Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 5:18–19 KJV
And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Exhortation
7 simple things you need for a world-wide ministry is:
John 8:32 says … you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. But without knowledge the people of God perish (Hosea 4:6). And Isaiah 33:6 says that wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of the times; and the strength of salvation. People who are recruited to serve in ministry around the world must increase in knowledge and learning.
- Prayer:
The first Christian calling is a calling to serve in prayer for all men and people in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-8)
- Loyalty:
Acts 2:40-47, increasing in loyalty to the apostolic commission, doctrine and fellowship is the next important thing. Continue faithfully in faith through tribulation and trial and victory (Acts 14:22). Continue in doctrine, prayer, fellowship, and breaking of bread; continue in contributing to the brotherly love in the church through your giving and through house fellowship.
- Radiance:
Matthew 5:13-16, we are the light of the world; we are the glory of our generation; we are the brightness of our generation; we are the hope of our generation; we are the seasoning of our generation. The Christian of any generation is the glory and glitz of that generation.
- Hope:
Ecclesiastes 9 and 1 Corinthians 13:10-13 teaches us that until we can live with class and hope, we lose our passion to reach the world. We are called to teach with perseverance and long-suffering.
- Coverage:
You need greater coverage to make the necessary impact. The single important thing that will inspire you for greater travelling and coverage is the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God (Acts 1:8)
- Partnership:
It takes a team and partners to implement any worthwhile venture (Luke 8:1-4). Always remember, though not all institutions are set up for profit, none is set up to make losses; not even NGOs.
Be blessed; I love you!

The killer point for me is the seventh point. I pray for partners in the name of Jesus. Without partners Jesus would have remain in one place. Jesus always sent his disciples to where he himself would go and not only that some women also partnered him by supporting his ministry with money. I receive grace to partner my apostle financially and with my effort. So help me God.
God bless u Bishop for the word
God bless you Osofo this great teachings. Amen
Dear God, please help us to Stand up and be counted in this army, which is prosecuting your agenda in these last days.
