TOPIC: NOURISH AND CHERISH YOUR BODY TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5: 21-24   FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1ST Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5: 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Your physical body, that is your flesh, is the one that covers you. Touch your body to know and understand what this means. Your physical body is indispensable. Praise the Lord for it. The Bible says that you should preserve that body. God is willing to get that body preserved. Many people have died before their time because they did not care for the body. They never gave attention to the well-being of their body. God is interested that your body be preserved blameless, without sickness, damage, or any condition that can make it prevent your soul and spirit from giving God full worship and service.  A damaged or sickly body can make you

TOPIC: EXPLANATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TEXT: MARK 16:15-16.   THURSDAY AUGUST 31st Key verse: Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Question: Please what are the principles of holiness? Answer: To come to holiness, first tell the sinner to repent of his sins and give his life to Jesus Christ. Go to the sinners and preach the gospel, the good news of salvation in Christ to him. The kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Preach repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then when the sinner believes in the Lord Jesus Christ he should be baptized according to the Word of God. He that believeth and is baptize

TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF DIVINE VISITATION AT WOMEN CONFERENCE TEXT: PSALM 130: 1-8  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 30TH Key verse: Psalm 88:2 “Let my prayer come before Thee; incline Thine ear unto my cry.” Testimony of Mummy Jane Mallum: I came to Abuja on Friday night, rested on Saturday, and prayed all through Saturday night because I had a great burden for renewal of my special experiences with the Lord. I cried to God that for quite some time now, He has not made revelation appearances to me which I experienced quite often in earlier days. I reminded Him how He used to visit; taking me to heaven and revealing things to me, speaking audibly to me, granting me visions, etc Although my relationship with Him was intact and He actually still speaks to me, I longed in prayer for the special experiences He had been granting to me in the past.  I asked God for a spectacular experience with Him during the women’s conference. I prayed till a

TOPIC: STRIVE TO MAINTAIN STANDARD OF CHRISTIAN DRESSING TEXT: HEBREWS 5: 13-14   TUESDAY AUGUST 29TH Key verse: Romans 12: 11 “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.” Eventually, since people had accepted it, they started reducing the size of the trousers. Gradually until it became tight-fitting. We don’t know what next thing is coming. Will these people who didn’t condemn it from the beginning but kept on adjusting and hardening their hearts have any strength to preach again? That is the problem. That is why the preachers are quiet. Their energy has been eaten up. God has been reproving them and convicting their hearts yet they have remained adamant and hardened. The preachers are together with the people now as they are in their churches saying, “Leave them as they are, come as you are…” That is why the women are left as they are in these churches but the true church preaches against sin.  Th

TOPIC: BE A SERVANT OF CHRIST TO BE A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL TEXT: MARK 3:13-19   MONDAY AUGUST 28TH Key verse: John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.   Today’s scriptural reading accounts for the purpose of the divine call. These disciples of Jesus received the commission to be ministers of the gospel. He called them to be with Him and to minister to Him. So, a minister is one who is with Jesus. He must be with Jesus that is the first thing. A preacher must first be a servant under Jesus. Sometimes, the church invites preachers who are not servants under Jesus; hence, they are not ministers. A medical doctor can be called to come and teach medical knowledge. He is not a minister of Jesus because he is not with Him; he is not born again; he is not teaching by the Holy Ghost; he is just impacting physical k

TOPIC: DIVINE REVELATION OF HELL FIRE TO 7 COLOMBIAN YOUTHS  TEXT: MALACHI 3:8-10  SUNDAY AUGUST 27th Key verse: Hebrews 12:29 “For our God is a consuming fire.” Jesus took seven Colombian youths to hell to see the tortures of hell fire. They saw Christians, who did not give tithes and offerings to God, passing through great torments. Here is their account: "We saw thousands and thousands of people in torments; young people, adults, and elderly people. We arrived in a place that looked like a big swimming pool of fire, with thousands of men and women inside. Each had a metal plate on the chest that read: 'I am here for not giving tithes and offerings.' I asked the Lord, 'Lord, how can this be possible, that people are here for this reason?' The Lord responded, 'Yes because these people thought that tithes and offerings were not important, when My word shows it as a command. When people withhold

TOPIC: THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT SEEK FOR IN LIFE TEXT: JOB 21:13-17  FRIDAY AUGUST 25TH Key verse: Hosea 11:7 “And My people are bent to backsliding from Me: though they called them to the Highest, none at all would exalt Him” There are things a child of God should pray against or not seek in life. A child of God should not seek for hellfire. It means he must do everything and fervently pray not to sin and escape hell. He must be alert at all times so he does not backslide. It means avoiding every appearance of evil and being careful not to marry a sinner or cautious in handling issues with your wife or husband.  Where you are receiving the true word of God, Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide must be seen as precious gold. Satan has tactically removed many away from the movement so that you will not backslide and become one of them.  Don’t seek for your will, for it is not in a man to direct his path.

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God”. Who is God? Psalms 90:1-2 gives clear explanation about the existence of God: He is in existence “from everlasting to everlasting”. John 1:1 affirmed His existence in creation – “In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God and the Word was God”. God is One Person in three and three Persons in One. How do we know God is One? The singular pronoun used for a person is used for God: He, Him, I, I AM. One God created man and woman. In Isaiah 42:5, 45:18 He is addressed as the LORD, Self-existent Person, Jehovah, there is none else. Jesus stressed that He is God, One Lord. In Isaiah 9:6 He was given to the world and bore the title Son

TOPIC: MINISTERIAL ETHICS THAT PROMOTE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST TEXT: MARK 7:6-8  WEDNESDAY AUGUST 23RD Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:40 “Let all things be done decently and in order” The church of God must operate orderly for our God is not the author of confusion. A minister or a true child of God needs to moderate himself void of worldliness. The appearance of a minister matters a lot. You are representing the Holy God or performing service for the Holy God and must be decent in your appearance. Avoid worldliness in your hairdo. Desist from funny hairstyles such as punk, perming, bleaching your skin, and wearing trousers as a woman. Avoid incomplete gospel: Matthew 28:20 says to teach them to observe all things. Don’t leave out anything about heaven and hell; what to strive to achieve to enter heaven and what to avoid to escape hell.  Teach them the holiness of the soul, spirit, and body to present them as living sacrifice

TOPIC: SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION OF “PRAYER MOUNTAIN”  TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 2: 1-8  TUESDAY AUGUST 22ND Key verse: 2 Corinthians 2: 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. There is a strong move in the churches of our time that appears to be showing that prayer is more effective and result oriented when done on a mountain. Many people go to the mountains to pray: ministers, believers, and at times the whole congregation of the local church. Those who practice praying on the mountain seem to believe that since Elijah prayed on a mountain and there was rain and Jesus prayed on the mountain on some occasions, the mountain must have some prayer mystery and prayer advantage. More and more people go to the mountains to pray. Some go to lonely mountains in distant places to pray.  The scripture nowhere encourages the people of God to pray on mountains. There is no scriptural promise for pr

TOPIC: YOU HAVE A FULL PACKAGE OF PROMISES FROM JESUS  TEXT: 1 JOHN 2:24-25   MONDAY AUGUST 21ST Key verse: 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.   All that pertains to godliness has been given to you as a believer. It is in your package because you know God and Jesus Christ your Lord knows you. They are wrapped up in the package of scriptural promises He has reserved especially for you; exceeding great and precious promises. You look at them as if ordinary, but people triumph in life by them; people overcome in life by them; people prosper in life by them; people succeed in life; people come out of the pit by them and people come out of darkness by them. In fact, people go to heaven by these promises. They are exceedingly great. Not just great but exceedingly great and they are precious too.  If you take a second look at them, you will know that th

TOPIC: THE CROSS IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND MINISTRY  TEXT: ISAIAH 53:1-12   SUNDAY AUGUST 20TH Key verse: Isaiah 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.  Talking of the life and ministry of Jesus, our text says, He was despised and rejected, acquainted with grief concerning His life. Human beings hid their faces from Him. He was never honored by men of authority in His life. Great man indeed, when Jesus came into the world, yet the world did not recognize Him. You could imagine people constantly picking up stones to throw at Him; you could imagine people spitting on his face; you could imagine human being mocking such a great personality. You can see this concerning His life, and surely concerning His ministry.  He hath borne our grief he was doing something for us, he was working for us, doing something for our good, doing something

TOPIC: KEEP TRUSTING GOD IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES OF LIFE  TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 10:10-13   SATURDAY AUGUST 19TH Key verse: Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.  "Let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1) Conflict and effort only mean that there is life within! They are signs that My Spirit is at work in you and is taking you forward. As you seek to follow My commands, you are at the place on the road that I wish you to be. This always represents real progress - no matter what you or others may judge. It is part of the strategy of evil to make you despondent over failures, but cling very much to the thought of the gains you have made in Me. You will surprise yourself by enjoying an incre

TOPIC: MAKE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER GLAD IN YOUR LIFE  TEXT: EPHESIANS 6:1-3   FRIDAY AUGUST 18TH Key verse: Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.  Obey your father and mother in the Lord in matters that will bring joy and happiness to God, not in areas that God will be sorrowful and sad. For example, your father should not ask you to go and kill somebody or to go and marry someone else’s wife and you succumb to it. Neither should your mother ask you to go and steal, and you obey. That is not obedience to the Lord. God is not happy with such assignments and in such a case, you and your parents will be judged, because you have done wickedness. However, in matters of decency and right behaviour, obey them without hesitation. If you are told, to fetch water, wash plates, go on an errand and so on, that is good and acceptable in the

TOPIC: THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF A HOLY CHRISTIAN  TEXT: 1 PETER 1:14-16  THURSDAY AUGUST 17TH Key verse: Exodus 20:26: "Neither shall thou go up by steps into My altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered.”  To put on the attire that makes us look like harlots or rascals is to grieve the Holy Spirit and incur His wrath. God is holy. He demands holiness from those that desire fellowship with Him. God wants His children to be inwardly as well as outwardly holy. This means both our inward attitude and outward appearance are important to God. God does not want our sensitive body parts to be exposed to public view to avoid defilement among men and dishonor to God. The Bible reveals that some adornments, designs, and dressing styles do not belong to God's children but to the ungodly and sinners. Believers are bought with the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. To

TOPIC: THE DOCTRINE OF RESTITUTION  TEXT: EZEKIEL 33:14-16 TUESDAY AUGUST 15TH Key verse: Ecclesiastes 3:15: That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.”  Now that you are in Christ, the Lord expects you to serve Him with a conscience void of offence toward God and man. Hence you will need to take some corrective actions over your past life, according to the teaching of the Scripture. This may involve settling your differences with those offended by you, paying back your just debts, returning stolen property, apologizing for lies told, false claims, fraudulent acts; dissolving your unscriptural marriage union, given up false certificates. This is called restitution. The Holy Spirit will reveal to you those things that require your corrective actions. God will be with you as you carry out your restitutions and His grace will be sufficient for you. Restitut

All believers are promised the baptism with the Holy Spirit by God. This is received by prayer and faith in God's promises.  Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  Luke 11:13: "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them

The bread represents His body that was offered on the cross for the salvation of humanity. The cup represents His blood that was shed for the forgiveness of sins of all who believe on Him. The early church observed the Lord's supper daily as their meeting was daily. Later we saw that in the church at Ephesus the Lord's super was observed weekly, in the first day of the week when the brethren assembled for worship. In first Corinthians, Paul wrote of the revelation Jesus gave to him directly on the observance of the Lord's Supper:  (1) Jesus celebrated it with H

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Question: Some denominations don’t believe in tithe payment. I want to be cleared Sir. Another thing is that some people pay tithe personally to the minister, is it right? Answer: If the church of God is one, then your payment of tithe is not limited to one place. Those that say you are a member of this church all your tithes must be in that church, have not understood the scripture well or else they are selfish people who are not interested in the general welfare of Christianity.

Christian parents preach to their children to submit their lives to Jesus so that they also will be holy, happy and inherit the kingdom of God in the end. When you are a good child, you make them happy. You may be the only child but how awful it is if you are an armed robber. But imagine if the only child is godly: humble, respectful, and well behaved, you will be more to your parents than 10 children, just like John the Baptist. Parents rejoice when they have good children. On the other hand, parents of bad children suffer reproach from people in their neighborhood, schools, and the church. People laugh and sneer at them.

At other times they are able simply to take the "commonsense" way — but being careful to stay close to Me. If you are, with sincerity, seeking only what is My will, I shall in My love overrule anything which would be wrong for you. Therefore, do not worry about the consequences of life's decisions.

Some wives respect people and treat other men with great honor and humility, but the same respect is not extended to their husbands at home. The Bible says they should do the same to their husbands. Why do you love people outside more than your husband? Why are you obeying people outside more than your husband? Why do you submit to leadership; your boss in the office, even your pastor more than to your husband? Why do you deal cheerfully, lovingly with neighbors more than your husband? Make sure you submit to him, submit to him, and much more. Submit to your husband even more than you do others. Do not delay in obedience to your husband.  Does he need to call you five times before you respond?

Christians are the children of God and He has given them all things to enjoy including medicines. Children of God can use faith for their healing or medicines for their cure when they are sick. They can take conventional or herbal medicine. Herbal medicine to be used should be hygienic and free from demonic connections. All things that are beneficial to you in the creation of God are yours.

But they said, We will not walk therein.  God's word is complete and wholesome; it must not be added to or subtracted from. Our obedience to it must be similarly complete and wholesome. We must not half our obedience, nor be overzealous and begin to play some other things and say, “Oh we are over-righteous.” No! Keep to it exactly. That is the word of God. To awaken us to a total obedience and wholesome loyalty to God's word in our daily lives and Christian service is the purpose of the message of this book, because there are many that have left the true vision, the old way.

Let us work together and defend this goal in unity so that Satan will not affect us negatively through some trivial matters. We need scriptural understanding in the followings areas to work in unity: Ministerial titles: Apostles and Prophets are calling and gifts from God. We must use them according to New Testament examples. We understood that not all are called apostles or prophets and the position is not for babe in Christendom. Apostle Paul did everything to defend this title.

That is why He is telling us the truth and teaching us hard doctrines of Christianity so we can exercise our hearts for this race and be determined to live it to the end; so that we can work for God not minding the pain or suffering because it is required for the work.

Job 14: 1  Faithfulness to God does not guarantee that a person’s life will be free from trouble, pain and suffering. In fact, the Lord Jesus taught us to expect difficulties and challenges in this life. The Bible provides a number of examples of godly people who suffered greatly for a variety of reasons. Among those who suffered much were Joseph, David, Job, Jeremiah, and Paul. Jesus Christ, of course, went through the greatest suffering of all in order to accomplish God’s greatest goal, which is to make spiritual salvation available to all. The Bible tells the story of Job as a man who was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job was said to be greatly blessed with children, possessions like sheep, camels, oxen, asses an
