TOPIC: SUPPORTERS OF JESUS’ MINISTRY 

TEXT: 1 JOHN 1:1-2
1. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 

KEY VERSE: JOHN 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me. 

When Jesus was physically on earth in His mission of giving life to the men of the world, there were men and women that supported His course with their money and material resources. Although He came from Heaven to do the Will of God among men and had the full backing of God, the Father did not pour down money and material support literally from Heaven for Him to use. 

God used men and women on earth to partake in the ministry of distributing abundant life to humanity. Considering the support of Mary Magdalene and other women in Luke 8:1-3; these women were sinners who suffered much from the hand of Satan. 

Through faith in Jesus Christ, they were saved from their sins and were delivered from the power of darkness. Hence, they released their money and material resources to support the Ministry of Jesus. 

The lad with the five loaves and two fishes in John 6:5, 8-14. This lad had what was required and for the love of Christ willingly released them. What a great privilege it is to singularly sponsor a Christ-honoring program or project as this lad did. 

Mary and Martha in John 12:1-8, joyfully accommodated and fed Jesus and His disciples whenever he was in Bethany. The above passage showed how Mary ‘wasted’ great sum of money on Jesus as lamented by Judas Iscariot. On who could she had spent her best possession on if not her Savior Christ? 

Joseph of Aremathaea and Nicodemus in Matthew 27:57-60. These believers identified with the course of Christ publicly by making the best use of their human greatness and wealth In Luke 10:1-7, 

Christ disciples were also supported by men when He sent them out to without giving them anything. Christ expects those who labor for human salvation to receive the support of good-hearted recipients. Learn to support the true ministers of the gospel because they need to eat, drink and be clothed 

Thought for the day: ...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10(b)

Song for the day: Na so so wonder Jesus dey do…..

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 60-63

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...
