TOPIC: THE MORE THE MERRIER

MEMORISE:

“How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?” - (Deuteronomy 32:30)

READ: ECCLESIASTES 4:9-12 (KJV)

9  Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

MESSAGE:

The more we are in our local assemblies, the merrier our services will be. If we are not many, how can we make a joyful noise? The more we are, the louder the noise we can make, and the merrier it will be to praise God together. Let me tell you what I believe to be the origin of clapping. One day, the fingers woke up and heard the birds singing, and they said, “O God, we also want to praise You.” They tried to make a sound individually, but no sound came. Suddenly, they said, “If two of us should cooperate, maybe we can produce some sound.” So, one finger cooperated with another finger, and they discovered that there was a little snapping sound. They took it further, and one finger cooperated with the other palm. They made a better sound, and then another finger decided to join in. The sound improved, and yet another finger joined in. Before long, all the fingers were jamming together in praise, making a joyful noise to the Lord.

In the same token, the more we are, the greater our impact will be in the world. When we are many, the impact we will make cannot be ignored because it will be significant. When ten people come together against a policy of the government, the government can easily ignore them. However, when 10,000 people come together to speak against the same policy, it will be very difficult for the government to ignore them. The governing powers in the environment where your local assembly is situated will take you more seriously when you are many. As a result, your local assembly can influence the culture and policies in that environment.

When we are many, projects become easier to accomplish. When ten people come together to do something, they will have to put in a lot of effort and personal resources to get it done. However, if 100 people come together to do the same thing, they obviously will need less individual effort and personal resources to get that thing done. Therefore, projects are done faster and easier when we are many.

Beloved, if truly God is your father, you should be committed to the expansion of His kingdom. Preach the gospel anywhere you find yourself and set a personal target to win at least one soul to Christ per day. If you cannot go to the mission field, support missionaries with your prayers and your personal resources. The more Christians we have around the world, the greater our impact will be.

ACTION POINT

Make it a point of duty to preach the gospel to at least one person every day.

 Daniel 6:22 (KJV)  My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. May  God arise for you, release an angel to shield you, nullify the plans the enemy had against you, gather them together and put them instead in that trap they had for you, keep you safe and victorious to glorify His name in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

DATE: THURSDAY MARCH 14TH, 2024.

THEME: THE GREAT COMMISSION

MEMORISE: 

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Mark 16:15

READ: Matthew 28:19-20 

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

MESSAGE

After Jesus' resurrection, He showed Himself to His disciples. He did this for two major reasons. The ‘first was for them to see Him and know that He wasn't dead but alive (1 Corinthians 15:6). The second reason was to give them final instructions before leaving the earth. What instruction was so important that He had to give them before leaving? That instruction is in Mark 16:15-18

Now that He had paid the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus said "Go and tell everyone around the world that they don't have to perish in hell. If they can just believe in Me, they will have power over sicknesses, demons, and poisons and also end up in heaven rather than hell." This is the instruction He gave to His disciples before He left. Are you one of His disciples? If your answer is Yes', have you been obeying this instruction? Have you been preaching the gospel to sinners?

How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Romans 10:14

I want you to ponder on the Bible verse above and on the fact that many people will go to hell if no one tells them about the gospel. Ponder on the fact that some of your friends, neighbors, and colleagues may go to hell if you don't tell them about Jesus Christ. A man had a dream where he saw an angel coming from hell with a letter for him. The angel said, "This letter is from somebody who said he knows you." The fellow was his friend. In the letter, he wrote, "l am here because you didn't tell me about the

dangers of this place. In all the years we were together, you did not tell me I was heading for danger." The man woke up, and as soon as it was daybreak, he went to his friend's house to preach the gospel to him. When he knocked on the door, a fellow came to open it and said, "You have heard?" He responded, "Heard what?" The fellow replied, "Your friend passed away in the night." This man could have saved his friend from eternal damnation. Give your friends and colleagues the opportunity to escape eternal damnation; tell them about Jesus Christ. Tell everyone you come in contact with about Jesus Christ.

REFLECTION

How will you feel if any of your friends went to hell because you did not tell them about Jesus Christ and the dangers of hell? Preach to them now!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Judges 6-8

AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 20: STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus

ye soldiers of the cross;

lift high his royal banner,

it must not suffer loss.

From vict'ry unto vict'ry

his army he shall lead

till ev'ry foe is vanquished

and Christ is Lord indeed.

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the trumpet call obey;

forth to the mighty conflict

in this his glorious day.

Ye that are men now serve him

against unnumbered foes;

let courage rise with danger

and strength to strength oppose.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

stand in his strength alone;

the arm of flesh will fail you,

ye dare not trust your own.

Put on the gospel armor,

each piece put on with prayer;

where duty calls or danger,

be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

the strife will not be long;

this day the noise of battle,

the next, the victor's song.

To him that overcometh

a crown of life shall be;

he with the King of glory

shall reign eternally.
