TWO KINDS OF VESSEL
April Sunday 22nd
Text: Luke 1:74-75
Key Verse: Isaiah 52:11  Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.

There are two categories of people in the house of God. 2Ti 2:19-21 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Vessels unto dishonour are those that serve with pride, malice, greed, worldliness and all kinds of sinful behaviour. Vessels unto honour are those that serve with purity, truth, holiness and righteousness and in the fear of God. Some people are very busy in the church and almost everywhere but they are contaminated vessels. Some others exhibit great anointing as firebrand prayer warriors, talented singers, powerful deliverance minsters or gifted preachers but they only look beautiful outside, their inside is full of filth and impurities like a whitewashed tomb. Anointing and busyness in the church are not sufficient proof of God’s approval.

In Judges 13:1-5, Samson was anointed for service right from the womb. His ministry was to deliver Israel from the oppressive hands of the philistines. Judges 13:24-25  And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. 25  And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. But the anointing did not make him holy.   He had a calling but was not born again. He was in the service of God but not prepared for heaven. The spirit of God moved him and he experienced divine favour yet without holiness. He frolicked with prostitutes and ended up scrapping his anointing on the lap of a woman. In Isaiah 45:1-5, the Lord called and anointed Cyrus for service even though he was a pagan king who did not know him or his righteousness and holiness. It is simply God’s grace and favour. In the same way, God has been preserving and protecting you even in your sin because of the calling and service he prepared for you in advance. Do not assume you are heaven-bound unless you repent and reconcile with God.

Thought for the day: God will use you as you prepare yourself – for honour or dishonour
Song for the day: Make me worthy o Lord
Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 4-6; Luke 18:18-43

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...
