TOPIC: GET RID OF JEALOUSY     
DECEMBER Friday 7th
TEXT: James 4: 2-3
KEY VERSE: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12: 21
Envy and jealousy are common among Christians and Christian ministers. Nobody envies a rich man more than a rich man, because he does not want anybody to measure up to him; he wants to be the only focus of attention and object of honour and reverence in the society. Satan knows that envy and jealousy kill the righteous; it burns through the heart of the righteous; it defiles the righteousness of the righteous.

A story was told how Satan sent his aides after a righteous man to make him backslide. They tried all possible tricks but the man would not fall. They used money, they used all kinds of things but the man never fell. Then they came back to Satan and said, “Sir, that man is righteous. We did everything we know to do but the man never fell.”  Satan said, “Follow me. Let’s go back to that same man.” When they got to the man, Satan whispered into his ear: “Do you know that your friend has been made the bishop of this Church in America?” The man said, “What does he know that he should be made the bishop? They’re making people bishops anyhow? What does he know?” Then Satan said to his agents, “Can you hear him?” 
Jealousy works to pull down and defile the righteous man. The Lord said, “A new heart will I give you.” God is promising a new heart so that envy and jealousy will not be there. Your brother is performing and, instead of you rejoicing together with him, you start grumbling: “It’s not me; why him? Why are they promoting him? Why is he this or that … blah, blah, blah.” That is the beginning of defilement. But it is because of the nature of the heart that you possess. It rules you; it is stronger than your ability to manage. God says, “I will root it out; but you have to ask Me.”
Thought for the day: Envy and jealousy kill the righteous
Song for the day: Create in me a clean heart
Bible reading for the day:
Daniel 9-10; 2 John

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, ...
