TOPIC: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS UNPROFITABLE. FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 15
TEXT: Romans 10:1-3
KEY VERSE: For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Romans 10:2.
There are many who profess Christ but live contrary to his teaching. Many are involved in denominational religious practice but they are not obeying the teaching of our Lord. Some of them are indeed sincere and zealous for Christ but they are not continuing steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine. Care must be taken not to bring the name of God into disrepute in the course of serving Him or do anything that could bring about a fall.
Let us consider the believer’s relationship with the opposite sex in ministry. When Jesus the man of Galilee went about ministering to people from place to place, the disciples were all men. The reason is not known, perhaps it is because of the risk involved. To go about with women in ministry is risky, especially when mixed with men. Some of the women disciples were married and mothers of children and home keepers who cannot leave their immediate environment. May be these were the reasons why Jesus did not mix women with the men, being careful that His ministry be not abused.
It is vital to say that women in particular must be very careful not to abuse the gospel of Christ through zeal without knowledge. A particular woman minister came to Abuja, Nigeria, knowing no one and having no money. She said the Holy Ghost led her to the City to preach. She ended up lodging in the same room with a man, cooking and eating together. God surely did not send her or else she acted foolishly to her destruction. The woman must be disciplined. She must not waste her life. She must not go about recklessly in the name of ministry. She can easily fall into immorality. Promiscuous men can easily overcome her when she is unduly exposed. She must, therefore, be wise and calculate her ways. She must display the dignity of Christ’s minister and purity of a true Christian woman. Seek counsel and be guided in ministry. In the same manner, men must not expose themselves unduly to temptation in the course of serving God. Too much intimacy with the opposite sex is an invitation to disaster.
Thought for the day: Zeal without knowledge is like smoke without fire.
Song for the day: When you come to collect your people
Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 28-29; 2 Corinthians 7

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
