TOPIC: ZEAL WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE IS UNPROFITABLE TO THE SOUL
TEXT: Acts 10:1-6
KEY VERSE: Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

In today’s devotional text, we understand that Cornelius was a devout, generous and prayerful man, who feared God with all his household, yet he was ignorant of what he needed to do to get his name into the Book of Life and save himself and his family from eternal damnation. Although he was committed to the worship of God, Cornelius’ understanding of God’s requirement for salvation from sin and gaining eternal life was very shallow and based on observance of the Old Testament laws. He was not aware that justification was no more by law, but by faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:20-22). God saw the sincerity of Cornelius and showed him grace by sending an angel to him to instruct him on what he needed to do to be saved (Acts 11:13,14). He obeyed and sent for Peter 35 miles away to hear the instruction of life for the salvation of his soul and that of his household. Had Cornelius not obeyed the revelation message and instruction of divine mercy sent to him, he would have perished with his household despite his alms giving, prayers, fasting and commitment to God’s worship, because he was a committed but ignorant worshipper!

Isaiah 55:7, 8; Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

If you do not want to perish, you must seek for the total truth of the gospel that will save your soul from condemnation. Go for the total gospel TRUTH, embrace it, live by it, and practice it. Discover the doctrine of salvation, sanctification, baptism with the Holy Spirit, Christian marriage, tithes and offering, restitution, Christian dressing, holiness, etc. Make necessary changes in your life, in your family and in your church, if you are a pastor. Are you in illegal possession of someone else’s property? Restore such to the rightful owner. Are you a second wife or in a “divorce and remarriage” situation? Repent and withdraw from such ungodly relationship. Are you living in willful sin? Repent, forsake such sins and turn to God.

Thought for the day: Make right your wrongs for the sake of heaven.
Song for the day: Years I spent in vanity and pride
Bible reading for the day: Exodus 9-10; Matthew 18:1-20

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...

PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
