TOPIC;   ORDERLINESS IN WORSHIP.  TUESDAY NOVEMBER 21
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14: 1-5, 24-33                                                                                                                                                                                       
Key Verse: “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge” 1Corinthians 14:29.
Prophecy or prophesying is a gift of the Holy Spirit which manifested in the assembly of the early church. This gift still manifests in the assembly of believers today, who believe in and seek for the operation of the Spirit of prophecy among them. Prophecy is different from planed sermon presented by a preacher or teacher. It is one of the gifts of the Spirit. The gift of Prophecy is the ability to receive instantaneously, a divine message previously unknown to the Spirit-filled believer, by the special operation of the Holy Spirit, for communication to an audience, for edification, exhortation and comfort. Prophecy brings to light hidden things and reveals the mind and plan of God. By this gift, the worshippers are warned, exhorted, assured and comforted. The local church or Assembly of believers should pray for the operation of the gift of prophecy among them and make provision for the manifestation of this gift in the worship service. Those who possess this gift may not all receive prophetic revelation in a worship service.  Where many signify that they have received a message from the Lord, only two or three may minister in the worship service. Those who possess this gift should learn to control themselves and ensure that the flesh does not interfere with this noble gift. The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet. Prophesying does not require uncontrolled shouting, falling down, crying, shaking, and unnecessary demonstration. The message must be given in clear speech, in dignity and decency for the glory of God. The message of prophecy must be subjected to scriptural scrutiny to know whether it is from God or not. This requires, Diligent listening to know the details of the message, John 7:51. Documentation of the details of the message for verification, Habakkuk 2:2-3. Doctrinal analysis of the message, to ensure there is no contradiction to the written scripture, Galatians 1:8-9. Dutiful verification of the revelations and predictions of the prophetic message for accuracy and fulfillment, Acts 17:11, Deuteronomy 18:20-22. Disciplinary life and attitude of the person operating in the gift, Deuteronomy 13:1-5. We must not accept every prophetic utterance without diligent scriptural investigation. We are instructed to prove all things.1John 4:1, Revelation 2:2, 20. We must be able to discern those operating by evil spirits or human spirit in craftiness and deny them ministering and audience in the worship service.
 Thought for the day: The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet.
Song for the day: Have your way Lord (6x) O Lord have Your way.

Bible Reading for the day: Ezekiel 24-26; James 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
