TOPIC: THE EARLY CHURCH’S EXAMPLE   
NOVEMBER Tuesday 13th

TEXT: Matthew 18: 18-20
KEY VERSE: These all continued with one accord in prayers and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brethren. Acts 1: 14
The apostles of Jesus Christ and the early Church took up this lifestyle of prayer. They were seriously involved in the prayer business. They never rendered God’s attribute of answering prayers redundant. They knew that: “Ye have not, because ye ask not.” James 4:2. Preachers and believers who are living their lives without prayers cannot possibly live in holiness. The daily grace required to live the righteous life must be requested from God. Therefore, you just have to pray. You have no reason and no excuse not to pray. You are even committing sin when you leave this attribute of God idle, hence the prayerless man is a sinner.
Prayer is an all-time commitment. It is not something you do one day and abandon for the rest of the week, only to come back to it again. It will never work that way. It must be steadfast. If you want to get something cooked on fire, say beans, you do not light the fire and when the pot is hot (say, after five minutes), you put out the fire and come back after three hours to light the fire again and resume the cooking. After a while, you put out the fire again only to come back some hours later to resume cooking and you continue like that. If it is really beans you want to cook, how many days will it take to get it done, going about it that way? In the same manner, you delay answers by the short prayers you do without continuity. “They continued steadfastly,” means the apostles were continually praying. Make steadfast prayer a habit.
Thought for the day: Prayer is an all-time commitment
Song for the day: He is a miracle working God
Bible reading for the day:
Ezekiel 4-6; Hebrews 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. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
