For taking your time to study remain blessed TOPIC:  THE ETERNAL DOOM OF CARELESS BELIEVERS.  TUESDAY AUGUST 1 TEXT :  EZEKIEL 3:18-21 KEY VERSE:   Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezekiel 3:20 Our Christian race is a delicate one in which every believer must strive to succeed. “Earnestly contend for the faith” says Jude the apostle. Many today, due to carelessness, have forfeited their salvation and damned the consequences. We shall examine their punishment in today's devotion from the testimony of the book titled DIVINE REVELATION OF GOD'S HOLINESS AND JUDGEMENT : After the preacher had gone to hell, while we were still standing there, another believer died and was coming towards the g

TOPIC:  PULL DOWN THAT MOUNTAIN.  MONDAY JULY 31 TEXT :  EXODUS 14:10-16 KEY VERSE: “Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.” (Ezra 10:4). Patience and endurance are things encouraged in the Christian life. Hence a believer facing some difficulties in life may encourage himself to be patient and endure more. However, you need to examine the matter well. It may be possible you are expected to do something about the problem. You may be waiting and enduring in your problem due to your ignorance, fear, indetermination or laziness. Find out within yourself; may be the Holy Spirit is stirring some spiritual provocations within you against that problem. The Holy Spirit may be telling you: “What is required is action to be taken.” In our memory verse (Ezra 10:4), Ezra was the appropriate person to initiate action. Both God and men were waiting for him and would support

SUNDAY JULY 30 TEXT: MARK 16:15-18 KEY VERSE: Key Verse: “And when he had called unto Him His twelve disciples, He gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease”. (Matthew 10:1). God uses various ways to reveal Himself to man and to confirm the truth of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. When He sends Moses to Egypt to deliver the children of Israel from bondage and bring them to the land of Canaan, He gave Moses the power to demonstrate to Israel supernatural signs to prove that God was behind his message. Jesus has empowered His faithful preachers to demonstrate the truth of the gospel through signs and wonders We have the command from Christ to go everywhere and preach the gospel to everyone. The goodness of the gospel message is in: (1) Forgiveness of sins in Christ Jesus. (2) A new

TOPIC:  I AM YOUR ARCHITECT; THE BOND BETWEEN US IS UNBREAKABLE.  SATURDAY JULY 29 TEXT :  ISAIAH 41:9-14 KEY VERSE: “But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” (Isaiah 43:1). An inspired message from the Lord: My child, the bond between us is unbreakable, because you are My chosen. The company you keep is with the Architect of this universe in His infinite wisdom. Everything you do, everywhere you go, My presence surrounds you and My influence. But for the closeness of Myself to you, you would have been in the gravest danger many times. It is because you are precious to Me, that I surround you with My almighty protection. What I have done for you no one else could do. The future may seem uncertain to you, but you know that I will not leave you to walk alone for a single moment. It means muc

FRIDAY JULY 28 TEXT: 1 John 2:15-17 KEY VERSE: James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Ephesians 2:1-3 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. The ungodly woman applies many things on her ha

WEDNESDAY JULY 26 TEXT: ACTS 13:6-12 KEY VERSE: “Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.” (Acts 13:12). The Ethiopian eunuch was a zealous worshipper of God who did not know the Savior Jesus Christ. He read the scripture without understanding. The Spirit of God directed Philip to him. His heart was opened to the truth. Philip ministered to him and he became gloriously saved and was baptized. There are so many unsaved worshippers in various churches who desire to know the truth required for their salvation. We must seek them out and preach the true way of salvation in Christ to them. Our reading text gives account of the conversion of a proconsul. Every man has a soul that will give account of himself to God. Every man that has not been saved by Christ is ruled by sin, an evil master. Satan is

Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.” (Ezekiel 18:30). Today we shall examine the eternal state of a once committed brother who died in secret sin as we continue in our series on Divine Revelation as recounted by Bro. Michael Sambo: What I saw with my two eyes in hell broke my heart and I wept. I cannot describe hell as a mortal man. If anyone gets there, he will tell it better. In hell, I heard the groaning of the damned. This was the second time I went to hell. I heard people crying and confessing the sins they refused to confess here on earth. Many pastors are in hell. Many ministers of the gospel are in hell. Atheists and various categories of people are in hell. No

Abhor that which is evil; clip to that which is good”. (Romans 12:9).  “Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you. Love your enemies”. Who is an enemy? He is an unfriendly opponent, somebody who hates and seeks to harm or cause trouble for somebody else. Our Lord and Saviour commands, “Love your enemies.” An enemy is someone who fights against another person in combat or battle. He is a hostile person who has a plan or purpose to hurt or harm you. As true children of God, we are commanded to love all our enemies. The context of this passage defines and describes the enemies who we are to love. The enemies “curse”, they “hate”, “despise” and “persecute” us. They are “evil” and “unjust” in their dealings with us. They do not lo
For taking your time to study remain blessed  TOPIC :  THE USE OF ORNAMENTS IS TOTALLY PROHIBITED  FOR THE GODLY.  SUNDAY JULY 23 TEXT :  Revelation 17:1-4 KEY VERSE :  1 Timothy 2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array. Today’s topic focuses on the prohibition of the use of any kind of ornaments by the children of God for bodily adornment. These are satanic properties and are unfit for a true believer whose life is totally dedicated to God and sanctified for His holy use. 1.        Gold. The use of gold is prohibited in bodily adornment among true and holy Christians. Gold as an element in creation is not forbidden for appropriate uses. But gold or jewel fashioned into items of bodily ornamentation is prohibited by God. Unbelievers use this freely in their pride of life, show of beauty and greatness. The use of this in bodily adornment has conne
For taking your time to study remain blessed. TOPIC:  THE DRESSING AND COMPORTMENT OF HOLY WOMEN.  SATURDAY JULY 22 TEXT :  1 PETER 3:2-5 KEY VERSE:   Key verse: “In like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold or pearls or costly array.” (1Timothy 2:9). Our scriptures today are addressing the appearance of holy women. The word “gold” in the memory verse means jewelry, which is a collective word for earrings, rings, nose rings, chains, necklace, bracelets (i.e. items of ornamentation or bodily decoration). Holy women of old time did not adorn themselves with items of beauty and worldliness which were prevalent among the backsliders and ungodly society of their day. They clothed themselves with meekness, quiet spirit, and holiness, which in the sight of God is of great price. They were modest in outward appearance. The Bible reveals the worldliness in adornment that characterized the Old

FRIDAY JULY 21 TEXT: JOHN 3:16-18 KEY VERSE: Key Verse: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men; whereby we must be saved”.(Acts 4:12). God is the source of salvation. He is the foundation and basis of man's salvation. He accomplished the salvation of man in Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. The salvation of man was the main reason why Christ came to the world. The Bible says “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.” The apostles stressed the invariability of salvation through Jesus when they said, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Only Jesus possesses the divine ability and authority to give salvation to man. Christ is the sole sou
