REGULAR FAMILY DEVOTION – PART 1

Text: 2 Timothy 1:3-5
Key Verse: 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Before you can have a healthy, righteous Christian home you must have a family altar where family members converge every morning to hold family devotion. God is interested in family health and wellbeing because the condition of the family determines the condition of the society and the world at large.  A family coming together to read and study the word and pray together edifies God. This way you can access the same truth, live by this truth and operate on the same spiritual wavelength. Family devotion will flow from personal devotional life.  Steady personal devotional life involves personal discipline. If you have a steady personal devotional life you will not spend the time for devotion cooking in the kitchen or watching TV or reading newspapers or browsing on Internet.

Daily devotion is an engagement with God as first priority of the day to commit your going out and coming in into his hands and to seek his face on which way to go. Pro 3:5-8 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. 8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Righteous Zacharias and Elisabeth are a good example of a devoted family. Luke 1:5-6 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. [6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Wicked Ahab and Jezebel are a bad example of undevoted family. 1 Kings 16:30-33 And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord above all that were before him. [31] And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him. [32] And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. [33] And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

Thought for the day: Institute regular family devotion to promote righteousness in the family.
Song for the day: O give us Christian home
Bible reading for the day:
2Kings 9-11; John  5:1-24

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

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use. In the house of God we have faithful and unfaithful servants, we have zealous servants and slothful servants, we have hardworking servants and lazy servants. So in this end time revival if you are to be used, you must be a vessel of honour, a sanctified, washed and purged vessel, pure and holy. Romans 12: 1-2.
