PURITY OF A FAITHFUL CHURCH                                                                                             
FRIDAY JANUARY 5
TEXT: REVELATION 3:7-13
Key verse: “I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and has kept my word, and hast not denied my name” Revelation 3:8.
The church in Philadelphia received commendation and encouragement without any blame from Christ. He who is holy and true did not see anything unholy or untrue in their midst. The righteous, impartial judge was so pleased with that church that all He had for them was greater privilege of more usefulness in ministry. The compromise and corruption found in other churches were not found in the church in Philadelphia. The decline of the first love, the inroad of idolatry and immorality through the corrupting influence of Jezebel, the deception of the doctrine and deeds of Balaam and the Nicolaitanes, association and interaction with false world religions, compromise and toleration of sin and false prophets, fear of suffering persecution and consequent unfaithfulness were not found in this faithful, pure, Christ-honouring church.
The Lord Jesus Christ has divine power and authority to demand holiness and to make us holy. He sets an open door before a pure, persevering church which had not denied His name when their adversaries and persecutors brought much pleasure upon the ministers and the members. They seemed to have a little strength but God is in it. Just like a little faith can move mountains and find nothing impossible, so a little divine strength can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Faithfulness with little opens door of more opportunities in ministry. The Lord promised to subdue the enemies of truth under His faithful people. He was going to prove His love for his consecrated people for all to see. And He will protect and preserve His pure, persevering people from the tribulation which will soon come on the whole world. He has promised to take away in the Rapture His righteous, pure, faithful, steadfast church before the great tribulation. He has repeatedly assured us that He is coming again. The conqueror’s crown awaits all believers who are faithful to the end. Those who are negligent and unfaithful will deprive themselves of eternal rewards and the promised glory. The overcomers will be made a pillar in the eternal temple of God and “Shall go no more out”, they will be permanent as part of God’s spiritual temple forever. What a glorious thing it will be to live a holy, victorious and overcoming life till the end.
Thought the day: He has promised to take His righteous, pure, faithful and steadfast church
Song for the day: Remember me Oh Lord, remember me in your kingdom

Bible reading for the day: Genesis 12-14; Matthew 5:1-26

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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
