TOPIC:  THE ETERNAL DOOM OF A CARELESS PREACHER.   THURSDAY AUGUST 31  
TEXT:  1 JOHN 2:15-17
KEY VERSE: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15).

Still at the gate of heaven, Michael Thomas Sambo narrated the pathetic story of a careless preacher. He said:

Right there at the gate with Jesus a preacher died that Saturday, 26th April, 2003, between 1.00-4:00 pm and was coming towards the gate. Afar off when I saw him he was dressed in white. This is the garment of Truth, Righteousness, and Holiness which Christ gives believers. From the place I was standing, I could not see any spot on him. He was coming toward the gate of heaven with excitement. He wanted to walk in through the gate. But the angels shouted at him and commanded him to stop. He was asked, “Where are you going to?” “I want to enter into heaven,” he replied.
        
At this time, Jesus fastened his eyes on him and said:

“When I saved you from your sins, I gave you a garment of Righteousness and Holiness of life. I warned you against defiling this garment. Your garment is now spotted with the world. This is not the garment I gave you when I saved you”
     
“The Father is Holy, I am holy, the Spirit is holy; the angels are holy, the saints in heaven are holy, all living creatures in heaven are holy. Above all, heaven has been dedicated unto holy living. Nothing that is defiled, or that worketh abomination or that telleth or loveth a lie shall in any wise enter into it. Therefore man, you cannot enter into heaven.”
   
From today's account we see that it is wise to fear God. Don't claim to be too familiar with GOD, His ways or His word. You must daily examine yourself whether you are still in the faith.

Thought for the day:  Don’t take your salvation for granted. Self-examine your life.
Song for the day: I want to live eternal life, Lord save my soul.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 145-147; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15

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...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
