WORKING UNDER A LEADER WITHOUT COMMITTING SIN SUNDAY MARCH 4
TEXT: 1 KINGS 18:3-16
Key verse: “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Acts 10: 34
God is respecter of no person and sees everyone to be equal before Him. When we come before Him our position is dissolved; what matter to Him is whether we obey and do His will. Everyone is accountable to God as to how they relate with each other. You need to be just and ensure that you do not follow the commandment of your leaders, Spouse or parent to do evil. Do not compromise because he is your husband or she is your wife: the soul that sinneth shall die. In our text today, Obadiah, in the darkest world under Ahab and Jezebel, live righteously. The common sins of servants working under a leader includes: (1) Pride: Hamman’s promotion brought pride to him. See your promotion as coming from God and be meek and gentle. (2) Lie: Gehazi lied to collect talents and garments from Naaman. Covetous gains arise when they see money in the hand of their masters. It takes revelation to discern this. (3) Slander: Slanderer comes to gain favour and speak with subtlety. Ziba brought gift to David in the wilderness and slandered his master’s son, Mephibosheth and lied against him (2Samuel 16:1-4) (4) Betrayal: Judas Iscariot got close to Jesus in order to sell Him. The same way some get to leaders to betray them. (5) Envy: Doing some good things to people with the intent to still their heart. Absalom was offering counselling to Israelites at the gate of his father’s palace with the plan to overthrow his father, selfishness (6) Purloining: Stealing little by little and by tricks. (Titus 2:10). Ensure the following is done: (i) Set God before you as the one you are serving and guides your steps in life, you will have peace. (ii) Be determined not to sin and God will give you grace (iii) Learn to bear negative things or things you do not understand (iv) Seek God’s face before discussing with the person, God will confirm if there is righteousness in it. (v) Pray without ceasing: live prayerful life and God Himself will comfort you (vi) Deal humbly, cautiously with your leaders (vii) Scarcely involve third party in his personal offences against you so that his confidence will not be affected when he comes to hear it (viii) Do not yield to co-workers’ criticism and offences against your leader (ix) Be dead to self and seek not your name and promotion (x) Practice restitution: if you have done evil go and settle it.
Thought for the day: Set God before you as the One you are serving
Song for the day: Give me the grace to follow
Bible reading for the day:
Numbers 32-33; Mark 10:1-31

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
