No Part-Time Workers

-
1. Do you call yourself a Christian? 2. Do you believe in the power of God’s word? 3. Do you believe The Bible is the inerrant and inspired word of God? If you answered “yes” to these questions, congratulations… you’ve just applied yourself to a life of full-time ministry. Some of you are thinking… 1. “But, I don’t work at a Church…” 2. “But, I don’t work for a Christian company…” 3. “But, I don’t have time…” LET’S STUDY: Philippians 1:21 – For to me, living means living for Christ, and to die is gain. - If you claim to be a Christian, your life is meant to be lived FOR HIM. Meaning, you have all the time in the world to do what you’ve been called to do in the first place. Galatians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. - If you claim to be a Christian, then it is no longer you who lives, but Christ who lives in you. His agenda, not ours. Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. - If you are in Christ, God can use your current situation and work place for HIS purpose, with no exceptions. APPLY: 1. Take your current situation and work place as your personal mission field. Why? Because you can possibly reach people a church can’t. You’re on the front lines! 2. Don’t let anyone tell you that full-time ministry can only be found within the confines of a church building. God is bigger than four walls and a steeple. 3. Make it personal. God has put the people around you in your life for a reason. Find out what that reason is, and make it your mission to empower their lives with Christ. The reality is, we are all called to full-time ministry no matter where we work. Jesus isn’t hiring part-time followers. Make it count.

The Roles Of Evangelism In Church Growth

-
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY       According to the New Strong Expanded Exhaustine Concordance of the Bible, GREEK word "Evangelism" means preacher of the gospel which make clear the distinctiveness of the function in the Church.¹       From the beginning of the world, in the garden of Eden God was the first person to do the work of an Evangelist and first Church grower.² He said "It is not good for Man to be alone", So God made a help mate suitable for him by causing a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he took one of his ribs, bone and closed up its place with flesh, Adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman.³       Therefore, when God perfected man by making him a complete man, God was the first Evangelist and the first Church began with the family. God usually visit them to have fellowship with them before they eventually fell (Sin against God). And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceive

ONE WITH GOD IS A MAJORITY

Memorise: And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 2 Kings 6:16 Read: 2 Kings 6:8-17 6:8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 6:9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. 6:10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 6:11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 6:12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 6:13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was t

Obstacles To Eternity

-
TOPIC: OBSTACLES TO ETERNITY There are obstacles of Satan, sin, self, and the world that we must overcome, if the vision of making heaven wouldn't be a miracle. Are you ready? MEMORY SCRIPTURE: But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexual immoral and murderer and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie (Revelation 22:15). BRIEF COMMENT The use of 'but' in the opening of this verse suggests relationship between the preceding verse and this, but the relationship is converse. 'But' emphasises sharp contrast or opposition between two propositions. While verse 14 clarifies the criteria, condition and the fate of those who would enter into God's Kingdom, verse 15 sharply states the condition and characteristics of those who would not make it to the Kingdom of God. According to the passage, who would not enter into the kingdom of God? The dogs, sorcerers, sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, lovers of lies and those that practice it. Comparing t
