HUNGER AND THIRST FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS    WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 6
TEXT: Psalm 42:1-5                                                                                                         
Memory verse:
King David loved the Lord so much that he always longed after God. He sought after righteousness and truth and pursued it with the whole of his heart, that is why the expression of his heart toward God in Psalm 42:1 “As the heart panted after the water brooks, so panted my soul after thee, Oh God; my soul thirsted for God? Here we see a man that hungered and thirsted after God. To thirst and hunger after God is to thirst and hunger after righteousness and truth. A Christian who follows after truth and righteousness is a balanced person in this life because truth will distinguished him among many and his righteous life will endear him to God. Why?  Because the heart always longs and thirsts for many things and God gives man the privilege of asking what he desire from Him. I king 3:5
 Walk in truth, walk in righteousness and holiness your heart shall be established. The Lord Jesus says, in the book of John 4:23-24 “that God is a spirit and they that must worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. This shows clearly that the believer cannot worship God and his worship accepted by God except when he conducts such worship Biblically, meaning that holiness and righteousness is his lifestyle, living in God’s truth. That truth is about the life a child of God lives at work, in office, in business and within his neighbourhood. Such life of truthfulness and righteousness brightens him in a corrupt and dark world that we are living in. Noah and Abraham were good examples of such children of God in their own time. But if one rejects the truth and refuses to live in righteousness, such a person does so at his own peril. Jesus said in revelation 3: 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and Knock …..” the truth is knocking at your door today. Please open your heart and receive Him. What is this truth then? The word of God is the truth, John 14:6 the scripture also says buy the truth and sell it not. When you live in the truth you will live in heaven eternally. Truth and righteousness go together and these two must be in you before you can eat and enjoy the fruit of it here on earth. Child of God are you aware that without rigtheousness, truth and holiness the gate of heaven is totally closed against you?
Thought for the day: What do you hunger and thirst for in this life?
Song for the day: Something more than gold, something more than silver….

Bible reading for the day: Daniel 7-8; 1 John 5

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...
