WHEN JESUS SAYS YES.

MINISTERING:-PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUKWU JONAH

But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. . . . So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.

2 Corinthians 3:14, 18 NLT

I want to encourage you to be consumed with the person of Jesus. God’s Word says that “you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Cor. 1:30 NIV).

Jesus Himself is your wisdom, your righteousness, and also your holiness!

The Greek word used here for “holiness” is hagiasmos, the same Greek word used for “sanctification.” Our holiness or sanctification is found in the person of Jesus.

So whenever you have an unclean thought, or a stirring in you, or a temptation to sin, stop for a while and look at Jesus. See the cross. See and experience His love, forgiveness, and grace for you afresh. Jesus is your victory over every temptation, addiction, and bondage!

Some people believe that all you have to do is say no to temptation. But you know what? Your willpower is no match for sin. The reality is, the more you try to say no by your own efforts, the worse it becomes.

The apostle Paul describes this very struggle, which he himself experienced: “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice” (Rom. 7:19).

So the answer is not to depend on your willpower to say no to temptation, but to depend on God’s grace and say yes to Jesus! In the midst of your struggle and temptation, say YES to Jesus. Say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my righteousness, my holiness, and my redemption.” Turn every temptation into an opportunity to look to and praise Jesus!

That’s what Paul did. Just look at what he says in Romans 7:24–25: “O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Paul’s answer for victory over sin is found in a person. His question was, “Who will deliver me?” It wasn’t, “Which commandment will deliver me?”

Your liberty from every sinful habit is found in the person of Jesus! Say yes to Him! He is your righteousness and holiness. Let Him come into the areas where you feel the weakest and allow His grace to transform you from the inside out.

My friend, it is so clear from today’s scripture that holiness is all about becoming more and more like Jesus and it comes about when the veil of the law is removed. When the veil is removed, we see our beautiful Savior face-to-face and His glorious grace transforms us from glory to glory. The gospel of glorious grace always produces glorious lives.

I pray that as you read more and more about God's grace, you will have a greater revelation of just how wonderful your Savior is, just how perfect His work on Calvary was, and just how deeply loved YOU are.

And as you behold Jesus, may you grow from glory to glory and shine as a testament to all of His goodness!

The Hand Of God

MINISTERING:-PASTOR SAMUEL OKECHUWKU JONAH

Eccl 9:1 Solomon says, “For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all, that the righteous & the wise & their works are in the hand of God...”

Intro

In this verse that I’ve chosen, Solomon (the wisest man that had ever lived) makes a profound statement. He says that he has taken time to think about this before he took time to write it down.

Solomon came to the conclusion that the hand of God was an important factor in the lives of some folks. He goes on to say that “the righteous, the wise & their works are in the hand of God.”

The Bible makes many references to the Hand of God”& what the hand of God is able to do. Let’s consider a few of those.

1. The Uniting Hand Of God

In 2 Chronicles 30, Hezekiah sends a letter to all of Israel & to Judah inviting them to come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem to observe the Passover. It had been years since the Passover had been kept & Hezekiah was desiring to get the nation back on track.

Runners were used to carry the invitation throughout the land inviting every tribe to come to this tremendous reinstatement of the Passover. Some folks laughed the runners out of their city & some agreed to come.

2 Chron 30:12,13 says, “The hand of God was on Judah to give them singleness of heart to obey the command of the king & the leaders at the word of the Lord. Now many people, a very great assembly, gathered at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month.”

The uniting hand of God brings people together for worship, service & fellowship who have previously been divided!

Ps 133:1 says, “How good & pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”

 Customize this sermon

The uniting hand of God creates a goodness & pleasantness among the people of God!

Acts 2:1 says, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.”

The uniting hand of God will produce an outpouring of the Holy Ghost upon all those who gather in His Name!

2. The Providing Hand Of God

In Neh 1 we read how Nehemiah is serving as a cupbearer to the King of Persia (modern day Iran). The Israelites are in exile there & a fellow-Israelite tells Nehemiah that the city of Jerusalem has been destroyed & it’s protective gates have been burned with fire.

Nehemiah asks for permission to go back home. The King agrees his request & asks if there is anything else that he needs.

Nehemiah says that he will need a letter from the King to give to other Kings asking for permission to pass through their land. And, he says that he will need some timbers to use for rebuilding the walls.

Neh 2:8 says, “And the King granted them (timbers) to me according to the good hand of my God upon me.”

The providing hand of God gives you what you need even when there’s devastation all around you!

Ps 23:1 says, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.”

The providing hand of God guarantees that you will not have anything lacking!

Phil 4:19 says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

The providing hand of God is connected to the riches that are be found in Jesus Christ!

3. The Empowering Hand Of God

Nehemiah gets permission to go back to Jerusalem & gets the timber that he needs to rebuild the walls. But, Nehemiah still needs other people to help with this project.

Nehemiah begins to tell other folks about what God has called him to do. He realizes that he can’t do this all by himself.

Neh 2:17,18 says, “Then I said to them, ‘You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste & its gates are burned with fire. Come & let us build the wall of Jerusalem that we may no longer be a reproach.’ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me & also the kings words that he had spoken to me. So they said, ‘Let us rise & build.’ Then they set their hands to this good work.”

The empowering hand of God will cause other people to join with you in order to accomplish what He wants done!

4. The Protecting Hand Of God

In Is 51, God is reminding Israel of His incredible love for them & that He has called them unto Himself. He tells them that they don’t have to be afraid of man & that He will give them victory over their enemies.
