 LIVING A LIFE OF SACRIFICE

Living a life of Sacrifice is at the heart of authentic Christian discipleship. Jesus Himself set the ultimate example by giving His Life for the Salvation of humanity.

As Believers, we are called to offer ourselves daily—our time, resources, desires, and ambitions—for God’s Glory and the good of others.

Sacrifice is not merely about loss, but about Love, Obedience, and Surrender. When we lay down our lives for Christ, we discover true purpose and lasting Joy.

The Bible urges Believers to present their lives as an offering to God, not out of compulsion but out of gratitude for His Mercy. A sacrificial life reflects Christ’s Humility, service, and self-denial, showing the world the transforming Power of the Gospel.

Bible References:

Romans 12:1 – “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God…”

Luke 9:23 – “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily…”

John 15:13 – “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

Prayer Points:

1.Lord, give me the Grace to live a selfless and Obedient life, fully surrendered to Your Will.

2.Father, help me to reflect Christ’s Sacrificial Love in my daily walk and service to others.Amen.

TRUSTING GOD'S PROCESS

 TRUSTING GOD'S PROCESS BY: Evangelist Oluwole Olaleye Christ Witness Evangelical Outreach a.k.a Christ Witness Mission Enquiry:08038533059 Life often brings situations filled with uncertainty, delay, and challenges. During such times, trusting God’s process means believing that He is working behind the scenes for our good—even when we cannot see the outcome immediately. God’s timing and ways are perfect (Isaiah 55:8-9), and His plans for us are to prosper and not to harm, to give us a hopeful future (Jeremiah 29:11). When we trust God’s process, we surrender our impatience and doubts, knowing that He is molding us, preparing us for greater things. Just as a farmer waits patiently for the harvest (James 5:7), we too are called to wait with faith, confident that God’s purpose will be fulfilled at the right time. Key Scripture References: Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will ma...

WHY PEOPLE LEAVE CHURCH?

 *WHY PEOPLE LEAVE CHURCH*  By: Evangelist Oluwole Olaleye  People leave church for many reasons, and often it’s a combination of personal, social, and spiritual factors. Understanding these reasons can help churches become more welcoming, supportive, and relevant. Here are some common causes:  *Disconnection and Lack of Belonging*  Many leave because they don’t feel connected to the community. If people feel ignored, judged, or like outsiders, they may drift away. A church that doesn’t foster genuine relationships or inclusiveness can push people out.  *Unmet Expectations*  People often join church with certain hopes—spiritual growth, support, meaningful worship. When those expectations aren’t met, disappointment sets in. If sermons, programs, or leadership don’t resonate, people may stop attending.  *Hypocrisy and Leadership Failures*  Scandals, moral failures, or hypocrisy among church leaders can deeply hurt members’ trust. When those in ...

THE CHURCH AS A MORAL COMPASS IN PUBLIC LEADERSHIP

 THE CHURCH AS A MORAL COMPASS IN PUBLIC LEADERSHIP The Church serves as a vital moral compass in public leadership by upholding God’s standards of Righteousness, Justice, and Accountability in society. Through the teaching of Scripture, the Church reminds leaders that authority is a trust from God and must be exercised with Integrity, Humility, and service to the people (Romans 13:1; Micah 6:8). By speaking Truth to power, the Church helps to shape the conscience of leaders and restrain the misuse of power. In times when corruption, injustice, and moral compromise threaten public life, the Church stands as a prophetic voice, calling leaders back to ethical governance and the fear of God (Proverbs 14:34; Isaiah 1:16–17). Beyond advocacy, the Church models Godly leadership through its own practices of transparency, compassion, and stewardship, demonstrating that moral leadership is both possible and practical. When the Church Faithfully fulfills this role, it contributes to the emer...
