Service To God

-
Read Luke 17:7-10 Memorize: Would he not rather say, 'Prepare your supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? (Luke 17:8).. The Good News Bible says, ...Put on your apron and wait on me... Apron is a piece of cloth that cooks put on to avoid stains during cooking or serving. We have to get ourselves ready as we fulfill our mandates. Our Lord and Saviour put on the garments of a servant. With what do you grid yourself? With belt of TRUTH buckled around your waist (Eph. 6:14-17). Truth, here, is like a belt around your heart, meaning the Word of God must dwell in you richly to conquer the devil's strategies (John 17:17). Now that you have been girded with truth (the Word of God), then you wait on Him (serve Him). Serving Him requires the whole of your heart (Jos. 22:5). It costs sincerity and gladness of heart to be accepted. Jesus says, Whoever serves me must follow me (John 12:26). So, genuinely fear, follow, and obey Him. Above all, no matter the challenges, and then the level of success,as you render your service to God, give God all the glory for the great privilege to serve Him. Serve Him from today as divinely designated. God's blessing is upon you always. Do you celebrate domestic servants? Yet, Jesus Christ has ways of granting that those who serve humbly, faithfully and sincerely be celebrated. Prayer Points: 1. Lord, help me to serve You always with the humblest mind. 2. Pray that God should dislodge the worldly, materialistic and heretical tendencies bedevilling the Christian fold. 3. Pray that the Lord will give to members of His family the grace of humility in service.

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
