Devotional Sermon #6: I AM NOT THE CHRIST - Typical Christian blogs

"Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, 'I am not the Christ.'" - John 1  Verse  19 (NIV)  John (the baptist) was a great man. The Bible says, "There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John" - John 1:6 (NIV).  Some people thought that John was the Christ. John could easily have claimed to be and many would have believed and treated him as such. But John had pure motives and chose not to reduce himself to that level. Instead, he confessed freely, "I am not the Christ." Some people openly claim to be the Christ. We have a problem; but the problem does not emanate from such people. Our problem emanates from people who by their words claim not to be the Christ, but their actions brazenly claim otherwise. With their actions, such people say, "I am the Christ and you've to treat me accordingly."

Devotional Sermon #5: THE POWER OF GOD'S GRACE - Women's daily online devotional

"From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another." - John 1  Verse  16 (NIV) It's all packaged in His grace.  Jesus is the One who brought us grace. We did not invite it; we actually did not know that there was something this good in store for us. Some people still don't want anything to do with this grace.  Yet it is from the fullness of this grace that we have all received one blessing after another!  It is important, however, to note that these blessings become evident in the natural as one focuses on God's will and walks in close fellowship with Him always.  Does your heart burn for the will of God? If you look at how you conduct yourself daily, do you find this in line or out of line with the will of God? It is vital to assess your life always, on the basis of God's Word. And remember, whatever you may say or do, never nullify the grace of God.   Click here for Christian books every Christian should
