GOD USES YOU AS YOU PRESENT YOURSELF
May Wednesday 23rd
Text: 2 Timothy 2:19-22
Key Verse: Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

In every home there are different kinds of utensils and plates. Some are reserved for use on special occasions, maybe to serve daddy in the house or important visitors. Such plates are preserved in safe places and well taken care of. They are of great value to the household. Others are reserved for common uses such as plates used to feed dogs and those used for waste materials. Those that are put to common uses do not receive special care and attention. If they get damaged you don't bother much.

There are ministers that God puts to honourable use. They are like gold, silver and precious stones. They are of great value to God. But there are also those that God puts to dishonourable use. To idolatrous Pharaoh God said, “Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.” So, you find both kinds of vessel operating side by side in the service of God. Both are prophets, teachers, preachers, but God classifies them differently. God uses them as they present themselves. The holy ones are put to honourable uses whereas the wicked ones are used for dishonourable purposes.

Angels don't put on smiles when dishonourable vessels go out to minister. God is still gracious to them, feeding them, caring for them, still giving them the grace to preach, but God is not happy with them. For God’s wisdom did not allow the Israelites to possess the land all at a time. The farm owner did not pull out the weeds until harvest. They are still thriving just as Satan is still thriving until judgment day. The matter rests with you whether you want to be a vessel unto honour or dishonour. Nobody is eternally predestined to corruption. Neither is anybody eternally predestined for heaven. It is your choice. Unholy ministers are lower level ministers. Jesus does not reckon with them. Jesus only rejoices at righteous ministers. He said concerning Job, Have you seen my servant Job that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? How many ministers can God say this about in spite of their celebrity status?

Thought for the day: As you lay your bed, so you shall lie on it.
Song for the day: I want to be like Jesus
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 8-10; John 8:37-59

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
