DO NOT SHIPWRECK YOUR FAITH.   SATURDAY DECEMBER 16
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 1:18-20                                                                                             
KEY VERSE: “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
No runner celebrates victory before the race ends. Salvation is a process and is likened to a race or a journey. As a race, you cannot celebrate the victory of salvation until you are called to glory. As a journey, just as a safe departure does not guarantee a safe arrival, being save in the morning is not a guarantee of salvation in the evening. Every believer is prone to spiritual accident. This calls for caution. The spiritual condition at death is what matters most. Matthew 24:13…But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. It is better to start as a sinner and end up as a saint than to start as a saint and end up a sinner. Whatever your level of spiritual growth or the degree of your spiritual exploits, do not glory yet. Satan is a dogged fighter and a stubborn adversary. He never relents and he is no respecter of persons. Many great men of God have fallen into his trap in the last few days of their lives. That is why Paul admonished the Corinthian Christians:
“Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Cor. 10:11-12.
In our reading text, Apostle Paul mentioned Hymenaeus and Alexander as disciples who had fallen away and shipwrecked their faith. Judas was a close disciple of Jesus Christ and a miracle worker but he too fell in the hands of Satan. Many Christians have shipwrecked their faith without knowing it. They do not know because they are still exercising the gift of the Holy Spirit. They fail to realize that spiritual giftedness is not a proof of God’s approval. While the gift of God is irrevocable, the salvation of a saint is revocable on account of sin. “And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.” Exodus 32:33. You must hold fast what you have and not grow weary in your salvation journey. Remain fervent in prayer and abstain from all appearances of evil. In this way, you will preserve your life till eternity.
Thought for the day:   Remain steadfast in faith and guard your life against the wiles of the devil.
 Song for the day: O Jesus I have promised to serve You to the end

Bible reading for the day: Amos 7-9; Revelation 7

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 ...
