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

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...
