For taking your time to study remain blessed. BE RICH IN GOOD WORKS THURSDAY FEBRUARY 16 TEXT: JAMES 5:1-6 Key verse: “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 1Timothy 6:17-18. God is a defense for those that trust in Him. Money also poses to be a defense to the rich. Reject the defense offered by money and wealth which inspires pride, arrogance and contempt of the law. Trust in God makes you meek, careful, humble, gentle and righteous. Trust in God keeps you truly protected and peaceful. Money and riches are temporal. They can vanish anytime. To boast because of them is as one with a closed fist and boasts that he has enclosed much air in his hand. At any time he opens his hand he sees nothing. Trust in God when things are shaking, going down or going up. Trust Him to give you victory, wisdom, favour, open door and sound health, and protection. Those that trust in God will not be moved. Be rich in good works. Be merciful and compassionate towards the poor and needy. Let God guide you into fruitful giving. Help the poor, strengthen the weak and encourage the discouraged in life through your resources. Be generous to all men, especially those in Christ’s body. There are things to watch against in the ministry of giving for the work of God and for the welfare of brethren; Watch against pride and high-mindedness in your life due to praise and honour of men; watch against rough and arrogant utterance due to pride. Watch against men giving you worship and undue praise due to the kindness they enjoy from you. Do not over enrich a church or a man of God to thepoint they lose focus on God and serve money. If you have much to give, remember other true churches and men of God too. Make sure you do not remove the faith of the man of God from God to yourself and that you do not take over the control of the man of God or the church from God through your money. Deal wisely and humbly. Use various methods in ministering your gifts for the purpose of protecting yourself and the others and giving all the glory to God. Give publicly, give privately, give secretly, give directly, give indirectly, using someone else. Thought for the day: Trust in God makes you meek, careful, humble, gentle and righteous. Song for the day: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not thy own understanding… Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 22-23; Mark 1:1-22 #horemow. Like Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

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...
