clcgh.org Building The Capacity Of Christian Leaders, Equipping The Saints For The Work Of Ministry, Redirecting Straying Christians To The Sound Knowledge Of Christ

I stressed in the Part One that we Christians today organise what we call church services mostly on Sundays and Saturdays, but we have not seriously paid attention to the limitations of our services. Very often, during most services, the lead pastor alone teaches, prophesies, counsels, leads prayers, gives announcement, …

“Do all things without complaining”(Philippians 2:14, TLB). Paul writes: “Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights” (Philippians 2:14-15, TLB). What attitude did Paul …

Most churches organise services on Sundays and Saturdays. However, many Christians are not well informed about what it means to hold a church service. This article, therefore, attempts to help believers to understand it very well for their spiritual growth. A church service is often defined as a formal gathering …

“Righteousness…shall be imputed [transferred]” (Romans 4:22, 24 NKJV). Picture a transfer of funds from one account to another. Banks do it every day. Now imagine yourself destitute and unable to pay your debts. Then in an astounding act of grace, someone assumes all your debts and then transfers to your …

“When you have turned back, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32, NIV). Too often people are devalued or dismissed because of their life story. Sometimes it’s because of what they’ve done to others, sometimes it’s because of what’s been done to them. If you’ve been to a second-hand shop, you know …

A pastor is a servant-leader. He is an under-shepherd, serving the Great Shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ and His Church. Leaders serve other people as they go ahead of them and show them the way. So, often they are deserted and left alone. They are often left alone during tough …

Donate  Some people, particularly those unfamiliar with the nature of Christian ministry, mistakenly accuse pastors of being lazy. In their opinion, the multi-dimensional task of ministry including preaching, teaching, praying, providing emotional and spiritual counsel, performing church administration, mentoring individuals, visiting the sick, mediating conflict resolutions and leading community outreach …

Donate In our previous teaching, we firmly established this vital truth: spiritual preparation precedes divine visitation. We were also guided by this foundational principle: “The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual” (1 Corinthians 15:46, NIV). God opened His treasury—the heavens—and gave His covenant …

Donate In the Part One, we explained servanthood, service, equipment and facilitation as some of the key factors that characterise true Christian leadership. We will consider others in this part.  Pursuit of Purpose Christian leadership is about pursuing the purpose of God for your life. The Lord Jesus came into …

Donate The prophetic promise that the Bible profoundly reveals is that the Lord is coming to us as the rain—the former and the latter rain in the first month (Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23). Like the sons of Issachar, we must understand the times and seasons in order to know what …

Donate God commissioned Moses to deliver His covenant people, the Israelites, from Egypt—but His ultimate purpose extended beyond them to the nations. Through the plagues, God demonstrated His power by confronting and judging the gods of Egypt, revealing His supremacy. As a result, a mixed multitude—non-Israelites who witnessed His mighty …

Donate “The Scriptures point to me!” (John 5:39 NLT). To be used by God, you must know two things: first, who God is. A little girl in Sunday school was asked by her teacher what she was drawing. She replied, ‘A picture of God.’ The teacher said, ‘But nobody has …

Donate   In a previous article, we looked at what Christian leadership is not, highlighting the points that it is not concerned with position, title, lordship or big seat.

Donate The Christian Church is the community of all the believers or disciples of Jesus Christ. It is not a place but a people. Some of the believers are appointed as overseers and deacons (Philippians 1:1). They are leaders. The sad reality, however, is that many have shallow or wrong …

Donate   Some false pastors have been making false eschatological claims that Jesus Christ will not come again, and that people should live their lives, make money, drink, eat and enjoy themselves. These self-styled ministers who are leading many Christians astray often quote Matthew 16:27–28 to argue that Christ failed …
