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

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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
