts are touched with each shared word,
A harvest reaped, souls awakened and stirred.

So let us labor with strength and might,
Spreading the news, breaking the chains tight,
Of sin and death that hold so fast,
Bringing the lost into God’s light.

For in these golden fields of harvest,
Lies a broken world, bitter and cold,
Yearning for love and endless grace,
That only Christ can truly unfold.

So let our hearts be filled with love,
Sowing seeds, praying to God above,
That hearts are touched and souls set free,
And the gospel harvest, at last, we see.

In fields of white, the harvest calls,
For laborers to share God’s love that enthralls,
The gospel true, grace abounding,
To those who have yet to hear, still surrounding.

The seed of truth, the Word of life,
Is sown by those who answer God’s strife,
To tell the lost of Christ who saves,
And bring them to His loving embrace.

The joy that fills the sower’s heart,
As they witness abundant fruit impart,
Is worth the sweat and tears they shed,
As they tirelessly journey, pathways spread.

May we be the ones who boldly go,
To distant fields that long to know,
And radiate the light of Christ,
To souls dwelling in darkness, obscured from sight.

For in these white fields ripe for harvest,
Lies a world in desperate need,
Of the Bread of life, the living Word,
That only Christ can truly feed.

So let us go forth and sow these fields,
Trusting God to do His part and yield,
To bring to life the seeds we sow,
Drawing them to His loving heart’s glow.

John 4:35 says, “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (ESV)…..”

THE UNOCCUPIED HEART By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“‘Then it says, I will return to the house I left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order.’ – Mathew 12: 44

An unoccupied heart is a heart without any content, void, having no occupant, spent in idleness or inactivity.

As Christians, our heart is like our home that needs to be occupied with what’s edifying and glorifying so as to make the most of our calling in thoughts, words and actions.

When you were saved, the blood of Jesus has already cleansed and put your heart in order. However you shouldn’t allow it to remain just like this, you must engage and fill it with the presence of God and the word of God.

Significantly,

▪Nature abhors a vacuum and….”

The Cost of Following Jesus – By Sis Jane Edema

“Being followers of Christ is what we are called into as Christians.

However, Jesus mentioned in one of His parables that it is wisdom that one calculates the cost of any endeavor before embarking on it.

Lest he starts something he can’t finish and then, becomes a laughing stock.

In this day and age, you may have noticed several alterations, supposed “amendments” to our Christianity: particularly around lifestyle, where one who gets saved isn’t differentiable from one who isn’t.

Hence, one is tempted to ask….”
