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

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 Source Of Faith

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. The Source Of Faith  Tuesday 18th March Text: Romans 1:16-17 Key Verse: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 What is the foundation for our faith? The faith of the just man has the following sources, from where it gets its inspiration. The Word Of God: The foundation of the faith of the just, is the word of God.  The word of God is the production room of the faith which the just exercises. The faith of the just has its foundation in what God has said in His word.  Faith seeks for what God has said to stand upon.  Have you seen the promises of God for you, from the word? Have you seen God's message for you, in the scriptures?  Believe it absolutely, and it shall surely come to pass. This will enhance your faith for subsequent needs of your life. “God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, ...
