Important Ministry

DATE - June 20th, 2022

TOPIC - Important Ministry

BIBLE TEXT - One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Dedicate Barnabas and Saul for the special work I have for them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way. - Acts 13:2-3







Many of us get so enthusiastically wrapped up in the work of the Lord that we forget the God we serve. So busy do we become in ministering to others that we don’t take time to minister to the Lord himself. But as the account in today’s verses shows, the Holy Spirit’s divine direction to send out Paul and Barnabas to spread the gospel in Asia Minor came to men who were worshiping and fasting. Ministering to the Lord bears deeply significant fruit in our lives as well.

Perhaps today you have a full schedule of activities and responsibilities: tasks you need to perform and deadlines you need to meet, children who need your care, people who need ministry or encouragement or the skills you can provide. But don’t neglect the most important ministry of all—ministering to the Lord. As you take time to adore and worship him, you will be better equipped for those other tasks, and you will be in a position to receive God’s direction for your life as well.




PRAYER
LORD, I worship and adore you. Let me not become so consumed with the good things that I want to do for others and you that I neglect the best thing—bowing before you in worship and praise and seeking your direction for my life daily in prayer. Draw me into daily worship and communion with you.

INSIGHT
God wants worshippers before workers; indeed the only acceptable workers are those who have learned the lost art of worship.

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
