TOPIC: THE PERIL OF IGNORANCE AMONG CHRIST'S FOLLOWERS November Wednesday 18th
Text: John 8:30-32
Key verse: Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 

In the secular world, scientists, politicians, educationists and other enlightened members of
the society lament over the evil and death pangs ignorance casts upon men and women in their society. Sadly, the evils and death pangs ignorance of the true word of God is causing in the church and in the world is far greater. Through the teaching of sound doctrine, the effort is being made to cure men and women of this deadly plague and to usher the believer into the sunshine of biblical truth, righteousness and holiness. Only the truth saves from sin, Satan and hellfire, and only the truth gives eternal life. Like king Abimelech that ignorantly took Abraham’s wife, we find many in our world today who religiously out of sincere and innocent heart follow after God, but are sincerely wrong and condemned by God Himself for non-compliance to His word and righteous standard. Some were born into religions that denounce the Lordship of Jesus Christ as Saviour but in their heart, they think they are serving God in the right way. Unless a man believes in JESUS he cannot have eternal life.

Again, there are people in the church who appear dedicated to God's service and their leaders, but are misinformed and not taught the WHOLE doctrine of truth as outlined in the Scriptures. It is so sad to know that these two groups of people will end up their journey in hellfire despite their commitment and sacrifice. The God who did not excuse King Abimelech but declared judgment upon him for his misdeed will not excuse these people, He will not pity them for their ignorance, but shall surely condemn them to hellfire. The king tried to prove his innocence by claiming he had tried his best to make an enquiry and that Abraham and Sarah had deceived him. These excuses were not good enough to escape the judgment already pronounced upon him. This is one of the dangers of following ignorant and false pastors, teachers and prophets who give false hope and assurance to their beguiled followers. Ignorance is deadly. It kills the soul and damns it to everlasting death!
Thought for the day: Ignorance is dangerous to spiritual life.
Song for the day: Lord teach me Your will...
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 17-19; Hebrews 13

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
