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...

THEME: BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF PROSPERITY TOPIC: FIRST FRUIT AND SEED FAITH TEXT: GEN 3: 15, GEN 22: 1-3 MATHEW 26:6-13 We shall see the potency of giving: Potency is the power of something to effect, the strength or influence on the mind or body.

Jesus Christ is the first fruit. He sows as a seed by faith. Vow was made in the book of Gen 3:15. John 3:16. Our God is a giving God. The creation story is the account of God’s gifts to mankind giving played a great part in the social life of Bible time’s believers. They used many words to express it in the Bible.

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...

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...

THEME- UNDERSTANDING LIFE PURPOSE TOPIC- UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF GOD IN US TEXT- GENESIS 1:26-28 A. THE GLORY IN MAN- GENESIS 1:26-28, GENESIS 2:7 There is no greater purpose in life than to expose your personal glory. It is a fact of creation that every living thing possesses its own glory and exists for the purpose of manifesting that glory. If the greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without a purpose, then the greatest shame in life is not revealing your true glory- MATTHEW 5:16. The issue of glory is the most important aspect of creation and that it holds the key to fulfillment and personal satisfaction. The word glory in its fundamental meaning connotes such concepts as “full weight,” “true nature,” “full essence” or “true reality.”Therefore, the glory of a thing is its true essence and nature. The Creator designed all things with their glory, or true essence, buried within. Therefore glory is the hidden truth of all created things. The purpose of life is to m...
