Room for Improvement

Room For Improvement   “So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life— and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don’t become so well- adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention to God. You’ll be changed from…

Being a Soul Winner – Part 3

Being a Soul Winner – Part 3 by Minister Elois Watson Last time I shared the process of how a Soul Winner can share, and minister Salvation.  Now we will look at the foundation and procedure of Soul Winning.

Mr. Perfect

As I was at work looking out the window, I began thinking about past relationships. I was reminded of a scripture my pastor shared with me when I was going thru the motions with a gentleman friend, Colossians 3:2  “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”.  To be honest, when he initially shared it with me it, I wasn’t really feeling it. It was not an answer that satisfied my…

Behold The Mirror

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:  II CORINTHIANS 3:18 “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” A mirror reflects the image of a person.  As we allow the Spirit of the Lord to work in us and through us, the image of Jesus is reflected in us to the world.  When…

My New Servant

“If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, … it should obey you.” (Lk. 17:6)   WHAT? FAITH SHOULD OBEY ME?  FAITH IS MY SERVANT?  I didn’t know about this until I began listening to Pastor in faith class.  Not to mention, I had no real need to move mountains.   But I did need to get the car tuned, buy groceries, do the laundry, stand on line at the Post Office, get paid…

You Need to Please God (You Don’t Need to Fleece God)

There are several instances of godly covenants in the Old Testament.  A covenant is a binding agreement between two parties.  GOD and Gideon established such an agreement in the Old Testament Judges 6-7.  Let us review some benefits of agreement with our Holy God. Berith is Hebrew for covenant meaning “to come together.”  In Greek this is Suntheke, defined as a compact, treaty, or alliance. GOD establishes covenant with Gideon not between equals but the…

Zombies

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”   Deuteronomy 30:19   I’m sure we’ve all seen at least one movie, TV show, or book about zombies. We know that most times they are depicted as having flesh that is rotted. They wander around cities aimlessly, crying out in…

Being a Soul Winner – Part 2

Last time, I shared about being a Soul Winner.  It was established what a Soul Winner is and their purpose.  Now we will look at the process of actually how a Soul Winner can share, and minister Salvation.  After establishing a rapport with the person(s) then ask, “If you died tonight, do you really know for certain where you will spend eternity?”  Be mindful not to ask them if they are a Christian, saved, or…

Are you his sheep? John 10:1-4

For He is the Good Shepard, Are you his sheep? His sheep hear his voice. To hear his voice, you must know Him. To know Him, you must get familiar with his voice through his Word. In Jeremiah 24:7 “I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Lord. They will be my people and I will be their God.” If you are a believer in Christ, you have the Spirit of…

Understanding The Word

By Priscilla Hairston Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  (Proverbs 3:5-6) Have you ever looked at your bible and thought, “Well I don’t have the first clue how to read that thing.” or “I just don’t understand the way they talked back then!” or even “I like the way Pastor explains the Word so…
