TOPIC: RATIONAL USE OF LAPTOPS, IPADS AND HANDSETS IN CHURCH   
DECEMBER Thursday 27th
TEXT: Daniel 12: 3-4
KEY VERSE: And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2: 2
QUESTION: Is it right as a man of God to use laptop or phone for preaching on the pulpit instead of Bible? Secondly, is it right for members to use them in the church?
ANSWER: Well, every preacher should study his environment. There is an environment that you can do that and nobody will be offended. It is not a sin to you; but there is an environment that you can do that and the people will be offended at you and you have done the wrong thing. So, know your environment. Essentially, there is no sin in using them there but if you come to a congregation of ignorant people who don’t know that there is no sin there and you are pricking their conscience, you are making them to commit sin and you are not working in wisdom and understanding, you are sinning; Also ensure you do not distract others while using these gadgets. Often, notifications could appear if your system is online that may carry you off!
However, when you go to a congregation where the people are enlightened. “Oh this laptop, I like this model”, “Oh what software are you using? How did you get it?” That is an enlightened community. Is that clear, they will not feel that you are committing sin. We need to understand this because whether you like it or not, hard copy Bibles may be replaced by electronic soft copy Bibles in future. That’s the world! You may not even easily find the hard copy Bibles again! What they will be selling in the market may be a Bible VCD or Software or a different thing. You will just have to buy. You know we were using radio cassettes before; can you find it to buy in the market now? It has become DVDs, CDs. Another thing may come and wipe that one out as knowledge and innovation increases.
Thought for the day: God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Song for the day: God must be honored in my life every day
Bible reading for the day:
Zechariah 4-6; Revelation 18

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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...

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...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: 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 faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
