THE BIBLE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY ON REVELATIONS
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 divine 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 message may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he or she may not be capable of interpreting the revelation received correctly. To receive a divine revelation is one thing and to interpret it correctly is another (Genesis 41:15,16). Except God gives the grace of interpretation to the recipient, the service of another person gifted and called by God will be required to interpret the message.

Some of those who receive divine revelations are children, illiterates, unbelievers, and new converts. If they are to be depended upon to interpret and apply the revelations they have received, the word of God will be distorted and the church of Christ will be led into error. A sound knowledge of the Bible is required for correct interpretation of a revelation message. Divine revelation or prophesying must not be despised by believers. Apart from normal preaching and teaching from the scriptures, the Lord also uses this means to edify, exhort and comfort His children, and by this means also, He warns both saints and sinners of the danger of sin and the eternal judgment of hell fire. Divine revelations are not superior to the written word of God. The scripture is the instrument of ascertaining whether a revelation is from the Holy Spirit or not. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Any revelation that is according to the word and spirit of the scripture, exalts Jesus, promotes righteousness and holiness and does not violate any scriptural landmarks, should be received for edification, exhortation and comfort.

Thought for the day: Do not exalt revelation above the word of God.
Song for the day: God can not lie, His word must surely come to pass........
Bible reading for the day: Genesis 12-14; Matthew 5:1-26

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 LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
