MAKING FISHERS OF MEN 2

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM

TOPIC- MAKING FISHERS OF MEN 2

TEXT- MARK 1:17-22

INTRODUCTION
Last week studied and understood the four major points that Jesus Christ used in the making of his disciples so that they can be effective soul winners. Today our aim is to be made fishers of men according to God’s will.
Let us in sincerity answer these questions below:
Ever since you became a believer, have you experienced the salvation of another person through your life or preaching? If yes, how long ago?
Can you make a list of people who are strong in their faith and are growing spiritually because of your own Christian life?
WE ARE ALL CHRIST EMPLOYEES- MATTHEW 28:18-19, JOHN 20:21
The call of salvation is a spiritual enrolment into the office of responsibility as a soul winner; it is not a call into laziness, selfishness and lukewarmness- John 9:4, Luke 9:57-62. Soul winning is a product of spiritual wisdom- Proverb 11:30, Daniel 12:2-3, Dan 12:2-3. The world needs Jesus but they cannot have him without you – Acts 8:26-31.
YOU MUST BE DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD – JOHN 15:19, 2 COR 6:17, 1 PETER 2:9
This world has its own twisted, distorted and perverted pattern of values and priorities. We must stand out and be peculiar. Let go of worldliness and seek for eternal glory alone. We have been warned- Romans 12:2. Do not look at their faces rather look at the face of Jesus Christ. The makeup of this world- 1 John 2:16. Any worldly lover does not love God- 1 John 2:15. The final place of the world and the righteous- 1 John 2:17. Live your life as a Christian, never to be a debtor to the world.
YOU MUST BE LIKE A LAMB- LUKE 10:3
Jesus Christ does not send wolves against wolves. He sends lambs, wolves will destroy the harvest. Jesus remains the slain Lamb of God- John 1:29-30, Rev 5:12, Rev 13:8. Saul had to become Paul before he could be a vessel of honour unto God- Acts 9. Our salvation came through Jesus Christ as the lamb. A lamb must be a sacrifice, teachable and with great conviction of his faith- 1 thess 1:5-8.
MUST I WAIT FOR THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? – ACTS 1:8, 2:1-4
Although the baptism of the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in a Christian’s life but we must not wait for it before we can go out for soul winning. The following scriptures can help us:
The Samaritan woman – John 4:25-29
The Lord sent the seventy – Luke 10:1-10
Jesus sent the twelve disciples- Mark 6:7-13
iv)      Gospel crusade by the healed leper – Mark 1:41-45
 Jesus sent the man delivered from demonic possessions to Decapolis(ten cities)- Mark 5:18-20
Conclusion – Isaiah 6:8 – “Also I heard the voice of the Lord with whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I send me.”

Abundance inspite of austerity

TOPIC- ABUNDANCE INSPITE OF AUSTERITY LESSON 2- PRINCIPLES OF ABUNDANCE 2 TEXT- 2 COR 9:10, 2 SAM 24:23-24, GEN 26 The blessings of God will cover our lives when we sow throughout all areas of our lives. If we sow in the church, home, work, with friends and strangers we will reap in all those areas. Wherever the waters of God are flowing fro us, we should sow. If we spend our days giving, we will spend our days reaping. A ) THE SEED SOWN MULTIPLIES – LUKE 6:38, JOHN 6:9-14 There is a common saying “a bird at hand is worth two in the bush”, but in spiritual law, a seed released is worth hundreds yet to be received. The power in your seed to multiply is activated by its release. Your seed is what you sow, your faith is why it multiplies. Our seed multiplies at varying levels, but the lowest level the Word promises is thirty fold – Matthew 13:8. What conditions can affect the level of multiplication of our seed? I) Attitude – 2 Cor 9:7, Acts 5:1-10 II) Obedience to God’s word – Is...

Destiny Fulfilment

THEME: DESTINY FULFILMENT LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TEXT: ISAIAH 60:11 Our success in life is tied to the fulfilment of our divine destiny. Destiny could mean the things that will happen in the future or the force that controls what happens in the future and is outside human control. We should view destiny as something that is discoverable and not decisive. God decides our destiny and we discover it. Proverb 16:9, Proverb 20:24. This year God has assured us of destiny fulfilment. 1) Every man has a destiny: Exodus 2:1-10, Exodus 3:9-12 There is a divine purpose behind every divine destiny. Nobody is in the world as a mistake - we are divinely sent, placed and equipped- Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 37:23. One of the major role of God in a man's life is to ordain his destiny in him and guide him to accomplish it. 2) Man's Role in destiny fulfilment: Genesis 1:27-31, Genesis 3:14-18 Remember that God made man to be a co-creator. To the Christian man, he is the visible and tangible ...

The relevance of the Christian Youth

THE RELEVANCE OF THE CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN THE 21ST CENTURY TEXT- 1 TIMOTHY 4:12-13 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine”. These were the words of Apostle Paul to timothy; the great apostle used this to warn every youth that no man is lawfully permitted to useless their lives or to take undue advantage of their living. Youths should know their God and serve the one true God in their youthful age. Every Christian youth must rise and shine because the earth has been given to God‘s people to bring down the Kingdom of God to this world and for the propagation of the gospel to places where Jesus Christ is not yet glorified. God has bestowed a lot abilities and privileges to the youths; the youths are much closer to development and the trend of things in the society so this gives them an edge in knowing the things...
