TOPIC: MINISTERIAL ETHICS THAT PROMOTE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST
TEXT: MARK 7:6-8
WEDNESDAY AUGUST 23RD
Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order”
The church of God must operate orderly for our God is not the author of confusion. A minister or a true child of God needs to moderate himself void of worldliness. The appearance of a minister matters a lot. You are representing the Holy God or performing service for the Holy God and must be decent in your appearance. Avoid worldliness in your hairdo. Desist from funny hairstyles such as punk, perming, bleaching your skin, and wearing trousers as a woman. Avoid incomplete gospel: Matthew 28:20 says to teach them to observe all things. Don’t leave out anything about heaven and hell; what to strive to achieve to enter heaven and what to avoid to escape hell.
Teach them the holiness of the soul, spirit, and body to present them as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God. Exalt God’s word above the tradition of men. Preach the truth and save souls from hell. Avoid comedy gospel that keeps people busy laughing and remove the soberness that true gospel brings about. It does not take to heaven. Unholy drama does not convert sinners. Take away dancing from the church, Jesus sang a hymn so don’t introduce sinners to dancing instead the word of God breaks sin. Manage the resources of God righteously for you will give account of how you treat God’s money. It is not your company 1 Timothy 6:10.
Employ a righteous method of counseling, especially with the opposite sex. Let it be in the open. Avoid any appearance of evil, 1 Thessalonians 5:22. Be careful who you choose as a Mentor: Follow someone to the point that he follows Christ. If he refuses to follow righteousness and holiness, treat him as an expired drug. Don’t follow a sinner and claim he is your mentor, 1 Corinthian 11:1. Payment of tithe tithes is not applicable in the new testament. A ministry is already a storehouse (Malachi 3:10). It is the individuals who earn income that pays tithe, not a church.
Thought for the day: It is the word of God that takes to heaven, emphasis it.
Song for the day: Open my eyes O Lord, Hallelujah 3x I am ready to obey 2x
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 119:105-176; 1 Corinthians 5
