Knowing God's will

KNOWING GOD’S WILL
MAIN TEXT: PSALM 143:10
“Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God. Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness”.
1 THESSALONIANS 5:18
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


God wants you to know His will; He’s not trying to hide it from you; Do you believe that? So often Christians genuinely wonder and even worry about how to know and do the will of God. You will learn to do the following:
- Believe and experience daily God’s infinite love for you. Hear when God is speaking to you.
- Identify God’s unmistakable activity in your life.
- Believe God to be and do everything He promised.
- Identify the direction God is taking in your life and recognize what he wants to do through you; know dearly how to respond to what God shows you.
- Experience God doing through you what only He can do.
When we understand and know the will of God, the work of God becomes easy to do and it will be done without stress and struggle. When we are working outside the will of God, we struggle and will not achieve good result.
It is important to know God’s will. Jesus said that His true relations are those who know and do the Father’s will: “whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother”. Mark 3:35. In the parable of the two sons, Jesus rebuked the Chief Priest and elders for failing to do the will of the Father, specifically; they did not repent and believe. Matthew 21:32.
At its most basic, the will of God is for us to repent of our sins and trust in Christ. If we have not taken that first step, then we have not yet accepted God’s will.
DO GOD’S WILL AND GOD WILL BOAST ABOUT YOU
SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES: 1 PETER 2:15, MICAH 6:8

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...

Introduction to Divine purpose

THEME: UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIVINE LIFE PURPOSE LESSON ONE: INTRODUCTION MAIN TEXT – PROVERBS 16:1-11 1) DEFINITION Well, there are multiple interpretations of what life purpose is. It may be called a spiritual calling and it can also be seen it as a higher instruction from God. Beyond religious connotations, a life purpose is simply your life’s message. It is the message you wish to drive in the world during your existence on Earth. Having a life purpose applies to all of us, whether we are religious, non-religious, or atheistic. This means that we are made by God to accomplish his desire in our living, so all must come to Him for directions.- Jeremiah 1:4-12. Well, a life purpose is the first step toward living a truly conscious life of your creation. While you can be busy with a million goals and tasks every day, when you don’t have a clear purpose (one that you believe in with your heart), you may well be barking up the wrong tree. That’s because your goals and tasks may well h...

Follow-up

THEME- POPULATING GOD’S KINGDOM TOPIC- FOLLOW UP TEXT- ACTS 15:36-41 INTRODUCTION The term follow up is scriptural and it is very important if we need a healthy, mature and established church. Follow up is likened to the mother-child relationship. A mother that gives birth to a child should stay close to the child and nuture him. Although we have follow-up department in the church, the work to follow up new believers is for every Christian. QUALITIES OF A GOOD FOLLOW UP CHRISTIAN WORKER POSSESS THE RIGHT PASSION- ACTS 15:36, ROM 15:24, PHIL 1:3-8, 1 THESS 3:5-10. Paul had a great concern for the welfare of the converts of their missionary journey. A soul winner needs to give more priority and attention to follow up converts until the babes in Christ are built up to be disciples. POSSESS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND APPROACH- 2 PETER 1:5-7, MATTHEW 5:14-16 The follow up worker must be natural and friendly. He must be very courteous. Keep to appointments. The follow up workers m...
