¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-–
¹⁹ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

*THEME: _THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST_*

*MESSAGE*
Talking about the mystery of Christ does not refer to anything "mysterious" in the person of Christ nor the union of the divine and human nature in Him; nor is anything difficult of apprehension in the work of the atonement. It simply means the hitherto concealed doctrine that through Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Gentiles were to enjoy the same privileges as the Jews, and that the plan of salvation was to be made equally free for all.

This great truth had been concealed or partially understood for a long time, and Paul says that he was appointed to make it known to the world.

Have you the key into this revealed mystery by accepting Jesus Christ into your life as Saviour and Lord? He is the Only One that can give lasting insight and solution to your life's challenges.

Every bit of problem in life finds its final solution in the person and being of the Lord Jesus Himself. God has set His Son at the heart of all things. Therefore, the understanding of this great mystery is the key to the ultimate solutions for which men are seeking today. If we begin to understand what Christ is, who He is, what He does and how we can lay hold of Him, we will begin to see the solutions to these problems as they are, indeed, unfolding in many lives.

Solutions are coming into being as we grasp what Christ has made available to us. I know that sometimes we are so blinded by familiarity with these terms that we miss its impact. But I pray that God will open the eyes of your understanding, that you will see how fantastic this great mystery is and how important it is to understand it thoroughly, and to enter into it.

*HYMN: EMHB 503* _(C.M.)_
1. GOD moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

2. Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

3. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

4. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

5. His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

6. Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter
And He will make it plain.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
Ephesians3:6“That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel.”

*PRAYER:*
Heavenly Father, unfold the mystery of Your Word to me and help me to always act according to Your commands in Jesus' name.

*_TEXT: PSALM 66: 1 – 8_*
¹ Make a joyful shout to God, all the earth!
² Sing out the honor of His name; Make His praise glorious.
³ Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.
⁴ All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name." Selah
⁵ Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.
⁶ He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot. There we will rejoice in Him.
⁷ He rules by His power forever; His eyes observe the nations; Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah
⁸ Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,

*THEME: _THE AWESOME GOD 2_*

*MESSAGE*
This an anonymous psalm of praise is, on the whole, divided into three parts: (i) verses 1-7 seems to be a personal thanksgiving after an experience of distress (ii) A national song of praise (verses 8-15) after a national deliverance from a war or problem while (iii) 16-20 is a personal invitation to rejoice with the person in (i) above. Whatever it is, God deserves our praises every time.

The writer of this Psalm looked back at the awesome power of God that manifested terror on the Egyptians and mercy and kindness on the Israelites. He noted that mere praises wouldn't be enough for God's awesome power that delivered them.

Furthermore, Israel felt that her praise of God could not possibly be sufficient to extol such a great deliverance, therefore the whole world is invited to join in the Praise. “All the earth shall worship you” Psa. 66:4. We see part of the fulfillment of this prophecy during the Covid-19 crises. We noticed some world powers openly crying to the God in heaven for mercy when their money, technology, scientists, astrologers and all their learning, researches, education and inventions could not deliver them from the pandemic that ravaged the world, where thousands died helplessly. Some threw their idols into the river because they could not guarantee salvation any more. Their expensive cars were parked in garages, likewise their private Jets, their big companies and businesses and shopping malls shut down and their streets deserted.

“He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot” (Psa. 66:6). He parted the sea on two occasions for the Israelites. What are those 'seas' staring at you presently? They must part by His awesome power in Jesus name. The Lord will grant you such deliverance and salvation that you will not need to lift a finger in the fight for all your battles are already His (Exodus 14:14).

*HYMN: EMHB 333* _(C.M.)_
1. Come let us, who in Christ believe,
Our common Saviour praise,
To Him with joyful voices give
The glory of His grace.

2. He now stands knocking at thedoor
Of every sinner's heart;
The worst need keep Him out nomore,
Or force Him to depart.

3. Through grace we hearken to Thy voice,
Yield to be saved from sin;
In sure and certain hope rejoice,
That Thou wilt enter in.

4. Come quickly in, Thou heavenly Guest,
Nor ever hence remove;
But sup with us, and let the feast
Be everlasting love. Amen.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
Psalm 66:5 “Come and see what God has done, how awesome His works in man's behalf.”

*PRAYER:*
Lord, let the whole world around me see Your power through me. Deliver me from shackles and frustrations today and give me undeniable proofs to shout Your praises daily, in Jesus' name. Amen

*_TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 5:23 – 33_*
²³ "So it was, when you heard the voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.
²⁴ And you said: 'Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.
²⁵ Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God anymore, then we shall die.
²⁶ For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
²⁷ You go near and hear all that the Lord our God may say, and tell us all that the Lord our God says to you, and we will hear and do it.'
²⁸ Then the Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me: 'I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They are right in all that they have spoken.
²⁹ Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
³⁰ Go and say to them, "Return to your tents."
³¹ But as for you, stand here by Me, and I will speak to you all the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which you shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I am giving them to possess.'
³² Therefore you shall be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
³³ You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.

*THEME: _THE AWESOME GOD 1_*

*MESSAGE*
The leaders of Israel who went with Moses to Mount Sinai could no longer withstand what they experienced. When the awesomeness of God manifested, their unworthy natures were exposed and they started begging Moses to allow them to leave.

The Bible in Hebrews 12:29 tells us that our God is a consuming fire. If God be our father and our father is a consuming fire, it then means in our DNA, we are carriers of same gene with our father which is Fire and so there is no need hiding when He manifests Himself as Fire, if we remain His sons and daughters. Isaiah 59: 1 makes us understand that the hand of God is not short to deliver, nor His ear deaf to hear, but sin has brought a separation between us and God. Sin can extinguish the fire faster than we can think. Beware of sin, Beloved Brother/Sister.

No child in right relationship with his father will quake or hide at hearing or perceiving his father's voice. Moses had a cordial relationship with God; he remained and was refined by the fire of His presence, which he needed veil thereafter to enable the Israelites see his face, but the rest fled because of their unworthiness (2Cor. 12-14).

Peter and others experienced same with Jesus at the mount of transfiguration, when the awesomeness of Christ was revealed. Peter requested never to go back again to the world (Mark 9:2-6). Similarly, His awesome presence is assured when we live right. He loves and desires our fellowship and presence more than our money and gifts.

Have you ever heard from God as a child of God? When last did God speak to you? Discover quickly those barriers and deal with them before the wrath of His presence consumes you.

*HYMN: EMHB 343* _(L.M.)_
1 "Wherewith, O God, shall I draw near,
And bow myself before Thy face?
How in Thy purer eyes appear?
What shall I bring to gain Thy grace?

2. Whoe'er to Thee themselves approve
Must take the path Thy Word hath, showed,
Justice pursue, and mercy love,
And humbly walk by faith with God.

3. But though my life henceforth be Thine,
Present for past can ne'er atone;
Though I to Thee the whole resign,
I only give Thee back Thine own.

4. What have I then wherein to trust?
I nothing have, I nothing am;
Excluded is my every boast,
My glory swallowed up in shame.

5. Guilty I stand before Thy face,
On me I feel Thy wrath abide;
'Tis just the sentence should takeplace;
"Tis just—but O Thy Son hath died!

6. Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled,
He bore our sins upon the tree;
Beneath our curse He bowed His head;
'Tis finished! He hath died for me!

7. See where before the throne He stands,
And pours the all-prevailing prayer,
Points to His side, and lifts His hands,
And shows that I am graven there.

8. He ever lives for me to pray;
He prays that I with Him may reign:
Amen to what my Lord doth say!
Jesus, Thou canst not pray in vain.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
Deuteronomy 5:24“And you said: Surely the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet He still lives.”

*PRAYER:*
Lord, in Your mercy, remove that which punctures my relationship with You. Show me Your glory and make my life a radiance of Your glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

DAILY REFLECTION FOR

_MONDAY JULY 19, 2021_

*_TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 4:6-9_*
⁶ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
⁷ and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
⁸ Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things.
⁹ The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

*THEME: _DO AS TAUGHT_*

*MESSAGE*
Apostle Paul advises Christians to focus on things that please God and express His character (4:8-9). He then adds: “whatever you have learned from me ... put it into practice,” (4:9). It is worth remembering that before the New Testament books were written and accepted, the only standard for Christian teaching and behaviour was to be found in people who accurately reflected the authority and ethical standards of our Lord.

As believers, prayer is essential to us to do as we were taught from the Holy Scriptures with the following reasons:

• Through prayers we renew our trust in the Lord's faithfulness by casting all our anxieties and problems on Him who cares for us (Matt. 6:25-34;1 Pet. 5:7).
• The peace of God comes to guard our hearts and minds as a result of our communion with Christ Jesus (vs. 6-7).
• We receive mercy, grace and help in time of need (Heb. 4:16).
• We are assured that in all things God works for our good (Vs 11; Rom. 8:2).

To experience God's peace and freedom from anxiety, believers must fix their minds on those things that are true, noble, right, pure, etc. if we do these things, says Apostle Paul, “the God of peace shall be with you” (Vs 9). The consequence of fixing our minds on unholy things of the world is that the joy of God's nearness and peace are lost and our hearts are no longer guarded.

Beloved in the Lord, for us to enjoy the presence of God and his blessings always, we need to abide in Him, because without Him, we can do nothing. May the Lord grant us the grace to follow Him in all circumstances, in Jesus' name. Amen.

*HYMN: EMHB 557* _(CM)_
1. WHAT is our calling's glorious hope
But inward holiness?
For this to Jesus I look up,
I calmly wait for this.

2. I wait, till He shall touch me clean,
Shall life and power impart,
Give me the faith that casts out sin
And purifies the heart.

3. This is the dear redeeming grace,
For every sinner free;
Surely it shall on me take place,
The chief of sinners, me.

4. From all iniquity, from all,
He shall my soul redeem;
In Jesus I believe, and shall
Believe myself to Him.

5. When Jesus makes my heart His home,
My sin shall all depart;
And lo, He saith: I quickly come,
To fill and rule thy heart.

6. Be it according to Thy word
Redeem me from all sin;
My heart would now receive Thee, Lord,
Come in, my Lord, come in!Amen.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
Philippians 4:9- “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

*PRAYER:*
Eternal Father, give me the grace to be the doer of Your Word not the hearer only, in Jesus' name. Amen.

*_TEXT: MARK 12:28-34_*
²⁸ Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, "Which is the first commandment of all?"
²⁹ Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
³⁰ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.
³¹ And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
³² So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He.
³³ And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."
³⁴ Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." But after that no one dared question Him.

*THEME: _LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOURS_*

*MESSAGE*
Following our meditation yesterday, to be practical with your love, you don't need to travel far and wide before you become real with your love. The subject of neighbourliness was well emphasized by Christ in His ministry on earth. Many a time you might be tempted to be looking for who to express your acts of love to.

You may assume that there is no one around you that is in need. But today you need to look inward into your neighbourhood. Jesus gave us a definition of who your neighbour is in his popular parable of the good Samaritan, who helped a wounded Jew, a stranger for that matter (Luke 10:30-37).

Your neighbour is not limited to where you live. It might be in your office environment; it might be on the road; it might be at a meeting; it might be anywhere. There is a person around you that needs help, encouragement or support in any way. You are expected to meet these needs as much as God grants you the enablement to do so.

It is then important for you to define what it means to be in need. To be in need may not be that you need money or that you are poor. The need of a man goes beyond physical or material things. You may need to ask the Lord how you can be of help to the people around you and He will guide you into loving your neighbour.

As you go out this Monday and this week, be on the look-out for a neighbour to help as an act of love. You may be led to ask somebody today, how you can be of help and you may be surprised how God can use you in this regard.

*HYMN: EMHB 442* _(C.M.)_
1. HAPPY the heart where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train,
And perfects all the rest.

2. Knowledge, alas, 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.

3. 'Tis love that makes our cheerfulfeet
In swift obedience move:
The devils know, and tremble too;
But Satan cannot love.

4. This is the grace that lives and sings,
When faith and hope shall cease;
"Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet realm of bliss.

5. Before we quite forsake our clay,
Or leave this dark abode,
The wings of love bear us away
To see our gracious God.

_MEMORY VERSE:_
Mark 12:33b "…And to love one's neighbour as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."

*PRAYER:*
Lord Jesus, don't allow me to miss any opportunity to be of help to somebody that needs it around me or on my path today. Amen.

rather than as obstacles or issues
to be overcome. We trust the silence of prayer rather than the words of
argument. We choose love and
forgiveness rather than anger and
retribution. We relate with intimacy
and vulnerability rather than
superficiality and defensiveness. We
listen for God’s voice rather than our
own. Ultimately, we seek life rather
than death.

“I am the bread of life,” Jesus tells the
people. “Whoever comes to me will
never be hungry, and whoever
believes in me will never be thirsty.”
He is offering the people himself. He is the imperishable bread that nourishes and sustains imperishable life.
Conclusively brethren, the question what do you hungry for is a vital one for us to answer as Christians.
Do you hunger for the bread that spoilt and perishable or Jesus bread that satisfies both the body and the soul till eternity.

Worthy is the lamb! Hallelujah!!!
