WE ARE TO MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT JUST CONVERTS

For taking your time to study remain blessed.

WE ARE TO MAKE DISCIPLES, NOT JUST CONVERTS
TEXT: MARK 16:15-20 
Key verse:  “Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that 
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever 
ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16).

The Great Commission is all inclusive. The scope is the world, covering all peoples and tribes and nations. These have their norms and traditions, life styles and inclinations. We should preach with the aim of converting those we preach to. This is achieved by lifting up Jesus before men, telling them the truth, bringing them to repentance and faith in Christ.

God expects us to mature those who have accepted the gospel of Christ and make them conform to the image of Christ. Our aim is to do the following:
· Dissolve the convert's man-made traditions, human philosophies and make him conform to biblical doctrine and standard. 
· Change his personal, family and tribal inclinations to the inclination and  orientation of the new man in Christ. 
· Change his outward comportment and make him comply to biblical standard of Christian dressing.
· Remove his heart from the pleasures of this world and make him heaven-focused.
· Establish him in the word to enable him live a life of holiness.
· Make him know how to personally love the Lord, commune with the  Lord and be in increasing fellowship with Him.
· Train him on soul-winning to enable him convert and disciple others  as service to the Lord in hope of eternal rewards.
The Great Commission is an urgent assignment. Let all hands be on deck. 

Thought for the day: I will make you fishers of men. 
Song for the day: Here am I, send me. 
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 36-37; 1 Peter 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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
