Public Display
“Instead, I sometimes think God has put us, apostles, on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor’s parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world-to people and angels alike.” 1 Corinthians 4:9 (NLT)
Today being Good Friday, we remember God’s public display of His only Son to show He fully paid the total redemption price.
Through the Cross, we are restored back to God.
Have you been to that place of the display where your life is publicly displayed by the Cross you have to carry?.
If you bear your own Cross as ordained by God, like Christ, you can identify with the display Apostle Paul talks about.
We are sometimes in situations where what seems to be our private life is publicly displayed for all to see.
Have you had circumstances beyond your control ?.
Everything is being played out like a script?
Jesus prayed before the crucifixion at the garden of Gethsemane that He wished the Cross to pass over Him but nevertheless, God’s perfect will be done.
We all go through phases of our lives that we wish could be otherwise.
Still, as we continue in the perfect will of God, sometimes God chooses to display us as examples of crucified lives so that others can be drawn to the Kingdom of God by our testimonies and victorious life.
Examine yourself that your Cross is not self-inflicted, and be open to the Holy Spirit to correct you.
Be encouraged today as you carry your Cross faithfully.
Don’t be ashamed.
Jesus, our perfect example, Resurrected and the Cross is empty.
You also will overcome and be triumphant.
Good Friday was a public display that ended as God Purposed it.
So also is yours.

Where will you find help?
“And the asses of Kish Saul’s father were lost. And Kish said to Saul, his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.”
“And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.”
“Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.” 1 Sam. 9:3,6,10.(KJV).
Saul was in trouble.
The asses of his father were lost.
Saul could not find them.
His servant suggested they go to the prophet, the man of God.
Did you also lose your possessions?
What will you do if you are in trouble?
Saul’s servant pointed him to God.
Where are you directing people to seek help?
Will you also make the wise decision to go to God?
“Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too.” John 14:6 TPT
The question is, what is your most valuable possession?
Will it not be your eternal Life?
Where will you go to find protection for your most valuable possession?
God can help with everything.
He helps in our daily Life.
He also helps us find the Way to eternal Life with Him.
Saul did not go to other people.
He went to the man of God.
Where do you go for help?
Do you go to your friends or to God?
Application to the Christian Life:
Go to God when you are in need.
Go to God when you want to reach the Kingdom of God.
Go to God with everything.
Trust Him.
Follow Him.

Everything you read points to me
“You are busy analyzing the Scriptures, frantically poring over them in hopes of gaining eternal life. Everything you read points to me, yet you still refuse to come to me so I can give you the life you’re looking for—eternal life!” John 5:39-40(TPT)
Religion always likes to analyze the scriptures leaving out the critical subject of the Savior.
Jesus Christ’s life and purpose are to redeem man through the path of the Cross.
This Passion week started with Palm Sunday yesterday.
We again start the celebration of Easter.
Which is about His Death and Resurrection.
Many would love to have Christ without the Cross.
The Cross involves being able to say as Jesus did :
“… for the ruler of this dark world is coming. But he has no power over me, for he has nothing to use against me. I am doing exactly what the Father destined for me to accomplish so that the world will discover how much I love my Father. Now come with me.” John 14:30-31 (TPT)
How is your personal relationship with God?
Can you say, like Jesus did, that the enemy has nothing to use against you?
Are you doing exactly what the Father has instructed you to do?
” from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” 1 Chronicle 12:32 (NIV)
Yes, we are in the end times.
Antichrist is at work:
However, bigger and better.
The Holy Spirit is also working and always ahead.
Are you ready for the Rapture?
Share with someone today about the Love of God.
It was His Love that took Him to the Cross.
Do not live in fear; that’s never God’s way.
Easter is about the demonstration of God’s Power.
God’s Power through the Cross Conquered sin.
“…Jesus said, “I was born a King, and I have come into this world to prove what truth really is. And everyone who loves the truth will receive my words.” John 18:37 (TPT)
The Truth and the Power are in the Death and Resurrection of the Savior.
“I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s Power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense Power as it works through you! This is the mighty Power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!” Ephesians 1:19-20(TPT)
As you celebrate this Easter Season, let your life demonstrate the Power of God.
Are you an advertisement of His Power?

Resist evil.
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” Exodus32:33.(KJV).
Is your name is in the Book of Life?
Jesus sacrificed his life to write your name in that Book.
Do you appreciate what Jesus did for you?
Do you want your name to remain there?
Do not sin against God.
If you continue in your sin :
Then your name will be taken from that Book.
Do not use His name in vain.
Do not sin against the Holy Spirit.
The sin against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Do not betray Jesus.
Tell your friends about Jesus.
Be an ambassador of God.
Application to the Christian life:
Resist evil.
Be humble and patient.
Allow God to guide you.
Allow Jesus to teach you.
Follow Jesus.
Honor God.

Did you learn anything from your experiences?
“And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.” Exodus 32:1(KJV).
It is unbelievable.
After everything God did for them:
They became impatient when Moses took too long to come down the mountain.
Instead, would you not have sent out a search party to look for him?
Shortly after God told them not to have any other gods, they gave up all their precious possessions to make a golden calf.
After experiencing everything God did for them, they should have learned to trust God.
They did not.
Do you learn from your experiences or forget what God did for you?.
Do you experience the marvelous grace and help God gives you, or do you take it for granted?
Are you gathering unto an Aaron in your life?
Or are you patiently waiting for God to show up?
Remember, God does not have to help you.
He helps because He loves you, and He cares for you.
Application to the Christian life:
Appreciate what God does for you.
Learn from your experiences.
Learn to trust God.
Allow God to guide you.
