Emanuel (God With Us)

In the fullness of time there came a day when the Son of God was to take human form. Born in Bethlehem of a virgin, Jesus of Nazareth entered the world. His life was one of faith and pleasing to God, attested to by the Father’s utterance after John’s baptism; Jesus words commanded such authority that those who heard him would comment on the power and authority with which he spoke.

His deeds were incomparable. He lived Thirty- three years and decisively showed us that He was God in human flesh (Emanuel). Thousands saw him and believed on Him, they spoke and wrote about him. Their testimony is sure, Jesus Christ was God in the Flesh.

If Christ is indeed God and he declared that we are in Him – He further declared that whatever we ask in His name will be granted to us … What then are we waiting for, move out in the boldness of our relationship with Lord of the universe.

"Go into the entire world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed." Mark 16:15-18 NLT
