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

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...
