Let's Talk About Jesus

Face Book is one of the most popular social media websites in the world. Hundreds of thousands of new subscribers are getting onto this platform every single day. Rubbish!


The Bible is the Number 1 Best seller of all publications in the world. Rubbish!

Where am I coming from?

Face Book has become so popular because there is something attractive about it. Its influence has spread over to the business communities in that whatever is said on Face Book can make or break a company.

By the same token, the Bible has been the top selling publication for ages because there is something powerful about it. It has tremendous impact on lives! It shall prosper and heal you!

To those who are not on Face Book, it is but rubbish. Similarly, to those who are not into Jesus, the Bible is trash.

I will have you know this day that the Holy Bible is all about the person of Jesus! From the first page to the last!

Millions upon millions of lives have been positively impacted by Jesus since time immemorial. Multitudes have been prospered and healed in churches: the body of Jesus Christ. Why then are miracles confined to churches? You got it right! It is because the goodness and loveliness of Jesus are talked about only in churches!

Incidentally, churches are but assemblies of people talking about Jesus! A church is not confined to some buildings. A group of friends or family members gathered together to talk about Jesus is a church!

The Bibles says that when you talk about Jesus, signs and wonders shall follow. In short, miracles happen whenever you talk about the person of Jesus!

Why then are miracles not prevalent in our times? Yes, you got it right again! It is because we do not talk about Jesus and Jesus crucified.

The early churches in the Book of Acts were super powerful!

Handkerchiefs of the prophets healed the sick! The dead were raised! What was the attitude of Apostle Paul, our grace minister? It was this: "I resolved to know nothing else except Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2)

I declare this day forward that I resolved to know nothing else except Jesus Christ and Him crucified!

The Book of Acts also recorded that the Apostles have been warned not to speak anymore in that name (Acts 4:17).

What was the Apostle Peter's response? It was this: " And now, Lord, behold their threatening: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy child Jesus." (Acts 4:29-30).

This day, I ask of the same!

Terror struck the hearts of the Pharisees when the wonderful name of Jesus was preached. What was in that name? It is this: "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth." (Philippians 2:9-10)

Sicknesses and diseases must go in Jesus' name! Poverty and lack must vanish in the name of Jesus! All imperfections must bow to that wonderful name of Jesus!

At this point, I would have you know that sicknesses and diseases and disasters NEVER came from God. Mankind has been deceived to believe this lie! It is not the Father's will that any should perish.

From then till now, Satan has been working hard to tarnish the good reputation of our loving Abba Father. Satan has been using the aged tactics of fear to stop the talk about Jesus: Fear of ridicule and shame, mockery and rejection.

Why is Satan trying so hard to stop us from talking about Jesus? It is because he wants to hide a secret.

What secret? It is this. More than two thousand years ago, Satan suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Jesus! Satan was disarmed! Satan was stripped of all his powers! Satan lost his dominion over mankind! (Colossians 2:15).

When Jesus was crucified, Satan imagined that he has won the ultimate battle against God. Satan imagined that he would have eternal dominion over the world and mankind. Satan thought his deep desire to become God has come to fruition.

What Satan least expected was these. When Jesus was crucified on the Cross, all of God's judgment against our sins for all of eternity has been poured on the body of Jesus! Today, our sins and lawless deeds, God remembers no more (Hebrews 10:17). And as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from Him (Psalms 103:12).

When Jesus was flogged and his flesh torn apart beyond human recognition, every stroke He bore took away all our diseases and infirmities. And by his stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5)

In the three days when Jesus died, he went to the depth of hell. He sank to the lowest depths of Hades: in the lowest pit, the pit of dense darkness. His soul has arrived at Sheol, the kingdom of death and He became a man without God. He was wasted (Psalms 88).

The whole hosts of hell were upon Him and He was going through agonies beyond human imagination and then suddenly, He was justified and made alive! He hurled back the hosts of darkness and He put them to naught; He paralyzed their death dealing power. (Hebrews 2:14)

Jesus became the master of all hell. "He disarmed the principalities and the powers; He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it." (Colossians 2:15).

If you have watched the Move "The Passion of Christ", you may recall the scenes when Jesus was flogged, spit at, punched and eventually nailed on the Cross.

I believe these scenes somewhat depict a sense of the untold agonizing sufferings that Jesus took on our behalf when He was three days and three nights in the pit!

The only difference is this. Picture it in your mind with me.

While Jesus was undergoing all that agonizing pain (and I can imagine Satan laughing his heart out), He suddenly broke free, flung every host of darkness that were all over Him, bashed them up and then held Satan up by his neck before slamming him to the ground and trampling him under His feet!

Satan was shivering and trembling in utter shock, absorbing that truth of his humiliating defeat!

And this is what I call :He who laughs first, laughs last!"

It was as if our Lord Jesus sang this song: "Caught you by surprise. You didn't realize that your life has changed forever!"

Satan's life has been changed to eternal damnation.

Our lives have been changed to eternal blessedness. Not only in heaven but RIGHT NOW!

And when God raised Jesus from the dead that was our ultimate victory! That victory was ours!

Jesus has come to do for us what we can never do! Jesus has defeated Satan and became the absolute master of satanic forces! He has done it for us, as us!

Now, you can see why Satan is so afraid of you talking about Jesus!

Satan does not want you to know that YOU are his MASTER!

Satan is our defeated foe who tries to deceive us into believing that he still has dominion over us! To the extent he manages to stop us from talking and knowing Jesus, to that extent he wields dominion over us.

Satan can only succeed insofar as we allow him to.

Satan will use all sorts of contradictory circumstances in an attempt to deceive us into submission to his pseudo powers.

But NOW I KNOW! I stand on God's Word! I stand on the eternal truth of Jesus' victory; MY VICTORY!

Isn't Jesus Good News? With all these in mind, why should I be ashamed to talk about Jesus, the good news, the Gospel?! "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power unto salvation."

It is not just salvation to enter heaven. It is salvation from sicknesses, diseases, infirmities, pains, poverty; in short LACK!

All that is history!

NOW, I have abundant life for "Jesus has come that I may have life and have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).

What stands between LACK and ABUNDANCE is this: YOUR acceptance of what Jesus has done for YOU!

God says: "I lay before you life and death, therefore choose well and choose LIFE". The very moment YOU receive Jesus as your personal Savior and believe that He died for your sins and three days later was resurrected; the eternal abundant life NOW and for ETERNITY is YOURS!

For everyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and behold, ALL things have become NEW!

What's your pick?

Let's talk about Jesus!
