Ministry is fulfilled by obeying the specific instructions given to you. You can't hurriedly jump into things when clarity hasn't yet being received. The things of God aren't rushed. The things of God can't be done in the strength of man. There's the need to follow the process, get clarity and be fully equipped for the work.

How Jesus raised men. How He trained them. How clear His purpose was. These we must follow in discipling men also.

We can't do otherwise. Jesus didn't teach dishonor for those in authority in any way. We are to follow men to the degree their works are in line with the truth.

We must live our lives for the things that are of eternal value. Our hearts mustn't hold on to the things that are of this present world.

As believers we must show ourselves separate from the world. Our conversation must be as those who have received the word of God.

There are certain events of our lives that we mustn't be in a hurry to publicize. Silence is wisdom in this case. Everything isn't for the public. Certain events must call for a third party divinely given.

By prayer we align ourselves with the will of God. We keep ourselves watchful through prayer. The more we pray we are sure of escaping temptations.

In the sight of God there's no comparison among His children. He sees us through the same lens of love and purpose. The man who has humbled himself like a child that is received the word of God without any doubt is the greatest in the kingdom. This is in no wise comparing one believer to another. It is actually drawing the line for greatness. It is simply faith in Him. You are great..

God has a track record of always coming through for man. You can always look back and see how He has been consistent in character and in His words.

Man is God's channel for establishing His purpose on earth. To reject these men is set oneself contrarily to divine purpose.

It is important we learn to hear the Lord daily. You can't follow through present circumstances with instructions that do not concern them. More importantly we shouldn't allow our achievements determine our moves. The voice of God should determine our moves. If we are after glorifying Him then we must take our eyes off ourselves and fix them on Him.

Strict adherence to rules at the expense of the well being of your brother isn't the way of the Spirit. God is rich in mercy and didn't deal with us according to our sins. We must extend the same mercy to others. Mercy doesn't judge. Mercy doesn't condemn. Mercy seeks the well being of your brother.

Nothing can be more authentic than the very testimony of Jesus concerning the work of redemption. We seem to slant towards human wisdom and analogies than staying simply on what God said He'd do in His Son which He has done. No one can invalidate what Jesus has done for the salvation of man. He is truly the faithful witness.

In fulfilling God's purpose for our lives we can't jump the process. There are required paths we must take. Things cannot be done randomly and without direction. We must yield to the training of the Spirit if we must step fully into God's purpose for us.

True repentance is of the heart. It isn't an outward display of piety without an inclination towards the Truth. Our hearts must be open to receive the word of God. This is the only way it can bear fruits of righteousness.

We were saved to serve. This must be understood. Our good works aren't the yardstick for God's blessing. They are the results of God's blessing. Serving God is an end. Not a means to an end.

The atmosphere of faith is where the power of God to cause change abounds. Where faith is constant power is will have free course. That a situation changes doesn't in any way affect the power of God. The power of God is always working. Keep the faith alive.

The place of authority must be used appropriately. Power should be used to promote righteousness. Power wrongly used can cause a damage that will take generations to heal. Influence men rightly.

Jesus remains our model for life and ministry. How He walked with men. His disposition towards matters. His intent and purpose must be fully followed. How He handled rejection must be equally emulated.

We must return to this subject. If we must be focused on that which we have been called to do then our consecration must be pronounced. The world shouldn't look at us and begin to wonder if we are really who we say we are. Let our lives be a full expression of the presence of God. Let us live for Him and Him alone..

The security of the believer is assured. Our assurance of our salvation isn't because of what we have done but what Christ has done. The believer has been brought into safety and cannot found outside that safety.

The truth of God's word wholesomely put forth is how we silence opposers and hypocrites. Battle of words isn't the way of Christ. The truth put forth is how we would still silence those who are against the truth..

The end of the eternal purpose of God is man. Man is the reason for creation. Man is God's resting place. God resting is God indwelling the man who has believed in the Son. In man God is refreshed. In God's rest we experience times of refreshing.

God wants us to see Him in His goodness than we see Him through our performances. Knowing God through our performances will always give a wrong image of His person. Knowing God through the revelation of His person will give the accurate revelation of His person. God is benevolent. He wants you to see Him in that light always.

Growth isn't automatic. Certain conditions are necessary for growth. If we don't undergo those conditions growth would be hampered. To get to where God has purposed for us we must follow through the process. Quick fixes don't make no strong men. Go through the process. Grow through the process.
