One Thing Is Needful

-
Read Luke 10:38-42 Memorize: But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her (Luke 10:42). Many necessities have overridden the hearts of many Christains so much that they don't see what is needful. The one thing needful, which Mary chose is waiting on God. Waiting on the Lord is key to Christian growth (Psa. 27:14). Waiting on the Lord however requires some ingredients to be effective. The days of passionate worshippers and committed workers are going. Mary believed in Jesus, hence sat to hear Him teaching, ignoring all distracting necessities around her. It is indispensable that one has faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and in His power. Your Faith is Key! Sitting at the feet of Jesus, also, signifies the genuine love Mary had for her Lord. She would not have sat patiently and happily at Jesus' feet, if she had not loved Him. Your love for Him will enable you to wait! It also shows that readiness should be in one to regularly learn at His feet in personal and corporate fellowships. Remember that so many things are necessary in this world, but not all is needful. The infinitely needful is sitting at Jesus' feet that one may know Him and the power of His resurrection. Cherish it. Remember Martha was not committing sin in this passage, only that she has misplaced her priority. Watch out. Prayer Points: 1. Lord, help me to cherish what is paramount on Your mind. 2. Ask God to bring ministers who are already missing their tracks back to their first love and calling. 3. Lord, help your children to discover what matters most to You and be empowered to concentrate on that. Extra Reading For Today: Galatians 1-3

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
