MEDITATION.

HINDRANCES TO MANIFESTING HIS KINGDOM: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.

Text: “---- And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul ----.” Matt. 10:28.

We welcome you to the continuation of a new topic in the broad theme, “Kingdom Manifestation. The simple

understanding of what hindrances is all about has been well spelt out during last Sunday Sermon. Just to add a

little to that, (1) Hindrances can mean a stumbling blocks, that preventing someone from advancing or

progressing (2) It can be a cog or notch on the rim of a wheel.

“Fear” can be perceived as the feeling caused by the nearness of danger or the possibility of something bad that

is about happening. It means an unpleasant emotion caused by threat of danger, pain or harm.

Having a closer look, the word fear is in four stages.

1. There is Holy fear – This comes from the believers’ awareness of a living God. Jer. 32:40; Prov. 8:13.

2. There is slavish fear – This is felt by those who reject God. Acts 24:25. 3. There is fear of people – This may be due to respect of them. Rom. 13:7 or it may be blind dread.

Prov. 29:25. 4. There may be an object or unexpected danger – The unknown, such was the one Jesus called the

attention of His disciples to in Matt. 10:16ff. Jesus allayed the disciples’ fear of the impending suffering, tribulation and possibly untimely death as they were

going on a mission.

Jesus new from the unset of their mission what was lying ahead such that the Pharisees will deliver them to the

councils, they will flog them in their synagogues. They will drag them to the governors etc. In our world today

many are those who are in the mission fields that have met their untimely death. Many are in an unpleasant

emosion because of what may happened next that they don’t know or envisage.

We are facing so many challenges, dreadful occurrences, dangers here and there on daily basis. Such as fear of

been infected with Corona – Virus Pandemic, in the far North of Nigeria, the fear of Boko-haram threats. The

threats of bandits, the fear of insurgents, in the south, Kidnappers, Fulani Cattle rustlers and ritualists are the

order of the days.

Like in the time of the disciples, Jesus is wavering olive branch to us today to allay our fear. He is reminding us,

“have no fear of them ----.” Matt. 10:26a&28.

The same God that assured the Israelites that they should not fear while in the land of Egypt en route the land of

Canaan is still our God today. Exo. 14:13. Let your trust and hope of the unknown tomorrow be centered in

Him. Stop grumbling, stop complaining, be steadfast in your faith and be focused.

God who does lead Israelites forward against apparent impassable barriers, who opened doors previously shut

against His people is our God. Num. 14:9. Be reminded that “The fear of man lays a snear----.” Prov. 29:25. Be

sure that, “The fear of the Lord leads to life----.” Prov. 19:23. Hold on to the words of the Psalmist in Ps. 46:1-3

you will have no fear of the unknown.

Remain Safe and Saved.

Toss'd with rough winds, and faint with fear

1. Toss'd with rough winds, and faint with fear, Above the tempest, soft and clear,

What still small accents greet mine ear? ---

'Tis I; be not afraid.

2. 'Tis I, who washed thy spirit white; 'Tis I, who gave thy blind eyes sight;

'Tis I, thy Lord, thy life, thy light:

'Tis I; be not afraid

3. These raging winds, this surging sea,

Have spent their deadly force on Me:

They bear no breath of wrath to thee:

'Tis I; be not afraid.

4. This bitter cup, I drank it first;

To thee it is no draught accurst;

The hand that gives it thee is pierced:

' Tis I; be not afraid.

5. Mine eyes are watching by thy bed,

Mine arms are underneath thy head,

My blessing is around thee shed:

'Tis I, be not afraid.

6. When on the other side thy feet

Shall rest mid thousand welcomes sweet,

One well-known Voice thy heart shall greet,

'Tis I; be not afraid.

Begone unbelief

1. Begone unbelief,

My Savior is near,

And for my relief

Will surely appear:

By prayer let me wrestle,

And he will perform,

With Christ in the vessel,

I smile at the storm.

2. Tho' dark be my way,

Since he is my guide,

'Tis mine to obey,

'Tis his to provide:

To' cisterns be broken,

And creatures all fail,

The word he has spoken

Shall surely prevail.

3. His love in time past

Forbids me to think

He'll leave me at last

In trouble to sink'

Each sweet Ebenezer

I have in review

4. Determined to save,

He watched o'er my path

When Satan's blind slave,

I sported with death;

And can he have taught me

To trust in his name,

And thus far have brought me

To put me to shame?

5. Why should I complain

Of want or distress

Temptation or pain?

He told me no less;

The heirs of salvation,

I knew from his word,

Through much tribulation,

Must follow their Lord.

6. How bitter the cup,

No heart can conceive,

Which he drunk quite up,

That sinners might live!

His way was much rougher,

And darker than mine;

Did Jesus thus suffer,

And shall I repine?

7. Since all that I meet

Shall work for my good,

The bitter is sweet,

The medicine is food;

Though painful at present,

'Twill cease before long,

And then, oh how pleasant,

The conqueror's song!

BIBLE STUDY

TRINITY NINE

SUNDAY, 9TH AUGUST, 2020.

THEME: In The Name Of Jesus Christ

SUB-THEME: The Divinity of Christ (4)

TOPIC: His Ascension

TEXTS: John 3:13; Acts 1:1-11.

AIMS: i. To teach about the ascension of Jesus Christ,

ii. To confirm Jesus Christ as the only one who died,

resurrected and ascended into heaven

iii. To explain more on the purpose of His ascension.

Introduction: At the beginning of his treatise, Saint

Luke addressed Theophilus as 'most excellent'. Luke

1:3. Theophilus might have been a Roman official who

had already embraced the Christian faith or was even

simply a Christian middle-class Roman citizen who

gave Luke the opportunity to write a complete account

of Jesus and the early Church. However, Luke's

account was to prove to the Roman government

through this eminent Roman politician that the works

of Jesus Christ and those of His disciples were never a

subterfuge to the Roman Government. The record by

Saint Luke proves beyond any doubt the authenticity of

Jesus Christ's ascension into heaven. Moreover, other

Biblical passages have similarity narrated the purpose

of Christ's ascension into heaven.

Study Guide/Questions:

1. From biblical and life's experience mention

someone apart from Jesus Christ, who was dead,

buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven. John

3:13

2. Who is the only person who can ascend into the

heavens? Prov. 30:4; John 3:13; 6:33, 38, 62.

3. Why did Jesus Christ ascend to heaven?

Rom 8:34; Eph 4:8; Col 2:15; Heb 9:24-25.

4. From today's study, how important is Christ's

ascension to you? John 14:2- 3; 26-27; 16:7; Rom

8:24; 1Jn 2:1

Conclusion: Only the one who descended from heaven

can ascend into heaven. The ascension of Jesus Christ

forever remains one of the mysterious supernatural

event that signifies Him as the Lord of lords and King

of kings.

Food For Thought: Only He who descended to defeat

death is able to ascend to reign forever.

Memory Verse: John 3:13 "No one has scended to

heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is,

the Son of Man who is in heaven”.
