Faithful Christian Workers

TOPIC: FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN WORKERS

MEMORISE:
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Corinthians 4:2

READ:
LUKE 12:37-38
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.


MESSAGE:
A Christian worker is a born- again child of God; a steward who has been entrusted with the careful use, control and management of Kingdom resources and possession. The teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ on stewardship emphasised two things that are important : responsibility and accountability. Jesus speaking on responsibility in Luke 12:48:
'But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.'
According to Revelation 4:11, God created man and everything else for His pleasure. Individual are therefore accountable for their God- given physical and spiritual endowment. Christain are also responsible for whatever is put in their care. The gifts and talents in our lives are to be used profitably for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. The Bible further states in ROMANS 14:12 that everyone of us shall give account of himself to God. And in Romans 2:6 that God will render to every man according to his deeds. Consequently, every Christian workers is accountable to God. The Bible also admonishes us not to neglect our gift but to develop and polish them.
'Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.' 1 Timothy 4:14
Christians are to be wise stewards of their God-given gifts. Talents and abilities. They are to serve with humility, total submission to authority and in the fear of God. They are to serve with gratitude to God and for the benefits of others. Christian workers in whatever department should nowt view the work of God as an opportunity to make money. The work should not be done with eye-service but as unto the Lord, who will faithfully reward those who diligently serve Him. Finally, whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might ( ECCLESIASTES 9:10 ), and don't be slothful in God's business, but rather be fervent in your physical and spiritual service to God( Romans 12:11). I pray that as you work fervently for God this year, He will reward you accordingly in Jesus' Name.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please let the cup of my physical and spiritual blessings overflow this year in the Name of Jesus.

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
