TOPIC: BASIC FACTS ABOUT PROPHESY 

TEXT: 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-22  

FRIDAY DECEMBER 15TH

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 14:3: "But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
Let us learn something about prophecy. The Scripture is called, 2 Peter 1:19: "A more sure word of prophecy.” It fulfills the above three characteristics: edification, exhortation, and comfort. The Spirit of God gives prophetic revelations to men. When these are uttered, they equally edify, exhort, and comfort the body of Christ. Through these prophetic revelations, believers are made to see into the mind of God and to receive a correct understanding of some scriptural truths. Through the revelations of hell fire given by the Holy Spirit believers and sinners are warned of the danger of sin and unbelief. Surely, “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."Hebrews10:31 
Prophetic revelations of heaven, the reward of righteousness, bring comfort to the believers. The believers are assured of the promises of God and are strengthened in their Christian life and service by the visions of heaven given to some contemporary believers by the Holy Spirit. When the Lord gives such edifying revelations, we are to comfort one another with these words. We should not despise prophesying because it is still one of God's ways of speaking to individual believers, the local church, the body of Christ, and the entire humanity. To despise the revelations given by God is to quench the move of the Holy Spirit in the church and the world. 
When the Lord gives a spiritual revelation concerning an individual, a local church, the body of Christ, or men in general, such should be proved by the truth and teaching of the Scripture. If the Scripture confirms the revelation to be of God, it should be received with thanksgiving and joy. We are commanded to hold fast that which is good. Never speak evil or take any evil step against the revelations of the Holy Spirit. Visions and revelations are still part of the ways God ministers to the edification of the body of Christ and save the souls of lost men in the world.

Thought for the day: Prophetic revelations of heaven bring comfort to true believers.

Song for the day: The last mile of the way

Bible reading for the day: Amos 4-6; Revelation 6

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
