How to Step into Your Ministry

“But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don't be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you”.

                                                                                                --2 Timothy 4:5

Lesson text: 1 Samuel 17

What is Ministry?

Ministry means carrying out your God given assignment

Ministry is when your destiny in manifestation.

Ministry is focus towards touching lives, advancing God’s kingdom and changing your world.

No human being is born empty.

No human being born without a purpose.

Destiny is your discovering your divine purpose; but your ministry is bringing into reality that destiny.

A man who cannot convert or transmit his destiny into ministry is like a salt that was never put into the soup!

Prophetic Word: “It is time for Divine Shifting. It is time for My Children to move forward. It is time for My Vessels to pour out the oil inside them into the dying world”.

God is shifting us from the ground of learning to the ground of impartation.

God has a plan for your life…

·         Don’t make decisions based on your feelings.

·         The Will of God is not about what you like or what you want; it is about God’s thoughts and plan for your life.

·         The Will of God does not bring confusion; it brings conviction and peace of mind.

·         Don’t make decisions based on people’s opinion or world trend or system.

·         To learn and understand the Will of God you must renew your mind in the Word of God.

·         Never be in a hurry. If you can’t wait upon the Lord then forget about the Will of God.

·         The Word of God (Bible) is the Will of God. When you are a doer of the written word, God will begin to reveal His specific word concerning you.

·         To know God’s Will you must surrender your will and trust He is faithful and good and that His Will for your life is what is best for you.

·         There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end there of are the way of death.

·         All that glitters are not gold. Seek God’s Will even in the face of opportunity.

·         If you want to know God’s will for your life, you must set your affection on things above and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

·         Developing a close relationship with God through the Word of God and prayer is the foundation to knowing God’s Will for your life.

·         To know God’s Will you must purify your heart.

·         The Will of God operates by God’s timing. Every Revelation from God has time.

·         Obedience to God on little things will lead you into deep things of God.

·         The Will of God comes bit by bit, piece by piece and chapter by chapter. Take one step at a time. He that is faithful in small will be faithful in much.

·         The Will of God will bring glory to God and advance His Kingdom and not to satisfy your lust.

·         The Will of God is not about what you will gain; but it is about what you will give. Selfishness is an enemy of the Will of God.

·         God’s Will also reveals God’s way. Don’t follow the Will of God your own way.

·         Never act or decide on anything when God is silent or you are not cleared about. Keep waiting.

·         The Will of God reveals the character of God (e.g. love, holiness e.t.c.)

·         The Will of God does not put you under pressure; not cause you to be tormented with fear.

·         Follow the law of first mention.

·         The Will of God is irrevocable and without repentance.

As you follow these rules, you will avoid making mistakes in finding God’s Will for your life.

The Triumph of Faith

Lesson Text: Hebrews 11: 32- 40

“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is Victory that has overcome the world, even our FAITH.”  --1 John 5: 4

Introducing the Lesson

Life is a battlefield.

There is always a battle between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness.

The only fight believers are permitted to fight is called ‘the fight of faith’.

The victory has been won by Jesus Christ on the cross, but it takes faith to possess and experience that victory.

Faith means to believe the Word of God and to act on it.

The only way a child of God can experience a life of victory and success, is when he develops a winning Faith.

What is Winning Faith?

A winning Faith is the faith that triumphs.

A winning Faith is a faith that conquers.

A winning Faith sees God as bigger than any problem or circumstance.

A winning faith is the faith that moves mountains.

A winning Faith is a faith that goes through sword and persecution and refuses to compromise.

You cannot develop a winning Faith except you learn to depend totally of God. (Read Jeremiah 17: 5-8)

Without a winning Faith you can never enter into the fullness of God’s blessings.

Without a winning Faith you can never experience divine promotion in life.

Unbelief and doubt is a sin against God.

Prayer without faith is powerless and fruitless.

How to Triumph in Faith

1.       Practice the command of faith. Learn to speak with the authority in the Word of God.  Your words are able to save, heal or deliver you. For you shall eat the fruit of your tongue.

Faith does not accept a situation; it causes change!

2.       Learn to pray the prayer of faith. Learn to activate the promises of God’s word.

You must be persistent in prayer.

Word of wisdom: It takes prayer and determination for you to climb your mountain.

3.       Learn to take a step of faith. Remember the story of the four lepers. Your faith will triumph when you act on the word of God.

4.       Practice seed-faith. I mean, you should learn to sow the right seed that will speak for your miracles.

How to Build a Winning Faith

1.       Learn to Study your bible always. The word of God is the source of Faith (Romans 10:17)

2.       Live of life of praise and thanksgiving unto God. Complaining and murmuring will only destroy your faith.  (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

3.       Live of life of purity. Blessed are the pure in heart. (Matthew 5:8) The blessing of Faith is not for sinners, it is for the saints.

4.       Learn to fast and pray always. It will help you to be strong in the spirit to be able to defeat doubt and unbelief.

Remember, Faith is a seed…it must be develop for it to triumph over the battles of life.
