ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible study department Wednesday 29th November, 2023 Philippians 4:4 AMP Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice! REJOICE IN THE LORD To rejoice is a call to joy and often used as a salutation. Sometimes, Jesus would walk into a room and immediately call people to joy. Joy is more than just happiness.  In all circumstances, regardless of what is taking place on the outside, we ought to rejoice always in the Lord. This rejoicing comes because of the assurance that we have in Christ, about what He has said and promised. This provokes positiveness even in challenging times because you know Him who you trusted is faithful. Our rejoicing comes when we understand and believe the word of God about us, when we cast all our cares to Him and allow Him take the lead in all things/affairs of life, knowing that he has only good plans for us. Our rejoicing comes when we understand and believe the word o...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible study department Monday 27th November, 2023 Hosea 10:12(NLT) I said, 'Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.' THE FRUIT OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS The theme scripture today paints to us the picture that tells us or rather that assures us that righteousness is a seed which seed is mandated to produce fruit.  In the old testament, People had to do the acts of righteousness which acts where meant to produce fruit but they failed to act right.  However, our theme scripture also gives us a promise that a day would come where God himself would come and shower his righteousness upon us. This came to pass because according to 2 Cor 5:21, Christ was made our righteousness which now makes it possible for us to bare the fruit of love.  This means that we cannot struggle a...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible study department Sunday 26th November, 2023 1 Corinthians 13:2  Though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. THE GREATEST GIFT Much as we may have the capacity to perform great signs and wonders but if we have not understood this greatest gift, then all we do is vanity. Love is the driving force behind the gospel and everything else in this world. Everyone, good and bad desires to be loved. The Christ we preach came because of love to restore us back to the Father. Love bears forth results. Let's not claim to love others by just lips. Christ loves us and that is why He laid down His life for us. As the new week has begun, let's go out there and show the Agape love to God's people.. Further study John 14:15 John 15:12 Prayer Father I thank you for your Word. Teach me Lord to love everyone you...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Friday 24th November,2023 Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew [their] strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. WAITING ON THE LORD The Lord our God strengthens only those who wait on Him. He says that if they don't fly, atleast they will run but if they don't run, then they will walk but their strength shall not faint. Waiting on the Lord does not imply that things are going to be easy. The rains of hardships will come, streams of pain and loss will rise and the winds of trials and tribulations will blow and beat against you but you can not fall if your foundation is on the rock Jesus. ✍️ Let us then lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us and look unto Jesus,the author and finisher of our faith.  Further study Psalm 125:1 Prayer Father I thank you for today's revelation. I refus...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION Bible study department  Thursday 23rd November,2023 John 15:16 " You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you."NKJV BEARING FRUIT Jesus in the book of Matthew curses the fig tree because it was fruitless. He goes ahead to tell us in the above scripture that He chose us to go and bear fruit. However,claiming that we are Christians but when we are without fruit is simply wrong for a curse lies on the one who refuses to do the Work of the Lord. As we move on with our daily lives,let us produce results of our salvation. Be fruitful and multiply,fill the earth and subdue it.  ✍️ What shows that we are Christ's followers is actually the results that we produce for we are written epistles that are read by everyone. And When the Oil(the Holy Spirit) is still in your lamp(life), you will keep burni...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION Bible study department Monday 20th, November,2023 Matthew 5:14 " You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden... NKJV LET IT SHINE God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Once He has spoken to you,His Word shall be permanent for it cannot return to Him void.  He has made you the light of the entire World. The attitude of the "I can not",should therefore not be perceived in us because we are His ambassadors on earth. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. ✍️ Break forth thereof and let your light shine. Arise from wherever you are and shine, then God's glory shall rest upon you. Give light to every soul that you encounter.

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION Bible study department Wednesday,15th November,2023 Matthew 13:52(KJV);  Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.”  TRUTH AND REVELATION In the life of the spirit, no truth is new, however, revelation is. What this means is that God has a way of getting the oldest truths and bringing out the newest revelations. I have heard people who boast that they have read the Bible several times over and have sang it line for line, verse by verse and precept upon precept. To them, that defines the extent of their knowledge of God and gives them the satisfaction that no more truth can be revealed from the Word. But that ought not to be so, child of God. Even a scripture that you have read a hundred times over is still capable of opening your eyes to the freshest revelation. God wants to give yo...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible study department Tuesday, 14th December 2023 ACTS 17:26-27 KJV And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him and find him though he be not far from every one of us  FEEL AFTER GOD The theme scripture reveals that God determined our appointed times and boundaries of habitation so we may seek him, FEEL AFTER Him and find Him.  Feeling after God means that you have His heart and mind towards things. What He loves, you love; what hurts Him, hurts you; what He attends to, you attend to.  Before God releases anything to your heart, He examines it to see whether it meets with how He feels about the things that matter to Him. For this reason, there are things God can never give you access to when He has not weighed how much you feel after...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible study department Monday 13th, November 2023    Acts 20:17-24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me- the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. FINISH YOUR TASK As I encountered different people going through tough times more so the children, I definitely felt that my entire passion was to build an orphanage before God calls me home but I did not know and come to the point of comprehending my life purpose.  But now I know that it is to enlarge the kingdom of the father and get to the brim of that which He purposed me for in this Earth by making His name famous, reaching out to many that they may come to the knowledge of the father as He desires that every man comes to the knowledge of salvation  Paul charged the Ephesus church elders to live significantly, focusing on their purpose and tasks. His task was testifying...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Friday 10th November,2023 Bible study department  Acts 13:2 NIV While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said," _Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."_  CALLED TO WORK As per the theme scripture, God has called us to work. Every person has a different role to act in the Kingdom of God of which it is the Holy Spirit who enables us.  When you received Christ in you, you also received the Spirit of power and not laziness. We are all God's workmanship. Kingdom work is not for the weak and the fearful and those who see God's work as a burden.  As God's chosen one, you submit and work for the one you love for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ✍️ However as the Bible cautions, cursed is he who refuses to do the Lord's work, therefore in whatever you do,let it be for the glory of God and not self.  It's not about perfection in the work, ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION Bible study department Tuesday, 7th November 2023 Hebrews 6.10 MSB God doesn't miss anything. He knows perfectly well all the love you've shown him by helping needy Christians, and that you keep at it. THE REWARD FOR THE WORK OF LOVE We know there are many things we do out there that at one point we always would like to hear a man tell us "thank you". But child of God, the only important thing you should value after doing something as a minister, it should be a work of love in that therein men are able to experience the love that God has given to mankind. In so doing, our theme scripture today tells us that God is NOT unrighteous to forget every little thing that you have done to minister any form of The Love Of God to the saints. ✍️ He will Reward every point of your labour only if your labour was ministering love to the saints. Further study 2 John 1:8 Prayer Father I thank you for your word about ministering love to the sai...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION  Bible Study Department Saturday, 4th November 2023   Isaiah 55:8-9 (NKJV)  " For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor [are] your ways My ways," says the LORD. " For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. GOD'S WAY It's impossible to put God in the box and very much impossible to cram the way He does things. It's impossible to use human reasoning to explain how God works. It is our obedience to His instructions that matters for our progress.  Every instruction from the Him carries more than enough power to bring true deliverance in our lives and totally change everything about you. Therefore choose to walk in total obedience Him doing all His will for there in is the power to transform our lives. ✍️ The ways of the Lord are excellent and perfect, far above those of men. We therefore have to walk in obedience to His instructions so as to...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY DEVOTIONS Friday, 3rd November 2023 Bible study department  Ephesians 2:20 - having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner[stone,]   ESTABLISHMENT ON A STRONG FOUNDATION Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together grows into an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the spirit  LET us, as day after day rolls by, remember our three-fold relationship to this Temple:  We are still in process of preparation as living stones.  1 corinthians 3:11 talks about the great foundation that has been laid already and us His elect whom He choose from the the start of the creation (Ephesians 1:4), and requires us to continue building onto this already prepared foundation like Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:10 Acknowledging Christ in whom we are rooted and realizing His attri...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY DEVOTIONS Bible Study Department Thursday, 2nd November 2023 2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. FORGIVENESS; IT STARTS WITH YOU    One of God's strategy of forgiveness is that He doesn't look at what you have done in the past but instead He calls you a new creature and the old is gone. Forgiveness is through forgetting, you only forgive by forgetting the past & start over the new life     Forgiveness begins with you. You first forgive yourself even before the person you wronged forgives you. Yeah your mistakes can come with scars but you have to accept it that it happened and forget the past then you start over. It's all about forgetting the pain, anger and the hurt which came with that mistake. The reason why forgiveness starts with us, is that we may protect our hearts from anything especially anxiety because...
