BEFORE YOU LEAVE EARTH: THE PROSPECTUS YOU CANNOT IGNORE PART 2: WHO WROTE THE PROSPECTUS?

BEFORE YOU LEAVE EARTH: THE PROSPECTUS YOU CANNOT IGNORE PART 2: WHO WROTE THE PROSPECTUS? 2 TIMOTHY 3:16–17 (NLT) “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.” In Part 1, we began with a simple question: If schools and companies have prospectuses to prepare people for what lies ahead, what about eternity? We discovered that a prospectus is essentially a guide containing important information, requirements, expectations, and instructions for those entering a particular system. We then made the spiritual connection: The Bible is God's prospectus for our earthly journey and eternal destiny. We also looked at Hebrews 9:27, which reminds us that death is appointed and that after death comes judgment . So we ended with a serious question: Have you read the prospectus—and are you living by it? But today, we must take the next step. If the Bible is the prospectus for eternity... Who Wrote It? THE AUTHOR MATTERS...

BEFORE YOU LEAVE EARTH: THE PROSPECTUS YOU CANNOT IGNORE PART 1: THE REVELATION BEHIND THE PROSPECTUS

Image
BEFORE YOU LEAVE EARTH: THE PROSPECTUS YOU CANNOT IGNORE PART 1: THE REVELATION BEHIND THE PROSPECTUS Hebrews 9:27 (NLT) “And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment.” A young man gained admission into a senior high school in Ghana. The admission comes with excitement. A new chapter is about to begin. But before he settles into the school, he is told: “ Go for your prospectus .” The prospectus contains important information about the school—what the student needs, the rules to follow, the expectations, the requirements, and how to conduct himself while there. Why? Because admission is not the end of preparation. Admission is the beginning of preparation. And that thought brought me to a deeper question: If we prepare so carefully for a few years in school, what are we doing to prepare for eternity? That is where this message begins. WHAT IS A PROSPECTUS? Simply put, a prospectus is a guide that tells you what you need to know before entering or partici...

THE SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN LIVING PART 7: FINAL LAP- PUTTING ON THE CHRISTLIKE UNIFORM — THE CHARACTER THAT GRADUATES

THE SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN LIVING PART 7: FINAL LAP- PUTTING ON THE CHRISTLIKE UNIFORM — THE CHARACTER THAT GRADUATES Ephesians 4:32 (NLT) “Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” In Part 6, we learned that Christian growth is not only about adding good things to our lives. Sometimes, something must come off. Paul gave us a list in Ephesians 4:31: Bitterness. Rage. Anger. Harsh words. Slander. Every kind of evil behavior. We called these things the old uniform. We learned that you cannot continue wearing the old uniform while claiming to represent the new life in Christ. We also discovered the process: REMOVE. REPLACE. REBUILD Remove bitterness and replace it with forgiveness. Remove harsh words and replace them with grace. Remove rage and replace it with self-control. Remove slander and replace it with truthful and constructive speech. Remove evil behavior and replace it with Christlike conduct. The question we a...

THE SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN LIVING PART 6: REMOVING THE OLD UNIFORM — WHAT MUST LEAVE THE CLASSROOM?

Image
THE SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN LIVING PART 6: REMOVING THE OLD UNIFORM — WHAT MUST LEAVE THE CLASSROOM? Ephesians 4:31 (NLT) “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.” In Part 5, we entered one of the most important classrooms in the School of Christian Living: The classroom of Holy Spirit sensitivity. We learned that the Bible is our Textbook , the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, we are the students , and life is the classroom . The Holy Spirit does not merely give us power; He teaches us how to live. We learned that He: Corrects us. Convicts us. Guides us. Warns us. Reminds us. Directs us. But hearing the Teacher is not enough. We must move from: HEARING to DISCERNING to OBEYING to BECOMING . We also learned that the Holy Spirit can teach us in every environment—at home, at work, at school, in church, in business, in relationships, and even online. The major question from Part 5 was: “ Are you listening to the Teacher?” Today, howe...

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”?

Image
WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”? Luke 18:22 (NIV) When Jesus Christ heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing…” In Part 6, we encountered the rich young ruler—a man who was disciplined, moral, and sincere, yet walked away from Jesus Christ because of one thing he could not surrender. He was close to Jesus—but not surrendered to Him. Opening Thought 🌅 Sometimes, the greatest barrier between you and your next level in God is not many things—it is just one thing. Not obvious. Not loud. But deeply rooted. Key Phrase “ You still lack one thing …” Insight 🔍 This statement is both simple and profound. It means: You can be doing many things right… and still miss one thing. You can be progressing… and still be held back. You can be committed… and still be divided. The rich young ruler didn’t lack discipline. He lacked surrender in one area. And that one thing became everything. Deeper Application 🔥 Your “ one thing ” may not be money—but ...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS Exodus 4:2  “What is that in your hand?” Luke 16:10  “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” PERSONAL ENCOUNTER STORY Recently, I came across something that genuinely arrested my attention. I was scrolling through TikTok one evening when I saw a short clip about a small bird called the tailorbird. At first, I thought it was just another nature video—something interesting but ordinary. But as I kept watching, something unusual happened. This tiny bird was shown “ sewing ” leaves together to build its nest. At first, I doubted it. It looked almost staged. But curiosity pushed me further. I paused the video… watched it again… and then again. That moment didn’t just stay on TikTok—it followed me off the app. I found myself searching: “ Is this real? How does a bird sew leaves?” And that was the beginning of a deeper journey. The more I researched, the more I r...
