PURITY OF A FAITHFUL CHURCH                                                                                             
FRIDAY JANUARY 5
TEXT: REVELATION 3:7-13
Key verse: “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name” Revelation 3:8.
The church in Philadelphia received commendation and encouragement without any blame from Christ. He who is holy and true did not see anything unholy or untrue in their midst. The righteous, impartial judge was so pleased with that church that all He had for them was greater privilege of more usefulness in ministry. The compromise and corruption found in other churches were not found in the church in Philadelphia. The decline of the first love, the inroad of idolatry and immorality through the corrupting influence of Jezebel, the deception of the doctrine and deeds of Balaam and the Nicolaitanes, association and interaction with false world religions, compromise and toleration of sin and false prophets, fear of suffering persecution and consequent unfaithfulness were not found in this faithful, pure, Christ-honouring church.
The Lord Jesus Christ has divine power and authority to demand holiness and to make us holy. He sets an open door before a pure, persevering church which had not denied His name when their adversaries and persecutors brought much pleasure upon the ministers and the members. They seemed to have a little strength but God is in it. Just like a little faith can move mountains and find nothing impossible, so a little divine strength can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Faithfulness with little opens door of more opportunities in ministry. The Lord promised to subdue the enemies of truth under His faithful people. He was going to prove His love for his consecrated people for all to see. And He will protect and preserve His pure, persevering people from the tribulation which will soon come on the whole world. He has promised to take away in the Rapture His righteous, pure, faithful, steadfast church before the great tribulation. He has repeatedly assured us that He is coming again. The conqueror’s crown awaits all believers who are faithful to the end. Those who are negligent and unfaithful will deprive themselves of eternal rewards and the promised glory. The overcomers will be made a pillar in the eternal temple of God and “Shall go no more out”, they will be permanent as part of God’s spiritual temple forever. What a glorious thing it will be to live a holy, victorious and overcoming life till the end.
Thought the day: He has promised to take His righteous, pure, faithful and steadfast church
Song for the day: Remember me Oh Lord, remember me in your kingdom

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 12-14; Matthew 5:1-26

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

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
