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

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...
