OUR CHOICE, OUR JUDGE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *OUR CHOICE, OUR JUDGE* *Continue to prosper* "*He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God*.  *John.3.18*  Jesus did not cone to condemn the world but that through Him whosoever that believes will not be condemn. The fact here remains that Jesus has no business condemning anyone but the condemnation already exist even before the arrival of Jesus so Jesus coming is to pull all of us out that already existing condemnation so you not believing is choosing to remain in that condemnation that is in existence. The condemnation is the consequence of the sins of our father(Adam) and Jesus being the second Adam came to destroy the consequences of the sin of the first Adam how did he do that by dying on the cross for us for the condemnat...

YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED* *Keep winning* *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Having clarified that the gift is for "whosoever" Jesus went further to make it clear that the gift was a channel that is to say that the gift was given for the salvation of all. What a great gift because it means that without this gift there will won't be anything like salvation. Jesus said "through" Him which means that the gift is a channel without which nothing can be achieved or obtained and without which nothing can proceed to the next level. This gift according to Jesus is a connector that connects divinity to humanity, it is the chanel through which divinity can have an intercourse with humanity It is a pull that heaven is using to pull people out of bondage to Him...

YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU TOO CAN BE SAVED* *Keep succeeding* *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Like we said the other time that the God that created you without your input will not save you without your cooperation because of that we want to take a look at why Jesus had o use the word "whosoever" because the choice of language matters in public speaking. If we take a critical look at the word "whosoever" we will see that the word "Whosoever" means "am open invitation" which anybody can answer from anywhere and in other words God did not give it to a particular people or persons but to all. That been said, it follows then that the word "Whosoever" does not have room for exception. No one is disqualified and no one can be disqualified acce...

HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT?

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT*? *For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved*.  *John.3.17*  Having told us that the gift of God is for "whosoever" it became necessary that it is explained so that nobody will accuse God of sending His son to the world so that the world would be condemned or sending His son to a particular set of people and not all peoples. In the words of Jesus, God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world but that through him the world might be saved so whosoever that chooses to be saved made the choice and whosoever that refuses to accept condemns himself and not God condemning the person.. I believe that Jesus chose to make this explanation so that nobody will say that the gift was for a particular race or tribe or people the gift is for all but...

LOVE SO CHEAP BUT SO PRECIOUS

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LOVE SO CHEAP BUT SO PRECIOUS* *Continue to enjoy showers of blessing* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  We have heard Jesus say to Mr Nicodemus that the love of God is for "whosoever* meaning that even if it is for everybody that there are still some people that will still reject the gift out of their own making and that anybody that makes up his or her mind to receive the gift no matter the colour, race or religion will be given the gift. In life every discission is a choice and even not making a choice is a choice also and whatever choice or choices that we are making in life has its own consequences, sometimes we are exposed to the consequence before the action or actions and sometimes too the consequences are hidden from us until after ...

HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT?

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HAVE YOU RECEIVED THE GIFT*? *Your rising will not know limitations* *GENTLE REMINDER tomorrow is Sunday please try to be in His presence as your present waits you* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  We have looked at how much God loved you and i and we have said that there is no condition that is attached to that love and that it is simply in the nature of God to love and that had it not be in the nature of God to love that there is no way man would have been able to merit or be qualified for that kind of love. We have been made to understand that the moment God finished showing man how much He loved him He went ahead to tell man what he must do to embrace this love. You and i know that until a gift is received that the intentio...

GOD LOVED US WITHOUT ASKING OF ANYTHING FROM US

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *GOD LOVED US WITHOUT ASKING OF ANYTHING FROM US* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  Jesus started this verse by telling Mr Nicodemus how much God loved you and i, He told him that "for God so loved the world" meaning that the love is so massive that God did not wait for man to love Him first or wait for what man will bring to the table before loving him, He told him that the love that God has for man is so unquantifiable. This kind of love is not such that man can pay for or reciprocate because it is so deep, from the dept of God's heart, it is not what man deserve and this love is so pronounced that no man can ever deny it for instance the kingdom of God that we are talking about is a place that God Himself has already prepared for man. No effort or cont...

LOVE SO EXPENSIVE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *LOVE SO EXPENSIVE* *For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life*.  *John.3.16*  Having told Mr Nicodemus and by extension you and i why God told us that we should to be born again Jesus then went ahead to tell Mr Nicodemus why God did what He did and He called it Love and this kind of love is not the kind of love that we profess where we love today and hate tomorrow where we love only when it is convenient or only when we have nothing to loose and all to gain. Wait a minute! Having told us that it takes to be born again to enter the kingdom of God why did God have to go all out again to give us not one of his sons but His one and only begotten son. What has giving us His son have to do with us gaining salvation? Wouldn't He have said you are all saved and it will be so? ...

BE BORN OF GOD

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *BE BORN OF GOD* *That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit*.  *John.3.6*  Having told Mr Nicodemus that he needed to be born again, Mr Nicodemus went ahead to asked Jesus why he needed to be born again and Jesus told him that there is a kingdom after now and that he belonged to that kingdom and that the owner of the kingdom is God and that God demands that we cannot enter the kingdom until we become his sons and daughters by been born again. Having said that, he went ahead to tell Mr Nicodemus that there are two types of births. The physical birth and the spiritual birth and what everybody has is the physical birth and nobody can enter the kingdom of God until he or she goes through second birth which is to be born again. The good news about the second birth is that it is from God Himself and the requirem...

YOU BELONG TO A KINGDOM

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU BELONG TO A KINGDOM* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Jesus told Mr Nicodemus that there is kingdom which he Mr Nicodemus belong to but that he cannot enter accept he be born again and for Jesus to tell him about that kingdom it means that Jesus wants him to claim what is rightly his but he needs to know how to enter it and to know about the kingdom. One thing is to belong to a place and another thing is to know the place and no matter how much you know about the place if you don't have the access code or the key to the door to the place you may not enter at the end of the day and for someone to come to tell tell you about the place it means that the person loves you and that the person knows what you don't know. Now Jesus did not just come to tell u...

THAT BURIAL WILL NOT HOLD

*LET US PRAY* *(PRAYER FOR THE WEEK)*. *THAT BURIAL WILL NOT HOLD*. *Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it*.  *Isa.28.18*  You deserve a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 you deserve a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 father you deserve a very big thank 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 a very big thank you 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 thank you my Lord.

WHY CHILDREN?

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *WHY CHILDREN?* *Your children are blessed* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Thank you Mr Innocent for that wonderful question which you asked about baptising children since Jesus said that "unless a man" and not children. Thank you for acting like Mr Nicodemus who was asking to know and not to argue unnecessarily. It is my pleasure to give you the answer to your question. First of all sir, I know that you will agree with me that what Jesus mentioned was men and not women so i put it to you that the bible most times use the word "men" to refer to the entire human race. The word men is for both men, women and children. It is only on few occasions that the bible told us that women and children were not mentioned. *And those who ate were ab...

PASSING THROUGH WATER IS A NECESSITY

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *PASSING THROUGH WATER IS A NECESSITY* *God is using you to show his goodness* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Having received His baptism from Uncle John, we saw how Jesus continued to baptise through His disciples to teach them what to do and after rising from the dead He officially commissioned them to go on baptising as many as possible that believed. *Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it*. *Col.2.15*  Having destroy the power of sin and death he then went ahead to commanded His disciples to go all the way to baptise people and they went all out to do what their master have tasked them to do making it as the Christian rite of initiation and has since become a seal that makes one a...

THE WITNESSES

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *THE WITNESSES* *You shall live and not die* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* We saw that immediately Jesus was baptised that something happened and that is 1 the heavens opened 2 the father spoke and 3 the spirit came and i asked bro John why this three occurrences and he told me that the three came to bear witness because for it to be authentic there must be a witness  *And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one*. *1John.5.8*  The three had to bear witness to show that by baptism that you have been adopted as a son or a daughter of God and not an abducted child of God. You needed to be adopted to make your sonship or daughter hood legal so that the devil will not bring any ch...

HE LIVED BY EXAMPLE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HE LIVED BY EXAMPLE* *You are more than a conqueror* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Jesus was called a Rabbi because he was a teacher and not just a teacher but one that came from God and so as a good teacher that He is, He taught both theoretical and practical by living it out and when He said that a man must be born again by water and Spirit he exemplified it by going through water Himself. It was not necessary that Jesus should go through baptism but He told Uncle John to leave it that way because it was necessary not for his sake but for the sake of those following Him, He did it so that it will serve as an example for us to know how important it to be baptised and He did it to show us that it was so important in the economy of salvation. Havi...

HE LIVED BY EXAMPLE

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HE LIVED BY EXAMPLE* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Remember that Jesus started telling Mr Nicodemus about baptism by saying "most assuredly" in order words he was saying was "most importantly" meaning that there is no alternative to it that is why when Uncle John the Baptist tried to stop Him from being baptized we saw how Jesus resisted it that even if He as a person does not need baptism but it as necessary to set an example. *For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps*: *1Per 2:21*. To show us how important it is to be baptized even God has to confirm it Himself by so many acts of His. There were three things that happened simultaneously to confirm that what Jesus d...

YOU NEED IT

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU NEED IT* You will not sink in life* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* You and i know that the best way to teach is by example because talk they say is cheap and Jesus been a Rabbi according to Mr Nicodemus did exactly that because Himself passed through water before he began His ministry to the point that even when John the Baptist protested he told him not to bother that he needed to do that to fulfill all and not some righteousness. *Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been bapti...

GOD OF VENGEANCE

*LET US PRAY* *GOD OF VENGEANCE* *In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote*.   *Dan 5:5*. What a mighty God we serve 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 what a mighty God we serve 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 heaven and earth adore Him, Angels bow before Him 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎶 what a mighty God we serve indeed what a mighty God we serve, the only creator that as never created to Him alone be all the glory both now and forever.  Beloved, I join my faith with yours to pray for you today that any hand of evil that has been unleashed against you since the beginning of this year and has refused to let you go such that you are always going round a circle, as we pray now every circle that you are that is depriving you from moving forward we set them on fire right now and may the God of vengeance visit them in ...

YOU NEED A NEW HEART

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *YOU NEED A NEW HEART* *Enjoy wholeness* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Having talked so much about water let us now for a moment take a look at the spirit and then proceed to look at other things in this chapter, Jesus said to you and i (Mr Nicodemus) that if we fail to be baptized with water and the Spirit that we will not enter the kingdom of God. If we don't enter the kingdom of God "wetin we gain" now having giving us the expo on how to enter it who shall we blame if at the end of the day we fail to eventually enter it? Is it our priest, preachers, ignorance or Mr devil as many of us has started doing already. Jesus has graciously given us the ticket to this kingdom of God and good enough we don't need to travel far to get it...

SAVED THROUGH WATER

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SAVED THROUGH WATER* *Continue to enjoy good health* *A GENTLE REMINDER* Tomorrow is Sunday please don't miss out* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* We cannot exhaust the importance of water or the place of water in the economy of salvation and you and i know that most times God uses something that is common and cheap to birth most of His plans and that is why many people either don't value God or give Him His rightful position in their lives and affairs. Today we are going to be looking at what God told us through the prophet Ezekiel on how He will use water to make us clean and adopt us as His children in order words somehow somewhere we have missed it and God who is the offended is still the one initiating the reconciliation move. Isn'...

SAVED THROUGH WATER

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SAVED THROUGH WATER* *It is your time to celebrate, enjoy* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Today i want us to take another look at water in the economy of salvation, the people of God were held in bondage in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years because of the errors of their fathers(the sins of their fathers) though they were supposed to be in exile for only four hundred years but the devil added to them extra thirty years until a day came and God rose to save his people. Permit me to state it here that the whole idea of been born again is the sole intention of God which is born out of his love for us to save us from sin and the consequences of sin, the bible made us o understand that all of us have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God and for th...

SAVED THROUGH WATER

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *SAVED THROUGH WATER* *Keep going higher, you are unstoppable* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Jesus was very specific here about water and the spirit so we are going to try our best to see why He choose to use water or why he said that it must be water. Let me start by saying that from creation that water has been playing a very significant role in the economy of salvation and we are going to see quite a few of them. When man fell out of grace immediately after creation we were made to understand that God regretted creating man and decided to end everything to have His rest but being a just God He could not deal with righteous what was meant for the disobedient ones so he decided to make a separation between the good and the bad by using water. He ...

HE DOES NOT NEED US BUT WE NEED HIM

*FAITH NUGGETS*  (*DAILY DEVOTIONAL*) *HE DOES NOT NEED US BUT WE NEED HIM* *Provision is overtaking your need* *Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God*. *John.3.5* Let me put on record here or let me start today by saying that God saying that we should be born again is not to his advantage but for our own good and that God saying that we should be born again is a desire of a loving father to welcome his estranged son into his blossom one more time. Again God wanting to be our father again after we have all gone astray is a privilege and not a right and that God does not own us anything but we own God everything to proof to us that God is interested in us being called his son Jesus taught us to always call God our father whenever we want to pray. *In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be ...
