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

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...
