Now your service continues for Christ

Finally through with serving our father's land? Congratulations.
Still in the course of serving? Well done.
About to proceed? Prepare well.
Serving our father's land is not an easy task, it takes patience, hard work, commitment, determination and other qualities to be a success at it. Serving our father's land is a great experience that one is supposed to pass through. As serving our father's land is a great experience, so is the service of Christ.
Serving Christ just like our fathers land also require aforementioned qualities too and is one that requires persistence is all aspect.
Have you been serving him during your course of national service is a great question because his service is not a one time affair but that of a life time. Serving Christ is a privilege we are supposed to take chance of. He's call which says "The harvest is plenty but the laborers are few" is his mission for you to work in his vineyard of being an harvester.
In your sojourn of national service, have you also served him in accordance with his mission call?. Now that you are already or almost done with your youth service, I want you to know that your service for Christ should still continue. If you have not yet started serving in his vine yard, now is the time to start.
Serving your father's land is an important aspect of a student and youth life, but serving Christ is the most important aspect of ones life that one should take heed to. Now is not too late to start serving Christ.
If you are through with youth service, start or continue to serve Christ in your next phase of life. If you are still in youth service, start or continue serving Christ now and afterwards. If you are yet to start your youth service, start or continue serving Christ. Because serving Christ is a life time deal, Don't Prolong or shorten your service tenure in his vineyard by still living in sin.
 Your time as a fresh graduate or a corper is the best time to serve God. Take this deal of a life time your Creator has set before you, don't make it later, give yourself up for his service, contribute your own quota and when its time to drop the baton,you will be able to say... "I have fought the good fight".
This article is dedicated to all corpers, graduates, undergraduates and all youths to remind them that there is a service more profitable than being a corper, which is being an heavenly corper.

WHAT IS YOUR MINISTRY

A true story.

 I once knew a woman who lived in the mainland area of Lagos, she was a business woman who sold pure water and soft drinks at whole scale level, she had her shop just beside a very great church, she had lots of fridges and deep freezers and enormous sale merchants who hawked pure water around the streets of Lagos, I always thought she was a Christian because all her children I knew that were my peers where all bearing Christian names like Samson, Priscilla etc.
 One day she died, and all people could say about her was that she never for once attended a church, but that she herself founded her church which was her business, they said the woman was the pastor, her fridges and deep freezers were her ministers, while her sachet waters and canned beverages were her members.
I could not believe my ears, because there was and still till date a bible believing church just beside her shop, how come she never attended the church or any other church for once I asked myself. She died without knowing Christ, her death threw her children into confusion, they knew not Christ and they never even bothered to know him, no church conducted her burial because her ministry was her business, her ministry was her goods, she only replenished people by selling refreshments for them, she never replenished their souls with Christ Jesus. She died a shameless death and did not have a proper burial. Her business crumbled months after she died and that was the end of her.
How about you my reader, what is your own ministry, are you even a member of the true vine? Is your story not like that woman who built her ministry around her business, she never for once knew Christ or bothered to meet with him. She lived a dead life even while being alive, she was not grafted to Jesus. No single person around her could say anything commendable about her, all they said was she died without knowing Jesus Christ, even unbelievers and pagans said so.
 It does not matter how much you enjoy life or how hard you suffer in life, if your ministry is not built around Jesus Christ, you will only die a shameful death. Everyone has a ministry to take charge of.
Discover your ministry
Check your ministry
Upgrade your ministry
Disseminate your ministry
Plant your ministry
Don't let your ministry be your business
Don't let your ministry be your field of profession
Don't let your ministry be your studies.
Let your ministry be founded by Jesus Christ.
Let your ministry be grafted to the true vine.
Let your ministry be for the great commission.
Your ministry should be your priority in life, because you will account for every soul that passed through you.
You can discover your ministry if only you have Jesus Christ who is the real corner stone of the great commission. Confess your sins today. Accept Jesus Christ and forsake your old ways and learn to follow his ways, join a bible believing church, and discover your ministry in Christ Jesus.

COMFORT OF THE COMFORTER

Looking at the just concluded year, can you say it was well spent?
Can you really acknowledge it as a very good year?
Was it as comfortable as you wished or prayed for?
Did you really enjoy the comfort of the comforter?
Whatever your answers may be, this new year can really get much better, it can be the best year for you, it can be as comfortable as you wish it to be, only if you know the comforter.
The comforter is the only one who can giver you what you the comfort you desire and deserve. But who is this comforter you may wonder, he is the one promised unto us in the book of John 14:15-17,26. He is meant to teach you, guide, protect, and keep you so that you sojourn for this new year can be  comfortable as it ought to be, because the one who promised him unto us says "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid".
For you to have this comfort of the comforter, you must  know and believe in the one who promised to send him unto us, and how can you really believe in him who promised to send the comforter if you don't accept and welcome him into your life.
To enjoy the comfort of the comforter this new year, you need to accept Jesus Christ into your life, and confess him as your personal Lord and Savior. And if you have already done that before, you need to keep making your relationship with him strong, because the relationship a man must have with Jesus must always be strengthened daily.
To enjoy your life this year, to be a success as a man or woman, student or worker, to be strong spiritually, to be useful for God and humanity and for this new year to go well and great for you, you need the comfort which the comforter gives, which can only be accessible through Jesus Christ.
Accept Jesus Christ into your life today and watch how this year 2017 will a year you will never forget for good, and a year which your aims will be met.
