EQUIPPING YOURSELF FOR OTHERS*

*EQUIPPING YOURSELF FOR OTHERS* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*"And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;"* (John 17:19-20 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

YOU'RE a solution to your generation. You're an answer to the prayer of your parents. You're an answer to the cry of revival from a local church or group of people. You're someone's making in a sense. Someone took extra mile steps so that you can turn out well, maybe your parents or your teachers, or your pastors or your mentors or even all of the above. Therefore, you are not permitted to live for self. You must equip yourself for the sake of your generation. 

Your salvation is not for your sake alone. Your seriousness with God, your studies, your purpose and your calling is not for your good alone. Your dedication to your work, is not for your selfish wants to be satisfied alone. You are to be equipped for the sake of those whose future, salvation and deliverance and prosperity depends on you. Jesus had to seek sanctification for the sake of his disciples, from the twelve down to everyone of us today that believe in His name. 

If Jesus could carry on till the end, because He realized that you and I and the entire world, depend on His sacrifice, His sanctification and his assignment's fulfilment, how much more you and I? We can't afford to live selfish and direction-less lives. That habit of lying, that spirit of fornication, that spirit of breaking other people's heart through your unseriousness, that spirit of malice and anger, that spirit of pornography and masturbation, is actually not dealing with you alone. If you don't sanctify yourself, you will pass unto your children, and several others who will look up to you, the same poor brand of Christian faith and lifestyle. 

Unless we arise, and overcome that besetting failure in morals, habits and lifestyle, we are going to become a poor and bad example of leaders, parents, and believers. For the sake of your generation, arise from your slumber. Arise from your un-seriousness with God. For the sake of your children, arise from your lack of focus and ambition. For the sake of the host of heaven, hoping on our generation, to bring back the King of Kings, may we not fail God. 

*MEDITATION:*
*For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?* (Esther 4:14 (KJV))

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
