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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
