Engaging in evangelical works

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM
TOPIC- ENGAGING IN EVANGELICAL WORKS
TEXT- ROMANS 1:16, 1 COR 9:16
INTRODUCTION
To win a soul is to catch that soul for the Lord; to see him added to the Lord, not merely to the local church attendance. Every soul is won by the Lord Himself but He uses and is dependent upon his children for the accomplishment of his purpose. We are to be used to introduce Christ to the needy souls- John 1:40-42
A GOING CHURCH - MARK 16:15-18
A going church is a growing church likewise the going Christian. You must engage in the operation “go ye” to grow in the right pattern of Christ Jesus. God gives the ”going anointing” and not “a staying anointing”. The availability of ready vessels causes the oil to keep flowing – 2 Kings 4:6
Jesus Christ went about – Acts 10:38
Jonah went to Nineveh- Jonah 1:2
Paul & Barnabas went out- Acts 13:1-4
Timothy was sent- 1 Cor 4:17
We should be a going church – Matthew 28:19-20.
USE YOUR BEST
As Christians, we must discover our unique approaches to soul winning individually. Focus on them in order to grow effectively as a soul winner. There is no strict approach to evangelize rather our major aim should be to win souls.
Come and see or come and hear approaches - John 4:28-29, Ps 66:16
Friendship approach - 1 Cor 9:19-23, Mark 2:15-17
Public / Mass approach – Acts 3:7-13;19, Matthew 5:1-2, Acts 13:14-17
Family/household approach – Acts 10:23-26, 34-38, Luke 19:1-9
Care approach - Acts 4:32-37
Gospel cry or morning cry approaches - Isaiah 40:3, John 1:23, Matthew 3:1-12
Electronic / internet approaches – Proverbs 11:30 - following communication trends for soul winning is a sign of divine wisdom.
SPONSORING EVANGELICAL WORKS –EXODUS 25:1-8, COL 3:23
Every Christian should at least have a yearly or quarterly plan of evangelism. Jesus Christ told us about his concern fro this work of soul winning and this should be our focus too - John 9:5. As stewards unto God, we are expected to use our time, money and talent in the work of soul winning – 1 Cor 4:2, 1 Kings 4:8-17. He shunamite sponsored Elisha’s outreach ministry by providing food and accommodation and the Lord blessed her. John 6:4-12, Mark 14:3-9
CONCLUSION
John 12:26- “ If any man serve me, let him follow me: and where I am, there shall also my servant bee: if any man serve me, him will my father honour.

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...
