TEXT:LUKE 14:25-33 MEMORY VERSE:``` For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?" (LUKE 14:28). Christian discipleship is the process by which a disciple - a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ - grows in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and is equipped by the Holy Spirit, who resides in his or her heart, to overcome the pressures and trials of this present life and become more and more Christ-like. This process involves putting Jesus first in all things, following Christ's teachings, fruitfulness in life and ministry, love for other disciples, commitment to evangelism, and readiness to lay down one's life for the cause of Christ. Churches today house hundreds of people, but few disciples. Following Jesus is not a walk in the park. It is an all-out commitment to abide by all the teachings and demands of Christ. It is also a voluntary decision. Every convert or believer in Christ mu...

TEXT: EXODUS 14:1-31; 15:3-10; 1 CHRONICLES 14:8-17. MEMORY VERSE: "The Lord is a man of war: The Lord is His name." EXODUS 15:3 - New International Version. MESSAGE: No one on earth, in the world below and above can stand to challenge God Almighty. It is a terrible thing to fall into the anger of God. God said, "I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine." (Isaiah 49:26a, NIV). When Pharoah and the people of Egypt tried to fight against the children of Israel, who were God's own people, they faced the great punishment. At the end, Pharaoh and his soldiers died in the red sea.  In the book of Exodus 14:14, God said, "I will fight for you." When you are standing with God, He will fight for you. In whatever situation you find yourself, call on the God of battle and He will rise to fight that battle for you. There was a crusade I held long ago in a certain town, where some gunmen came and shot at m...

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 6:8-10; EPHESIANS 5:21-33 MEMORY VERSE "So be careful how you live. Don't live like ignorant people,  but like wise people." EPHESIANS 5:15. MESSAGE: It is a foolish thing for one to open the door of his/her life for enemies to come in and destroy it. When you expose the weakness of your partner in public, you are exposing your marriage to the enemies to destroy.  If you are a woman who is financially buoyant than the man, do not brag about it in the public that you are the one taking care of the house. When you do this, you are destroying your marriage. If God blesses you and you bring the money home to share with your husband and children, is it a crime? Of course not! Both of you are one. (See Genesis 2:24). If you go out and tell people that you are the one feeding yourself, is there any wisdom in it? Your husband or wife is yourself. Taking good care of him/her is never a big deal. If your husband is not financially buoyant to take care of the family,...
