THE GREATEST HOPE

BRIEF SERMON ANALYSIS

*PSALMS 2:1-12*
*1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18*

Halleluyah!!!

We are enmeshed in a certain struggle for power and control. The devil having lost his rebellious bid woefully in heaven understands the love of God for man. Just as an evil person will try to get to someone he cannot bring down through someone he loves, the devil is trying to get to God through man. However, the devil will fail woefully, if only we learn to cooperate with God by following the path that will take us home safely. The example of which Jesus showed us by the path of the cross.

As the Psalmist as put it, the heathen rage, the people imagine a vain thing, the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD. These are a set of powerful and numerous people the devil succeeded in deceiving into his camp. Do not be surprised because if he could deceive a third of the stars in heaven, then manipulating humans should be easier. All these people are in different places of authority and around us. Unfortunately, we may also be included, if we fail to surrender our hearts to God.

Looking at how the devil has dominated in every place, what is then our hope? Our greatest hope is in Jesus Christ. For whatever pleasure we enjoy or persecution we suffer, we must always remember that the earth is a temporary place of abode for us. We must remain steadfast in our belief in Christ and on the path of salvation to reign with Christ forever. He has prepared for us a kingdom that we cannot afford to miss.

Death is about the most feared element in our world buoyed by the uncertainty surrounding what life after death entails, but Jesus has shown us death can be conquered and the beautiful life that awaits those who believe in Him. This is the reason all His messages were centred on the kingdom of God. He never offered us the best in this world, because the best here is always temporal, but has offered us abundant life.

For this reason, I make bold to state that the resurrection of Jesus is the most important christian celebration because it is at the heart of the Christian message.

- Without the resurrection, Jesus’ ministry ends in defeat and disillusionment (Luke 24:21). But everything changes with “He is not here! He has risen from the dead, just as he said” (Matthew 28:6). The resurrection culminates the passion narrative in all four Gospels because it is at the center of redemption itself.

- Paul bluntly stated that apart from the resurrection our faith and message are in vain (1 Corinthians 15:12-19). Thinking about how absolutely bleak and pointless any so-called “Christian” life would be without the resurrection should spur us to ponder it all the more.

- The resurrection amounts to the Father’s clear signal that Jesus is the powerful Son of God who has conquered death and reigns as Lord of all (Romans 1:4; 4:25).

- The resurrection demonstrates that Jesus’ “blood of the new covenant” saves His people from their sins.

- Without the resurrection, none of Jesus’ promises like the promise of the Holy Spirit (John 16:7), the preparation of an abode in Heaven (John 14:1-3) and His return, would be trustworthy. .

- Without the resurrection, there would be no apostolic foundation for the church (Matthew 16:18). Jesus’ resurrection turned scattered deserters back into faithful followers.

- Without the resurrection, there would be no model of sacrificial living. Jesus embodied and demonstrated the oxymoron of the crucified life, that a self-centered life is misery, and that genuinely abundant living occurs only when one dies to self-interest (Matthew 10:38-39; 16:24-28; 20:26-28; 23:12).

- Without the resurrection, the untold millions of injustices perpetrated by human beings throughout history would never be made right. There would be no ultimate reckoning for sin, and Satan would win the cosmic battle.

In conclusion,

The meaning of the cross is at best unclear without the resurrection. Any presentation of the good news of Jesus the Messiah must stress His resurrection as the essential explanation of His death and the proof of its saving power to eternally unite us with the Father.

Jesus is not a dead martyr to be pitied, but a living and reigning Lord to be loved and emulated, both in present suffering and in future reward.

The Resurrection of Christ is our greatest hope!

May our lives be filled with the power of His resurrection, in Jesus name. Amen.

Thanks for reading!

God bless you.

KEEP YOURSELF

ESTHER 2:1-2

After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus had calmed down, he remembered Vashti and what she had done, and what was decreed against her. And the king's servants who served him said, Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.

KEY VERSE

“And the king's servants who served him said, Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.” V.2

MESSAGE

Every one of us has been made for greatness but oftentimes due to spiritual insensitivity, many derail. God designed Esther to be the queen of one of the most powerful nations in the world, but do you know she could have lost the opportunity if she wasn’t a virgin? Never sell yourself for cheap, whoever would break the h***n should be someone who is worthy to be your husband.

Your body is a temple of God and not a tourist center where different guys seek to have fun. You are not a fun site but a wonderful and fearful creation of God for greatness. It is not just about being a virgin alone but being a person who is responsible and full of integrity.
Esther later saved her people from outright destruction because of the advantage of the position she occupied. If you also realize that the destiny of a lot of people is in your hands, then you will become more careful.

Even males are not exempted from this advice. Joseph would have marred his destiny and his father and brothers might have starved to death if he slept with Potiphar’s wife. You never know what a five minutes act of sexual immorality may cost you. Be warned and always remember you are made for greatness.

Prayer:

Gracious Father, help me live a life of integrity that I can accomplish the plan of greatness you have for me in Jesus name. Amen.

WORK IN PROGRESS

PHILIPPIANS 2:12-15

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings, so that you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation. Among these you shine as lights in the world.

KEY VERSE

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” V.13

MESSAGE

As Christians, we are a work in progress. God is always at work in us to build us towards an eternity of bliss in His Kingdom. However, God also expects us to give Him room to work in our lives. This therefore means that in our spiritual development, there is a part for us to play so that God can also play His part.

The text recommends that we sort out our own salvation with fear and trembling. It further went ahead to say that it is God that works in us to will and do according to His pleasure. So don’t condemn anyone but thank God for His grace upon your life because we are all work in progress. And for those who don’t know Christ at all, you don’t have to mock them but encourage them to understand they need to allow God build their lives also.

A little secret you should know is that the more you help others, the more you call God’s attention to work more on you. Those who use what God has given them to profit always get more. So be careful not to castigate anyone anymore. The world already have enough critics, we need encouragers because we are all God’s work in progress.

Prayer:

Almighty Father, continue your good work in me and perfect all that concerns me, in Jesus name. Amen.

GLORY OF HIS PRESENCE

EXODUS 40:34–38

And the cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of the congregation because the cloud stayed on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel journeyed on in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, in all their journeys.

KEY VERSE

“Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle” v. 34

MESSAGE

The glory of God usually signify His presence. Man sinned and fell short of the glory of God simply means that the presence of God left man and as such, he couldn’t shine as he should. In the text, the glory of God descended and it simply proved the presence of God in the congregation.

Many often pray for restored glory and assume their glory was stolen but this is a wrong theology. Our glory is like the star. In the universe, the sun is the major source of light, and there are several stars. Any star that aligns itself with the sun, receives a ray that makes it shine. The star has no light of its own but will only reflect that which it got from the sun, the master provider.

Whoever aligns himself with the will of God will acquire a ray of light that reflects to the world and help people out of darkness. The glory of God’s presence in our lives is what makes us shine. No one can take your glory but they only try to deceive you to move away from God’s presence, thereby losing the glory of His presence. We must know that the glory of the Lord is set for us; all we need is to align ourselves with the will of God, so that we will radiate His glory.

Prayer:

Glorious Father, help me remove every obstacle of sin that stops me from aligning with and radiating the glory of your presence, in Jesus name. Amen.

TEMPORARY WORLD

1 JOHN 2:15–17

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him, because all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides forever.

KEY VERSE

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, if any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him” v.15

MESSAGE

The scriptures command us not to love the world because the love of a particular person or a thing signifies the total commitment of all resources to satisfy that person or thing. The simple reason is that the world is temporary and we are eternal.

The love of the world and things of the world have taken over many. We forget that if Jesus was after the things of the world, He would have worshiped the devil and all the generation of men would have been doomed. As Christians, God is willing to save many souls from doom through us when we do the work of God but because things of the world have taken over our hearts, there is little or no time to fulfil the mission Christ sent us.

Do not allow the world and things of the world to be more important than God or His words in your heart. We should always remember that we would not be in the world forever, but the word of God endures forever, so we should love the Word not the world.

Prayer:

Eternal Father, grant me the grace to love your word and not the world, in Jesus name. Amen.

BEST SACRIFICE

JOHN 1:29-34

The next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is He of whom I said, After me comes a Man who has been before me, for He preceded me. And I did not know Him, but that He be revealed to Israel, therefore I have come baptizing with water. And John bore record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and He abode on Him. And I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, that One said to me, Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending, and remaining upon Him, He is the One who baptizes with the Holy Spirit. And I saw and bore record that this is the Son of God.

KEY VERSE

“The next day John sees Jesus coming to him and says, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” v.29

MESSAGE

Have you ever wondered how life would have been in the Mosaic times, when for every sin a person commits, he makes animal sacrifices? You can easily imagine that some people would purposely commit a sin believing that all they need do is to make sacrifices. Little did they know that God is not interested in their sacrifices, what He actually requires is a change of heart. In order to put an end to all the ceremonies, He offered His only son as a sacrificial lamb. Whoever will seek forgiveness from God will do so from the bottom of the heart by calling on the name of Jesus. Romans 10:9

Yet can we say people’s attitude towards repentance has changed? Don’t we still purposely run into sin with the belief we would offer a sacrifice by pleading for forgiveness? The great danger in this form of vain belief is that you never know when the trumpet of the Lord shall sound.

God has no delight in you bringing a sacrifice of forgiveness all the time, but require a complete change of heart. Make up your mind to always be upright from today. This is the best sacrifice you can offer to God

Prayer:

Gracious Father, save me and forgive all my sins and empower me to abstain from all forms of sins, in Jesus name. Amen.

“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.” Psalms 51:17
