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

Donate Life on earth is unpredictable. Times and seasons change naturally. A rich person today may become a poor person tomorrow and a poor person today may become a rich person tomorrow. Thus, one important ministry churches of Christ need to pay greater attention to, in this generation, is the …

Donate You probably have read about Church service in previous articles on this website. In this short but revealing teaching, I want us to explore three important truths about services that are rendered in churches. Service Is Worship First, serving in the church is not just activity—it is worship. True …

We Christians must understand that a call to follow Jesus is a call to serve. A born again Christian is not just a disciple of Christ Jesus but a servant; he serves God and humanity by his gifts, talents or abilities. What is your service in the Lord’s church as …

Donate It is said that leadership is everything and everything is leadership. This may mean that Christian leaders are partly responsible for successes or failures of churches they oversee.  A church of Jesus Christ has a pastor or pastors as servant leader(s), who oversee it by the Spirit of God. …

Donate Jesus Christ sets in His Church apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers to work as servant leaders. He tasks them to equip the saints for the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:11). This makes them facilitating ministers.  Earlier, the Lord Jesus had urged Peter and all His servants to feed, …

These programmes are: Certificate in Ministry, Diploma in Ministry, and Associate Degree in Ministry. Each is tailored to prepare students for effective Christian service. Certificate Programme …

Donate The majority of Christians have allowed themselves to be filled with pride. They boast because of their gifts and level in ministry.  The other day I heard Jesus saying, we did not choose Him but He chose us to bear fruits.  Indeed, God has backups. When Gehazi rejected a …

Donate Most people throughout the world including Christians know Satan as a malevolent supernatural being. He does not just accuse Christians before God, he steals, kills and destroys. Biblical accounts state that Satan destroyed Job’s property, health and children (see Job 1 and 2). He also incited David to count …

Donate 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 …

Donate “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 …

Donate If you don’t think God takes murmuring seriously, read this: “Don’t murmur against God and his dealings with you as some of them did, for that is why God sent his angel to destroy them. All these things happened to them as examples… to warn us against doing the …

Donate 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 …

Donate “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 …

Donate “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 …

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 …

Avram Ben Moshe Debating Donate   The world is full of surprises. A bad person today can become a good person tomorrow and a good person today can become a bad person tomorrow. A blasphemer and critic of Jesus Christ, the gospel, the Bible  and the Church today can become …

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. It is worrying that many Church leaders today pay greater attention to the things aforementioned, thinking that they make them leaders. …

Donate Rev. Obofour Some self-styled church leaders in Ghana do not want any pastor branded as false, charlatan, imposter or fake. According to them, pastors of all denominations or churches in Ghana and other parts of the world are the same, stressing that none is better than the other. One …

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 …
