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

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...
