LIVE BY EXAMPLE-Dr Mike Okonkwo MFR

“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 11:1 (KJV)

 

As believers, it is our responsibility to be God’s road sign. People do not care what you say, because actions speak louder than words. Yesterday, we looked at being children’s caretaker, but do you realise that everyone who comes to the Lord through your ministry – be it one-on-one evangelism, crusade, chance meeting or any other way the Lord uses you, is your spiritual son or daughter? The same way you live by example before your natural children you have to do the same before your spiritual children – don’t tell them to pray when you are not praying. Don’t tell them to go on evangelism if you will not go by yourself. Don’t tell them to study the word if you will not study it yourself.

 

As believers, we are the bible the world should read. While living by example to your spiritual children, be the Bible to the world. Let them see Jesus in you; not because you announce that you are a believer, but because your life shows them the Lord. The believers were called Christian in Antioch because they behaved like Him. Their interactions were different, their language was different, the negative things everyone around them did, never contaminated them. People saw them and saw a reflection of Jesus in them and called them little Christs – Christians.

 

Can we see God’s reflection in you? Are you proud to be called a Christian in your neighbourhood? Do your colleagues, friends and family members see you differently? Or do they mock you at your back saying” “if that is a Christian, then I am fine”? Even your immediate family – your spouse, parents and siblings (whichever applies) do they see Jesus in you? If not, then sit back and check yourself. A lion gives birth to a lion, never a goat. If you are not behaving like Christ, then you are none of His. It is not about how long you have been in church, it is about, how well your life reflects Him.

Stop and take a look at yourself in the mirror of the word of God and make the necessary adjustments that your life may show forth His glory.

WELCOME TO JUNE, OUR MONTH OF DOUBLE PORTION. (II KINGS 2:9B-10)

CHILDREN – GOD’S HERITAGE - Dr Mike Okonkwo MFR

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 127:3 (KJV)

For almost the entire month, I have consciously taught on grace. I encourage you not only to read them once, read again and meditate on them. It will help your Christian experience. This weekend we will be celebrating the children. I thank God for the children He has given us in TREM.

Our scripture reading today says they are God’s heritage. In other words, you are only a caretaker. God gave them to you to nurture, mentor and groom. The fact that you have children should not make you feel more important; and as many as are trusting God today, I speak over your life that your desire will come to pass. Don’t give up; hang in there.

“And he said, ‘All these things I have kept from my youth’ So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, ‘You still lack one thing, sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come and follow Me’ But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich” (LUKE 18:21-23) (NKJV).

GOD CANNOT USE A DISCOURAGED SERVANT

Prophet T.B. Joshua, just back from Ecuador where he had gone to commission a school built and presented to a community by Emmanuel TV Team, engaged congregants in his usual thought-provoking manner with a message title – God Cannot Use A Discouraged Servant. He emphasized on the fact that God cannot use a discouraged servant, adding that satan has a way of making people overwhelmed, worried. Therefore, we must overcome such attitudes that lead to discouragement.

2017 WINNERS’ PERSONALIZED PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS-By David Oyedepo

2017 WINNERS’ PERSONALIZED PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS

We discover from scriptures that no prophecy ever gets fulfilled on its own, but every prophetic word always leaves believers with what to do to see it fulfilled – 1 Tim. 1:18/ Jn 2:5

Any prophetic word that doesn’t leave us with what to do is questionable – Ps 89:34.
