OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON AUGUST 2, 2015 IS 2 CORINTHIANS 4: 1-18 THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE:

THE PRESENT WEAKNESS AND RESURRECTION LIFE OF PEACE: 1. Statistics has proved that majority of those who are troubled at heart or restless in life are those who do not put their trust in God. How do I know those who do not put their trust in God? Here are some of the manifestations: a) They faint because they are dishonest, and peace elude them b) They walk deceitfully and handling the word of God with craftiness c) We should walk in truth at all times in services to God and Man d) We should resurrect from our evil ways to holiness & righteousness e) Do not allow the gods of this world to blind the light of your heart f) Let the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus shine through you to all g) Do not preach yourself if you want peace but preach Jesus our Lord See verses 1-5. 2. Those who are in the milk level of the word of God believe that when they are newly saved, everything will change immediately for good and peace but it is not so, they do not know that we will partake in the sufferings of our Lord Jesus which is the juicy aspect of this race for our peace, the more we suffer, the more we succeed, they more we go through things, they more stronger we are in peace and joy, the more we are afflicted, the more we are uplifted. Take note: a) We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; b) We are perplexed, but not in despair; c) Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed d) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, e) That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body See verses 6-10 3. Most of us desire to have peace but we do not want to do what it takes to have peace. Jesus gave it all including his life for you and I to have peace today, what have you sacrificed for peace to reign in this world? We all desire peace but we do not want to do anything to have that peace or for our fellow humans to have that peace, it is not so, Jesus on the mount of Beatitudes said blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. The law of give and take cannot be broken, if you desire peace sow peace in someone’s life. See verses 11-14 4. The word grace has been running into my spirit, or should I say abundant grace, which ever one you can lay your hands on please do if you want “The Lord of Peace” Jehovah Shalom to be with you in this Month of August. How do I connect to abundant grace? First thing to do is to ask for all doors of repentance to be opened unto you; which are; the doors of Mercy, Grace and Forgiveness. Then Jehovah Shalom will be with you till eternity. When he comes into your life, here is the evidence to validate his power: a) You will be renewed daily b) Light affliction will turn to glory c) You will not walk by sight but by faith (Great Reward) d) You will know that the things which are seen are temporal e) The things not seen are eternal (Seek those things from now).See verses 15-18. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power of God to reject the present weaknesses in your life and turn them to strength to fulfil your purpose on earth so that “The Lord of Peace” will be with you till eternity in Jesus name Amen. Read below: 2Corinthians 4: 1-18 King James Version (KJV) Present Weakness and Resurrection Life 4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
