INTRODUCTION

Red Cross many at times appeals for blood donors. They say blood is “the number one medicine for saving lives”. Encyclopedia refers to blood as the very stream of life without which life ceases”. A medical book tells us that blood carries the very breath of life (Oxygen) to every parts of the body while removing waste products such as carbon dioxide from every part of the body” these dramatic statements about the vital Importance of blood for sustaining human life are not only true for the medical profession, they also communicate a wonderful truth about gaining and sustaining spiritual life. The power is in the blood. The bible is not silent about the usefulness of blood. John tells us that “the blood of Jesus. .. purifies us from every sin 1 John l;7.

THE ISSUE OF BLOOD IN THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT - GEN 4:11, GEN 9:6 , GEN 17:11-14, GEN 3:7

The voice of your brothers’ blood cries out to me from the ground Gen 4:10. That is what God told guilty Cain right after he had murdered his brother Abel. This is the first time blood is mentioned in the bible. The first mentioned of blood in the scripture is significant indicator of the meaning it will have in subsequent passages. From the above passages: the verses have established six important principles from God’s word.
A.  Blood that is shed cries out to God
B.  When man’s blood is shed, it must be avenged
C. The life of the flesh is in the blood
D.  Man is not to eat blood
E.  Blood makes atonement for the soul
F.  Blood that is presented gives a powerful messages

IN THE BOOK OF EXODUS, BLOOD IS SEEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS;

1. The blood of the Passover Exo 12:13
2.  Blood was Vital to sacrifices: God commanded his people to bring Lev 2: 1-16, 6:14-23.

Heb 9:22 tells us according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission. By one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified Heb 10:1-4, 14. We have boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Heb 10:19. We have redemption through the precious blood of Christ without blemish and without spot. 1 Pet 1:18-1.
Conclusively, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from Wrath through him Rom 5:9. Our salvation and all God’s plans for the future are secured by that precious blood shed once for all on Calvary’s cross. It speaks better than the blood of Abel” Heb l2 .

PREPARATION FOR STREET PREACHING AND VILLAGE CRUSADE.

TEXT: Mark 16: 15-20; Lk. 14:28-32; Prov. 24:27. The great commission of Christ covers every person, people and place. Since the fall of man, God has been providing ways of restoring the fallen man to Himself. The only perfect way came eventually i.e Christ “the lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29). The gospel of Christ is the POWER of God unto salvation to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH (Rom. 1:16-17). Therefore the whole gospel must be preached to the whole world. To reach the world with the gospel requires planning. Planning in the means and the method to adopt. The men God can use to carry out this great task. Bringing men to Christ is a great task: “or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? And then he will spoil his house” (Matt. 12:29). This therefore calls for a crusade a campaign against something believed to be bad (sin) and the preaching of the gospel for the salvation f

CONSERVING THE FRUITS OF EVANGELISM

CONSERVING THE FRUITS OF EVANGELISM  TEXT: Matt. 28:18-20; Mk. 16:15-20; Acts 2:41-47.  INTRODUCTION There are two parts of the great commission which was given to the church by Our Lord Jesus Christ. The first one is to preach the gospel to every creature and make disciples of the nations, while the second is teaching the disciples that have been made all that Christ has commanded us. This we generally refer to as follow up. Without giving proper attention to this second part of the Great commission all our labour in evangelization may not produce much fruit. Consequently, there will not be much growth in the Church. Therefore, for the Church to grow as God desires, there must be proper conservation of the fruits of evangelism.  1. MEANING OF FOLLOW-UP.  Follow-up has been defined as the conservation, maturation and multiplication of the fruits of evangelism. Winning and building are inseparably linked together in Scriptures. The new convert requires parental guidance a

WITNESSING TO A LOST SOCIETY

TOPIC: WITNESSING TO A LOST SOCIETY TEXT: Acts 17:16-33  MEMORY VERSE: Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry - Acts 1 7.16. CENTRAL TRUTH: Christians have the God ordained responsibility to declare the truth of the Gospel to an ungodly society. The truth of the Gospel is the message of life to the lost and hope to the hopeless from the living God. We are living in a society given to idolatry and other abominations and therefore needs the power of God to bring it back to life. it is only the potent power of God that can quicken men's dead consciousness. “Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord", we need to persuade men by proclaiming the true God, teaching them repentance from dead works and faith in the living God.
