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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
