Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018) Page 2

My Service Notebook is designed with an evangelist focus. It is set up to encourage believers in God’s presence by studying His word weekly out of the notes they will write during Sunday’s services, host family Bible studies, and learn new Bible verses on a weekly basis. We are committed to redirecting the mind of believers on the importance of writing notes during church services, promoting personal study time that will develop the word of God in you for effective evangelism. Studying Sunday’s messages easily connect you to the Lord. During these studies, the Holy Spirit helps you to have a deeper understanding of the message. He will also inspire you to write personal notes during your studies. This pattern of study will help you grow faster, develop active prayer life, and give you the ability to evangelize for the Lord Jesus Christ. The word of God ought to help us grow in Christ and we in return make Him known to the world. This book will take your faith to that level. It also has a motivational message written to inspire your heart at home before attending Sunday services and a consistent Bible study lessons for the family. MSNB also has blind pages for Sunday school notes, Sunday service notes, and Bible studies notes. We have special pages for you to write personal thoughts, revelations you may receive from the Lord during your personal study, and favorite Bible verses you may desire to learn during the week. As it is written in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to show thyself approve.”

MSNB is different from all other church notebooks because it is designed to equip believer’s spiritual journey. This notebook will help the body of Christ enhance their spiritual walk with the Lord and empower you to tell somebody about Jesus Christ once you follow the purpose of it set up. My Service Notebook will be created periodically in a series format to help believers still connected to the word of God. We will produce the same set up but difference revelations as the Lord’s provide. Please look out for book 2, 3, 4, 5…

Sunday Motivation

Good morning, Saints in Christ, as you prepare for service, may the Holy Spirit inspire you to enter the Lord’s presence with all your heart, soul, and strength. This inspirational note led by the Holy Spirit is meant to enhance your worship today and promote effective evangelism. Kingdom Initiative aims at promoting evangelism.

John 3:16 (NIV) says, For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 is a widely known verse and mostly quoted during evangelistic outreach and soul-winning services. It is one of the most important verses that provides a picture of God’s love for all humanity. As I read the verse over and over, the Holy Spirit connected my inner man to the intensity of God’s love. I began to understand how God planned in His heart to save us. The phrase that He gave His one and only Son expresses a deeper and more intense atmosphere of His love. The phrase reveals God’s urgency. It also reveals how His love pushes Him to save us. The hands of the Lord are felt moving above His principles. The phrase that He gave also shows God’s hasty nature of His love for His children’s redemption. His action gives us an open door in John 1:12 (NKJV) making us children of God when we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

The same way God hastened to send His son is the same measure He uses to save us from sin. God was not compelled to save us. We messed up in the garden, not Him, but His love could not watch His creation perish. There was a compelling power to save us from destruction. Jesus’s victory over sin gives us the opportunity to fellowship with the Father. The scripture says He bought us with a price. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 9:22b NIV).

Jesus’s death was the price we needed to set us free from the pit of hell. Also, the Holy Spirit opened my understanding to feel the rate at which God moves to save us when the word that is pronounced in the text and it makes us to feel how unsettled God was in His spirit. So He gave His only begotten son so that the world could experience His mercy and love. I encourage you to read John 3:16 and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal the effective nature of God’s love to you. Pronounce the word that with emphasis and you will feel God’s heart filled with the abundance of love to save each soul.

There is no excuse to live an ungodly life because God did not give any excuse when He sent His son as the ransom for our sins. We should not go daily without seeking His fellowship, reading His word and believing in His saving power. Remember, Jesus the Son is our invitation to knowing God the Father. His love compels Him to exchange His son’s life for our salvation. He wants us to embrace His salvation by accepting Jesus as our Lord and savior. We must believe in God’s promise for eternal life and know that without the death of Jesus, we had no direct access to Him, due to Adam’s sin. We should also believe that Jesus’s death gives us power over Satan’s plans, and it provides hope for eternal life. Let’s become the steward of His word. Blessings in the Lord’s presence. Have an awesome Sunday!

Luke 4:1–13

Dealing with Temptation in Your Wilderness Like Jesus

The Temptation

God by His Spirit has given me the opportunity to share in His revelation in the book of Luke 4:1–13. Luke 4:1–13 set the foundation for Jesus’s ministry. It gives us a clear picture of what it means to be ministry prepared and to lead God’s sheep. I’ll start with a general overview of Luke 4:1–13 and, by the illumination of the Lord, emphasize Luke 4:1 for the Bible study column of this journal. The devil’s chief strategy to destroy God’s purpose is to tempt the believers. We are tempted mostly at the beginning or end of our vision or journey. The devil intends to either stop the vision or hinder its impact.

When Adam married Eve, he now had a life partner to fulfill Genesis 1:28. He had someone to support the vision, a wife to love, and a family to build. A happy ending turned out to be a disaster when the devil showed up. Jesus’s ministry was about to start when the devil showed up. Jesus had thirty years of His life on earth without being tempted
