 GREAT SPIRITUAL ATTITUDE OF THE CHRISTIAN THAT HELP THE CHURCH TO ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD.

 

( I Corinthians 15:58 ) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

* INTRODUCTION:

a. The Church need this kind of Gods people with good spiritual attitude to assure the Church to have abounding  Ministry of the Lord .

1. THEY ARE STEADFAST OR STRONG CHRISTIAN.

( 2Timothy 2:1 ) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

2. THEY ARE UNMOVABLE IN TIMES OF TRIALS AND TROUBLES IN CHRISTIAN LIFE.

( Acts 20:24 ) But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

3. THEY ARE FAITHFUL IN SERVING  THE LORD.

( I Timothy 1:12 ) And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

4. THEY ARE PRAYERFUL CHRISTIAN INSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH.

( Acts 1: 13-15 ) And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.

14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

5. THEY ARE OBEDIENT IN GIVING THEIR TITHES AND OFFERRING TO THE LORD.

 ( Malachi 3:10 ) Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

6. THEY LOVE AND WINNING LOST PEOPLE.

( Romans 1:15-16 ) 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

7. THEY LOVE TO SUPPORT MISSIONS.

( Philippians 4:15-16 ) Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.

16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

* God bless you all always.
