For taking your time to study remain blessed. PERSIST IN FAITH AND PRAYER SATURDAY JANUARY 21 TEXT: MARK 11:23-25 Key verse: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son” Colossians 1:13. The believer is to look to Jesus and set His victory before him, believe always that he has been made free in Christ, confess his liberty, walk by faith, keep himself in obedience to the word of God and walk in righteousness and holiness. Jesus is to be upheld by the church. His victory over Satan should constantly be celebrated by the church. His praise and worship as Lord of lords and King of kings should fill our prayer, exhortation and sermons. Alas, it is not so in many churches today. Instead of Christ-consciousness there is Satan-consciousness in many Christian circles and in the ministry of many preachers. Believers are made to fear and respect Satan above God. To such it looks as if the victory of Jesus over Satan was not complete; or that the believer has to carry out some ceremonial rites in addition to the victory of Jesus in order to be free from Satan's power. Believers are told that a curse is still upon them: the curse of their parents, family, village, tribe, or ancestors. They are told that these curses are responsible for their bad lucks, lack of prosperity, delay in marriage, barrenness etc. Ephesians 1:21-22 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church. Faith in Christ and His righteousness terminates all kinds of curse in the believer's life. Know this truth and be free! Our attention is not on the signs, wonders, spiritual gifts, or miracles that accompany a doctrine; for Satan can back up his doctrine with these too. Our attention is rather on the scriptural authority of the doctrine. We exalt the salvation of the souls of men from sin and their eternal life above healing, deliverance and prosperity in this present life. These belong to us, but we must be sure they come from God and not from men or any devilish way. This truth does not absolve a believer from spiritual warfare. Thought for the day: Do not fear and respect Satan and his cohorts above God. Song for the day: Who can battle with the Lord (3x), I say no body… I say no devil… I say no body… Bible reading for the day: Genesis 49-50; Matthew 15:1-20 #horemow.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
