STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS [GHS 233]

Stand up, stand up for Jesus!

Ye soldiers of the cross;

Lift high His royal banner, It must not suffer loss:From vict’ry unto vict’ry, His army shall He lead,Till every foe is vanquished, And Christ is Lord indeed.

1.Slide4

Stand up, stand up for Jesus!

The

trumpet call obey;

Forth to the mighty conflict, In this His glorious day;Ye that are men now serve Him Against unnumbered foes;Let courage rise with danger,And strength to strength oppose.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS [GHS 233]

Stand

up, stand up for Jesus!

Stand

in His strength alone,The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own;Put on the gospel armour, And watching unto prayer,Where duty calls, or danger, Be never wanting there.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS [GHS 233]

Stand up, stand up for Jesus!

The

strife will not be long;

This day the noise of battle, The next the victor’s song;To him that overcometh,A crown of life shall be;He with the King of glory Shall reign eternally.

LESSON

682: PAUL DEFENDS HIS APOSTLESHIP

MEMORY VERSE:

”But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth” (2 Corinthians 10:17,18) TEXT: 2 Corinthians 10:7-18Slide9

SUMMARY (1)

From our last study, we learnt the following lessons:

Naomi showed concern for Ruth’s marital rest and took practical steps of instruction and guidance to realise it. So must parents and leaders do.

Ruth obeyed instruction. Believers should take instruction from their leaders especially as they embark on new ventures like marriage, ministry, etc.Like Boaz was fair to Ruth, believers should not manipulate others but follow the scriptures in their affairs. They should be wise and transparent during courtship.Believers should hold on to the God’s unfailing promises in every area of life.The study of today touches on three points:Proper approach and attitude to the use of spiritual authorityTrue ministers’ contempt for competition and comparisonChrist’s commendation: The ultimate goal of a God-honouring ministrySlide10

SUMMARY (2)

Approach and attitude to the use of authority 

(

2 Corinthians 10:7-11):Paul affirmed and defended his apostleship as he also to performed his pastoral duties.His apostleship was by divine call and grace, attested with signs and spiritual insight.Leadership should not focus on title or privileges but power for edification; it is to preach sound doctrine, to serve as Christ rather than overbearing or too demanding.Leaders should lead by example and doctrine; believers should submit to leadership.Ministers’ contempt for competition and comparison (2 Corinthians 10:12-16):Paul attributed his success to God’s grace; God’s glory was his primary aim, not self.Ministers, ministries and circumstances differ; we should neither compete nor compare.The pride of comparison can rob us of joy in ministry or ruin us at work or at home.The ultimate goal of a God-honouring ministry (2 Corinthians 10:17,18):The believer’s life and ministry must centre on the Lord: aim at Christ’s commendation.As we minister, we should not fall into the trap of complacency or self-commendation.Slide11

CONCLUSION

Spiritual leadership is by God

’s calling and grace. It is to serve Christ.

We should not seek for position or privilege but for God’s approval.We should avoid overrating ourselves and berating others through carnal comparison. We should instead lead by example and give glory to God.Carnal comparison leads to pride, robs us of joy and can ruin our lives.We should not boast of our earthly possessions or spiritual endowment; we should rather rejoice in our knowledge and understanding of God. He should be at the center of our lives.We should avoid self commendation and seek for Christ’s commendation.Slide20

A NEW NAME IN GLORY [GHS 35]

I was once a sinner, but I came

Pardon to receive from my Lord:

This was freely given, and I found

That He always kept His word.

There’s a new name written down in glory,

And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine !

And the white-robed angels sing the story

“A sinner has come home.”For there’s a new name written down in glory,And it’s mine, O yes, it’s mine;With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,Never more to roam.Slide23

A NEW NAME IN GLORY [GHS 35]

Fearing naught but God’s angry frown;

When the heavens opened and I saw

That my name was written down
