It is really a vitally important part of Church life to be Teaching the Word of God. When we are taught the Word of God this helps us to spiritually grow as Believers. Different Churches put their emphasis on various activities but the Church that puts its emphasis on Teaching the Word of God will surely be pleasing the Lord!

We should never discount the possibility of miracles being performed by True Believers and in the Churches today. There are times that miracles can draw unbelievers to the Lord. I have had the privilege of seeing such incidents! Let us Believe God that in our Churches, Outreaches and Evangelical efforts we shall witness Unusual Miracles.

Sisters in our Churches have an important part to play, not only in their service, but also in their social lives. Every member of the Church, whether brothers, sisters or young people, needs to be cared for and taught how to care for others too! The Pastoral Ministry within the Churches needs to be valued and esteemed. 

We Should Identify With Our Offerings!

 

'

(Through this Second one I find A Mighty Miracle)

PRAY: For the Gospel of Christ to be preached in our Churches.

---------

Chris.

Humility is the correct attitude to have in Christian Worship, whatever part of Worship it may be! When secrecy shrouds Worship Offerings, that really leads the way to an open door for abuse and deception. The Churches need to be open about financial matters and that includes its practical outgoings such as salaries, love gifts and mission offerings.

Making Sensible Decisions!

☺☝

 ‘Making Sensible Decisions.’

Acts 19:8-10.

Apostle Paul had begun the Lord’s ministry in Ephesus in helping to plant a Church among them. Ephesus was a heathen city, it was not easy to plant the Church. There was the need for making sensible decisions so that this Church could grow and be fruitful.

a)     Acts 19:8. Paul went to preach in the synagogue for three months, arguing persuasively about the Kingdom of God.

b)    Acts 19:9. Some people were rejecting Paul’s message and speaking publicly against “The Way”. Paul then left the synagogue ministry, he took the Believers with him and began to teach daily in the School of Tyrannus, a sensible decision.

c)     Acts 19:10. Paul spent two years in that place so that many Jews and Gentiles heard God’s Message.

(Through this QT I find that it is important to be Making Sensible Decisions)

‘Blessings The Lord Gives To Us.’

a)     Luke 1:67-75; 2:14. Covenant.

f)      Isaiah 54:17; 2 Peter 2:9; Psalm 7:8-10. Covering.

(Through this Second one I am so grateful for the wonderful Blessings The Lord Gives To Me)

Chris.

God is a God of Covenants. We read of these Covenants right throughout the Scriptures. He delights in keeping Covenant with His People. We need to trust God and the Covenants that He makes with us and respond to them well. The Covenants are to do with God’s people, their Churches, their families, and individual Believers.

 

 

 

We Sometimes Need A Guide!'

 "We Sometimes Need A Guide."

Acts 8:31.

c)  'How could I?'

'The Humility Of Christ.'

PRAY: To learn from The Epistle to the Philippians.

-------

Chris.

Before we focus on any other Biblical Doctrine and Truth, we need to focus on the Death and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ! If we have this correct focus, we can both grow well and serve well as True Believers. May our Churches have this focus as a part of their "ministry plan".

The Place Where Our Offerings Should Go!

'Righteousness And Justice.'

Psalm 37:6.

a)  He will bring forth your righteousness

(This Second shows me that Righteousness And Justice go hand-in-hand)

PRAY: That Righteousness and Justice will have an important part in our lives.

------

Chris.

Psalm 37 is an excellent source for meditation. It is good to remember what God wants to do in our lives. He wants to bring forth our righteousness! When our lives manifest Godly Righteousness, we will surely give Glory to Him. Let us consider Psalm 37 well.
