TOPIC:
TOTAL
COMMITMENT (THEME)
TEXT:
{Ps
37:5, Deut 26:19; Rom 12:1-2; 1Cor 9:27; 2Cor 5:17}
FOCUS:
Towards
building a committed worker
NOTE- Commitment can be defined by the Oxford
Dictionary as a promise to do something or behave in a particular a way. Now
committing yourself to the Lord can be said to mean entrusting everything (our
lives, families, jobs, possessions) to his control and guidance. It takes a
born again to be able to be committed to the will of GOD; that is way it’s
essential for every person to be born again. The moment you receive Jesus as
your Lord and Saviour, now you have promised to walk in his ways and do
everything He tells you. The Lord declared today that you are His people, his
own special treasure, just as He promised, and that you must obey all His
commands. And if you do He will set you high above all the other nations He has
made. Then you will receive praise, honour, and renown... (Deut 26:17-19). Let’s
take this step further. When the Old Testament priest entered ministering they
went through a rite called ‘consecration’. From that moment they belonged
exclusively to God and were committed to obey Him in all things. You say, ‘what
does any of this have to do with me’. A lot: if you want God to use you, then
you must commit yourself to doing His will and that includes your time, talent,
treasure, body, mind, spirit and your all. For God to use you, you can’t
marginalize or compartmentalise God.
Now
we must that God wants a total commitment without sin, hypocrisy and murmur.
The recognition of sin is the beginning of salvation. He’s feeling bad about
your sin that leads to feeling good about God’s grace. Commit yourselves to the
work of God. ‘’Therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast, immovable, always abounding
in the work of the Lord knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.’’
You were saved to serve.
God
wants total commitment.
PRAYER: LORD TODAY I GIVE MYSELF FULLY TO YOU TO
BE USED IN YOUR SERVICE AS YOU SEE FIT.
SONG
BEHIND SONG MINISTRATION...
‘’Stand’’
which is the title of the song means living fully in Christ. It is impossible
to serve two masters. It is either you are for Christ or for the devil. If you
are for Christ there is need for total commitment.
How much
of a Christian are you?
Can you
still stay in Christ in the midst of trials?
These
are the questions we must answer sincerely to ourselves. Today the message in
this song is to still stay in Christ for the trumpet will soon sound.
‘’NOTE’’
It is
better to reject the world and be counted by Christ than accept the world and
on the last day look up to heaven from hell in tears of regret.

What is
commitment?
Who is
committed? When is it the time to be committed?
Commitment
is defined as the dedication to a cause or purpose. Like a factory with many
departments in need of people to serve in these departments, so as to move the
department forward and make it functionally progressive, like Jesus said “any
tree that does not bear fruit shall be uprooted and thrown into the fire” {Luke
13:6-9}.
It’s for
all those who serve in the house of God to be willing to serve in the house of
God. Willingness is a requirement for an effective, spirit – led service in any
department you find yourself in. As this was required of the Macedonian church
in {2Cor 8:3-5}.
A
Christian who is Christ – like is to be committed at all times because the
bible says that work while it’s still day for when its night men do not work.
So it’s necessary to work while you still young the strength and vibrancy of
the youth and not when you get old, as you won’t be able to serve.
Finally,
brethren, whatever you hand is laid on to do, do with all diligence and all
sense of dedication because the hour comes when no ones will be able to work.
FOUNDATION
SCHOOL

Foundation
school is a primary institution in Pentecostal Fellowship of Madonna University
{PFM}. This institution deals with the building of disciples for Christ. As the
name implies the essence is to lay a starting point and direction for that
willing child of God.
The
theme of foundation school is ‘’RESTORING FULLY THE GODLIKE IMAGE THROUGH THE
WORD AND THE SPIRIT’’. This also serves as a word charge and guide in our daily
lives, reminding us of our purpose on earth.
Furthermore,
foundation school is made up of six classes an exam class and an interview
session, making a summary of nine weeks. Our teachers are well mannered and
trained stewards. As we try to emulate the life of Jesus Christ on earth and we
uphold a virtuous lifestyle as our cardinal value of life. We do not promote or
entertain corruption of any sort in our school.
The
essence of foundation school is to graduate our students into working the field
of souls, which is our assignment as Christians.
In
conclusion for all those who don’t know where to start from in serving in the
house of God, foundation school will direct and position you to serve and keep
that fire ablaze for Christ.

TO
HOW IT CONCERNS YOU
By

To you who is stressed out this
day,
To all who seem to have lost
their way,
His will not yours should be the
page,
Upon the rock who set the stage,
For you to be alive – know this,
Your every breath was His blessed
kiss,
To you who think you know them
all,
Well built by God and brain so
tall,
Though you may think you are in
control,
Until your fall becomes the roll,
Not of rock where sin enfolds,
This story of yours has been
foretold,
Take time to know and learn of
other,
Who breathe this day but not just
another,
A friend not foe who also needs,
Someone like you to sow peace
seeds,
Solution ours to bond as
brothers,
United front an act smother,
Before you heard the voice of
truth,
Time would pass and show you
proof,
Of words that rung inside this
day,
Inside you to start today,
His voice you heard in pondering
heat,
Will grow in you and make impact.
HOW
TO PLAN YOU DAY RIGHT
By
Hephzibah
Karibo.
You will
certainly give account of how you spent every 24hours for every day of your
life. So time wasted can never be regained.
There is
never a successful man who is not time conscious. The way you handle the
24hours given to you each day, determines the way you handle your life.
God
gives us 24 hours every day but the question remain this; how many of us
achieve goals using this time given to us? To use time effectively you must
have a set plan for that day. People who do this have less time for gossips
{Pro 29:18}.
Again
people without vision perish thus where there is vision, people will be more
calculative of their time. They will invest time rather than spend it. Instead
of spending time with problem people why not invest time with potential people.
Time is not to be spent but invested so gain something from every time you
spend with something or someone. For it produces dividend.
Before
you sleep at night, look at the plans you have written for that day and tick
everyone that has been achieved. Thank God for it and pray that God helps you
to use your time wisely. To be successful in life you must learn how to invest
time.

Message
behind the drama ministration
It
has been discovered over time that some of us are neither here nor there, but a
time has come for us to arise and get back to the source and that ancient path.
A
lady, who is a believer and also a hypocrite, served in the church but never served
busy bodies and not committed workers, bench warmers and not God’s workers. She
served diligently but the pleasure and pressure of this world never afforded
her the opportunity to be fully and totally committed. Been given second
chance, she is asked to warn the church and the world and this is warning of
Christ:
‘’’He
who puts his hands in the plough and looks back is not of the kingdom’’ {Luke
9:62}.
I
f you are neither hot nor cold I will spit you out of my mouth. {Rev 3:16}.
Seek
ye the kingdom of God and its righteousness and every other thing shall be
added unto thee. {Matt 6:33}
“NOTE”
it would be bad if after the stress here on earth and the trumpet sounds and we
face judgement and then what we hear is:
GO
THEE BEHIND ME YE WORKERS OF INIQUITY I KNOW YOU NOT: {LUKE 13:27}.
God
needs a man who is “TOTALLY COMMITTED”
STAY
CONNECTED AND COMMITTED.
