Moving into Spiritual Maturity

A BIBLE STUDY PRESENTED AT THE DIOCESAN MEN’S ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD AT CHRIST ANGLICAN CHURCH, EFFURUN ON SATURDAY, 19TH AUGUST, 2023 THEME: Moving into Spiritual Maturity TEXTS: Acts 17:10-11; Hebrews 6: 1-2 INTRODUCTION This bible study is comparatively drawn in contrast to the background to the thriving performance of our wives, daughters and mothers, the Women’s Guild, Girls Guild and Mothers Union as the Christian Men’s Fellowship is the conglomeration of the relative arms of the aforementioned sections of the Women’s Organisations – the Christian Men’s Fellowship = Women’s Guild; Fathers Union = Mothers Union; sadly enough, we don’t have a functional comparison for the Girls’ Guild amongst the Men. This comparison is with the aim of motivating us to arise and take our rightful place and lead as ordained by the Lord. Going by the “giant stride” they are making we have no choice than compare ourselves to them as we still struggle to hold men prayer meetings at the paroch...

Welcome Holy Spirit

Welcome Holy Spirit Come, Holy Spirit, fill this place, With love and peace and cleansing grace. Descend on us in tongues of fire, Our hearts with righteous zeal inspire. Breathe life anew into our souls, And make us whole where brokenness holds. Refine our thoughts and purge our sin, That we may walk where Christ has been. Guide us in truth, You promised guide, As by Your light we shall abide. Teach us the way, and lead us on, Until the crown of life is won. Empower us to share Your word, With actions true and hearts that have heard. In all we do, be with us near, And make Your holy presence clear. Amen. [Peters Agamugoro]

And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and ...

CERTAINTY OF DEATH

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: WEDNESDAY, 22ND NOVEMBER, 2023  TOPIC:  CERTAINTY OF DEATH TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 9 1. For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works [are] in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred [by] anything [they see] before them. 2. All things [come] alike to all: One event [happens] to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so [is] the sinner; He who takes an oath as [he] who fears an oath. 3. This [is] an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing [happens] to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness [is] in their hearts while they live, and after that [they go] to the dead. 4. But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead ...

LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: TUESDAY, 21ST NOVEMBER, 2023.  TOPIC:  LIFE IS NOT FAIR.  TEXT: ECCLESIASTES 8 1. Who [is] like a wise [man?] And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed. 2. I [say,] "Keep the king's commandment for the sake of your oath to God. 3. "Do not be hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand for an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him." 4. Where the word of a king [is, there is] power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?" 5.  He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man's heart discerns both time and judgment, 6.  Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly. 7.  For he does not know what will happen; So who can tell him when it will occur? 8.  No one has power over the spirit t...

HE FEELS YOUR PAINS

THE DAILY FOUNTAIN DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE OF THE CHURCH OF NIGERIA (ANGLICAN COMMUNION) DATE: THURSDAY, 16TH NOVEMBER, 2023.  TOPIC: HE FEELS YOUR PAINS TEXT: HEBREWS 4:14-5:1-14 4:14  Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] confession. 15.  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all [points] tempted as [we are, yet] without sin. 16.  Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2. He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.  3. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.  4. A...
