FOOLS FOR CHRIST

1st January, the day of Resolutions, Commitments, Planning and trying harder to start this, stop that, or attain something. Stop the nonsense, yea, you think life will be manageable if you just add a little effort. No way, that is legalism, living by your own resources, whatever the motivation, the consequences are the same: slavery, confusion and exhaustion. All you need is the Gospel. You need  to be reminded and hear Good News every day. We are bombarded from all sides with Bad News. At work we are told "TO DO MORE AND TRY HARDER". The adverts on the TV and radio tell us that we are not happy enough or sexy enough without whatever it is that they are selling. Nowhere else do we hear that we are COMPLETELY ACCEPTED, LOVED AND VALUED regardless of our performance. THE REALIZATION THAT YOUR DAILY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS BASED ON THE INFINITE MERIT OF CHRIST INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN PERFORMANCE IS A VERY FREEING AND JOYOUS EXPERIENCE! ! Embrace the Gospel, and 2014 will be a year

THE RELENTLESS LOVE OF GOD  SERMON BY PASTOR ALEXANDER CHAPOTA  (BRADFORD LIVING WATERS CHURCH) What a wonderful responsibility we have as God’s spokespersons. When we look at ourselves we can confess that we are very incompetent and inadequate for such a task, but God chooses weak and foolish things of the world to put to shame the world. (2 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5; 1:27.) Todays reading comes from the book of HOSEA chapter 3:1-5. through this story, I want to remind you of the immeasurable love of GOD. My aim is to help you understand your image before God in light of His love. When you fully understand how much Gods love is toward you, it will change your life, it will change your view of God and it will affect even your day to day life. The BIBLE contains two words from God, yes God speaks to us through the bible in two forms of speech. THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL. A proper distinction between these two words is very important to understanding the bible. Christianity is a

Acts 20:19a NKJV "serving the Lord with all humility," It is important to understand that God is not just concerned with the results in our ministry. Two can give toward the work of God, but with totally different reasons. Most often, people do their spiritual activities, not for the glory of God, but for their glory. How do you feel when you give someone a help and they don't say thank you? When you give a large amount of money and they don't mention your name? Paul was not just serving the Lord, but he was doing it with ALL humility. It is my prayer that you too will serve the Lord in a spirit of humility. God bless you all.

It is amazing every time I hear people preaching the gospel of grace, they always put buts and brakes. Because people don't really know how wicked and desperate they are, they would never be apologetic in their discourse about grace. I have been a christian for sometime now, adding to that I have been a preacher of the gospel for some years, but I strongly believe the grace of God is what has brought me this far. I mean grace plus my failures. The only thing I have contributed to be what I am I believe it is not my good, rather my bad. I am not happy to say that but it is the truth. If you are there because you have been faithful in your walk with God, I admire you. My boast is in His Grace alone. And for that I am forever grateful. God bless you all.
