TOPIC: THE POWER OF AN EXEMPLARY LIFE             
JULY SUNDAY 1st

TEXT: Matthew 5:13-16
KEY VERSE: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5: 16

The Lord is calling you to a life that sets good example. That life is called the life of light. You are a light to the world. You are a city built on a hill. You are a light that is lighted and put on top of the table that men may see, that men may be helped, that men may see the way and follow your life as an example. There was a testimony from an unusual source about the exemplary life of a Christian living in one of the northern states of Nigeria. A Muslim was speaking to a fellow in the classroom as this person passed by. It was in a university campus. The Muslim said if that man would come and preach Jesus to him he would believe. He had seen his exemplary life. That is the power of an exemplary life. In another instance, a children’s teacher in Sunday school was describing who Jesus was in character, life style and behavior and how loving Jesus is. As he was describing Jesus, a child raised up his hand to speak. He said, “That Jesus you are telling us about is my neighbor.” The child had a loving Christian living in the neighborhood whose life mirrored Jesus Christ. The child insisted, “I have seen that Jesus with my eyes.” The teacher understood. It was the power of an exemplary life.

Regrettably, this is not the pattern of life of some Christians. Something happened in one of the northern states of Nigeria. Some preachers organized a crusade and after the crusade a Muslim woman said, “Actually, I believe this gospel message and would have submitted my life to Jesus but I fear for my two daughters. If I become a Christian, they will definitely join me, but I am afraid they would be spoilt by the dressing of the Christian women. The nakedness I am seeing would influence my daughters and they will start exposing their bodies. I cannot become a Christian even though I can see that the message is ture.” Now, can you see the negative power of an unruly life; a life of evil.

Thought for the day: Let your light shine for all men to see
Song for the day:    Come and see the Light, the Light of God, Come and see the Light Amen...
Bible reading for the day:Job 21-22. Acts 10:1-23

UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
