TOPIC: REMOVE THE OBSTACLE TO YOUR HEAVENLY RACE (1)         
JULY TUESDAY 10th

TEXT: Philippians. 3:12-14
KEY VERSE: That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory; 1 Thessalonians 2: 12

Hebrews 3:1, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus.” The heavenly race is a high calling; a heavenly calling. Your name is already in the book of life. That is why this scripture calls you holy brethren. It is rare privilege. Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. You are a step ahead of many in the world. You are among the privileged few of about 7 billion in the world whose names are in the book of life, yet there are obstacles on the journey. Your name is shortlisted. There is high hope. As the ancient saints whose names were shortlisted eventually entered heaven, you too will get there in Jesus name.
But the Lord warns that there are obstacles on the way. Some saints of old were not watchful so their names were removed. The Lord is saying that if you are able to watch, obey and follow, He will not blot your name from the Book of Life. Moses sought his name to be blotted out for the sake of fellow Israelites but God refused because Moses did not sin against him. Exodus 32:32-33  Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Paul was conscious of these obstacles hence he wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Paul was already saved when he wrote this, but he was conscious of the fact that he had to preserve his salvation otherwise his name would be blotted out if he sinned. Are you also living in consciousness of this fact?

Thought for the day: Do not take your salvation for granted. Walk worthy of your high calling.
Song for the day: Will you be ready when Jesus comes?
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 1-3; Acts 16:1-15

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 ...
