HUNGER AND THIRST FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS    WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6
TEXT: Psalm 42:1-5                                                                                                         
Memory verse:
King David loved the Lord so much that he always longed after God. He sought after righteousness and truth and pursued it with the whole of his heart, that is why the expression of his heart toward God in Psalm 42:1 “As the heart panted after the water brooks, so panted my soul after thee, Oh God; my soul thirsted for God? Here we see a man that hungered and thirsted after God. To thirst and hunger after God is to thirst and hunger after righteousness and truth. A Christian who follows after truth and righteousness is a balanced person in this life because truth will distinguished him among many and his righteous life will endear him to God. Why?  Because the heart always longs and thirsts for many things and God gives man the privilege of asking what he desire from Him. I king 3:5
 Walk in truth, walk in righteousness and holiness your heart shall be established. The Lord Jesus says, in the book of John 4:23-24 “that God is a spirit and they that must worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. This shows clearly that the believer cannot worship God and his worship accepted by God except when he conducts such worship Biblically, meaning that holiness and righteousness is his lifestyle, living in God’s truth. That truth is about the life a child of God lives at work, in office, in business and within his neighbourhood. Such life of truthfulness and righteousness brightens him in a corrupt and dark world that we are living in. Noah and Abraham were good examples of such children of God in their own time. But if one rejects the truth and refuses to live in righteousness, such a person does so at his own peril. Jesus said in revelation 3: 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and Knock …..” the truth is knocking at your door today. Please open your heart and receive Him. What is this truth then? The word of God is the truth, John 14:6 the scripture also says buy the truth and sell it not. When you live in the truth you will live in heaven eternally. Truth and righteousness go together and these two must be in you before you can eat and enjoy the fruit of it here on earth. Child of God are you aware that without rigtheousness, truth and holiness the gate of heaven is totally closed against you?
Thought for the day: What do you hunger and thirst for in this life?
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver….

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 7-8; 1 John 5

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
