Theme: TRIUMPHANT ENTRY

Dear friends in Christ, N'wokafu YESU KRISTO...

Today, Jesus enters Jerusalem triumphantly. He rides into the city of His suffering and eventual death as a victor and King. Jesus kept a positive and winning mindset even as He prepared to endure suffering and shame. This approach of Jesus is interesting and yet surprising. Knowing very well what lies ahead of Him in Jerusalem. 

Beloved, even though surprising, Jesus' approach to this ultimate journey holds a lesson for us. It is all about mindset and approach. The mindset with which we approach our problems is very important. As Christians, our faith demands that we face the challenges and the problems of life with a winning mindset. Jesus came to Jerusalem as a winner and conquerer. Whatever it is that you face or must endure, endure it triumphantly!

PRAYER

Lord our God, today, Jesus enters Jerusalem triumphantly to endure his passion. May his suffering, death, and resurrection bring us strength and courage. 

Amen! 

May God bless you.
