TOPIC: COMMITMENT TO CHRISTIAN LEADERS 
TEXT: Colossians 3:22-25
KEY VERSE: Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

The whole body operates under the leadership of the head. When we travel together in a bus, there must be a driver. There must be obedience in Christian life to Christian leaders in small and great things and in simple and difficult things. Do not challenge the authority of your leader for God has made him a pastor over you. If you say he is not fit to be your leader, then you too are not fit to be his sheep. As Jesus said, if I don't wash your feet then you are not part of me. 

1.      Do as the Lord has directed. Matthew 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. If people can obey authority in secular life how much more in the church? 
2.      Grant them the full right over your soul. Hebrews 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you. Your leader should know about every aspect of your life, even your business and travels. Don't say it doesn't concern him. It is his duty to watch over you, so submit to his scrutiny. 
3.      Accounting to them as to those that will account to God. Did you fall? Don’t keep it to yourself. Account to them for they watch over your soul. 
4.      Serve faithfully and satisfactorily for their joy. Serve them so faithfully that they will be joyful to God for your commitment, availability and dedication to duty. 
5.      Avoid being a grief unto them. Don't upset them. If it happens that at the time you are needed you are not always available, you have become a grief them. If anytime you are given assignment you do it shoddily, you are a grief. If you are always causing division and sowing seed of discord among the brethren, you are a grief. 
6.      Serve under them profitably. If you serve well you too will gain wisdom, knowledge and skill as Timothy learned from Paul. 

May the Lord grant you all grace for acceptable service in his house. 

Thought for the day: Let service to your leaders honour Jesus.
Song for the day: Jesus must be honoured in my life everyday
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 3-5; John 8:1-20

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
