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

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
