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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
