JESUS IS EVERYTHING (with Pastor Femi 'Oladapo)


JESUS IS EVERYTHING

Jesus Christ is the reason why we are here, without Him there’ll be no Christianity, no Bible and nothing else. Let us look at our lives; business, family, career, everything. Jesus owns it all.

1.       He is our Salvation, Matthew 1:21, Acts 2:21, “And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

2.       He forgives and carries our sin, Isaiah 53:5, “He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities.” 1 John 1:8-9, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

3.       He is our provision, Philippians 4:19

4.       He is our abundance, John 10:10

5.       He is our strength, Philippians 4:13

6.       He is our success, 1 Corinthians 15:10

7.       He is our peace, John 14:27

8.       He is our Joy, John 16:24

9.       He is our power, Matthew 28:18, 3:11

10.    He is our Freedom, John 8:36

11.    He is our security, John 6:37

12.    He is our blessings, Galatians 3:13-14, 2 Corinthians 8:9

13.    He is our entire life, John 1:4, “In Him was life, and the life was the light was the light of men.” Acts 17:28, “For in Him we live, and move and have our being.”

Hence, we should praise Him like David –

a.        Continuously – Psalm 34:1, “I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. Vs.3 “…exalt His name”

b.       While we live – Psalm 146:1, 2, “Praise ye the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul, while I live I will praise the Lord, I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.”

c.        Every day and forever – Psalm 145:1, 2, “I will extol thee, my God, O king, and I will bless thy name forever and ever; Every day I will bless thee, and I will praise thy name forever and ever.”

d.       With dance and instruments – Psalm 149:3, in sanctuary, Psalm 150:1

e.        With our substance, Proverb 3:9, 10

f.         Truth and spirit, John 4:23, 24
