A LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST

A glorious moment of Holy Spirit adoration was the atmosphere of the third Sunday in the year at The SCOAN’s Live Sunday Service. The ringing admonition for worshippers and viewers all over the world was to ensure a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ as a prerequisite to a triumphant Christian life. The Man of God, Prophet T.B. Joshua, vehemently stressed the need for Christians to be prayerful through reading the Word and meditating on it if their faith is to grow. The Man of God, who described the Bible as an uncommon book, said if read slowly, repeatedly and attentively, the Word of God becomes an integral part of one’s life.
“The more you think about what you read in the Bible, the more familiar you become with His voice. Beyond our bodies and minds are our souls. That is why the ministers of God must be concerned about the soul of man because if the soul is sick, the man is sick and only God can heal the soul,” he said, referring to Thessalonians 5:23 which says that man is a divine person possessed of a spirit, soul and body.

Ministering to thousands of worshippers who had gathered at The SCOAN in Lagos, Nigeria and viewers of Emmanuel TV, Prophet T.B. Joshua likened reading the Word of God to feeding the soul and the spirit. He said, “The more you think about what you read, the more the Word dominates your mouth. The more the Word dominates your mouth, the more it dominates your heart. The more the Word dominates your heart, the more it changes your conduct and behavior. The Word cannot dominate your mouth without you thinking about what you read. The Word that dominates your heart and mouth establishes, heals and delivers!”
Wise Man Daniel preached on the message: A LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, saying that redemption does not call for personal effort but a look of faith to the Cross where Jesus Christ conquered death and gave us victory. Citing John 5:1-14 as proof text, he said it is essential for Christians to trust in Christ’s suffering for their healing, deliverance, salvation and all of God’s blessings.

“Remember, in coming to Jesus Christ for help and healing, we should have an eye to Him as the promised Messiah, the trustee of mercy and grace. Trusting in Christ Jesus is not a mere intellectual acknowledgement, but adherence, commitment to, trust and faith in, and total dependence upon Him for everything,” he said.
