TOPIC: PRISCILLA’S MENTORSHIP ROLE ON APOLLOS        November Friday 29                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
TEXT: Acts 18:24-28
KEY VERSE: Acts 18: 26  “And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.“
Priscilla and Aquila came across Apollos who knew little or nothing about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Apollos only knew about the baptism of John. Apollos spoke well of Christ but knew little of the truth of the gospel. He was a zealous man but had a deep ignorance in him. Priscilla and Aquila found Apollos as a potential material for the gospel work. Priscilla and Aquila were able to use Apollos in gospel work because he was a humble man. He accepted the true gospel of Jesus Christ after his mentorship in the ministry of Paul.This made Apollos to become a great preacher of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The scriptures above revealed Apollos’ limited knowledge about Christ. He had little or no knowledge of knowing Christ as the Lord and Personal Saviour of Mankind. Moreover, he had little or no knowledge about the Holy Spirit. He spoke and quoted scriptures about Christ but had little knowledge about Him. This means Apollos didn’t know Christ as his Lord and Personal Saviour. Priscilla and Aquila made use of Apollos by mentoring him. They recognized that Apollos could preach but still have deep ignorance in him. From their view, they knew such an inadequacy could lead Apollos to lead others astray from the true gospel teachings of Christ. Similarly, you may know how to preach to attract others, but you still need true mentorship in order to be effective in gospel work.
Priscilla knew the discipline of Paul’s ministry and had known the truth. She followed the pattern of Paul to the letter and knew the sufferings attached to the gospel. Priscilla became a true witness in Paul’s ministry to the extent that she was very committed. Many of the people at that time were new converts in Christ. They never learned or knew the truth of the gospel. But Priscilla was a true disciple of Paul in a world of ignorance. Paul was a practical example of a true minister of God. Priscilla emulated Paul’s example in reaching out to the perishing. She came at a time when other disciples have forsaken Paul. She was one of the students of Paul and learned a lot of profitable truths from him.
Thought for the day: You need true mentorship in order to be effective in gospel work.
Song for the day: See me through, Lord Jesus see me through.....
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 41-42; 2 peter 1

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...
