When you learn from Jesus, you learn his character. He wants to change your character, identify

We also learn the work of Jesus, which is saving people. We have to get involved in the work of saving people.

There is room to put things right, Jesus preached to all categories of people.

We must learn from Jesus regarding the secret of his power. John 3:33&34.

God poured His Spirit on Jesus in full capacity, whatever Jesus did, He did under the anointing of the holy Spirit.

Its by the power of the Holy Spirit that you will be able to succeed as a Christian.

John 9:35

We need to follow up people to understand the challenges that people go thorough, so that they can be helped.

As you testify of the Grace of God, there are people who will not be happy with you, but keep on, stand up for Jesus and testify.

Why do we follow up?

1. To comfort new converts
2. To encourage new converts
3. To give hope to the converts. Etc

God wants us to grow.

The joy of every pastor is to see that the church he leads is growing, from faith to faith, from glory to glory, from strength to strength.

We need to grow despite persecution.

Growth can take place when there are things pressing you, finances, health, anxiety, stresses, but those are the good soils for the growth if your faith. Keep up hope, don't let go.

Remember that in all challenges, you are more than a conqueror.

Pray that your Faith may not fail.

With Jesus interceding for us, we shall make it, we shall grow in the grace of God.

Sunday Post-Empowered to Witness

When we partake of the Divine nature of Christ, we become empowered to become witnesses for Christ. Similarly, when we receive baptism in the Holy Ghost, we are only plugged in to be more efficient and effective witnesses of the Lord Jesus.
When we go out to witness, we ought to do so in all confidence because He who we are witnesses of, has all authority in not only heaven, but on earth too. In addition to all this, He promised to be with us until the end of time.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. This should be move motivation to witness and proclaim the word of God to His people' because, they will gain knowledge about this Faith, and consequently accept God's love through faith in Christ Jesus.

1 Tim. 2:3-4 - God wants all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. That is His plan.

Rom.10:10-14- When we proclaim the gospel, people will hear, they will then believe, accept and confess Christ as their saviour and Lord.

Matt. 28:18-20 - This is our calling, to make others be what we have become: It is God's Spirit that empowers us to do all this.
We were not only sent and empowered but also have been given an assurance of Gods presence. This should give us zeal to reach-out and proclaim the gospel.

Col.4:5- Be wise. Use every opportunity to be a witness in not only in what you say, but what you are as well. (your lifestyle). One day what you witness will materialise in the lives of those whom you have witnessed to, for the word of God does not return to Him void.

Sunday Post-Being A Witness

Let your testimony be right because we are a part of the body of Christ and we have witnessed Him in our lives. Acts 1:6-8.

Begin from where you are to prove that you are God's witness. The Holy Spirit moves us; 1 Peter 2:11-12.

Though you have been accused of doing wrong, may those around you see the good in you because you are His image and your body is His temple, lets portray what the Lord has done in us.

We shall receive power from God through the Holy Spirit and the same power shall transform those around us we shall proclaim the Lord's greatness.

As we preach the word of God during this crusade week, let our evangelism impact the society by the power that He has bestowed in us. The same power that He promised us, to those who have received Him.

Pray that the Lord will take all those that will touch and hear your word because the voltage power in you is overwhelming, its beyond any humankind power.

All that the Lord did in Jerusalem we have witnessed, for us to fulfill our purpose on earth is to portray what we have witnessed in the Lord.

Lets pray in deep faith to witness more of the Lord's greatness and thus portray His will. It is the power of God that reveals to you the wrongs you have committed.

As we repent our sins, its the power of the Holy Spirit that convicts us. Lets use the power of the Lord to confess our sins and deliver those around us from the hedge of sin.

We are "live wires" to the society so lets pray to the Lord to empower us to prove His witness in us.

Pray the Lord empowers you with the Holy Spirit to declare His greatness in you even during the crusade week.
