For taking your time to study remain blessed. LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR SUNDAY APRIL 2 TEXT: JOSHUA 4: 7-13 Key Verse: “Hereby we perceive we the love of God, because He lay down his life for us; we ought to lay our life for our brethren” 1 John 3: 16 Beloved, God is Love. He gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross of Calvary for the salvation of mankind. The bible says while we are yet sinners. Jesus died for us. This shows that God’s love is an unconditional love, perfect love and Agape Love. There are different kinds of love in the world today. The love we have for somebody because he is one of our family members, relation and friend is good but is not a perfect love. The love that fornicators have for an opposite sex in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend is the carnal love or lust of the flesh. The love you have for somebody because he is kind and good to you is good but is not a perfect love, because it has traits of selfishness. The perfect love is sacrificial, unmerited and unconditional love. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 7. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. If we are to live a life of Christ we are commanded to love God and our fellow human being. We are to love our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. That means our mind should not be divided in the things of God; in prayer, meditation, reading His word, evangelism and Christian service. You cannot love when you are still living in sin, you must be born again and your heart circumcised. The second commandment is like this, we should love our neighbor as ourselves. Our neighbour is not only people living in the same compound, but anybody we come in contact at any point in time either in the school, in the Church, on the streets, in the market or work place. Whatsoever is the need of the person, spiritually, physically and materially, we are to extend hand of fellowship to him. We are to love our enemies by feeding them and praying for them. Thought for the day: Ask the Lord to circumcise your heart today and give you new heart to love. Song for the day: He love me I cannot say why (2x), On Calvary’s tree, He suffered for me Bible reading for the day: Judges 8-9; Luke 8:22-56 #horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

For taking your time to study remain blessed. April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
