Jesus is For Everybody

Post written by KOLAWOLE SAMUEL

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16

The text above is perhaps the most quoted Bible verse in the world. This over-familiarity has led to a subtle downplay of the beautiful message this verse conveys. It lets us know that God's love doesn't preclude anybody. In other words, God's love is not more predisposed to one race than the other. His love is not prejudicial; it's for the whole world.

He demonstrated his love for all of mankind by giving his son to die for the sins of the world! This shows us that Jesus' death is for everybody! It also presupposes to us that God wills that every man be saved. His desire for the unbeliever is that he or she receives the salvation which is freely given in Christ.

1 Timothy 2:3-4
"3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."

Having known this, that there are no ethnic or cultural barriers to the gospel; that the unbeliever's sins don't render him unfit for the gospel, we should be spurred the more to preach the gospel. We should carry the gospel on our lips in every place. We must let the unbeliever know that Jesus is for him or her. We must make every man know that Jesus has paid for the sins of the whole world. It must be our manner. It must be our culture.

Let us all go out today, declaring with a mighty voice, to every man that comes our way that Jesus is for everybody; that we all are the very ones whose sins he paid for!

AWESOME! GLORY TO GOD!
WE ARE REFINED UNTO ALL OF GOD'S GOODNESS!

It's a beautiful day, this is the day that the Lord has made, you should rejoice and be glad in it.
Good Morning and Thank God it's Friday. 😊

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
