Pastor E.A Adeboye Sermon during The RCCG January 2024 Holy Communion Service held on Thursday, 4th January 2024.
Referring to the Case Study of the Interraction between Jesus Christ and Peter as documented in John 21: 15-17 – Kindly spare time to read!
Because each time Peter said: “I Love You”, God gave him an Assignment:
– Feed my Lambs
– Feed my Sheep
– Feed my Sheep
I. FEED MY LAMBS – He is saying: Don’t just win Souls, follow them up.
New Born Again Christians are like babes – He expects Somebody to look after them until they become Established.
He is expecting everyone of us to be in the “Follow Up” Team in all our Churches!
He said: “Feed my Lamb” – Take care of those who has just become Born Again!
So, in this Year (2024); like never before, not only will you win Souls, you will follow them up until they become Established.
… And then He said, don’t just feed my Lambs;
II. FEED MY SHEEP – Even those who are already grown in the Lord, they need your Help and your Encouragement so that they won’t backslide.
Even those who are Standing the Bible says that they should take heeds lest they fall.
And in a time of Hardship Times when things are Hot; it takes Brothers and Sisters helping one another to survive!
… He (Jesus Christ) told Peter: Feed my Sheep.
III. He even repeated twice: “FEED MY SHEEP”.
This simply means that there are two (2) Categories of Sheep:
– There are those who are Matured Christians.
– And there are those who are “More Matured” than the Matured Christians.
He is not only expecting you to take care of the Matured Christians; He is expecting you to lift up the hands of the Ministers!
This Year, we are beginning anew in the areas where we have failed in the Past:
– Failed to take care of New Converts.
– Failed to take care of the Members of the Congregation; who you could even call Adults,
– Failed to take care of Ministers of God.
Because the Bible made it clear – Those who feed you Spiritually, you should make sure that you take care of them Materially!
The Lord is saying: “No Carry Over” but start afresh – Feed my Lamb, feed my Sheep, feed my Sheep!
