For taking your time to study remain blessed MINISTERING TO OTHERS AND NEGLECTTING YOURSELF TUESDAY MAY 23 TEXT: 2 TIMOTHY 2: 4 - 6 Key Verse: “Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept” Song of Solomon 1 : 6 Busy, busy, busy woman! Busy, busy, busy man! But what kept you busy? Human beings kept me busy. My mother’s children. They kept me busy. I was busy serving them. I was busy serving others. You are busy serving others in the Church. You are busy serving others in the Chapter meeting. You are busy serving others in Holiness Revival Movement. Good as it is, but see what she revealed – They made me keeper of the vineyards, vineyards in plural . . . . This person’s vineyard, that person’s vineyard, I go here, I go there, to please them, because they are getting angry with me. I am running dry so as to keep people peaceful. But she said, My own vineyard, I had one for myself. I am busy going after theirs, but my own vineyard I have not kept. See me now, I am black. The sun has looked down upon me. Why? Going up and down, caring for people’s vineyards, but my own? You have a soul, you have a spirit. You are a pastor. You have a spirit that cries because he is hungry. He is crying. The spirit is crying. You have a spirit. Yet you have a soul, a soul that dies because of sin, for the soul that sinneth it shall die. That soul that you are starving, it shall die! That soul that you are not feeding is your vineyard. It is your own vineyard. Your soul is crying and yet you are a preacher. You are a preacher! In fact, the people are testifying to your service, they are no longer angry. They are testifying but your soul is not cared for. Now come, what has taken over her vineyard? There are laws in this life, brother. There are laws. God will not change the law for you, except in His perfect wisdom and it is required for His glory, which is not often like that. Now that you didn’t keep your vineyard, what has happened to it? Foxes have come over your vineyard. Nobody is there to care for your vineyard. Little by little, little by little, little by little, your tender grapes are being spoiled. Your tender, fresh Christian life is being spoiled. Your true spiritual peace is now under turbulence. It is not cared for. Thought for the day: Listen to the voice and the cry of your spirit. Song for the day: My life shall be a testimony. Chronicles 8-10 John 8 : 37-59 #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
