There is a need for PERSONAL CONNECTIVITY, we have to personalize the experience, that’s the only way we get to benefit from the fruits of this historical event. It is not enough to remember what Christ did from a historical point of view or perspective, we must of necessity CONNECT PERSONALLY with what Christ did on the Cross.
So permit me to ask you the multi dollar spiritual question- Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour ? Don’t be quick to answer, it is a serious question am asking you. - Monk Reflections
THE CROSS✝️
Ask for God's Mercy today, throughout the day ask for Mercy, I have told you before that MERCY is more than just forgiveness of sins. Everything is in MERCY, grace, favour, protection, blessings, breakthroughs and deliverance are all in Mercy.
You must understand as you celebrate Good Friday in this contemporary society, that through the symbols, ceremonies and sacraments we are reminded of the salvific event that took place 2022 years ago.
Yester-night at the last supper, Jesus instructed that as often as we can, we should do this (last supper) in memory of him . In effect what Jesus was saying was that, don’t ever forget what I did for you on the Cross ➕.
Before I forget you don’t wanna miss the 🔥PRECIOUS BLOOD CONFERENCE RELOADED🔥 coming up God willingly in July, it will give you in-depth understanding about the CROSS plus the BLOOD and how you can activate the power in the BLOOD of CHRIST to work for you.
Moving on, the question pops up, why does Jesus want us to remember his bloody sacrifice?
Permit to first tackle this question from the historical perspective. First of all He wants you to know that God loves you and He wants you to see how far God will go to get you. This fact alone should help you deal with sin, low self-esteem, fear, intimidation, feelings of unworthiness, worthlessness, the devil, the feeling like you are a nobody, etc.
Please walk with your head high like you own the world, you are somebody ooh you must be somebody, look how much God paid to get you out of trouble. For God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son to come and die for you, that whoever believes in him should not die but have eternal life. (John 3:16).
God wants you to have this historical reference on your minds eye, especially when you are faced with contemporary problems or challenges. In effect am saying look at history, God had the power to take the sting out of death, and the victory over the grave what else can’t he do for you?
However, we don’t have to remain at the historical relevance of today’s SACRIFICE as we reminisce what Christ did for us 2022 years ago.
There is a need for PERSONAL CONNECTIVITY, we have to personalize the experience, that’s the only way we get to benefit from the fruits of this historical event. It is not enough to remember what Christ did from a historical point of view or perspective, we must of necessity CONNECT PERSONALLY with the experience of Christ. So I ask the multi dollar spiritual question- Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour ? Don’t be quick to answer, it is a serious question am asking you.
Paul teaches “ Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him .” This implies that we are buried with him by our baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we to will walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4).
The above therefore calls for a PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. This means that just like Christ carried the cross, you will also carry one. Anything which makes you cry out Abba Father, is your cross. Anything that brings you three steps backwards when you try to take two steps forward is your cross.
For some it’s the lack of job, for others it’s the lack of a partner, for some it’s the inability to put to birth, for others it’s the marriage they are in, for others its some form of sickness, for some it is some habit, some sin.., for others it is their children who are their crosses.., some people’s crosses are their parents, some have their husband and wives as their crosses- ….no one is spared, we all have our crosses
Today, I entreat you to unite your crosses with that of Jesus, connect with him, personalize your experiences with His, hand over your crosses to Him, let him carry all, for He says come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,.. Learn from me.., and you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28)
Hand over you cross to the Lord, you can’t do it by yourself. Hand it over and sit quietly and wait for your RESURRECTION Sunday, because there is a resurrection Sunday awaiting you, your passion, crucifixion and good Friday will pass. All shall pass.
It is well, and God is still on the throne, completely in control. Have faith.
Shalom and God bless you.
