For taking your time to study remain blessed. MOVE ON TO PERFECTION THURSDAY APRIL 27 TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 16:9 Key verse: “the Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord endureth forever; forsake not the work of thine own hands psalms 137: 8 Beloved, people believe that nobody can be perfect, only God is perfect. God is perfect but He also commanded us to live a perfect life. Now the question is, can God ask you to do something that He knows is not possible in you? The Lord Jesus Christ while on earth being a man, He lIved a perfect life and He said be ye perfect just as your heavenly Father is perfect, Matthew 5:48. Though he was a son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered: and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation into them that obey him, Hebrews 5:9-10. Some will say, it is because Jesus is God that is why He was perfect as a man. But Noah was perfect in his generation before the flood. Job was a perfect, a just man, a man that feared God and eschewed evil, even God himself commended Job, What then is perfection? Perfection is defined as a state of completeness, wholesome, without fault/blame Lev 22:21. Perfection is not absolute, it is not Infallable, it is not perfect knowledge or understanding. It is being perfect in the sight of God as He described of Job. He who is perfect would not say he is perfect, for it is only God who can declare someone perfect. Christians are called to commitment and perfection. However, many things hinder perfection in the life of believers. To be perfect, we must surrender all that we have and follow Jesus. The rich young ruler could not surrender his riches, therefore he failed to attain unto perfection. The cares of this life, the pleasures and deceitfulfulness of riches hinder many believers from striving for perfection. To be perfect we must bridle our tongue, for he that can bridle his tongue, such is a perfect man. James 3:28. We must study and meditate on the word of God, 2 Timothy 3:16. We must be in oneness with other brethren John 17:23. We must evangelize and intercede for one another. Thought for the Day: Believe that perfection is possible and pray for it Song for the day: Make me perfect (2x) Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 17-18; Luke 21:1-19

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  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.

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, ...
