For taking your time to study remain blessed. LOVE GOD AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR SUNDAY APRIL 2 TEXT: JOSHUA 4: 7-13 Key Verse: “Hereby we perceive we the love of God, because He lay down his life for us; we ought to lay our life for our brethren” 1 John 3: 16 Beloved, God is Love. He gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross of Calvary for the salvation of mankind. The bible says while we are yet sinners. Jesus died for us. This shows that God’s love is an unconditional love, perfect love and Agape Love. There are different kinds of love in the world today. The love we have for somebody because he is one of our family members, relation and friend is good but is not a perfect love. The love that fornicators have for an opposite sex in the name of boyfriend and girlfriend is the carnal love or lust of the flesh. The love you have for somebody because he is kind and good to you is good but is not a perfect love, because it has traits of selfishness. The perfect love is sacrificial, unmerited and unconditional love. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 7. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. If we are to live a life of Christ we are commanded to love God and our fellow human being. We are to love our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. That means our mind should not be divided in the things of God; in prayer, meditation, reading His word, evangelism and Christian service. You cannot love when you are still living in sin, you must be born again and your heart circumcised. The second commandment is like this, we should love our neighbor as ourselves. Our neighbour is not only people living in the same compound, but anybody we come in contact at any point in time either in the school, in the Church, on the streets, in the market or work place. Whatsoever is the need of the person, spiritually, physically and materially, we are to extend hand of fellowship to him. We are to love our enemies by feeding them and praying for them. Thought for the day: Ask the Lord to circumcise your heart today and give you new heart to love. Song for the day: He love me I cannot say why (2x), On Calvary’s tree, He suffered for me Bible reading for the day: Judges 8-9; Luke 8:22-56 #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, ...
