The Great Commission

“Unveiling the Profound Benefits of Intercession” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“Exod.17.11: And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (KJV).

In this article, we will delve into the profound effects of intercession:

Impact on Individuals and People:
Intercession bridges the gap for others, leading them into light, salvation, maturity, and victory over challenges. For instance, Jesus interceded for Peter’s faith to remain steadfast, resulting in his remarkable contributions to the early church. Lazarus’ revival after intercession demonstrates its transformative power. Similarly, personal testimonies attest to intercession’s ability to break through sickness and adversity (Exo 17:11).

Transformative Power on the Intercessor:
Intercession draws God’s attention to the intercessor. As prayers go up for others, God attends to the intercessor’s needs, refining their character and circumstances. Job’s intercession for his friends led to his own restoration. Moses’ radiant face after communing with God illustrates how intercession can bring about personal transformation (Job 42:10, Exo 34:35).

Manifestation of the Kingdom of God:
Intercession activates the presence of God’s kingdom on Earth, summoning…..”

“At Gethsemane: Learning to Surrender” by Sis. Gbemisola Dawn Fache

“He took a few steps away from those who went up with Him to express the anguish of His soul.

That particular garden was one of His favorite places; there He spent many evenings there. But that particular evening, He was not there to spend just another time, as usual. He was there because it was time to do what He was born to do. It was like a woman in labor but having no strength to push out the child.

He knew it was the right thing, but somehow He wished He could negotiate His way and evade it.

He finally found the strength to ask, “If it is your will, take this cup away from me.”

But knowing that the will of God was not a topic of debate, consideration, or negotiation, He quickly added, “Yet not My will but Yours be done.” He surrendered.

He had reasons to choose otherwise, but He chose to do the right thing even though it was the hardest option.

He was weak, but He did not present that as an excuse. He simply surrendered for God’s will to be done.

The depth of His weariness became the depth of His prayer to God.

Surrendering is not saying yes to God in the absence of obstacles and weaknesses but choosing to…”

“Lessons from the Life of Timothy” By Sis. Blessing Ugwu

“The study of individuals and an understanding of their actions, lifestyle, and exploits can help us in our journey to purpose.

Here, I will explore some of the transitional truths about the life of Timothy, which can help every Christian in their walk with God.

First, who was Timothy? The name Timothy means ‘honoring God,’ and the man Timothy in the Bible was from the Lycaonian city of Lystra or Derbe in Asia Minor. He was born to a Jewish mother who had become a Christian believer and a Greek father. He met Apostle Paul during his second missionary journey.

Studying the life of Timothy has opened me up to the following wisdom:

Generational influence: The truth remains that everyone comes from a generation that either impacts and reflects on the next generation positively or negatively, depending on the actions of the previous generation. However, we can make a difference, just like Timothy, who was raised by a mother who was a Jew and a father who was a Greek (Acts 16:1). His father’s influence as a Greek, which was termed the uncircumcised, could not hinder his vision of what God had deposited in his heart. He carefully made the right choice, resulting in a glorious destiny. As you can see, no matter your background, you can still fulfill that mission through your decision.

Adhering to spiritual virtue: Timothy lived on with the spiritual faith transferred to him, first from his grandmother to his mother and then to him (2 Tim 1:5). It is a great privilege for a person, whether young or old, to hold on to the positive spiritual attributes being imparted to them. Although we are in the last days where evil abounds, this should not quench or distract our focus on this virtue, which is your life.

Sincere trust: Timothy was totally devoted and genuine in his assignment to the extent that…..”

Follow-up: A System of Soul Discipleship – By Sis Jane Edema

“Following up on converts involves providing ongoing support, guidance, and resources to help them navigate their spiritual journey and deepen their commitment to their beliefs.

Now, let’s consider seven key advantages an organized follow-up system brings to bear for a new convert in particular and the body of Christ in general.

Nurturing Spiritual Growth: Follow-up allows mentors or spiritual guides to support and nurture the spiritual growth of converts. It ensures that they receive ongoing guidance, education, and resources to deepen their understanding of their newfound faith. This consistent support fosters a strong foundation and facilitates their progress on the spiritual path.

Integration and Adaptation: Conversion involves a significant transition in beliefs and practices. Follow-up helps converts integrate their newfound faith into their daily lives, adapting to new rituals, ethical principles, and ways of living in alignment with their spiritual values. The guidance and support provided during follow-up ensure a smooth and successful integration process.

Addressing Questions and Concerns: Converts often have questions, doubts, or concerns as they navigate their new spiritual path. Follow-up provides a platform for mentors or spiritual guides to address these inquiries and provide clarifications. By addressing doubts and concerns, converts can deepen their understanding, strengthen their faith, and overcome obstacles that may hinder their spiritual growth……”

Partnership in Missions: Giving – By Sis Oluwaseun Ogundare

“It has been established in previous articles under this series that missions play a vital role in spreading the message of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth, and that the call extends to every believer. This article explores ‘giving’ as a way of partnering with missions.

Giving simply means the free transfer of possession or value to someone else, and partnering with missions through giving simply means ‘giving to missions.’

It is true that God will always provide. Definitely, God’s work will never lack supply; however, God uses men. He has called us to partner with him. The Scripture sets a precedence for this. Examples in the Old Testament include Abraham hosting angels, Israelites bringing their substance for God’s work (Building of the tabernacle), Rahab hosting the spies, the widow of Zarephath feeding Elijah, and the list goes on and on. Women like Joanna, wife of Chuza, Susanna, and Mary Magdalene ministered of their substance to Jesus (Luke 8:3). The Philippians church also supported Paul with his mission work. The book of Romans chapter 16 also gives an account of Paul’s personal greetings to people, some of whom he described as his ‘helpers in Christ.’
What can I give?
One may ask, what can I give?…”

Partnership in Missions: The Power of Intercession – By Adebusola Owokole

“Missions play a vital role in spreading the love and message of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth. The call to missions extends to every believer, as we are commissioned to make disciples of all nations.

In the midst of these challenges, intercession emerges as a powerful tool for partnership in missions. This blog post explores the significance of intercession in missions and how it can transform the lives of both intercessors and those on the mission field.

“The White Fields” By Bro. Kingsley Manuel

“In the white fields, the harvest awaits
For workers to heed the call of faith
To scatter seeds upon every land
And watch them grow by God’s mighty hand

The gospel sown, hearts set ablaze,
Spreading joy, hope with each embrace,
To open eyes of the lost so wide,
Embracing truth, no longer to hide.

The toil is hard, the sun beats down,
But each step forward claims a crown,
Hearts are touched with each shared word,
A harvest reaped, souls awakened and stirred.

So let us labor with strength and might,
Spreading the news, breaking the chains tight,
Of sin and death that hold so fast,
Bringing the lost into God’s light.

For in these golden fields of harvest,
Lies a broken world, bitter and cold,
Yearning for love and endless grace,
That only Christ can truly unfold.

So let our hearts be filled with love,
Sowing seeds, praying to God above,
That hearts are touched and souls set free,
And the gospel harvest, at last, we see.

In fields of white, the harvest calls,
For laborers to share God’s love that enthralls,
The gospel true, grace abounding,
To those who have yet to hear, still surrounding.

The seed of truth, the Word of life,
Is sown by those who answer God’s strife,
To tell the lost of Christ who saves,
And bring them to His loving embrace.

The joy that fills the sower’s heart,
As they witness abundant fruit impart,
Is worth the sweat and tears they shed,
As they tirelessly journey, pathways spread.

May we be the ones who boldly go,
To distant fields that long to know,
And radiate the light of Christ,
To souls dwelling in darkness, obscured from sight.

For in these white fields ripe for harvest,
Lies a world in desperate need,
Of the Bread of life, the living Word,
That only Christ can truly feed.

So let us go forth and sow these fields,
Trusting God to do His part and yield,
To bring to life the seeds we sow,
Drawing them to His loving heart’s glow.

John 4:35 says, “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (ESV)…..”
