The Old Testament does not merely anticipate a coming Messiah; it gives clear, detailed signposts that find their perfect fulfillment in Jesus Christ. These Prophecies strengthen Faith by revealing God’s sovereign plan of Redemption, accomplished in Christ.

*Prophecies Concerning His Death*

The suffering and death of Jesus were foretold centuries before the Cross. Isaiah described a Servant who would be rejected, pierced, and crushed for the sins of others (Isaiah 53:3–6). David prophetically spoke of crucifixion-like suffering, long before crucifixion was practiced, saying, “They pierced my hands and my feet” (Psalm 22:16), and that lots would be cast for His Garments (Psalm 22:18). Zechariah also foretold that the Messiah would be betrayed for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12–13), fulfilled in Judas’ betrayal (Matthew 26:14–15).

*Prophecies Concerning His Resurrection*

Death was not the end. The Scriptures declared that the Holy One would not remain in the grave. David prophesied, “You will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your Faithful One see decay” (Psalm 16:10). Isaiah affirmed that after suffering, the Messiah would see the Light of life and be satisfied (Isaiah 53:10–11). Jesus Himself referenced Jonah’s three days in the fish as a sign of His resurrection (Jonah 1:17; Matthew 12:39–40).

Together, these fulfilled prophecies testify that Jesus is the promised Christ—crucified for our sins and raised for our Justification (Romans 4:25).

Prayer Points

1.Father, thank You for the fulfillment of Your Word in Jesus Christ. Strengthen my Faith as I see Your Perfect plan revealed through prophecy and fulfillment.

2.Lord Jesus, help me to live daily in the Power of Your Death and Resurrection, walking in Victory, Obedience, and Hope.Amen.

TRUSTING GOD'S PROCESS

 TRUSTING GOD'S PROCESS BY: Evangelist Oluwole Olaleye Christ Witness Evangelical Outreach a.k.a Christ Witness Mission Enquiry:08038533059 Life often brings situations filled with uncertainty, delay, and challenges. During such times, trusting God’s process means believing that He is working behind the scenes for our good—even when we cannot see the outcome immediately. God’s timing and ways are perfect (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His plans for us are to prosper and not to harm, to give us a hopeful future (Jeremiah 29:11). When we trust God’s process, we surrender our impatience and doubts, knowing that He is molding us, preparing us for greater things. Just as a farmer waits patiently for the harvest (James 5:7), we too are called to wait with faith, confident that God’s purpose will be fulfilled at the right time. Key Scripture References: Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will ma...

WHY PEOPLE LEAVE CHURCH?

 *WHY PEOPLE LEAVE CHURCH*  By: Evangelist Oluwole Olaleye  People leave church for many reasons, and often it’s a combination of personal, social, and spiritual factors. Understanding these reasons can help churches become more welcoming, supportive, and relevant. Here are some common causes:  *Disconnection and Lack of Belonging*  Many leave because they don’t feel connected to the community. If people feel ignored, judged, or like outsiders, they may drift away. A church that doesn’t foster genuine relationships or inclusiveness can push people out.  *Unmet Expectations*  People often join church with certain hopes—spiritual growth, support, meaningful worship. When those expectations aren’t met, disappointment sets in. If sermons, programs, or leadership don’t resonate, people may stop attending.  *Hypocrisy and Leadership Failures*  Scandals, moral failures, or hypocrisy among church leaders can deeply hurt members’ trust. When those in ...

THE CHURCH AS A MORAL COMPASS IN PUBLIC LEADERSHIP

 THE CHURCH AS A MORAL COMPASS IN PUBLIC LEADERSHIP The Church serves as a vital moral compass in public leadership by upholding God’s standards of Righteousness, Justice, and Accountability in society. Through the teaching of Scripture, the Church reminds leaders that authority is a trust from God and must be exercised with Integrity, Humility, and service to the people (Romans 13:1; Micah 6:8). By speaking Truth to power, the Church helps to shape the conscience of leaders and restrain the misuse of power. In times when corruption, injustice, and moral compromise threaten public life, the Church stands as a prophetic voice, calling leaders back to ethical governance and the fear of God (Proverbs 14:34; Isaiah 1:16–17). Beyond advocacy, the Church models Godly leadership through its own practices of transparency, compassion, and stewardship, demonstrating that moral leadership is both possible and practical. When the Church Faithfully fulfills this role, it contributes to the emer...
