LIVING HOPE …..Hebrew 11:13-16

world and Religion Worldview and Stories People and Politics Education Center Entertainment The blessed task of growing into maturity would not be complete , except exhotation to faith , hope and love are explored . There is no gain saying that the fact that christians have living hope through Christ Jesus , no Christians would ever conteplate on sucide bumbing or forceful taking away of life by any means . The sanctity of human life must be respected . Hope in the scripture is not a vague wish of something in the future , but an absolute certainty of future good .

VICTORY IN LIFE

world and Religion Worldview and Stories People and Politics Education Center Entertainment We talk about victory when one conquers or defeats his / her opponent or enemies .

GOD’S COVENANT PEOPLE

world and Religion Worldview and Stories People and Politics Education Center Entertainment Reigning in Life through Christ is not a product of wishful thinking . It is only possible if and when the right steps have been taken in our walk with God . But can two walk together without agreement ( Amos 3:3 ) . Agreement or Convenant is the foundation of any meaninful relationship whether material , political , business or otherwise . No two persons agree to live together without first of articulating the terms of such co-existence . Similarly two countries cannot engage in any serious business deals without a bi-lateral agreement .

STEPHEN : MARTYRDOM …..Acts 7:54-60

world and Religion Worldview and Stories People and Politics Education Center Entertainment Stephen was one of the persons chosen by the early Church to serve as a deacon . He is known as thefirst Christian Martyr . Stephen could have renounced Christianity and live . But it would have coused him the opportunity of reigning with Christ till eternity .

In today's study we shall allow ourselves to be guided by the holy spirit to discern the reason why we should not allow death itself to hinder us from reigning with Christ .

THE PROMISE OF DOMINION

world and Religion Worldview and Stories People and Politics Education Center Entertainment Reigning in life is all about being in charge of one's life and even circumstances that sorrounds one . It is , however , unfortunate that there are some theologies and teachings being peddled in the church whereby it is suggested that even Christians live under the influence of demonic and setanic forces and the likes . Nothing can be farther from the truth . The truth actually is that those who are in Christ have not only been saved by grace, but are also now seated with Christ in the heavenly realms ( 2 Tim. 2:12 )

Because once he promises a thing he has the capability , ability , and responsibility to fulfill it , ( Num.23:19 ) No womder the scripture says his promises are always " yes "and amen for us who believe 2cor2:18 ,20
