For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TOPIC:  THE COMMAND IS TO MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT CONVERTS.  FRIDAY AUGUST 11
TEXT:  MARK 16:15-20
KEY VERSE: “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16).

The Great Commission is all inclusive. The scope is the world, covering all peoples and tribes and nations. These have their norms and traditions, life styles and inclinations. We should preach with the aim of converting those we preach to. This is achieved by lifting up Jesus before man, telling them the truth, bringing them to repentance and faith in Christ.

God expects us to mature those who have accepted the gospel of Christ and make them conform to the image of Christ. Our aim is to do the following:

·         Dissolve the convert’s man-made traditions, human philosophies and conform him to biblical doctrine and standard. 
·         Change his personal, family and tribal inclinations to the inclination and orientation of the new man in Christ.
·         Change his outward comportment and make him comply to biblical standard of Christian dressing.
·         Remove his heart from the pleasures of this world and make him heaven-focused.
·         Establish him in the word to enable him live a life of holiness.
·         Make him know how to personally love the Lord, commune with the Lord and be in increasing fellowship with Him.
·         Train him on soul-winning to enable him convert and disciple others as service to the Lord in hope of eternal rewards.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Mathew 28:19-20).

The Great Commission is an urgent assignment. Let all hands be on deck.

Thought for the Day:  I will make you fishers of men.
Song for the Day: Here am I, send me.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 90-92; Romans 11:1-21

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
