No Man Taketh This Honor Unto Himself  

Friday, February 16th

Text: Hebrews 5:4-6 

Key verse: Hebrews 5: 4 And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
No matter how a man shines under you, know that he will not take over because you were chosen by the living God. He knows your weaknesses and as long as you come faithfully to Him and plead for grace, you will have it. There is more to ministry than gifts, charisma, and intelligent preaching. Aaron was a vocalist but there was more to leadership to bring people from Egypt than being vocal. So, please trust in God who has chosen you. Do not strive because your portion will always be there in the Lord. When a couple has given birth to a child and the child is eating food, why worry about another child coming, provided they can cater for them because it is their responsibility? Do not allow envy and jealousy to spoil the work of God, to make the leader envy others, mistreat them, and send them away because of fear that they will take over. The choice to ministry is of God; no man taketh it unto himself.
Christ never took this honor to Himself, but it was a pronouncement of God the Father: He chose Christ; “You will be a high priest before Me, I have accepted You, I have chosen You. I have appointed You today.” So, if you know this why do you envy your brother whom the Lord has chosen as though he chose himself? Why do you not accept his work? Are you against the Creator for making that choice? Therefore, do not envy a person the Lord has chosen. It is of God; it is the way He does it. The Jews were damned because they envied Jesus and refused to follow Him. Do not damn yourself because you refuse to believe, accept or follow someone the Lord has chosen. Note that he who desires to serve God as a minister must work on himself so he may qualify to be chosen, appointed, and recognized by God. Sometimes God uses men to select you; it may even be by voting. If you are born again and righteous, see it that God got at you for Himself. If you desire to work for God acceptably, then qualify yourself by righteousness.  

Thought for the day: Do not envy a person the Lord has chosen

Song for the day: I surrender all

Bible reading for the day: Numbers 22-24

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
