Words for Life Articles

Jesus Christ is the all sufficient one. He is enough for us. He is the all adequate one. He is all and all. he is everything we need and more. He is the answer to every need.

Let’s look into some specifics and scriptures:

1. From the very beginning He was and He has been. All things were created through Him and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him is life, the Life that we need. In Him we find light to illuminate our paths and guide us. Before anything was, He was and will continue to be. All things flow from Him. He is number one and will always be number one.

¹ As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.

² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

³ My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”

What do you do when you are thirsty?

You drink.

You drink water or something that will cool your thirst in the natural.

What do you do when you are spiritually thirsty?

2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

What does it really mean to be a new creation? What is the experience like? When Jesus said to Nicodemus that he needed to be born again. He must have asked Jesus this similar question. What does it mean?

2 Corinthians 5:17

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

What does it really mean to be a new creation? What is the experience like? When Jesus said to Nicodemus that he needed to be born again. He must have asked Jesus this similar question. What does it mean?

In John 3:3-8

3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

Mark 5: 25 - 34

²⁵ Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, ²⁶ and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. ²⁷ When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. ²⁸ For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

²⁹ Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the ^[a]affliction. ³⁰ And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

³¹ But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

³² And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. ³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. ³⁴ And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

This woman had suffered a long time. She had gone round and round seeking a miracle but all to no avail. She had spent all that she had. She had looked for solution everywhere till she met the Lord Jesus and received her miracle. Power was released from Christ and she received her miracle. Power oozed out of Him as she reached at in faith and her case was settled.

The Lord is still doing miracles today and will keep doing miracles because according to Hebrews 13: 8

There are many believers today who are ignorant of their innate nature to be fruitful and to flourish.

We have all been created to be fruitful. God wants us to flourish.

In John 15:16, Jesus tells His disciples that He chose them to be fruitful.

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

Have you ever felt as though you are on your own?

Felt as though everyone has moved on, and you seem to be in a place of complete stagnation.

Feeling forgotten by God? Wondering if God’s promise will ever be fulfilled in your life? Are you wondering if He would ever open that door He promised? Are you hoping praying and trusting God for a breakthrough? Yet there is no breakthrough.

Joseph was a man with a dream, he had the most amazing dream, even his brothers became jealous, his father was upset with him. His brothers knew his dreams could come true one day and the only solution to joseph realising that dream was to kill him.  

Genesis 37:18-20

18 Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him. 19 Then they said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is coming! 20 Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”
