God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.

Jesus Christ Commissioned Paul the Apostle        

Friday June 14th

Text: Acts 9: 11 - 16
Key verse: 2 Timothy 1:1 “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus.”
Why does your preaching lack the word; lack the wisdom, application and authority of the word? That is why you cannot point to a true preacher, true converts, true mentees or people you have mentored. The members of your church will behave as you do. It takes a pastor after God's heart who is called and trained by God Himself to make others righteous, holy and true according to the will of God. It is God that gives those pastors ability to teach the holy word of truth and unite true believers in the church into one body. When Jesus quoted the word, Satan gave up. Use the word not your philosophy. Paul said I am among you as one that knows nothing except Jesus and Him crucified. Be immersed in Christ and in His word. God called Paul and gave him grace to build the church, a ministry of truth and holiness.
God gave Paul grace to the Gentiles, who were majority in the church. God gave him a calling to face the Gentiles with the mystery of truth and the life of holiness it produces. Paul said, God came to him by revelation. Let us be very careful because many people want to fight against revelation. They want to render revelation irrelevant. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever. He speaks by revelation. We are witnesses to this. So, revelation is still there. It is still working 
The apostles recognized the hand of God in the life of Paul just as the sons of the prophets recognized the power and spirit of Elijah in the life of Elisha and bowed to him. The apostles recognized the hand of the Lord upon the ministry of Paul, so much so that Peter said. “I read all the epistles of Paul and I saw that you will need grace to understand his writings. It even requires a maturity to understand.” (Paraphrased) That is what Peter said of Paul. Paul also was so confident of himself that he said God had given the ministry of reconciliation to him. 

Thought for the day: The apostles recognized the hand of God in the life of Paul  

Song for the day: Paul and Silas, they prayed, they sang, the Holy Ghost came down

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 50-55

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
