THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IN MINISTRY 

FRIDAY AUGUST 26th

TEXT: JOSHUA 1:1-9

Key verse: Romans 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Books have been written on ministerial success and people have organized seminars and conferences on success but then we want to hear what God has to say about success in ministry. Success is based on the book of God. It comes from commitment to the book of God; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. It comes from knowing what is in the book of God, committing yourself to what is in the book of God, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. Success comes from careful obedience to the book of God. This is the sure way of success; then thou shalt make thy ways prosperous and then thou shall have good success. Success of God is a good one unlike that of men.
Success in ministry means doing the ministry work in total obedience, compliance to the specification of God. ‘See that thou build the tabernacle according to the vision that I showed to you on the mount.’ That is success; working out a ministry in the way God instructed it, the way it is penned down in the book of God. That is where the problem is with mankind. Many are not ready to run the ministry according to the book of God and that is why they fail. Their ministries are never based on the book of God. How can they succeed? Those things they call success are not success. They do not last and are not valuable because they are not based on the book of God. Success in this sense is a spiritual word and man may not measure it aright. The success that is measurable by man is often a bad one because you may not be able to measure that which God has said since the word of God is eternal. That which you are doing has eternal bearing which your finite mind may not comprehend but if you can do according to specification you shall succeed. Yes that which we may think is not success is actually success in the sight of God. For instance, you need not condemn yourself over things of which you are actually successful.

Thought for the day: Good success comes from obedience to the word of God.

Song for the day: Give me that old-time religion

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 128-131; 1Corinthians 7:25-40

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...
