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

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 ...
