Evangelist Isaac Omolehin Evangelist Isaac Omolehin, President and Founder of Word Assembly Ministries in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, recently shared his views on the current state of the Church in Nigeria at a meeting attended by Christian leaders. CLC editorial team has transcribed part of his message which has gone …

We Christians, particularly Pentecostal and Charismatic believers, offer praise and worship to God. In fact, we are serious about them, so we include them in most of our church services. However, the question is, do most of us really understand praise and worship? Do we know what they mean to …

“As he was about to enter Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know what a beautiful woman you are. When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live. Say you are my sister, so that …

The Bible commands God’s children to praise Him. We must praise God for what He does, what He has done, what He is doing and what He will do. The book of Psalms, in particular, is filled with calls to praise the Maker of the world. “Praise the LORD! Praise …

Donate To The Ministy One responsibility Christ Jesus has given to church leaders to perform is to teach all His commandments for believers to observe them (keep them, do them, act on them, obey them or practise them) (Matthew 28:18-20). In obedience to this instruction, servants of Christ have, since …

Donate When we talk about ministries in the Church, many focus attention on only the five-fold ministry gifts or the ascension gifts: apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral and teaching. Some even limit ministry to evangelism, church planting and pastoring. But this is poor understanding of ministry in the Church. Of course, …

Donate “He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth” (Genesis 8:11). One of the …

Donate To The Ministy The English word, “church” has two meanings among the Akans in Ghana and elsewhere. In this article, we want to understand the different meanings of the two words to help us worship God better. First, church means a place, an auditorium or a temple, where Christians …

Donate People often describe some pastors as great men of God, especially those who shepherd mega churches and wield national or global influence. Most of them are televangelists. They are also regarded as great men of God, considering their material wealth: aircrafts, luxury vehicles, impressive houses and their popularity. These …

Donate   Governments of nations arm their soldiers with guns, but Christ Jesus arms His soldiers, preachers of the gospel, with the Word of God and empowers them with His Spirit. The written Word of God is the Bible. It is, therefore, difficult to find apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers …

Donate Christians, particularly preachers and teachers of the gospel, follow Jesus Christ and learn from Him. Paul told Timothy he imitated Christ, showing that he was a servant of Christ, the Master (1 Corinthians 11:1). Servants of Christ, therefore, dare not argue or question the words of the Lord who …

Donate Every born again Christian has a measure of faith. But faith alone is not enough to make anyone a successful Christian. Peter, the apostle, urges believers to make every effort to add knowledge and other qualities to their faith (2 Peter 1:5). This article, therefore, explores the need for …

Donate The Lord Jesus Christ came into the world,  over two millennia ago, to atone for man’s sins and to reconcile him to God by His sacrifice on the cross. Before His death, Christ Jesus had appointed apostles, taught and prepared them to proclaim the gospel, the message of God’s …

Donate No Christian, in any part of the world, is supposed to be destitute of the knowledge of the Bible. The reason is quite simple: we have the Bible, the written Word of God, in most parts of the world. God inspired the writing of the books of the Bible, …

Donate “I have appeared to you for this purpose”(Acts 26:16, NKJV). In baseball, the catcher tries to distract the batter. On one occasion when Yogi Berra was behind the plate, Hank Aaron came up to bat. Yogi started in, ‘Hank, you’ve got the writing on the bat in the wrong …

Donate Evidence abounds that many pastors, especially those in Africa just pray, teach and preach in the name of Jesus Christ, but they do not know Him, they have no relationship with Him, they have gone astray or they are not His servants at all. Consequently, they are unable to …

Donate Christians appear to be many, considering numerous church buildings and regular huge church gatherings in the cities, towns and villages in most parts of the world. We thank God that many identify with the Christian Faith. It is beautiful and impressive. However, the question is, are all the folks …

Donate “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear” (Psalm 118:6, NKJV). Being in a position of leadership won’t give you courage, but showing courage will establish you as a leader in the eyes of others. Larry Osborne said, “The most striking thing about highly effective leaders is …

Donate It is not proper for a Christian, especially a servant-leader to use biblical words without clearly understanding them. Unfortunately, this is the situation in which many find themselves.  A Bible College student once told me he understood “pulpit” to mean “pulling from the pit.” Others also mistake a lectern …

Donate Every church has a pastor or pastors who oversee it for Christ Jesus, the Head. A church refers to all the people who confess Christ Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. In shepherding the people, pastors organise teaching services, breakthrough services, anointing services, prophetic services, healing services, revival services …

Donate “I have loved you with an everlasting love.”(Jeremiah 31:3, NKJV). Dr Gerald Mann writes: ‘Moralisers are faithful to remind us that King David’s life was all downhill after Bathsheba-gate. They list the litany of his woes. The baby of the illicit union died. He never recovered his moral stature. …

Donate “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31, TLB). The word ‘perish’ conjures up images of deterioration and decay, like fruit rotting from within. On what specific day does passion leave a marriage or a worker lose interest in a job that once excited them? …

Donate Children of God in Christ Jesus are not supposed to be passive members of churches. We are expected to be active disciples of Christ. To be an active Christian is to practically participate in ministry or serve by your gifts and talents.  Beyond willingly and freely giving offerings, we …

Donate Life on earth is unpredictable. Times and seasons change naturally. A rich person today may become a poor person tomorrow and a poor person today may become a rich person tomorrow. Thus, one important ministry churches of Christ need to pay greater attention to, in this generation, is the …
