TOPIC:   BELOVED, STAND IN THE GAP AS THE NEED ARISES.  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16
TEXT:  2 Samuel 20:16-19
KEY VERSE:  A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1.

From our reading text, we see that this woman was in the city where a stubborn man had run into. Joab the captain of David’s army came in to destroy the city because of that man. But this wise woman in that city stood in the gap in wisdom to pacify Joab with her words and was able to save the entire city from impending doom. Only the stubborn person was destroyed instead of the whole city. A whole city was saved from destruction by the gift of wisdom God had given this mother in Israel. A similar scenario played out in the life of David. Abigail, the wife of Nabal, had stood in gap to avert the wiping out of her entire family by David’s men. She had also saved David from shedding innocent blood as a result of the indiscretion of her foolish husband.

And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 1 Samuel 25:32-34.

The gift of God in a woman can bring her to prominence in this life. A man’s gift (women’s also) makes a way for him and bring him before kings. The Lord gave this woman a gift. She told Joab, “I am one of those people, wise counselors, that give counsel to Israel. Have you come to kill everybody in this city? Then you will destroy a mother in Israel.” The gift God has given to a woman opens the door to her for ministry among God’s people. It was clear that both men and women in Israel resorted to this woman for counsel.


Thought for the day: Without being forward, actively play your role when the need arises.  
Song for the day: Here am I, send me…
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 105-106; Romans 15:1-21

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
