For taking your time to study remain blessed. PRAY FOR MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL MONDAY JANUARY 16 TEXT: 1TIMOTHY 2: 1-4 Key verse: “Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way” 1 Samuel 12:23. Ministers need to be prayed for according to the will of God. Pray for your leaders that God may give them sufficient grace and wisdom for their work. Satan exerts great force against them to cause them to sin, go into error, compromise and backsliding to the hurt of those they lead. Pray for their continual victory and success in leadership. Hebrews 13:17-18 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. Leaders are men like you that can be frightened, discouraged, or fail. When they perform well they want to be assessed and to know whether others recognize and appreciate their labour, hence commend them. They can be sick, poor, bereaved, or attacked. Hence comfort, protect and provide for them. Love them. Give them good counsel. Give them good Christian materials. Give them material gifts. Let them be paid well to encourage them in the work. To support the ministry of an ungodly and backslider leader is to partake in his evil deeds and suffer the same Divine judgment. To support them is to promote their evil deeds against God and men. You and your resources belong to God and are to support His true course and faithful ministers. Do not strengthen the hand of Satan and his evil men against God and humanity. Know that God will use other Christian leaders to bless you. The leader of the church is God himself, He calls men to work with Him in the work of saving men from sin, nourishing them, preserving them in righteousness and holiness and preparing them for eternal life through the word of God. He gives ministerial calling and spiritual gifts to men for this purpose. You can only submit the spiritual care of your precious soul to a leader who is a true disciple of Christ and not a wolf in sheep's clothing. Thought for the day: Be led by the Lord so as not to support a backslider or an ungodly minister. Song for the day: Holy Spirit, move me now, make my life whole again…. Bible reading for the day: Genesis 38-40; Matthew 12:22-50 #horemow.

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
