PETER THE LEADING APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

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

TOPIC: PETER THE LEADING APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST

TEXT: MATTHEW 16: 13-19 

TUESDAY OCTOBER 24TH

Key verse: Acts 2: 14 “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words.”
Peter and his brother Andrew were the first set of disciples that were called by the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ promised to build His church on the truth of the bold confessions of Peter that Christ is the Son of the living God; the Saviour of the world. Peter said Christ is the Rock and chief Cornerstone; the Stone which the builders disallowed. Peter was always outspoken; he asked the Lord several questions and made vital comments that were helpful in clearing doubts on some contentious issues. 
When the Lord told the disciples to get into the ship and go to the other side and they experienced adversities, the Lord walked on top of the water towards them, Peter requested that he too should do the same and the Lord granted his request. This is to show that the Lord can save you in any situation if only you can ask in faith. Peter rebuked Jesus when He said that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things and be killed. Peter spoke in his limited understanding as a human being not knowing the spiritual benefit of Jesus’ death to humanity but the Lord quickly rebuked Satan because He knew it was from the devil. This situation calls for caution to examine the voices you hear. 
At the mountain of transfiguration, it was the apostle Peter who spoke in amazement about the great vision that was revealed to them. It was also Peter who asked the Lord that they have left all, and followed Him and Jesus said, there is no man that hath left everything for the kingdom of God’s sake, who shall not receive hundredfold now and in the world to come, eternal life. Luke 18: 29-30. This is a strong assurance to all serving God sincerely. Finally, the Lord told Peter to feed His lambs and sheep if he loved Him.  

Thought for the day: Be a leader with an exemplary lifestyle

Song for the day: The Rock that Never Fails, Let Me Hide in You…

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 11-13; 1 Timothy 4

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
