Happy wonderful Monday to us all, I hope you all went to church yesterday? Church was great from my side here and I am sure it went well from your side too. Did you remember to pray for yourselves, your family and your friends? If so, that's good of you as a Christian. Let's move to the title of the article, this is what was preached in yesterday's sermon, let's begin;

Remember the story of the Israelites in Numbers 21 vs 1-9, God delivered them from the hand of the enemies and was in a wilderness and God was feeding them with bread and water. They are for this for days and they got tired of eating it, so they murmur into Moses' ear and God's ear. God got annoyed with them and punished them by sending serpents to bite them. It killed them over the night and they were all scared of their life and repented of their sin. They went to meet Moses and told him to tell God that he should forgive them and send away the serpent. Moses prayed and God answered them and told Moses to make a fiery serpent of brass and hang it on a pole so that when they are bitten by a serpent, they will look at it and they will live. This they did and they were saved.

The brass serpent represents Jesus Christ, when you look to Christ, there's assurance that you will live.

John 3 vs 14 says " KJV:And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:" the serpent represents Jesus in the new testament. No matter what we are passing through, we shouldn't look elsewhere for help cos no one can help us if not God. Every other gods are nothing but just a mere statue that can't talk nor see, they can't smell nor feel anything.

When we look up to God, there are a lot of benefits waiting for us which include;

• Glorification; there is no shame for those who steadily look at Jesus. They will always be lifted and glorified.

• Enlightenment; the light of life will continue to glow in their life and environment.

• Life; when you look up to Christ, he will give you life and hope for living.

• Assistant; God will always show up as an assistant for you whenever you need his help, he has never failed and will never fail.

For those looking elsewhere for help from pastors, Alfas, herbalists and so on, I can boldly tell you that there's no help from them. They can't help you but add to your problem. Run to God whenever you feel the need to talk to someone or you are in trouble and need help. Even when all things are straight for you, look up to Jesus and you will live forevermore.

Don't look elsewhere but unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

Thank you for reading and God bless us all.

Bye for now🥰🥰🥰.
