FOOD FOR THOUGHT: CHRISTMAS And CHURCH SERVICES – Find One Near You And Attend!

**What is CHRISTMAS – is the yearly commemoration & Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth.

**What is the CHURCH – is the voluntarily gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with each other and WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the MORNING or at start it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – The MASS Service – Celebration and Commemoration – Hebrews 10:24-25; while in the EVENING or at closing it is called BENEDICTION – Professing, Declaration, Proclamation – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is: “The GRACE – which is The ACTS of Christ; The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally: “May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit” be with you and those you care about – This Christmas. Amen.

Therefore, endeavour to attend to the Church services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. And to know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden but LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind”

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services: The Need To ABOUND And ABASED In Changing Times!

If we as a Church must be strenghtened, gracious and graceful in grace to keep on keeping on in our changing world by various factors that may come or show up as the current pandemic – we must learn from Apostle Paul to ABOUND and ABASED in everyway. Delivering this generation unto our God is only going to be effective and result oriented as we awake from set Man-Made dogmas and traditional made-up by-ways and static creeds. It’s time for the character check, a dynamic and charismatic acts of doing life with our generation in the new. For we can’t be ignorance of the devices and schemes of the enemy and cohorts in our time (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Acts 17:30-31).

I read a book many many years ago entitled “WHERE WAS THE CHURCH WHEN THE YOUTH EXPLODED’. The Church was sleeping then and took the youth of that generation for granted in not adapting to their changes of time to win them for the Lord. That generation gap created a vacuum that made many once thriving Church Worship Centres to become a deserted places, swimming pools, accommodation centres/hotels, dancing boardrooms and many such likes. In fact I saw in my visit to a particular country one turn into brothel and dance floor cum clubhouses. And so many in their dilapidated state over time.

It’s true that the Building may not be the Church as in the above paragraph cases, but it was and is a relevant gathering place to grow the Churches over the years overtime. But for failure of the Churches then not creating, adapting, innovating and initiating avenues to know and understand their upcoming youth dimensions of travel, they lost a huge generation. The impact and effect has NEVER been recovered over the years.

It’s very imperative that the Churches today wakes up before the enemy sow tares that will corrupt and degrade the Church to a place of irrelevance and from being the ANSWER to the generational changes of today’s world. We must, I say must, DELIVER THIS GENERATION of ours to God from the clutches and deception of Satan and Cohorts.

If we must set the lawful captives free and deliver this generation unto our God, we must be awake and not be sleeping in the midst of the changing times to every phase of our doing life and living godly.

It’s time to ABOUND and ABASED, ABASED and ABOUND in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL” Ephesians 3:13-16.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKENED UNTO A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 but WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

“SHALL THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MIGHTY, OR THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

NOVEMBER 2014: Envision To Be The Best?

By Leave a Comment

NOVEMBER 2014: Envision To Be The Best? Then Work And Walk At It – It’s God’s Expectations From You!

Are you a Brick Layer, Painter, Cook, Tailor, Fashion designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sorts and such like. What is your worth of services to humanity that you are excelling for. What do you see you be to you and mankind. As far as you can see, that is, to envision, so can you be in the kingdom (Genesis 13:14-18).

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you envision and determine to excel in it, for the good of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How good are you becoming in it to be the best for the good of people beyond self-centered and self gains.

It’s not in the good of the Christian faith that any should think that they can acclaimed to a field of life when and while they are poorly providing services to people and they think they can get aware with it. For example if one say, I am a painter just for the money to earn and not necessary to provide good and best services to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason for gain above good services that they are many people struggling in the Faith. God will only reward faithful stewardship to His WORD – 1 Corinthians 4:1-2. For GAIN is not GODLINESS – good living – 1 Timothy 6:5-6.

God wants us to excel in life, that is, to provide services to humanity with all diligence and prudence, orderly and decently. You can only be able to acclaim to excel and reign in life in this act of God if you can envision it. ENVISION TO REIGN, REIGN THROUGH EXCELLENCY.

As long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in partnership with God.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.

“Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST thou? And I said, I SEE a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN: for I will HASTEN my WORD to PERFORM it.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12)

“And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE men as trees, walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and SAW every man clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town” (Mark 8:22-26).

“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:12).

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17).

Leadership Is Sacrifice & Service

By Leave a Comment

1 Peter 5:1-4 “1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; 4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away”.

Matthew 20:20-28 “Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him. 21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.” 22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”They said to Him, “We are able.” 23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.” 24 And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many”.

The call to leadership in the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a call to servanthood (sacrifice, service and stewardship ministry) and not to a Lordship ministry as detailed in the above named Scriptures.

Some key guideline to true and effective leadership are thus:

  • Be a leader not  a boss
  • Lead by example
  • Have an attitude of a servant
  • Leadership is a function of humility – Philippians 2:6-8; John 13:4-11
  • Leadership must have a focus goal (know where you are going and where you are coming from). Leadership means remaining focus irrespective of the challenges.
  • Leadership must be done and approach with a perfect heart – 2 Chronicle 25:2; Jeremiah 17:9-10. Leadership action depends on the motive and  God rewards motive not only just the action. Leadership is likened to  a salt as in – Matthew 5:13. Salt is what is inside it.
  • Leadership is not glamour but a warfare. To be engaged on our fight of FAITH with satan and cohorts for human freedom & liberty in REDEMPTION.
  • Leadership is not cheap. Every pain adds to your experience. And every experience leads to your promotion. As a leader you will step on peoples toes or feet, you will be insulted and be misunderstood, but don’t misunderstand yourself when you are being misunderstood.
  • As a leader, watch your utterances, especially about death or dying – Numbers 11:11-15; 1 Kings 19:1-5.
  • Matthew 17:1-3 – Honour of God in the mount of transfiguration. As a leader, your service and motive will determine your honour & presentation. Your account of services in the kingdom of God is your reward.

Examples of Integrity In Leadership:

a. Samuel the Leader: 

1 Samuel 12:1-5 “1 Now Samuel said to all Israel: “Indeed I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you. 2 And now here is the king, walking before you; and I am old and grayheaded, and look, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my childhood to this day. 3 Here I am. Witness against me before the LORD and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.”4 And they said, “You have not cheated us or oppressed us, nor have you taken anything from any man’s hand.” 5 Then he said to them, “The LORD is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand.” And they answered, “He is witness”.

b. Barnabas the Leader:

  • Acts 1:21-26
  • Acts 4:36-37
  • Acts 9:26-28
  • Acts 12: 25
  • Acts 15:36-39
  • 2 Timothy 4:11

Finally, Here are the three tempters or enemies you need to Watch in course of Leadership:

  • Money (Finance): Money may be good, don’t love it, it does have wings and may disappear  –  Proverbs 23:5; 1 Timothy 6:10.
  • Immorality (Sex): Avoid it else it will go far towards you. It kills the anoint and the anointed. Keep far away from you for your own good. Get married if so pressured – 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 3:16-17; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.
  • Pride (Boasting): Deal with it early if you must stay top and maintain pace or position. Humility is your antidote. James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5.

Every Grace,
