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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...
