TOPIC:  FAITH IS BELEIVING AND ACTING ON THE WORD OF GOD
AUGUST Thursday 30th

TEXT: Romans 1:16-17

KEY VERSE: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. Hebrews 10: 38

Faith is to be understood in two respects. The first aspect refers to teachings delivered to the church which is the whole bible. Revelation of divine truth delivered unto us. Teachings on repentance, salvation, restitution, sanctification, baptism in Holy Ghost, prayer etc. Jude 1:3, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The second aspect of faith is active faith, which makes you contact God for His blessing, miracle and power that you might receive the desires of your heart. It is active faith that connects a sinner to God to receive salvation, that connects the sick to receive healing and that connects the dying to receive life. Hebrews 11:1-3, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”

Faith is agreeing with the word of God, believing the word and acting on it. Peter believed the word, acted on it and walked on water. Peter believed, acted on the word and caught boat-sinking haul of fishes. After acting on the word you wait patiently for the outcome like the farmer who patiently waits for harvest time. With faith, result could be immediate as Peter caught great multitude of fish or later as Abraham waited 25 years to receive the child of promise.  Faith is based on righteousness. The righteous shall live by faith. Anything done without faith is sin. Hebrews 11:4, “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.”

Thought for the day: Believe God that it may be well with you.   
Song for the day:   Believe it shall be well, believe in Jesus it shall be well

Psalms 142-144; 1 Corinthians 10:14-33. #Horemow.

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...
