IS YOUR NAME WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE?
April Wednesday 11th
Text: Matthew 7:21-23
Key Verse: “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15.

It is not enough to work for God, you must walk with Him. Working for God without a relationship with Him is like studying in the university without registering your courses for the semester. No matter how hard you studied and how well you performed in the semester exams you are in for a complete carry over. The same thing applies when you labour in God's vineyard without first establishing a relationship with God. The Book of Life is the first reference point for the recognition of works and reward in heaven. Any steward whose name is missing in the Book of Life only labours in vain. To such stewards Jesus would say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” About twenty-four years after God called out Abram into service (Genesis 12), his walk with God was less than perfect. He lived a life of lies and compromise. God had to let him know He is not like the small gods that are served in sin. If he wanted to receive the promise, he must live a holy and perfect life. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Genesis 17:1-2.

Backsliders who die in their sin have great regrets in hell. One of such is the realization that they had laboured for God in vain. “When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.”  Judas laboured as a disciple but ended his life in hell. The Bible has this to say about the closing chapter of his life: “Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.” Acts 1:16-17, 20.

Thought for the day: Forsake sin. It is the only thing that can take your name out of the Book of Life.
Song for the day: I want to live eternal life Lord save my soul
Bible reading for the day:
1Samuel 7-9; Luke 13:1-21

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...
  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
