TOPIC;   ORDERLINESS IN WORSHIP.  TUESDAY NOVEMBER 21
TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 14: 1-5, 24-33                                                                                                                                                                                       
Key Verse: “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge” 1Corinthians 14:29.
Prophecy or prophesying is a gift of the Holy Spirit which manifested in the assembly of the early church. This gift still manifests in the assembly of believers today, who believe in and seek for the operation of the Spirit of prophecy among them. Prophecy is different from planed sermon presented by a preacher or teacher. It is one of the gifts of the Spirit. The gift of Prophecy is the ability to receive instantaneously, a divine message previously unknown to the Spirit-filled believer, by the special operation of the Holy Spirit, for communication to an audience, for edification, exhortation and comfort. Prophecy brings to light hidden things and reveals the mind and plan of God. By this gift, the worshippers are warned, exhorted, assured and comforted. The local church or Assembly of believers should pray for the operation of the gift of prophecy among them and make provision for the manifestation of this gift in the worship service. Those who possess this gift may not all receive prophetic revelation in a worship service.  Where many signify that they have received a message from the Lord, only two or three may minister in the worship service. Those who possess this gift should learn to control themselves and ensure that the flesh does not interfere with this noble gift. The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet. Prophesying does not require uncontrolled shouting, falling down, crying, shaking, and unnecessary demonstration. The message must be given in clear speech, in dignity and decency for the glory of God. The message of prophecy must be subjected to scriptural scrutiny to know whether it is from God or not. This requires, Diligent listening to know the details of the message, John 7:51. Documentation of the details of the message for verification, Habakkuk 2:2-3. Doctrinal analysis of the message, to ensure there is no contradiction to the written scripture, Galatians 1:8-9. Dutiful verification of the revelations and predictions of the prophetic message for accuracy and fulfillment, Acts 17:11, Deuteronomy 18:20-22. Disciplinary life and attitude of the person operating in the gift, Deuteronomy 13:1-5. We must not accept every prophetic utterance without diligent scriptural investigation. We are instructed to prove all things.1John 4:1, Revelation 2:2, 20. We must be able to discern those operating by evil spirits or human spirit in craftiness and deny them ministering and audience in the worship service.
 Thought for the day: The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet.
Song for the day: Have your way Lord (6x) O Lord have Your way.

Bible Reading for the day: Ezekiel 24-26; James 3

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...
