There is An End

TOPIC: THERE IS AN END

Read: Ecclesiastes 8:1-8
MEMORISE: No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, and no one has power in the day of death (Ecclesiastes 8:8).

EXPOSITION
Both the beginning and the end are always at loggerheads. While the former always want to perpetuate itself without end, the latter aspires to takeover and exterminate the former. This is the reality of life. Occupying a post at any level for a long time is pleasing and enjoyable. Nobody who is the occupant wants his reign to know an end. No wonder there have been cases of leaders in history who have attempted to perpetuate themselves in government of nations. In fact, there are some who have so tyrannically stayed put in government houses of their nations. The irony of life is that all of these have ended up one way or the other, on most cases, very sadly and ingloriously.

 Every living human seldom desires the factor called, end. Death remains man’s enemy. It brings one’s rule, reign, service, enjoyment, sorrows, wars, illnesses, sufferings, worries, and all other things to an end! No rationally inclined person desires that end should come to his life regardless of how painful, sorrowful and hard the life itself had been. However, there is a necessary and inevitable end to all these things.

 Blessed are you, living and reading this dose of the Living Water today. Know that the end will come one day. It is not negotiable. It is same for the powerful and the weak, the small and the mighty, the rich and the poor. It is incumbent on the living to prepare for the necessary end, which comes without giving notice! Rich? Poor? Influential? High? Lowly? Famous? Notorious? Your end is sure.

 Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, and cooperate with His Spirit to do what is just, right and above all, what will earn and qualify you for eternal life with Him, where will earn and qualify you for eternal life with Him, where there is no end. Be wise; follow Jesus to the end, He is way, the truth and the life.

PRAYER POINTS
1.  Oh God of grace, assist me to do the needful before I am no more.
2.  Teach and help me, Oh Lord, to number my days so that I can keep putting to mind the end, a thing that would moderate my living now.
3.  Lord, help those in positions of public fund to continually remember their ends, so that they can do the right things according to Your will and in the interest of the masses they are serving.

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
