TOPIC: YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE!
TEXT: John 14:21-24
KEY VERSE: Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

God will prove your faith in obedience. Did you profess Jesus as your Lord and Saviour? Did you say you love Him with all your heart? You will have to prove your love for God in a practical way. Christianity is not just about what you profess, but what you do.  1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac (Genesis 22-1-13), he had enough reasons not to do so, but because of His genuine love and faith in God, he obeyed without hesitation.

1.       AN ONLY SON. God emphasized to him, “It is your only son.” This is the only son he bore after 25 years of marriage, and in old age. It was a miracle birth because Sarah, his wife, was already past child-bearing age. To sacrifice Isaac meant he might never have an heir through his legal marriage. It also meant the promise of God to bless his future generations would never come to pass. 
2.       THE SON HE LOVED. Again, God reminded him of the great love he had for his son. It was a type of God’s sacrifice of his begotten Son that would take place centuries later.  Isaac was practically all Abraham had left to live for in this world, yet God requested for his life. 
3.       THREE DAYS JOURNEY. God must have given enough time for Abraham to change his mind for the journey took three days into the wilderness. An unwilling Abraham could have changed his mind several times over within the 4,300 minutes he had to meditate over it. 

In all these, Abraham did not waver in faith. He remained obedient and valued his relationship with God above everything else in the world. He did not even bother to discuss the matter with his wife. He probably thought if he did, Sarah might have objected. He loved God above his wife, above his son and above every other thing in the world. Stop giving excuses for your personal failure. Obedience is a personal responsibility. No excuse is good enough for your sinful indulgences or to justify your violation of God’s instruction. Own up your error and stop passing the buck. Repent and be saved.

Thought for the day: Stop giving excuses to God. There is no justification for disobedience.
Song for the day: I am ready to obey your word (2x) I am ready to obey, the living word of God
Bible reading for the day:
Judges 1-2; Luke 7:1-30

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, ...
