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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
