The Wages Of A Labourer in The Ministry

God is not interested in spectators, everybody was saved to be a major player or partaker in God’s endtime harvest. And we play the role in saving souls, training souls and also turning them into saviors to save more souls. So the church has only one purpose and that is to save the lost. Whatever we do must be aimed at saving the lost. Whatever the church does that doesn’t lead to the saving of the lost doesn’t register with God. The son of man came to seek and save the lost through many methods but the purpose was for saving the lost. Salvation of souls is the primary purpose of the church. A wage is money paid to an employee for their work. It can be paid on an hourly, daily, weekly, or piece-work basis.

Skandalon III: The Power of Offences Pt. 2

Offenses, when not addressed and forgiven, can have a powerful, destructive impact on individuals and relationships, hindering spiritual growth and causing emotional turmoil.  THE POWERFUL EFFECTS OF OFFENCES OVER YOUR LIFE
1. Offences can change your nature over time - John 6:59-61 People are changed with the passage of time when offences are not quickly forgiven and forgotten. Generous people become stingy, loving people become reserved and emotionless etc. Jesus' Disciples Changed Direction Quickly when they Got Offended by Jesus’ Message. They Stopped following Him Many of Jesus' disciples were offended by his teachings, particularly after he spoke about eating his flesh and drinking his blood (John 6:53-61). 
2. Offence Can Trigger Unknown and Unseen Zeal - John 2:5 Many people have underestimated people for who they truly are and what they can actually do. You will never truly know what anybody can do until they are pushed to the wall or their trigger buttons are pressed. Don’t ever push anybody to their limits, you will be shocked what they can do. Jesus Christ the most meek and humblest of humans to walk the earth also as flesh and blood had a trigger button and when it was pressed, he exploded in the most wildest and unimaginable way. Who would have thought Jesus will display such degree of anger as to do what he did but he was offended by the sight in the temple. You must know that every human being has a limit to what they can take, if you ever push someone beyond their limits, that is it, you will be shocked at the outcome. They will show you a version of themselves you have never seen. You will see the beast in them! I pray you never see the true beast in anyman. ZEAL is the Greek Word “Zēlos” which means; ———
Excitement of mind (intense and passionate feeling of either anger or love). Excitement of mind, or mental excitement, refers to a state of enthusiasm, eagerness, anticipation, and general arousal, often associated with joy, elation, a surge of energy, upheavals (A violent or sudden change or disruption to something). Excitement of mind is to be high and when someone is high, they are not in their natural senses. You better becareful when you offend someone to these realms you have lost them for life. ———
Fierceness of Indignation or Anger Fierceness of indignation" refers to a state of intense, righteous anger or displeasure, often directed at perceived injustice or wrongdoing.  Fierceness implies a strong, forceful, and potentially destructive form of anger (Psalm 78:49). ——— Punitive Zeal Punitive zeal refers to zeal or fervor that is directed towards punishment or retribution (punishment inflicted on someone as vengeance for a wrong or criminal act) often in a way that is seen as excessive or unrighteous.   Be blessed as you listen to this all exciting message from our Man of God.

Skandalon II: Blessed is He who is not Offended in Me Pt.2

The Word Skandalon is a Greek Word which means the following: A. A trap or a snare; B. Any impediment placed in the way and causing one to stumble or fall and; C. Any person or thing by which one is entrapped or drawn into error or sin. What it means to be Converted! The word Converted is very critical to our understanding because just like the born again experience where a person cannot enter his or her mother’s womb to be born a second time, to be converted is the Greek Word “Strephō” meaning the following; ——To turn, turn around or reverse from your natural self or your usual behavior as an adult; ——To turn your back to oneself as in deny your self or flesh. That is;
A. You no longer care about others in a certain way of making their comments affect you so much that you get offended. You must become an “I don’t care Person.” A child doesn’t care what you think or say about them. There are too many adults and no children, it’s the reason offences have multiplied in the church. Egos are so high that the little thing offends us. Be careful lest you go to hell.
B. To turn your back to your old conducts. That is to change your mind or renew your mind by the word of God. Be blessed as you listen to this great teachings from our father.

Skandalon II: Blessed is He Who is Not Offended in Me Pt.1

Here are some reasons John shouldn’t have been offended in Christ but it will surprise you to know, the very reasons people should not be offended are the very reasons that they use to justify their offence.
1. JOHN THE BAPTIST INTRODUCED THE EARTHLY MINISTRY OF JESUS John the Baptist was the one and only prophet who was crying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist introduced the message of Jesus to the people. He made the way for the ministry of Jesus Christ to flourish (Mathew 3:1-6)
2. JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS ACTUALLY PREACHING JESUS MESSAGE THAT HE WOULD LATER PREACH The kind of wild and direct messages John the Baptist was preaching is the same kind of message that Jesus would later also preach. John the Baptist knew Jesus, his assignment and his ministry by the Spirit and yet at a point when he allowed himself, he got offended (Mathew 3:7-10).
3. JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZED JESUS John the Baptist actually baptized Jesus Christ in the River Jordan. Knowing whom Jesus actually was as a divinely ordained being come from God to the earth to save his people. But Jesus permitted John to baptized Him. So John was not supposed to get offended at all by any means (Mathew 3:11-16).

Open Doors and Gates

Everyone needs an open door and gates to go to the next level. Every realm of blessing, promotion or increase demands that certain doors and gates must be opened for you. In Isaiah 45, we see God’s dealings with his anointed. In this particular case Cyrus. Here are some dealings of God when it comes to His anointed gleaned from the scripture;
1. God holds the right hand of His anointed to subdue nations;
2. God looses the loins of kings to open before him the two leaved gates and the gates shall not be shut;
3. God goes before His anointed to make every crooked path straight;
4. God breaks in pieces the gates of brass and cut asunder the bars of iron and;
5. God gives his anointed the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places. May God open doors and gates for your life and move you to the next level as you listen to this thought provoking message from Snr. Bishop Clive Mould.

Reasons Why Tithing Doesn’t Work for Some People Pt. 2

Many things work together to create the blessings we need. Success is often the result of several things working together. Tithing cannot be studied in isolation. Obeying God in the matter of tithing is just one of many commandments of the Lord. It is good that you would obey the Lord in paying your tithes but you must also obey the Lord in other areas. When the apostle Peter spoke of bearing fruit and being useful to God, he mentioned several things that would have to work together to make you fruitful. The question then remains, is God a liar? Why are some People’s Tithe’s not producing the right results?
 
We see clearly in Malachi 3:10, Numbers 23:19 that, It is impossible for God to lie but many of us who will not do the right thing and what God has commanded as we ought to, will cause God to be a liar in our lives. God cannot lie, he says when you pay tithe he open the windows of heaven and pour our blessings such as we will not have room to contain but is it the case for most Christians? No, because our excuses for doing what God has commanded the way he wants it done is a lot. We continue our study on reasons why tithing doesn’t work for some people. Be blessed as you listen to this great teachings from our father.

Reasons Why Tithing Doesn’t Work for Some People Pt. 1

Tithing is giving 10% or one-tenth of ALL your income for the month to the Lord at the end of every month. “Many things work together to create the blessings we need. Success is often the result of several things working together. Tithing cannot be studied in isolation. Obeying God in the matter of tithing is just one of many commandments of the Lord. It is good that you would obey the Lord in paying your tithes but you must also obey the Lord in other areas.

The Blessings of Tithing Pt. 1

Tithing is simply giving 10% or one-tenth of ALL your income in a given month to the Lord at the end of every month as your recognition of His blessings in your life and in obedience to His commandments. NOTE THE FOLLOWING THINGS ABOUT THE COVENANT OF TITHING
1. The only time God invites his people to test, examine or prove him (bāḥan) is Malachi 3:10 which relates to tithing in the whole Bible. God killed all Israelites in the wilderness from 20years and above because they tempted him ten (10) times - Numbers 14:19-23. But when it came to tithing he invites us to prove him or tempt him. In other words, you can start paying tithes faithfully and expect God to bless you and you will be assured that it will happen.
2. Tithing is a covenant between God and the Christian who is born again, according to the command in Acts 2:38. The covenant of tithing was only for the children of Abraham, not the unsaved. “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). Tithing has nothing to do with unbelievers so you must not listen to unbelievers opinion on tithing in order to decide what to do.
C. Tithing is a test: God tests the Christian’s ability to trust him with his or her material wealth. It’s a test of do you trust God with your financial prosperity and are you faithful to covenant of tithing from nothingness?
D. The foundation of tithing is the belief that God is the creator of everything, hence the owner of all things. It is the Abrahamic declaratioggn of faith that says 'ĕlōhîm rā'â – God will see to it or God will provide - Jehovah Jireh (Genesis 22:14).
