Thoughts on the Gospel of John (26)

There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; for no- one can do these signs which you do unless God is with him. Jesus answered and said to him, Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3: 1 - 3.

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (26)
The miracles of the Lord Jesus attracted many people of His day to Him. Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, was one of them. He felt the need to discuss a certain matter directly with Jesus. Was he aware that this teacher had more to offer than all the scholars in Israel? Or did he lack something despite his high position and his duties?

Seeking and accepting Jesus Christ was against public opinion. Even today it puts one's reputation at stake. That is why Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. But he came, and that was decisive. He did not come as a clever debater, but as a pupil to a teacher.

Nicodemus' first statement was correct: Jesus Christ had come from God, and God was with Him. That was beyond doubt. Such an acknowledgement would flatter anyone's pride. For the Son of God, however, it only proved that Nicodemus knew neither the Lord nor himself.

The Jews believed that through their descent they were entitled to enter the kingdom of God. But the Lord Jesus made it clear that mankind needed a fundamental change to be able to comprehend the things of God: we must be born again.

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?
Open Heavens
for Tuesday, December 3, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT
Open Heavens
for Thursday, December 19, 2013
by Pastor E.A Adeboye

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More
BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY
Open Heavens

by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
