Today’s Devotional…

In the beginning, Jesus Christ was the intangible (and invisible) expression of God as the Word equal in essence to God. This was God’s unfathomable wisdom at the beginning of all things.

Later on, when God decided to reveal Himself to the physical world, He expressed in Himself in the person of Jesus Christ – the child who was born to Mary, lived, suffered, and later died. That is God in human nature – humility at its peak!

In 1John 1:1-2, it is recorded: “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)

This is the mystery of the incarnation, and Jesus Christ Himself bears witness in the spirit as the Word which was from the beginning with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. (1Jn 5:7 KJV)

May the eyes of your understanding be enlightened the gasp this profitable mystery, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Today’s Devotional…

Preachers of Christ are not motivational speakers, but devout men and women who preach Christ; from His birth to the cross, and to His glorification.

Nowadays, multinational speakers get so much attention and popularity that some pastors have decided to become motivational speakers, simply seasoning their talks with “a pinch of Jesus”. Laughable.

While motivational speakers are trained to say what their audiences want to hear in a bid to motivate them towards a desired direction, gospel preachers are called to preach only Christ; through whom the sin of the world was taken away.

In the days of the apostles, the world probably had more problems than we have today, and desiring to hear something motivational to solve those problems, yet, the apostles gave them nothing but the gospel of Christ.

That is what Paul was talking about in 1 Corinthians 2:1-2: “And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified”

So, whether there be financial problems, marital problems, health problems, etc, if “Christ and Him crucified” is not enough for you, then you are looking for a motivational speaker and not a pastor. But ironically, your solutions lie in the foolishness of the preaching of Christ, and not in the enticing words of your motivational speakers. Ponder…

These are the days of 2Timothy 4:3-4 which says: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables”

But if the preaching of Christ does not motivate you enough to give me attention, let it be known to you that I will still preach Christ crucified – for that is the only gospel.

May the Holy Spirit replace your hunger for motivational messages with the hunger for the gospel of the finished works of Christ, in His holy name. Amen
