GRACE FOR ALL!
Text: {Rom 4:16}
“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end of the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all”.
Don’t be surprised that the grace of God is for all. Whoever you are, wherever you have been, irrespective of your colour, age, gender or background, the grace of God is extended to you. And you can enjoy the grace of the Almighty.
It is by this Grace that we are saved through faith, and not of ourselves, it’s a Prescious gift of God to mankind. Paraphrasing (Eph 2:8). All you need to do is to believe and receive, remember, He said as many as received Him, He have them the power to become the son’s of God.
Do you believe Him? And have you received Him into your heart? The love of God towards you is immeasurable. He loves you so much, ever before you knew yourself.
Let Somebody know about Titus testimony, that the Grace of God has appeared unto all men, and it brought Salvation unto all men. (Titus 2:11).
Let them know that they too can become children of God. The grace of God is available for them, but they can only access it through faith. By believing and receiving Jesus into their hearts today, and begin to enjoy all that God has for them.
THANK YOU LORD!

THE WORD!
Text: {Matt 24:35}
KJV.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
Not a jot of the Word of Most High will pass away without being fulfilled. Not a jot. He diligently watch over His words to make sure they come to pass. He said the Word that I speak unto you are spirit and life.
However, you must know what He has said in His Word concerning you, and put it to work, until it comes to pass. But if you don’t know what His Word says how then will you put to work what you are not conversant with. The Word of God is God Himself. And only what can withstand God will be able to withstand His Word. His Word is sharper than any two edged sword, His Word cut through bones and marrows.
“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
(Heb 4:12)
Locate the Word for that situation and believe it. Any word you found in the Word of God concerning you is the Word for you for that moment. If the Almighty God sent His Word in the book of (Psa 107:20), and things began to happen and shifting. It’s time for you to send your word too. The Word you have found and believed, begin to send it forth, begin to speak it and begin to call those things that were not as though they were. Paraphrasing (Rom 4:17b)
Let Somebody know that when God / The Word speaks, everything hears. But it’s imperative for you to know this; before anything/anyone can hear the Word through you, you must first hear God. He’s standing at the door of your heart RIGTH NOW.
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
(Rev 3:20)
Will you let Him inn? Will you do it today? It’s just that tomorrow might be too late! Ask the Word who is called Jesus the only begotten son of the living God, to come into your heart today. And you’ll have the fellowshipping of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
THANK YOU LORD

TRUST IN HIM…ACKNOWLEDGE HIM…
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
{Prov 3:5-6} KJV
Allow Obedience to take you to a City called Meekness, it would lead you to the Neighbourhood of Enquiring of the Lord.
Which way Lord? What are You saying Father? Is this you Jesus? Whenever we ask God genuinely, and are patient enough to actually hear Him concerning that matter, that is a place of Rest.
Don’t Enquire of the Lord with answers already in your head, God is NOT Mocked. If you have what it takes to Trust Him with the whole of your heart, to the points of asking and Enquiring of Him concerning any issues of your life,
He’s a Faithful God and He has what it takes to Guide and Direct you in the Right Path. He’s A good God.

THE SOLACE OF EASTER
Calvary Greetings and a warm welcome! This month, I would like to share some thoughts about Easter.
Easter, like Christmas is very important. Yet, they are drastically different. 1 Corinthians 15 talks about how pivotal the resurrection is to the Christian faith.
Christ’s death and resurrection should not be an abstract thought. It should be a vital truth within our hearts. Jesus being born by a virgin is quite the miracle, but it did not erase our sins. His incarnation does not make us holy before God, but His death and resurrection certainly does.
Romans 8:11 says just that: “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodied through His spirit who dwells in you.”
We should speak of Easter more often. This definitely plays into my point, which is worth noting. The resurrection should not just be celebrated and remembered once a year. It must be forever upon our hearts. Jesus knew that with time and familiarity we can lose sight of the significance and full meaning of what He did for us on the cross. That’s one reason He asked us to regularly refocus by sharing in the Lord’s Supper together. The Lord’s Supper (also know as Communion) reminds us of all that Jesus did for us. Taking time to thank Him and taking some time to examine the current state of our relationship can have a powerful impact upon our walk with God. This also merges with Lent.
Lent is the Christian season preceding Easter. The love of Easter is the time to celebrate the ultimate triumph of life over death. The purpose of lent is the preparation of the believer through prayers, penance, repentance of sins and atonement, moderation and spiritual discipline.
Penance (fasting) is a doctrine of Christian spirituality which has a constituent of repentance, of turning away from sin and going back to God. Without which, we are unlikely to remain on the narrow path and be saved.
As Christians and true Celestians, we should imbibe this way of Life, all year round. We should also show love to others through alms giving. The kindness of the church can be a huge comfort to us.
Essentially, the heart of the Christian message is a bedrock to a good society. It’s the principle around which the Easter celebration is built. Easter is all about remembering the importance of change, responsibility, and doing the right thing for the good of our children and community. A sense of compassion is the centre piece of a good community; and today, that message matters more than ever. The the key point to note here, is this: the values of Easter and the Christian religion – compassion, forgiveness, kindness, hard work and responsibility – are values that we can all celebrate and share. Happy Easter!
Prophet John Martins
