TOPIC: EMULATE PAUL’S EXEMPLARY LIFE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY
TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:10-14
KEY VERSE: Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Apostle Paul lived an exemplary life in Christian ministry. In today’s key verse, we see Paul boldly commending his lifestyle as a Christian leader to his followers. 1Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. He was not ashamed to say this because his conscience bore him witness that he lived a life that was 100% pleasing to God and worthy of emulation. His conscience bore him witness that there was no secret sin or anything that could bring reproach to the name of the Lord in his life. Act 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. As Paul was following Christ wholeheartedly, he was dragging people along with him.  It means if you too can take the lead in your Christian life, and others will follow.

Paul’s life became a standard measure of good behaviour and godliness. Philippians 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Paul was saying, “I have demonstrated my life before you, those things you have seen and learned, follow them; they will take you to heaven.  If you continue in them, you will see God’s presence in your life and ministry. You will see God performing and doing wonders in your life and ministry. You will see people’s lives change through your ministry. You will see divine blessings flow to you.” 2 Timothy 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. In this scripture, God is telling Timothy that even though you may not understand everything, just follow because you know the lifestyle of those people. You can see the sincerity and truth in them.  Just follow. 1Th 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe. As this scripture is saying, “You have already seen our life as we led by example; you know our lifestyle, our fervency, our truth, the doctrine we taught. Submit yourself to them and they will profit your soul.” Paul’s standard of life is worthy of emulation by every true believer. A life that sets good example for others and draws them to Christ. Make this the testimony of your life.

Thought for the day: Make your life a testimony of godly character and good behaviour.
Song for the day: May life shall be a testimony … To the glory of the Lord
Bible reading for the day:
Numbers 30-31; Mark 9:30-50

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...
