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.

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
