Theme: Look Unto Jesus and Live 
Text: Numbers 21:8-9

8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.



When the Israelites sinned against the Lord, He sent fiery serpents in their mist killing most of them (Numbers 21:4-9). The remedy is to look at the bronze serpent hanged on the pole so as to live.

Dear beloved in the Lord, we have better chances to live forever through Jesus Christ. Jesus died for us on the cross to wash away our sins and infirmities. The prophet Isaiah says; But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

The only one that gives eternal life is Jesus. Look to Him and you'll subdue every evil power manipulating your life. Your healing, liberation and restoration lies solely in Jesus Christ. 


Prayer: Dear Saviour Jesus, I invite You into my life. Take control over my life and lead me through this life's journey in victory. AMEN!

Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!
