Bible Study: Week of February 11 – February 17, 2018

Visit here to submit Prayer Requests

Overview: God does not want us to worry about our daily provisions. Instead, we must trust Him when things are scarce. By totally depending on God for our resources, He will also reward us with people who will support us in our ministry work. Let’s never take those individuals for granted, instead, find opportunities where we can take a blessing bowl to them by creating ways to say thank you.

We all have to admit that life is uncertain and hard. So, when God gives us an assignment that seems difficult, we must trust His faithfulness to go before us and lead us into a place of goodness whether it’s here on earth or in heaven. However, while we patiently wait for the return of Christ, He told us to occupy until He returns. Therefore, let’s pray that God will continue to equip us to be His missionaries.

Whether He sends us near or far, we must be mindful to live godly lives as we serve Him and others as the day of the Lord approaches. We must not get so busy with our works that we forget to embrace the love that God extends to us every day. In doing so, we too will be able to show the same love and hospitality to all men, even strangers as we reach out to help those in need.

Thoughts from Sister Clovia Thompson 

Be A Missionary

Jesus said in Mark 16:15 “Go ye into all the world

and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Go, Go, Go, the Bible says to go

To every land until everyone should know

That Jesus died on Calvary’s Tree

To bring to all salvation is free

Oh who will go? Will you go?

Pray, Pray, Pray. the Bible says to pray

That reapers may harvest lost souls or they should die today

That everyone who never heard

Be plainly told the blessed Holy Word

Oh who will pray? Will you pray?

Give, Give, Give, the Bible says to give

Give your service, time, and money too that everyone may live

How much to give?  With open hand

For Jesus sake, give all you can

Oh, who will give? Will you give?
