For taking your time to study remain blessed. LIVING THE LIFE OF CHRIST, BY CARRYING YOUR CROSS TUESDAY APRIL 25 TEXT: JOHN 12:24-26 Key Verse: “I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2: 20 There is no new life without the death of the old man, there is no comfort without pain, there is no crown without cross. Jesus paid the price for our salvation with his own blood, which is true. He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross and the bible says let this mind be in us which is also in Christ Jesus, for those who live righteously in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution, for a disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord. Jesus Christ commanded us to carry our cross when He said, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself and takes up his cross daily, and follow me. The cross is what you suffer or what it costs you to follow Christ. The cross is an emblem of obedience, when you make up your mind to obey God’s command and forsake sinful pleasure, such as fornication, adultery etc. worldly dresses and entertainments; the cross is an emblem of suffering; of course if you made up your mind to follow Christ, your husband will persecute you for removing your jewelries, make up and weavon / attachment. Being an unbeliever, he may not love you as suppose thinking you look ugly. Your wife will persecute you by nagging you for not bringing large money home that is not clean, your parent may persecute you for leaving their pagan religion, your boss may sack you for refusing to compromise; The cross is an emblem of persecution for preaching the true gospel. Thr size of your congregation may reduce for preaching total holiness, righteousness and truth. Your senior pastor may drive you out of the church for not preaching their doctrine of men. You may be persecuted or stoned for preaching Christ in some places; the cross is an emblem of sacrifice, the energy and time you put in fasting and prayer, the pleasure you denied to follow Jesus, the wrong marriage you forfeited for heaven. No matter the pain, the pressure the shame, the difficulty, you are expected to carry your cross daily to the end of your life. Thought for the day: When you go to heaven which mark of suffering will you present to Jesus Song for the day: The Lord knows the way through the wilderness. Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 13-14; Luke 20:1-26 #horemow

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
