CALL TO CHRISTIAN SERVICE SUNDAY MARCH 26
TEXT: ACTS 26: 16-18
Key Verse: “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me” Acts 26: 18
The Author of your faith is Jesus. He determines your service unto Him. It may appear as if you made the choice but He did it and orders your steps towards it. He said I have chosen you even when you were in your mother’s womb. The ministry God gives His children are in stages: as you are faithful in one, He takes you to the next stage. You should know that it is not by your power but the will of God. Therefore do not seek greatness after the flesh in which will engender covetousness or jealousy for other’s promotion. Also know that you must not despise the calling of others. It is God that set it and you should not disdain your beginning; do not also glory in your status but give all glory onto God.
The members of the body of Christ are many and the position you occupy is decided by God, therefore whichever work is assigned to you or you are doing, it may be ushering, sanitation, preaching, prayer warrior, etc, do it faithfully. The work is complimentary to others’, so see this work as a team working together to win together and go to heaven together. Also, understand that we will be rewarded according to our service. Paul declared, he was a prophet by the will of God, not by any man. Avoid strife, rely on God, He will guide you. Do not say somebody has pushed you away. They must have pushed you to where God wants you to be, so be there faithfully and God will help you to stand and grow. In the world to come God will unfold to us the riches of his grace, he will cause light to shine over us. Whatever the world do to your flesh cannot be compared with the reward God has laid in heaven for you. Let them be breaking your bones one by one, or cut you gradually, the crown of glory, the crown of righteousness is waiting for you. The beauty of God, the majesty of God, the glory of God shall come upon his righteous minister, therefore ensure you strive, and remain faithful to the end.
Thought for the day: Do not seek greatness after the flesh.
Song for the day: Give me grace to follow, abundant grace to follow…..
Bible reading for the day:
Joshua 16-18; Luke 5:1-16

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
