THE LIFE OF THE MINISTER.   SUNDAY NOVEMBER 5
TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 3: 10-17                                                                                                           
Key verse: “But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of knowing of whom thou hast learned them” 2Timothy 3:14.
Today we shall examine your life as a preacher. You were not called to your own salvation only but for the salvation of others. Every true believer is a preacher in every aspect of his life; at home, in the community, at work, in business, in market, in politics, in school etc. Before one becomes a preacher he must first of all be a Christian. The preacher as a Christian servant who is to preach the gospel of Christ fruitfully requires loyalty to him and his word. The life of the preacher must be a message to men; to minister effectively among men, certain qualities are required. Foundational doctrine must be understood by whoever desires to be a preacher. The Bible reveals these basic essentials. There must be thorough repentance from all sins. Faith must be exercised on the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins, born again experience and complete newness. Thorough repentance and salvation from sin where required; such as settling quarrels, apologizing to those he offended, forgiving those who offended him, returning misappropriated property, withdrawing from all falsehood disclaiming false result or certificate, settling the issues of ungodly marriage relationship, dressing modestly and decently devoid of worldliness such as the use of gold and jewelry by women, sagging by men, etc. Apart from making them born again the Holy Spirit sanctified and cleanses the believers so they may properly reflect the person of Christ. All believers manifest the fruit of righteousness and holiness, glory, love, faith, joy, patience and other Christian virtues. All who believe are to be baptized in water baptism with the Holy Spirit. This is God's promise to all who believe in him. Water baptism is commanded to be observed by everyone who has believed the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the father's power for every believer. The evidence of this is purification of heart, inner cleansing from inbred sin or adamic nature for the purpose of inner holiness. Jesus provided this experience for the believers on the cross. Those who believe in and call on him shall be sanctified. All preachers of Christ must accept all scripture doctrine, teach all doctrine of Christ and prance all the word of God without preference. Man is a moral agent and is accountable to God, he is responsible for his life on earth and shall face the great judgment of God after his death. This will determine where he will spend eternity, heaven or hell fire. You are still alive so you can propagate the gospel of Christ.
Thought for the day: Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel of Christ.
Song for the day: I will make you fishers of men if you follow Me
Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 40-42; Hebrews 2

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...

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 ...
