For taking your time to study remain blessed. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT FRIDAY APRIL 21 Text: Galatians 5: 22-26 Key Verse: “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it bring forth more fruit” John 15:2 The Holy Spirit produces the spiritual virtues of love, joy, peace, faith, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience and self control in the life of the holy Christian. These virtues are collectively called the fruit of the Spirit to make his light shine before men in righteousness and holiness so that they may glorify God for his life. The spiritual virtues contained within this fruit of the Spirit are described as: 1. Love: shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, for God and for our fellow men 2. Joy: flows in the believer’s heart as a sign of true salvation, Psalm 51:12 3. Peace: proves that we are God’s Children, Mathew 5:9 4. Long suffering: makes the child of God to bear long with God and with men in times of trials 5. Gentleness: makes the Christian to love and relate peacefully with his fellow men 6. Goodness: God’s goodness manifested in the believer. Hebrews 12:14. 7. Faith: keeps us in constant connection with God, Hebrews 11:6. 8. Meekness: Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth 9. Temperance: keeps the believers from the sins of appetite and worldly cares. If we live and walk in the Spirit we will bear the fruit of the Spirit and will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Good fruits are always displayed for people to buy and eat. Jesus said that believers are the light of the World, and that we should let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify God because of us, and be challenged to draw closer to the Lord. As it is natural for good and living tree to bear good fruits, so it is for every Spirit filled Christian to bring forth godly fruits. Any person who has not the Holy Spirit in him is not of Christ and cannot bear the fruit of the Spirit. Thought for the day: Against such there is no law Song for the day: Make me Holy, make me Holy, make me Holy o Lord ….. Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 1-3; Luke 18:1-17 #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...
