Summary
Guest preacher Pastor Ben Isaak from Uganda testifies that Christianity is not a theory but a real, supernatural encounter with God. He shares six simple confessions that anchored his faith: God is who He says He is, and I am who God says I am; God has what He says He has, and I have what He says I have; God can do what He says, and I can do what God says I can do. The secret of favour with God, he insists, is to never contradict what God declares about us.
Drawing on 2 Corinthians 3 and 4, he contrasts two men on two mountains. Moses' face shone with a borrowed glory that came from outside and slowly faded, so he hid it behind a veil. Jesus, on the mount of transfiguration, shone with a glory that blazed from within. The Christian, he says, is compared not to Moses but to Jesus: 'as He is, so are we in this world.' Since we gave our lives to Christ, He lives in us - Christ in you, the hope of glory - and we carry this treasure, the excellency of God's power, in earthly vessels.
Because that life lives in us, we are ministers and transmitters of it, not beggars for blessing. He recalls the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment and drew healing out of Him, and a bedridden woman in Africa who was healed the moment 'her deliverance walked in.' The service closes with prayer for the sick and a prophecy that God will pour out His Spirit on young people for a coming revival.
Key Points
- Christianity is supernatural and personal, not a theoretical religion.
- Agree with God - never contradict what He declares about you.
- You are compared to Jesus, not to Moses: 'as He is, so are we in this world.'
- Christ Himself lives in you; you carry the treasure of God's power in an earthly vessel.
- Believers are ministers and transmitters of God's life, not beggars for blessing.
- The same Jesus who worked miracles 2,000 years ago wants to work through you today.
- Don't let guilt or shame keep you from daily fellowship with God.
Devotional
You may feel ordinary, tired, or unworthy, yet Scripture says the very life that shone through Jesus now lives in you. Stop measuring yourself by your feelings and start agreeing with what God says about you. The treasure of His power is already inside, waiting to flow out to a hurting world. Today, simply say yes to Him, and let Christ in you reach the person standing right next to you.
You are not compared to Moses - you are compared to Jesus.
We are not beggars for blessing; we are dispensers of the life of God.
Don't contradict God. Say yes to what He says about you.
