SAPELE/DELTA STATE MUST BETTER. 28/10/2014. Morning Coffee of the Word of Our God. Getting to Know the Master. I was 20 when I read from the Bible for the first time. Someone had suggested I read the Gospel of John first, but I knew so little about the Bible at the time that I didn’t understand the Gospels were four separate accounts of the master’s life and ministry. So I started at what seemed the more logical place, at the beginning of the New Testament, with the Gospel of Matthew. By the time I got to the Gospel of John, I was fascinated with Jesus. He had the perfect answer to every question and always knew exactly what to do and say,even at his tender age. But more than that, He seemed to understand me and know exactly what I needed. His words were powerful and alive. He was alive! His words reached across more than 2000 years and touched me in a way I had never experienced before. When I finally came to John 15:15—“I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you”—I felt He was speaking directly to me because my name is by coincident John. Jesus called me His friend! I got so excited I couldn’t sit still. I wanted to tell the whole world through this page but i needed to control my anxiety because this work is risky. I had prayed to receive Him as my Savior a few months before, but nothing much changed until I began reading His words with an open, receptive heart,after a particular day i traded words with some persons in one of my post. His words were powerful and alive and, best of all, personal. And it got even better. Some time later, I discovered that Jesus still speaks directly and personally to His followers today, just as wonderfully as He spoke to His first disciples. Further Readings: Hebrews 4:15 ESV / For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. John 3:16 ESV / For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Luke 2:34 ESV / And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed PRAYER: Heavenly King, Father of Light we give you Glory honour and adoration for the privilege to see this beautiful day. We thank you for making all things beautiful for us today. Thank you God for the greatest gift in life-Jesus, and for the privilege to know him and have him in our lives always. Through this we know that we are more than conquerors and overcomers in this life. Greater is he that is in us, than he that is in the World therefore no matter what we face in our Political era or in democracy, we come out victorious in Jesus name...Amen God Bless Sapele.
