GOD WANTS US TO ALWAYS DEPEND ON HIM FOR COMFORT

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study. 

TOPIC: GOD WANTS US TO ALWAYS DEPEND ON HIM FOR COMFORT 

TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 1:1-4 

SUNDAY JULY 2ND

Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it”
God wants to know those who will serve him unconditionally. He is looking for someone to reward or present before Satan as His and that nothing will take him away from Him. The person who will eventually be with Him must not easily be shaken. The job was tried and rewarded. Daniel and the three Hebrews children were also tried and rewarded. Jesus in the flesh was tried and was exalted, given a name that is above every other name, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven; and Stephen was tried and rewarded with heaven. In their temptations, they depended on God. 
God wants to make us depend on Him as our comforter. To be a comforter is to stand beside a person encouraging and helping him in times of trouble. He allows little troubles in our lives to achieve the followings: To teach us lessons so we will be able to comfort others. 2 Corinthians 1:1-4. To enable us to share with Christ His suffering on the cross without complain: Christian life includes suffering, exemplified by the life of Paul the apostle who went through much suffering and testified the same to the people of Rome: Roman 8:35-39. To learn to depend on Jesus in every circumstance 2 Corinthians 7:5-7, 10. To understand that our suffering is not always the result of our sins but often the result of Satan’s work and the world’s opposition to Jesus and His followers. 
It is the test to know those who will endure or qualify to be taken to be with Him in heaven. It also provides privileges for testimonies of the power and works of Jesus Christ. Apostle Paul’s encounter with the Lord and suffering is a good example of the power and works of God Acts 26:18. 

Thought for the day: In every circumstance, depend on God our comforter

Song for the day: Dependable God, dependable God (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Job 23-25; Acts 10:24-48

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
