EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN WORSHIP.  MONDAY NOVEMBER 6
TEXT1 CORINTHIANS 14:7-12                                                                                     
Key verse:“So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air” 1Corinthians 14:9.
Worshippers should be able to hear what is being said clearly. Attention must be given to clarity of communication in the worship assembly. Except the words spoken are clearly heard, they are of no benefit and have no effect on the worshippers. The preacher, teacher or communicator must speak in understandable language and with clear voice. His speech must not be too fast. The grammar used must not be above the capacity of the audience. His pronunciation must not be blurred. In an assembly where not all in the congregation are well educated, he must select his words to ensure he is simple enough for people to understand him. There are preachers who preach to entertain themselves. They do not mind whether the audience understands them or not. Make effort to communicate in the way your audience will understand you. Church leaders must make provision for those in the worship service who do not understand the central language in use. Adequate provision should be made for interpretation to the various languages represented in the worship service. Wisdom is profitable to direct. The gospel is both for the educated and the illiterates, the blind and the deaf. Jesus died for all and the gospel is for all. The preacher is sent to both the wise and unwise, the educated and the illiterate. He is a debtor to all. All must be given the privilege to hear the gospel for the salvation of their souls, Romans 1:14-15. Gospel singers should ensure that the words of their songs are clear and understandable. What ministers' life to the hearers are words of the songs and not the melody or the rhythm of the instruments. It may require that words of the song be read out and explained to the audience before rendition. The public address system should be able to convey the message clearly to the worshippers in all parts of the hall of meeting and to those sitting outside the meeting hall. Good public address system is required to achieve good results. The leadership of the church needs to give priority to this. The worshippers may not get the message clearly when there is distraction. Solution should be proffered for every kind of distraction in order to maximize the intake of God's word by worshippers. A separate section will be required for the children and the physically challenged (the deaf) for effective communication of the gospel to them, using applicable methods and teaching aids.
Thought for the day: Wisdom is profitable to direct. The gospel is both for the educated and the illiterates.
Song for the day: More, more about Jesus (2X)....

Bible Reading for the day: Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 3

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...
