Being Like Jesus In Life And Ministry

Matt. 4:18-25

Just like Jesus called the disciples during His earthly ministry so He is still calling every Christian to follow Him today. His plan is to train, equip and empower His followers to carry on the ministry of saving the lost. To fit into His plan the Christian needs to model his life to replicate that of Jesus in holiness, humility, obedience to God’s command, prayer life, passion for the lost etc. The mature Christian also patterns his ministry after the ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus ministered to the spiritual needs of the people so as to reconcile them to God by preaching the gospel everywhere He went. He also ministered to their physical needs. He healed the sick, delivered those that were afflicted and fed the hungry. God’s plan is to empower the Christian to carry out these ministry works through the power of the Holy Spirit. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God empowered to meet today’s needs.

Point of Emphasis:        When Jesus would appear, we will be like Him.

Prayer Point:            I submit my life to You, God. Help me conform to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ETRE COMME JESUS DANS LA VIE ET LE MINISTERE

MATTHIEU 4 :18-25

Tout comme Jésus appela les disciples pendant son ministère ici-bas, il continue de la même façon à appeler chaque chrétien de nos jours à le suivre. Son plan est de former, d’équiper et  d’habiliter ses adeptes pour continuer le ministère de sauver ceux qui sont égarés. Pour adhérer à son plan, le chrétien a besoin de modeler sa vie pour reproduire celle de Jésus dans l’honnêteté, l’humilité, l’obéissance au commandement de Dieu, la vie de prière, la passion pour les égarés, etc. Le chrétien mûr modèle son ministère d’après le ministère de Jésus-Christ. Jésus servit aux besoins des gens afin de les réconcilier à Dieu en prêchant l’évangile partout il alla. Il servit à leurs besoins physiques. Il guérit les malades, délivra ceux qui étaient affligés et nourrit les affamés. Le plan de Dieu est d’habiliter les chrétiens pour accomplir ces œuvres ministérielles par la puissance du Saint-Esprit. Le monde attend la révélation des fils de Dieu avec le pouvoir de faire face aux besoins contemporains.

Point essentiel : Quand Jésus apparaîtra, nous serons comme lui.

Axe de prière : Je te soumets ma vie, Dieu. Aide-moi à me conformer à l’image du Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
