BEING A TEAM PLAYER WITH JESUS (ALPHABET G)

in #steemchurch7 years ago

Hello friends
GOSPEL OF GRACE
Grace is unmerited favour. Grace is all embracing in kingdom assignment in the first place, the reason we are enlisted or appointed or called is because of the gospel of grace. Good news about what Jesus did for mankind to his death, burial and resurrection and the promise of abundant life for all who dare to believe in the finished work of Jesus.

Grace as some people think is not another doctrine. It is the person of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. It is about the good news of God's undeserved, unmerited, unearned favour bestowed on man especially those who chose to accept Jesus as lord and personal saviour. Grace for which the gospel is all about can be defined as God's unmerited favour. God has appointed him to do. Grace makes you a winner over sin, sickness, disease and forces of darkness.

Grace is the sweet less effort of getting the kingdom assignment, with maximum productivity. Grace causes one to go where others have notp gone reaching where no one else have reached and truly achieving what none else has achieved before.

GOAL SETTING
Goals have been described as decisions of attainment with time frame. Goals are statements of faith. Growth is the assignment of the team cannot be nurtured and kept on course without goals. Where there are no goal posts in a football game for instance, how to the competing team score goals and decide who wins? The team should set a long range goals as well as short range goals.

These goals we keep the team players on track, focussed, motivated, and purposeful. Such goals should be measurable and attainable. Planning should be part and parcel of goal setting. There is this adage which says if we fail to plan we have virtually planned to fail. This is not God's will because God himself is a master planner.

GROWTH AND INCREASE
Growth and increase go together. It entails spiritual, physical and numerical. Let us consider the following factors that could lead to incremental rising kingdom business.

a. Team members should exhibit possibility attitude: Their mindset should be optimistic that the assignments is achievable.

Paul is encouraging us as team players or workers in God's vineyard that each team player can perform adequately well in the area of our calling to the anointing of Christ.

b. They should secure and share God's wisdom for the ministry or church. Vision is not giving to a group of people but a man or woman of God. The team members are co-vision owners or bearers who are expected to run with it.

God has a purpose and vision for each of them without being be driven by God's vision,growth will be elusive to the ministry.

c. Team players are expected to build strong player base. By grace player and spiritual welfare enforce growth in the assignment. They already had won victory on the cross.
John
19:30a When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:

Prayer warriors and intercessors are motivated to engage the gates of hell so that they should not prevail against the church.

d. Commitment to soul winning is a must do factor. Team player should be updated in new methods of evangelism and outreaches. Evangelism is number one (a priority factor) in numerical increase of the church or local assembly.

CONCLUSION
Kingdom assignment centres on the gospel of grace. Grace is "a sinequanon" (something we cannot do without). Goal setting is very vital. If we fail to plan we said we have indirectly planned to fail. Growth and increase and not mere wishes we need to be doers of the word. As we sow the world and water it, God is obligated to give the increase.

@bigssam thanks so much for going thru my post u are indeed appreciated and luved

A brilliant continuation, grace for me is that which makes us justified free from sin and guiltless for even if we were as guilty and as sinners grace, makes us justified by faith, through Christ Jesus.
and in through Christ a
a really wonderful message.

I appreciate u from the depths of my hrt

Great continuation, A life without good plans is destined to fail, when you don't have a good plan and goal is like building a house on the sand and not on the rock, we work on ourselves, Growth and increase and not mere wishes we need to be doers of the word. As we sow the world and water it, God is obligated to give the increase.

Your conclusion is superb although we have to plan and set goals for our self when we don't have his grace all our efforts as human will be futile

This so much

He is the only God who knows everything in our min we should always make him out friend.
once learnt that Christians some times do not feel okay anytime God has done things in their life .
Learn to appreciate what God has given you any time any moment. Sometimes men feel that they are not loved by christ as his neighboring Christian but we should always remember that the life he has given us is mite than anything we are seeking in the world .
For the little God gives you always appreciate it so much because he is always willing to do more I'm our lives.
He the best friend we can make

The grace of surpassing all things

A prayer team can achieve more than one single individual can achieve.....
When the church (a prayer team) prayed for Paul and Silas, they were dilivered.
I really loved this :

Prayer warriors and intercessors are motivated to engage the gates of hell so that they should not prevail against the church.

Every church needs a prayer team
