THE POWERFUL INTERVENTION OF JESUS CHRIST FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPOSSIBILITY

The King James version of the Holy Bible is filled with numerous powerful interventions of Jesus Christ for individuals facing impossible situations. From healing the sick to raising the dead, His miraculous interventions have left a profound impact on countless lives. In this article, we will explore some of these interventions and the enduring lessons they offer those encountering impossibilities. One of the most known interventions of Jesus Christ is the healing of the paralyzed man. In Mark 2:3-12, we read about how a group of friends brought the paralyzed man to Jesus Christ, but the crowd was so large that they found it somewhat difficult to get him close. Undeterred by the negative situation in which they found themselves, they made a hole in the roof and lowered the man down to Jesus. Upon seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, "Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" (Mark 2:11). Instantly, the man was healed and walked out of the h...

Did you know that LOVE is better than HATRED?

It may be easy to say "yes" to the above question especially by those practicing it but to others it may not. It is by far the best thing that has ever happened to mankind in general. The word LOVE brings people together. It connotes harmony and a peaceful coexistence. It promotes caring and sharing wherever it is found. It is in the dwellings of LOVE that TRUST is found. As Martin Luther King Jr. rightly equates LOVE with LIGHT, it brightens the countenance of those that cherish it. Now the question that we need to answer is DO WE CHERISH LOVE? If we value it as an exceptional phenomenon which must be accommodated, it will not be difficult for us to practice it. We must also remember that GOD is LOVE personified. If you love and cherish the God that created you, wickedness will be far from your thoughts. Whenever you discover that the thought to "deal drastically with the woman called your wife" if festering because she made a little mistake, then you must remember...

THE PREVAILING INTERCESSION OF JESUS CHRIST FOR SINNERS

When Jesus Christ was physically in this world, he made the remarkable aspect of His ministry to showcase His love, compassion, and desire for the salvation of mankind. In the book of Hebrews 7:25, it is written, "Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." The prevailing nature of Jesus' intercession for sinners must not be interpreted for weakness because the LORD GOD has reserved a day in which He shall judge the entire world in righteousness(Acts 17:31). His compassionate nature must be viewed as a privilege to make amends and jettison all wrong doings. The concept of intercession is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, where Moses as the servant of God interceded on behalf of the people before God. However, with the coming of Jesus Christ, His intercession has a unique and powerful significance since he is our great High Priest(Hebrews 4:14). In the book of Romans 8:34, it sta...

GLOW WITH GOD'S SUFFICIENCY

In our world today, there maybe times when it seems like we don't have enough strength, wisdom or resources to overcome the trials that we encounter along our way to heaven. At such times as Christians, it is expected that we do not forget that we are not alone. Even in our struggles, Jesus Christ has assured us that "he is with us always even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). The LORD himself assures us of God's sufficiency in all things, and as we lean on Him, we can glow with His sufficiency in every aspect of our lives. In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the apostle Paul writes, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." This powerful verse serves as an ointment of grace that greases the faith of all who remembers that even in times of weaknesses, God's grace is more than enough to sustain us. When we feel incapacitated or experience inadequate zest for the journey ahead, we can rest on the know...
