TOPIC: OVERCOME THOSE TEMPTATIONS AND PREPARE FOR HEAVEN. SUNDAY AUGUST 6
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 10:1-13
KEY VERSE: “If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. (Proverbs 24:10).

Many Israelites did not reach the Promised Land. They fell for the temptations they faced in the wilderness. God has given us the promise of entering heaven. But today we are witnessing great backslidings among believers, even great ministers of the gospel. They are not able to resist the temptations of the world. But as many as desire this heaven and are committed to it, God will give them the power of sonship and the grace to overcome all temptations in this life. Whether it be Israelites in the wilderness or believers in our world today, what reasons account for the backsliding among those who profess to serve the Lord?

• Initial salvation was not genuine. Those who profess faith in God without the experience of genuine salvation will lack spiritual empowerment to overcome temptations.
• Impatience during the trying circumstances of life.
• Close association with and influence of the ungodly.
• The lust of the flesh.
• Lack of commitment to God's appointed leaders.
• Unbelief, leading to murmuring and wicked actions.
• Preference for the pleasures of the world more than service to God.

As a true believer, you must endeavour to resist temptations if you really want to go to heaven. It is a matter of personal decision. Temptation if not overcome will rob you of your eternal destiny. Like Daniel of old, purpose in your heart not to defile yourself, have a purposeful heart and the Lord will sustain you by His grace, the Lord will help you. “But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” (1Timothy 6:11-12.).

Thought for the Day: Be strong in your trying moment of life.
Song for the Day: I have a God who never fails.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 78; Romans 7

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
