Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 12
Text: Ephesians 4:13-14  
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"

Reflection: 
Utility 
· “Usefulness”
· Paul shifts from unity of true believers to uniqueness of believers
· Gifts: special abilities God gives us to use for his service
· Each Christian has at least one gift
· No one has all the gifts
· Not all have the same gifts

· Equipping gifts:
Apostle: chosen by Christ, 3 responsibilities:
1. lay foundation of church
2. receive, declare, and write God’s Word
3. confirm Word through signs, wonders, and miracles
o None today; Ephesus commended in Revelation 2 for trying false apostles
o Prophet: spoke direct revelation from God in absence of written Word
o None today: done away with when Word was written down (1 Cor. 13)
o Evangelists: traveling proclaimers of Gospel to unbelievers
o Pastors/Teachers: given to local congregation to shepherd flock by teaching, by example, by service
o Help individuals to grow, to be able to serve God in their ministries, build up and encourage

D. Maturity
· Knowing Christ in a personal, meaningful way results from humility, unity, utility
· Not growing?
o Wrong attitude about self and others
o Not unified with rest of body
o Refusing to work in God’s kingdom
· Maturity means different things at different levels
· Our goal is to be like Christ

Prayer: 
Father, help me to be like You Jesus 🙇🏽‍♂️

Peculiar People. Part 2 THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.

THE RIGHT TO BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD.  John 1:12-13   But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. It is a common thing for a child to call someone his Father or somebody called a child his son. There are lots of things to consider before someone could be the real Father or real son . Sometimes there may be a need for DNA test to be sure. We remember Chief MKO Abiola of blessed memory. In his WILL demanded a DNA test for all his other children apart the children of his first wife. When he was alive he take them as children but now he wanted to prove that they are truly his children. For the prove of the right of God children, apart from Our Lord Jesus Christ, all other children of God will undergo DNA test. Matt 3:16-17 Let us break the Topic into two parts. The Right to become.... Children of God. What i

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional Monday 25th March 2024 Topic: Hidden Treasures 25 - Divine Treasure Text: Matthew 6:19-21   "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Reflection:  “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth…” What is our “treasure”? As God’s children, do we know what should be our real treasure? The word “treasures” refer not just to money, or material wealth, but also to anything that we highly value, or we greatly enjoy or delight in. Not only gold or our bank accounts, but we can greatly value our job, family, hobby, friends, ambitions, or whatever material possession. We can also treasure our own personal beliefs, behavior, lifestyle, or even our lifetime i

April Online Seminar - Day 2

April Online Seminar  Theme: God's Workmanship.  Text: Ephesians 2:10  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" INTRODUCTION  God calls us His workmanship or His artwork, from the Greek word poiēma. We are something crafted, with skill and a purpose, by God, for His purposes. Specifically, we are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Good works do not give us salvation, but they are absolutely meant to be the result of salvation. THE TRUTH  The truth that Christ’s believers are God’s workmanship reflects His works of creation, redemption, provision, and sanctification in every believer’s life. This workmanship displays the greatness and the goodness of the loving Creator. IN CHRIST JESUS The words “in Christ Jesus” is the ground upon which salvation rests. When God makes a new creature out of a sinner, He does it in Christ Jesus. He and He alone is the only w
