Opening Scripture

Psalm 15:1-5

“Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?”

Psalm 15 outlines the moral and spiritual qualities expected of those who serve in God's kingdom ministry: integrity, truthfulness, justice, and unwavering commitment to righteousness. These traits form the foundation for trustworthy leadership and divine fellowship.

Closing Revelation

Psalm 15 ends with a promise: “Whoever does these things will never be shaken.”

Psalm 50:14–15 shows the cycle of kingdom ministry: Gratitude → Covenant Faithfulness → Dependence → Deliverance → Honor

This is the rhythm of ministers who walk in God’s presence and build legacies that last. It is not just moral advice — it is spiritual architecture. These qualities forge unshakable ministers who dwell in God’s presence and build legacies that endure.

Closing Benediction

O Lord our creator, today help us to fulfil your desires and not ours. We have lost many souls and not helped them do thy will. We have stopped many souls from multiplying and led them to poverty and stagnation. We have sinned against your ways! From today help us do as you want us to do, and we are willing to abide by thy will, not ours anymore. In Jesus’ name, amen.
