RAISING DISCIPLES FOR WORLD OUTREACH

 "How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. [13] For you said to yourself, 'I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. [14] I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.' [15] Instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths. [16] Everyone there will stare at you and ask, 'Can this be the one who shook the earth and made the kingdoms of the world tremble? [17] Is this the one who destroyed the world and made it into a wasteland? Is this the king who demolished the world's greatest cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?' Isaiah 14:12-17  PRAYER POINTS ✓ Father, don't let me relish in the  past glory. Continue to make me relevant and ever brilliant and shining.  ✓ May I not enter into the realm of depravation...

But few men has been assigned duties. Some others are working on their own pleasures The fact is this:  1. FOLLOW ME... God doesn't bring men into His service unless He bid them first to FOLLOW HIM.  (VS 19). You must be called to think of answering or responding. No matter the lack of ...

 THE MISSION OF THE MISSIONARY The main aim of missionary is to reach out to souls. Yet, he must study and understands the means of reaching them.  Some of the means of reaching the souls of men include:  ✓ Meeting their physical needs by providing them with food, clothing and shelter  ✓ Engage in professional work among the people. For instance, a missionary can volunteer to be a school teacher, a medical practitioner and host of other services as the situation demands.  However, a missionary can be overwhelmed by these charities and volunteering works so as to forget that his main focus is to bring souls to Christ. This unconscious act has led many missionaries astray from the path of the ultimate Great Commission.  "Demas has deserted me because he loves the things of this life and has gone to Thessalonica..." 2 Timothy 4. 10  Demas left the present world when he tasted of the goodness of Christ. He became a missionary to bring others to taste of t...
