Knowledge And Practice Of The Scriptures Make The Minister

Wednesday 10th December

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:15-17  
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 up true ministers. It is the word that raises up 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 comes from the holy scriptures. Preach the scriptures because many preachers today only quote one verse from the bible, in fact they do not open 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 scripture, 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 understanding comes from the holy scriptures 

Song for the day: Lord, teach me Your word

Bible reading for the day: Philippians 1-4

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...
