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.

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...
