PRESENTATION!

Ephesians 5:27 AMPC

That He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendour, without spot or wrinkle or any such things [that she might be holy and faultless].

 

Presentation! Have you ever looked at something and thought "wow" that looks amazing? Yes, we all have.

Presentation is one of the most used marketing strategies that reel customers in before they can say "jack"

What is presentation?

Presentation setting forth an offering; bestowal, exhibition, display, appearance, semblance, and show. Is the demonstration in real time on how something works.

How do you present yourself?

Are you presenting Christ, as a believer and a Christ-follower appropriately?

Christ intends to present the church, you and me to the Father in such a way that expresses His pride and joy in us in the use of the word “splendour.”

Jesus’s presentation of the church and his bride will be magnificent, with splendid appearance and grandeur.

Presentation matters a lot!

Some of us do presentations daily as part of our lives, professional or otherwise, let’s think of the calculated time, efforts and resources that go into making those presentations almost perfect or acceptable. Why is it then, that the same diligence is lacking in our presentation of the gospel, of Christ?

Everything in our lives must be presented to the Father as presentation offering for concentration according to Exodus 29:24.

When we walk into any kind of shop, intending to buy something specific, we may notice something else and get hooked on wanting one just because of the presentation, we visualise from their presentation what and how that item would look in our homes, on us or in our car.

Some of us do a good presentation for our guests, at our businesses and at work to do a good job for our earthy boss that we would never do with the Lord of Host.

When Moses met with Pharaoh in Exodus 10:1 to present the request for the release of the Israelites, he had to do a good presentation of His “boss”, the Lord of host, the God of Isreal to get Pharoah’s attention.

Have you made plans on how you will be presenting the Lord and His kingdom in this new year and beyond?

Everything about you must be included in your presentation: your looks, appearance, clothing, manner and speech. Everything should be used constructively to present the Lord.

First, according to Hebrew 9:2, our altars must be presentable to the Lord with the showbread for daily communion with the Lord. Our altars must be a good presentation of our intimate relationship with the Father.

Meditate on 1 Corinthians 12:23, on how we present parts of our body that we think to be less honourable, we clothe these with greater honour, and our unpresentable parts have a better presentation, yet we treat Holy things, Spiritual things, Godly things and God’s word with less honour.

Let’s be intentional in our presentation of Christ and his kingdom in our daily walk.

We must not be hypothetical in our presentations of those things that should be intimate and private between us and the Father as Matthew 6:5 talks about.

Let’s deliberately present the Lord on an attractive, awe-inspiring and desirable package through our interactions, communications, and general presentation.

Even if people don’t know or understand what you stand for, make you’re your presentation stand out with the bold love of God displayed for all to see and come to your Father in heaven,

Presentation matters!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

-        How intentional am I in presenting Christ through my daily actions, words, and appearance?

-        In what ways does my personal presentation (speech, clothing, attitude) reflect the Kingdom of God?

-        Do I invest as much effort in presenting the gospel as I do in professional or social presentations? Why or why not?

-        How can I make plans for presenting the Lord and His Kingdom in the coming year?

PRAYER: Father, I commit the whole year to you, and I ask that you help me on the path of righteousness and present you appropriately in every area of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
