You Need The Holy Spirit

-
TOPIC: YOU NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT
Read 1 Corinthians 2:6; 3:4
MEMORISE
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. ( 1 Corinthians 2:12)

EXPOSITION
Our Lord Jesus Christ promised sending the Holy Spirit after He had ascended to the right hand of our Father in heaven (John 14:26). He was in a way promising to continue in, and with believers, in the person of the Holy Spirit, who would teach us all things.
With the above at the back of his mind, Apostle Paul reiterated that the wisdom of the Holy Spirit is far greater than the wisdom of even the wisest in this world. The wisdom of the Holy Spirit is needed to understand the things given to us freely by God. Indeed, we need the Holy Spirit to interpret spiritual truths, so that, as disciples of the Lord Jesus, we can walk in the Truth. We need the Holy Spirit because, God has chosen to reveal to us and help us in our walk with Him, in His Son, and by His Holy Spirit.
Many of us have probably heard or can sing the following by heart : "Christ is enough for me, Christ is enough for me, Everything I need is in You, Everything I need..... " It's probably one of the most beautiful songs written about the joy of salvation by Hillsong Worship. He is indeed everything we need. He is our All in All. He has also given us His Spirit to help us in our walk with Him to eternity. The Holy Spirit is given to us so that we can grow in holiness in Christ. If you will not live like an orphan (comfortless) -- you need the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14:18,19).
As believers in Christ Jesus, we need to understand the love of God the Father as well as the work of the Holy Spirit in order to "abide " in God's Words and become true disciples of Jesus Christ, being conformed to His image and likeness (Rom. 12:2).

PRAYER POINTS
1. Holy Spirit, I need You in my life as Jesus promised You; dwell in me and fill me to overflowing, all the days of my life.
2. Lord our God, help us to fully appreciate the truth that the Holy Spirit is sent to us, to help us in our walk with You.
3. O Lord, help believers to embrace the sufficiency of Christ for them in all things and at all times.

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.

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
