BE PART OF GOD’S MOVE: GREAT QUANTITY WITH HIGH QUALITY
” who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:4 (ESV)
HURRAAAAAY!! THIS IS A NEW GLORIOUS MONTH TO DO GREAT THINGS WITH THE LORD.
ARE YOU PART OF THE EXPANSION OF THE KINGDOM?
There are some saints who have been in Christ for 10 years, 20 years, 5 years or 8 years and have never thought being involved in the growth and expansion of the Kingdom.
There are some who think that ministry is not about quantity but quality.
However this is not what the scriptures teach.
Ministry has to be “GREAT QUANTITY with HIGH QUALITY.”
Look at the opening verse: 1 Timothy 2:4
God ” who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (ESV).
Do you see that?
This is the desire of God that ALL PEOPLE (GREAT QUANTITY) be saved and Come to the knowledge of the truth (HIGH QUALITY).
It is estimated that the current world population is over 8 Billion.
According to: https://www.worldometers.info/
As I am typing now the numbers are increasing by 10 or more every second.
And more people are dying. The last time I checked about 28 Million people are dead this year alone, and it is increasing by the tens of thousands daily and every micro second.
The question is how many are saved?
It is estimated by Pew Research that there are about 2.4 Billion Christians as at 2021.
Who should reach out to the remaining 5.6 Billion or more people?
Yes, it’s believed the number of “Christians” keep increasing but its at a slow pace as compared to the previous years.
How many of these population of Christians have actually come to the knowledge of the truth?
We are not to joke with discipleship and we are not to say, we are okay with one (1) disciple by each active Christian. It is great but that is not what we should be dreaming of.
We must dream of being involved in the fulfillment of God’s dream in a large extent.
It is possible for each saint to disciple about 20 to 50 people with HIGH QUALITY.
It is possible!!!
It is possible to dream of reaching out to thousands of people as a Church in a locality.
We are not to permit anyone to perish.
We may not reach the world at the same time as individuals but we can do it as a team.
If every saint is taking on his or her immediate sphere with much passion and diligence; and he or she dominates it with the gospel of our LORD JESUS, we will have GREAT QUANTITY being saved. And also bring them to the knowledge of the truth (that is HIGH QUALITY).
Evangelizing and Discipleship is the way forward. Each person must be involved.
According to Bible.org:
Ninety-five percent of all Christians have never won a soul to Christ.
Eighty percent of all Christians do not consistently witness for Christ.
Less than two percent are involved in the ministry of evangelism.
Seventy-one percent do not give toward the financing of the great Commission.
One particular denomination did a survey on its leadership ministries. The results are as follows:
63% of the leadership in this denomination, including deacons and elders, have not led one stranger to Jesus in the last two years through the method of “Go Ye” evangelism.
49% of the leadership ministries spend zero time in an average week ministering outside of the church.
89% of the leadership ministries have zero time reserved on their list of weekly priorities for going out to evangelize.
99% of the leadership ministries believe that every Christian, including leadership, has been commanded to preach the gospel to a lost world.
97% believe that if the leadership had a greater conviction and involvement in evangelism, that would be an example for the church to follow.
96% of the leadership believe their churches would have grown faster if they would have been more involved in evangelism.
That leadership survey is true in most Churches across the globe.
The world population is increasing right from the immediate communities we live in.
We shouldn’t be careful to dream!
The Holy Spirit is our advantage in this labour. By the Spirit of the LORD we can cover the earth with the gospel as the waters cover the sea.
We don’t have to leave evangelism and discipleship in the hands of only few people.
We must all be involved.
The ministry of reconciliation is not in the hands of few people. It’s committed to every new creation.
Don’t sit on the fence. Get to work, set goals now.
YOU ARE THE MAN FOR THE JOB!
Shalom

Thank you Apostle
As I fellowship with today’s Machaira my hurt is just burning
1 Corinthians 9:16
Wow,
It is time we go all out for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We should spare no one in this journey.
All must come to accept Jesus Christ and come to the knowledge of the truth of God’s word.
All must be baptized in our Lord Jesus Christ and be thought to observe whatever, they have been taught in truth. This will allow the gospel to be spread in its full power
It is also very wonderful that it was the scattering of the saints by Saul that led the gospel to be preached everywhere.
It is so sad that the people of Israel did not heed to the voice of God by getting rid of the foreign gods.
It is so intriguing that the people amidst all the warnings and signs went back to worship other foreign gods as seen in 2nd Kings 17 32-33 They honored and worshiped God, but not exclusively—they also appointed all sorts of priests, regardless of qualification, to conduct a variety of rites at the local fertility shrines. They honored and worshiped God, but they also kept up their devotion to the old gods of the places they had come from.
But finally, a king rises up and decides to get rid of them. It is so wonderful that the bible clearly shows us that he did not follow the evil ways of his ancestors but rather was to the standard of David.
18 1-4 In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz began his rule over Judah. He was twenty-five years old when he became king and he ruled for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah. In God’s opinion, he was a good king; he kept to the standards of his ancestor David. He got rid of the local fertility shrines, smashed the phallic stone monuments, and cut down the sex-and-religion Asherah groves. As a final stroke he pulverized the ancient bronze serpent that Moses had made; at that time the Israelites had taken up the practice of sacrificing to it—they had even dignified it with a name, Nehushtan (The Old Serpent).
WHY WILL HEZEKIAH STOOP SO LOW TO SUBMIT TO THE KING OF ASARIA?
DID HE DOUBT THE POWER OF GOD TO DELIVER ISREAL EVEN FROM FIERCE BATTLES?
CHECK THIS OUT IN 2ND KINGS 18 verses 13-14 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the outlying fortress cities of Judah and captured them. King Hezekiah sent a message to the king of Assyria at his headquarters in Lachish: “I’ve done wrong; I admit it. Pull back your army; I’ll pay whatever tribute you set.”
14-16 The king of Assyria demanded tribute from Hezekiah king of Judah—eleven tons of silver and a ton of gold. Hezekiah turned over all the silver he could find in The Temple of God and in the palace treasuries. Hezekiah even took down the doors of The Temple of God and the doorposts that he had overlaid with gold and gave them to the king of Assyria.
I refuse to submit or conform to the systems of this world amidst presures.
THE CHURCH MUST STAND UP AND REFUSE TO BOW TO BAAL/ THE god OF THIS WORLD.
Indeed there is nothing new under the sun. THe world might try to make you feel that you are far behind but fellow brethren please hold unto what God has said.
Numbers 23 verse 19
New International Version
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
1 Corinthians 2 verse 9
However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—
I DONOT REMAIN SILENT. MY BOAT IS IN MY LORD AND THE FLEETING PLEASURES OF TIME
36 The people were silent. No one spoke a word for the king had ordered, “Don’t anyone say a word—not one word!”
37 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, the palace administrator, and Shebna the royal secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the court historian went back to Hezekiah. They had ripped their robes in despair; they reported to Hezekiah the speech of the Rabshakeh
Necessary has been laid on me to preach the gospel
Word unto me if I don’t preach the gospel
Hallelujah
I set Goals I am the Man for the Job!!
Gloryy..
I don’t make excuses, I get the job done.
