THE FIRST SHALL BE THE LAST
TUESDAY MARCH 27
TEXT: MARK 9:43-48
Key Verse: “And if thine hand offend thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched” Mark 9:43.
We shall consider the following account from the book - Escaping Hell fire and entering Heaven made simple:
Jesus, the two angels and I stood together. He pointed his hand to hell and said, “Man cannot understand the nature of the torments of hell, however, go and tell him. Tell him if all the sufferings on earth were gathered to be borne by one man, it would still not be compared to what man will suffer for 24 hours in hell. Yet man may not understand, go and still tell him”. In my third visit to heaven and hell, the Lord Jesus and the angels had welcomed me with a smile at the beautiful pearly gate. We all stood quietly at the gate. I saw that the smiling face of Jesus suddenly changed into a sad and sorrowful one. I wondered what could have been responsible for that. I understood the reason by the event that immediately followed. When we were at the gate, a believer died on earth and was coming. He died that Monday around 6:00pm, not long after I was taken up. As he was coming towards the gate he was crying and pleading “will there not be mercy and forgiveness for me again? “What really happened?
Jesus narrated to me the incidence of this man. He was a fervent believer whose name was in the Book of Life. That Monday morning, he bade farewell to his family and left for a journey. But unfortunately, Satan prepared a seductive lady against him. This lady seduced him in the public vehicle he boarded. When they arrived at their destination he took the lady to a hotel and slept with her. Within that period the devil succeeded in killing him. At the gate, he cried and pleaded with Jesus for mercy and forgiveness.
Many believers are playing with their salvation. When some are confronted with temptation they easily yield thereby frustrating the grace of God upon their lives. They hope to confess and repent after sinning, but this is gambling with your only soul which Christ has redeemed with his blood. The situation of this man reveals the present state of many Christian in the church today. They are in the church but out of the narrow way. Apostle Paul describes them this way in Titus 1:16, “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”

Thought for the day: Live with the consciousness of eternity
Song for the day: Take time to be holy...
Bible reading for the day: Joshua 19-20; Luke 5:17-39

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...
