Created For Relationship

-
CREATED FOR RELATONSHIP
Read Genesis 1:26-31
Memorize: Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness (Genesis 1:26a).
The original purpose of man's creation was to have relatonship with God (Gen. 3:8).This was defeated in man's fall. However, the merciful God graciously moved to bring man back to Himself through Jesus. "Relatinship" is "the fact of being related or connected to by blood." "Blood" is the connecting link. Jesus shed His precious blood for man to have free access to God in personal relationship. Christ's death tore the O.T. veil into two, bridging the communicaton gap between God and man. Relationship also means, "staying in touch", whch develops from having meaningful time with God. God really wants to relate with man.
You want to have a proper relationship with God? You must have personally accepted Christ's lordship, because, enjoying God's presence in communion requires accepting His gift and becoming a member of His family. Jesus Christ is the indescribable and unspeakable gift of God, because in Him every other things consists (2 Cor. 9:15).
Also, you should have a regular time of meeting with Him to strengthen your relationship with Him (Psalm 63:1). This is called Quiet Time, a regular period of personal communion and worship with God. Added to this is that you must maintain fellowship with God's people (Heb. 10:25).
You are doing yourself a great deal of favour by staying connected to God, the source of your life and living. Be connected and remain in Him now and forever.
Prayer Points:
1. Help me, oh Lord, to remain connected to You.
2. Thank God for the indestructible establishment of His Church and the veracity and efficacy of the gospel.
3. Pray that the Lord God will help all the backsliders to come back to their willing and waiting Father.

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

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.

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
