THE COST OF OBEDIENCE
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” – Luke 9:23 The Church must confront a TRUTH that is glaringly obvious and it is that the Gospel is free, but obedience is costly. We celebrate REVIVAL. We pray for the HARVEST. We sing […]
THE CALL TO MISSIONS
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20 The Church today faces […]
BUILDING A LASTING APOSTOLIC LEGACY
If we do not labour deliberately and pay close attention to DISCIPLESHIP, then it means all our works, Church plants, sermons, crusades, outreaches, conferences, and the countless hours of sweat and sacrifice, will eventually die and time will erase the evidence. The communities we touched will look as though nothing ever happened there because the […]
BE THE REVIVAL YOU WANT TO SEE
We have SPOKEN, TAUGHT, WARNED, PLEADED, and REASONED from the Scriptures. Light has been released with CLARITY, PATIENCE, and CONSISTENCY. Yet it is evident that for some, hearing has not translated into obedience, and knowledge has not become transformation. At this point, further arguments will not birth repentance, and louder explanations will not produce consecration. […]
MINISTRY, WEALTH & THE MEASURE OF MAN
I write as a STEWARD OF TRUTH who understands that words spoken today become foundations for generations coming and I understand fully that SILENCE IN THE FACE OF IMBALANCE IS PERMISSION AND CONSENT. Someone made a statement recently with confidence, saying I CANNOT FOLLOW A POOR PASTOR and it has caused a lot of arguments. […]
DEAR MINISTER
Never allow your heart to be SEDUCED by the temptation to turn STONES TO BREAD. Many have done so and regretted it with some carrying what I call SPIRITUAL APPENDICES which are unnecessary growths that are born of COMPROMISE, which are tolerated at first, but capable of quietly infecting and eventually killing the work […]
UNTIL THE LAST VILLAGE HEARS (1)
The Great Commission is the mandate of the Church, and all who belong to Christ are sent; also missions is not a department of the Church but the calling of every believer. Not everyone is called to cross oceans, but everyone is called to bear responsibility. Some will go. Some will stay and send. Some […]
WHAT IS THE BUINESS OF THE BELIEVER?
Who is JESUS? What is the work of THE HOLY SPIRIT in the believer? How does a man live the life of RIGHTEOUSNESS? What does it truly mean to be FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT? How should a believer deal with sin? What is the NATURE and POSTURE of the human heart before God? What […]
DISCIPLESHIP IN MISSION
The mission of God, as revealed in Scripture, is accomplished through discipleship. Jesus Christ did not commission the Church to merely win converts, but to make disciples who live in obedience to His teachings and reproduce His life in others. His final command was for us to “Go ye therefore, and TEACH all nations… teaching […]
WHAT IS DISCIPLESHIP?
Matthew 28:16-20; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 12 What is discipleship and what is Jesus calling us to in Matthew 28:18-20? Is this a command, or a suggestion; does it mean we are just to evangelize and let people find their faith on their own, or does this mean we are to lead others and teach […]
