COUNSEL AND WISDOM FOR CHRIST'S MINISTERS
April 3rd
Text: Proverbs 4:1-12
Key Text: Proverbs 1:33  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Wisdom is the principal thing. Wisdom will preserve you in this corrupt world. It will protect you and your ministry from Satan and wicked men in the world. When wisdom is lacking, there is a higher tendency to misuse anointing and fail in ministry. Godly counsel is also very important to run a successful ministry. Here is a guide on how to run a successful ministry:
i. Associate with the right people in your life and ministry. There are two kinds of people - the good and bad. The bad are more. There are two categories of ministers - the godly and the ungodly - associate with the godly ministers. The righteous and godly are wise people and if you associate with them you will be wise and not miss heaven. Who is your partner?. Evil company and evil association will corrupt your manners. Proverbs 13:20.
ii. Seek Prayer Assistance. Mobilize your wife, family and Christian brothers and sisters to pray. Luke 18:1; Matthew 18:19-21; Ephesians 6:18.
iii. Do not hide your sins. Sin is no respecter of persons. You commit immorality and you're still presiding over the church as general overseer? Your name is already removed from the book of life and you say you are doing crusade and leading sinners to Christ? You are labouring in vain because heaven does not recognize your labour. Seek mercy while it is available. Proverbs 28:13; Psalm 32:1-5.
iv. Do not refuse suffering. Suffering is part of the Christian life. Do not fight against scoffers, critics, persecutors. If you sin, be ready to suffer for it.  Matt. 5:10-12; 39-41; Acts 21:10-14; Rom. 8:18
v. Care for your health and life. Don't keep sickness for too long because of faith. Early treatment is helpful. Apart from prayer, orthodox or herbal medication is profitable. Why must you die before your time. Do regular medical checkup. Do regular exercise. Do not indulge in excessive fasting.
vi. You will run a self-supportive ministry. Don't create a financial burden on your members. It is more dignifying to fend for yourself. When you make yourself a parasite on church members, the tendency is for you to use all kinds of tricks through false prophecies etc. to extort money from people. Emulate Paul's example. Acts 18:1-3; Acts 20:33-35; 1 Cor. 9:13-18; 2 Thess. 3:7-15
vii. Be the least among men. Luke 14:8-11
viii. Live by faith. Rom. 1:16-17
ix. Understand the rule of biblical judgment. Be careful in joining issues that is not clear to you.  Matthew 28:11-15
x. Be heavenly focused. Colossians 3:1-2; Philippians 1:23.
Thought for the day: To excel in ministry, get wisdom, get understanding and do not forsake wise counsel.
Song: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 10-11; Luke 9:1-36

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...

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...

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...
