HOW DO YOU SUCCEED IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY?
TUESDAY MAY 2
TEXT: JOSHUA 1: 1-9
Key Verse: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shall meditate therein day and night ………..” Joshua 1:8
Anywhere you go people talk about success including the house of God, many preacher of the gospel have written books, organize crusade, seminars conferences and even produced CDs, DVDs on success. Now, we want to hear what God have to say about how to succeed in your ministry. To succeed in the ministry arises from a book and it is called the book of God. This book of the law shall not depart from thy mouth, therefore know what is written in the book of God and be committed to the word of God. To succeed comes from total and careful obedience to the words of God written in His book called the Bible and then you shall succeed in your ministry.
Again, then your ways shall be prosperous. To succeed in the ministry is not determined by the number of your congregation and the number of services you hold every Sunday. You may have a membership of one thousand (1,000) people in your congregation and none among them is qualified to enter heaven! That is, you may have gigantic church building but the worshipers therein are not heavenly candidates, you are not yet succeeding in your ministry. Until you turn yourself and make yourself available to God in total obedience and complete submission to the words of God by doing what is written therein, you cannot turn your congregation into doing things right with God.
There are two ways you can succeed in your ministry: The godly way; and the ungodly way. The Godly way of succeeding is from God because God doesn’t see as man see. He is not interested in a large congregation but the soul that is holy and righteous. The ungodly ways are the ways of men. Men judge by appearance and in numbers. God have lay down rules and regulations written down for us and therefore access us through the complete obedience to that rules.
Thought for the day: Total obedience to the word of God is a sure way to succeed in life.
Song for the day: I am a blessed child (2x), Jesus made me a blessed child, I am a blessed child.
Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 3-5; Luke 23:1-26
God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
