THE DEDICATED CHURCH
April Saturday 14th
Text: Acts 2:42-47
Key Verse: Ecclesiastes 5:1  Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

Dedication means committing something to someone. Setting apart to someone. It is a consecration. In this instance, it means consecrating the church to God. What does it mean to dedicate a church?

1. Dedicated to God in heaven and his Son Jesus Christ. Members are committed to love of God and his service. Psalm 73:25. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. That people that come here will love their God with all their might, and soul and mind. Matthew 22:37-38.
2. Dedicated to his word of truth, righteousness and holiness to preach and teach in this church. That this place will not give place to sin and iniquity. It shall serve as hospital for sinners. And the lord shall cause the sinners to come. 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. The truth sets free. This place shall make people free from sin and iniquity. The truth sanctifies. This place shall be purified and it shall purify all who worship there. There shall be healing and deliverance here.
3. Dedicated to brotherly love and peace and unity. The blessings of God of diverse kinds shall be found here. Psalm 133:1-3.
4. Dedicated to soul winning and rescuing the perishing John 15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. That God will gather his lost sheep into the fold through this church (John 10:16).
5. It is dedicated to judgment and justice among brethren. To rebuke erring brethren and justify the righteous (1 Corinthians 6:1-8; Deuteronomy 1:16-17). A dedicated church is a church that's promising God that we will operate in accordance with your commands without compromise (Matthew 28:18-20).
6. Dedicate to prayer and fasting for the continuous work of God. My house is the house of prayer. (Luke 19:45-46).
7. Dedicated to collect tithes and offerings (Malachi 3:9-10).
8. Dedicated to brotherly fellowship and watchfulness in readiness for the Lord's return. Hebrews 10:25.

Thought for the day: The Lord is in His Holy Temple, reverence Him in worship and service.
Song for the day: The church is matching on, the gates of hell shall not prevail
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 14:25-35

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...
