The Way Of Christian Life, Busia (2026)

*THE MISSIONS DEVOTIONAL Friday, 25th September 2026*

THE WAY OF CHRISTIAN LIFE.

Ev. Elisha Abiud

John 14:6
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

There is a law in theology called the *LAW OF FIRST MENTION*
This law states, in part that the first item mentioned in a list carries priority and utmost importance.

In our theme scripture today, Jesus mentions the three primary things that he is; the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. In everything we get acquainted with in Spiritual life, these three are the sure foundation. If someone cannot comprehend these, they are still far from receiving Christ, and the eventual salvation.

My interest today, however, is about Jesus as the Way.

Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25 tell us that there is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end, it is the way of death/destruction.

God is interested in how we get to the destination. It is not just about getting there, it is how we get there. Part of our role is to redirect men to Jesus, because until one finds him, they are leading the path of destruction.

To me, on this list of 3 things that Jesus is, the *WAY* precedes all because one will definitely be sure of their destination, no matter how rough the journey becomes.

Let us get back to the right way. God asked his people to stand at the cross roads and ask for the *ancient paths.* Jeremiah 6:16
Why? Because it matters so much how you travel.

Lord, grant me the grace to know the right path I must take, because I know you are the path to life. The Way to My Christian life is Jesus, and I will hold on to him. In Jesus' name.
Amen

So, what does Jesus’ resurrection mean to you and I?

The apostle Paul, who had also initially been a skeptic of Jesus’ resurrection, explains its impact on our lives.

“For Christ has completely abolished death, and has now, through the Gospel, opened to us men the shining possibilities of the life that is eternal.” —2 Timothy 1:10, Phillips

In other words, Jesus’ death and resurrection opened the door for us to have eternal life with Christ. But, there is an obstacle preventing us from going to heaven. The apostle Paul explains.

“You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions…” —Colossians 1:21, NLT

The obstacle to us having eternal life with Christ is that we have sinned and rebelled against a holy God. Although God loves us beyond our understanding, his perfect justice requires payment for our sins. The penalty is death.

Many wonder why an all-powerful, loving God can’t just forgive us without punishing us for our sins. Why does he demand justice?

Imagine entering a courtroom and you are guilty of murder. As you approach the bench, you realize that the judge is your father. Knowing that he loves you, you immediately begin to plead, “Dad, just let me go!”

With tears in his eyes he responds, “I love you, son, but I’m a judge. I can’t simply let you go.”

Presenting the evidence against you, he bangs the gavel down and declares you guilty. Justice cannot be compromised, at least not by a judge. But because he loves you, he steps down from the bench, takes off the robe, and offers to pay the penalty for you. And in fact, he takes your place in the electric chair.

This is the picture painted by the New Testament. God stepped down into human history, in the person of Jesus Christ, and was crucified on the cross for us. Jesus is not a third-party whipping boy being punished for our sins, but rather he is God himself. Stated more bluntly, God had two choices: to punish us for our sin, or to receive the punishment himself. In Christ, he decided to pay the penalty for us.

In other words, God’s perfect justice is completely satisfied by the death of his Son, Jesus Christ. All of our sins—no matter how bad they are or have been—are completely paid for by the blood of Christ.

Throughout this week, the Spirit of the Lord has been whispering something to me. I was, however, slothful to get it, and today during church service, He showed it to me practically.

God has been talking to me about the importance of having my body systems align with his word and obey his time. Our bodies operate on feelings. You will ask for food because your body feels hungry. It will communicate the feelings to your brain and then you'll figure out how to get food for it. Your body will feel tired, exhausted or even painful. It will communicate to your brain the same and the brain will find a solution to the challenge. Similarly, when you say you want to go to the washroom for a long/short call, it is because your body has felt something that does not have to be in there and has to be excreted immediately. Your brain has been created as a powerful tool to work for you. You know we have the mind of Christ, right? 1 Cor 2:16, 1 Pet 4:12.
We will discuss the brain topic in relation to the mind of Christ next time.

So your brain will find possibilities of getting a washroom so you can ease yourself.
But check this out;
Do you know that the reasons we keep moving out of service in church entail running to the washroom, picking a phone call and/or “just relaxing yourself” then come back in after a while?.
Did you also know that every movement you make out of service distracts the move of God during service time, first for yourself, then to your fellow congregants? This is not because the spirit of the Lord can be distracted -Because no one can instruct God 1Cor 2:16, and He is all-powerful-
But it is because you detour yourself and your neighbours from concentration. This is the trick of the devil for you not to get the word in its full entirety because he knows what you will become and what he will be turned to when the word diffuses into you.

Over time, I have learnt that I can train my body and brain to be dormant to feelings, and get them surrendered to the word and time for communion with God. I have learnt that my bladder may be full. The body may have tried to send signals to the brain so that I can ‘excuse’ myself for a minute, bit because they have been rendered powerless by the presence and the word of God, they cannot move me. I will sit in a service from the inception of it to the end without moving out.
That's me. Once I set my foot in the presence whether in the sanctuary of corporate worship, or during my own communion with God, I will not move out till the session is done. My systems know that it is time for God.

You can train yourself to tarry in that place for the time you have to be there without being destructed. Your body was made by God. It MUST be subject to God.
That is what the Lord was reminding me today. That I can tarry in a church service from the start to the end without having to pop out to relax or run to the washroom.

How does is start? Learn to pray in the Spirit, and to speak in tongues. It will help you hear God's voice over your body's.

You don't know how you can hear God's voice?

What do you do when your hen lays eggs and then eats them? Where I grew up from, we would burn it's beak to make it short so it doesn't eat the eggs anymore.
But also, veterinarians will tell you that that hen is suffering from some deficiency - probably calcium - and will ask you to find foods or medications that would treat that situation.

What do you do to a cow that that has milk but doesn't want you to milk it? Well those of you that rared cattle would understand whatever you'd do to get the milk out of it.

But why this struggle? It's because the chicken doesn't produce the eggs for itself neither does the cow produce the milk so it can take it. No. They do it for others to benefit. And surprisingly, they will never sturve to death because they did not eat their own eggs or drink their own milk. They are always fully taken care of by the owner.

What's the lesson here for a Christian Character?
If you are blessed with any gift - be it singing, preaching, teaching, healing, making wealth, etc-, it is not for you. You produce for others. And you can never be dry because you did not hold back your ministry because the pastor didn't pay you. For Jesus to confirm that Simon Peter loved him, he asked that he "feeds his lambs" when Jesus was gone. John 21:15.
So you see, Peter was not appointed Apostle for his own benefit, no, but for the saints. When time came and Peter refused to "Kill and eat" just because he thought he wasn't called to preach to the Gentiles, (Ats 10:9-16), God called a Gentile to minister to all (Paul) and we see Paul saying in Gal 3:28 and Col 3:11 that there is no difference between Greek and Gentile, Circumcised or uncircumcised, slave or free........ Something that Peter, a person who was left in charge of the church of Christ failed to recognise.

If we keep our gifting to ourselves, we would get "de-beaked". Scripture is given for the profit of all and perfecting of the saints in Love, for Christ. And it's you that enjoys the knowledge of the scriptures that should help in perfecting fellow saints.

God bless you.

So what's that weighing you down? Is it spiritual or physical? Whatever it is, remember there is a time you were like this boy in the picture, where you heard and saw hard times, but you still played and laughed anyway. Why? Because you had parents, and you had full trust that they will still provide. You did not allow the situation around deter you from believing that you will still eat, be treated and taken to school.
But the more we grow and think we are more knowledgeable, we start drifting from the course of faith. Scripture warns us that the more the sons of men increased in knowledge, evil also increased. And do you know faithlessness is sin in it's own? If you'd stay this happy, trusting in your parents and never at a time got disappointed in them, even when they often failed to meet up with the expectations sometimes, how much more should you trust and believe God who is the author of our lives? How much more should you believe God who owns all the silver and the gold? Why not stay happy, knowing that He has your back?
He created the eons and He commands time. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He is always working, even when we choose to turn our eyes away from what He's doing.
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE.

'spossible.

That joy and happiness we possessed even when our eyes couldn't see what's in the next minute. The hope we had even when we had nothing to see and hold on. Nothing ever moved us. We had big dreams, which in most cases, we were not ale to explain. Our parents told us we will be what we dream, but they, deep inside knew that they didn't have the capacity to grant that wish. But here we are today with at least a minimal hope to hold on. We have come to learn that we have lived an indifite and unexplainable life before, but we still made it. Sometimes, we think it's because we worked harder. Sometimes, that maybe we had a friend or ralative somewhere. But then we come to know that there are those that have trusted in the hand of man, and been put to shame. Remember that *he who trusts in man is accursed* we are now able to tell that if God were not for us, our advaseries would have taken us alive. God coined us in hope and Grace. He gave us beauty where it was meant for ashes. What the enemy meant for evil, God turned it around for our good. We can never take our eyes away from Him. We have been in this together with Him, and he will guide till the day is done.
IT IS ONLY THROUGH JESUS THAT WE CAN DO ALL THINGS BECAUSE HE GIVES US THE DTRENGHT TO.
Praise the Lord
