THE PREACHER AS A DILIGENT SERVANT OF CHRIST
SATURDAY JANUARY 13
TEXT: TITUS 1:5-9
Key Verse: “If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto hast attained” 1Timothy 4:6.
As Christ's servant, the preacher is called and commissioned by Christ, hence, his loyalty is to Christ and not to man, a denomination or a board. As God's servant, he must hear the word of God, receive the word from God and know the mind of Christ for himself and for the people. Hearing from God is not just by dreams, vision, inward impression, audible voice. It involves studying and knowing the written word of God in the holy bible. Apart from knowing and receiving the word from God, the preacher needs to be endued with power by the Holy Spirit for utterance, signs and wonders to authenticate the gospel. The preacher must learn the life of faith in order to please God and he must give to prayer in order to receive from God and enjoy His bountiful revelations. As God's servant he must know that suffering for the gospel is the will of God for His ministry as exemplified by Christ.
As God's messenger to men, the preacher should possess the following qualities:
i. He must be faithful to the message, never to change it in fear or pity for the people; otherwise God will not be in the message to effect it.
ii. He must be fearless, bold and courageous in preaching the word to all categories of men.
iii. He must preach sound doctrines that is able to save hearers; not a compromiser of truth.
iv. He must preach the truth without minding whether the people receive his message or not.
v. He must not mind persecution and suffering, so as to accomplish his ministry among the people.
vi. He must be meek, humble, gentle and loving in his disposition.
vii. He must be exemplary in life and character, being a role model to his hearers
God should is the one directing this movement. He has shown sufficient signs and spoken at various times that Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide is His own. We do see the result, the evidence in our lives and in our midst. Hence those who deal with this movement should know that it is not with man but with God. Those who minister here are privileged people. Therefore, let all serve with diligence knowing that they are under the close watch of God.

Thought for the day: Be diligent in service that you may receive commendation and not condemnation.
Song for the day: Lord prepare me a sanctuary
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 31-32; Matthew 10:24-42

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

April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
