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

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...
