MISSION REPORTS & THE FEAR OF GOD
Dear MISSIONARY, If there is one thing I tell all our students at Lightbearers Bible & Missions Training Centre, especially the students in MISSIONS & EVANGELISM DEPARTMENT, it is to plead with them NEVER TO INFLATE REPORTS TO IMPRESS PARTNERS OR ANYONE AT ALL. I remember I still mentioned it this during one of our […]
THE IRREPLACEABLE ROLE OF PRESENCE IN THE GOSPEL
In the modern Church, there is often a temptation to believe that technological advancement will automatically accelerate the spread of the Gospel. While technology can certainly assist in communication, it is important we understand that it is not the primary strategy of God. A sermon can be broadcast online. A message can be shared on […]
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 […]
