Devotional Bible Studies Daily: Are we living in a manner that reflects the purpose and work of the Lord Jesus? Are we learning to be helpers, encouragers, and servants — giving ourselves away? Are we faithfully reading God’s Word, remaining fervent in prayer, and devotedly worshiping Him? Are we obeying the Lord, no matter what He asks of us? This is the evidence that we really believe in God and that we have truly embraced His salvation (2 Pet. 1:3–8) “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us toHis own glory and excellence, by which He has granted to us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ”).“This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.” (Titus 3:8 (NLT)
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:3–8).
“Fight the good fight of faith”
Realize that we are in a battle, a battle for our families, friends, neighbors, ourselves. Encourage men to be courageous, to overcome fear and discouragement, never letting it keep him from God’s will. (Ephesians 6:10-18) (1 Peter 5:8)
“Lay hold of eternal life to which you were also called”
God has given us the gift of salvation and a life of eternity spent with Him. Receive God’s gift of salvation and live victorious in that knowledge; to glorify God by walking worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him and being fruitful both at work and at home. (John 3:16) (Romans 5:8-9) (2 Cor 6:2) (Heb 4:16).
“The Spirit-filled life is not, as many suppose, a life of peace and quiet pleasure. It is likely something quite the opposite… if we want to escape the struggle we have but to draw back… that is all Satan wants. Compromise will take the pressure off. Satan will not bother a man who has quit fighting. But the cost of quitting will be a life of peaceful stagnation. We Sons of Eternity simply cannot afford such a thing.” – A W Tozer
The Lord is our strength and courageous to build our church ministry stronger and alive in Spirit because Christ Jesus is leading us eternally. Our Mark May Ministry’s true statement of faith is Christ Jesus as followers.
We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. It is accurate, authoritative and applicable to our everyday lives.
We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us for life.
We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.
We believe that in order to live the holy and fruitful lives that God intends for us, we need to be baptized in water and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit enables us to use spiritual gifts, including speaking in tongues.
We believe in the power and significance of the Church and the necessity of believers to meet regularly together for fellowship, prayer and the ‘breaking of bread’.
We believe that God has individually equipped us so that we can successfully achieve His purpose for our lives which is to worship God, fulfill our role in the Church and serve the community in which we live.
We believe that God wants to heal and transform us so that we can live healthy and blessed lives in order to help others more effectively.
We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised. We are believing in God’s promises are faithfulness, righteousness, and truthfulness. He is the eternal trinity (one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving and completely holy), how He relates to us, and how we relate to Him is the foundation in its teachings of the Word of God. We wholeheartedly serve Him and the people of His world, based soundly according to the Holy Bible (https://www.biblegateway.com/). We live and die by these words and believe they bring the only life worth living—one wholly & fully committed to Christ Jesus the King of kings and the Lord of lords. We are convinced only by the Holy Spirit’s empowerment that we can fully express Jesus’ love, compassion, and mercy to those who do not know Him. We are part the body of Christ—His chosen means to fulfill His purposes on earth, restoring a lost and broken world until He returns to reclaim it. The members of Mark May Ministry are Christ extends His love to everyone we meet; we walk with our neighbors through the steep challenges life brings, introducing them Jesus Christ who offers Himself true hope for us. We plant the evangelical gospel ministry in spiritually thirsty neighborhoods, disciplining and mentoring new believers to become healthy, passionate Jesus followers (Romans 12:5 “so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another “).
Vision : “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. ” (1 Timothy 6:12)
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, but I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
