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

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...
