Servant Leadership

It has been variously stated that the crisis in Africa, and some part of the world which is also responsible for her underdevelopment, is not lack of resources (because Africa is the most endowed continent on the globe) but it is lack of authentic leadership. This lack is expressed in three fundamental areas:

1. lack of Servant Leaders

2. lack of impeccable leaders,

3. And massive manifestation of mediocrity.

My Brother’s Keeper

Jesus tells us, “Free you have received freely give” (Matt10:8). Our devotion to God is seen in how we care for others. When we truly love God, we respond with His heart of compassion to those around us. Jesus is there to help us meet those needs if we ask Him, listen to Him and do what he says.
“Opportunity to give and to show compassion are all around us. Start today with those in your Church who are need of support ---- what is being done now? What more can be done? What groups, local or international, support the needy? Can you help them today? Ask the Holy Spirit’s guidance in how and who to help.
Key Verse

Text for today: Matthew 7:13-29 You will know them by their fruits Has Christianity become easier or more difficult to practice today than when it first began? Read carefully Matthew 7 vs.13-14. Which way does Christ Jesus recommend for those who wish to have eternal life? The massive proliferation of prophets and teachers into the Christian arena in African and even European countries today is amazing! How are we to determine the true prophets and teachers from the false ones? Jesus says watch their fruit. Read Matthew 7 vs.15-23 again. In recent times, the media in some countries have exposed the idolatrous and adulterous practices of some of these self-acclaimed prophets and teachers. Note from Christ's word sin Matthew 7 vs. 21-23 that performing miracles and even the use of the name of Jesus does not necessarily imply that the person is a true prophet or teacher of God. The Gospel of salvation in Christ Jesus has been preached to many today, and especially through Christian ... Read more »

The log in your eye

Matthew7:1-12

vs2, 3 says

Do you realize how easy it is to criticize others? Others talk too much, others are greedy, others gossip and many more vices which others commit. How about you? Take a piece of paper and quickly write down some of the vices you suspect yourself to be guilty of. This is what Christ is talking about in Matthew 7vs. 1-5. Ask God to forgive you your own sin of criticizing others.

Live for Christ and not for Yourself

 

If you’re still alive, one possible reason is that God still has important work to do through

you. But perhaps you’re not doing God’s work at all. In that case, perhaps God has a very

different reason for keeping you alive. Perhaps it’s because you're not ready to die. You're still far from Christ, and God knows you wouldn't be better off dead. God knows that if you had died last night, you'd be in hell right now, suffering forever with no escape. You’re alive right now because God in his mercy i ... Read more »

Failure

Don’t expect failure just because of a painful childhood, unfair treatment, discrimination, or whatever else makes your life difficult. Such things are challenges to overcome, not excuses for giving up or going bad. Trust God and try your best. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23-24).

Please pray this PRAYER with me now—“O Lord my God fill thou my life, in every part with praise, that my whole being may proclaim thy Greatness and thy ways.” in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

 

LOVE AND SPIRITUAL GIFT

 Let us work together in love, using our own gifts and delighting in each other’s gifts. So important is love in the use of spiritual gifts that God repeats it over and over. So let’s conclude with this biblical passage where love and spiritual gifts go together.

In 1 Peter 4:8-11, the Word of God says,

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use

THE FEAR OF THE LORD

 

When the psalmist saw the transgression of the wicked his heart told him how it could

be. “There is no fear of God before his eyes,” he explained, and in so saying revealed to

us the psychology of sin. When men no longer fear God, they transgress His laws

without hesitation. The fear of consequences is not deterrent when the fear of God is

gone.

In olden days men of faith were said to “walk in the fear of God” and to “serve the Lord
