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 ...

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.

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 –  Ma...

Personal self development

PERSONAL SELF DEVELOPMENT MAIN TEXT-2 CORINTHIANS 3:18, 2 PETER 3:18 INTRODUCTION Personal development is very important for a Christian who wants to fulfill all that God has deposited inside of him. Christians are to be making progress. 1 Peter 1:5. We are supposed to be in that progress of being changed from glory to glory into the image of Christ. When there is no more a continuous departure of self, giving way for the fullness of Christ and his calling upon your life in your personal development, then it is incomplete. John 3:30, John 12:24-25, Eccl 10:10 DEVELOPING ACCORDING TO A CERTAIN PATTERN –ISAIAH 64:8, ISAIAH 29:16  First, there must be the knowledge and understanding of the unique pattern God wants you to develop into-Exodus 25:40. Personal development for a Christian is not a blind pursuit or one with trials and errors-Hebrew 8:5, Genesis 6:15-17. God is the potter and we are the clay. The potter works with different shapes of moulds. As a Christian do you kno...
