SUPPORTING THE GOSPEL WITH YOUR RESOURCES SATURDAY MARCH 18
TEXT: MARK 16: 15, 16.
Key Verse: "And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16: 15.
The Great commission which Christ has given to us His disciples is to go and preach the gospel to every human creature on earth, turn them to Christ's disciples and prepare them for eternal life through the ministry of the word of God. The Great Commission requires the following: (i) To locate the sinners and present to them a clear message of repentance from sin and faith on the LORD Jesus Christ. This is required to make the sinners turn from their sins and all unrighteousness. (ii) To teach the disciples the word of God so that they grow and mature in the knowledge of God and of scriptural truths; in this way they will enjoy the life of holiness and righteousness. (iii) The exercise of wisdom in soul winning and in the management of human and material resources for gospel success. He that wins men to Christ and perfects them for eternal life is wise. Proper foundation had to be laid for the universal and future generation church. For them to be fully established, money and material resources are required.
If the gospel must be preached even to the ends of the world, money and material resources are vital. With the cooperation of Christ-like givers in the early church, the church got established and has flourished to this day. God did not drop money, food stuff, and other material provisions for the sustenance of the apostles and early believers from the sky. He used men and women who were willing and good-hearted to supply the needs of the people of God. That helped to prolong the revival and mature the church which was newly formed. Similarly, with the cooperation of Christ -like givers in the end time, we shall witness greater conversion of souls to Christ, and righteousness and holiness shall return to the church. To support the gospel and distribute abundant life to men on earth, we must give of our money and material possessions. May the LORD raise you to support and maintain this end-time revival that is preparing the church for the return of the LORD Jesus Christ.
Thought for the day: Money and material resources are vital for the gospel to reach the whole world.
Song for the day: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down, shaken together….
Bible reading for the day: Deuteronomy 31-32; Luke 1:1-23

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
