Not in Vain!

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58

Not in Vain!
This is encouragement we need as we press on to glory. This is the very last verse of the chapter that begins with a summary of the gospel Paul preached, which emphasized the resurrection of the Lord Jesus after His death and burial. Christianity was a new, different religion in the Roman world of that day. Its teaching about a Jewish Man (as the world would have regarded Him), whose claim to be the Son of God had been rejected by the leaders of His people; whom they had turned over to the Roman authorities to be crucified as a criminal; who had died and was buried, and then after three days had risen from the dead; and had been seen alive on various occasions by many still-living witnesses; and was alive in heaven and coming again to set up a kingdom which would never be overthrown—this would have been preposterous to the average person in those days, and hardly worth believing and committing oneself to!

Resurrection, impossible? No, a fact of vital importance, one that our eternal destiny hangs upon! In those early days of the Christian testimony, God emphasized that it came from Him, and was to be believed, by giving some of its proponents the ability to do miraculous things.

We have the entire Bible to tell us God's plan of salvation and life after salvation, and much more. God still does many miracles in answer to His people's prayers. We often do not give Him credit, but give it to men or to their devices.

Eugene P. Vedder, Jr.
I serve a risen Savior, He's in the world today;

I know that He is living, whatever men may say.

A. H. Ackley

FASTING IS NECESSARY
Open Heavens

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More
REWARD FOR LABOUR

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain. Down the line, God had to intervene to enable Jacob eat the fruit of his labour. For a reader of this devotional, in every area that you...More
HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
