THE CHRISTIAN COUPLE IN MINISTRY.   WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 8
TEXT: ACTS 18:24-28                                                                                                       
Key Verse: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4
Marrying in God’s will is a perfect union on earth. Christian marriage is very fulfilling. It is based on God’s principles for the individual persons in the marriage and for the two (husband and wife) as married couple in the home. It brings out sweet oil in the ministry or in the service of God as expected of every Christian family. Holy and pure marriage is a shining light and a model to the world. Priscilla and Aquila in the book of Acts 18:26 were able to expose the word of God appropriately to Apollos, this shows that those two were in ministry together. The scriptures show that one will chase a thousand; two, ten thousand. The Christians in marriage need to understand this principle of God and apply it for better and effective ministry. The work of God in our days does not need rancour and crises in the life of a man and his wife in other to propagate the gospel of Christ in righteousness and in holiness. 
Every true believer who is married is called into the ministry and service of our Lord Jesus Christ one way or the other. In his or her vocation; whether personal, Business, Government organization or church, God expects a believer to represent Him there. Therefore the consciousness of the ministry must be carried along side by side with that job or vocation –care must therefore be taken by the man and his wife that Christ is seen in their lives and Home. Holiness and Righteousness must be practice in their home so as to show good example of the believer I Timothy 4:12-13 to children and neighbours in character, and in word. The proper saying goes that the Family that prays together stays together. The Family Altar is the number one target of the devil. Once couples no longer pray together extensively the performance of such family has been affected both in their endeavours and ministry. The Family Altar is essential to keep and maintain the couple and the family intact. Attention must be given to study of the word together in Fellowship. At home, church and other places of sprit filled fellowship. This will develop the couple and unite them in such a bond that cannot be penetrated by the devil or external forces. We saw clearly the case of Priscilla and Aquila who gave themselves to study of the word that is why they could reprove, teach, correct and enhance the knowledge of others in the word. The word of God builds you for you to build others.
Thought for the day: Couples who are devoted to God’s word are useful instruments for the Lord.
Song for the day: My wife shall be a blessing, my children around my table….

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 49-50; Hebrews 5

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...
