Knowledge And Practice Of The Scriptures Make The Minister

Text: 2 Timothy 3:15-17 

Sunday, January 7th

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
A true ministry produces a true preacher by directing that preacher to the word of God. It is the word that raises true ministers. It is the word that raises true and holy converts. So, a true minister preaches the sound word of God and the fruit of it is sound Christians that are being produced. 
Knowledge and understanding are from the holy scriptures. Preach the scriptures because many preachers today only quote one verse from the bible, in fact, they do not open the bible. For some, the preacher will be quoting here and telling stories there and nothing happens in the life of those people. It is the knowledge and obedience of the scriptures that makes a man spiritual. It says of Timothy that from a child he was committed to the scripture and was made wise from the scriptures. The scripture makes you have faith in Christ. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for teaching character and lifestyle. It is to be used to correct, rebuke, and reproof people when they go off from the path of righteousness. It is used to instruct people on the way they should live. 
By the scriptures, the man of God may be perfect truly furnished unto all good works but if the preacher does not use the scriptures, he will produce fruits after his kind. His people will love to laugh during services because he will be telling them stories. Some spend more time dancing. They have no scriptures to tell the people. They cannot move from scripture to scripture. They do not have it. They do not read it. During our conferences, our preachers testify of how God has helped them read the Bible with commentaries from the beginning of the year till date, how many messages they have listened to, the number of books read and even total hours of prayers, number of days in fasting and even number of souls won in evangelism.

Thought for the day: Knowledge and obedience of scriptures makes a man spiritual

Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver …

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 24-25

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 Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
