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

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...
