IT IS YOUR CHOICE
May Friday 18th
Text: Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Key Verse: Psalm 119:173 Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts.

Although there is a calling and anointing, there is no compulsion on the part of God for you to keep His commandment because man is at liberty to exercise his freewill. As a free moral agent, he can choose to do what is right or wrong. He is free to take harmful decisions and damn the consequences. You love fornication? God will not stop you. The choice is yours. You love stealing, quarrelling and lying? God will not stop you. The choice is yours. Pastor, you want to steal church money and sleep with the singles and married? You want to use fetish powers to perform miracles, signs and wonders? The choice is yours, God will not stop you. But you may also choose to serve God in truth, righteousness, holiness with diligence, absolute commitment, transparency and honesty. It's all your choice. You have to choose whether to be used as a vessel unto honour or dishonour.

In Judges 14:1-3 Samson made a choice of wife among the Philistines against his parents’ counsel.  Samson had a great gift and calling but he remained in sin. His gift made him tear a lion into pieces with his bare hands. By anointing you can break the yoke yet you are still a sinner. By anointing Samson harvested honey in a bee comb without being stung (Judges 14:7-8). The presence of God protected him. God was protecting Samson to preserve him for the deliverance of Israel. God will protect you to serve in your ministry, it is your own duty to preserve yourself in holiness so that you don't labour for God in vain. Those who serve God in sin end up in hell and forfeit their reward in heaven.

God makes you to see visions, to prophesy, takes you to heaven and hell to lead many to righteousness but if you have no holiness, there is no eternal reward. You can receive reward on earth but not in heaven. Jehu was called to destroy the house of Ahab but he could not maintain holiness. He went into idolatry. God preserved his generations on earth but he was condemned to hell. You have faith that can move mountain but without personal holiness or righteousness it is all vanity. You may have riches on earth because people are showing appreciation, but forget about heaven if there is no purity and holiness in your life.

Thought for the day: Stop shifting your responsibility to God. Choose right.
Song for the day: Where He leads me I will follow…
Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 20-22; John 6:45-71

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
