  • FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    FIVE-FOLD OFFICES – Pst. Ife Adetona

    There are three kinds of Apostles: Apostles of the Lamb (the 12), Foundational or News Testament Apostles (Paul & Others) and then, the Modern Day Apostles.

    Before now, Apostles are generally explained as those who plant churches but the understanding has gone far beyond that. It is not that God’s plan changed but our understanding improves as times & seasons unfold God’s definition.

    An Apostle is a massive Church planter across different territories.
    Or- an apostle is a pioneer and groundbreaker of a particular territory.
    Or- an apostle revives a particular doctrine in the body of Christ.
    Or- an apostle ushers a generation into a move or dimension of the Spirit.

    A person who combines the Prophet office and the Teacher office is an apostle. That is because he is likely to revive a particular Biblical doctrine(s) or truth or move.

    PROPHET
    There are also TWO KINDS of Prophets. Foundational or News Testament Prophets or Modern Day Prophets. A prophet is usually a preacher with the regular manifestation of five to six prophetic gifts (word of wisdom, word of knowledge, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues & prophecy). The degree would be quite high in at least one of those gifts and manifest adequately in others. Some prophets try to teach, they try to reignite a doctrine and also try to establish new doctrines. These prophets usually commit massive blunders while trying to do so. Meanwhile, they can desire the teaching gift but they need to be humble to learn how it is done. Prophets usually have healings and they are more evangelistic than pastoral.

    PASTOR
    “A Pastor has an organized Church”. Sorry, I mean we used to think all Pastors must have an organized denominational church. It is not so. A pastor is a shepherd with sheep in an organized setting (denominational or non-denominational). A pastor preaches or teaches. A pastor tenders, nurses and watches individuals NOT a building or chairs.

    EVANGELIST
    If you break new grounds, if you have massive signs and wonders including healing and miracles EVEN if you see Jesus but if you do not have an organised membership (pastoral service), you are not an apostle, you are an evangelist. You are a great man of God and not the least of all. Evangelists are also less prophetic. Many evangelists exhort or preach and some (a few) teach.

    TEACHER
    Actually, a minister of God either preaches or teaches. But God raises people in the office of a Teacher to teach concrete Biblical knowledge and doctrines. They have both pastoral and evangelistic tendencies because they win souls and groom those souls. This differentiates them from teachers in the help ministry.

    HELP MINISTRY
    If you sing, you’re not an evangelist. If you act drama, you are not an evangelist EXCEPT if you are an evangelist that sings or an evangelist that acts drama. Else, you are in the help ministry.

    Note, I am not explaining or criticizing titles, I am only explaining offices. In heaven, many ministers will come forward to receive the reward of planting a Church but a woman in the help ministry of prayer who birth the Church on her knees will be called forward. The Help Ministry is big and recognised. God can call men into it as full-time or part-time. For further study, I have three free books in circulation on this.

    NOTE
    You will only grow into the full realization of your calling. You can’t get there the day you stepped into the ministry. Also, title does not necessarily promote, growth does.

    Many will not grow into even the first phase of their ministry and calling till they die. So, we must take heed to ensure that we fulfil our ministry.

    Let me remind you that, if you are called into the ministry, the journey has not begun until you answer FULL TIME.

  • Let’s talk about  HAIRCUTS & DRESSING

    Let’s talk about HAIRCUTS & DRESSING

    Our View on Dressing.

    Many people have asked, why does MotherTreasure dress the way she dresses. People haven’t asked me why I cut my hair the way I do but I have been asked if having a different haircut is wrong.

    We believe in what is called the law of RIPPLE DOWN EFFECT and this is why we will continue to dress the way we dress and pass it down to followers who choose to without in any way discriminating against those who do not.

    Firstly, let me say that YOUR HAIRCUT WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO HELL. Likewise will your choice of DRESSING take you to hell as far as you didn’t intend to be lustful or seductive because God knows the intent of the heart? Where the problem lies is that your choice of dressing and haircut can lead you into what can lead you to hell. This is where the law of ripple down effect comes in. I will explain shortly.

    Your haircut and dressing have a lot to do with your ASSOCIATION and your association contributes to your lifestyle. Psychologists agree with this. They even believe that the kind of car you use is related to your character & lifestyle. And so there are characters, lifestyles and influences that are peculiar to a style of dressing.

    If a boy with a certain haircut enters a campus as a fresher and needs description to a certain point in the school, he is likely to ask another boy with a similar haircut. If there are four boys in a hostel, the ones with a similar haircut are likely to get along quickly. In a space of time, boys and girls who were freshers would quickly make friends with those who dress just the way they do. Note: there are exceptions.

    To these dressings come vices. How do I mean? Certain characters come with the way you dress. If you see “five SU dressed” gather, you can comfortably say that there will be a vice of gossip among them (for example). And where “non-SU dressed gathers”, you can tell the kind of vices among them.

    I was travelling in the North at a time. Soldiers did stop and search. I didn’t dress like a Pastor but I was the only male they did not search. I have had such encounters a couple of times. There was a time Police searched only one boy and drugs were found on him. How they singled him out, I don’t know but it tells a lot about how he appeared. The appearance will always show the manner.

    If dressing has a lot to do with association and association has to do with lifestyle and lifestyle has a lot to do with godliness & ungodliness then, we ministers have a role to play. That is what the ripple down effect means.

    In my few years of pilgrimage, I have seen a lot of believers descend morally via this route. We thought the only thing that changed about them was the hair and look but it wasn’t long before we discovered that their new association plunged their lifestyle and morals as well. I know a boy who never disobeyed his parents until he changed his haircut. I have also seen newly born again ascend by first changing the way they dress. They were able to cut out their old friends and lifestyle more easily after changing their dress style.

    However, this thing is not automatic. That a brother or sister chooses to appear in a way doesn’t mean he would automatically get along with the influence that follows but they are surely more at risk. And as ministers, we believe we are examples, aren’t we? We have the babies to secure, we have the carnal believers to help and those that think they stand also need to take heed. We are examples unto them all. If we raise the standard, they can come higher, if we lower it, they will go lower. The ripple down effect of our choice goes beyond our disciples or followers in Christ but even down to our biological children.

    I don’t think I want to say more than this. I preached a more elaborate message on this on our Telegram Channel titled: Christian Dressense.

    1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity, “IN DRESSING”.

    Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

  • RUSSIA VS UKRAINE WAR II- Pst Ife Adetona

    RUSSIA VS UKRAINE WAR II- Pst Ife Adetona

    Russia did believe that when they roll their tanks into Ukraine, they will surrender or flex some muscles but in a week or two, it will all be over. I guess they thought it would work out just like when the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021 or when Russia seized Crimea in 2014.

    Don’t dare a man ready to die fighting. Zelensky, Ukraine’s President said they will not surrender until the last man is dead. They defended their territory.

    The USA called the President, “let’s fly you out of Ukraine to a safe place”. He replied: ” I don’t need a ride, give me weapons”. The US and NATO felt, “well, let’s help these guys with weapons to defend themselves. We know they won’t last but at least, they would know that we tried”. Weapons were supplied, Ukraine soldiers used them well, and they lasted the night. The world was again surprised. And said, okay, let’s send them more weapons then.

    Zelensky wanted to drag NATO into the war by calling for a “no-flight zone”. If NATO declares a no-flight zone over Ukraine as they have freely done in some warring territories, it means they will shoot down any Russian aircraft in Ukraine’s air space. If they do that, Putin has an excuse to attack the US or any NATO country. That will result in an escalation because NATO will have to fight back. That is simply World War III because North Korea and other Russian friends can join in. NATO said it’s not the wise thing to do.

    Meanwhile, more defensive weapons began to pour in. Note the word “defensive”. Ukraine has not shot down a fly in Russia since the start of the war. If they do, Russia has an excuse to wipe out Ukraine from the map with more sophisticated weapons. So far, they’ve only been defending.

    More support rained into Ukraine on the following day. Foods, basic needs, transportation for fleeing citizens into other European countries especially Poland, the next-door neighbour. Russia was going to cut Ukraine’s internet. They ran to Elon Musk the richest man who has a satellite in the space for help, he gave them under 24-48 hours. Supports and cheering everywhere. People volunteered to go fight for them from various countries as well.

    NATO decided to join the battle but indirectly. Aside from supplying weapons, they supplied intelligence and training. Intelligence is key to winning any war! It is reported that it is NATO that reveals to Ukraine where the Russian army is, they tell them where to shoot and when to shoot. That way, they have reported the killing of up to eight major army generals of Russia. That’s unprecedented.

    Europe and the USA also started slamming economic bans, travel bans and especially targeted bans on Russian billionaires hoping those billionaires will influence Putin’s decision. Even private companies banned Russia. It was enormous.

    The toughest of all the bans is the OIL BAN. I told you that Europe is dependent on Russian oil. The US is also a major customer. Banning the oil would mean starving yourself while trying to make your enemy suffer. Putin had thought that they can’t do it since the war will be over in a few days anyway. But the longer it takes, the more the pressure on those countries to act selflessly. Biden took the bold step. Some other European and NATO countries followed suit. Yet, in most quarters, it is still a partial ban and not a total ban. And they still buy the oil through third parties. Like they won’t buy from Russia but can buy from a third party who bought from Russia. However, the ban led to increasing in demand, shortage in supply thereby, increase in price. This affects every country and every man in the world.

    Negotiation is always the twin in every war. It is believed that war could only end on the table. Ukraine and Russia began to discuss. Russia listed her demands- “give us Crimea officially, the land we seized from you the other time. Also, allow those guys who have been trying to break away to go in peace. And also, forget about your dream of joining NATO. And lastly, we don’t want you to have military again”. Russia quickly erased that last one and replaced it with, “your military should be neutral, it should have nothing to do with NATO or other country’s military”.

    At the beginning of the negotiation, Ukraine was ready to succumb. They told Russia, we will forgo NATO ambition. We will look into those guys that want to break away provided we can address the needs of those living there that wish to stay with Ukraine. The piece of land you stole, you know we can’t give you. We may just pretend that it’s yours but we won’t make it official.

    As the negotiation was on, the war was on and Ukraine was making gains. At least, they were beating back Russian troops and have a large support base. I believe they started backtracking on succumbing at that point.

    I should tell you about the approach of Russia in this war. Russia didn’t want to wipe out Ukraine. That will be too much and unforgivable. They only want to oppress them and wear them out by destroying their country, the buildings and kill people to order to pressurize the government to surrender and say, “it’s enough, we can’t take it anymore”. If Russia has it’s way, they also want to seize the capital, remove or assassinate the president and install another person. But Ukraine’s president seems to have a coconut head. His statement has been, ” you have to kill the last man. You have started already, you must kill us all”.

    In all sincerity, the world powers and NATO especially could help Ukraine negotiate its way out quickly. They just need to give Russia some concession here and there. But they are not ready to do that for some reasons:

    “At this point, if we give Putin what he wants, he would think he is smart. He could do the same for another country tomorrow.”

    “If Ukraine is ready to fight, why should we stop them? Let’s see how much Russia can go”. We may even use the window to study Russia to know their weak points against future wars”.

    When a teacher is beating a student, the teacher also gets tired. NATO believes that Russia is getting tired too of the loss at the war and the sanctions. “Let’s allow them to suffer for long so they won’t even try such again ever in their life”.

    Lastly, they are like, ” what tells you that Ukraine will not even win this war. We thought they would surrender in 7days but it’s over 70 days already and they are still standing. They should hold on a little more.

    What’s your TAKE AND best advice for UKRAINE?

  • DEVELOPING READING HABIT

    DEVELOPING READING HABIT

    😰I’ve been trying to be a good reader but I do lose my zeal a long way

    😰I planned to be reading 2 books monthly, but this is the 7th month of the year, and I’ve not been able to read up to 5 books

    😰 I used to push myself to read but books are always boring to me

    😰 I’ve done everything in my capacity to be a good reader but all are not just working.

    These and many more are the complaints of so many great minded people outside there. There was a time I was in this mess as well, but when I discovered that for me to be great in life book reading is not an option, If Jesus, Daniel, Paul, Luke, and many great men in the Bible age and our century are functions of book, and I wish to be enlisted in their ranks, then I must consciously look for the way to develop the reading culture in me.

    It was the 7th of January, 2020, My Spiritual father(Pastor Ife Adetona) told me that he just finished reading the 11th book (big books)of the year and this stroke a chord in me and I took up the challenge via some steps he gave me. And by the grace of God, I read 53 books in that same year and since then reading at least 60 books (excluding the books of the Bible) in a year has been my yearly goal.

    #1. KNOW THAT THERE ARE TYPES OF BOOKS

    You must firstly sustain the understanding that we have 2 major types of books, it’s either Mini or Voluminous books, for you to start developing this habit, don’t start by moving closer to voluminous books, start with mini-books.

    Mini books are books that won’t take your time before you finish reading them, they are mostly less than 100pages with very bold fonts inside but voluminous books are books that will take your time, you can even go on days before you finish them, it mostly more than 100 pages and some are less than 100 pages but with very small font size and can take you days as well. Starting the development of a reading culture with voluminous books is like saying you want to start your academics from tertiary institutions and neglecting the primary and secondary schools.

    #2. UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS

    What some people use to hunt for is to read books, you must first identify your area of interest and go for it first. Are you starting with Spiritual books? Which concept is your area of interest? Faith? Prosperity?Healing? Deliverance? Prayer? Other areas of interest may be your personal development, human and resource management, leadership etc.
    The understanding of the concept you need will magnetise you to the books to read at a particular period.

    #3. AUTHORS

    While developing the reading habits, go for interesting authors, some authors use too much grammar which will always make book reading boring to you. You may want to ask how are you going to know interesting authors? Go to the introduction or the first chapter of any book, you’ll know how boring or interesting the book is going to be. The first book I firstly finished reading was “The Communion of Holy Spirit” By Pastor Ife Adetona.it was the first page of the book that created a craving for the whole book in me.

    You can also go for recommended authors, many people love listening to messages, when you heard a preacher recommend an author, It will also help you in developing reading habits. Same with Popular authors as well.

    #4. INTENTIONALITY

    In developing this habit, you have to know that it’s your responsibility, so you have to be intentional about it, to be intentional about it, take note of these;

    A. Set a specific goal on book reading, and this goal must be fact and not fat, saying I want to read 50 books in a month is a fat goal, the fact goal is the one that is attainable when coupled with your schedule. This calls for intentionally sitting down and planning it out.
    B. It must be Time-bound; to realize your goal monthly you have to set a daily goal for it, which means that there must not be a day that will go without you opening to read a book, in actualizing this, you must decide to be reading a certain number of chapters per day or schedule a particular number of minutes for book reading daily, E.g I must read for 1hour every day or I must cover 2 chapters daily out of a 10 chapters book.

    C. Have a reading mentor: The role of a reading mentor is that you will be accountable to such fellow, S/he must be able to query you if you didn’t report to them on daily basis.

    #5. READING TECHNOLOGY

    With Reading technology, you can read faster using a reading application, the one I use mostly is @voice, just type it on Google play, and you’ll see the image beneath this paragraph there, just download it and do the necessary settings. With the reading application, you can increase and decrease the reading speed rate and cover many pages in fewer minutes.

    #6.SOFT COPIES vs HARD COPIES

    Some people planned to start reading books but couldn’t start because of money, the money attached to soft copies is free compared to the amount on hard copies, Even there are some soft copies that you can even get for free. Visit Fountain publisher through available links to access some books of your choice.

  • MUMMY G. O

    MUMMY G. O

    If not that “Mummy G.O” overplayed her hand and added to the scripts…if she had stayed with the scripts like her predecessors and simply condemn Baba Adeboye, Prophet Obadare, Bishop Oyedepo, Arch Bishop Benson Idahosa, Bimbo Odukoya and others who are the regular mentions when it comes to their hellish vision–may be you would have believed her. May be you would have bought her books. May be you would have distributed her tapes. May the LORD help you.

    Hear this, any vision that makes it looks harder for a believer to enter heaven and makes hell easier to go to IS FROM HELL in order to discourage you from the heavenly race.

    It is very difficult for a believer (a person who confesses Jesus as Lord and lives in the consciousness of that confession) to miss heaven and quite easy to make heaven. A believer cannot be on the way to hell and not know it. It is not something you enter into by mistake.

    While you are busy praying, groaning and crying to God to help you to make heaven- angels are busy saying to you that heaven is not a problem but your dominion here on the earth. You are asking for the Kingdom of Heaven, God is saying no problem but you haven’t occupied the earth with the power of the gospel. See- you can’t reign on the earth as His priest and His king and lose heaven.

    I have said this 100 times- some have chosen to go to heaven like the poor Lazarus but I have chosen to go like the rich Abraham.

  • HEALING SCRIPTURE CHALLENGE 2021

    HEALING SCRIPTURE CHALLENGE 2021

    There is power in confessing the word of God, the Lord told the people of Israel to speak the word while sitting, walking, lying down and rising up. He even told them to put it on their gates. God ask them to do this because it is their biggest secret to access divine health.

    “And ye shall teach your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down and when thou risest up. And thou shalt writ them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates” Deuteronomy 11:19-20.

    Healing Scriptures are scriptural passages that you should meditate upon daily whether you are feeling sick or not. It is the secret of men who live without drugs and sickness. It’s been five years since I last fell sick or used a pill to the glory of God. This is the secret. Billy Graham was asked what the secret of his divine health was. He replied that he meditates on two pills of Psalms and one pill of Proverbs every day.

    Here, I shall be giving you a number of healing scriptures that you can meditate upon daily. You can select the ones you love the most and make them your daily pills. You are not just to read them but to meditate and confess each.

    “Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].

  • Post NYSC Phobia 3

    Post NYSC Phobia 3

    Corper Weeeeeee😀

    Welcome to the concluding part of this series. I talked about service as a means of creating the needed job in the previous session. If you missed the first 2 sessions, you can have them back via these links:

    Part 1:https://healingnexusblog.com/post-nysc-phobia-part-1/

    Part2: https://healingnexusblog.com/post-nysc-phobia-part-2/

    In the previous session, I promised to teach on how to create the work we need through the instrumentality of Faith.

    FAITH

    Let me start by explaining to us that Faith is an action word(verb), not a noun. There are different kinds of Faith;

    👉Saving faith Ephesians 2:8
    👉Gift of Faith 1Corinthians 12:9
    👉Fruit of Faith Galatians 5:22
    👉Living Faith Romans1:17
    👉 God kind of Faith Mark 11:22.

    LIVING FAITH vs GOD KIND OF FAITH

    Out of the kinds of Faith that we have, we shall be considering living faith and the God’s kind of Faith, because we live, and have our being, through the Living Faith

    *Romans 1:17*
    _”For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the Just shall live by faith.”_

    This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This has been accomplished right from the beginning to the end, by faith. As the Scriptures say, “Romans 1:
    [17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

    Mark 11:22
    “Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Have faith in God.”

    The book of Romans tells us that we live by Faith, and the book of also Mark tells us that we should have God kind of Faith. Then we should ask ourselves what kind of Faith is God’s kind of Faith?
    👉 It’s a SPEAKING Faith

    Hebrews 11:3
    “Through faith we understand that the words were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

    We can deduce from here, that the whole universe was created by God through the words He said. As He’s saying it, they were coming to manifestation. So therefore, to use faith to create the needed Job after your service too, you need to be ‘SPEAKING FORTH’ whatever you want to see in Faith. How then do we achieve this?:

    1. You keep declaring thus: ‘It’s not possible for me to be jobless after my service year because I am a servant of God even while serving.

    2. When you’re about to pass out of your service, you act in faith by applying for job opportunities online and you keep confessing, declaring and annoucing that you’ve been employed, because the word of God says you shall spend your days in Prosperity (Job 36:11).

    3. Acting in faith still means that you acquire a skill and start a business of your own,trust me, you’ll enjoy God’s blessings in it. And you can be as rich as you desire/imagine, If you meet up with the first point I mentioned in session 2, and you are diligent, hardworking and a thinker in whatever you do.

    4. Acting in faith is still withdrawing from applying for job whenever God says so. Let me share my experience with you here.

    I shared in the previous session of how I got an appointment immediately after my service year. But it’ll interest you to know that I spent only 3 months at the work place because I resigned.
    Why???
    God says so.
    He said I should resign into ministry. Peradventure you are reading this, and God is calling you into ministry as well, please do not be afraid. Do not bother about where your food will come from. In fact, rejoice that you have been (also) employed into the company of God, and the wealth of every worker is always measured by the track record the owner had made over time. If you are working in Chevron, you automatically know that you’ll be paid in :6 digits’ because of how wealthy the owners of the company are. So, do not compare yourself with the wealth of God being the CEO of the company you’re working in. Then you’d realize that God is having a much better offer for you. You don’t need worry about the expected way, what He promised you is the expected end, and friend, may I tell you this for free?

    After subscribing to what God says, the blessings that came to me just within 2 months of my resignation from the company I was working with, was 4 folds of what I was earning in the company as well.
    So.. Trust God to take care of you if He’s giving you the appointment to work with Him in ministry.

    The next Series on this blog with me is on ‘Angels‘ .

  • Post NYSC Phobia (Part 1)

    Post NYSC Phobia (Part 1)

    For the Non-Nigerian that may be graced to be reading this article, The word NYSC means National Youth Service Corps. It is a scheme by the Nigerian Government to ensure that all Nigerian Students that graduated from the Higher institutions of learning, serve their fatherland.

    NYSC is the bridge between Nigerian Youths and their career(s), because after NYSC, 80% of the Nigerian students face (their) careers squarely. Alhough, there are some that still go further in their educational pursuits, but the percentage is usually low, compared to the number of those who stop or face (their) career squarely.

    PRE-NYSC JOY

    NYSC is an experience that all higher institution students don’t want to miss. All of them want to appear in White fowl dress. The 7/7 kit is a big dream that so many youths have always dreamt of. In fact, it’s the propeller for some people to go further in their studies.

    The last day of examination on campus is always tagged ‘SIGN OUT’ day with so many inscriptions on the clothes of the (graduating) Students. But the commonest is “Clarion call” “NYSC calling” etc.

    However, Why this is so important in the hearts of all Students is that they will be paid a monthly allowance which is equivalent to the minimum wages in the Nigerian payment scheme, and they will be paid directly by the federal government herself.

    THE PHOBIA

    So many people are always so engrossed with the joy, but the reality of service dawn on them about three months to their Passing out Parade.

    I once saw a video clip where the sister was crying on her passing out Parade day because theref would be no hope of monthly allowance any longer. When I was in service as well, it dawned on me that I would be passing out in the next 2 months and I started thinking on life after service. And then, I started doing some head calculations because of the fear of what to do next.

    I was having conversation with some friends of mine as well, and I sensed that the Phobia of what to do after NYSC had been engrossing them as well. Therefore, I made this decision to put a counsel to some of my friends ahead, so as to bless many that are coming behind.

    Are you a serving NYSC member?
    Are you a prospective Corp member?
    Then this article will bless you tremendously.
    In the next segment, I shall start by exposing us to how we can deal with post-NYSC fear.

    Are you a serving Corp member? Type the name of your State of service at the comment box.

    Are you an intending Corp member?
    Type ‘I’m a prospective Corp member’

    You don’t fall in any of the categories mentioned earlier?
    Type ‘GLORY’

  • DIDASKO

    DIDASKO

    DIDASKO” is a Greek word which means “to teach”. The commanded mission (Commission) that Jesus gave to His disciples is in two (2) phases; To I’m preach and to Teach. It is the preaching that brings people to the fold while the teaching maintains and keeps them.
    The reason why we have so many half-baked Christians today, is because they were only exposed to the preaching ministry and couldn’t wait to be taught.

    Jesus Christ being our Lord and saviour, understood this Principle. He formed the habit of staying under the teachings of the religious teacher(s) in the temple and grew in knowledge for years.

    Luke 2:46

    And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

    When Jesus started His ministry, you will realize Him emphasizing the scripture and His prophecy written in the old testament. This is an indicator that He gave Himself to study for about 30 years before starting His Ministry.

    When Jesus was to select His Apostles, He called them first, to be with Him before sending them out. They are to be with Him so that He can ‘TEACH’ them.

    Mark 3:13-14

    And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
    And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

    Before Paul started his ministry, he was firstly sent to Arabia to be taught. And when he started his ministry fully, he was firstly an Apostle. He preached with Barnabas at Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. But as time went on, he became a teacher while he embarked on his second missionary journey. It was there that he met his dear son, Timothy. And that is why He emphasized the need to be studious and to be a reader. He also told him to continue to be a teacher of the word of God because that’s the only thing that can sustain every born again believer to be a disciple and to grow in God.

    2 Timothy 2:2

    And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

    Titus also attested to the need of a teacher that after you have accepted the light of the gospel through the preaching of Grace, it is the same grace that keeps you growing, through Teaching.

    Titus 2:11-12

    For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
    Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

    The consequence of neglecting the teaching Ministry is that such an individual will be in captivity. They will be destroyed by many whips of the enemy and will not grow as expected.

    Hosea 4:6

    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

    Isaiah 5:13

    Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst..

    It is through the ministry of a teacher that you can grow in God and become like Him.

    2 Peter 1:3

    According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

    Can you say: I WILL BE A STUDENT AND TEACHER OF THE WORD.😊
