ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Wednesday 24th January 2024 1 Corinthians 1.23[NKJV] But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, THE CHRIST WE PREACH As we prepare for this message to speak it out to men, what you have to know is that many different kinds of people view it through different lenses if their understanding and lifestyles of perspectives. Apostle Paul writes this letter telling us that the message we preach is Christ - the anointed and Him crucified But bringing out the perspectives of how the world receives this message is different;  To the Jews who still believe that Christ is not the Messiah, they are still waiting for another saviour that will come and rule over Israel in the physical sector as a normal world king. This causes them not to believe this message and it looks like an untrue story and without power. And to the Gentiles[other people in this world], it seems to be an ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Tuesday 23rd January 2024 Matthew 24.14 (NKJV) And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. THE GOSPEL TILL THE END From this portion of scripture, Matthew is telling us that this good news of the kingdom of God about the salvation only through Jesus Christ; Take kin not that He is not using the word ABOUT but rather he uses OF the kingdom meaning this good news is also a part of the kingdom and not just an empty message about the kingdom. That is the exact reason why we preach The Gospel which is Jesus Christ and Him crucified and resurrected as the good good news to the whole world.  As a witness because for one to be a witness must be a person who was present when this crucifixion and resurrection was taking place; knowing that we have been crucified with Christ and risen with him; And by The Faith in Jesus Christ we become true...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Monday 22nd January 2024 Matthew 9:37-38[NKJV] Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." LABOURERS Many times when we happen to get onto this scripture it's very easy to say it in context,but when it comes to it's actual interpretation; Jesus was telling His disciples that they have to just ask/pray to the Lord OF THE HARVEST to send more labourers; This doesn't mean there were no labourers but rather the ones that were there currently could not be able to get into every remote area for even the last bit of the harvest. This is why He comes in Chapter 28:18 He let's them know that all the exousia which is a form of power has been given to him and He also delegated it to the disciples to make disciples not just converts;  This is because we are participating in the ...

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday, 21st January, 2024 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV But you [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; THE CHOSEN We have been set apart to show others the goodness of God. He has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Many are invited but few are chosen. This implies that you, the chosen one is precious and honoured in God's sight. He knows you by name and you are a holy, dedicated, and consecrated priest of God meant to offer spiritual sacrifices to God.

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Tuesday 16th January,2024 Genesis 50:20 As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. GOD'S PLAN Whatever the enemy means for evil against us, the Lord our God turns it around for our good. The enemy insighted Joseph's brothers to conspire against him but surprisingly, God was aware and yet still in control. Those who chase you, chase you from behind and as you run infront,they don't know that they are chasing you to your destiny. Joseph is sold out to the Egyptians by his brothers not knowing that they were transporting him to where he would rule as a governor. ✍️ Child of God, always be confident and thankful to God no matter the circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. The accuser accuses us before God day and night but God is on our side. Weeping may be for the night but joy comes ...

He even went to the extent of giving out His only beloved son because of love. However so many people take it for granted not fully grounded in this love of God. How much do you love the Lord your God? As per the theme scripture,we ought to love the Lord with every essence of our being. With all our heart,soul and strength. Nothing should ever purge us away from this love of God and for God. ✍️ Two cannot walk together unless they agree. It's until you follow God's lead that you'll walk on the same direction.

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Saturday 13th January 2024 John 14:15-16 NKJV "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever THE COMMANDMENT OF THE LORD In this portion of scripture, Jesus is telling his disciples that they have to keep His commandments then by that is when He will ask God the Father to send them the helper, that will abide with them forever. Mark 12:30 - 31 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Wednesday 10th January 2024 2 Corinthians 3:18 NKJV But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. TRANSFORMED TO CHRIST LIKENESS Initially the Bible affirms it that God with His great and mighty cabinet sat down and made utterances saying "Now let's make man in our own image". This utterance is proved to have been backed up with actions that's why you and I do exist but for a purpose and a task to fulfill. It is one thing to know and hear about God and it is another thing of uniqueness to know and hear God. The Bible says that those who acknowledged Christ Jesus their personal lord and Savior He gave audacity to become heirs of the kingdom. Besides when this kind of acknowledgement is made life ceases to bring the same, things are started being perceived in another ki...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Tuesday 9th January 2024 Mark.12.30 NKJV And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment.[NKJV] THE HEART OF LOVE One could be saying, this is part of the law of Moses but we have to see Christ therein as children of God who know that God's heart is a heart of Charity or compassion. In this potion of scripture, Jesus was typically answering the scribes and Him trying to bring the point home had to first let them know that the most important thing is to know the Lord your God as one and that is The Lord Jesus Christ. This sounded like He hadn't answered them but then our theme verse is where He explained the previous verse saying you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart[person], soul[mind] and strength[energy]. Jesus Christ was literally bringing out the whole law of Moses and summariz...

ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY ~ DEVOTIONS Bible study department Monday 8th January 2024 1 John 4:18 NKJV There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. LOVE NOT FEAR The type of fear we are sharing about is not the reverential fear of someone or God but rather the ungodly fear/terror/dread/cowardice. The time you see you are fearing just know there is a certain understanding of God that is wanting in that particular aspect of your life. And this calls for a completeness and perfect Love that we studied about yesterday. The Bible is telling us that perfect/complete love casts out fear but for us to grow in this love and make it perfect requires a certain knowledge and understanding of the teaching of the Word of Truth. Child of God, The foundation of this love has already been laid in you the day you received Him.  And all you can do is to create room for His knowledge of the Word ...

The king replied ,"If the LORD does not help you,where can I get help for you?From the threshing floor?From the winepress?   KNOWING WHERE OUR HELP COMES FROM Our theme scripture today we are challenged a lot.  The lady was confident that since may be the king had all the power, He would help her but he didn't. Think about this question, "If the LORD does not help you,where can I get help for you?" People can disappoint you but God can never A perfect a example is king David, he knew exactly where his help would come from. Our full hope, faith and trust must be in the Lord because he swore by his word that He will never leave us nor forsake us. ✍️ Child of God, you may reach a point where you can not go left, right, front or back but just remember there...

  ELGON MISSION TEAM DAILY  DEVOTIONS Bible study department Wednesday 3rd January 2024 1 John 4:8 [AMP] He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. TO LOVE IS MY PERSONALITY The scripture is showing us that whoever does not love does not and never did Know Him. One would ask themselves, 'how can it be that I have not known this God yet I've been serving Him or I've been going to Church and fellowships with my friends' Loving with the God kind of Love is not only in speech or just habits but in the depth with which you know God. When we come to the knowledge of Christ Jesus, we encounter God made manifest in the flesh and this is the ultimate testimony that a child of God has in their lives. This was only done on a foundation that God loved the world so much that he left everything in the heaven of heavens and came the sinful flesh. As a child of God you when receive Christ as your Lord and savior, you are ...
