It Is Time To Lead

The church of God is a training institute, it is a teacher and leadership training institute.

Scripture Reading 

[Hebrews 5:11-12 KJV] “Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.”

The church is not just a clinic; but a training institute where the sick, sinners, and the bound receive the Word and promise of God. They become empowered through the blessing after the promises are fulfilled in their lives and ought to graduate to become teachers.

The church may be a clinic but we don’t have professional clinicians working in there; every church must have former patients who have found healing and health to teach and help others to find healing and health too.

In psalm 51, the psalmist assured the Lord that if he found forgiveness, he would teach sinners the way of salvation. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. (Psalm 51:13 KJV)

As we come in through the corridors of the church, we must strive to become teachers and not spectators. We must crave for a total Christian experience that will empower us to influence the world around us.

Strive for the total Christian experience that will make you a teacher. Strive to

1. Use milk to grow in the faith;

Don’t skip the milk age; without milk, you cannot be prepared for the use of meat. The proper use of milk is to makes you skillful in the use of the Word of righteousness.

2. Move on to use meat;

Meat nourishes for maturity. Strive to use meat and the Word of righteousness skilfully.

3. Be enlightened by the truth;

Every useful believer is enlightened by the truth. We cannot afford to be ignorant and dull in a digital and information age. One smart idea can transform your fortune. One business idea from God transformed the business fortunes of Jacob (See Genesis 30:25-431). Now, Jesus is that true light that lights everyone to comes to the earth (John 1:92) Receive that real encounter with Jesus!

Stay blessed, I love you

1. Genesis 30:25-43 (KJV): And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee. And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also? And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock: I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire. So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me. And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word. And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons. And he set three days journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks. And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods. And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted. And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban’s cattle. And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods. But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger Jacob’s. And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses. ↩︎
