Why do i forget to discuss God

I remember how l never missed the hot political discussions before the elections every Monday morning at work. In fact, anyone who listened to us thought we could host a television show on politics. The zeal and passion we put into these conversations was something else. Before I knew it, I was tagged with the name ‘politician’ at work.

Months later, on my way to a gospel musical concert, I sat on the same bus with a work colleague who happened to be a part of the political fanatics at work. Since we were not talking politics, I told him about the program, and he agreed to join me. Interesting enough, my co-worker enjoyed the program so much and even gave his life to Christ there. I felt both excited and sad. Excited because he got born again but sad because I never knew he was not saved because I always thought he was.

The assumption that everyone is saved is quite relatable amongst close friends. Especially when everyone says they attend church on Sunday. I had the advantage of interacting with people at work, but I never mentioned God because I assumed they already knew him. Funny enough, it also never occurred to me in our heated conversations. Many of us share this same story. As believers, we have been given the power to witness to everyone both far and near. I believe Jesus knew this, and his words in Acts 1:8 reflects that our friends too must hear the gospel.

‘But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth’.

The apostles were in Jerusalem and Jesus’s words to them was explanatory and detailed. He told them where to start in telling people about him after they had received the power to do it. It’s as if he knew they were going to give excuses about not knowing what to say, thus he already made the capability to do the work available through the Holy spirit. Then he first mentioned Jerusalem as a start point before moving on to the bigger city Judea. This speaks a lot in our mandate as believers. The ability to tell others about Christ is through the Holy Ghost. Our immediate circle which is our friends and family should be our focus. Then we gradually make progression to other places with time.

Looking beyond our reach makes the task look cumbersome and leads to procrastination. Everyone needs to hear the gospel especially our friends. God is a whole topic for discussion too in our chit-chats. But I guess we always forget that with no reason.

When we concentrate on ourselves and our immediate environment, we are able to bear many fruits for the kingdom. How amazing it will be that everyone around us is deeply rooted in Christ and in the word of God and that we have conversations that end in Bible discussions!

Before you say i do

Preacher: Bishop George Adjeman

Main Scriptures:  Ephesians 5: 23-33, Genesis 2: 15-18

To establish a home and make it prosper, LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH.

You need to prepare by cultivating these virtues.

  1. Wisdom
  2. Understanding
  3. Knowledge

Your posture in these virtues will determine the kind of marriage you will have.

FACTS TO CONSIDER IN MARRIAGE

  1. God’s first thoughts concerning marriage is centered on the man.
  2. When a man marries a woman, he becomes the key to holding the family together.

Husband = house + bond

  1. Don’t prioritize his physical appearance or his wealth.

 TO KNOW WHO TO MARRY:

  1. He should be in the presence of God.

The Garden of Eden represents “THE PRESENCE OF GOD”. Genesis 2: 15

He must be connected to God and have a rich relationship with God.

The first thing a man needs at the age of marriage is not a woman.

  1. He must be gainfully working. Genesis 2:15

In marriage, men and women are NOT EQUAL.

  1. The man must be a cultivator.

Is he a tender, a preserver of seed or a waster?

How fruitful are his conversations? Ephesians 5:25

He should be able to take the raw material (the woman) and nurture her into a fruitful vine.

  1. He is the protector of the woman. Genesis 2:15

Under no circumstance should he use his physique to intimidate or frustrate the woman.

  1. He should be able to hear God’s voice and follow God’s instructions.

Genesis 2:16-17. He should have reverence for the Word of God. This is because anytime there are problems to resolve, it is the Word of God that must be consulted, otherwise there will be chaos in the home.

NB: Check whether he loves you or lusts for you.

There is no way a man should compare his wife to his mother. You left your mother to be with your wife so your wife should be your priority.

The Person and Work of the Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit is co-equal with God the Father and God the Son and is of the same essence. Yet He is also distinct from them.

Scripture describes the Holy Spirit in personal terms, not as an impersonal force, when it says that He teaches, guides, comforts and intercedes.1 He possesses emotions, intellect and will.2 The Holy Spirit spoke to Philip and gave counsel to the church at Jerusalem.3 He was sinned against and lied to.4

The Scriptures also attest to the deity of the Holy Spirit. He is spoken of as God and is identified with the title of Jehovah.5 The Christian who is indwelt by the Spirit is indwelt by God.6 The Holy Spirit possesses the attributes of deity, such as omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence and eternality.7 He does works only God can do, such as creating, regenerating and sanctifying.8 He is equally associated with the other members of the Trinity.9

The work of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament differed somewhat from His work in the New Testament. The possession of the Holy Spirit by the believer was not permanent in every case.10 The Spirit had a ministry of restraining sin and in the creation of the world.11

The Holy Spirit today plays a major role in the application of salvation to the individual. It is the Spirit who brings conviction to the unbeliever and causes him to see the truth of the gospel in a clear light.12 Those who respond to this conviction and place their faith in Jesus Christ receive eternal life and a new nature.13 The Holy Spirit unites the believer with Christ and places him in the body of Christ, the church.14 He also unites the believer with Christ in His death, enabling him to live victoriously over sin.15 The Holy Spirit controls the believer who yields to God and submits himself to God’s Word.16 When these conditions are met, the believer lives in the power of the Spirit and produces the fruit of the Spirit.17

The Holy Spirit indwells the believer permanently.18 While the child of God may sin and grieve the Spirit, the Spirit will never leave the true believer.19 Absence of the Holy Spirit is the mark of the unsaved.20 The Holy Spirit seals the believer.21 This ministry guarantees the security of the believer “until the day of redemption.”22

The Holy Spirit sovereignly bestows spiritual gifts or abilities for service to every believer.23 Although His restraint of evil in the world today will cease with the rapture,24 He will continue to be present in the earth. In the tribulation period the Spirit will be involved in salvation and filling.25 In the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ, the Spirit will be in God’s people and the Spirit will be upon the King.26
