TOPIC: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS UNPROFITABLE TO THE SOUL
TEXT: Acts 10:1-6
KEY VERSE: Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

In today’s devotional text, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous and prayerful man, who feared God with all his household, yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do to get his name into the Book of Life and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius’ understanding of God’s requirement for salvation from sin and gaining eternal life was very shallow and based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law, but by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:20-22). God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and showed him grace by sending an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do to be saved (Acts 11:13,14). He obeyed and sent for Peter 35 miles away to hear the instruction of life for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. Had Cornelius not obeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his household despite his alms giving, prayers, fasting and commitment to God’s worship, because he was a committed but ignorant worshipper!

Isaiah 55:7, 8; Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

If you do not want to perish, you must seek for the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. Go for the total gospel TRUTH, embrace it, live by it, and practice it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offering, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness, etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family and in your church, if you are a pastor. Are you in illegal possession of someone else’s property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you a second wife or in a “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such ungodly relationship. Are you living in willful sin? Repent, forsake such sins and turn to God.

Thought for the day: Make right your wrongs for the sake of heaven.
Song for the day: Years I spent in vanity and pride
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 9-10; Matthew 18:1-20

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
