TOPIC: RECORD KEEPING AND HOLINESS MINISTRY 
JULY SATURDAY 7th

Text: Matthew 1:1-17

Key Verse: And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Exodus 17: 14

The Holy Scripture is a book of record that shows the mind and work of God among men. It gives a glimpse of the work of God in heaven and the whole universe. In the Holy Bible you will find statistics of number of people, family members, genealogy, first born, meetings and so on. For instance, it tells us five thousand people ate the five loaves apart from women and children, five hundred people saw Jesus ascend into heaven, two people were on the way to Emmaus when resurrected Jesus met them, one hundred and twenty people were in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost.  Also, you will find out in the scriptures that records of finances were diligently kept and strictly supervised for holiness and righteousness sake.
In following this pattern, there should be books of records in the church to record events such as miracles, properties acquired, crusades held, people that left and why they left etc. Such record is valuable for posterity and future reference. Even God keeps record of his words and works in the bible. Isaiah 34:16 says, “Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Record keeping helps you keep track of God's grace in your ministry, the mileage you have covered and how to do more. God Himself is keeping record of the lives of individuals against the day of judgment (Revelation 20:11-15). If you understand that you have to give account of all your activities to God, whether in your private life or ministry or public service, then you need to keep good record in order that you may not be found wanton. Record keeping pleases the heart of God because it is a sign of transparency, accountability and integrity. It is a proof that you are a faithful servant who diligently does his work and keeps record in order that when your Master comes you will be able to give him good account of your service.

Thought for the day: Be diligent in record keeping because it pleases God.
Song for the day: Christian, walk carefully
Bible reading for the day: Job 35-37; Acts 14

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...
