How is Business?

How is Business?

Luke 2:49

And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s Business?

A Preacher was quoting a motivational speaker and he said that there are two questions that need to be asked to know how successful a business man is, and I will repeat the exact same questions here today.

The first question is, “What is your business?” Many people have different kinds of businesses. Some are big while others are small, some have just started while others have been in it for a considerable length of time. No matter the kind of business, you as the business owner knows what type of business you run.

Jesus in the above Bible passage stated that he was in charge of his Father’s business. He was in the Temple teaching and discussing with the renowned Bible scholars of his days; the Pharisees, Sadducee and Scribes. He was supposedly thought to be missing by his parents until he was found by them in the Temple.

Jesus was also involved in his earthly father’s business of Carpentry. Mark 6:3. “Is this not the Carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James….” He was not only found in the Temple, but He was also identified by the locals as a Carpenter. 

What are you identified with or what testimony do your neighbours have of you?

The second question is, “How is business?” This second question seems more difficult to answer. 

Some people might say, “oh well, it’s  so- so, just half way here and half way there.” Some may not even be sure, business is probably dwindling in size or about to fold up. Some others might say, “Business is going great!”

As Christians, followers of Christ, we may also have both types of businesses, our earthly business, the business we do to keep body and soul together, and then our Father’s business, the business God has sent everyone on earth to do….. The business of winning souls!

How is this business going?

“Jesus said, I must do the works of him who sent me while it is day……” John 9:4

Jesus saith unto them, “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34

My question is, “What is your meat, and my meat? How is this business going? Can you and I answer with great enthusiasm as the Master did….”

Paraphrasing, don’t these people know that I am busy with my Father’s work?  Or are we going to say it’s so-so or I’m not sure?

Whatever your answer may be right now, it is my prayer that God would grant each and every one of us his grace so that we can say with great enthusiasm that “Business’ is going great!” May the Lord bless the works of our hands in Jesus Name.

 

Prayer: 

Oh Lord, apply my heart unto wisdom to be an effective witness of Your Saving Grace.

Oh Lord, help me to see Your business as my business in Jesus Name.

WHY JESUS’ BIRTH WAS SPECIAL

WHY JESUS’ BIRTH WAS SPECIAL

Written by: David Agbi

We have seen many births in our time. The joy of a baby entering into the world is satisfying for everyone involved. Although it is exciting, many babies had come and gone by the time Jesus was born and this was a common thing to happen. So what made Jesus’ birth so special?

In Isaiah 7:14-15, Isaiah tells King Ahaz that a virgin will conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel. This prophesy was fulfilled when the angel Gabriel told Mary that she was going to have a son and should call his name JESUS. The prophesy said so long ago was finally fulfilled when Mary, a virgin, married Joseph and called her newborn son JESUS. The Holy Ghost also enveloped her and her son would be called the Son of God [Luke 1:35]. If that was said to you, would you believe? That is the controversy in today’s world.

Another thing that made Jesus’ birth so special was the shepherds along with the wise men. They are both interesting stories. The shepherds, talked about in Luke, were in their fields when an angel came and told them about Jesus being born. After this, they visited Baby JESUS, told others and praised God. In the wise men’s case, talked about by Matthew, coming from the east (Orient) asked King Herod where the King of the Jews was. Herod was furious and told them to find the child, that he may come worship him (so that he could kill him later). They followed the star to where Jesus laid and they worshipped him, and brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. Being warned not to return to Herod, they went their own way; God was protecting Jesus! In both cases, they came to see him and they had exceeding great joy.

The other thing that made Jesus’ birth so special was how he was born. Joseph, who was thinking on putting Mary away privately, had an angel visit him saying not to be afraid of taking Mary as her wife and that which was conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost [Matt. 1:20]. Also, Jesus was born in a manger, for there was no room in the inn. He was born not only in a manger, but he was born where animals would stay. This is very spectacular; the Son of God being inside a small baby and taking on the form of man! Jesus’ job of coming down was to save the people from their sins and this could only be done by someone with no sin (we are all sinners except for Jesus).

There are many other reasons why Jesus’ birth was so special. Imagine how the world and heaven must have rejoiced at the birth of a child! So for all that are wondering why Jesus’ birth was special, look at all the evidence. For the Son of God to come down in the form of a man and growing like a normal person is very dumbfounding for many people. There is a lot of controversy between if Jesus was really God and if his birth was not really spectacular. I for one, think his birth was not only a reality, but also think he is the Saviour. No matter what side you stand, remember what Jesus said “Blessed are they that have not seen, yet have believed”[John 20:29]!

Lower Than Angels?

Lower than Angels?

 Author: Esther Agbi

 Heb. 2:7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of your hands.

 Many people have read this Scripture that says God made man a little lower than Angels.

There is another reference to Angels in Heb. 1:14 “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent

forth to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation? Taking a closer look at both passages of Scripture, one draws the conclusion that they are both inspired words so they are true. Angels are made to minister to those who have been bought with a price, the precious price of the blood of Jesus. Juxtaposing these Scriptures with Gen. 1:27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

The question that borders the mind then is; If God made man in His image, man should not be in any way lower than angels! .Angels were not made in the Image of God. They were just created by Him for a purpose; one of the purposes is to minister to the saints.  How then is Man lower than Angels? Servants are servants, serving the master. The servant does not occupy the same position as his Master in any respect. Jesus Himself testifies in John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. The Redeemed man has been elevated to be friends with Jesus and even co-heirs, and also to be seated in heavenly places with Him.

We know that Jesus who is God Himself came down to earth in the form of man, but

Heb. 2:9 clearly explains that Jesus was also made lower than the angels temporarily. Why?  For the purpose of death! Angels are spirit beings and spirits don’t die. They are immortal beings, living from everlasting to everlasting. So for the purpose of death, man is made lower than angels. Man must die before he can be transformed to an immortal being, except the case of rapture where the living who are in Christ are changed to immortality without passing through death.

This shows how Christians are so special in the sight of God and also crowned with glory and honour. Isn’t that wonderful!

 Prayer

  1. Oh Lord, help me to see myself the way you see me, wonderfully and beautifully made!
  2. Oh Lord, help me to live life that would bring others to Christ.
