TOPIC: DILIGENT HOLINESS OF HEAVEN-BOUND WIDOW
TEXT: 2 Kings 4:1-7
KEY VERSE: James 1:27, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

We see them all around us but we scarcely know what they are passing through. Jesus who says I am a husband to the widow understands better. God gives them special attention. Widows who suffer beyond measure do so because they have not known His way. The circumstance of life has put them under pressure and many of them miss heaven in the process. God wants to open your eyes and teach you truth about widowhood. He knows the way through the widowhood. He knows how to bring you out of the wilderness of widowhood. 

In our reading text, we see the burden of the widow in a practical way. Apart from losing her husband she had to raise up her children alone. Compounding her misery were the creditors who would not show mercy to her. Sometimes, the harassment of the widow is from her in-laws who want to take undue advantage of her or deny her the inheritance from her husband. It is really a hard state for the widow. Except God stands by a widow, how can she survive widowhood? How can she avoid compromise and make heaven? That is why God is giving them attention and also instructs his children to do the same. The Bible says in James 1:27, “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”

God recognizes the need of the widow for help. Your visit to a widow should not be to make a sport of her or to mock her, but to comfort her and show her love. This is what God has promised the widow in Isaiah 54:4-5, “Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.” Dear widow, your Maker is your husband, therefore, let your heart be comforted and peaceful; Do not be troubled.  For the sake of heaven, remain steadfast in faith.

Thought for the day: Widow! Be comforted for the Lord is your Husband and Defender.
Song for the day:  Who can battle with the Lord (x3), I say nobody
Bible reading for the day: Judges 18-19; Luke 10:25-42

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

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...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
