TOPIC:  YOU ARE COMFORTED TO COMFORT ANOTHER.  WEDNESDAY AUGUST  2
TEXT:  2 CORINTHIANS 1:1-10
KEY VERSE: “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:18).

We are commanded by God to minister comfort to one another. If this is done in purity and love, it is a service done unto the Lord. The works of comforting one another are works of love. These are done in words and in acts. These works must be rendered to our neighbours as illustrated by the parable of the Good Samaritan and also much more to our brothers and sisters in Christ. “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6:10).

The following scriptural examples show how to embark on this service of comfort to our fellow men.

·         Joseph in prison ministered comfort to fellow prisoner who woke up saddened by a dream he had. That selfless service brought exaltation to him. Let us be concerned when our close ones become suddenly sad. Speak words of kindness, words of hope and encouragement to them according to God's word. Make them trust in God and be peaceful.
·         Joseph forgave his guilt-ridden brothers and spoke friendly to them and they were relieved and comforted. Let us comfort those who are guilty, and have offended us by ministering forgiveness and friendly words to them.
·         Pharaoh's daughter had compassion on the baby Moses. See what great accomplishment that single act wrought in life.
·         Manoah's wife abated the fears of her husband by logical argument. Let us through scriptural reasoning lead people away from fear to faith, and from guilt to assurance.
·         Boaz showed kindness to Ruth who was a stranger in the land, who later became his wife. Acts of love to the opposite sex must be in purity.
·         Naomi comforted Ruth by promising to assist her in getting a husband.

Let us pray with and counsel those who are in need.

Thought for the Day:  God comforts us that we may comfort others in distress.
Song for the Day: Peace, perfect peace …
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 68-69; Romans 3

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

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use.
