PURSUE NOT AFTER RICHES AND HUMAN GREATNESS FRIDAY JANUARY 27 TEXT: JAMES 4:13-15 Key verse: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” Matthew 6:24. Do not serve money or riches; instead serve the Lord your God. Do not share your service between money and God, instead cleave to God and serve only Him. Do not abandon the worship of God in the church. Do not abandon your Bible study, devotional life and prayer due to lack of time for spiritual things or because of the pressure of riches. Remain attached to your Bible, to prayer and fellowship of the brethren. Do not associate closely with the rich and great men of this world. Do not seek identification and friendship with the rich and great men of this world. They do not know Jesus. Their ways are not righteous. Many of them have sold their souls to Satan. They will certainly corrupt you and destroy your faith and hope in Christ. You will learn their ways and suffer damnation. Relate with them in a general sense only as duty brings you together. Seek fellowship with the brethren. Be humble and be content to identify with the lowly in Christ who are rich in faith, prayer and righteousness; seek the will of God for all things. Seek the will of God in all you do. Do not go into any true investment without seeking the will of God. Do not embark on any project without seeking God’s will. Projects or investments done to make name, create wealth or to impress others, promotes pride and spiritual death. These also results in wastage of the Lord’s resources in your hand. Carry out investments and projects by God’s will and guidance. What He directs you to do, His grace will be sufficient for you to keep you truthful, righteous and humble. Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven by giving your tithes and offering faithfully. It was said of a man who began with giving ten percent of his tithe to God, he later increased the portion of God to twenty percent, and he kept on increasing it until God’s portion became ninety percent. The blessings of God became great in his life, how much greater it is in heaven! Investing your resources in God’s work will keep your heart fixed on God and heaven where your treasure is. Trust in God and not in your wealth. Thought for the day: Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven. Song for the day: You are Alpha and Omega, we worship You our Lord… Bible reading for the day: Exodus 13-15, Matthew 19:1-15 #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...
