God bless you for taking your time to study.

REASONS FOR YOUR TESTS AND TRIALS

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 8:1-8, 16 
SUNDAY OCTOBER 9th

Key verse: Proverbs 8:13 “The LORD fears to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate”
God designed life in such a way that man must live by faith in Him. Your challenges in life are but courses; at the end, you will receive a certificate. The suffering you are experiencing now will come to an end and you will wear a crown. Let nobody make you give up the crown awaiting you. The following are the reasons for your test and trial. God wants “to humble thee”: Pride was the cause of the fall of Satan. He wanted to be like God and desired worship. Herod exalted himself and received praise from men and was smitten by angels, eaten by worms, and died. The reason God will destroy the world is pride: Pride corrupts the wisdom of God in man. God in His love wants to take away pride so that man can be humbled and enter heaven. Humility, therefore, is the wisdom of God for you, pray for it.
God wants “to prove thee”: You must be tested. Both Satan and man will test you. If your husband, wife, friends, or office Boss can make you change your conviction, it means you are not truly converted and the scripture says your strength is small. God wants “to know what is in your heart”: Trials will make a man speak out what is in his heart. The job was tried but he did not lose his righteousness. Never give up your righteousness easily in times of trouble like Job’s wife who spoke out her heart to curse God. Be cautious about what you say when sickness, lack of money, and affliction come your way. God wants to know “Whether thou will keep His commandment or not”: When God allows afflictions, pressure, challenges, and tensions in your life, He wants to know how you will react, whether in obedience or disobedience unto Him. There is no condition under which you must obey God’s commandment, it is at all times. God sees you, not he who causes you to sin. Obedience brings blessing: Abraham believed and obeyed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 

Thought for the day: God’s test and trial are for your promotion. Never give up.
  
Song for the day: I will never let the devil win the battle.

Bible reading for the day: 
Isaiah 41-42; Colossians 1

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
