CHRIST IS COMING AGAIN! ‘SHALL HE FIND FAITH ON THE EARTH?’

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Oct 31, 2025 | Ministry and Prayer, Missions and Evangelism |

Jesus Christ ends His illustration of the Parable of the persistent widow by affirming His Second Coming (Lk 18:1-8). He linked His Second Coming directly to faith, with continued, pursuing prayer. Need drives reliance on God. Like the persistent widow, continuing to bring a need to God does not show a lack of faith, but just the opposite. Jesus’ question, ‘Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth,?’ suggest that as the time of His return draws nearer, evil will be so increased that many in the church will stop depending on Jesus...

Persistent Widow: Model of Believers between Jesus’ First and Second Comings.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Oct 22, 2025 | Missions and Evangelism |

Jesus’ parables, as earthly stories with heavenly meaning, are intended to teach or convey a renewing concept through descriptive language, enabling hearers to learn a specific lesson or point. The parable of the Persistent Woman as an earthly story with heavenly meaning is placed in the context of Jesus explaining the nature of the kingdom of God, shaped by persistent prayer and His eventual return. Prayer is a blood-bought privilege for every son and daughter of God. Persistent prayer and faith go together. Beloved do not be deceived. Jesus is coming again. Jesus is concerned that His followers learn to be consistent...

Costless Discipleship: GENERATION OF DISTANT CHRISTIANITY.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Oct 21, 2025 | Ministry and Prayer |

We are in a generation and age where churches preach about tolerance and inclusivity without providing impactful discipleship teaching on repentance, regeneration, and holiness. Jesus invites us to live out the true cost of discipleship. Jesus, in the conclusion to a teaching about the cost of discipleship, said, “Anyone who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be My disciple” (Lk 14:33). Cross-centred discipleship is a breaking free from the control of material wealth and attachments. As Christians, we are in the world, but we are not of the world, regardless of its emotional bond, fears, and ambitions. We...

THE 21ST CENTURY COUNCIL OF THE TEN LEPERS (NINE AGAINST ONE): UNITED BY NEED AND SEPARATED BY LACK OF REPENTANCE.

Posted by Deji Okegbile | Oct 15, 2025 | Missions and Evangelism |

“While Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. As He entered a village, He was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance; and they raised their voices and called out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were healed and made clean. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, glorifying and praising and honouring God with a loud voice; and he lay face downward at Jesus’...
