WITHOUT HOLINESS YOU CANNOT GO FAR WITH GOD
April Monday  23rd
Text: Matthew 7:21-23
Key Verse: Ephesians 4:17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind.

You are charitable, always helping the weak and poor, ready to help gospel work, always ready to assist like America but your back is turned against God. Your reward is like somebody who has rendered service but has no account to lodge in the cheque that will be issued in payment. God appreciates your service but the reward can only be paid into your account in heaven. The documentation required to open heaven's account is holiness. Christianity without holiness is like running a relay race without a baton in your hand. In the course of service there was miracle. That’s great! In service, Jesus will answer your prayers. He is only honouring His name. He will provide for you, He will defend and protect you but all these are for service, not for heaven. The church in our time has chosen miracle above holiness of life. These days people celebrate miracles, signs and wonders, not eternal life. We see in the life of Samson that you can be operating in service with secret sin. Even in his sin Samson demonstrated anointing. God preserved him, giving him power to uproot the iron gate and even climb up the mountain because he is preparing him for service (Judges 16:1-3). 

The gift of God is without repentance. You see ministers wearing jewelries, trousers, and committing immorality, yet they are preaching and leading many to righteousness. They will all go to hell. They are using the power of God but when they die they will go to hell. God told the Israelites I'm not going to drive the inhabitants away at once. I will do it little by little. That is the methodology of God in dealing with sinners. He exercises a lot of patience with them. Samson told multiple lies yet his power was still there. Rely not on your works. Let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me. That should be your confidence and boasting. You prophesy but sin is in your life? You cast out devils but greed is in your life? Get out of it for you don't go to heaven because you cast out devils. Live holy and stop abusing the privilege of calling. Exercise clear conscience and fight against anger, envy, lust, greed, covetousness and all forms of evil as you labour in service. Rewards are based on works of holiness - the services we render: by what motive, by what standard. That is the standard of measurement.

Thought for the day: Walk worthy of your calling
Song for the day: When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word
Bible reading for the day:
2Samuel 7-9; Luke 19:1-29

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 ...
