LAYING IT ALL ASIDE TO SERVE

May 3rd – Capsule 3

TOPIC: LAYING IT ALL ASIDE TO SERVE

BIBLE TEXT: He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel ……… and began to wash the disciple’s feet – John 13 vs. 4 – 5

They would never forget this night. Jesus alone had the right to be called Master, but HE laid it aside to serve. Paul said “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus …….. Who took the form of a servant” (Philippians 2 vs. 5 – 7).

The secret of great ministry lies in what we lay aside to respond to God’s call. Laying aside things we most enjoy, laying aside the comforts of home to go where His name hasn’t been heard. Things we enjoy the most, to experience those that few will ever know.

There are evangelists, pastors and workers, who never sold a tape or write a book, never drew a picture of a crowd, nor gained national fame, but they paid the price. Like Noah, whose membership never exceeded eight souls, they ministered faithfully. They wanted to do more, and they thought they would go further. But they laid it all aside to serve the few. They said, “If I am not called to help everybody, then please God let me help somebody”. Child of God, ask yourself today, “Am I willing to lay it all aside to follow Him?”

Prayer: Jesus give me the grace to lay aside all to serve you.

Insight: It’s one of the most important question you will ever answer.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

FELLOWSHIP

Date 📅 24th November, 2022 Topic Fellowship (koinonia) Living Scripture Matthew 18:20 KJV For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Wherever believers are gathered in the name of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, there the Lord comes to fellowship. In heaven the celestials cease not to give due worship to God and the LAMB of God, it's a constant tradition of divine communion and fellowship. It is not every gathering that men calls Jesus Christ that he attends, the scripture states that these candidates for fellowship must be in the name of Jesus Christ. They must be saved to even think of gathering for the purpose of intimacy and fellowship. Two thieves were hung up on the cross with the person of Christ, but only one that repented and believed in the Kingdom of Heaven and Christ, that received attention from Jesus. To gather in fellowship with the Lord as a family this morning, we must all be in Him. Our devotion will not be c...
