For taking your time to study remain blessed. BE A THANKFUL WORSHIPPER MONDAY FEBRUARY 27 TEXT: LUKE 17:11-19 Key verse: “And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?” Luke 17:17. It is common for men to display ingratitude over kindness received in life due to their impure heart and ignorance of life. On the contrary, God commands true Christians to be thankful to Him for everything and to their fellow men for any kindness they receive in word and deed. We shall consider cases in scripture where men manifested ingratitude, whereas the godly ones manifested gratitude. It is evil to respond with wickedness to an act of pure love! Ten lepers pleaded with Jesus to heal them. Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priest. On the way they were healed. One returned to give thanks. The others did not. Jesus wondered at their ingratitude. What was responsible for this? They had unthankful hearts due to the presence of sin. May be they were unthankful by their tradition of pride, of having right to healings as Israelites. They were more interested in their health than the Healer. In 2Kings 4:8-17, the Shunamite woman showed great kindness to Prophet Elisha. Her love and care moved him to express thanksgiving from his heart. He called the woman to show his gratitude. He felt to acknowledge her good spirit and to make her know that he was reasonable enough to appreciate her for such kindness. He knew what good effect thanksgiving will have in the life of the woman. Elisha would feel guilty, if he did nothing to appreciate for her kindness. Elisha employed the power of God in his appreciation and she received her desired miracle. Pray for those that show you kindness. One of the ten lepers healed by Jesus returned to give thanks and to glorify God. He remembered the trauma of leprosy, the mercy he had received by God and the reality of the healing. He considered the restoration to his health, his usefulness to the human society and among others. He felt the Lord must be thanked and God be glorified. Let us always be thankful to God for all things and to be thankful to one another for acts of love and kindness that are being shown among us. Lord we are grateful, be glorified. Thought for the day: Develop the heart of thankfulness always. Song for the day: We are grateful O Lord (2x), for all You have done for us… Bible reading for the day: Numbers 18-20 Mark 7:1-13 #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 Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
