WOMEN IN THE SERVICE OF GOD IN THIS END TIME

1 COR 9:16: Women in this end time speaking the truth. the Samaritan woman in the bible no one showed her love but when she came in contact with Jesus she became an evangelist. There are many Samaritan women among us who have not heard about the truth. we know about Mary Magdalene in the bible but Jesus for once did not condemn her, rather Jesus showed her love. she was the first to see Jesus on the day of resurrection. There are some Samaritan women close to you that no one has ever shown love or care, you see them going to the club not because they are happy going there most of them go to club because no hope for them; We as women in the service of God lets try to preach love, because Jesus is love. That is why he came to give us hope by dying for us. When you condemn the prostitute how then can they come to Jesus? please be curious about them and tell them about the love of God. Jesus don't count our sins. Hebrew 8:12. Jesus love the prostitute, they should come as they are Jesus is ready to accept them because he said he will remember there sin no more. We also need to encourage them with the word of God.

As a woman in the service of God in this end time you must have passion for people not someone that makes trouble, because when you are someone that makes trouble everywhere, no one will tell you what he/she is going through.

God has given women the spirit of patient. For instance watch in our homes when you have the children with our husbands they can't stay with them throughout but you as a mother you can patiently stay with the children throughout the day. So we need to be patient with our new converts. I pray that God will help us. 

RAISING YOUR CHILDREN

HOW TO BRING UP YOUR CHILDREN WITH A DIFFERENCE

1. Speak positive words into the lives of your children
2. Give your children the best education you can.
3. Teach your children the fear of the lord. Gen 39 vs 9.
4. Be best of friends and a good counselor to your children.
5. Spare not the rod. (proverb 23:13)

For any child to have  a glorious destiny, God must be in total control of such life. Mothers, rise and speak light into the lives of your children and i can assure you that every form of darkness will give way.
We also have responsibility to intercede for the salvation of our children. That they were born into christian homes does not automatically make them born again. They must be ministered to in order for them to accept Jesus as their personal lord and Savior.
When a child is always speaking things that do not glorify God, that strange spirit is at work. When a godly and brilliant child suddenly becomes dull and wild overnight; it is the fruit of strange spirit. Our children's heart needs to be circumcised for them to develop unwavering love for God which in turn will make them love their parents especially at old age when such parents need them more. Your tomorrow is your offspring. in this perverse world, you need God who is able to perfect them and bring them to a better tomorrow with a difference. 2 timothy 3:1-7.

When you bring your child to God the child will blossom. (ps2:5)
When you bring your child to God the child becomes blessed (ps13:22)
When you bring your child to God the child's destiny becomes secure
The child becomes a Genius
The child becomes broken in spirit and teachable(Matt 3:3-8)
  

UNFORGIVING ATTITUDE

An unforgiving  attitude is someone that carries hatred for his brother or sister. An unforgiving spirit can lead to malice, retaliation, killing, picking offence, offending God.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FORGIVING MASTER AND UNFORGIVING SERVANT.
Matt: 18: 21-25
1. The king set him free from the debt of ten thousand talents but he put his debtors into prison for owing only hundred denari. Matt. 18: 24, 28.
2. The master was merciful but the servant was not.
3. The master showed compassion on the servant but the servant did not show compassion on his debtor.
4. The king was patient with the servant but the servant was not patient with his debtor.
5.The king forgave all the debts of the servant but the servant insisted that his debtor should pay all the debt.

When you refuse to forgive someone who offends you, you also will not be forgiven.
Unforgiving attitude makes heaven rejects your gifts
Unforgiving attitude hinders answers to prayers. Matt.6:15
Unforgiving attitude invokes the wrath of God and makes him to hand you over to tormentors. Prov. 11:21
Unforgiving attitude brings a harvest of evil deeds done to your offender upon you. Matt. 18:30-34.
Unforgiving attitude makes someone a candidate for hell.
Unforgiving attitude prevents you from benefiting from the cleansing power of Jesus. 1 Jhn 1:7-9.

MATHEW CHP 6 VS 15

"But if ye forgive not men their trespasses neither will your father forgive your trespasses."

A DOUBTING MIND

A Doubting mind is like a wave of the sea blown and tossed by the wind. James chp 1 vs 5-7.
A Doubting mind will not believe until it sees or touches.
A Doubting mind is not steadfast.
A Doubting mind places priority on the report of man rather than the report of the lord.

CONSEQUENCES OF DOUBT

1. Doubt makes God hide his face from the doubtful fellow. Deut. 32 vs 20
2. Doubt sinks a man in the storm of life. Matt 14:28-30
3. Doubt makes a man miss God's provision for his life. Num. 13:27-33
4. Doubt produces worry
5. Doubt produces fear
6. Doubt is sin.

HOW TO CONTROL DOUBT

1. Stand in faith
2. keep your gaze from anything capable of breeding doubt, fear and unbelief.
3. feed on the word of God daily. Heb 10:23
4. keep your focus on the word of God. prov 4: 20-23

Mathew 14:23-33
Faith made peter walk on water but doubt made him to sink.
Doubt makes the storm/wind look boisterous but faith makes it to calm/cease. Doubt is like a cover which may not allow someone to see Christ in a storm but faith opens the eyes to discover that the lord is near.
