Every Tree a Forest | Sunday Service | Pastor Daniel Nwachinemere

This sermon focuses on the divine mandate of the church and the believer’s responsibility in ministry. The church has a clear mandate to “cover the earth with the glory of God” and this goal is not an abstract goal but a practical, active endeavour to see men saved, filled with the Spirit, healed and discipled. It highlights that spiritual encounters and meetings are strategic markers meant to transition into active mandates. God does not waste resources, so, this means that every spiritual encounter is an intentional setup for our immediate deployment and empowerment for the work of ministry. The believer is the ‘limitation’ on what God can do through him/her, hence, we must embrace personal responsibility. The magnitude of our individual (and collective) impact is tied to our yieldedness and our readiness to execute our God-given tasks. There should be no gap between us receiving instructions from God and putting the said instruction into action.Finally, we are reminded that our ‘operational tools’ are simply prayer and preaching the gospel. These are essential instruments for the ministry of reconciliation that we have received from God. Every member must be fully committed to the work of the gospel.
