MAKING THE MAN THAT MAKES THE MINISTRY

God bless you for taking your time to study.

MAKING THE MAN THAT MAKES THE MINISTRY.

TEXT: MATTHEW 7:24-27
 
MONDAY OCTOBER 24th

Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
I liken the successful man to a wise man that laid his foundation upon a rock. He dug deep but there was much waste of time according to you, after you have gone far, maybe there is a waste of materials, waste of energy, and waste of money but it is successful in the sight of God. It is the foundation of everlasting success. Many people measure success in ministry by large membership, wide coverage, and having churches in various places. God does not think like that. Do not consider success by how much wealth you have gathered; you started your ministry not long ago and now you are making it. 
What do structure, a large congregation, and wide coverage mean to God when souls are not saved and none among them is fit for heaven? Will you congratulate a farmer who farmed a large portion of land but could not make a good harvest because the rain did not come in time? If you congratulate him what will he tell you? Successful farmers are those that harvest much and measure success in the number of bags harvested. How many souls have you brought to God? It is as you preach the gospel, labor over souls, and cause them to repent and submit their lives to Christ that we can say you are succeeding because souls have been saved, making heaven rejoice. 
You are succeeding when believers under your care stand on truth, holiness, and righteousness. You are succeeding when you are bringing people to Christ and causing them to know the righteousness and holiness of Christ and they accept the word and get established in the faith. That is a successful ministry. The word preached, received, and acted upon with results of holiness and righteousness is the yardstick for success. Success is when a believer is victorious over sin, Satan, and the world until he enters heaven by death or rapture.

Thought for the day: Dig deep for enduring ministry.

Song for the day: I will dig a little deeper Jesus' love must be sweeter…

Bible reading for the day: 
Jeremiah 11-13; 1 Timothy 4

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
